Spring and Autumn I Am King

"Tsk, this old jackal, Fan Yang, is really sinister and sinister. On the one hand, he wants to assist the Marquis of Jin to fight for the hegemony of the state of Qi, and on the other hand, he secretly communicates with me. △↗, Huang Kao had good contacts with him when he was alive. He also told me that I must learn more from Fan Bo, and I will know today that what I said is true."

In the Chen family mansion in Linzi, Qi Qing Chen Qi, who was nearly fifty years old, finished reading the brochure, sneered, and put it aside.

The ancestor of the Chen clan was Duke Wan of the Chen country. After he fled to the state of Qi due to civil strife, he served as Duke Huan of Qi's doctor Gongzheng. This clan remained unknown for the next hundred years.

It was not until fifty years ago that the Chen family rose quietly in the Cui and Qing Rebellion. After the development of Chen Wenzi, Chen Huanzi, Chen Wuzi, and Chen Qi's three generations and four patriarchs, they finally squeezed into the ranks of the Qing family. Although his status is still inferior to that of the second-ranking ministers of the country and high school, he can only be tied with the Bao clan, but now he seems to have mastered the politics of Gaotang and Donglai in the state of Qi, with hundreds of vehicles and over 10,000 soldiers.

When Chen Qi became the head of the family, the Chen family focused on the benefits of fish, salt, and wood, and adopted the method of loaning out big buckets and taking in small buckets to win the hearts of the people.

He added: "However, Fan Yang is good at making use of Yang Conspiracy, although Yu knows that he is using us, but I am the initiator of this hegemony, and this matter is extremely beneficial to our future plans, so I have to do it. By the way, the master of Guoxia and Lu has triumphed, and your Majesty held a drinking ceremony for him at the temple, can you go to watch the ceremony?"

Waiting beside him was a handsome young man with a weak crown, it was his son Chen Heng (Tian Chang).

Chen Heng was about the same age as Zhao Wuxi, and after hearing this, he lowered his head and replied: "The boy is gone, the scene is extremely lively. Your Majesty, Gao Zhang, and Yan Zi all went to the temple to watch the three armies disarm and offer their prisoners. Your Honor."

Chen Qi said: "Yan Pingzhong is smart and can see my Chen's intention to incite the emperor to fight for hegemony. This time he said something for the country's summer and let this child replace me as the commander of Lu, which is self-evident. Fortunately, Yan Zi is getting old. Guo Xia has little wisdom but no far-sightedness, and Gao Zhang is also a mediocre person. Your Majesty is a strange person, who will understand for a while and be confused for a while. Throw it away. Otherwise. In this gigantic state of Qi, where can I have a foothold for the Chen Clan?"

He showed a sneer: "What's more, although Guoxia has become the commander of Falu, he has no prestige in the army. Those military officers are all elite soldiers trained by Sima Rangju, a member of my Chen clan. The clan struggled to borrow money. Although Sima Rangju died, the Chen clan’s small branch field was still there, and the other two warriors, Gongsun Jie and Guyezi, had pledged their allegiance to the Chen clan. The more they did, the greater the Chen clan. The stronger the power in the army!"

Chen Heng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said in Chen Qi's ear: "These three people seem to be getting more and more arrogant. The day before yesterday's drinking ceremony, Yan Zi walked by, but the third son did not get up and return the salute! Zhang was angry, but Yan Zi smiled and persuaded the emperor to say. In this campaign, the three soldiers made great achievements in ambush, defeating Ji and Yanghu. Therefore, today, on the stage of the road in the palace, a special banquet was held for the three soldiers. Yan Zi also went to sit with him."

"Oh, what else?"

Chen Qi couldn't help frowning, feeling that this was not quite Yan Ying's style. In the Cui Clan Rebellion, he was able to openly worship the murdered Duke Zhuang of Qi with Cui Chu's sharp sword; When he was on the mission to Chu State, he was still able to be neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the arrogant and surly King Ling of Chu, and he would not disgrace his mission.

Now, why would he bow his head to three men?

After a while, Chen Qicai secretly thought that something was wrong, slapped the table a few times, and stood up.

"My son, go to the palace quickly! Yanzi's actions are definitely not good intentions. Although he is very old, he does not need to use a sword to kill people, just use that three-inch incorrupt tongue!"

...

The Palace of Qi State is located in the southwest corner of Linzi City. It is embedded in the big city in the form of a small city.

Qi is rich and prosperous, and the monarchs of the Qi Kingdom liked beautiful palaces, especially building high platforms. In the time of Duke Huan of Qi, there were Wutai, Huantai, and Trentai. When Qihou Chujiu (Jinggong of Qi), he built the "Road Sleeping Terrace", which did not rest for three years. Before the interest, it was also called "Zou Zhichangtu".

"If you don't have high-level terraces and beautiful palaces, then the group will not be scattered."

This is the reason why Qihou Chujiu and his traitorous courtiers Liang Qiuju and others built their palaces. In the words of later generations, it was to use the large-scale infrastructure construction of the palaces to stimulate economic consumption and material flow in Linzi.

And Yan Ying, who has always advocated incorruptibility, naturally scoffed at this.

At this moment, Qihou Chujiu in a high crown and fur coat is climbing the platform of the road sleeping. This tall terrace has hundreds of stairs. Qihou is also an old man in his 60s. Some time ago, he traveled thousands of miles to the Weiguo to preside over the alliance meeting. Can't climb up.

So Marquis Qi sat down on the steps halfway to rest under the service of the temple people, turned his head to look at the high platform that he had only climbed halfway through, he was angry and complained, "Why did the craftsmen build such a high platform, so exhausting the few people? also!"

Yan Ying, who was short in stature and had drooping white hair, was also panting. He leaned on a dove stick and sat beside Qi Hou with the help of a vertical man, rubbing his legs.

Hearing Qi Hou's complaint, Yan Ying smiled and said, "Isn't this the order of your Majesty? Your Majesty wants to save effort and doesn't want to build such a high terrace, why can you blame the craftsmen? In ancient times, holy kings built palaces. It is enough to be able to facilitate life, not to pursue luxury, so it can save energy. When the Xiahou clan declined, Xia Jie was rebellious and built a beautiful jade room; when the Yin and Shang Dynasty declined, Emperor Xin built Qing Palace and Lingtai. Therefore The craftsmen of Xia Jie, Shang and Zhou built the platform, and if they built it low and low, they would be guilty, but if they built it tall, they would be rewarded."

"Now, Your Majesty, you have gone too far, you are guilty of building low, and you will be held accountable for building high, even more than Jie Zhou! The people have exhausted their strength, but they are still not immune from sin. I, Yan Ying, fear that if this continues, the country will perish, and Your Majesty can no longer enjoy blood and food."

Although Yan Ying was a seventy-year-old man, his articulation was as articulate as when he was young. Qi Hou had nothing to say, so he smiled and said: "Good! Widows know that spending money and laboring the people is not good for the country, so they complain about the craftsmen and the people. It's the sin of the widow. If it wasn't for the teachings of the master, how could the widow keep the sect over the years?"

He bowed twice to Yan Ying: "Wait until today's work is over. The widow will not go on stage again, and no stage will be built!"

Qi Hou said "today's events". But it was on this pavilion that the banquet was held in the battle of Lu Xibi. Tian Kaijiang, Gongsunjie and Guyezi, who made military exploits.

The day before yesterday at the shrine's "drinking arrival", Yan Ying walked in front of Sanshi to show respect, but Sanshi proudly ignored the short and elderly doctor and couldn't sit up.

Yan Ying was slightly angry in her heart, but she was more worried that the power of these three people in the army was growing day by day.

Tian Kaijiang belonged to the Chen clan, Gongsun Jie belonged to the Qi clan, and Gu Zhizi belonged to the market. The three have in common. That is, they have all been favored by the Chen family, and they have been loyal to Chen Wuzi and Chen Qi for a long time. They only bought the accounts of the Chen family and Qihou, and ignored the country, Gao, Bao San's and Yan Ying.

Although Yan Ying was wary of Chen, and urged Qi Hou to replace Chen Qi as the head coach of Falu, Guoxia still favored Chen. However, these three scholars have made great contributions. If the power is large, Chen's actions to weaken the office will become more and more reckless.

"These three people must be removed!" Zai Guoxia also told him. During the process of cutting Lu, the three of them kept going their own way, and after disobeying the dispatch, Yan Ying made up his mind.

He knew his life was short. I just hope that Chen's conspiracy can be delayed before he dies.

It is ridiculous to say that Yan Zi and Chen Wenzi were confidants and friends back then. He also strongly recommended Sima Rangju, a member of the Chen clan, to the Marquis of Qi. Who would have thought that when Chen Huanzi Wuyu was in power, this docile and humble family finally showed a hideous face. They are greedy, insidious, and cunning, making Yan Ying shudder.

Now. All he needs to do is to use his tongue to persuade Qi Hou to do it.

At this time, two old people, a king and a minister, finally boarded the platform of the road.

Looking down at the magnificent Linzi City in the distance, Qi Hou immediately forgot his tiredness and his promise to Yan Ying. He sat on the mat and sighed: "The beautiful palace, I will be old, I don't know who will have it in the future?"

The Duke of Qi didn't intend to say anything, but Yan Zi's answer turned out to be heart-wrenching: "As the prince said, will the Chen family be in charge of the state of Qi?"

Qi Hou suddenly changed color: "Chen's? They have always been respectful to the widow, and they have done their best to seek hegemony for Qi. What do you mean by Master's words!"

Yan Ying said indifferently: "Your Majesty pays a lot of taxes, and the people have a third of the harvest, so they take two of it. Although Chen's family has no great virtue, he is kind to the people. They measure it with beans, districts, kettles, and clocks. When he lends it, Xiaodou takes it back, he takes a lot, and he gives it very generously. In this way, people's hearts will naturally fall to the Chen family, and their love is like their parents, and they are returned like running water."

"The "Poem" says: Although there is no virtue and women, he sings and dances. The people of Chen's alms keep in their hearts, and they are willing to sing and dance for him. When the sovereign is there, there may be nothing wrong. If there is laziness, the state of Qi with the surname Jiang will be transformed into the state of Qi with the surname Gui!"

Qi Hou listened, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, and his face was uncertain. But after thinking for a while, he found that Chen's forces had spread throughout the military and the people, and the branches were prosperous and could not be removed.

In fact, ten years ago, Guo and Gao Erqing were very jealous of Sima Rangju, who came from the Chen family. After Chen Huanzi died, he deliberately suppressed him, causing the famous general to die of anger, and his apprentice Sun Wu also fled to Wu State. However, Chen's body was not damaged at all after being dormant, but instead grew stronger.

So Qi Hou asked helplessly: "The Master's words are very good! But the roots of the Chen family are already deep~www.wuxiahere.com~ What can I do?"

Yan Ying was relieved when he saw that his advice had been effective, but he also knew Qi Hou's temperament. Apart from being obsessed with hegemony and tireless, he was only enthusiastic about everything. At the beginning of the pro-government, he could still humbly accept advice and improve state affairs, but the older he got, the more extravagant and absurd he became.

If you don't make persistent efforts today, I am afraid that tomorrow you will be bewitched by the Chen family and those courtiers, and you will be obsessed with the big dream of the overlord again!

So Yan Ying pointed to the three warriors who were walking like flying under the stage of the road bed and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to get rid of the Chen family, you must first kill these three warriors!" (To be continued..)
