I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 518 Chapter 612 Chapter 613 Yanghu is full of drama

So, under Qihou's instruction, Tian Qi personally brought people to the official post to capture Yanghu.

When Yang Hu heard the commotion outside, he didn't rush and just sat inside the room.

Tian Qi was also worried about Yang Hu's tricks again, so he went into the official post to get Yang Hu himself.

When Tian Qi saw Yang Hu, he couldn't help feeling a little bit relieved.Afterwards, with a calm expression on his face, he said to Yang Hu with a smile on his face:

"Yanghu, the widow has an order to invite you to live in the land of Lairen to the east of Qi Kingdom for a while!"

Hearing this, Yang Hu also knew that his trip to the Qi Kingdom had failed, but he still seemed very calm:

"Hehe, Marquis Qi doesn't listen to Yang's words after all! No matter, but... I, Yang Hu, can be regarded as a person in Lu State anyway, so please give me some courtesy! It seems that such recklessness, I'm afraid Unacceptable hospitality wow!"

Tian Qi heard the words, but sneered and smiled:
"Since the tiger wants to eat people, how can there be any courtesy? But I won't lock you up. If you are sensible, you can go with me obediently?!"

After hearing this, Yang Hu slowly stood up and bowed deeply:
"Thank you, my lord! But I don't know when to leave?"

"Well, the sooner the better!"

Yang Hu replied respectfully again:

"Of course! It's not too late, let's go today, and the tiger will leave now!"

Tian Qi originally thought that Yang Hu would try his best to resist, and even complain about his grievances.Who knows, this Yang Hu is still so calm and calm now!

Even, facing the matter of being exiled to Lai, he seemed a little "impatient".

He couldn't help being startled, he stared at Yang Hu for a while, and suddenly waved his hand to stop:
"Wait a minute!"

Yang Hu heard the words, looked back at Tian Qi again, and asked:

"Tiger is about to leave now, but I don't know what orders do you have?"

Tian Qi narrowed his eyes and said very cautiously:
"Hehe, I just thought about it again, and I feel that there is no need to be in a hurry...Master Yang, why don't you stay in the official post for a few more days!"

Tian Qi immediately changed his mind, he wanted to let Yang Hu stay in Linzi for a few days, and take this opportunity to observe carefully to see what other intentions this Yang Hu had.

Therefore, Tian Qi directly withdrew the guards outside the official post, and instead sent a large number of plainclothes guards inside.

Speaking of Yang Hu's status as a retainer, Tian Qiben also looked down on him.

However, after all, he was just a retainer of the Ji family who controlled the Lu country for several years, and he did so many things.All of this has to make Tian Qi pay attention to him.

Especially when he saw that Yang Hu was still calm and composed.I always thought he must have other plans.

Therefore, just to be cautious, Tian Qi decided to wait and see him in the dark for a while.

……

In the next few days, the people Tian Qi arranged also kept reporting back and forth.

But most of those people only said that Yang Hu hadn't experienced any abnormalities in the past few days.I just go shopping and wandering around all day long, but I never talk to anyone, and only care about eating and drinking by myself.I was tired from shopping every day, and I felt like I was lying on my pillow, and I didn't look like a person who was about to be imprisoned at all.

After hearing this, Tian Qi said with disdain:
"I thought he could have some abilities, but it seems that he is just a stubborn guy, so there is nothing to worry about!"

At this time, Shu Niu remonstrated from the side:

"Having said that, this person is not an ordinary person after all! Now it is still necessary to send him to the land of Laiyi as soon as possible, and keep him under strict supervision!"

Tian Qi didn't care about this, and replied contemptuously:

"It's just a lost dog, is it possible that you are still worried about how much trouble he will cause in our country of Qi?"

Shu Niu pursed his lips:
"It's right to be careful after all. In fact, it would be great if you can kill this person directly. However, since it's hard to explain to Marquis Qi, we can only keep him for the time being!"

But Tian Qi glanced at Shu Niu with some disdain, and said with a sneer:
"It's not worth mentioning about such a thing. You are just a housekeeper and have no status. You are not afraid of it in the state of Lu, let alone in the state of Qi now?"

After hearing this, Shu Niu had no choice but to be silent about it.

After Shu Niu retreated, he came to Yang Hu's mansion, and communicated with the person guarding Yang Hu:

"Besides eating and sleeping normally, Yang Hu has other abnormalities?"

The man thought about it for a while, and then said:
"It seems to be all right. However, he always asks when to leave? It seems... he is very excited about going to Donglai..."

Shu Niu tilted his head, but he was extremely suspicious about it:

"He?...Why are you so excited about going to the land of Donglai? There must be fraud here!"

The man replied:
"The younger one also asked insincerely, but Yang Hu always acted very mysterious. He only said that Donglai was in the country of Ju when he was drunk once. It seems that he has someone in the country of Ju!"

Hearing this, Shu Niu suddenly realized:

"So that's it! This guy really has left behind!"

Therefore, Shu Niu didn't dare to be negligent, and didn't check the momentary truth or falsehood, so he hurriedly took this person to see Tian Qi.

When Tian Qi heard the news, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh and said:
"Hey! This kid really prepared such a way out! No wonder he was so reckless a few days ago! If that's the case, then I can't let him get what he wants!"

When Shu Niu heard the words, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and added:
"It's just... Yang Hu's actions are extremely deceitful, and I'm afraid this matter will have to go further before making a decision!"

Tian Qi glanced at Shu Niu again, and said:

"How can this be figured out?"

Shu Niu glanced at the man again, and told him:
"After you go back, you still need to observe it yourself! If there is anything unusual, report it at any time!"

The man took the order to go, he was originally a handyman in the official post, but he was assigned by Tian Qi to get close to Yang Hu on purpose.

But actually?How could Yang Hu not understand the doorway here?Therefore, it was also intentional to let him approach, and deliberately used him to spread the word.

……

Until late at night, the man quietly returned to Tian Mansion, and when asked by Tian Qi and Shu Niu, the man said:
"Returning to the two adults, it seems that Yang Hu has a lot of connections in Ju State! It is said that Ju State and Lu State have always been at odds, but Yang Hu has always intended to make friends with them before! His purpose, I am afraid, is to Today we can have an extra retreat!"

"And he also said that this is the usual practice of the Lu people. Lu people often go to Ju country when they are in trouble. For example, when Qingfu was celebrating his father, he finally went to Ju country."

"So, from his point of view, it seems that going to Ju Country is quite safe!"

Tian Qi couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words:

"Hmm...it must be so! This Yang Hu... really left a way out for himself! Fortunately, he didn't take immediate action against him at that time."

However, Shu Niu still feels a little strange about this:
"However... Father Qing went to Ju country back then, but after the people from Lu bribed Ju people, father Qing couldn't escape his life in the end. If you say so... Isn't it true that the conspiracy with Yang Hu Contradictory?"

"How could Yang Hu not know about Qingfu in the past? Today's situation is not as good as Qingfu's. Why is he so sure about it?"

"Among them... is there still fraud?"

The man heard Shu Niu's question, but he could only shake his head and say:
"The villain's status is low, and he is just a handyman in the official post. I really don't know the authenticity of it..."

At this time, Tian Qi was getting a little impatient, and in his eyes, Yang Hu's move was extremely obvious.

Moreover, all the clues can also be matched.

So, he just waved his hand and replied:
"Okay! They are all useless people! Let's get back!"

Hearing Tian Qi's words, the handyman didn't dare to say any more, and immediately retreated obediently.

After the handyman left, Tian Qi said to Shu Niu in a bad mood:

"No matter what, Yang Hu can't be allowed to go to the east! Since he wants to go to the east, then we will specifically deny him his wish and send him to the west! Let's see how he can go to the country of Ju!"

Shu Niu wanted to say more, but at this time Tian Qi had already ordered, and he ordered people to prepare the carriage immediately.Tomorrow morning, Yang Hu will be escorted to Xibi in Qi State.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Hu was escorted into the carriage.Just in case, Tian Qi personally escorted him to the city, and asked the escorting general to pay special attention.

After Yang Hu's carriage left, Tian Qi returned to the mansion, everything was normal.

Until noon at ten o'clock, I heard that Shu Niu, who had just returned from the official post, suddenly thought of something at this moment, and came directly to Xun Tian to beg for words:
"No, no! Just now, the villain went to the official post to check, but found that Yang Hu's trip, there are quite a few things missing in the official post!"

Tian Qi looked at Shu Niu very strangely, and looked at him in confusion:
"Oh! What's missing?"

"Yang Hu left this time, in addition to the people around him, he brought several cartloads of belongings! But this time, those belongings are not in the previous mansion, and I don't know where they went?!"

Shu Niu's question was not unreasonable, Tian Qi thought about it for a while, Tian Yanghu indeed brought a lot of things, big and small, but now he can't see any of them.

"So what? Maybe he spent too much in the past few days, and he squandered it all?"

Shu Niu shook his head, and thought about it carefully for a while.

Then, he suddenly exclaimed again:

"Oh no! We were all fooled! Hurry up! Go catch up with Yang Hu! Xibi in Qi State is where Yang Hu wants to go!"

-

Chapter 613
Tian Qi was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Shu Niu with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that Tian Qi didn't believe him, Shu Niu quickly analyzed with him:
"This matter... I'm afraid it's not simple! Yang Hu's actions have always been unexpected! Presumably he must have used these properties to bribe many people around him. Among them, the handyman is naturally included! This person, too It must have been bought by him!"

Tian Qi heard the words, although he was a little dubious, but just to be on the safe side, he immediately ordered people to chase after Yang Hu.

At the same time, the handyman was also captured and tortured and interrogated him.

However, after all, Yang Hu has already gone for a long time, and it is not so easy to catch up with them.

And that handyman was also a misfortune, and almost lost half of his life because of it.

But in the end, he never said that he was bribed, only that he had always told the truth.

Shu Niu was so anxious that he interrogated the slave himself, but the result was still the same.

This made Shu Niu a little puzzled for a while, thinking to himself:
"Could it be... I really worry too much?"

When they were all confused, on the second day, the general who was chasing Yang Hu rushed back and said:
"My lord, Yang Hu has escaped..."

When Tian Qi heard the words, he couldn't help being furious, and went up against the crime!

"Mere Yang Hu, how dare you do this! Could it be that he can escape his shell? With so many guards escorting him, how could he escape so easily?"

At this moment, the sergeant in charge of escorting Yang Hu was naked to the waist, kneeling outside, pleading guilty.

The general who was in charge of chasing Yang Hu couldn't help but panic when he saw Tian Qi furious.But when he heard his question, he didn't dare not answer, so he had no choice but to bow down and reply submissively:

"The carriage that escorted Yang Hu... had saw marks on the axle and wheels. So... after only half a day of walking, it was all broken! The carriage overturned, and Yang Hu took advantage of the chaos to escape. The horse goes away. And we... are not good at walking horses, so we can't catch up!"

While Tian Qi was listening, he couldn't help but widen his eyes:
"Where did those carriages come from?"

Shu Niu replied:

"They are all carriages in the city!"

Tian Qi shouted:
"Check! Check it out for me, what's wrong!"

Shu Niu led the way and left.

The carriages used to escort Yang Hu this time were actually the carriages in the city.As Tian Qi never asked about such minute matters, his subordinates took care of them on his behalf.

Over time, many people knew about which car company the Tian family would use in Linzi.And it has been done like this before, and there has never been a similar situation, so this practice has been followed to this day.

After some in-depth investigation, Shu Niu discovered that Yang Hu had rented these carriages when he was wandering around a few days ago.

It turned out that Yang Hu rented all these carriages first, and ordered people to saw their axles and wheels, and then tie them with hemp rope before returning them.

In this case, these carriages naturally cannot travel much distance, and they will break.

When Tian Qi learned the truth, he couldn't help but snapped at the desk suddenly, and roared angrily:
"Careless! Careless! Ben Qing underestimated this Yang Hu. I thought he was just a brave and foolish person, but I didn't expect that he was tricked by him in the end!"

Shu Niu also knew that most of Yang Hu had already escaped from the Qi Kingdom at this moment, and might even be about to enter the Jin Kingdom!

"My lord, Yang Hu seems to be unable to chase him back! This time...we have all been fooled by this person!"

Tian Qi said:

"This person is able to make waves in the Lu country, it is really extraordinary! It is my carelessness... Shu Niu, is there a remedy now?"

Hearing Tian Qi's question, Shu Niu could only keep silent for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Hey... the matter has come to this point, I am afraid there is no other way to think about it."

……

After Sun Wu sent Yanghu into Qi State, he returned to Qufu to report to Li Ran.

Li Ran heard that Yang Hu went to Qi State to persuade Qihou to attack Lu State, but he was noncommittal about it.

He understood that Yang Hu's intention for this move was not to really want Qi and Lu to resume the war, but to deliberately revenge Fan Yang.

On this point, both Yang Hu and him are tacit understanding.

Today, of course, Li Ran has understood Fan Yang's intentions, and he also knows that he is going to put the focus of the dark walkers on Qi State in all likelihood.

And making the world gradually get rid of the control of the Jin State, and leaving the world in a chaotic state of disorder is the first step of their plan!
Only in this way, can they, the power ministers all over the world, have the possibility to truly control the world!
And Yang Hu's move obviously wanted to use the state of Lu to defeat Fan Yang's big game of chess before his death.

After all, when playing chess with a master, you must not use normal thinking to deal with it.

As for Yang Hu's move, it's not surprising that he played this move.However, Li Ran was not optimistic about whether he could succeed.

After all, Tian Qi's power in Qi is not insignificant, and Qi Hou Chujiu can't do things on his own, so it is probably impossible for Yang Hu to join Qi Mianjun this time and rely on Qi Hou to succeed?

"Hehe, if Yang Hu goes to Qi, he will probably fail to achieve great things. Not only that, but he will encounter another difficulty!"

Hearing what Li Ran said, Sun Wu could only shake his head, not knowing how to answer.

After all, Sun Wu is really not very good at playing these tricks.

"Forget it...whether Yang Hu can get out of this danger, now it can only depend on his own ability."

Afterwards, Li Ran changed his mind and said to Sun Wu:
"By the way! Changqing, you probably don't know yet, right? Kong Zhongni is now in the position of chief commander and taking charge of the state of Lu!"

When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help being surprised again:
"Oh? It's so fast?! Mister's plan really worked?"

Li Ran couldn't help but nodded:
"Well, as expected before, the three Huan now have their own difficulties and have no time to take care of state affairs. And Kong Qiu has a close relationship with the Sanhuan, and as the governor of the Central Capital, he has always been valued by the public office. Zhong Ni was Appointing Lu Xiang is naturally a matter of course."

After Sun Wu heard this, he suddenly said to Li Ran half-jokingly:
"Hehe, if that's the case, I'm afraid that the master will not be able to get away from Xinglin for a while?! These disciples of Kong Zhongni, it seems that the master has bothered too much. Brother Zhongni is probably beyond the reach of the whip! "

Li Ran turned his head and looked at Sun Wu. In fact, he understood what Sun Wu said.

The implication of his words is that he is afraid that Li Ran won't be able to get away?In fact, what Sun Wu said was to hope that Li Ran would not lose his ambition.

After all, in Sun Wu's view, blindly living in seclusion in Xinglin is not what a seven-foot man should do at all.

Since Li Ran still has aspirations for the world, how can he care about this square inch every day?

Li Ran and Sun Wu smiled, then shook their heads to show their helplessness.

……

A few days later, Li Ran was giving lectures to some disciples of Confucius in Xinglin. In fact, these were all the new disciples that Confucius had recruited not long ago.

During the professor's time, he saw Fan Li running over suddenly and stood at the door for a while, but he didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Li Ran asked calmly:
"Uncle Shao, what's the matter? Just come in!"

Fan Li glanced left and right at these fifteen or sixteen-year-old youths, then hurried in, and said:
"Sir, Yang Hu really hit a wall in Qi State, but it is said that he escaped from Qi State by means of tricks, and now he has arrived in Jinyang, and the special agent came to tell us!"

Li Ran nodded, and responded:
"Okay! Got it..."

After Fan Li withdrew, Li Ran was about to continue teaching when he heard a childish voice asking:
"Disciple Yan Hui, dare to ask sir, how does sir evaluate Yang Hu?"

Hearing this, Li Ran smiled slightly, closed "Spring and Autumn", and asked rhetorically

"Oh? But I don't know what insight Ziyuan has?"

Yan Hui, whose name is Ziyuan, is only 15 years old now, and he has just joined Confucius, but he speaks without arrogance or impetuosity:

"The disciple's experience is still very inexperienced, so I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to comment on this person, but the respected teacher once said, 'Accompanying ministers to carry out the country's orders, the third generation hopes to lose it'. If you say this, Yang Hu's danger to the world should be Great is it!"

Li Ran looked at the young man in front of him with interest, and continued:
"Yang Hu has his faults, but...you can't generalize them!"

All the disciples couldn't help whispering to each other when they heard the words.But Yan Hui was even more puzzled and said:

"Oh? Does this person have merit?"

Li Ran nodded in agreement, and replied seriously:
"As the saying goes, 'A family with a thousand pieces of gold, its son is unkind'. What is the reason for this? It is because everyone in the world is eager for quick success. Even a wise king like Duke Huan of Qi would fight for the country and kill his brother. The root cause is, It’s nothing more than because the temptation of interests is too great to be refused.”

"It's still like this between brothers, but what about between ministers and masters? They are not relatives of brothers. If they can rely on the merits of robbery to make themselves own a state of ten thousand chariots and enjoy great benefits, then among the ministers, But who is not Yang Hu?"

　original:
　　The Marquis of Qi held the Yanghu and sent it to the east.Yanghu wished to go east, but he imprisoned all the west.Borrow the carts of the people in the city, carve their axles, and return home after making an appointment.Cong Ling was carried, slept in it and fled.If you chase it, you will be imprisoned in Qi.He fled with Cong Ling, went to Song Dynasty, and then went to Jin Dynasty, suitable for Zhao family.

　　-"Zuo Zhuan"

　　Or say: In a family of rich gold, its son is unkind, and people are anxious for money.Duke Huan, above the fifth uncle, fought for the state and killed his elder brother, which benefited greatly.Between ministers and masters, they are not relatives of brothers.The merit of robbing and killing is to control ten thousand vehicles and enjoy great benefits, so which of the officials is not Yanghu?Things are accomplished with ingenuity, and defeated with carelessness.The group of ministers did not get into trouble, and they did not have the equipment.All the ministers have the heart of a tiger, but the emperor doesn't know it, it's a small but coincidental.Yanghu is greedy for the world and wants to attack the world, which is lax and clumsy.It is the opposite of what Bao Wenzi said not to make Jinggong punish the clever ministers of Qi, but to punish the clumsy tiger.The loyalty and deceit of a minister lies in what the king does.If the monarch is bright and strict, the officials will be loyal; if the monarch is cowardly and dark, the officials will be deceitful.To know little is to be clear, to be without salvation is to be strict.Isn't it presumptuous to punish Lu for chaos without knowing Qi's skillful ministers?
　　--"Han Fei"
