I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 276 It's All Little People

What kind of Qing Feng's story is, only he knows best.

But now that he is at the end of the road, now facing Li Ran's inquiry, he seems to have no reason to avoid it.

He recalled it for a long time, and then suddenly came over from the memory, and then said in a slightly dazed way:
"Back then, the news of She'er's death came suddenly from the capital, and the guards who came to convey the news were covered in blood. After finishing the story, they also died."

"And I was still at Lu Pumao's house at that time, and I was not vigilant about everything. To this old man, it was like a bolt from the blue."

"Afterwards, it was still under Lu Pumao's reminder that the old man remembered to call the surrounding masters."

"When they killed She'er, I was the next one to kill. And Lu Pumao is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness. After all, the old man treats him well, so he simply turned against the old man. We Gathered Jiajia and rushed to the city overnight, but the guards at the gate of the city who were originally placed by him have already been bought by them at this time. But seeing that the four gates are closed tightly, the whole city is under martial law."

"The old man still remembers the scene he saw when he attacked the city."

Lu Pumao's fief is not far from the capital of Qi State, so this gave Qingfeng time to gather his troops.

But what he never expected was that his actions seemed to have been exposed a long time ago, or in other words, Lu Pukui (Lu Pumao's younger brother) and Wang He who participated in the killing of his son seemed to have known that he would turn against him. Usually, a large army was arranged to garrison the city in advance.

The two sides had a fierce confrontation at the gate of the city. However, Lu Pukui and Wang He relied on the superiority of the city defense to block Qing Feng's attack wave after wave. The gate of the big city was full of corpses and blood flowed like a river.Countless people died innocently in this inexplicable rebellion.

"At that time, the old man couldn't get in, but they couldn't get out either, and there was a stalemate."

"However, after we had been in a stalemate for three days, another surprise soldier suddenly appeared, appeared on the flank of our army, and launched a sudden attack on our army."

"At that time, the old man was discussing matters in the big camp, and suddenly heard the sound of drums. It was too late for us to react."

"This surprise army and the defenders in the city immediately launched a counterattack, and the old man was hit by the enemy for a while. Moreover, this surprise army is fast and aggressive, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary Qi troops."

"Thus, the old man ended up in a disastrous defeat and left the country of Lu."

Speaking of this, Qing Feng couldn't help laughing at himself.

He has dominated the government in Qi State for many years, and it can be said that he has power over the government and the public.Unexpectedly, from the beginning when Qing She was killed, to the guards at the gate of the city being bought, and to the appearance of this mysterious army, he was completely unaware from the beginning to the end.

It was as if all his sources of news were blocked at that time.He couldn't receive any news from the outside world, so of course, it could only end in a fiasco in the end.

But that's not out of the ordinary.

"You mean...it was Lu Pumao who reminded you to rebel?"

"Doctor, you didn't actually think of rebelling at the beginning?"

Li Ran keenly sensed something was wrong from Qing Feng's words, so he couldn't help asking with a frown.

According to what Qing Feng said, there may be other mysteries in this matter and it is unknown.

But who knows Qing Feng shook his head and said:

"At that moment, it's death, it's death, since it's all death, why not fight back?"

He didn't deny Li Ran's question, but he didn't answer it directly either. He seemed to be saying that even if Lu Pumao encouraged him to rebel, there would be no problem.After all, it has come to that time, rebellion or not, the end is the same.

"But...don't the doctor think his warning is very suspicious?"

"what?"

Qing Feng looked at Li Ran puzzled.

Just listen to Li Ran said:
"Lu Pukui is Lu Pukui's younger brother, and the reason why Lu Pukui was able to return to the Qi State as a traitor was the result of his younger brother's operation behind the scenes. It stands to reason that the two of them should be more like brothers. It’s better than Jin Jian.”

"But when Lu Pukui betrayed you and your son, Lu Pumao, who is a younger brother, rebelled with you, doctor, what good will it do for the Lu family?"

"Even if they can drive you away, the Lu family will be excluded from the court of Qi because of Lu Pumao's rebellion with you. Will the Marquis of Qi still use their Lu family? "

Although in this day and age, brothers fight against each other, there are many people who turn against each other.

However, the situation of the two brothers Lu Pukui and Lu Pumao is somewhat special after all, because Lu Pukui was able to return to Qi State under the operation of Lu Pumao.Moreover, they themselves and Qing Feng are related by marriage.

Therefore, the reason why Lu Pukui wanted to kill Qingshe was most likely just to express his loyalty to Marquis Qi.

However, after all, Lu Pumao rebelled against Qingfeng outside the city, and it is very likely that the Lu family will be directly implicated.And this directly led to the fact that even if Lu Pukui could successfully resist Qing Feng's counterattack, it would still make him suspicious of the Marquis of Qi and even the entire court of Qi after this incident.

Facts also proved this point. After Lu Pukui killed Qingshe and blocked Qingfeng's attack, he himself was not reused by Qihou.

And his younger brother Lu Pumao, as a matter of course, was exiled to Yan State a few years later.

"These two brothers have done such a great thing in Qi, but they all ended up like this in the end."

"Don't you think it's strange, doctor? Such two key people are like two chess pieces, which are thrown away when they are used up."

Logically speaking, the person who launched a coup d'etat and finally won it, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, will logically reach the pinnacle of life.

Even if this peak is only temporary.

However, Lu Pukui and Wang He, these two people seem to be two people passing through the motions in a hurry. Although the coup they launched was successful, they did not get any benefits from this incident, and they even ended up with nothing. Ended up being exiled.

Obviously, if they were not used by others and used as pawns, what else could they be?
"What do you mean? This matter has been a game of chess from the beginning? Someone deliberately stirred up behind the scenes to force the old man to rebel?"

Qing Feng couldn't help reacting, and sensed something was wrong.

Li Ran thought for a while and said:
"You might as well think about it carefully. If you hadn't rebelled at that time, what would the government and the people of Qi do against you?"

"Although the defenders of the capital are in the hands of Lu Pukui and Wang He, after all, you are in charge of the military and political power of Qi."

"You have military power in your hands, and most of the ruling and opposition parties are your people. Therefore, as long as you can force Qihou to negotiate peace with you, the final result will not be like this."

Li Ran was keenly aware that Lu Pumao reminded Qing Feng that the rebellion was a trap.

Because Qing Feng rebelled at that time, it was tantamount to directly committing rebellion.No matter what, the cap of this rebellious minister and thief can't be taken off.Therefore, there is no room for maneuver.

Qing Feng directly chose a dead end.

From this point of view, the purpose of the behind-the-scenes promoters was obviously aimed at Qing Feng.
