Chapter 186
Facing the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the emperor on the couch slowly opened his eyes.
"Lin'er!"
Qi Lu immediately strode over and said in surprise: "Lin'er, are you awake?"
Ji Lin slowly opened his eyes, moved a little, and couldn't help but let out a "hiss...". The pain from being hit by Young Master Zhu'er with a stick seemed to still remain, giving Ji Lin a dull pain in the back of his head.
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Qi Lu immediately reached out to help him and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Lin looked around intently and realized that he had returned to the appearance of an emperor. He turned over and sat up and said, "Master?"
Qi Lu quickly said: "It's Lu, Emperor, what's wrong with you? Last night, the little local dog ran away without knowing where it was."
Hearing him mention this, Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "The dog is with the young master Zhu'er."
"Zhu'er..." Qi Lu's face suddenly darkened. He never liked getting angry, because Qi Lu was a very lazy person, and he didn't bother to get angry. But now, that anger seemed to be met with oily smell,
It kept exploding in Qi Lu's chest.
Sure enough, it's Zhu'er...
The emperor immediately told Qi Lu everything that happened last night. The princes and sons ran away, and the little local dogs were kidnapped as well. There were people in Linzi City to help the princes and sons.
The emperor frowned and said, "I heard their conversation. I am the great Situ of Qi. His position is not small. I have to be careful."
The Great Situ of Qi is an official position with more than ten thousand people. Although the status of the Great Situ is not as good as the Prime Minister, it is still close. Moreover, after the death of Qi Hou Lufu, the status of the Prime Minister is vacant. The largest official position is the Great Situ. The Great Situ
He is old and highly respected in the Qi State. If Zhu Er had the help of Da Situ, his wings would surely harden in an instant.
When Qi Lu heard this, he immediately said: "No, it's too dangerous. What are you waiting for? You will find a way to escape tonight."
"No." Unexpectedly, the emperor actually said the same words, and his attitude was very tough. He shook his head and said, "No."
Qi Lu said strangely: "The Emperor is not new to those Zhu'er's cruel methods. The little native dog stayed in Linzi City, and Lu was worried. Linzi City is less than a day's journey from the Huimeng camp. The Emperor will take action tonight.
Someone will be sent to escort the emperor out of the city."
Unexpectedly, the emperor still said the same thing, saying: "No."
The emperor added: "It is precisely because of the danger in Linzi City that I cannot leave. Young master Zhuer never dreamed that I was the little native dog he kidnapped. Zhuer and the chief minister of Qi have no grudge at all.
As long as I stay in Linzi City, I can find out the truth and benefit the Grand Tutor."
Of course Qi Lu understood this. After all, the little native dog was just a dog. If Qi Lu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the little native dog had anything to do with the emperor.
But it was too dangerous. The young masters and sons were always cruel and cruel to everyone, let alone a dog. Moreover, the dog was Qi Lu's favorite pet. There was no guarantee that the young masters and sons would not abuse the little native dog.
The emperor said soothingly: "Master, don't worry. I can take measures freely. Moreover, the princes and sons are busy dealing with the master now, so I can protect myself."
The emperor wanted to move his troops in danger and did not give Qi Lu a chance to refute. He immediately changed the subject, chuckled lightly, and said with a confident smile on his face: "I really got some news..."
In the Huimeng camp, Qi Lu was enthroned as the king of Qi. The new official took office three times, and everyone was discussing this issue the next day.
At sunset the next day, Gongsun Wuwu suddenly came to Qi Lu in a hurry. He clasped his hands secretly and said like a thief: "Master Qi - are you there? No, no, sir, are you there? I am
I am ignorant, I need to see you for something."
Qi Lu was in the camp when he heard Gongsun Wuzhi calling Hun'er. His voice was secretive, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, but to be honest, everyone might have heard the sound of calling Hun'er.
Qi Lu asked Gongsun Wuzhi to come in. Not only was Gongsun Wuzhi coming in, he was also followed by the eunuch Meng Yang.
When Gongsun Wuwu saw Qi Lu, he immediately went to greet him and said, "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
Qi Lu was quite steady, wearing a black monarch's robe, sitting beside the desk, holding a scroll of slips in his hand, looking decent.
Qi Lu said: "What's the matter? You're so flustered?"
Gongsun Wuwu said: "It's a big deal, it's a bad thing. Someone from Linzi is coming! They say they want to see your Majesty!"
Qi Lu put the slip in his hand on the table and said calmly: "Who is it?"
Gongsun Wuwu folded his hands and whispered: "People sent by Qi State's Chief Situ."
Da Situ.
This is not the first time Qi Lu has heard of this title. Coincidentally, this morning, Ji Lin was still talking to Qi Lu about Da Situ.
Gongsun Wuwu said in a low voice like a thief: "Da Situ sent someone to say... He said he wanted to report to you... your Majesty!"
"Telling?" Qi Lu smiled and said, "Yeah, it's getting more and more interesting."
Gongsun Wuzhi scratched the back of his head, somewhat confused by Qi Lu's reaction, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see me? Da Situ's disciples came here secretly and want me to introduce you to Your Majesty."
Qi Lu smiled and said: "See you, of course you want to see me, just bring me in now."
Gongsun Wuwu scratched the back of his head again, quickly exited, and brought a man in. The man was wearing servant's clothes and dressed very simply. At first glance, he had sneaked into the Huimen camp.
When Da Situ's disciples saw Qi Lu, they immediately bowed to him, made a great salute, and kowtowed twice.
In this era, it was not popular to kneel down and kowtow. It was not like the dynasties in the future who would kneel down and kowtow at every turn. However, this disciple of Da Situ kowtowed twice, and the meaning was actually very obvious, which was to apologize.
Qi Lu smiled and said: "Doctor Qing is a disciple of our great Situ of Qi State. He must be a pillar of Qi State. Why do you do this great ceremony?"
The disciples of Da Situ still knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you are clear that the guilty minister is here to ask for forgiveness!"
"Oh?" Qi Lu's expression was still indifferent and he said, "What crime is Aiqing guilty of?"
Da Situ's disciples grabbed the ground with their heads and kept kneeling. They were extremely respectful and said: "Just last night, the young masters and Zhu'er escaped from the Huimeng camp and returned to Linzi City. The man who escorted the young masters and Zhu'er entered
The people in this city are none other than the guilty minister’s mentor—Da Situ!”
Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So you are here to expose Da Situ?"
Da Situ's disciples immediately shook their heads and said: "No, no, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! Da Situ, as an old minister of our Qi State, is a native of Lao Qi. How could an upright Lao Qi native do anything to betray your Majesty?"
What? The great Situ actually compromised and pretended to support the young masters, so he stabilized the young masters and asked the guilty ministers to come and report the matter, and asked your Majesty to deal with it."
Qi Lu raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Oh? So, Da Situ is just pretending to support the young masters, but he is actually loyal to Gu?"
"Natural! That's natural!" Da Situ's disciples kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Young masters and other sons are in chaos in the palace, which is contrary to family ethics. They have not made any achievements in the court. They have been showing off their power and power because they are the legitimate sons of the late father. Now, now The young master and his sons have lost power, and the Great Situ fully supports you, Your Majesty! That’s why I sent the guilty ministers to inform you that the Great Situ is willing to do your best for Your Majesty, and work together from the inside out to catch all the sons!"
When Gongsun Wuwu heard this, he frowned. Although he had never been very smart, he grew up in a royal family. He had been exposed to all kinds of palace stories since he was a child. Why did Qi'er's faction suddenly repent and help Qi Lu?
Does Da Situ really think that the young masters and sons have no future?
Gongsun Wuzhi was cautious, thinking that since he was so careful, Qi Lu would definitely be careful too. After all, even though Qi Lu looked gentle, he actually had more evil intentions than anyone else, especially the evil ones. Son.
Gongsun Wuzhi was thinking this, and then he heard Qi Lu laugh and said: "Da Situ is very loyal to Gu. It is Gu's good fortune to have such a high official in Qi State. Gu is not worthy of taking the throne, and he has not been able to return to Linzi." If the city has the help of Da Situ, it will definitely be the best."
Qi Lu said, stood up, walked to Da Situ's disciple in person, and helped the disciple up with both hands.
The man from that sect did not expect that the matter would be so successful. He thanked him repeatedly and said, "I am so scared! I am so scared!"
Qi Lu said: "I have just become the new king, and I don't know how to enter Linzi City. I am afraid that the young masters and other sons will cause chaos. I wonder...do you have any ideas?"
Da Situ's disciples left quickly, coming and leaving furtively.
Gongsun Wuzhi watched Da Situ's disciples leave in stunned silence, and immediately wanted to say: "Your Majesty, Da Situ..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps and someone came out of the tent. It turned out that there were people in the tent. Gongsun Wuzhi had never noticed it.
It is the emperor!
The emperor held a scroll of slips in his hand, walked over leisurely, threw the slips on the table with a snap, and smiled towards the camp door where the disciples of Da Situ left.
Gongsun Wuwu looked at the emperor coming out and scratched the back of his head strangely. He wanted to ask when the emperor was in the camp?
Qi Lu smiled and said, "Has the emperor heard this? This great Situ has a lot of drama."
When Qi Lu said this, Gongsun Wuzhi immediately remembered something and clapped his hands and said: "Da Situ! Yes, Da Situ! Your Majesty, why did you agree to Da Situ? This Da Situ used to be Zhuer's faction and has always supported him. Zhu'er, it must be the great Situ's credit that Zhu'er was able to enter Linzi City. Now the great Situ suddenly turns back and says that he was able to stabilize the Zhu'er. There must be some deceit in this!"
Qi Lu smiled and said, "It's good to cheat. I'm afraid he didn't cheat."
Gongsun Wuzhi fell into confusion again. Meng Yang said calmly at this time: "Gongsun, there is no need to worry too much. Even Gongsun can see that there is a fraud. Your Majesty must have noticed it a long time ago."
After hearing this, Gongsun Wuwu breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. He turned to Meng Yang and said, "What do you mean? Why do I feel that you are trying to squander me?"
Meng Yang gave a rare smile and said no more.
Gongsun Wuzhi immediately got angry and said: "I, Gongsun, are also very useful. There is no one in Linzi City whom I am not familiar with, and there is no matter that I am not familiar with!"
Gongsun Wuwu was just furious, but Qi Lu suddenly said: "That's right. If you want to break Da Situ's chess game, you have to trouble Gongsun."
Gongsun Wuzhi saw Qi Lu smiling at him. It was already dusk in the camp, and candles were lit. The smile was hidden behind the candles, faint, bright and dark, and actually coated with a layer of tenderness that could not be seen clearly. Like a feather fan, it tickles people indescribably.
There was a bang, and Gongsun Wuwu blushed for no reason.
