At the meeting, the brothers severely criticized Zhao Yingqi; Zhao Yingqi cried bitterly on the spot and expressed his willingness to change his past. But the two of them didn't give up, and they played with their stinky tempers to their heart's content. The clansmen were in mixed moods one by one, and their faces were silent with calm faces.

In the end, Zhao Kuo said: "Isn't there a 'Qi' in your name?" Since the Jin Kingdom can't tolerate you, you can go to the Qi Kingdom! ”

Zhao Yingqi said: "With me, the Luan family can't make trouble." If you lose me, you will face disaster! Besides, if you forgive me, what damage will you do to the family? ”

The two of them couldn't see that others were stronger than them, and Zhao Tong slapped the case with a "bang": "You shameless adulterer, you dare to use the Luan family to blackmail the family!" If you can stop the Luan clan from making trouble, you can collude with the Luan clan to make trouble; If you don't get rid of you, the traitor, the Zhao family will never have peace! If you don't leave now, it won't be possible to leave later! ”

Zhao Yingqi left the ancestral temple crying and fled to the country of Qi.

Two nights ago, Zhao Yingqi dreamed that an angel said to him, "If you sacrifice to me, I will give it to you." "In the morning he saw Shi Wuyun in the official office, told him the contents of the strange dream, and asked him about the signs in the dream.

After a moment's thought, Swolver said, "I don't know who that angel is. But since the angel has spoken, you had better do what he says. After Zhao Yingqi left, Shi Wuxun said to Han Ju: "God blesses the benevolent, and the evil and the adulterous." Doing the best thing without being punished is the greatest blessing. After the sacrifice, it is estimated that he will be able to escape with his whole body! Running away with all your body is the so-called 'blessing'. ”

Zhao Yingqi then sacrificed angels at home, and was exiled the next day.

The recklessness and stupidity of the Zhao brothers completely angered Zhuang Ji: since the two of them had brought down her backers and hopes, she wanted them to die without a place to bury.

After Zhao Yingqi fled, Jin Jinggong was particularly unhappy. He summoned the Zhao brothers and rebuked them with a calm expression and a stern tone.

But the blame has nothing to do with a family scandal. Jin Jinggong pointed out: Zhao Yingqi Gui is a public doctor, canonized by the monarch, and only the monarch has the right to decide his life and death; The Zhao brothers' unauthorized exile of the public doctor is to usurp the monarchy's power and have a heart of disobedience. After Jin Jinggong finished speaking, he stared at the two of them, waiting for their answers.

The two of them were so frightened that they crawled on the ground, their heartbeats intensified, cold sweat flowed, and they didn't dare to come out. After a long time, Zhao Kuo dared to raise his head and say: "The minister learned that Ying Qi has tarnished the reputation of his father-in-law with his uncle's generation and ** heart. The ministers were in turmoil and angry, so they banished Ying Qi as the patriarch. It is precisely because of loyalty to the office and the monarch that the minister abandons his beloved brother. Although the minister is loyal, he is also very remorseful for doing something wrong. The minister was willing to accept the punishment of the prince. ”

Jin Jinggong felt that the two had also learned a lesson, and he didn't want to make the scandal too big, so he continued to reprimand a few words and let the two go. From then on, the relationship between the monarch and the minister became even more estranged.

Zhuang Ji led Zhao Wu back home. On the surface, the family is as harmonious as ever; However, Zhuang Ji had ulterior motives, secretly collected evidence of the two of them, and prepared to put them to death. After Zhao Yingqi went into exile, his agreement with Luan Shu became invalid. For the same purpose of bringing down the Zhao family, Luan Shu joined forces with Zhuang Ji.

In the eighth year of Lu Chenggong (BC583), the Zhao brothers inadvertently talked about the topic of the office during a drink.

Zhao Tong said: "The prince is really unfair to us! What credit does that guy have for Zhao Zhan? He was stripped naked by the Chu people in the Battle of Yi, and lost the face of the Jin people, so that the Jin people ridiculed him as the 'naked god of war'. What does he rely on? Isn't it because Xianjun Chenggong was welcomed back from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty by his father (Zhao Chuan) who killed the monarch! This kind of goods can be a secretary, and my credit is many times greater than that of him, why am I still a little doctor? ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Let's put aside the promotion in advance!" You and I have lost the trust of the prince, let's think about how to salvage the situation! ”

Zhao Tong said: "It's all to blame for the old pervert of Baby Qi!" If it weren't for him, you and I wouldn't be where we are today! But now that the matter has come to this, how can we undo it? ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Let's take a step at a time, it's a big deal to set up a new monarch!" ”

Zhao Tong said: "Don't talk nonsense, how can a courtier shake the office?" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." ”

As a result, these words were passed to her word for word through the mouth of an informant who was bribed by Zhuang Ji. Zhuang Ji was overjoyed and passed the information to Luan Shu. Luan Shu said, "It's okay." ”

Zhuang Ji found an excuse to take Zhao Wu into the palace, and she reported to Jin Jinggong, "The Zhao family will make a rebellion and set up a new monarch!" She then relayed the conversation in detail, but withheld the last two sentences.

Jin Jinggong said: "But the widow can't convict Mingqing and the doctor just based on my sister's words!" ”

Zhuang Ji said: "In the past six months, foreigners have often entered and exited the lower palace (Zhao's house), and the prince can send someone to investigate if he does not believe it. ”

Jin Jinggong asked Zhao Ji to go back to rest, and then summoned Luan Shu and asked him to find out who was in contact with the Zhao family. Two days later, Luan Shu replied that those people were all from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Since the Jin State Office did not herd sons, the sons had to go into exile in other countries. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was large and near, the people were rich, and the world's powerful people gathered, so it became the first choice for the sons to go into exile.

After Jin Linggong was shot and killed by Zhao Chuan, Zhao Dun immediately sent someone to welcome Gongzi's black buttocks back to the capital and establish him as the new king. Therefore, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was called the "second office" of the Jin State by the good deeds. At present, the leader of the exiled sons of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is the grandson of Jin Xianggong and the cousin and nephew of Jin Jinggong.

After Xun Lin's father destroyed Lu that year, Jin Jinggong sent Zhao Tong to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to offer prisoners. Zhao Tong took this opportunity to make friends with the royal family, and also went to visit Gongsun Tan; Over the years, the Zhao clan has maintained contact with the Eastern Zhou magnates, and all parties have sent messengers to each other, and there has been constant correspondence.

Jin Jinggong couldn't help frowning, he asked Luan Shu to leave and then summoned Xun Li. He is the commander-in-chief of the country's foreign affairs, his eyes and ears are all over the world, and he is an out-and-out intelligence chief.

Jin Jinggong asked him to find out which people in the Zhao clan had close contacts with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He said, "The minister will send Zhi (his son) to investigate in person. ”

Soon Yin Li took Yin Zhi to return to his life and said that the Zhao family had the closest contact with Gongsun and had to communicate several times a month; And Zhao also recently gave Gongsun Tan a Xuan car.

Jin Jinggong summoned Luan Shu separately and asked him, "If someone gives the master a car, what does the master think that person means?" ”

Luan Shu replied: "The car is a tool for travel, and travel must have a purpose. The minister will think: That person wants the minister to go to a distant place to do something. ”
