Qi Jinggong heard that Lu Zhaogong had returned to Yuncheng, so he sent Shangqing Gao Zhang to comfort him. Gao Zhang came to see Lu Zhaogong with a big grin, saluted him casually, and called him "the lord". Lu Zhaogong has been listless during the meeting, and the two finished the meeting in a perfunctory manner, and drank a big wine without a monarch and a minister.

After Gao Zhang left, Zijiajian said: "The Marquis of Qi no longer regards the Marquis as Lu Jun!" ”

Lu Zhaogong said: "Is it just the Marquis of Qi? Who in the world still takes a widow as a Luhou? ”

Zijiajian said: "Wei Xiangong was in exile for 12 years, and was finally reinstated. Don't give up on yourself, otherwise there will be no one in the world who can help you. ”

Lu Zhaogong asked about the situation in the Jin State again, and Zijiajian said: "I have settled down, the prince can return to the Qianhou, and I will go back to the Jin State and ask Wei Shu to help." But the prince must be prepared: once he arrives in Qianhou, it will be impossible to return to the state of Lu, unless the Jin people help the prince to restore the throne. ”

Lu Zhaogong finally decided to go to Qianhou, he would rather die in a foreign country like the king of a country, rather than shrink back in a small city in his own country to seek perfection and live his whole life.

Lu Zhaogong looted a large amount of property, and then resolutely left Yuncheng, Ji Pingzi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news: "It's really torturous to be in the same country with the prince!" Well, unless I die, he won't be able to come back. ”

Ji Pingzi has several horse farms, and he drives a batch of horses abroad every year to sell, and will also use part of the money from the sale to buy supplies and send them to Qianhou. In March of this year, Ji Pingzi's retainers drove dozens of horses past the outskirts of Qianhou, and Gongwei and his thugs, who had been lying in ambush in the jungle, suddenly rushed out and hijacked the horses, and said to the caravan leader: "Immortal everyone, we can sell these horses ourselves." ”

Gongwei happily drove the horse back to Qianhou, and Zijiajian scolded Gongwei for being "stupid and greedy". In Qufu City, Ji Pingzi also scolded Lu Zhaogong for being "shameless and greedy", and then terminated the relief for Lu Zhaogong.

During Lu Zhaogong's exile, Wei Linggong also gave him several BMWs. Soon, a horse named "Qifu" fell to his death in an accident, and Lu Zhaogong planned to make a coffin to bury it.

The Zijia advised him: "The courtiers gave up their privileged lives and fled with the princes, and they are all righteous people. Although the prince cannot give his courtiers official goods and goods, he must at least care about their food and clothing. The courtiers had been working hard all year round, living a difficult life, and they had not eaten meat for several months.

"The prince should be buried according to the rank of the scholar for Qifu, which is called treating people as inferior to horses. Did the prince see the disappointed and helpless expressions on the faces of his courtiers? The prince should reward the dead horses to his courtiers, otherwise how can he not chill them? ”

Lu Zhaogong hugged his son's family and cried: "The widow only knows today that he is a ruthless and righteous person, if I could have listened to the words of the master, I would not have fallen to the point where I am today." ”

The exiles cut off the horse's head, wrapped it in sackcloth, and buried it in the suburbs, and gave a few meals of horse meat.

Lu Zhaogong has two sons by his side, namely Gongwei and Gongyan. Gongwei and Gongyan's mother are good sisters, the two have been pregnant one after another, and the due date is almost the same; So the two mothers-to-be went into the side room (delivery room) together

Gong Yan was born first, and his mother wanted to report the good news to Lu Zhao. But Gongwei's mother said, "Let's enter the delivery room together, and let's report the good news to the prince together!" Gongyan's mother thought that there was no problem, so she innocently agreed.

Gongwei was born three days later, but his mother sent a maid to report the good news to Lu Zhao as soon as possible, and used deception to make Gongwei the eldest son. Gongyan's mother suffered a dumb loss, but she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood. Lu Zhaogong did not learn this secret until after he went into exile.

Gongwei was later made the crown prince in Qufu, but as a result, he developed a lot of bad habits due to improper position; And Gong Yan behaved decently and did not dare to make any excessive moves.

During his exile, Lu Zhaogong gave Gongyan a fur and sent him to Linzi to give gifts to Qi Jinggong on his behalf. As a result, Gong Yan saw Qi Jinggong's eyes turning around on his body and was reluctant to leave, so he simply offered him his fur. Qi Jinggong happily waved his hand and gave Yanggu to Gongyan.

With a fief, Gongyan was able to use the tax revenue to sustain the exiles. Lu Zhaogong was full of praise for Gong Yan, and Gong Yan didn't dare to take it. Gongwei was very unconvinced; He bragged during a drinking session, what is Yanggu? If Lu Zhaogong sent him to see Qi Jinggong, he would be able to take Linzi into his hands.

Lu Zhaogong was so angry that he snatched the wine glass and smashed it directly. After a few days, Lu Zhaogong took Gong Yan and Zi Jiajian and others out for a walk, he looked at Gong Yan, and was pleased that he could cultivate a good son who was humble and courteous, and he was happy that Gong Yan was able to obtain Yanggu.

Lu Zhaogong recalled what Gong Wei had done (Gong Wei was the first person to instigate him to attack the Ji family, the vanguard of the vain attempt to destroy the Ji family, and the fool who made Lu Zhaogong fall into the wrong choice many times), and said angrily: "Wu Ren (the word for Gong Wei) is the culprit who made the widow fall here, but he was born but falsely claimed to be his brother and deceived the widow for more than 20 years. It's time to hold him accountable for his bullying! ”

The people who accompanied him felt very relieved, because Gongwei was a black sheep among the exiles. Lu Zhaogong returned to the station, summoned his followers, and announced the deposition of Gongwei's status as the crown prince and the establishment of Gongyan as the crown prince.

Zijiajian came to the Jin State again to lobby, and Wei Shu was moved by Zijiajiao's words and was ready to use force against the Lu State. He also hated Shi Ying's dictatorship of bribery, and wanted to use the return of Lu Zhaogong to attack his political opponents. But just as he was about to report to Jin Qinggong, Jin Qinggong was deeply tormented by illness - it turned out that Jin Qinggong had lived a corrupt life of alcoholism and indulgence for a long time, and he suffered from a stubborn illness of dampness and heat at a young age. Jin Qinggong didn't make a decision, and Wei Shu didn't dare to make his own decisions.

Zijiajian had to stay in Xinjiang and wait for the results, he lived like a year, thinking to himself who the great god Lu Zhaogong had offended, so that every step was so difficult, and there were accidents at every critical moment.

The first time the sub-family is detained, it is more than half a year; On the 22nd day of the summer of the 30th year of Lu Zhaogong (BC512), the Duke of Jin Qing died, and the Duke of Jin Ding ascended the throne. By the time the funeral was completed, it was already September, and the Jin people were busy with the autumn harvest, so they pushed the topic to the next year.

In the spring of the 31st year of Lu Zhaogong (BC511), Jin Dinggong decided to use force to send Lu Zhaogong into Qufu. The head of the Zijia family breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed back to Qianhou to report the good news to Lu Zhao. But Shi Ying would never allow others to spoil his good deeds, and he said to Jin Dinggong: "The minister thinks that it is better to summon Ji Sun first: if he comes, the prince will not need to stir up the army; If he does not dare to come, it proves that he is not subservient. It's not too late for the prince to come out again. ”

Jin Dinggong agreed, so he sent an envoy to recruit Ji Pingzi. However, the secret envoy sent by Shi Ying had faster legs and feet, and the secret envoy saw Ji Pingzi first, and relayed to him a sentence of Shi Ying: "The widow is going to summon the master to inquire about Lu Hou's exile, the master must come to the Jin Kingdom, the master does not have to worry about safety, I can keep the master safe." ”
