The autumn air is crisp outside the post house, the sky is clear and clear, a faint breeze comes from the window, and the sound of gurgling water outside the wall comes in with the wind. Along with a few falling red maple leaves, the inside of the house is cool, warm and fragrant.

Servants dressed in the same color and style of clothing filed in and filled the table with dishes and cooking pots in their hands. What a feast! A dish of stir-fried duck gizzards with fungus and a dish of pineapple ribs, which looked particularly delicious.

There is also newly brewed autumn fruit wine, which smells fruity.

Wei Duoyou had already had a stomachache. Before the dishes were all served, he sat down in front of the table, picked up a roast leg of lamb and started to eat it. It looked very indecent. Especially...

He took a bite of the leg of lamb, then took a swig of wine from the flask, his mouth full of oil without wiping it off------

Zifu's father finally couldn't stand it any longer, so he came over and took the leg of lamb from his mouth, and shouted: "Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost? How can this leg of lamb be eaten like this?"

"What's the way to eat it?" Kui Duoyou wiped the corners of his mouth with a puzzled look on his face.

"Look," Zifu's father picked up a short knife on the small plate on the table and began to slice up the leg of lamb. He moved very neatly, and then put the sliced ​​lamb leg meat into the dyeing oven on the table to roast it.

Once roasted, when the mutton began to "sizzle" with oil, he took it out and handed it to Wei Duoyou: "Here."

Duoyou took a bite and was filled with admiration: "Hmm, it's really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's wonderful! I didn't expect that you, Fang Mu, have done a thorough research on eating. I didn't notice it!"

In the post house, he shouted "square wood" one after another. He and his father had not taken it seriously for a long time.

"Aren't you going on a hunger strike this time?" Wei Duoyou teased him again.

"I'm just waiting for Zi Mu to come back. If the peace negotiation fails, I will have to go on a hunger strike."

"Yes, yes, I didn't say it." Wei Duoyou waved his hands, frowned, and looked like he had a headache. He glanced at Zi Fu's father, and suddenly asked curiously: "Fang Mu, let me ask you,

When your second brother offered you the position of king, why didn't you accept it? Is it because the position was unfair?"

Zifu's father glared at him: "Why should I accept it? My second brother killed his uncle and took the throne. He has gained a bad reputation. If I sit on it, wouldn't it be a gain for nothing? Why should he bear the bad reputation?

Do I get the benefits? Therefore, the notoriety and benefits are all his and have nothing to do with me."

Duoyou held a sip of fruit wine in his mouth and almost didn't spit it out. He choked himself and said while coughing: "This--only a square piece of wood like you can think like this. Your brain is really different from others.

ah!"

"Moreover," Zifufu He poured himself a glass of wine and slowly raised it to his lips: "You are right, I am not flexible and I am not suitable to be a king at all. He is more suitable to worship me than me.

He has strategic ambitions and is good at fighting. He is better than me in everything."

As he listened, Wei Duoyou could sense a sense of desolation, and he couldn't bear to talk any more. He had to change the subject: "I wonder how Zi Mu is doing in Qi?"

In Linzi, the new capital of the State of Qi, Zhao Bohu stood in the main hall and was engaged in a fierce debate with the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qi. As soon as he said what he meant, he attracted a fierce debate from the new Marquis of Qi, Lu Bushan.

Backlash: "The King of Zhou did not discern what was wrong and only listened to the words of the Marquis of Ji's family, so he killed my brother and put our Qi State to where? Why should such a foolish and tyrannical king bow to him?"

Zhao Bohu bowed deeply and said: "This matter was all caused by Xian Aihou taking in the useless prince Xi. Although the king said that he was biased, Xian Aihou also made mistakes. What's more, the king already regretted it, so he sent his ministers not to do it.

Traveled thousands of miles to comfort me."

Shangqing Gao Xumi came out to retort: ​​"Zhao Gong said that the emperor has regrets. But if he has regrets, why do he favor the daughter of the Marquis of Ji and imprison the queen? It is obviously to depose the queen and the prince and support the Ji family.

His son ascends to power. If this is the case, how can our country of Qi sit back and wait for death?"

As soon as he said this, the whole hall was indignant. Zhao Bohu took his time and argued: "Did the Prime Minister get the news last month? The king has already issued an edict in front of the civil and military officials of the court, saying, 'The Great Zhou Dynasty will never be abolished'

Hou'. My queen is a virtuous and virtuous queen who has always advocated a gentle approach to the East China Sea. She wanted to betroth Princess Bo Ji to the heir of Qi State before, but she encountered civil strife and could not make the agreement. If the king is interested, I can mediate between them and wait for the princess to come of age.

We will still complete this engagement."

Qi Hou Lu Bushan's face became much calmer, he cleared his throat and said: "If the queen and the prince are safe, I think there is room for change in this matter." If his brother's death was not too tragic and ugly, he did not want to fall into the trap of a traitor.

name.

"No," a young man jumped out of the queue and shouted sternly: "The late prince died so tragically, the Zhou royal family must give an explanation and not be so frivolous. Our country of Qi is a feudal state, how can we accept this injustice without knowing it?"

?”

Zhao Bohu took a look and recognized him as the former prince of Qi Aihou. Now he can only be called the young master. He ran back from Laidi at some time. Then he bowed deeply and said, "Young master is eager to avenge his father. It is understandable."

, but no matter how you say it, the king is the common ruler of the world. He has been on the throne for nearly five years, and the status of monarch and ministers has been determined. When you mention Taigong, don’t you know that Taigong has left a message to his descendants, asking you to vassal the East China Sea for the Zhou royal family from generation to generation?

Have you forgotten, Master?"

His eyes swept across the faces of the Marquis of Qi and the ministers one by one. Knowing that they were already trying to waver, he struck while the iron was hot: "Although the Eighth Division of Chengzhou has suffered a new defeat, after all, the main force is still there. If we really want to force it,

We can definitely fight to the death in this corner. Even if your Qi State has an alliance with the Song State, how can you be sure of victory?"

Another Shangqing, Guoshi, jumped out: "Even if we can't attack Luoyi, we can still turn to the west and attack Ji State to avenge our ancestors."

"Yes, yes, destroy the Ji Kingdom!" Everyone raised their arms and shouted loudly, even Lu Bushan's eyes lit up.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhao Bohu strangely. When did the normally dignified Duke of the State turn into a madman? Lu Bushan frowned and asked, "Why is Duke Zhao laughing?"

Could it be that all the monarchs and ministers of our Qi State are behaving absurdly?"

Zhao Bohu stopped his smile and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I am a country with a great smile, but no one can see where the biggest worry in the country comes from?"

"Oh?" Lu Bushan leaned forward, supported the case and asked, "I would like to hear the details."

"Your Majesty, please don't forget how your title came about. First, Hu Gong Lu Jing was appointed by the emperor and was a legitimate Marquis of Qi. Now he and his son are both dead, but after all, Hu Gong and his disciples are still there, even if they fled to other countries

, and can return at any time. I dare to guarantee that as soon as the Qi army leaves Linzi, there will be chaos in the rear, and it is hard to say who will take the throne."

Lu Bushan stood up and took a breath of cold air, right? This was a hidden worry in his heart, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Zhao Bohu in public.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Bohu's mouth: "For the present plan, for the sake of Qi State and the king, we should first remove the hidden worries in the country before we can slow down other things. What do you think?"

At the beginning of November, Zhao Bohu, who had achieved great success in Qi State, hurried to Shangqiu without stopping and brought Song Ligong a silk letter written by Qi Xianhou Lu Bushan.

Outside the main hall, Zi Fu Fu He's upper body was bare, with a long sword on his waist placed in front of his knees, with his hair disheveled and barefoot kneeling in front of the steps. When Duke Li of Song Dynasty did not accept the king's envoy's request, he immediately committed suicide and begged for death. After fifty years away from him,

A few steps away, Kui Duoyou was sitting on the jade-white railing, chewing dates leisurely and spitting out the date cores. His unruly appearance made anyone who walked by him take a second look, heartbroken.

Where did this barbarian boy come from?

In the main hall, Song Ligong angrily threw the letter from the Marquis of Qi under the case, and roared: "You are in vain to be the king of a country if you go back on your word!"

Zhao Bohu bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is not the Marquis of Qi's fault for this. He was not in the right position, and his intentions are difficult to decide. Now that the emperor has not only issued an imperial edict to confirm his throne, but also intends to continue the marriage, is there any reason why it cannot be done?

What's more, Hu Gong and his disciples were scattered abroad. If the Qi army rushes out to fight, Linzi will definitely undergo changes. This principle is applicable to all countries."

After saying that, he specifically raised his eyes and glanced at Song Ligong. Zi Yusi understood that he was using the affairs of Qi State to beat himself up! It was also an unfair position, and there was also a strong competitor for the throne, and that person was also

Standing on the side of the Zhou royal family, they are kneeling outside to fight to the death! What else can be said? The Qi State has given up, and I am just playing the drum, so why not retreat?

Although Zi Yusi was resolute and resolute, he was also able to know how to advance and retreat, and was kind and forbearing. He immediately said with a friendly face: "In this case, how can I insist on going my own way? From now on, the matter of the expedition will not be mentioned again. How can I be successful in admonishing my master, Master Fu?"

Confer the land of Kong as a fief for his descendants to enjoy for generations to come."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Bohu shouted.

After returning to the palace after the end of the dynasty, Rong Yi led the angry-looking Duke Li of Song into a side room. One person inside had been sitting and waiting for a long time. It was Gao Xumi, the high minister of Qi.

"What? Is the Marquis of Qi really planning to let it go?" As soon as the ceremony was over, Zi Yusi asked straight to the point.

Gao Xumi looked apologetic: "I also know that I can't do this to the Song Dynasty, so I specially sent ministers to apologize. In fact, there were more than ten disciples of Hu Hou. Although the prince died, the other disciples fled.

It is difficult to trace the situation in various places for the time being. In recent days, rumors have been spreading in the country, and there are signs of instability. At this time, it is really impossible to send out an expedition!"

"Rumors are spreading? What's going on?" Zi Yusi asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, I know something about this matter." Rongyi on the side interjected: "It is probably said that the Marquis of Qi committed regicide to seize the throne. He is cruel and unkind, and will definitely kill the followers of the leading Aihou and Huhou.

They killed them all. This made people panic for a while, and some nobles and courtiers ran away in fear of disaster."

"It is true." Gao Xumi was worried: "When I came, the prince of Xian Aihou had already fled, but was stopped by the officials. Now he has been imprisoned and taken into custody. He will probably be expelled from the Lu family temple at least."
