Chapter 527: The Difficulty of Uncle Sun Leopard (4)

Ji Wuzi summoned the doctors to Shi's house to discuss the disbandment of the Chinese army. Ji Wuzi said: "After the Song Dynasty's military conference, the princes have signed a peace covenant, and there will be no war for a long time in the future. The state of Lu has always respected the state of Jin as the leader of the alliance and paid tribute to the state of Jin, but according to the provisions of the covenant, we also have to pay tribute to the state of Chu.

"The covenant also stipulated that the amount of tribute was to be paid on the basis of the number of armies, and that the state of two armies was twice as much as that of one; The three armies were half more than the two. Lu is a small country, but it invests a lot of money to maintain a useless Chinese army, and pays an extra half of the sacrifice for this army, and in the long run, the country will be dragged down.

"Isn't it a joke that the army was supposed to defend the country, but now the country is collapsing because there are too many defenders? Therefore, Dr. Uncle Sun, I and Dr. Mengsun all believed that the Chinese army should be abolished, so that it would not endanger national security, and you would be able to retain more wealth. And in the event of a war, we have enough money in our hands to quickly expand our army, so why not? ”

Uncle Sun Wan had never heard his father mention this, and there was a blank expression on his face. But the bull jumped up and shouted, "Lord Situ is right, the master has long wanted to get rid of the Chinese army!" "Uncle and grandson don't know the truth and don't dare to talk nonsense; Meng Xizi had already been incorporated by Ji Wuzi in advance, so he also agreed; And once the three huans reach an agreement, the doctors will only have the obligation to vote in favor.

The Chinese army was cancelled, and the land that provided the military endowment was immediately taken away by Sanhuan: Lu Xianggong lost his army, and Lu Zhaogong lost his land and people. Sanhuan gave an order to those clans that originally formed the Central Army: "Either join the left and right armies, or pay double the taxes." Therefore, the Chinese army did not disappear, but was divided by Sanhuan and became part of its own army. Among them, the Jisun clan accounted for half, and the other two families each accounted for a quarter, and they divided the land that provided military endowments proportionally, and took out a part of the taxes collected from it to maintain the office expenses - otherwise Lu Zhaogong would starve to death.

Sanhuan abolished the Chinese army in Shi's house, and in the first month of the fifth year of Lu Zhaogong, he divided the Chinese army in Zang's family and swore a blood oath. From the beginning to the end of this matter, no one asked Lu Zhaogong for advice, and no one even revealed even a little bit of information to him, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After the matter was over, Zhu Niu took the letter of alliance to the coffin of his uncle and grandson Leopard, and pretended to say: "Your wish to destroy the Chinese army during your lifetime has finally come true today, and Niu hereby reports to you." ”

Du Qi was furious, grabbed the bamboo slip and fell to the ground hard: "The last thing the master wanted to do before his death was to destroy the Chinese army!" In the eleventh year of Xianggong, Ji Sunsu wanted to establish a Chinese army, but the master disagreed; Ji Sunsu strongly pleaded, but the master reluctantly agreed, and warned him not to abolish it once it was formed. Ji Sunsu also promised, so there was an alliance of Xi Hong, and cursed those who broke the oath in the Qu of the Five Fathers. Now you say that it is the Master's long-cherished wish, how can you let the Master's ghost rest in peace? ”

The bull was about to attack, but he saw that his uncle Sun Ren (he had rushed back from Qi to mourn) and his uncle and grandson were also in front of the spirit, and the mourning hall was full of clansmen, and they glared at him one by one. Feeling great fear, he hurriedly turned around and fled the mourning hall. Du Chu took the scholars to caress the coffin and wept bitterly.

On the day of the funeral, even Shu Zhong took the kind of scoundrel in the market (he once took advantage of Lu Xianggong's funeral to steal a piece of jade from the palace and was generally despised by the Lu people) jumped out in an attempt to take the opportunity to bully the uncle and grandson. He said to Ji Wuzi: "The Shusun clan has a family rule: 'Those who do not die well can only go out through the west gate'. I didn't dare to disobey the teachings of my ancestors, so I came to tell you. ”

Ji Wuzi hurriedly rushed to the funeral procession and ordered Du Qi to go out through the West Gate. Du Qi said angrily: "The secretary held the funeral from the Chaomen (East Gate), this is the etiquette of the Lu State, you respect the secretary, did not modify the etiquette, but suddenly ordered me to violate the etiquette system. I am afraid of the capital offense, and I dare not obey it! ”

Nan Yi said in Ji Wuzi's ear: "Du Chu is right, the uncle and grandson are newly mourned, and the master must not be embarrassed to mourn the master." Ji Wuzi turned around and left, and Du Chu escaped from Lu after burying his uncle and grandson Leopard.

After the funeral, Ji Wuzi planned to appoint his uncle Sun Ren as his secretary (because at this time, his uncle and grandson had not yet been canonized by Lu Zhaogong). The bull was so frightened that he was restless, he changed his previous style of showing off his martial arts, avoided his uncle and grandson in everything, and did it cautiously. Zhuniu promised a heavy bribe to Nan Yi again, and asked Ji Wuzi to retract his thoughts.

Nan Yi said to Ji Wuzi: "If the uncle and grandson are strong, the Ji family is weak, and their family will be in trouble, and their strength will inevitably be greatly damaged; If the Master does not interfere in the family affairs of the Shusun family, the Shusun family will continue to be chaotic, isn't this more beneficial to the Master? Ji Wuzi gave up the idea.

Seeing that his plot had achieved its goal, he spread rumors about his uncle and grandson, disparaging him as a greedy and evil unscrupulous descendant, saying that he had disrespected his father in the past, and now he was going to kill his brother again.

Uncle Sun Ren was furious and led his disciples to attack the bull; Nan Yi instigated the people of the country to help Zhu Niu fight against Shusun Ren, and the two sides fought in the court of the Great Treasury. One of the eunuchs of the Jisun family shot Shusun Ren in the eye with an arrow and shot him dead. Afterwards, Zhuniu carved out thirty villages in the fiefdom of the Shusun clan and gave them to Nanyi.

The scourge of the Shusun clan has come to an end for the time being, and the vertical bull has become the biggest scourge of the Shusun clan's anger, and he has no way to continue to gain a foothold in the family, so he has to plan for the actual situation.

Zhuniu thought that he had contributed greatly to the Ji family in the incident of destroying the Chinese army, and tried to ask Ji Wuzi again for permission to set up another family; He even got his name right, and he was called "Shu Ji's".

Nan Yi didn't have a long memory, he lowered his head and finished the request on behalf of the bull, but he didn't get a response from Ji Wuzi for a long time. He raised his head and saw Ji Wuzi staring at him with slanted eyes as if smiling, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Wuzi said: "That wants you to beg me again?" What qualifications does he have to set up another door? Why didn't he ask his suzerain? Does he want his uncle and grandson to hate me to death? After all, the three huans are still one, but that ugly monster is about to come to a catastrophe, how many radiant treasures have you received, so that you have blinded your eyes? So much so that you didn't even see this? ”

Zhuniu had no choice but to prepare to secretly transfer his family and property to the Qi State, while he continued to pretend to be casual and deal with the daily affairs of the family.

In fact, he used it as a tool for profit from the moment he grasped the power of the family, and he did not regard his uncle and grandson as his own family, nor did he regard his uncle and grandson as his father; Because he knew that the reason why Uncle Sun Leopard entrusted him with a heavy responsibility was entirely because he had a demon dream; This reason is the most untrustworthy and unreliable, because he could destroy himself at any moment because of another demon dream.

So this parasite just regarded the Shusun clan as a host, and he could abandon it when the time was ripe, and he tried his best to create this opportunity, so he spared no effort to damage the interests of the family and ruined the Shusun clan to a thousand holes.

Soon, the uncle and grandson accepted the order of Lu Zhao and officially became the secretary of the Lu State. Immediately as the patriarch, he received the courtier's court and issued an order for the first time as the patriarch, and the bull had a premonition of danger, and did not attend by pretending to be sick, but hid in a remote place and waited for news.

"I never hoped that one day I would sit here and receive your court," said the uncle, "but I am not at all pleased: for all this is due to the servant of the erector bull." He starved my father to death and killed my two siblings, so I could sit in this position. He colluded with the family, troubled the family, separated the land, and committed heinous crimes. The bull will not die for a day, my father and brother will not rest for a day, and my uncle and grandson will not be at peace for a day, so go and bring back the head of the bull now, and put an end to the calamity of the family! ”

The vertical bull usually looks arrogant, but in fact, his heart is extremely humble; Although he was fierce by nature, he was as timid as a mouse. So don't talk about confrontation with Uncle Sun Wan, he doesn't even have the courage to face Uncle Sun Wan. So when he heard the news, he immediately fled.

Zhuniu kept fleeing north, and when he crossed the Qilu border and was rejoicing that he had picked up a life, the sons of Shusun Bing and Shusun Ren suddenly appeared in front of him. They dismantled the ox into eight pieces and threw his head into the thorn bushes of Fengning, which put an end to the family turmoil of the Shusun clan.
