Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 580
As far as Qingji knew.

Five years ago, Ji Pingzi passed away, and his son Ji Sunsi succeeded him.

Ji Huanzi was too young to control the family affairs, so Yang Hu, Zhongliang Huai and other retainers began to make troubles.

At that time, Zixie, who had been guarding Feiyi all the year round, was dissatisfied with Zhonglianghuai, Ji Pingzi's favorite minister, and asked Yanghu to help drive Zhonglianghuai away, which hit Yanghu in his arms.

Yang Hu led his troops to expel Zhongliang Huai and put the young master Ji Sunsi under house arrest.

Then, Yang Hu asked Ji Sunsi to authorize him to be in charge of the Ji Sun family, but Ji Sunsi disagreed, so Yang Hu simply killed Ji Sunsi's cousin.

The tactic of killing chickens to warn monkeys really worked, especially to coax children, Ji Sunsi gave in and admitted that Yang Hu was Ji Sun's agent.

Not long after, Yang Hu kicked out his enemies, or people he thought unreliable, out of the country one by one.

Yang Hu just claimed to Qing Ji that everything he did was "due to luck", and there is some truth to it.

Because, when Yang Hu had just become the top leader of the country, his uncle, grandson Chengzi, and grandson did not dare to die, and his son, grandson Zhouchou succeeded him as Uncle Wu.

Shusun Zhouchou is also young and unable to govern!
At the same time, Meng Yi's son Zhongsun Heji, who has always had a good relationship with the Jisun family, is also young.

In this way, Yang Hu, who had no background, became the temporary head of Ji Sun's family.

The Jisun family is the largest family in the Lu State, so Yang Hu has become the most powerful minister of the Lu State, leading the young master Sanhuan and ruling the Lu State.

But as Ji Sunsi and Shusun Dare grew older, Sanhuan gradually raised his head, Yang Hu finally couldn't sit still, and decided to do something big.

Therefore, Yang Hu planted cronies in the court, formed cliques for personal gain, and he was willing to get close to nobles who were usually dissatisfied with Sanhuan.

It didn't take long before a group of people gathered around Yang Hu, such as Ji Sunwei, Uncle Sun Zhe...

Most of these people were nobles who were excluded by Sanhuan and were not reused.

In order to avoid nights and dreams, Yang Hu decided to act first!

Ambitious Yang Hu and others planned secretly to replace Ji Sunsi with Ji Sunwei as the suzerain of the Ji Sun family, and use Uncle Sun Zhe to replace Shu Sun Zhouchou as the suzerain of the Uncle Sun family.

And Yang Hu aimed at Meng Yizi's position, and with the help of Ji Sun and Uncle Sun, he banned the Meng Sun family!

Finally unwilling to be lonely, Yang Hu launched a coup d'état.

After dispatching troops and generals, Yang Hu took Ji Sunsi hostage to a banquet outside the east gate of Qufu, the capital.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hu's plan was seen through, and Jisun Si escaped from Yang Hu's clutches. Yang Hu was defeated by Meng Sun's army, and turned against the army.

Yang Hu still didn't give up, and planned to hijack Lu Hou to fight back, but he was in vain, and finally had to flee in a hurry...

The Yanghu Rebellion has already been known to the world. Even if Qingji had focused on the war in the south before, how could he not have heard of it?

"Yangzi, I heard that you fled from Lu State to Qi State and were accepted by the Marquis of Qi. Why did you come to Jinling?"

Qingji asked with great interest.

Hearing this, Yang Hu had an embarrassing look on his face, he could only answer with his head down: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, after I escaped from Qufu that day, I retreated to guard Yangguan and Shu."

"The court of the State of Lu has returned to its former form again, with the Marquis of Lu sitting in the court and the three Huan governing."

"However, they don't intend to let me go. In desperation, I can only lose Yangguan City and go to Qi State."

"However, the Marquis of Qi doesn't have the capacity to accommodate people, and the whole country of Qi is full of corpses and vegetarian meals, people with no ambitions!"

"Nowadays, all the countries in the world, only Wu Jin has the power to be the hegemon!"

"That's why I'm planning to go to Wu to seek a job. I heard that the king has just issued an order to seek talents, so I can only do it!"

"I don't have talents, but I have some talents, which can relieve the king's worries."

Is this really the case?

Qingji laughed it off.

Of course he would not believe Yang Hu's one-sided words.

Yang Hu at that time was actually not at the end of his rope.

As far as Qingji learned, Qihou Chujiu took him in considering that Yanghu was a talent who rose from the ground after all, and he could also get the neighboring cities of Wenyang and Guiyin that Yanghu led.

With Yanghu as decoration, it can still attract many talents from Lu State, so that they can plot against Lu State in the future.

But in Qi State, Yang Hu was dishonest again.

Yang Hu actively bribed the people in power in Qi State, coupled with Yang Hu's contribution to the city, he was soon reused by the Marquis of Qi.

Yang Hu took the opportunity to suggest to the Marquis of Qi: Attack the State of Lu while the State of Lu has not yet recovered.

Qi Hou was frightened by the state of Jin, and he did not dare to make mistakes. He hesitated, so he went to ask the minister Bao Guo for advice.

Bao Guo's answer was very sharp. Under his advice, Qi Hou realized that Yang Hu had always been a villain who pretended to be a villain for public benefit. He wanted to send troops to attack Lu State by himself, and he probably had no good intentions.

Therefore, the more Qi Hou thought about it, the more he felt that this Yang Hu was a dangerous person.

Not long after, Qi Hou ordered Yang Hu to be arrested.

Yang Hu is indeed so powerful that he even slipped away!

But as far as Qingji knew, after being rejected by Qi Jinggong in history, Yang Hu made a detour to Song State and went to Jin State.

When he met Zhao Yang, the son of Zhao Jian who was in the army of Jin State at that time, Zhao Yang saw that he was a traitor, so he appointed Yang Hu as the chief assistant of the Zhao family.

You must know that the position of chief assistant is equivalent to Zhao's second in command, which is very important.

Zhao Yang resisted all opinions and entrusted Yang Hu with a heavy responsibility.

Is it bad luck for a rebellious minister to meet a strong lord?

Not also!

In Qingji's view, this is a duck to water.

Zhao Jianzi used his excellent tactics to control Yang Hu, an ambitious man, and let Yang Hu carry out a series of reforms, which made Zhao's family stronger and more prestigious among the princes.

Confucius prophesied that Yang Hu would bring chaos to the Zhao family, and as a result, the Zhao family came into great order because of Yang Hu's talent.

Zhao Jianzi finally became the most powerful Shiqing in the Jin Kingdom, and the prophecy of the old master Confucius unfortunately came to nothing...

If Qingji thinks he can control Yanghu, he might as well use him again.

"Yangzi, do you know why you have repeatedly failed in Lu and Qi, and why you can't show your ambition?"

Qingji asked meaningfully.

"This……"

Yang Hu was a little embarrassed to be asked this question by Qingji, but he still answered bravely: "My lord, I have summed up some reasons."

"I have repeatedly betrayed my lord and used my servants to carry out the state's orders. This is disloyalty."

"It's unrighteous to burn Yangguan City and leave the subordinates alone while only caring about your own escape."

"Whether you are in Lu or Qi, you can't change the practice of recruiting diners for your own use..."

"No."

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "Yang Hu, the reason for your failure is not limited to this, nor is it the same."

"Not being kind to tree people is your biggest failure, your biggest mistake!"

Shuren means to cultivate talents.

This made Yang Hu quite puzzled.

How can one's own failure be related to not being good at cultivating people?

Qingji smiled lightly and said, "Yang Hu, don't you understand?"
