Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 94 Compromise
When Duke Wu of Zheng passed away, why did Ji Ran's party members and Ji Tu's party members confront each other for several days before there was any result?

One is because both sides had troops at the time, but Ji Ran had a slight advantage.Concubine Xian holds in her hand the dispatch warrant issued to her by Zheng Wugong, which seems to represent Zheng Wugong's attitude, so that Yongji's side can't throw a mouse.

The second is because Zheng Wugong died without leaving a will.

But later, Ji Ran's party announced that there was a will, but it was actually a coercive edict drawn up by Zheng Zihui and his important officials after the two sides decided the winner.

Zheng Zihui never thought that correcting orders would become a hidden danger.Because everyone thinks that Zheng Wugong did not leave a real will.

The problem lies here, Ji Yu took out the edict written by Zheng Wugong himself.

The posthumous edict was written on Zheng Wugong's undergarment, and judging from the handwriting, it is more than [-]% likely that it was written by Zheng Wugong himself.

Zheng Zihui and other important ministers questioned: "The edict was not written according to the regulations, it is not an official document, and it is not recognized."

Ji Yu replied: "At that time, Duke Wu was seriously ill and was imprisoned in the harem by concubines Xian and other traitors. Duke Wu was afraid that the state would fall into the hands of the thieves, so he was in a hurry to follow the power. In order to keep the truth, he used his personal skills thing.

Besides, according to the ancestral system, as long as it is written by the king himself, it is an imperial edict.It would be a disgrace if the important officials ignored the monarchy.I will definitely write to the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Heaven and the princes and kings to see your faces clearly. "

Everything Ji Yu said made sense.

Zheng Zihui and other important ministers said again: "How can we explain the death of the former king? Killing the king and seeking rebellion, the world is in disarray."

Ji Yu snorted coldly and said, "Ji Ran is the one who conspired against him because he was in charge of Jiaozhao. I will kill him to avenge my father and restore the country."

Without waiting for Zheng Zihui to ask any more questions, Ji Yu first explained her point of view.

First of all, Ji Yu believed that two people were guilty, one was Ji Ran and the other was Concubine Xian.

Ji Ran was charged with stealing the country and had already been killed by him.

It is unrighteous for the concubine Xian to disobey the will of Duke Wu of Zheng.Ji Yu advocated that the concubine Xian be abolished as a commoner, thinking of her meritorious service in taking care of Duke Wu in the early years, she could be taken back by the Zheng family to support her for the rest of her life as appropriate.This is Ji Yu's kindness.

Secondly, Zheng Zihui and other ex-Ji Ran party members, Ji Yu promised not to pursue the crime and keep him in court.This is also a kindness for Ji Yu.Of course, as for whether Ji Yu will find other excuses to demote or kill her later, let's not consider it for the time being.

Ji Yu's remarks made Zheng Zihui and other important officials very different.This son, who had no sense of presence in politics before, suddenly showed the appearance of a wise king.

Maybe this can be done?

Once everyone has this idea in their hearts, it will be equivalent to Ji Yu's victory.

Ji Ran is already dead, and it won't help if he struggles any longer.There must always be a son of Duke Wu to take the vacated position of king.

Among Duke Wu's several young masters, only Young Master Ran and Young Master Tu were more active in the past, and the others had a low sense of presence.After a while, everyone really couldn't think of a good candidate to succeed him.Anyway, it doesn't matter which young master is in the position, except young master Tu.

Half a day passed, and there was more than one person who was moved.

However, they must not be swayed so easily, and they have to survive for three days and three nights, otherwise they will be called loyal ministers in vain.

Don't ask how to spend these three days and three nights, you must not eat, and you can sneak a little water.

So three days later, Zheng Zihui and other important officials compromised.They acknowledged the validity of the edict, but there is one thing that needs to be changed, that is, the previous edict cannot be said to be an edict.

In the end, everyone negotiated and came up with the idea that Ji Ran, the lord of the former kingdom, suddenly died of a serious illness, and appointed son Yu to inherit the throne.For this reason, Zheng Zihui and others concocted another coercive edict pretending to be Ji Ran.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Zheng Zihui.

Zheng Zihui is Ji Ran's cousin and the nephew of Concubine Xian.He did not die for Ji Ran, but chose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden to survive.When he was imprisoned, he suffered a lot, which caused his colleagues to persuade him.In the end, everyone was moved by his sentiment of putting the country first.

Zheng Zihui did not commit suicide.Firstly, he was afraid of death, and secondly, he was really thinking about his family.If he died, what would the Zheng family do?And what about Concubine Xian?
Zheng Zihui is alive and serves Ji Yu as her master, so she is bound to be cast aside by the world.But he has the courage to bear the infamy and bear all the guilt in his own body.

Of course, whether Zheng Zihui is really so righteous, or simply afraid of death, only he knows.

Anyway, after three days the dust settled.

At noon three days later, the gates of the capital opened again.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the others knew immediately.Because Qingcang Mountain became lively again, many carriages and horses went to the capital.

Hu Zigui also planned to go to the city, and when passing by the farmhouse, he asked Cui Panpan if he wanted to go to the city, but Cui Panpan politely refused.

Lin Xiaoxiao joked: "Are you sure you don't want to go back to Tian's house?"

Cui Panpan gave her a pair of supercilious eyes.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously again: "Why do you think Tian Mu made such a move? He is already the general and Sima of Zheng Guo, can he still be promoted?"

Cui Panpan shook his head: "I don't know. In my previous memories, Tian Mu spent the whole year leading troops to fight outside. Little Cui has never seen him a few times since he was married. He doesn't know him at all."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked again: "Then what about this Ji Yu? Has he been mentioned in history?"

Cui Panpan still shook his head: "I only remember the general history, not the details."

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed: "Before you said that Zheng Guo's defeat began with civil strife, but now it is the beginning of civil strife."

Cui Panpan agreed and said: "Ji Yu's treason and usurpation started and he couldn't stop, and there will be endless troubles in the future."

You must know that Ji Ran failed to get rid of Young Master Tu when he came to power, and now Young Master Tu and his father-in-law Yongji are supporting themselves in the south of Zheng State.

This time Ji Yu killed the king, the news will inevitably spread to the south.At that time, it is not known whether Young Master Tu will recognize Ji Yu as the lord of the country. If there is a war between the north and the south, the worst will be the separation of the two places.

The more Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more dangerous she felt: "Why don't we leave early, and don't be late and fight between the north and the south, then the road will not be safe."

Cui Panpan disagreed: "It's better to wait until your title document comes down before leaving. This opportunity is so rare, maybe you can be recorded in history because of it."

"I don't care about that, safety comes first." Lin Xiaoxiao said.

"It doesn't mean that it will arrive in a month or so, and it may already be on the way to Zheng Guo. The imperial edict issued by Zhou Tianzi, no matter how the king of Zheng Guo changes, they will all recognize it.

Even if the north and the south want to fight, it is not so fast. You have to come and me to write edicts several times, condemn each other and scold each other before you can use the real sword. "

Speaking of Hu Zigui's entry into the city, of course he went to the official post to find Thirteen Lang, but found that Thirteen Lang had not returned to the official post.After some inquiries, Huzigui found Hualou, only to find out that Shisanlang had gotten into trouble.

What trouble?Naturally, who will be responsible for the death of the young master of the Li family.

The young master of the Li family invited Gongsun Shisanlang to have a drink at the Hualou, but the young master of the Li family died unexpectedly, but Shisanlang was not injured at all.

How should this matter be?
