Chapter 605: The Rebellion of the Three Huans (5)

One day, Yi Yi Zai sent Zang Hui to Qufu to deliver the account book to Ji Pingzi, and after Zang Zhaobo learned the information, he sent the elder with four plainclothes warriors to ambush outside Ji Sun's house, preparing to take him down.

Zang Hui completed the task and sneaked out of Ji Sun's house, but was suddenly attacked by Zang Sun's warriors. But Zang Sun's room elder was too anxious, and the attack was launched too early. Zang saw that the situation was not good, turned around and rushed through the door; The old man didn't care too much, so he led people to break into Jisun's mansion and chased into the second gate to capture Zang Hui.

Hearing the cries for help, Jisun's retainers ran out one after another, holding weapons to cut off the retreat of several people. Ji Pingzi hurried over from the main hall with a sword, and roared angrily: "Who is so bold that he dares to break into my house with a weapon!" He then seized all the intruders and sent Zang Hui back to Yunyi safely.

Later, Zang Zhaobo spent a lot of money to appease Ji Pingzi's anger, he redeemed the elder, but the four unlucky ones were demoted to slavery and sent to the mountains to dig copper mines.

Now that Zang Zhaobo has fled abroad with Lu Zhaogong, Ji Pingzi has established Zang Hui as the patriarch of the Zang Sun clan. Zang Hui entered Zang Sun's house with his chest folded, walked to the side of the tortoiseshell, stretched out his hand and stroked the tortoise shell and said, "Zangju, Niju, you really didn't lie to me!" ”

Song and Yuan Gong sent an envoy to Linzi to comfort Lu Zhaogong, and told Lu Zhaogong that he would go to the Jin Kingdom to mediate for the restoration of Lu Zhaogong.

In November, Song Yuangong was about to leave for Xinjiang. On the night before leaving, he dreamed that Prince Luan was holding a coronation ceremony in the temple, and he and Song Pinggong (Song Yuangong's father) were standing on the right and left of Prince Luan in gorgeous dresses.

The next morning, Song Yuangong summoned Liuqing and said, "The widow has no virtue and cannot serve his father and brother (Hua and Xiang's families), and as a result, you are worried about me. If, with your spirits, you can ensure that I can get a good death, then the masters can give me a coffin board, and don't bury me with the gift of a monarch! ”

Zhong Ji said: "If you depreciate yourself because of the society, we dare not hear of it; If you use the law of the Song Kingdom to depreciate yourself, then the first monarch has already announced the law, and the courtiers should defend the law of the first monarch with death. So please take back your fate! ”

Song Yuangong was satisfied with his answer, and then set off with confidence.

On November 13, Song Yuangong suddenly fell ill and died on the way, and Prince Luan ascended the throne for Song Jinggong.

Regarding the death of Song Yuangong and his uncle Sun Wu, Le Qi made a prophecy long before Lu Zhaogong was expelled.

It turned out that at that time, Uncle Sun Wan and Ji Gongniao visited the Song Kingdom and married Ji Pingzi. The Song and Yuan Dynasty held a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests of the Lu State, and the banquet scene was warm and joyful. When the atmosphere reached **, Song Yuangong suddenly asked his uncle and grandson to sit on his right hand (except for the difference between monarchs and ministers), and the two drank and talked and laughed.

Song Yuangong suddenly remembered his miserable situation in the chaos of China and Xiangzhi, and couldn't help but let out a cry of sorrow; Uncle Sun Wu was infected by his grief and shed tears with him. A good state banquet burst into tears in an instant, as if someone had suddenly drunk to death. Le Qi was sitting on the left hand side of Song Yuangong at that time, and he shook his head and said, "Today, the monarch and uncle and grandson are going to die, right?" I've heard: 'Joy and joy are signs of loss of mind.' The most delicate part of the heart is called the soul, and if the soul is gone, how can a person live long? ”

Lu Zhaogong has been staying in Linzi, and he is waiting for Qi Jinggong to officially give him the order to "cede" the land of Judong Thousand Societies to him. But Qi Jinggong seemed to have forgotten about it; Lu Zhaogong regretted that he did not follow the advice of Zijiajian to go to the Jin Kingdom. But soon Qi Jinggong sent someone to inform Lu Zhaogong that the Qi army was going to occupy Yuncheng in Lu and would place him there.

Up to now, Lu Zhaogong has been completely controlled by Qi Jinggong and has become the cause of Qi's harm to Lu State. It is impossible for Lu Zhaogong to get rid of the hijackage of the Qi people, so he can only obediently be the opponent's pawn.

In December, the army of Qi Jinggong besieged Yuncheng and captured the city in the first month of the following year.

In the spring and March of the twenty-sixth year of Lu Zhaogong (BC516), Lu Zhaogong entered Yuncheng under the "escort" of the heavy troops of the Qi people, and the Lu State was divided. This scene is very similar to the history of Zheng Ligong's confrontation with Xinzheng in the past, but now there is no new monarch in Qufu City.

In the summer and April, the army of Qi Jinggong marched towards the state of Lu, intending to send Lu Zhaogong back to the capital in one fell swoop. Qi Jinggong learned from the past and issued an order against the greedy character of the doctors: "No one is allowed to accept bribes from the Lu people!" ”

Ji Pingzi saw the enemy's determination from Qi Jinggong's attitude and the actions of the Qi army. He felt that the tide was turning, and he kept shaking his head and sighing. The retainer Nu Jia said: "The master doesn't have to worry, the order of the Marquis of Qi just gave us the solution to the problem: we also bribed Liang Qiu in the same way that we bribed Su Shawei back then, so that the crisis could be resolved." ”

Ji Pingzi said: "But Qi Hou has already issued an order!" ”

Nu Jia said: "Qi Hou has been deceived for half his life, he won't know." Moreover, the minister did not go to see Liang Qiu, but to see his retainer Gao Qi. ”

Ji Pingzi asked: "Who is Gao Qi?" ”

Nu Jia said: "Gao Qi is Ziwei's son and Gao Qiang's brother. After Erhui was expelled, Gao Qi went to Liangqiu to become a retainer. But his ambition is not small, and he always wants to one day turn over and re-establish himself as a doctor. ”

Ji Pingzi approved Nu Jia's plan, and Nu Jia sneaked into the Qi ** camp with two brocades in her arms, found Gao Qi and said: "If the master can lobby Ziyou (Liangqiu) for our country, the Ji family will restore the master's status in the Qi country, and it will be followed by a gift of 5,000 bells of grain." ”

Gao Qi was overjoyed and immediately went to see Liang Qiu; Liang Qiu was overjoyed and immediately went to see Qi Jinggong. He pretended to be worried and said, "It is said that the doctors of the Lu Kingdom cannot serve their monarch, but the ministers are deeply skeptical of this statement. Let's talk about Song Pinggong, he wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to mediate for Lu Hou, but he suddenly fell ill and died on the way; Speaking of his uncle and grandson, he also sought to restore the state of Lu, but he ended up in nothing. In this way, is God going to abandon the Lu Kingdom, or is Lu Hou offending the ghosts and gods, otherwise why did he fall into such a situation?

A trace of worry suddenly appeared in the minister's heart: if the prince was as determined to help Lu Hou restore the throne as the previous two, would he encounter the same danger? Therefore, the ministers thought that the prince still withdrew from the Lu country first, and then ordered the ministers to carry out divination with the Lu Hou. As a result, if it is auspicious, the prince can return, and the army continues to advance; If it is not auspicious, the prince will not be criticized. ”

Qi Jinggong Lian called Liang Qiu "very loyal to his ministers", and this old faint monarch retreated to Qujian with a huge guard the next day. After Qi Jinggong left, the military camp became the world of Liangqiu, and he asked the Lu people for the hundred brocades promised him by the other party, but before he could see Lu Zhaogong (in order to carry out divination), Gongsun Chao, the doctor of Lu Guoyi, sent a secret envoy to the camp to meet the commander-in-chief Chen Wuzi (Chen Wuyu's son Chen Kai, Ziqiang).
