During Lu Chenggong's stay in the Jin Kingdom, the prince of Chu visited the Lu Kingdom. Shortly after Wang Zicheng's departure, Lu sent an envoy to pay a return visit. This was supposed to be a normal diplomatic exchange between the two countries, but in the eyes of the suspicious Jin people, there must be a hidden conspiracy: the Lu people must have two hearts for the alliance leader.

After the funeral was held, the Jin people put Lu Chenggong under house arrest again. Lu Chenggong was undoubtedly more wronged than Zheng Chenggong, and he had no idea that the Chu people would visit Lu at a sensitive time when Jin Jinggong died. He wanted to confess to Jin Ligong, but with the Yin clan in the middle, he couldn't see the other party at all.

Lu Chenggong had no choice but to send his accompanying grandson Yingqi (Uncle Shengbo) to see him, who knew that Lu was innocent, but this did not affect his use of the topic.

He said: "When Gong Bo sent an envoy to Lu and asked Lu to hand over the land of Fenyang to Qi, Ji called the widow 'two or three virtues'; 'The two hearts of the Chinese princes were born from the Lu people.

"It is true that it is not up to the Lu people to decide when the Chu people will send envoys to other countries, but the Lu country does not have to rush to return after half a month, right? Even if I believed in the loyalty of the Lu State, how could the widows and doctors not doubt it? ”

Gongsun Yingqi saw through his little trick, so he mysteriously took out a box and gave it to Yin Li. When she opened it, she saw that there were many precious objects inside, including a piece of gorgeous jewelry worn by a woman.

He picked up the jewelry and looked at it, sighed and put it down and said, "It's really rare in the world!" But my inner son has just passed away, so what's the point of me asking for this? ”

Gongsun Yingqi was happy in his heart, and his face was solemn; He first expressed his condolences to Yin Li, and then changed his words and said: "With the high family and status of the master, good women in the world are looking forward to marrying into your family; If the Master can bestow this favor on the Lu people, I will definitely choose the most beautiful woman in the Lu country for you! ”

Yin Li showed a smile: "If I am lucky enough to marry Lu Guo, who will doubt Lu Guo's loyalty?" ”

Gongsun Yingqi saw that the fire had arrived, so he conveyed to him the willingness of Lu Chenggong to ask for an alliance to show the loyalty of the Lu people. He patted his chest and slapped the ticket, and he sent Gongsun Yingqi away to see Jin Ligong, but he couldn't find that person anywhere.

It turned out that Jin Ligong was used to living a life of drinking and drinking, but the Jin Kingdom was still in a period of mourning, and the old guys like Luan Shu and Shixie had been staring at him with fierce eyes. Jin Ligong didn't dare to blatantly mess around in the palace, so he took a group of men and women out of the city to have fun in the name of "patrolling the country".

In March of the eleventh year of Lu Chenggong (BC581), the Jin people finally released Lu Chenggong. As soon as Cheng Gong returned to Qufu, Yin Li followed. After he finished his official duties, he asked Gongsun Yingqi for a matchmaker.

Gongsun Yingqi's father is Lu Xuangong's brother Shu Di, who fell in love with a Qi girl when he was young. The two fell in love and lived together without a wedding ceremony, and the girl soon became pregnant.

Mu Jiang, the Duchess of Lu Xuan, was a traditional and powerful woman, and she regarded the matter as a court scandal, so she said: "I can't be a concubine with a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals!" "I'm going to kick her out of the house.

Lu Xuangong was in the middle and the mud, and Mu Jiang packed his luggage and prepared to go back to his parents' house in anger. Lu Xuangong really couldn't afford to provoke his wife, so he sent her back to Qi after the woman gave birth to her grandson baby Qi.

She later married Guan Yuxi, a descendant of Guan Zhong, and gave birth to a boy and a girl. After the death of their mother, the brother and sister came to Lu to join Gongsun Yingqi. Gongsun Yingqi cared for the two of them very much, he made his brother a doctor, and married his sister to Uncle Shi Xiao.

His sister has an impeccable look and figure, intelligent and versatile. And she is the tribute that Gongsun Yingqi gave to Yinli. However, Uncle Shi Xiao and his sister have already held a ceremony to tell the temple and officially become a husband and wife; If she is offered to Xun Ke again, Uncle Shi Xiao must be divorced from his wife.

Gongsun Yingqi planned to find some of his black history to blackmail him, and he really spent a lot of thought and means to achieve his goal. But Uncle Shi Xiao is a decent and cautious person, Gongsun Yingqi really can't find out his problem, so he has to play yin.

Uncle Shi Xiao is a big filial son (otherwise he would not be called filial piety), he is also a rich little expert, and finally a miser. Uncle Shi Xiao's father died early, and his half-aged's mother was unwilling to be lonely, so she began to search for prey. She soon got involved with a high-ranking retainer.

Due to Uncle Shi Xiao's stinginess, the retainers lived in poverty; That retainer did a lot of bad things under the protection of the housemother. This "gong" includes not only the Shi family, but also the office. This kind of thing is nothing, but if the powerful minister takes this matter as a handle, there is no problem in getting rid of a small family.

Gongsun Ying Qi was overjoyed, and he immediately instructed a scholar to sue Shi's retainers, and the case was handed over to him. It was only at this time that Uncle Shi Xiao knew that such a scandal had occurred in his family. Uncle Shi Xiao hurriedly went to Gongsun Yingqi and begged him to remove his mother from the case.

Gongsun Yingqi said: "You think too much, don't talk about your mother, even if you can't escape it." You better go home and wait for the prince's orders! ”

Uncle Shi Xiao knelt on the ground with a snort, hugged Gongsun Yingqi's thighs, and begged him to save himself for the sake of the marriage of the two families. Gongsun Yingqi was silent for a moment and said, "You can't affect my sister. This matter has only come to me now, and if you divorce her, I can help you to suppress it; Otherwise, I could have protected my sister, but you'd be dead. ”

Uncle Shi Xiao was helpless, and when he returned home, he began to write a letter of resignation. The wife had heard the wind beforehand, and now seeing her husband's actions, she knew that the moment had finally come.

She held the letter of resignation in her hand, trying to redeem reality with a final attempt, and she lamented: "Birds and beasts can't bear to lose their partners, why do you abandon me? We can flee to the country of Qi, and our future in the country of Qi will not be worse than in the country of Lu! ”

Uncle Shi Xiao's eyes were hollow, and his words were cold and ruthless, as if his soul had left his body: "You might as well beg my brother if you beg me, and I can't die or go into exile for you." ”

She looked at her husband one last time in amazement and reluctantly, and left the house silently in tears.

Gongsun Yingqi was waiting for his sister in the Xuan car outside the door. The two sat in the car, and Gongsun Yingqi said: "I have indeed wronged you, but what you have done is for the sake of Lu Guo." Moreover, Uncle Ku Cheng (郤犨) is a secretary of a great country, and Shi is just a doctor of a small country; I don't know how many times stronger his life when he married Uncle Ku Cheng than it is now. If I do this, I will give you a better home! Besides, *******, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”

My sister said, "Baoguo has its own boys. When did Lu Guo fall to the point where he needed his sister to protect his brother and his inner son to protect her husband? Besides, I am a Qi person, not a Lu person. As a secretary of state, you hold the military and political power, but you push the defense of the country to me, a little woman, don't you really feel ashamed at all! ”

Gongsun Yingqi smiled awkwardly, avoiding her gaze, staring directly out the window, unable to say a word.
