warring states careerist

Chapter 578

Lu Hou understands the "difficulties" of the Qi army a little bit. If Wucheng is not burned, the commander of the battle of aiding the most, Gongzaoye, followed the army, and the Mohist main force led by Shi, who has captured Pingyin, will besiege back and forth. The Qi army was afraid that they would be defeated before they could gain a firm foothold in Wenshui.

Now that the army of Qi was outside the city, Tian Qing and his son Wu asked for help from Marquis Lu. They first talked about the friendly relationship between Qi and Lu, but some Confucian scholars in Lu State cursed at them.

The envoy talked about some things about Zhou Gongdan and Jiang Taigong's Eastern Expedition, and told some past events of Qilu's cooperation before.And those Confucian officials asked: "That's Ji Jiang's favor, what has it to do with Tian?"

The relationship between Qi and Lu itself is quite bad, and the biggest shame is what happened to Wen Jiang back then: Wen Jiang and his brother committed adultery, and together they murdered her husband, the king of Lu.There are three more chants about this matter, and the battle between Qi and Lu has been going on all the time. Not to mention that Xiangzi Niu invaded Lu back then, besides the invasion of Lu, Luhou also accompanied Qihou to drive for the King of Yue.

Confucian scholars in Lu State also opposed the revolution in Fei State, but they had some bottom line. They did not say that they thought Qi State was good because they opposed Mohist’s righteousness and Fei State’s revolution.

In terms of etiquette, Tian's replacing Qi and everyone being equal are all violations of etiquette, and there is no difference.

The envoys of Qi State were not polite in their words. Tens of thousands of troops were outside, Qufu had no danger to defend, and its back was extremely hard. After all, Tian Qi was the country that later scolded Zhou Tianzi as "your mother and maidservant", so he denounced Lu Houcheng at that time. "Liuyi Dance" broke the rules first.

Confucian officials of the State of Lu reprimanded Tian He for his private affair with the concubine Ji, and envoys of the State of Qi responded to the matter of Duke Hui of Lu taking his daughter-in-law forcibly...

Both sides are disgraceful, as nobles, which family history has not lost a green hat. The two sides scolded for a long time, and finally the envoy of Qi State said: "One hundred thousand men in armor in Qi are stationed outside Qufu, please gentlemen Enter the camp to argue!"

In a word, after all these disputes were settled, the officials of Lu State kept their mouths shut and did not dare to make a sound, so Lu Hou came forward to mediate.

The envoys of the State of Qi wanted to borrow food, borrow people's husbands, and ask the people to transport food to Wenshui and so on.

As soon as the envoy of Qi State left, Lu Hou sighed in front of all his ministers.

"Hey! The Yin of Wenshui, isn't it a place where the public wants to grow old and live in tufts?"

"The sun of Wenshui, isn't it a place where the sage of Lu Zhan Ziqin sits in his arms?"

With a sigh of emotion, all the officials were ashamed.

In the past, Duke Yin was regent and wanted to return the power to Prince Yun, so he asked people to build a different town in the land of Tuqiu, so that he could live in seclusion after returning to power in the future.

Wenshui Zhiyang, under Mount Tai, was the fiefdom of Liu Xiahui, who was still in his arms, and it was near Pingyin City, which was captured by the Shuai army.Liu Xiahui was a sage of Lu. Later Qin State attacked Qi and passed through Lu State. He also sent an order to the people of Lu: Anyone who came within fifty miles of Liu Xiahui's tomb would be beheaded to show respect.

Duke Yin of Lu did not mean to miss these two sages of the State of Lu.

When the ministers heard it, they felt that Marquis Lu was saying: the land along the Wenshui River was originally the land of the Lu State, but now it is all in the hands of the Qi State, but we still have to transport food to this place. Isn't this a shame for the courtiers?
Talking with ulterior motives, the listener has other intentions.

After retiring from the court, the doctor Li Jia who once said: "A distant water can't put out a nearby fire" went straight into the harem.

Seeing Li Biao coming, the Marquis of Lu was overjoyed, and said in his heart, "There are also sages in Lu, and there will be someone who understands what I mean."

But he didn't say it clearly, Li Jia sighed first: "Your Majesty just talked about Mr. Xianyin, I can't help feeling sad."

"In the past, Duke Yin went to Tangdi for the joy of watching fish, but now the Tangdi is owned by the Song Dynasty, and now it is the land of the Mohist family."

"In the past, Duke Yin wanted to return the old man to the government and ran Tuqiu, but now Tuqiu is the belly of Qi."

When Lu Hou talked about Yin Gong, Li Jia knew the elegant meaning after hearing the strings, so he used Yin Gong's affairs to ask Lu Hou's real meaning. Li Jia believed that Lu Hou was not simply lamenting that the land was occupied by Qi State.

Lu Yin's official business has a lot of meaning.

Back then, his father Hui Gong married Yin Gong, who was the daughter of Song Gong, but seeing her outstanding appearance, he took the daughter-in-law.

Duke Yin is a filial son, he was very happy to see his father liked him, and thought that he should be happy that his fiancée could be enjoyed by his father.

Later, Huigong and Yingong's fiancée gave birth to son Yun. Gongzi Yun's mother, Yingong's fiancée, and Yingong's stepmother Zhongzi were of higher birth than Yingong's mother, so son Yun was established as the crown prince.

Because Yingong was old, Huigong was elected as the king by the officials after his death. Yingong believed that his father's will was to let Gongzi Yun succeed to the throne. If he declined, the officials might not support Gongzi Yun in the future, so he succeeded. , following the example of Duke Zhou as the regent, returning to Prince Yun for the future.

When he was in power, he heard that people in Tangdi in the Surabaya River Basin were fishing and singing late, so they went to watch "cheap things".

Later, in order to become the prime minister, Young Master Hui said to Yin Gong: Now that Prince Yun is growing up day by day, if you don't really want to be Duke Zhou, you might as well kill Prince Yun first.

Duke Yin was shocked and said: "I have already built another town in Tuqiu, and I plan to return the government to Prince Yun in the future and then live in seclusion. Your idea is very dangerous.

The young master turned pale with fright, fearing that this matter would be exposed, he went to Prince Yun again and said: "Although Yingong is now regent like Duke Zhou, you grow up day by day. What if Yingong doesn't return to power in the future?"It is better to strike first.

Young Master Yun said: "Good."

So taking advantage of Yingong's sacrifice, he sent someone to assassinate him, and Prince Yun was able to ascend to the throne.Young Master Yun was the one who later married Wen Jiang and was strangled to death in the car by his uncle.

Yingong is a believer. He was captured in the war with Zheng Guo, and Yingong was imprisoned in Yin’s home. Yingong prayed that the psychic shaman worshiped by Yin’s family hoped to return to the country. If he could return to the country, he should worship him The patron saint, worshiped all the year round.

Later, he returned to Lu State with Yin Shi and the psychic wizard, and set up the shaman's tablet as his patron saint, offering sacrifices frequently, without interruption for several years.Young Master Hui ordered someone to assassinate Yin Gong while Yin Gong was offering sacrifices, and then used the name of regicide to destroy the entire family of the assassins.

Today Lu Hou talked about Yin Gong, borrowing the allusion of Tuqiu, which seems to be the same as Liu Xiahui's fiefdom, saying that the Wenshui River Basin now belongs to Qi State, and Lu State is oppressed by Qi State.

But according to Li Jia, Zhan Ziqiu's fiefdom in Wenshui was just a foil. In fact, what Lu Hou wanted to talk about was not that Tu Qiu was in Wenshui, but that Tu Qiu lived in seclusion as a regency.

At the beginning, the Mohists came forward and said that the affairs of Fei State were Fei's internal affairs, and that Lu State was not allowed to borrow their way; while Qi State sent people to say that Fei's affairs were not aggression, nor did they violate the treaty of the Non-Attack Alliance...

Under the oppression of both sides, Lu Hou first agreed to Qi State's request to borrow the road, and in turn asked Young Master Fen to contact the Mohist family to signal that the Mohist family's words made sense.

Seeing that Marquis Lu was talking about the hidden business, Li Jia used the hidden business to mention that Guanyutai is now in Fang Yu of the Song Dynasty, which is basically already the territory of the Mohist family.

You are talking about Yin Gong, but you are actually talking about the current Marquis of Lu. This is the meaning of using the past to satirize the present: Now the State of Lu is sandwiched between the Mo family and the State of Qi, and no one can afford to provoke you. You mentioned the Tuqiu incident , Could it be that he wants to use this regency to allow Young Master Fen to succeed to the throne so as to give the Mo family an explanation?

This involves a secret and inconvenient difference.

Is Prince Yun of that year the blood of Duke Hui?Or Yin Gong's blood?This is a private matter that is difficult to say clearly.

But in any case, Yingong was not the legal father of Prince Yun, so later Prince Yun sent someone to assassinate Yingong.

However, now Young Master Fen is the biological son of Marquis Lu no matter in terms of law or blood.

Moreover, the two young masters were fighting with each other, Yin Gong carefully examined Mozi's words, and recognized the young master Yunli as the prince, and after the rise of the Mo family, the young master Yun was at least close to the Mo family on the outside.

When Marquis Lu heard Li Biao's words, he was secretly happy, but he remained calm and sighed: "If you don't say anything, I almost forget the joy of Yin Gong watching fish."

Li Biao sighed and said, "I didn't think of the joy of watching fish. It's because your majesty mentioned Liu Xiahui's fiefdom. I naturally thought that when Liu Xiahui's father conquered Ji Kingdom, he set up Tangyi. Mr. Yin just Going to Tangdi to watch the fish, Wu Hai was able to use his posthumous title as his surname because of his achievements in destroying the country, and he has the Zhan clan."

This is all an old matter of his own family. Lu Hou naturally knew it, so he said through his words: "Yes. At that time, it was still proposed by the young master, saying that the emperor granted the princes to use Youtu as their clan, and the doctor to use Youtu as their clan. That's why I gave it to you. Zhan."

Today, using the past to describe the present, when talking about Tuqiu, Yutai, Yingong, Regent, etc., it is impossible to avoid the powerful minister Gongzi Hui who told the truth and caused Yingong to be killed.

When talking about Liu Xiahui's fief in Wenshui Zhiyang, which now belongs to Qidi, Gong Zihui cannot be avoided, because Liu Xiahui's surname comes from what Gong Zihui said back then, otherwise he cannot be regarded as a clan.

Liuxia is a fief, Hui is a posthumous name, and his real surname is Zhan.This is similar to the aristocrats in the world and the enfeoffment system in later generations outside the world, so-and-so in a certain place, this should also be regarded as the general rule of the aristocratic system under the feudal system.

Lu Hou didn't care about Liu Xiahui at all, he just wanted to mention these words: back then, the young master was a gossip, but Yin Gong was going to live in seclusion, and he was stabbed to death in the end.Even if I have the intention to live in Tuqiu and serve as regent and return to Prince Fen, I am afraid that there will be such a person as the prince in the court.

Li Biao understood Lu Hou's worry, but said: "In the past, the young master wielded great power. In the fourth year of Yin Gong, the Song people attacked Zheng and wanted to join the Lu State. Yin Gong refused, but the young master Hui led the army to join the Song State together. Kill Zheng."

"During the time of Duke Hui, Lu and Song were at war. Duke Yin succeeded, and Song wanted to attack Zheng, but Duke Yin refused, but Mr. Hua sent troops to form an alliance, so Song and Lu made friends again."

"In the sixth year of Yin Gong, Zheng Guo was ordered by the emperor, and the commander of the handsome emperor attacked Song. Song asked for help from Lu, but because Yin Gong did not agree to form an alliance with Song, but the alliance was privately formed by Prince Hui, Song was not rescued. Zheng Guo also forgave the crime of attacking Zheng with Song Guo."

"In the ninth year of Duke Yin, Duke Song did not go to pay homage to the Emperor of Zhou. Duke Yin immediately declared that Duke Song had committed a serious crime, and the Qi and Zheng allied forces attacked Song."

"In the tenth year of Yingong, the young master Hui who had betrayed Yingong's order and formed an alliance with the Song people in the past, led the army first and defeated the Song army in Jian. Both Qi and Zheng praised the bravery of young master Hui, and did not blame the crime of alliance with the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after Duke Huan succeeded to the throne, Young Master Hui was able to go to the State of Qi to win Wen Jiang for Duke Huan..."

He did not respond to Lu Hou's concerns, but used this matter to praise Lu Hou's vacillating policy: No matter whether the Mo family wins or the Qi country wins, the Lu country can be exonerated, just like the song Yin Gong and the young master sang back then. Like a double spring.
