Chapter 683: Kuai Shen stabbed Nanzi
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Lu Dinggong, Confucius and his disciples came to defend the country.
Zilu found his brother-in-law in Weiguo and Wei Linggong's favorite retainer Mi Zibian and asked him to dredge up the relationship on his behalf. Under the recommendation of Mi Zibian, Confucius was able to meet Wei Linggong. Wei Linggong admired the name of Confucius for a long time (even Qi Jinggong did not speak ill of Confucius in front of him), and he was so excited that he held a grand welcome ceremony for him and his students.
After the ceremony, Wei Linggong asked Confucius about the treatment he enjoyed in the state of Lu, and Confucius replied, "Sixty thousand." Wei Linggong ordered his treatment in the state of Lu to be maintained. According to the ancient system, for the exiled doctor, the receiving country had to be demoted to one level, Wei Linggong maintained his Yulu, and it has to be said that he showed considerable respect and respect for Confucius.
Soon after Confucius arrived in Weiguo, there was an incident of expulsion of Gongshu by the public office. The deportation is not the final result, but continues to ferment. In the spring of the following year, Wei Linggong expelled some of Gong Shuxu's henchmen, some of the big names in the office. As a result, the power of the princelings plummeted, and Nanzi's wife party became more and more arrogant.
One day, Nanzi, the Duchess of Wei Ling, had a whimsical idea to meet the world-famous big thinker - Confucius. When Confucius received the invitation, he immediately began to prepare for entering the palace: he carefully selected a gown, a crown, and a sword, carefully wiped the fine dust from the hidden places on the sword, and trimmed his gray beard in front of the bronze mirror.
Zilu had never seen the teacher make such careful preparations for meeting a woman, and a nameless fire suddenly arched in his heart. He said in a loud voice: "Nanzi is a prodigal with a lewd nature and a bad record. She wants to meet her master alone, and she is so dressed up, what do you want to do? ”
Confucius replied, "Don't be abrupt, don't think about it. ”
Confucius dressed neatly and entered the palace, leaving Zilu alone to sulk. Zilu worries that the notorious slut has tarnished the teacher's reputation, and paces around the courtyard in frustration; But the more anxious he is, the slower time passes. Zilu felt that he had waited for a century before he saw the old teacher walking into the house with radiant steps.
Seeing the teacher's triumphant face, Zilu couldn't help but be angry, and lost his temper at Confucius again. Confucius was speechless, and pointed to the heavens angrily and argued: "When Xiaojun and I talked, we were always hidden behind the bead curtain, and we couldn't see each other clearly. If anything unusual happens to me, let Heaven punish me! ”
Zilu saw that the teacher actually swore to the sky, so he didn't entangle.
Later, Qi Jinggong invited Wei Linggong, Lu Dinggong and Song Jinggong to Taodi for a meeting. When Nanzi got the news, she even begged Wei Linggong to take her to the meeting. Wei Linggong couldn't afford to provoke his beautiful wife, so he had to agree. But Nanzi then made an even more excessive request - to summon Song Chao, the doctor of the Song State, to come over.
It turned out that Nanzi had an old lover named Song Chao before he got married, and the two muttered and entangled for more than a year, until Nanzi got married, and they were forced to separate. Although the two are hundreds of miles apart, their thoughts about each other are getting stronger and stronger.
The affair between Nanzi and the Song Dynasty has long been spread all over the world and has become the talk of the world after tea and dinner. But Wei Linggong didn't care about it, as if his wife's infidelity and bad reputation had nothing to do with him. And Nanzi, who was newly married, was so arrogant that she blatantly asked Wei Linggong to summon the Song Dynasty to have a "tryst" with her! It's as if the Song Dynasty is his husband, but Wei Linggong is an adulterer. How did Wei Linggong react to this? He sent someone to inform the Song Dynasty without complaint.
It turned out that Wei Linggong was already old and decrepit, and he was simply unable to meet the needs of his energetic wife, and Nanzi was young and "open"; If she doesn't cheat, Wei Linggong will feel guilty and feel ashamed of her. At the same time, Wei Linggong hopes to limit his wife's "feelings" to a controllable range, so as not to let his wife's rain and dew be "evenly touched" by more people.
After receiving the news, the Song Dynasty was frightened, and his first reaction was "Wei Hou must be going to trick me into castrating and then killing", so he politely declined the invitation on the grounds of "lying sick in bed". But he thought about it again, why wouldn't Wei Linggong attack him at the alliance? So he took a new, good-looking concubine (a meeting gift for Wei Linggong) to follow Song Jinggong to Taodi.
To the Song Dynasty's surprise and flattery, Wei Linggong behaved very kindly to him, not at all like a husband's attitude towards an adulterer. So the four of them (plus the concubine) spent a few days together in Taodi. At the end of the alliance, Wei Linggong warmly invited the Song Dynasty to Weiguo to "stay for a few days", and the Song Dynasty "happily" accepted the invitation.
As a result, the Song Dynasty lived for two months. During this period, Wei Linggong sent the crown prince to visit the Song Kingdom, and until the prince completed his mission and embarked on the return journey, the Song Dynasty still relied on the emperor and did not leave. When the local patriotic mission marched to the border of the Song Kingdom, some aborigines in the mountains who had nothing to do but were particularly good did clapped their hands and sang loudly: "Since you have satisfied your sows, why haven't you returned our breeding pigs?" ”
Kuai Yu was immediately ashamed of himself, and immediately fled from the kingdom that had caused great shame on the defenders. After entering the post station of the country, Kuai Yu called his most powerful subordinate Xi Yang Su and said to him: "After you go back, you go with me to see Xiaojun, once I look back at you, you will kill the ** who has lost the country's body!" Xi Yangsu didn't dare to disobey the prince's order, so he had to accept it against his will.
After the mission returned to Diqiu, the Song Dynasty had just left unsatisfied. The crown prince reported the envoy to Wei Linggong, and then offered to visit Nanzi.
Wei Linggong was very relieved to see that his son could take the initiative to show favor to his wife, so he took Kuai Yu and Xi Yang to see Nanzi. Nanzi asked Kuai a lot about his parents (Song Jinggong and his wife); Kuai Yu tried his best to control his anger and replied respectfully, but he was still a little absent-minded.
Kuai Yu inadvertently glanced back at Xi Yang Su, which was the signal to do it; But Xi Yangsu was like a mud tire, standing in place expressionlessly, looking at Wei Linggong. Kuai Yu was in a hurry, and turned back one after another to make a quick look at Xi Yang. Nanzi finally noticed the prince's abnormal behavior, she was terrified, jumped up and cried, "The prince wants to kill me!" ”
Wei Linggong immediately noticed the prince's movements. He jumped up and hugged Nanzi in his arms, and without saying a word, he protected her and walked out of the back door quickly, and quickly climbed to the high platform in the palace. The captain of the palace guard didn't know what was going on, so he struck Jin Duo loudly and shouted, "Protect the prince and lady!" The soldiers ran over in an instant, and surrounded the high platform.
Kuaichen did not have any backup plan. At this point, he had to sneak out of the palace gate before Wei Linggong arrested him, and fled to the Song Kingdom without stopping. Wei Linggong didn't expect the prince to be so stupid, he raided Kuai's house and expelled all the members of the princelings.
Kuai Yu lived in the Song Kingdom for a while, and soon fled to the Jin Kingdom, and finally surrendered to Zhao Yingmen.
Regarding the attempted assassination of Nanzi, Kuai Yu complained to people: "Xiyang quickly hurt me, and I wouldn't have fallen to such a situation without him." ”
After hearing this, Xi Yangsu defended: "On the contrary, it was the prince who wanted to kill me." The prince had no way to instruct me to kill Xiaojun. If I don't agree, he'll kill me; If I succeed, he will blame me again. Therefore, I had to superficially agree and actually disobey, so that I could escape. ”
