Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 190 I read "Spring and Autumn"
While Zaiyu was studying ironware in the mansion, Zi Gong also came to a house next to the mansion.

This house looks unattractive, it seems to be no different from ordinary houses, but the local people in Tuqiu know that this place is not as simple as it looks.

Those who can come and go here are not the big figures in Tuqiu City, or the heads of Tuqiu Business Hotel.

It's just that, although everyone's house is different, no one can tell what it is used for.

At this moment in the house in the courtyard, Zi Gong was sitting in the right seat, and below him were the head of the business traveler who had returned from various places.

Zigong briefly nodded at the number of people present, then nodded and said: "It's rare that you are all here today, so let's start with Jin."

Hearing this, the merchant in charge of the trade of Jin State immediately stood up and saluted, "Duanmuzi."

Zigong asked, "How is the state of Jin recently?"

The merchant replied: "Before, Zhao Yang was instructed by Zai Zi to persuade the Marquis of Jin to release Le Qi, the chief minister of the Song Dynasty, who had been imprisoned.

The Marquis of Jin was persuaded by Zhao Yang, and he had already planned to release him directly.

But Fan Yang said to the Marquis of Jin: Jin has detained him for almost two years, if he is released now for no reason, then Song will definitely betray Jin.Why don't you propose to Song Guo that they exchange Le Qi's successor, Le Hun, as a hostage.

The Marquis of Jin agreed to Fan Yang's request, but Le Qi disagreed with exchanging his son for himself.

If this situation is deduced, I am afraid the situation will not be optimistic. "

Zigong nodded slightly when he heard the words, he pondered for a while, and then ordered: "You will write two copies of these matters later, one will be kept by the chamber of commerce, and the other will be submitted to Zaizi for reading."

"only."

Immediately afterwards, Zi Gong shouted again: "Guo Wei."

Another merchant stood up and said, "The Marquis of Qi formally formed an alliance with Zheng Bo in Xiandi a few days ago, and summoned the princes in Weiguo.

However, in the process of summoning the princes, it seemed that there was a gap between Qihou and Weihou, and the two broke up unhappy.

In order to ease the relationship with Qihou, Weihou has decided to send Shangqing Beigong as an envoy to Qi. "

"Marquis of Wei and Marquis of Qi are at odds?"

When Zigong heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If it were someone else, they might not be so sensitive to this news.

But Zigong, as a native of the Wei country, felt something strange in it.

Because Marquis Wei has received great kindness from Marquis Qi, the relationship between the two is not to mention living and dying together, at least it can be regarded as brotherhood.

Weihou inherited the throne when he was young, so the political affairs of Weiguo were controlled by several Qing clans and his uncle.

Wei Hou's elder brother, Gong Meng Jie, repeatedly humiliated and despised Qi Bao, the Minister of Wei, not only robbing him of his official position as a military commander, but also forcibly occupying the Qi family's fief Juan.

Usually when something happened, Qi Bao would be called back to work, and when nothing happened, he would be kicked away.

In addition, Gong Mengzhen also had a bad relationship with Shangqing Beigongxi and doctor Chu Shipu, trying to find an opportunity to eradicate them.

Weihou's uncle Gongzichao (not the same person as Song Gongzichao) was afraid of retaliation because he had an affair with Xuanjiang, the wife of Weihou's father Wei Xianggong, so he conspired with Qi Bao, Bei Gongxi and Chu Shipu Make chaos.

Taking advantage of Marquis Wei's visit to Pingshou, the four families launched a rebellion in Diqiu, the capital of the country, killed Gong Mengzhen, and wiped out his power.

When Marquis Wei heard the news of the rebellion, he hurriedly ordered to drive back to the capital. Unexpectedly, he was besieged by four families as soon as he entered Diqiu.

Thanks to Qingbi, Gongnanchu, Huayin and other loyal ministers who fought to the death, they were able to protect Weihou Zhouquan.

Marquis Wei's car drove into the palace, and after it was filled with treasures, he rushed out of the capital in a hurry, preparing to leave the country with these gold and silver treasures.

At this time, Qihou Zheng sent Gongsun Qing to visit Weiguo. After Gongsunqing heard the news of the rebellion in Weiguo, he did not dare to make a random decision, so he sent someone to ask Qihou for his opinion.

Qihou's answer was quite decent, he said: As long as Weihou is still within the border of Weiguo, then he is still the monarch of Weiguo.

So Gongsun Qing followed Wei Hou all the way to the dead bird, asked Wei Hou to conduct an interview according to the etiquette, and personally held a duo to guard Wei Hou.

Later, internal strife broke out among the four rebellious families. Bei Gongxi suddenly turned against the water and turned around to attack Qi Bao, Chu Shipu and Gongzi Chao. .

Since then, the relationship between Marquis Wei and Marquis Qi has been very strong, and the two countries often send envoys to ask about their health and exchange needs.

Marquis Wei and Marquis Qi have been friends for almost 20 years, so how could they just turn their faces when they say they turned their faces?

If you say that Marquis Wei and the State of Jin fell out, then Zi Gong might still believe it.

Because Wei Hou and Liang Zi of Jin have also been married for 20 years.

After Qi Bao, Chu Shipu and Gongzi Chao failed in their rebellion, the country that accepted them was Jin.

Marquis Wei expressed his dissatisfaction with this many times, but Jin obviously didn't take his protest seriously.

And at several lords' alliance meetings, the state of Jin fully revealed its contemptuous attitude towards the state of Wei.

When Marquis Wei was in danger, Marquis Qi could still treat Marquis Wei as the king of Wei.

But the state of Jin is good, no matter what time they treat Marquis Wei as a bum, they really don't give him any face.

Comparing the two, if you say that Marquis Wei is not holding back his anger, Zigong will not believe it.

But what is it that actually made Marquis Wei and Marquis Qi unhappy, and even asked Bei Gongjie, an important minister in charge of the government, to go to Qi State to explain in person?
Zigong couldn't figure it out.

While he was thinking, he suddenly saw the merchants in the hall standing up and saluting.

"Zaizi!"

Then he saw Jai Yu walking in the door with a smile all over his face.

"Huh? Why are there so many people today?"

Seeing him coming, Zi Gong immediately stood up and told him the information he had just received.

Who knew that just after he finished speaking, Jae Yu's face suddenly changed color.

"It's over."

"It's over?" Zi Gong asked puzzled, "What's over? Do you know the reason for the quarrel between Marquis Wei and Marquis Qi?"

Zaiyu covered his face and sighed: "Zigong, you are a Weiren, and you have met Qihou with me, don't you understand their personalities?"

"personality?"

Zigong thought for a while, and it seems that Marquis Wei and Marquis Qi do have a lot in common.

Both of these two kings like to select talents and appoint talents, and they both have a certain amount of tolerance, and their tempers are relatively lenient. As long as the bottom line of principles at the national level is not touched, they will rarely get angry under normal circumstances.

And there is no territorial dispute between Qi State and Wei State, and the two countries have not accommodated each other's traitors, so it is indeed not easy to make these two quarrel.

Zigong asked back: "You mean that there is actually no problem between the Marquis of Qi and the Marquis of Wei?
But since this is the case, why did Marquis Wei send Bei Gongjie as an envoy..."

Speaking of this, there is no need for Zai Yu to give him an answer, Zigong himself has already understood it first.

"Bei Gong Knot!"

The Beigong family was the biggest beneficiary of the civil strife in the front line for 20 years.

Although the Beigong family also participated in the rebellion, but because they turned against the water and expelled Qi Bao and others, not only were they not held accountable afterwards, they were rewarded instead.

And in the past 20 years, the Beigong family has also relied on its achievements in suppressing the rebellion to actively develop its power, and it seems that it has the momentum to firmly sit on the top spot of the Wei Guoqing family.

What's more terrible is that the Wei Guoqing family headed by the Beigong family are all hardcore pro-Jin forces. Marquis Wei wanted to unite with Qi many times before, but the doctors headed by Shangqing Beigong jointly stopped them.

Now Marquis Wei suddenly sent Bei Gongjie to Qi State...

Zigong shuddered all over, and suddenly remembered a trick from "36 Strategies".

Could it be that Marquis Wei wants to play the game of borrowing a knife to kill someone?
Zai Yu said: "If my guess is correct, when Bei Gong is married to Qi, he will be imprisoned by the Marquis of Qi, and he will be charged with 'disrespect' afterwards.

Later, Qihou will use this as an excuse to send troops to attack Weiguo.

After a little resistance, Marquis Wei will immediately negotiate peace with Marquis Qi, and on the condition of releasing Beigong, he will make an oath with Marquis Qi justifiably.

And when the oath of alliance is completed and Bei Gongjie returns to the country, Marquis Wei can charge him with another charge of 'incompetence', thereby weakening the influence of the Bei Gong family in the country of Wei.

In this way, Marquis Wei not only achieved his goal of forming an alliance with Qi, but also defeated the pro-Jin faction in the country.

The courtiers can't accuse him of going his own way, because from a moral point of view, Weihou's actions are not arbitrary, but forced by the situation.

This is a plan to kill three birds with one stone! "

After Zigong heard it, he repeatedly claimed it was wonderful, but in a flash, he said again in doubt.

"My son, although this strategy is really wonderful, how do you know that Marquis Wei will definitely do what you said?"

When Jae Yu was asked this question, he just coughed in embarrassment.

Then he muttered in his heart: "Nonsense! I read "Spring and Autumn"!"

　One person's vote is more important than the treasure of Jiuding.A three-inch reward is better than a million words.
