I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 534 Chapter 641 Chapter 642 Take down Liyi!The opening scene of Sandu
Si Chi and Hou Zuo raised the curtain of the car, only to see a few men in leather armor standing at the gate of the city, blocking their way.

But the soldiers guarding the city were all looking down from the city wall at this moment. The scene was silent, and everyone held torches and watched them there.

Obviously, they were also at a loss.

Hou Zuo jumped off the carriage and bowed in salute.

"Everyone, since I have decided to run away, I would like to ask for your convenience!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly said:

"Master Hou wants to leave, we will not stop him."

"But now we are ready to surrender to the Uncle Sun, and you are still wearing Uncle Sun's leather helmets. If the Uncle Sun comes to justice in the future, I am afraid that the villain will not be able to bear it!"

"Your Excellency also knows that Uncle Sun may not have any affection for us now, so why don't we dare to stop serving them carefully?"

"Please don't embarrass us, Mr. Hou, and return the leather helmet you are wearing."

Si Chi also got down from the carriage at this time. Seeing this, Hou Peng stepped forward to help him. After Si Chi stood still, he opened his mouth and said:

"Why did you go so far? Although we have worn out a few pairs of armor, it is only to prevent the bandits when we go out, and the leather armor we wear does not have the imprint of Uncle Sun, so what Will it bring trouble to you? It is clear that you are making trouble and deliberately making things difficult for you!"

At this time, another person in the crowd said:
"No, absolutely not! You have to be sure before you let it out! Otherwise, if Uncle Sun really blames it, wouldn't we be bad?!"

No wonder, after all, these Chinese people are now afraid that the Uncle Sun will settle their accounts after autumn.Therefore, it is completely reasonable to treat Hou Zuo and others so coldly and unreasonably.

And Hou criminal couldn't help but feel anxious at this time.After all, the army of the State of Lu is now stationed not far from the city. Once they know the situation here, they will definitely send someone to take over Liyi immediately.

At that time, if Hou Zuo wanted to run away again, he might not even have the chance.

Seeing Hou Zuo's eagerness, Si Chi opened his mouth and said:

"My lord, why don't you go first, I'll stay and count things, just as Li Nao's family has not yet arrived! Chi can wait for them!"

Hou Peng took Si Chi's hand and said:
"This...brother Chi... you defected to me, but you still put brother Chi in danger. It's just...what should you do if people from Lu come?"

Si Chi originally wanted to have a showdown with Hou Zuo, but seeing Hou Zuo's sincerity towards him, he couldn't bear it:
"Brother criminal, it's rare for you and me to get to know each other once. Since today's situation is like this, let Chi Wei do some more things for brother criminal! Please leave quickly, brother criminal, the Lu people already hate you To the bone, if you stay here for a moment longer, it will be more dangerous. My Si Chi is from a humble background, so there is nothing to worry about, brother criminal, you don't have to worry about Chi."

Hou Yuan was not without emotion and said:
"Brother Chi, the one who commits this crime will take the first step, and I hope that Brother Chi can catch up as soon as possible!"

Si Chi couldn't help crying, he even felt a little sorry for him.

However, he changed his mind again, if Hou Zuo had been stubbornly resisting, his final outcome would not be good.

And it will bring even greater harm to Lu State and even the world.

Now that Hou Zuo is able to flee to Qi State, maybe the rest of his life will be flat, but it is still a good ending.

For the righteousness in his heart, Si Chi did not hesitate to injure himself, put his family members in danger, and even sacrificed the righteousness of his friends. Is it all worth it?
The answer may be different.

But for Si Chi, obviously he thinks it's worth it.

Hou made the carriage and bid farewell to him.

And Si Chi stayed to count the leather armor. After releasing the Marquis and his family members, as well as the soldiers who were willing to follow the Marquis, Si Chi closed the city gate.

As for Li Na, she said she was going to escort Si Chi's wife and children, but in fact she took them out of the residence and came to a safe place in Liyi for resettlement.

But Li Ren and Si Chi waited calmly for the arrival of Lu Ren.

……

At daybreak, Uncle Sun's army really came, and the gates of Liyi opened in response.

Uncle Sun and Kong Qiu finally took down the hard bone of Liyi as they wished.

Confucius came here specially to deal with the funeral, in fact, this was also to prevent the Uncle Sun from entering the city alone and fearing ill will towards the Qi people.

Therefore, as the great Sikou, Kong Qiu must come to "reconcile" this matter.

And Li Ran, escorted by Gong Eryue and Chu Dang, also entered Deyi together.

After all, this is the first victory of their so-called "Sandu Plan".

Although the progress was not smooth for a time because of Hou Zuo's persistence, but fortunately, the result was good after all.

Kong Qiu and Li Ran entered the residence of the governor, and Zilu has now become the governor of the Ji clan, so this time he came here to represent the Ji clan and to check the situation in Liyi together.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Li Ran said:

"Although this action has suffered some twists and turns, but fortunately there is no danger, and such a commotion is a good thing!"

Hearing what Li Ran said, Kong Qiu couldn't help asking:
"Oh? Why did benefactor say such a thing?"

Li Ran smiled slightly and said:
"If the difficulty in Liyi is too easy, how can Shusun Zhouchou make up his mind to fall down the city wall of Liyi? And how can the Meng family and Ji family see the imminent danger! Hehe, the two of them The family should be feeling uneasy right now, right?"

Kong Qiu nodded:

"What Engong said is true. In fact, Ji Sunsi had even found Qiu before, expressing his concern about Gongshan's dissatisfaction. Next... Should we attack Fei Yi?"

Zilu said:

"Master Ji Sun also said this to Zhong You. Zhong You was noncommittal at the beginning, but later, according to the wishes of Master and Mr., he analyzed Fei Yi's danger for him. Although Master Ji Sun has not yet Make up your mind, but it's obviously shaken!"

Confucius also seemed quite excited when he heard what his disciple said:
"Very good! Now it is imperative to demolish the city walls of Liyi. Then, it will be the turn of Ji's Feiyi and Meng's Chengyi!"

"And if we talk about the urgency, it is naturally more urgent on the Ji clan's side. After all, the rebellion of the housekeeper has happened many times in the history of the Ji clan. Only in Feiyi, there has been Nan Nan before." Kuai’s lessons learned from the past. In addition, Zilu is now Ji’s butcher, so if you want to convince Ji Sunsi about this matter, it is not difficult to think about it!”

Obviously, Kong Qiu's confidence in the prospects of Lu State has greatly increased.

Confucius always believed that once the "Three Capitals of Qin" could be successfully used to weaken the power of Sanhuan.Then, the pain and tribulation of Lu State that lasted for five lifetimes will also be gone forever.

And he, Confucius, might really be able to revive the rule of the Zhou Rites in this ancient oriental homeland!
And he, Kong Qiu and Kong Zhongni, can shine in the annals of history because of this!
"Hey... If the first king had a spirit in the sky, he would have felt extremely gratified to see such a scene!"

At this time, Confucius thought of Duke Zhao of Lu, who had shown him kindness, and who was able to risk his life in order to get rid of the checks and balances of the San Huan.

Every time Confucius thought about his death in a foreign land, and suffered all kinds of humiliation, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing Kong Qiu like this, Li Ran suddenly felt sad.

After all, Li Ran is obviously more complicated than Kong Qiu when it comes to his feelings for Lu Zhaogong.

What's more, he couldn't help but think of his dead wife Ji Le, and his good brother Xiao Yi.

Seeing this, Zilu didn't lose his time and said:

"Zhong You is going to check around and report the situation in Liyi to Ji Sunsi!"

Kong Qiu came back to his senses, and nodded with his big disciple:

"Well, let's go, Zhong You!"

Zilu bowed his hands and retreated, and then Kong Qiu and Li Ran received Si Chi and Li Luo one after another.The two of them can be said to have contributed a lot to winning Liyi this time.

Kong Qiu also said that he would find a suitable opportunity to commend his achievements in front of the king and reward them both well.

Li Nao readily agreed and thanked him separately.

But Si Chi declined immediately.He only wishes for the rest of his life to live in peace with his family and not to care about worldly affairs.

After all, if Si Chi is for glory and wealth, how can he get over the hurdle in his heart?
Both Kong Qiu and Li Ran knew what he was thinking, so they naturally agreed with him.

As for Si Chi, he led his family and left Liyi together, and disappeared...

Afterwards, after Kong Qiu and Li Ran appeased the people in Liyi, Shusun Zhouchou led Shusun's private army into Liyi.

In fact, this is also the first time he has been able to come to Liyi for inspection after he succeeded the suzerain.

Inspecting this area, the "homeland" where he should have arrived long ago.

And when he was about to enter the city, looking at the tall city wall from a distance, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought...

Chapter 642

Yousi of Qi State, after being driven out of the city by the people of Liyi, returned to Qi State in disgrace and returned to his life.

But Qi Hou Chujiu, who heard the news, couldn't help being furious, and suddenly slapped the table, and the objects on the table were shocked.

Seeing that the cooked duck flew away, he was extremely dissatisfied with it.

In the main hall, all the ministers of the Qi State dared not say anything, only Tian Qi spoke from the side and said:

"Your Majesty, after all, the Marquis Prisoner came from a humble background. Although he has the skill of defending the city, his thinking is too simple. I heard that he has recently voted for our country of Qi, and has already entered the country!"

Qihou Chujiu stared.

"Hmph! This kid actually has the face to vote for him? He really is shameless! What is the use of him coming to the Qi Kingdom now? It's better to let him directly execute himself and die!"

Guoxia heard the words and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to kill those who come to join us..."

Of course Qihou Chujiu knew this, and what he said was just a complaint because he didn't get Liyi.

"Hmph! How can I not know? If you kill him, you may lose the world's best talents in the future! However, he is so incompetent that I will lose Liyi. This person has no merit, so how can I not be annoyed?"

"Forget it! Let him find a place to live here! I don't want to see this person!"

Hearing that Marquis Qi was furious, the hall was silent for a moment.

I only heard Tian Qi say again at this time:

"Your Majesty, Hou Zuo is certainly incompetent, but Liyi is far away from Qi, so it would not be a pity to lose it."

"I think that the current enemy is Kong Zhongni! Since Kong Zhongni took power in the Lu Kingdom, the people of the Lu Kingdom have been united, and now he has regained Liyi for the Uncle Sun, and the hearts of the three Huan are united. With the help of Li Ran and Li Ziming, I am afraid that the National Assembly of Lu will become Qi's confidant in the future!"

Hearing this, Marquis Qi looked at the officials in the hall and couldn't help sighing:

"It's all about you and others who misunderstood me...then Confucius could have been so capable. If I had been able to keep it for the country of Qi, how would it be where it is today?!"

When Tian Qi heard the words, he heard that Qihou Chujiu seemed to have complaints, so he hurriedly continued to say:
"Kong Zhongni is indeed quite capable. And that Li Ziming is a genius who can shake the world by himself! Now that powerful nations are neighbors, Your Majesty needs to make early plans."

Qihou Chujiu frowned.

"Oh? How are you going to prepare?"

Tian Qi thought for a while, then said:

"You can directly write a letter to the Lu State, saying that your majesty wants to meet with Lu Hou to discuss the major issues of the two countries. In recent years, Qi and Lu have turned against each other, and the wars have not continued. It is definitely not a good thing for the people of the two countries. If Lu Hou does not Dare to see, that is the fault of Marquis Lu!"

"At that time, when the teacher asks about the crime, the teacher will be famous! But if Lu Hou is willing to meet, we should put our Qi country's interests first with Lu Hou and make him sign an alliance, so that Lu country will be attached to our Qi country!"

When Qihou Chujiu heard this, he was silent for a while.

At this time, Guoxia said:

"Although it is said that Qilu has had constant disputes in the past few years, most of them are just small fights, and most of them are nothing in the end."

"Doing this...would hurt the harmony between the two countries. It would be inappropriate to provoke Marquis Lu by provoking something like this!"

Tian Qi narrowed his eyes:
"What's wrong? Is it possible that Qi State is still afraid of Lu State?"

Qihou Chujiu also let out a long sigh:
"It's just... Ruolu Kingdom still refuses to submit to our Qi Kingdom, but what can we do?"

After all, Qihou Chujiu was old, and although he was ambitious, he had no courage.

If it really came to the time to fight Lu Guo for life and death, he would inevitably back down again.

Tian Qi knew very well what Qihou Chujiu was thinking, and said immediately:

"Your Majesty wants to plan for the world, and the State of Lu is an insurmountable gully for our State of Qi. Now, besides Li Ziming to help, Kong Zhongni also has many disciples who are responsible for their own needs. Zhong You, Min Ziqian and others, They are all great talents who can stand on their own. There is also Duanmuci, who is even more of a businessman's genius."

"Once the State of Lu becomes stronger under the control of Kong Zhongni, even if it does not appear today, it may endanger the future of our State of Qi! Your Majesty must not pass this disaster on to future generations!"

Hearing this, Qihou Chujiu couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Well... what Tian Qing said is true, I will give Lu Hou Xiu a copy of the edict. Whether you come or not, it depends on whether Lu Hou has the guts!"

Qi Hou Chujiu ordered people to draw up an imperial edict on the spot, and invited him to come to the Qi Nationality Alliance in the tone of the country of the uncle.

But just at the beginning, Qihou Chujiu raised his head and asked:
"It's just... where is the best place to meet?"

In fact, Tian Qi had already made up his mind about this, and said:

"Jiagu is located between Qi and Lu, your majesty can choose this place to form an alliance with Luhou!"

When Qihou Chujiu heard the words, he hesitated a little:
"Where?... That's where the Lai people are..."

Tian Qi said without thinking:
"The Lai people have already been surrendered by the Qi State, so what is there to worry about?"

Tian Qi's tone was impatient, Qi Hou Chujiu was slightly taken aback, although he heard it, he was not angry, he only said:

"Okay, let's make it in Jiagu!"

As Qihou Chujiu said, he ordered someone to draw up an imperial edict, stamped it with the seal of Qihou, and sent envoys to the country of Lu.

……

After the court, Tian Qi returned to the mansion and summoned Shu Niu to discuss matters.

Shu Niu didn't know what was going on, so he rushed to salute and asked:

"What are your orders?"

I saw Tian Qi stroking his beard quite proudly:
"Not long ago, you proposed to let your lord meet Lu Hou, and I have already discussed it in the court meeting. Your lord has sent an edict to the state of Lu, and the place is set at Jiagu!"

"Shu Niu, you can arrange it and get ready!"

Shu Niu's eyes lit up, but he quickly calmed down:
"Where is Nalu Country...?"

Tian Qi couldn't help but sneered:
"Heh, it's not that they won't come if they don't want to. Now Qi State is the leader of Jindong alliance. If you don't obey this edict, Qi State will be famous as a teacher at that time, and we will discuss Lu State together with Wei and Zheng!"

"But if they dare to come... then they can hold Marquis Lu hostage on the spot, subdue Kong Qiu and Li Ranshi together, and take them to Qi State as hostages. In this way, the world can be settled!"

After hearing this, Shu Niu was a little unclear:
"Oh? How did your lord expect Li Ran to come?"

Tian Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said disdainfully:
"Hehe, how can I be ignorant of people? Li Ran has appeared in Liyi, and is also my old enemy, and now that I am going to Jiagu, why won't he come?"

"Li Ran, this person, I only heard his name before, and it's the first time that I'm facing an enemy head-on. Hehe, it's just a chance to see his ability!"

Speaking of the dark walkers, Shu Niu has actually followed many people, from Feng Duan to Ji Sun Yiru, and then to Fan Yang.But Tian Qi in front of him gave him a different feeling.

First of all, Tian Qi's reputation in Qi State is excellent.He is neither like Feng Duan and the others who compete with the people for profit, nor is he arrogant and sharp like Fan Yang.

Therefore, the common people supported Tian Qi, and Qihou Chujiu trusted Tian Qi very much.Only at this specific time, Tian Qi's hidden murderous aura will be revealed.

Secondly, Tian Qi's control over people's hearts is indeed better.

When Shu Niu heard the words, he immediately replied:

"Since that's the case, my little one will go to Jiagu and get ready!"

Tian Qi waved his hand again, stopped him and said:
"It's not urgent, let's wait for the news from Marquis Lu."

Afterwards, Tian Qi raised his eyebrows again, and said:

"Go and call Li Hoe."

Shu Niu went out immediately and called Li Hoe.

Li hoe is also a doctor of the state of Qi, but he has hooked up with Tian beggar and has become Tian beg's lackey.

As a matter of fact, there are definitely not a few high-ranking officials like Li Ho who have become field beggars in the whole country of Qi.

After all, on the one hand, Tian Qi is a big celebrity in the dynasty.On the other hand, Tian Qi's money-making ability is by no means invincible.

Li Hui came and saluted him, Tian Qi asked:
"Li Hoe, what do you think of Kong Zhongni of the State of Lu?"

When Li Ho heard Tian Qi ask him this question, he immediately clapped his hands and replied:
"Kong Zhongni is just a Confucian scholar. He knows propriety but has no courage. He is nothing at all. At that time, the emperor wanted to use him heavily, but later he regretted it, but this person dared not say a word for himself. From this, it can be seen that this person is really Insufficient!"

"However, now this person is in charge of the Lu Kingdom, or is an enemy of our Qi Kingdom. My lord should plan it as soon as possible, so as to avoid future troubles!"
