Among the three Huan, the Ji family has the greatest power, and the uncle and grandson are equal to Meng Sun. After Ji Wuzi's death, Ji Mourning Zi ascended the throne, and Mourning died less than two years after he was in power, and his son Ji Sunsi ascended the throne for Ji Pingzi.

Ji Pingzi is young and vigorous, inheriting the competitive character of his grandfather Ji Wuzi, and he controls half of the country's army, so he doesn't take anyone seriously.

The Ji clan's Zongyi is Philadelphia, and the former governor of Philadelphia is a southern relic. After Nan Yi's death, his son Nan Kuai took over his father's position. As a result, the Ji generation is the secretary of the office, and the Nan generation is the Ji family's elder; Ji Pingzi controlled the Lu State Office, and Nan Kuai controlled Ji Sun's family.

Since Ji Pingzi didn't take Lu Zhaogong seriously (such as Qi Gui's death and opposed the cancellation of the big ceremony), he didn't even need to look at Nan Kui with his eyes. But he forgot that the reason why he despised Lu Zhaogong was the reason why he should pay attention to Nan Kuai.

Nan Kuai is not tall, mediocre in appearance, and has medium intelligence, and if he does not have a powerful father, he would be a pawn of a peddler at best. Nan Kuai has always suffered from Ji Pingzi's white eyes, and resentment has long been born in his heart.

Ji Pingzi has his own small circle at home, and the characters in the circle include Dongmenzuo, Chen Ji, and Yang Hu and Gongshan Bufu, who later turned the Lu country upside down. These people are all young people in their twenties, all of them are good-looking, intelligent, martial and powerful, and they are beautiful men who are loved by everyone (Ji Pingzi held a "Thousand Scholars Banquet" to invite all the scholars in Qufu to participate without taking off his mourning clothes, so as to replenish fresh blood for Ji's family. Confucius, who was seventeen years old at the time, was also wearing mourning clothes, and he was about to attend a banquet, but was turned away by Yang Hu).

Its East Gate Zuo is the most favored by Ji Pingzi, and Ji Pingzi once complained to East Gate Zuo: "Nan Kuai is extremely mediocre, what strengths did his father like about him before he became Fei Zai?" ”

After this sentence came out, some good deeds who were afraid that the Ji family would not be chaotic rushed to tell each other: "The Ji family will abolish Nan Kuai and change the name of Dongmen Zuo to Fei Zai." ”

Nan Kuai was terrified, he summoned a few of his henchmen, announced the bad news to them, and said, "You are all my cronies, and the Ji family will not keep you if they abolish me." So please help me fight against the Ji clan even for the sake of your own future. ”

The people agreed, but Nan Kuai did not reveal his plans for rebellion, but only asked them to prepare and wait for his orders.

Nan Kuai had already made a plan to bring down Ji Pingzi in his heart. He secretly infiltrated Qufu and found Lu Zhaogong's brother Gongzi. This Gongzi is a guy whose heart is higher than the sky, he especially admires Gongzisui and hopes that he can one day become a character like him; Later, he found that even Lu Zhaogong did not have as much power as Gongzi Sui, let alone himself. In addition to the disappointment in his heart, he also developed a resentment towards Sanhuan (especially towards the Ji family).

Gongzi later got acquainted with Nan Kuai, and although the two had no friendship, they were not hostile to each other. Nan Kuai said to Gongzi, "I am going to expel the Ji family, but I need Gongzi's help." After success, Gongzi can get the status of Ji, and then ask Gongzi to recommend me as a doctor to the prince, and ask the prince to reward Fei Yi to me. ”

The son was overjoyed and hit it off with Nankuai. Gongzi said again: "The Ji clan owns half of the Lu country, and I am afraid that you and I alone will not be able to shake him." The uncle and grandson have always been at odds with the Ji family, and if they can bring the uncle and grandson in and get the support of the Jin people, this matter will definitely be successful. ”

Nan Kuai said: "But my uncle and grandson are arrogant, he won't listen to me, let alone be with me." ”

"Of course he won't, and you and I don't need him to be with us." But if Ji Shi had troubled him first, he would naturally have done what we wanted him to do. ”

Nan Kuai suddenly realized, he left Gongzi's house and turned around to find Shu Zhongxiao. The Shuzhong clan is from Gongsun Zi and belongs to the side branch of the Shusun clan; Shu Zhongxiao also has a grudge against his uncle and grandson, hoping that one day he can replace him.

When his uncle and grandson ascended the throne, Lu Zhaogong ordered him to be the secretary of state with a life; After the death of Ji Mourningzi, Lu Zhaogong ordered his uncle Sun Wu to be the secretary of the court; In Ji Pingzi's attack on Ju, the Shusun army made the primary contribution (because it was used as cannon fodder), and Lu Zhaogong ordered Shusun Wu to be the secretary of state with the gift of three lives. In this way, the honor of the uncle and grandson not only surpassed Ji Pingzi, but also surpassed his ancestors (neither uncle and grandson enjoyed such honors).

Shu Zhongxiao, out of jealousy, was instigated by Nan Kuai, so he found Ji Pingzi and said: "Uncle Sun Wan's appointment has surpassed his father, which is not in line with Zhou etiquette, and it is not respectful to the master. Did the Master persuade him to give up his mandate? ”

Ji Pingzi was also annoyed by this matter, and when he was instigated, he immediately went to see his uncle and grandson and asked him to give up his life. Uncle Sun Wu was furious, and he shouted loudly: "There is a big disaster in the Uncle and Sun clan, and the traitor kills the heir, so I will sit here today." If the office crusades against my crimes because of the calamity of the family, I will not dare to disobey the order. If the Master wants me to abandon the king's command, those orders are already hidden in the treasury. ”

Ji Pingzi hit a hard nail and didn't dare to continue, so he had to leave in disgrace. Uncle Sun Wu was still angry, and he said to the elder: "The secretary of the country is shameless, how can he be compared with the pawns in the market!" ”

The next day, the uncle came to the court early, and he said to the historian: "I will definitely accuse the Ji family to the prince today, and at that time, please ask the master to record every word I said truthfully, and do not omit or conceal it." I will make the Ji clan confess his sins to the prince and the marquis, and admit his mistakes to me! ”

Ji Pingzi had already walked outside the door of the court at this time, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard these words; Fearing that something might happen to him, he turned around and hurried home.

Shu Zhongxiao successfully provoked discord between the two families, and at the same time pushed himself to the forefront. Nan Kuai, Gongzi Yu, and Shu Zhongxiao decided to speed up the pace of action. Gongzi's attempt to expel Ji Pingzi was reported to Lu Zhaogong.

Lu Zhaogong said: "If you can't support the Jin people, this matter will not be successful!" ”

Gongzi said, "Then the prince should go quickly!" Ministers can travel with them as retinues of princes. ”

Lu Zhaogong then took Gongzi to the Jin Kingdom, but the plan suffered a major setback before it could begin. The problem lies in the battle of Ji Pingzi. It turned out that after Ji Pingzi led his army to capture a big city in Ju two years ago, Juzi immediately sent an envoy to Jin to accuse the people of Lu.

Before the people of the Jin Kingdom could begin to deal with this matter, the Duke of Jin Pinggong died, and as a result, the case was shelved and dragged on until today.

The Jin people learned that Lu Zhaogong was coming to see the new monarch, and sent envoys to meet him day and night. The Jin envoy refused Lu Zhaogong's entry and asked him to return to China to wait for the results of the sanctions, but allowed Gongzi to enter the country.

Gongzi entered Xinjiang and found that the monarchs of Qi, Wei, and Zheng were all there. The Jin people were busy receiving the princes of various countries, and they didn't have time to deal with this doctor of Lu who came to rub the heat. Gongzi was soft-spoken, and met the doctors of the secretary of Jin for the first time, he had no way to complete his mission, so he had to leave the Jin country unwillingly.

When Nan Kuai learned that the Jin people refused to allow Lu Zhaogong to enter the country, he couldn't help but be very anxious, and he thought that it was impossible for such a huge conspiracy to be kept secret. In fact, Ji Pingzi quickly smelled the smell of danger, and he cut off Nankuai's connection with Qufu and began to mobilize Nankuai's officials - the situation had developed in a direction that was not in the favor of the conspirators.
