Spring and Autumn I Am King

The thunderous sound of chariots and horses awakened Kong Yu from his short sleep. When he opened his eyes, he found that the gray morning light was leaking into the house through the casement of the small building.

He was originally the ruler of Wei, who was quick and eager to learn, and was not ashamed to ask questions. However, after years of hard work for the country, he had gained suspicion and distrust from the monarch. He was exhausted, and he has been sick since last winter. He has been bedridden until now. The ruling position has fallen into the hands of others, and Kong has been in the political arena of Wei Guo for a while.

But in his heart, had he ever forgotten the safety of the state of Wei, the rise and fall of the family, and when he heard the chaos outside, Kong Yu felt a sense of dexterity, endured the pain all over his body, and asked the man standing next to him, "What happened? ?"

"I don't know..." The people were also frightened. This morning, the direct son of the family went to see Zhao Qing off, and not long after he left, there was a lot of chicken flying outside, and they didn't dare to go out to ask.

Kong Yu became more and more uneasy, thinking that Zhao Wuxi had just arrived in Wei, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Help me up."

Kong Yu got up from the couch with difficulty with the help of the people standing there. The place where he lived was a three-story building. Looking down the street, a group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses were patrolling around and scolding the people on the street. .

Not long after, his son and his retainer Zilu came back and quickly informed Kong Yu of what happened outside.

It turned out that as soon as Zhao Wuxi's Yingyang ship left the front foot of the boat this morning, a big news broke out on the back foot of Emperor Qiu:

Young Master Ying, who had rejected the throne twice and was always popular among the people, was arrested by the monarch!

The news immediately caused an uproar in Diqiu. The whole city was under martial law. Those armed outside were the henchmen in the Weihou Palace, and they were patrolling and searching everywhere.

"Whom to hunt?"

Zilu said, "Young Master Ying's party, Ciqing Shipu!"

"Father! What should I do now?" Kong Yi, who had just been crowned, panicked. It was okay for him to attend the banquet in place of his father, but he didn't know what to do when faced with such a big change.

Kong Yu was stunned. This was the last thing he wanted to happen. His face was ashen. After a while, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and some red plums were stained on the bed veil. Everyone rushed to cry and shout at him. Hold on.

"First, father and son turned against each other, and now there are brothers against each other. This is Haotian wanting Wei to perish..." Kong Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and passed out after speaking.

The owner of the house was in a coma, and the entire Kong family was in chaos. Among the people who were pinching people, the people who were looking for a doctor, and there were people who were panicking.

Only Zilu shook his head and stepped back. He came to the outer courtyard, gathered the more than 100 diners and diners of the Confucius family, and ordered them one by one. Half of them carried weapons to strengthen the defense of the mansion, and at the same time sent people to go. Carefully inquire about the news outside, and bring their respective families over.

He looked at all the scholars and said: "The ruler treats his ministers like brothers and feet, and the ministers treat the ruler like a belly. Now that the defense country will be in chaos, we have received the great favor of the family master, and we must protect the Kong family!"

Everyone was convinced by Zi Lu and cupped their hands: "Wei!"

Zi Lu is very aware of his ability, and the chaos that Zhao Wuxi single-handedly promotes is like a drop in the bucket.

Immediately, he remembered one more thing, and he pulled Jiazai and asked, "Where's Madam?"

Kong Yu's wife, Bo Ji, is the elder sister of Weihou. She has always been favored. As long as she is here, Weihou will not do anything to Kong's family. Now the family is in chaos, and she needs her to be the backbone.

The housekeeper said with a bitter face, "The madam heard that Ziying was arrested, so she took the group of sons to the palace to plead for mercy!"

Zi Lu's complexion suddenly changed, and the secret path was not good.

...

"Shipu escaped!?" At the same time, Weihou Kuaiyu, who returned to the palace, was furious. His younger brother, Young Master Ying, was captured in one fell swoop, but Shipu, the other mastermind of the "rebellion", did not know traced.

He angrily grabbed the collar of his cronie Shi Qi, slapped him, and scolded: "Didn't you say that you know everything about the secret terrain of Shifu?"

"This old thief learned the news in advance and ran away from the tunnel."

Shi Qi was vented by Wei Hou, and quickly stepped back to plead guilty. He was originally the son of the Shi clan, a century-old official of the Wei country. Right now is the best opportunity, but unfortunately what he did was not perfect enough to let Shipu get away.

"However, in the Shi family's mansion, a large number of weapons were indeed found, and the evidence of Shipu's rebellion is conclusive."

"We must seize Shipu..." Weihou Kuaixuan was very worried about this person. Shipu has the ability and has a high prestige in the country.

He ordered: "Since he has left, the Shi family will let you be the head of the family, and continue to mobilize the Shi family soldiers and palace guards. In the city of Dasuo, you must not rescue Shipu and the rest of the party, you must meet people in life, and you must meet them in death. corpse!"

After Shi Qi happily went down, another of Kuai's close confidants, Hu Qian, went up to the hall and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, Young Master Ying has denied treason and usurped the throne, and said he wants to see you..."

Kuai Xun was jealous and disgusted at the younger brother who was popular among the people. Feeling that he had been betrayed, he waved his hand and said, "No!"

"Then how to deal with Young Master Ying?"

kill? Still not killing, Weihou was very distressed.

Hu Hao said again: "There is one more thing... The son-in-law, Bo Ji, together with the sons, is willing to guarantee that son Ying has not rebelled, and hope that the emperor will release him..."

"For mercy? What are they trying to do!"

At the end of the speech, Wei Hou's sister Bo Ji, accompanied by Wei Hou's wife Lu Jiang, lifted the curtain and walked in, angrily accusing Kuai Xun. She didn't know that her husband was vomiting blood and comatose at home.

"Kui Yu, why did you arrest Ziying!"

"Why are you here?"

Kuai Xue was able to succeed the throne. The elder sister contributed a lot and was accused in person. He felt a little guilty for a while.

"I'm here to intercede for Ziying, the etiquette in the court, he is not at fault. He has not violated the etiquette stipulated by the court, and he has responded to orders. In the past few years, there has been no fault at all. Why do you say that he rebelled for no reason? "

Kuai Xun hesitated for a while, he remembered that when he was still the Crown Prince of Wei, Ying was quite close to him, very respectful and respectful to himself. He also remembered that when his father Wei Linggong wanted to make Ying the crown prince, Ying resolutely refused. Would such a person with no desire and no desire really want to rebel and usurp the throne?

But the things Zhao Wuxi confided to him when he was drunk last night were all solid evidence. From the letter from Shipu to the Zhao family, to the plan they made to seize the door, everything made Kuai shudder.

"Yes, even if Ying is not the mastermind, but if Shipu rebels and kills a widow, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to be pushed to the throne."

So after all, he is still guilty, why is he so wise, why should he behave better than the monarch in front of the people, isn't this an expression of ambition?

So his heart hardened again.

"Even if Ziying is wrong, how can he tolerate him for a while?" Bo Ji was still trying to persuade him.

Kuai Kui was furious. He hated people pointing fingers at him the most, even if it was well-meaning. Besides, he felt that he had control over the real power of Wei and no longer needed the support of his sister and brother-in-law, so he cursed: "Confused! It's the monarch, it's not your turn to speak up, Ziying must not let go!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The big thing is bad." At this moment, Shi Qi, who had just left, ran back again with a look of panic on his face.

"What's the matter!?"

"A group of people gathered outside the palace gate, including hundreds of workers, merchants, and scholars. They surrounded the two towers and asked the emperor for orders, hoping to let Xian Gongzi Ying be spared."

"Haha, Young Master Xian?"

Kuai Yu was a little mad with anger, and he gently recited a poem: "Uncle Yutian, there is no one living in the alley. How can there be no one living here? Not as good as Uncle Ye, Xunmei and benevolent..."

For a time, Bo Ji and Lu Jiang's expressions changed.

This poem is a poem of Zheng State. It is a poem by the people of Zheng who praises the beauty and virtue of Duan Duan, the younger brother of Duke Zhuang. But Gongshu Duan, with the help of his mother Wu Jiang, planned the rebellion. Before Gongshu Duan publicly rebelled, Zheng Zhuanggong learned about his plans, deliberately condoned his evil, and then wiped out his forces in one fell swoop.

What Kuaifu meant was that he compared himself to Duke Zhuang of Zheng, and Ying, the son of Wei, was the uncle Duan of the State of Wei...

Those people who pleaded for Young Master Ying became the last straw that pushed him to make a decision.

His face was distorted, his eyes were blood red, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and hit the case hard!

"A widow, the evil of not raising your uncle Duan!"

Bo Ji was frightened, she knelt down quickly, and pleaded with a crying voice: "Kui Kuai, A-jie doesn't ask you to let Ziying go, just keep imprisoning him, no matter how bad it is, exile and expel him!"

"That's good~www.readwn.com~ Weihou nodded to Hu Hao, "You go to Young Master Ying's place..."

Continue to be detained? He might have said that Kuai Xun had no doubt that a month or a year in a filthy prison would make Ziying, who had grown up in fine clothes and food, tremble, confess the guilt, and beg for release. But after he is released from prison, he will be loved and supported by the people of the country again, and Shipu, who has fled, will start to plot to support him to usurp the throne.

Tie him to a car and deport him? He might say. But the exiled son went abroad, and after a few or ten years, he came back to seize the throne. Is there still less revenge? Not to mention Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Miao of Jin who are far away, let’s just say that Zhao Wuxi is an example, and Kuai Xun is also an example. With the demeanor and so-called virtue of the son Ying, how much sympathy can he get from the princes and officials abroad? , how many cronies can you bring when you come back?

Evil must be eradicated! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. Kuai Xun warned himself that what Zhao Wuxi said to him is very reasonable.

So what he blurted out was: "Give him a sword, and allow him to kill himself!"
