Chapter 691: Gongzi Yangsheng seizes the throne (1)
It turns out that Gao Zhang and Guo Xia are not people with good tempers and memories: they have forgotten how their ancestors lost the battle against Cui Zhu, and how Erhui was killed by the Chen family. And the two will become the next pair of protagonists in the drama of historical reincarnation.
Gao and Guo thought that as long as they drove the sons far away, there would be no chaos in the office, but they didn't expect that the initiator was around.
Chen Qi is now the richest person in the whole Qi country. His wealth lay not in the vastness of his fiefdoms, nor in the richness of his mansions and treasures (on the contrary, his dwellings were quaint and old, and his clothes were unpretentious), but in the fact that the population under his rule was the largest in all Qi countries, large enough to rival the public offices.
Before the group of sons lost power, Chen Qi and Gongzi Yangsheng had always been very close in the past, and both of them took a fancy to what the other could use for themselves; Yangsheng hopes to reach the top with the help of Chen Qi's power, and Chen Qi wants to grab greater benefits through the other party. Qi Jinggong's expulsion of Yang Sheng did not make Chen Qi angry; On the contrary, he was glad that Qi Jinggong had eliminated the other competitors for Yang Sheng.
Since Gao and Guo had taken on the heavy responsibility of defending An Ruzi, they watched vigilantly like falcons guarding chicks, and these two persecuted doctors would make malicious speculations about each doctor's every move. Since the hostility of the two to the doctors is abnormal, the reaction of the doctors to the two is also very strong. This gave Chen Qi the opportunity to use his strength to expel Erqing.
Chen Qi was born with a non-smiling and complacent appearance, he was gentle and polite, and his emotional intelligence was extremely high, and strangers could have a sense of closeness and trust in him by chatting with him casually, thus losing vigilance and vigilance against him. Among the doctors in the Qi State Office, Chen Qi is the most popular one, and almost everyone likes to associate with him.
After An Ruzi ascended the throne, Chen Qi began to curry favor with Gao and Guolai. During that time, he became the personal chauffeur of Gao and Guo, and personally drove the Xuan car to transport Gao and Guo up and down every day. The most common topic they talked about on the road was about the new king and the doctors. Gao and Guo wanted to get some information from Chen Qi's mouth, so Chen Qi took the opportunity to pass on the false information to the two.
One day, on the way to the court, Chen Qi said: "Bao Mu, Dong Guoshu and other doctors have always gathered together recently to study what bad things are, and later I found out that the doctors had a huge dissatisfaction with the two of them and wanted to disobey their orders. The two of them knew that those people were arrogant and arrogant guys, and they were jealous and worried when they saw the two of them become the ministers of Tuogu. They said: 'The dictatorship of the high and the state will certainly be detrimental to us.' So why don't we preemptively expel them? I'm so worried about both of you, and I'm worried about myself! I advise you two to plan ahead. It is better to take countermeasures than to strike first, to hate them, and to wipe them out. β
When he arrived at Chaoshang, Gao Zhang wanted him to sit down by begging him, but he pretended to have scruples and lowered his voice and said, "I really want to, but I can't!" If those tigers and wolves see me at the Master's side, I will die forever! Master, let me go back to my place. β
After the dispersal of the dynasty that day, Gao Zhang invited Guoxia and Yan Yuan to his mansion to discuss a solution, and Guoxia proposed to take the lead in attacking, while Yan Yuan had a different opinion from him.
Yan said: "The Chen family has been playing the role of sowing discord and taking advantage of the fire for several generations. Cui Zhu, Qingfeng, Erhui and others had very close contacts with the Chen family, and in the end they were all killed by the Chen family using various means; Can the two of you still trust him now? The two nobles are the ministers and the most powerful ministers, no matter who sits on the throne. But Chen is different, he can get huge illegal benefits from the change of monarchy, so he provokes the relationship between the two doctors and the doctors. The doctors are not the enemies of the two, and I advise the two to communicate more with the Bao family and the Dongguo family. After appeasing the two families, the rest of the families were not worried. β
Gao Zhang felt that Yan Yu's words were very reasonable, but he refused to put down his shelf and take the initiative to talk to Bao Mu and Dong Guo Shu, so he asked Yan Yu to invite Bao Mu and Dong Guo Shu to his house as guests on his behalf, but this kind act made the two angry.
It turned out that Chen Qi also slandered the two of them many times in front of the doctors. He said, "Those two people are going to be in trouble soon!" They trust themselves to be the lonely doctor, and they will be detrimental to you. They once said to me, 'The root cause of the country's instability is that there are too many ministers.' Look at the old guys going crazy! Those who don't know think they are all princes of Qi State! The ministers are not removed, and the princes are uncertain. Therefore, they must be cut down and rooted, so that the office can remain stable. ββ
Chen Qi's words made everyone panic. Chen Qi said: "I heard that the plan has been formulated! Soon, we will be able to take action. You can't hesitate any longer, let's start in advance! β
Not long after saying this, Bao Mu and Dong Guoshu received an invitation from the Gao family - that unlucky guy actually confirmed Chen Qi's rumors with his own practical actions. Bao and Dongguo were frightened, and hurriedly asked Chen Qi for help, Chen Qi took the opportunity to exclaim: "You two must not be fooled!" Either you start an incident or go into exile, you must not fall into the net! β
Bao and Dongguo secretly invited several colleagues to plan a coup d'Γ©tat, and people expressed their desire to start a war with Gao and Guo. As a result, Chen, Bao, Dongguo and Zhu Dafu formed an anti-Gao and Guoguo alliance. But Gao and Guo were still kept in the dark, and Gao Zhang was still preparing methodically for the upcoming banquet.
On June 23, the sixth year of the reign of Lu Ai (BC489), all the doctors led their clans to occupy the palace; Bao Mu violently broke into An Ruzi's bedroom, and said righteously: "Gao and the country have a heart of disobedience, which will be unfavorable to the prince. I specially rushed to escort the car, please don't worry about safety, everything is in the hands of the minister! β
Of course, An Ruzi didn't believe Bao Mu's lies, he just wanted to lose his temper, but Fu Ji suddenly reached out and pulled his son into his arms, covered his mouth and bowed to Bao Mu and said, "The doctors are bothered!" β
Gao and Guo were in a hurry when they heard the news, and the two were unprepared, and they were worried that Xinjun's personal injury would be harmed, so they hurried over with only a few clan armors.
A scuffle soon broke out between the two hostile sides outside the palace, and Chen Qi took the opportunity to incite the hostility of the people to Gao and Guo all over the city, portraying Erqing as a villain who tried to destroy the major families and changed the Qi State into an authoritarian state with two people holding power; He also said that in a country where the two dictatorships are, everyone will become their slaves. He finally called on the people of the country to follow him to defeat Gao and Guo for the sake of freedom and wealth, and promised that he would give a part of the land and property of the second secretary to the meritorious service.
As mentioned earlier, the Chen family has gathered a very high reputation in the Qi State, but the second secretary is regarded as the culprit of helping Jing Gong to commit abuse. The Chinese people, who had suffered countless hardships, hoped that Chen Qi would save them, but the Chinese people, who did not know the truth, rushed into the streets from all directions with weapons in hand, helping the cunning and murderous careerist and future dictator to attack the old man who was originally loyal to the office.
Gao and Guo's teams were immediately dispersed, and the two took care of each other and exited the south gate. Gao Zhang and Yan Yu fled to the state of Lu, and Guo Xia fled to the state of Ju; Soon, Bing Yizi, the second secretary's henchman, also fled to the state of Lu.
