Chapter 690: Qi Jinggong's Death (2)

Qi Jinggong is lustful, and his entourage is greedy; Their arrival caused great trouble to the locals, and even brought death and calamity.

Qi Jinggong is old and promiscuous, and in his twilight years, he began to miss the days when he fooled around with the little statue Guliang Qiu. Recalling that "good time", he felt emotional, sour in his heart, and tears rippled, and suddenly wanted to find a few boys to help him get rid of the "lovesickness" that had accumulated for a long time.

The retinue was sent out in search of prey, and they were deceived by two good-looking, innocent, and kind-hearted boys. The third one was more vigilant and ran home directly from the entanglement. The villains didn't want to lose the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service, so they chased after them. Their misdeeds caused outrage, and as a result, a fierce clash broke out between the locals and the officials and bandits, killing and wounding each other. The locals gathered more and more, and the fighting became more and more ferocious, and the villains had to leave behind a few corpses and flee in confusion.

Qi Jinggong was furious and ordered the village to be leveled. Yan Ying's son, Yan Yu, said: "Those people are simple mountain people, not enemies of the prince. If they sit back and watch the robbers rob and dare not resist, how will the prince use those cowards to defend against foreign enemies? The prince's attendants swaggered and plundered, so much so that they were wrathed. Therefore, the sin is not in the mountain people, so it is better to ask the prince to forgive the mountain people. ”

Qi Jinggong was also too lazy to do much, so he ordered the locals to hand over a few "main culprits", and later sent them to the seaside salt works to work as coolies; And so it went.

But Qi Jinggong did not do anything heinous to the boys in the end. When the ministers brought the beautifully dressed boys over, Qi Jinggong just asked them to sit beside him and listen to his own story.

The ministers looked at each other and said, "Is it just so that they can listen to the story?" An old eunuch who had served Qi Jinggong for a long time said, "Yes, what do you think the prince is going to do? ”

Qi Jinggong stayed with them for a few days, and the parents who were looking for their children also came to the door one after another. Qi Jinggong sent the children out unscathed and gave them a lot of possessions.

Qi Jinggong is very tall, and he has maintained the habit of exercising for two hours a day for many years, so his physique has always been very strong. After the stroke, he lost the ability to move freely, and combined with overeating, he lost half of his weight in a short period of time. Today's Qi Jinggong is holding a pig's head, his eyes are protruding, the bags under his eyes are about to fall off, and he can't even say a complete sentence. He was bloated, pot-bellied, and slow, and he had to stop and pour out his breath with every step.

The people around him knew that Qi Jinggong's life was not long in coming, so they began to prepare for him.

On September 24, the fifth year of Lu Aigong, Qi Jinggong's life came to an end, he stared at the unwilling drum eyes and swallowed his last breath, but the disasters he brought to people still did not stop.

The craftsmen who made the coffin had not seen Qi Jinggong for a long time, and they did not know his weight at the time of his death, so they still estimated the weight of the body according to their previous impressions, and then made the coffin.

The ministers couldn't help but look at each other, shake their heads and sigh in the face of this "slim-shaped" coffin, but the procedure for holding the funeral has been announced, and not a single word can be changed, and it is too late to make a suitable coffin.

The ministers had to take matters into their own hands, reluctantly stuffing Qi Jinggong's body into the coffin, praying that everything was safe and that no accidents would happen.

However, the accident did happen. A few days later, the coffin was carried out according to the funeral plan and prepared to be transported back to Linzi City. Just as a few ministers were carrying the coffin outside, the coffin suddenly made a loud "bang", and Qi Jinggong's rotting corpse, which had already shown a heavy giant view, fell to the ground with the coffin floor, the corpse liquid splashed, the stench was stinking, and everyone present vomited.

This incident was characterized as "maliciously destroying the supreme dignity of the ancestors", and all the craftsmen and ministers involved in the incident were executed.

Qi Jinggong's funeral was extremely extravagant, his coffin was in the shape of the Son of Heaven, and there were countless rare treasures accompanying the funeral. The most shocking thing was his large martyrdom pit, where 600 horses were killed and buried, and 150 chariots were carried. You must know that it was only twenty-five years after the restoration of the country that the country developed a military strength of 300 chariots, and before the Qi State was fought, he destroyed half of the chariots of the Wei Guo at that time.

This is not over, the bad things left by Qi Jinggong are one after another, he casually says nonsense, and the doctors are going to rack their brains to complete the orders he gave during his lifetime.

The most troublesome thing is his decree. It turned out that Qi Jinggong married his wife in Yan Kingdom, and his wife gave birth to the prince, but the prince died before he reached adulthood, and he has not set up an heir since then.

Qin Jinggong married the princess of Yue in his later years, and he gave birth to a son. Qin Jinggong is so doting on his youngest son that this fierce god in the world is willing to lean down and ride a cow for his toddler son (because Gongzi Tu is also known as "An Ruzi", so this is the origin of "bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow"), and once even knocked out a big tooth. Children don't know the pain of adults, and they keep clapping their hands and laughing; The courtiers were so frightened that they fell to their knees and approached on their knees, but Qi Jinggong smiled at his son while wiping the blood.

The doctors were afraid that Qi Jinggong would set up that little man as the crown prince on a whim (the Qi Hou family had a criminal record, and Qi Linggong had done the stupid thing of appointing a weak son as his heir), so they persuaded him to immediately determine the heir. But Qi Jinggong just "acted spontaneously", but he set up Gongzi, in order to add insurance, he appointed Shangqing Gao Zhang and Guoxia as his guardians.

When Qi Jinggong died, the prince was still a child who liked to hide and seek and didn't know what power was. When he sat on the throne of the monarch and accepted the worship of the princes and doctors, he looked at the full hall of uncles, uncles and grandfathers, and suddenly felt bored, and made a lot of noise to go back to play. The ministers looked at each other with a deep headache.

According to Qi Jinggong's last words, the sons of the group were moved to Lae City under house arrest after attending the condolence ceremony. In the winter and October, the sons broke through the defense line of the watchers and fled in all directions; Among them, Gongzi Jia, Gongzi Ju, and Gongzi Qian ran to Weiguo, and Gongzi and Gongzi Yangsheng Benlu. The scene of the group of sons running away was bleak and touching, and the people of Lairen touched the scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Although the group of sons were born in a princely family, their lives are like cattle and horses; Yesterday he was a doctor, but he lost even the place where he stood overnight! It's really that Jing Gong died and couldn't be buried, and the affairs of the three armies were not conspired with! Where will you be, O sons of the Mountains? ”

Qi Jinggong gave many important positions to his sons during his lifetime; But later, in order to prevent the ignorant little guy from being murdered by his brothers, he even expelled his sons who held important positions, and took back power and relinquished it to the major clans. Qi Jinggong's actions greatly weakened the power of the Gong clan, putting the lonely young son under the control of the wolf-like doctors; His actions were tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall and the digging of a huge grave for the demise of the Jiang regime.

During his lifetime, Qi Jinggong deliberately strengthened the status of Gao and Guo, and restored the glory of the two major families. This approach is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it strengthens the power of the clan, and on the other hand, it destroys the two and An Ruzi.
