I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 458
When Ji Sun Yiru arrived at the "room", Yang Hu stopped the carriage:
"My lord, there is a small stream here, can the horse rest here and eat some grass before going on the road?!"

Ji Sun Yiru opened his eyes, he lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the grassy river beside him.

"Okay, then rest here for a while, and it's not too late to go."

Ji Sun Yiru also got out of the carriage, stretched his muscles and bones, Yang Hu made Ji Sun Yiru sit down, and took some pastries and water that had been prepared earlier, and some guards set up defenses around.

Ji Sun Yiru looked around, but felt a little strange.

"Huh? Where's the vertical cow?"

"He spontaneously stayed behind, and he expected to be rushing here at this moment."

Ji Sun Yiru nodded after hearing the words, but didn't think much about it.

"Tiger, you drive later, wait a little longer, wait for the team behind! The terrain here is dangerous, if there is an ambush, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

Yang Hu replied:

"promise!"

Yang Hu was standing beside Ji Sun Yiru, holding the hilt of the saber, looking left and right, when Ji Sun Yiru saw this, he couldn't help laughing:
"Tiger, you don't have to be so nervous, I just said it casually. Why don't you just sit down and chat with me!"

Yang Hu lowered his head and shook his head, saying:
"My lord, the tiger dare not."

Seeing that he was so restrained, Ji Sun Yiru couldn't help but heaved a long sigh:
"Hey... Hu, throughout my official life, I have been intriguing with others everywhere, and I have never had a heart-to-heart person. Only you and I, although master and servant, are in fact brotherly. You don't have to be so restrained."

"Having said that, but the Patriarch is the Patriarch after all, how could Hu dare to go overboard? If he is so presumptuous, it would be too ignorant of good and evil!"

Ji Sun Yiru couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Hu, these years, you have worked very hard for me to manage the family affairs. Do you have a fancy place? In the future, I can give you a city and let you be a free and easy governor. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Yang Hu couldn't help but knelt down on one knee:

"Tiger is only willing to serve by the Patriarch's side all his life! He never dares to give up..."

Hearing this, Ji Sun Yiru couldn't help being even more delighted.

"Hehe, why did Benqing miss you? In recent years, Benqing has been concentrating on state affairs, and Ji's family, big and small affairs are all up to you to manage. And you can be regarded as a reserved career, not only did you not overstep the half-step, It is even more so that Ji's family is organized in an orderly manner. Benqing can see all the credit for your contribution."

"Since that's the case... When I am old and hand over the affairs of my family and country to Si'er, you can go to Feiyi'an to enjoy your old age with me!"

After hearing this, Yang Hu felt a little moved for a moment.

"My lord loves Tiger so much, Tiger is so grateful, there is nothing to repay!"

Ji Sun Yiru waved his hand.

"You have done so many things for Ben Qing, how can Ben Qing not know? You and I are inseparable from each other!"

Yang Hu was silent for a moment and did not reply.

Ji Sun Yiru took a sip of water.

"Tiger, who do you think instigated this rebellion?"

"Perhaps it was the outlaws who supported Lu Zhaogong in the past? Or the Qing clan who were driven away by the Patriarch before? It is too early to say. After all, the lord has worked hard on state affairs so far, and he has made a lot of enemies. There's no way around it."

Ji Sun Yiru nodded.

"Hey...that's right, the three generations of the Ji family, how can we have fewer enemies? Qingfu, Dongmen Xiangzhong, Shusun's, and even today's Li Ran's party, are there still few?... "

While they were talking, suddenly, from the surrounding woodland, there was a burst of shouting and killing!

Ji Sun Yiru was also taken aback, got up and squinted his eyes to look into the distance.However, this place is close to the water source and the terrain is low, so it is impossible to see clearly.

Yang Huhu stood in front of Ji Sun Yiru.

"Yanghu is here, my lord, don't worry!"

Ji Sun Yiru settled down a bit, but the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, while the surrounding guards had already started to engage in hand-to-hand combat.For a while, screams and the sound of weapons clashing continued, and the situation seemed to be getting worse.

Yang Hu escorted Ji Sun Yiru to the carriage, Ji Sun Yiru climbed into the carriage and urged:

"Tiger, go!"

Yang Hu jumped up and reached the shaft of the carriage, but he didn't drive the horse on the road. Ji Sun Yiru secretly felt that something was wrong, picked up the saber hanging on the carriage, and shouted:
"Tiger! Get out of here quickly!"

Only then did Yang Hu reply:

"My lord! We seem to be surrounded!"

When Ji Sun Yiru heard the sound, his expression changed drastically.

"Where are the guards? Where are my relatives?"

"The tiger deserves to die. It's just because the tiger is greedy for meritorious deeds and wants to bring the Patriarch back to Qufu earlier, so all of them are left behind. They haven't arrived yet..."

When Ji Sun Yiru heard the words, he couldn't help being furious.But at this moment of crisis, if he can sit in this position, he will never lose his mind due to such a thing, and the only one he can count on right now is Yang Hu.

Soon, he calmed down:

"Tiger! Hurry up and escort Benqing out!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Hu got up suddenly, lifted the curtain of the car, looked down at Ji Sun Yiru with a ferocious face.

Ji Sun Yiru was so astute, he guessed Yang Hu's intention in no time.

Straightening the saber, he stabbed straight at Yang Hu, but was easily blocked by Yang Hu.

Ji Sun Yiru scolded angrily:
"Yang Hu, are you going to do Nan Kuai's business?"

Yang Hu forced Ji Sun Yiru to a corner of the carriage.

"My lord, I'm sorry, but because of my lord's misbehavior, Yang Hu will act for the heavens today!"

Ji Sun Yiru scolded:
"Yang Hu! As a retainer of my Ji family, I treat you well...Why did you do such a rebellious act?!"

"The lord's kindness to the tiger is as great as a mountain, but in ancient times, there was a saying of 'paraffin wax righteousness kills relatives', as the saying goes, 'a small favor is not as good as the fate of the country'! If the lord does not die, Lu will be in trouble!"

"My lord conquered Ju on behalf of the king, but sacrificed people to Boshe; let the king receive four, but he himself enjoyed eight; later, he deceived the king so that his guests died outside; even more, he used Lu's capital and bribed him. The Fan family of Jin."

"This one, one pile, which one is not perverted?!"

As a retainer of the Ji clan, Yang Hu is very clear about Ji Sun Yiru's "crimes" over the years, and now he lists them one by one, which is just and stern.

Among them, the so-called sacrificial sacrifice to Boshe means that at that time, Ji Sun Yiru took charge of state affairs and won the battle in Ju State, so he killed all the captives as sacrifices to Boshe.

To put it bluntly, there is a reason for this.

Only because the land where the State of Lu is located was originally the hometown of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.Therefore, there were originally two societies in the state of Lu, one was the Zhou Society and the other was the Bo Society.The Zhou society is the ritual of the week, and the Bo society is the old ritual of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Human sacrifice is exactly the original sacrificial culture of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

However, although the State of Lu had the Bo Society, it was used with extreme caution.

Just because the State of Lu was the fiefdom of Duke Dan of Zhou, what he enjoyed was the rituals and music of the King of Zhou.Therefore, as a vassal state that should have been the most prosperous Zhou ceremony, it should lead by example and not use living people as sacrifices.

But Ji Sun Yiru would actually use human sacrifices again to sacrifice to the Bo Society, which can be described as "forgetting the ancestors and forgetting the virtues".

Therefore, even Zang Wuzhong, the sage of Lu State who fled to Qi State at that time, once directly criticized this behavior:

"Duke Zhou probably won't enjoy Lu State's sacrifices anymore, right? Killing people as a sacrifice is too frivolous for Zhou rituals. Who else can God bless?"

Although, the reason why Ji Sun Yiru did this back then was to a large extent to deter Ju people in the future.

But at this moment, it has become a crime that others use to liquidate themselves!
What Yang Hu said made Ji Sun Yiru unable to refute for a while.

Yang Hu can be said to have stood on the commanding heights of morality.Therefore, even though he was a retainer, Ji Sun Yiru was overwhelmed!
Ji Sunyi is also ashamed at this moment:

"Tiger! Do you really want to harm me?"

"For the sake of the country of Lu, for the sake of the common people in the world, I beg you to have to do this!"

Ji Sun Yiru's eyes widened.

"Tiger! You can't do this. If you kill Benqing, you will have no place in the country of Lu in the future!"

Yang Hu smiled slightly, and shook his head:

"Don't bother the lord. If the lord doesn't die right now, how can the tiger sleep peacefully?!"
