Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 178 Duke Ai of Qi and "Cooking Punishment" (Part [-])
But on the surface, Wu Liang was pleasantly surprised, and looked at Zhu Lu next to him carefully, and then he confirmed to Ji very solemnly: "Is what the old gentleman said true? The third son of Zhu is really good!" Is it the noble person that is missing in my life?"

"It's true, when did the old man deceive the young master?"

Yu Ji smiled lightly, stroked his beard and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Okay! That's really great! This is called breaking through the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go. It doesn't take much effort to get here! Hahaha, no wonder I felt very close to Mr. Zhu when I first met him. It turned out that everything was already predestined!"

Wu Liang laughed loudly, as if he was already in the third rank at this moment, that made one overjoyed.

"So the old man... the captain is also the noble person I lack in my life?"

Seeing this, Zhu Lu hurriedly came over and asked, "As long as I stay with the captain, I will become rich and wealthy just around the corner?"

"This matter is more important to Zhu Sangong."

Yu Ji laughed and said, "The young master has reached the rank of captain now. If he wants to be promoted again, it will take more effort and time, but the third young master Zhu is now just a county magistrate, with such a low starting point and such oppressive fortune. For a long time, I'm afraid it won't take long to see immediate results."

"Okay! If I can really become rich and powerful, a mere hundred catties of gold is nothing. I would like to support Mr. Elder for the rest of my life!"

Zhu Lu also became excited in an instant.

A pair of eyes became brighter, and even the waist straightened a little, as if he had seen a bright future, saw the worship of the crowd, saw that he was better than his brothers in the family, and saw the admiration of his father and brothers. Looking at him, he saw that he had naturally become the next head of the Zhu family, and the greatest head of the family...

"Third son, you are not authentic. I have sworn to provide for the old man, how can you come to snatch it?"

Wu Liang deliberately said with a straight face.

"This... is my fault, so I will offer offerings to the old man every year."

Zhu Lu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly changed his words.

"Hahaha, that's right."

Wu Liang then patted Zhu Lu on the shoulder, and said very affectionately, "Since you and I are each other's nobles, we should support each other in the future. You are cheap, how about calling me a talented brother from now on?"

"Brother talented."

Zhu Lu immediately called out, and said happily, "My surname is Zhu, my name is Lu, and my name is Yongkang. If there is a talented brother who will not give up, just call me Yongkang."

"Brother Yongkang?"

"Brother talented?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was laughter from the two in the living room.

From this moment on, the alliance between Wu Liang and Zhu Lu was initially established.

It is conceivable that no matter what Wu Liang does in Yongqiu County, Zhu Lu will not only stop stumbling, but will also provide him with support within his ability as much as possible.

of course.

Wu Liang will also provide him with some benefits in return, so that Zhu Lu can enjoy some sweetness, so as to further increase Zhu Lu's dependence on him as a "noble man" and maintain this "alliance" relationship.

In this way, the idiot Zhu Lu became his puppet.

The Zhu family's power in Yongqiu County is no longer an obstacle to his implementation of the "Garrison System", but has become his assistance.

This result is definitely better than dismissing Zhu Lu and sending him back to the Zhu family. After all, the Zhu family will never give up on Yongqiu. If Zhu Lu is sent away, the Zhu family will definitely send someone new to take charge of the overall situation.

If the next person sent is not as stupid as Zhu Lu and comes with some resentment, then it will definitely bring him some troubles, which is not beautiful.

……

In this way, he and Zhu Lu drank some wine as brothers and sisters in the living room.

To put it bluntly, it was actually Wu Liang and Yu Ji who joined forces to force Zhu Lu a meal. After he was almost exhausted, Wu Liang sent someone out to call in the group of servants that Zhu Lu was accompanying, and set Zhu Lu up. go home.

"Brother talented! Let me tell you... I've never been as happy as I am today in my life... I've been so happy... hiccup!"

"I'm committed to you, brother... We brothers will join forces, we will definitely... we will be able to make some deeds, and make those ordinary people look at you with admiration... Ugh!"

"I-I'll prepare some good wine and food some other day, and you and I, my brothers, will have another drink... That's it, it's a deal, it's a deal!"

The servants carefully helped Zhu Lu walk out of the mansion, but this guy was still talking to Wu Liang at that step, looking like a drunkard who still hadn't finished.

The servants were secretly startled.

They really couldn't figure out what kind of ecstasy drug Wu Liang had given their master, how could they be strangers before entering, and become brothers who had met each other lately when they came out?
To be honest, the relationship between Zhu Lu and his brothers is really not as close as that of Wu Liang.

His brothers didn't think much of him, and usually they would simply say hello when they saw him, and they seldom even gave him a smile, even if there was a smile, there was some disdain and disdain in the smile.

Regarding this, Zhu Lu knew it clearly in his heart, but it was only clear, and he never dared to express his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Yongkang, you are drunk."

Wu Liang smiled, and said to the servants, "Hurry up and take Third Young Master Zhu back, as it's cold and windy today, it will be bad if you get a stroke."

"Yes……"

The servants bowed quickly, but Zhu Lu suddenly cleared his throat: "I'm not drunk! I can still drink, I'm happy today, I can still drink, I can drink!"

"Okay, okay, you are not drunk, you can still drink, I am drunk."

Wu Liang followed the drunk while winking at the servants.

Everyone hurriedly stuffed Zhu Lu into the eight-carried sedan chair, and the servants didn't dare to say anything, so they could only thank Wu Liang and leave quickly with the sedan chair.

On the way back, seeing that Zhu Lu had fallen asleep, the servants couldn't help but whispered about it:
"This new county magistrate is not simple. How many county magistrates have been changed in Yongqiu County over the years. This is the first time I have seen such a powerful county magistrate. But in the end, when we look back, we are still able to call our young master brothers and have a drink and talk..."

"It can be seen that our young master is really happy today. No one has ever made him happy."

"With such a powerful county magistrate, Yongqiu might be different, right?"

"Who knows, it has nothing to do with us anyway, we just need to serve the young master well, other matters are not our turn to discuss."

"..."

……

At the same time, within the government office.

"The old man has worked hard, this "History of Qi" is really a good thing!"

After reading the two volumes of "History of Qi" compiled by Yu Ji, Wu Liang was full of praise.

This "History of Qi" begins with King Wu of Zhou's first conferment on Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya) in Yingqiu to establish the state in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and records the history after the emergence of the Qi state.

Although the previous content is much more detailed than the ancient books discovered by later generations.

For example, after Jiang Ziya came to Yingqiu, how did he kill chickens and monkeys to quell the chaos in the local barbarians, how to simplify etiquette and revise policies to win the hearts of the people, how to obtain the right to conquest, and make Qi a real big country, how to go to Qi Dinggong, Qi Yigong, Qi Guigong... ...Wait, everything is recorded relatively clearly.

However, some of the memorabilia are not much different from the historical records of later generations, and there is not much to pay attention to.

In this way, it was not until Qi Aigong, the fifth lord of the Qi State, that there was finally a record that was completely different from the history Wu Liang knew.

In the historical records known to Wu Liang, there are only a few words of this Duke Ai of Qi, and it is derived from the records in the later "Historical Records: Qi Taigong Family": "Gui Gong died, Zi Ai Gong did not stand in the morning. When Ai Gong, Ji In the Zhou Dynasty of Hou Chen, Zhou Peng mourned Duke and appointed his younger brother Jing as Duke Hu."

It is said that Duke Ai of Qi is the heir of Duke Gui of Qi, and he is called "Lu Buchen".

After Duke Ai of Qi succeeded to the throne, King Ji continued to slander King Zhou. King Yi of Zhou believed the slander and killed Duke Ai of Qi, and then appointed his younger brother Lu Jing as Duke Hu of Qi.

When he first saw the record about Duke Ai of Qi in this "Historical Records", Wu Liang had many doubts in his heart.

"Historical Records" calls Lu Buchen "Qi Ai Gong", which is actually no problem.

After all, "Historical Records" is a later history book that was only completed during the Western Han Dynasty, but in real history, Lu Buchen's name is absolutely impossible to be "Qi Ai Gong".

Judging from the law of historical emperor titles and titles, "Sorrow" can only be the posthumous title that the king of Zhou forced to give him after his death.

After all, no matter who is naming it, it is impossible to use such a mournful word as "sorrow" in his own name.

What's more, the several Qi kings in front of him have already prepared for him, Qi Dinggong, Qi Yigong, Qi Guigong... all used words selected from the ten heavenly stems, and suddenly came to him "" "Sorrow" word.

This is too abrupt, just like when "rat, cow, tiger, rabbit" are arranged in sequence, someone suddenly picks up a "dinosaur" at the back. There must be something wrong with this person's head.

Besides, "cooking" Duke Ai of Qi?
"Cooking punishment" is an extremely cruel punishment. The victim will be stripped of his clothes and put into a cauldron as tall as a person, and the firewood under the pot will be ignited to raise the water temperature for cooking. The boiled flesh and bones separated.

Even when King Wu of Zhou crusaded against Emperor Xin of Zhou, he regarded this punishment as one of the evidences of King Zhou's tyranny.

As a result, it has only been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and the king of Zhou Yi, Ji Xie, dared to use "cooking punishment" on the descendants of Jiang Ziya, the greatest hero in the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, and the king of a country, just because he listened to other people's slander like Emperor Xin of Zhou?
What's more, when King Zhou Yi was in power, the Zhou royal family was already in a stage of decline, and some princes no longer came to pay tribute, and they attacked each other.

At that time, Qi State had already become a big country among the vassal states. Facing such a renegade monarch, Qi State would not respond at all, and just endured everything silently?
These questions, in the "Qi History" sorted out by Yu Ji, finally gave some explanations...
