Lu Buchen seemed to have been prepared for it, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have a cousin with Ji Xi. When he came to Qi, I took him in without any doubt. Later I heard that Hao Jing was in the city.

I was about to question him about the matter, but unexpectedly Ji Xi found out the news first and ran away. Now, I don't know where he is? How can I make contact with him? "

It's obviously nonsense! Ji Xie squeezed the corner of the table tightly, his knuckles turned white from the excessive force. He almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Really? That Qi Hou really used his heart-"

- Good - Bitter!"

Marquis Ji understood, waved his hand, and the warriors in front of the palace rushed forward, took down Lu Buchen, and shouted angrily: "The king has an order, Lu Buchen protects the rebellious prince Xi, and he is guilty of the same crime, so he will be temporarily detained."

Ji Xie was extremely angry and said to the Central Plains princes who were ready to make a move: "If you want to be guilty of the same crime as Lu Buchen, just beg for mercy!"

Seeing that Qi Hou was dragged down before he could say a word, the princes of the Central Plains were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed. Ji Xie looked at them like this, and then he felt a little relieved. His stern eyes turned Qi Xie

Everyone swept through them one by one and landed on Mr. Song Li's body, Yu Si.

"Is Song Gong doing well all the time?" King Zhou Yi asked coldly.

Zi Yusi changed his duties and came out, knelt down and said: "Thanks to the great blessing of the king, I have always been well. I have not seen you for many years, and the king's demeanor remains the same, which makes me feel very relieved. By the king's order, I have been awarded the title of Duke of Song Dynasty. I am deeply moved by it.

From the heart.”

This remark has two meanings. The first is nostalgia. When Ji Xie was a prince, he studied in a palace school. In addition to the children of the royal family, princes from all over the country also sent their children to study with him. Therefore, Zi Yusi and he were somewhat classmates.

Friendship. The second is more powerful. The biggest crime of Zi Yu Si was to kill his uncle and seize the throne. But since the King of Zhou has recognized him as the official Duke of Song, this one can no longer be pursued.

King Zhou Yi felt that he had hit a soft nail. He snorted, glanced at Jihou and said: "I heard that Aiqing married a new wife, but she was so tired that Jihou's beloved daughter committed suicide. How do you explain this?"

"Your Majesty," Zikunsi kowtowed again: "When I was a young master, I asked Marquis Ji to marry me, but Jihou did not agree. After I ascended the throne, there was no one in charge of the Song Palace, so I asked Marquis Qi to marry me.

I wanted to marry the princess as my wife. But for some reason, Prince Ji also sent his sister to Shangqiu that day. I didn’t mean to embarrass Princess Shaojiang, but I could only have one legitimate wife! I had to offer to accept her as my wife, but there was nothing I could do.

Princess Shaojiang was very angry and left angrily. I really didn’t know that she would hang herself to death. Thinking about it, I really feel guilty. After all, she died because of me. It’s a waste of my life. What a pity and pain!”

"You're talking nonsense!" Marquis Ji also came out and pointed at Song Ligong and scolded him: "You clearly sent someone to tell me after you came to the throne that you would like to marry Shao Jiang as your wife. Besides, the betrothal gifts you proposed to marry back then are still in Ji Palace! How could this be possible?

Don’t count?”

"There is no such thing!" Zi Yusi looked shocked: "At that time, I clearly wanted to marry Ji Hou's legitimate daughter. Now that I have become the Duke of Song Dynasty, how can I marry a concubine as my wife? No.

That’s the truth!”

"You------you------" Ji Hou was so angry that he was speechless while pointing at him. Ji Xie was a little embarrassed. Everyone knew that Ji Hou only had one legitimate daughter, who is now in Qiu

Liaogong's favorite concubine Ji Jiang. He really didn't know that there was such a thing. In this way, he would not be able to embarrass Song Ligong, lest others say he was embarrassed.

Love rival. It’s important to end this matter quickly!

"Okay!" Ji Xie raised his sleeves and stopped him: "Since this matter is your private property, it is inconvenient to argue openly in the court. Ji Hou's loss of his beloved daughter has nothing to do with you, the Song Dynasty. In any case,

Mr. Song, you have to show an attitude!"

Knowing that he had generally passed the test, Zifusi breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed deeply and said, "No! I am also heartbroken that Princess Shaojiang died young. I am willing to cede the two cities of Ji Guo, Gao and Fang, to express my apology."

As soon as these words came out, the princes present nodded slightly, feeling that the matter had come to this, and the Song State was very sincere in agreeing to cut off the two cities. What's more, Shaojiang's death was ultimately caused by Ji Hou himself who rushed to marry this family.

.They have already given in so far, what are you waiting for?

Jihou said nothing with a livid face. Luhou, Chenhou, Caihou, etc. had already come up to comfort him. The main idea was that people cannot be resurrected after death. Now that Song Gong is willing to give in, it is not easy for the two countries to form enmity.

We both want to hang out in the Central Plains, so it is better to reconcile. You said something to me, which made Ji Hou feel dizzy. Looking at King Zhou Yi's look like it had nothing to do with him, he understood that the two kings of Song and Qi were stewed together.

This is an unrealistic plan, so we have to do it one at a time.

"That's all!" Ji Hou waved his sleeves impatiently: "Then let's do it!"

"Young master, I heard that there was a heated debate in the court today, why did you say nothing but why?" In the study room of the East Palace, Ji Hu asked curiously with his eyes wide open. According to his understanding, such a big matter is his master's identity.

As a public servant, you must express your opinion.

"Not only me, but also Duke Zhou didn't say a word?" Zhao Bohu blew the tea leaves in the tea bowl in his hand, and his eyes reflected the anxiety and panic in Zhou Gongding's eyes when the Marquis of Qi was dragged down. He was still

What a calm person! In such a big scene, I was stunned and silent.

Although Ji Hu is only nine years old, he has been at the center of a power struggle for a long time and is still somewhat politically sensitive: "What? Is there something fishy here?"

"Now in the court, Duke Zhou is obviously on the side of Qi State and Prince Xi, Marquis Ji! Of course it is for the sake of his daughter and grandson. There is no guarantee that he will not deal with the Queen and the Crown Prince in the future, trying to seize the throne and the throne.

.The two sides are fighting, but for the Queen and His Royal Highness, you are not so bad." After saying that, Zhao Bohu smiled bitterly. Once upon a time, he had also started to think about power? Could it be that the situation really dictated it?

"But, didn't the queen mother also promise sister Boji to Prince Qi? If the Marquis of Qi is really dealt with, what will happen to the marriage?" Thinking of his sister Boji, Ji Hu couldn't help but asked with concern.

"This marriage is originally to appease the Marquis of Qi. It would be a good thing if we can really force Qi to hand over Prince Xi this time. This person has repeatedly planned things that are detrimental to His Highness the Crown Prince. If we can use the power of Marquis Ji to get rid of him, why bother?

Why not? It's just that if these two parties are fighting now, one of them will be injured, so we'd better avoid it."

"So, Young Master asked for orders to go to Fengyi to repair the ancestral temple in preparation for the big ceremony next month?" Although Haojing is the royal capital, to hold a large-scale ceremony, you still have to go to Fengyi, which is the birthplace of the ancestors of the Zhou people.

.The King of Zhou Yi is going to lead the princes from all over the world to hold a grand ceremony this time, so naturally he wants people to stand in front of him.

Zhao Bohu smiled slightly: "It's not me, but I'm going with His Royal Highness, how about it?"

"That's great!" Ji Hu jumped up happily

: "Staying in the East Palace all day makes me almost bored to death!"

Fengyi in late autumn is a bleak scene. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has passed. The husbands and wives left their wives, children and fields behind, and gathered in the construction sites in the suburbs to work. This is a major national image project. On the winter solstice, the Emperor of Zhou will lead the princes to

Let’s worship our ancestors together.

With the prince in charge and Zhao Bohu personally commanding, in less than a month, the work chants disappeared, and a majestic high platform stood on the outskirts of Fengyi. Colorful flags were fluttering on the platform, and white marble railings set off the bluestone steps. This scene was amazing.

His heart was shaken, and he was suddenly filled with heroic spirit.

After the project was completed, according to etiquette, the prince should return to Haojing and solemnly invite King Zhou Yi to the ceremony. After Ji Hu reluctantly said goodbye to Zhao Bohu, he embarked on the road back to the capital alone. In fact, Fenghao and Fenghao are two places.

Beijing is not too far away. If you just ride your horse and whip your whip, you will arrive in a day and a half. But Ji Hugui is the prince, so he must move carefully. The horse pulling the cart bumped and bumped, and he walked for three days.

Duocai saw the city walls of Haojing.

The city was still a familiar one, but for some reason, a strange atmosphere enveloped the city everywhere. Ji Hu lifted the car curtain and found that both the generals guarding the city and the ordinary people were looking away, as if

They were afraid of meeting his eyes. But once their carriages and horses moved forward, they whispered and pointed behind them. Occasionally, one or two voices came into their ears, which was nothing more than "The king is also for the prince——"

--" Yun Yun.

Ji Hu put down the curtain and thought to himself: What on earth is going on?

Entering the palace, the atmosphere could not be described with just the word "weird". He just asked: "Why is the bronze cauldron in front of the palace missing?" The servants looked as if they had seen a ghost.

With a look of horror, he lay on the ground shivering, almost shaking his jaw.

Something big must have happened! Ji Hu suppressed his doubts and went to the main hall to see King Zhou Yi. Unexpectedly, he was rejected. The general guarding the imperial palace guiltily avoided the prince's questioning eyes and said, "Your Highness,

The king is not feeling well. He has been away from court and seeing no one in recent days. Please go to the middle palace to see the queen first!"

After saying that, he bowed and quickly turned around and walked away, as if he was afraid that Ji Hu would ask him a second question.

In the queen's palace, Ji Hu successfully met with his mother. Fanji looked as usual and asked his son cordially how his errand in Fengyi was going, but he was getting used to it, and Ji Hu felt that he had calmed down a little.

Ji Hu was about to ask questions when suddenly his chamberlain Jia came to deliver a message: "Your Majesty summons your empress to come and attend to your illness!"

"Mother, what disease does your father have? The child also wants to visit and show his filial piety!"

Fan Ji's eyes suddenly became suspicious, as if she had something to say that was hard to say. She glanced at Naoyang Si and said, "It's rare for the prince to come back. Ji Sang will go with me. You can stay and talk to the prince."

!”

As a queen, there are some words and things that are not worthy of publicity and cannot be spoken out, so she can only entrust trustworthy people around her to say them. So, what does Ji Hu not understand? She could only send her mother off respectfully, turned around and asked, "Aunt Si,

What happened in the palace? Why is everyone so mysterious?"
