In the spring of the seventeenth year of Lu Xuangong (BC592), the Jin people planned to hold an alliance meeting in Jiedao (now southwest of Jiyuan, Henan), and the countries invited this time were Qi, Lu, Cao, Wei, and Di. Song and Zheng were excluded because they became allies of the state of Chu.

He was ordered to go to the countries to issue a notice, but a farce that happened in Qi caused the Jin and Qi to turn against each other, and eventually led to the outbreak of the war between the two countries.

It turned out that the monarchs of Lu, Wei, and Cao heard that the first stop of Hao Ke's visit was Linzi, so they sent envoys to Linzi, first, to express their attention to the great powers, and second, to conduct pre-alliance consultations with other countries.

However, it happened that the envoys of the four countries had their own physical defects: Xun Ke was a one-eyed dragon; Ji Sun Xing's father (Ji Wenzi) of Lu State did not have a single hair on the top of his head; Sun Liang's father, who defended the country, had long legs and short legs; Cao Guo's son-in-law has a big pot in his hand, and he can only see the person in front of him when he lies down.

The envoys of the four countries arrived in Linzi one after another and were received by Qi Qinggong. Every time Qi Qinggong saw a messenger, he had to laugh once when he returned to the palace. When he was greeting his mother Mrs. Hui (Uncle Xiao Tong), he remembered the strange appearance of those people again, and suddenly a particularly bad idea popped up in his heart, he couldn't control himself, and laughed out loud, and he couldn't stop laughing, and he kept laughing until he fell to the ground.

Qi Qinggong was originally the illegitimate son of Qi Huigong and Xiao Tong's uncle, and the relationship between Qi Qinggong and Xiao Tong's uncle can be traced back to the time when the fifth prince failed in rebellion and was forced into exile.

Gongzi Yuan failed to compete for the throne and was forced to flee to Xiaocheng. Xiao Jun is a man with a bold temperament, he and Gongzi Yuan are old acquaintances, and he has received a lot of benefits from the people of Qi State, so he treats Gongzi Yuan as a brother - the treatment that his brothers can get, Gongzi Yuan enjoys.

Gongziyuan was not polite, he regarded Xiao Jun's home as his own home, his son as his own son, and finally his woman as his own woman.

The two soon began a chaotic affair. Because the genes of the nobles of the Qi State are far better than those of Xiao Ren, Uncle Xiao Tong is completely indulged in the infatuation with Gongzi Yuan and cannot extricate himself. Although the relationship between the two has been developing in secret, there will be a day when others will find out.

There is no mouth in the world that does not gossip, and this scandal soon reached Xiao Jun's ears. Gongzi Yuan saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled Uncle Xiao Tong and escaped from Xiao Cheng overnight. Because of the black history in Xiaocheng, Gongzi Yuan did not have the face to take refuge with other nobles, so he settled down in a remote mountainous area.

Gongziyuan bought a piece of land and prepared to live here with his lover for the rest of his life. The two depended on each other, worked hard, and lived a life of male farmers and female weavers, and the uncle gave birth to a son Wuye (later Qi Qinggong) during this period.

Gongzi Yuan returned to Qi after being pardoned, and he did not find a new love again, but stayed with his uncle until his old age - the relationship between the two has no political factors, and it transcends the ** itself.

Because of this, the uncle has always been immersed in endless sadness for the death of Qi Huigong, it has been ten years since Qi Huigong's death, but Qi Qinggong has never seen his mother smile.

The laughing bacillus emanating from Qi Qinggong's body immediately infected everyone present, and everyone laughed, even Mrs. Hui couldn't help but laugh. Qi Qinggong laughed almost enough, then got up from the ground to wipe his tears, and told his mother about those interesting things.

Mrs. Hui couldn't help but be curious, she wanted to see if those people were really as ridiculous as her son said. Qi Qinggong said that he was ready to invite his mother to watch a good show.

The multilateral talks were scheduled to be held the next day, and Qi Qinggong asked Mrs. Hui to hide in a side room with a wide view.

Hao Ke came out of the post house early in the morning wearing court uniforms, and saw that the people of Qi had prepared a car for him. He inadvertently glanced at the driver's hand and found that the other party was also one eye; He didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a coincidence.

After entering the palace square, the car stopped, and Xun Ke stepped out of the car, and the cars of the other envoys also arrived. Xun Ke suddenly discovered: Ji Sun Xing's father's driver's head is shiny; Sun Liang's father's driver had no legs at all, and could only walk on crutches; The most hateful thing is the coachman of the son's hand, with a huge hump bulging on his back, and his head is about to be stuck in the crotch of his pants.

As a result, there were two one-eyed dragons, two bald heads, two old lame people, and two big Luo pots in the square, and the most unbearable thing was that Ji Sun Xing's father's coachman still followed him on crutches and walked a few steps imitating his appearance, as if he wanted to enter the temple with him.

The doctors of Qi couldn't help but be shocked, the faces of the guards turned purple, and Mrs. Hui saw this once-in-a-century scene, and laughed loudly, laughing so hard that her room trembled.

The envoys of the four countries were furious, but they all showed the quality of diplomacy in the face of the situation, and still participated in the talks ceremony with normal faces.

At the meeting, Xu Ke formally invited the four countries to attend the alliance, but the Qi people were very resistant and passive, and all signs indicated that they did not intend to participate in the alliance at all.

It turned out that Qi Qinggong was originally a guy who was arrogant and had no one in his eyes; He behaved like Qi Xianggong; His attitude towards the Jin people can be summed up in just five words: "What are you?" ”

No consensus was reached at the first meeting, and the parties agreed to reconvene tomorrow. After the meeting, Doctor Qi said with a weak sigh: "I can't figure it out, what kind of power gave the prince so much confidence that he actually thought he was sure to confront the Jin Kingdom?" If there is nothing, the country of Qi will suffer! ”

When he left the palace gate, he called the envoys of the other three countries, and later the four of them came to a remote place outside the palace walls and talked for a long time. When the envoys said goodbye to each other, Xun Ke swore: "If I can't take revenge on the Qi state, I will never cross the Yellow River again in this life." He returned to the post station, ordered the deputy envoy to continue to participate in the subsequent negotiations, and said: "If you can't convince Qi to participate in the meeting, you don't want to go back!" Then he returned to Jin overnight.

He entered the capital day and night, and when he saw Jin Jinggong, he complained to him about the rudeness of the Qi people and the humiliation he had suffered; In the end, he asked for a division to go out of the army.

Jin Jinggong said: "There are strong enemies in the west and south, and the Jin State cannot continue to make enemies, what the Jin State should do is to join forces to resist Chu." ”

Xun Ke said: "But the people of Qi don't think so, otherwise they won't humiliate the envoy of the great power." If the office can't send out the division, the minister asks to lead the family to fight against the Qi country! ”

Jin Jinggong said: "The Yin family is part of the office, you can't leave the office and go out on your own!" ”

He was extremely unwilling, and he went door to door to visit the doctors and send a request to each other, hoping that they would support his claim.

Soon the deputy envoy returned to China to resume his life, saying that the people of Qi had agreed to participate in the Broken Dao Alliance, but the Marquis of Qi said that he would not attend in person, but sent Secretary Gao Gu to replace him. Jin Jinggong was annoyed in his heart, and Xun Ke took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar to provoke his resentment against Qi Guo. Jin Jinggong was unmoved, he said: "All the current grudges must make way for the alliance of breaking the road, and the matter of cutting Qi will be discussed after the alliance is over." ”
