I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 544 Chapter 657 Chapter 658

After Qihou Chujiu said these words, the youngest son Tu immediately bowed down and knelt down on the ground:
"My son will definitely live up to my father's love, and I will work harder in the future to assist my father with all the ministers, so as to achieve the hegemony of my country of Qi!"

Qihou Chujiu stroked his beard, and was very satisfied with his youngest son's answer, even a little proud.

Guo Xia, Gao Zhang and the others also showed joy on their faces.

Only Tian Qi had a fierce look in his eyes.

However, because he lowered his head, everyone present did not notice it.

Qihou Chujiu turned his head again at this time, but asked Tianqi with a smile:
"Tian Qing, I want to make Tu'er the crown prince, what do you think?"

In this situation, even if Tian Qi had 1 unwilling people, he could not speak out.Otherwise, he will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

So, he immediately knelt down on the ground again as Jishou, and immediately expressed his position:

"The young master is intelligent. He has been following the king for these years. He has a wide range of knowledge and uses both kindness and power. He can be regarded as the king of a country! Since the king likes the young master, the minister naturally agrees! The minister thinks that this matter should be announced to the world. , let the world know, and choose the right time to hold the canonization ceremony!"

When Qihou Chujiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing loudly:

"Tian Qing, your words have won the hearts of the widow! The widow is very pleased. After that, I will have to rely on Tian Qing to help Tu'er a lot!"

Tian Qi said:
"I will devote myself to my lord to repay your lord's kindness! We, the Tian clan, will also do our best to serve your lord and your son!"

Qihou Chujiu looked at the youngest Zitu, and felt that now his career has successors, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

Gradually, the failure of the Jiagu meeting was forgotten.

After retiring from the imperial court, Tian Qi kept silent all the way back to the mansion.

After returning to the mansion, after retreating left and right, he entered a secret room alone.Then, he suddenly kicked on the screen to vent his anger!
The screen also fell to the ground in response, at this moment Shu Niu was waiting in the secret room, seeing this situation, he hurriedly got up and asked:

"Master Tian is so angry...could it be that the Marquis of Qi insisted on returning Lu's land?"

Tian Qi glanced at Shu Niu, and couldn't help but said angrily:

"Three places, it doesn't matter! The key is that young master Tu!"

The brows of the buffalo raised their eyebrows.

"Could it be... this son defied the Lord above the court?"

Tian Qi snorted coldly, and punched the table again:
"If it's a rebellion in words, it's fine, the key is that the old man actually canonized him as the prince!"

When Shu Niu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and asked in amazement:
"Oh? It's just... how can this son be established as the crown prince because he is neither a direct descendant nor an elder?"

Tian Qi said angrily:

"It's not because of the old man's love! Besides, he talked eloquently in the court today, and he made me speechless! This kid... If he really succeeds to the throne in the future, I'm afraid it will be impossible. A good life without this minister is over!"

After hearing the words, Shu Niu agreed after thinking for a while:
"This son is indeed too much. At that time, I am afraid that not only the adults will have a difficult end, but the entire Tian family will...will..."

Shu Niu didn't dare to say anything, but even if he didn't say it, Tian Qi knew what would happen.

When it really comes to that time, the entire Tian family may be doomed!

Thinking of this, Tian Qi couldn't help but shudder.

"No!... Never let this happen!"

At this time, Shu Niu rolled his eyes again, stepped forward, and continued:
"Hehe, since Marquis Qi likes Young Master Tu, then Young Master Yang Sheng is a delicate son, why don't you communicate with Young Master Yang Sheng first?"

When Tian Qi heard the words, he pondered again, and suddenly realized:
"That's right! You can't mess yourself up now! Benqing... I'm going to find Young Master Yangsheng now!"

Tian Qiben is also a resourceful person, because he lost three pieces of land first, and his son Tu, who hated him the most, became the heir apparent of Qi.Therefore, this made him so angry that he couldn't think about so much anymore.

But now, after being reminded by Shu Niu, he realized that he really had to plan something in advance.

Otherwise, if Shao Zitu really inherits the throne in the future, then their Tian family's ending will be doomed to be extremely tragic.

That's right, among the ministers of power in this era, there are very few whose families are able to get better in the end.

The Que family, Luan family, Zhao family of Jin State, and many powerful officials in other small countries, as well as Cui Zhu and Qing Feng of Qi State, are all real cases.

No matter how powerful your family is for a while, no matter how outstanding achievements it has made, it seems that it will be liquidated by it in the long river of history.

This seems to be the "eternal fate of the powerful officials" in this era.

And isn't the purpose of the dark walkers born to fight against this fate?
Now, Tian Qi is the leader of the dark walkers, so naturally, he vows to reverse this "fate of the minister of power"!
Tian Qi immediately went to look for the son Yangsheng, who was the eldest son of Qihou Chujiu.

To say that this Qihou Chujiu is really able to live, now his eldest son is already in his 40s in a blink of an eye.

Because he was not liked by Qi Hou Chujiu, the young master Yang Sheng also lived in anxiety like years.

After Young Master Yang Sheng learned that his younger brother, Shao Zi Tu, was about to be established as the crown prince, he was even more anxious now.

As soon as he saw Tian Qi, he quickly saluted and said:

"Master Tian, ​​save me!"

Tian Qi hurriedly supported Young Master Yang Sheng, and told all the servants to retreat, and then said:

"My lord's great gift, wouldn't it break the veteran?"

I saw Young Master Yang Sheng bursting into tears:
"I heard that your lord also supported your father and made your younger brother the crown prince? Could it be that your lord has forgotten his previous promise?"

It turns out that Tian Qi has been secretly supporting Young Master Yang Sheng.Obviously, in order to allow the Tian clan to continue, Tian Qi secretly recruited Qihou's eldest son, son Yangsheng.

Moreover, he once said in front of Young Master Yang Sheng that he would strive to win the crown prince for him in front of Qi Hou Chujiu.

Who knows, at this time Tian Qi also sighed and said:
"The situation at that time was the only way for the old minister to prevent your majesty from being suspicious!"

When Young Master Yangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but said anxiously:

"Then...then what should I do?"

Tian Qi frowned, looking extremely difficult:

"Young master, forgive me for speaking bluntly. As the monarch of the kingdom of thousands of chariots, Marquis Qi disregarded you, the eldest son, and set up another young son! I am afraid that in order to prevent future troubles, it will be detrimental to the son! The reason why the old minister is in court The above supports Young Master Tu, one is to prevent Qi Hou from being suspicious of the old minister, and the other is to save the son's life for the time being!"

"Young Master is in an extremely dangerous situation now. Even if Marquis Qi can accommodate you, I'm afraid your younger brother will never be kind to you!"

"Young Master, don't you know the story of Duke Huan of Qi's quarrel with his elder brother, Young Master?"

Tian Qi used the black history of Duke Huan of Qi as an example, but Young Master Yang Sheng was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said:

"What Master Tian said is true! That's why... I'm asking you to help me!"

Tian Qi was silent for a while.

"Young Master, I'm afraid... you shouldn't be willing to give up the throne just like that, right?"

When Young Master Yang Sheng heard the words, he couldn't help feeling emotional, but after thinking about it, he said helplessly:

"Hey... even if I have such a heart now, I'm afraid it's impossible..."

Tian Qi smiled slightly, and whispered back to Young Master Yang Sheng:
"Young Master, now...the only way to ensure your life is to run away!"

When Young Master Yangsheng heard this, he was shocked again:
"Run away? How did this happen? Your father is still alive, so running away for no reason will not trap your father in righteousness?"

At this time, Tian Qi replied calmly:

"Young Master Xu, don't you hear the story of 'Shen Sheng is in danger inside, and Chong Er is safe outside'?"

When young master Yang Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but understand.Although still a little unwilling, but can only obey:

"Hey...it seems that's the only way..."

Tian Qi smiled mysteriously again:
"Please don't worry, young master, this action is just to save your life. When Qi Hou is a hundred years old, the old minister will definitely welcome you back safely, and you will inherit the great rule!"

Young Master Yang Sheng heard this, but he couldn't help but turn his worries into joy:

"Okay! With the words of my lord, I can rest assured, and then I will have to rely on my lord in the future!"

Tian Qi waved his hands and said:
"My son said this to offend the old minister, and the old minister is also thinking about the country of Qi. As the eldest son, the son should naturally inherit the throne. This is the common sense that has not changed since ancient times! Now that the king is determined to go his own way, this move is very important to him. In the future of our Qi Kingdom, it can be said that we will plant disasters!"

"Please don't delay, my lord, and leave Qi as soon as possible!"

Therefore, under the arrangement of Tian Qi, Young Master Yang Sheng left Qi State directly.

In fact, although Qi Hou Chujiu wanted to make his youngest son Tu the crown prince, he had no intention of doing any harm to his eldest son.

After all, no matter how much you don't like it, it's still your own son.

However, under Tian Qi's control, Young Master Yang Sheng simply ran away to Lai because he was afraid of being implicated.

Moreover, it was Hetian Qigoulian who made preparations for future power and usurpation.

After Tian Qi finished all this, he felt more confident in his heart.

At the corner of his mouth, there was another sly and undetectable smile.

Chapter 658_Revisiting the Rural School Assembly
Besides, Lu Housong finally returned to Qufu safely.

Both Kong Qiu and Li Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because they hurried along the way, regardless of the fatigue of the boat and the injuries on their bodies, so when Gong Eryue returned to Xinglin, she suffered a serious illness first.

Li Ran hurriedly asked the doctor to treat Gong Eryue. After taking the pulse, the doctor came out and said to Li Ran:

"Sir, don't worry. Ma'am is fine. She just suffered a minor injury, which couldn't be healed in time, and she was traveling all the way, so she suffered from the wind and cold. I will prescribe a prescription to protect her health a little bit!" "

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's enough work! Uncle, go get some consultation fees!"

Fan Li took a hanging knife coin and handed it to the doctor, who was not polite, took it, and then left after writing a prescription.

Li Ran entered the room and saw that Gong Eryue was sleeping soundly, while Guang'er was watching from the side. Li Ran didn't want to disturb Gong Eryue's rest, so he backed out.

At this time, after Kong Qiu settled down with Lu Hou Song, he also hurried to Xinglin.

Li Ran saw that he was in a hurry, and knew why he was here, so the two of them came to the living room immediately.

After Kong Qiu sat down, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"This Jiagu meeting is finally safe and sound. I heard that Miss Yue is sick? I don't know how the condition is?"

Li Ran shook his head and said:
"It's all right, just come and rest for a few days! Zhong Ni, I'm afraid you're here for the business of Sandu?"

When Confucius heard Li Ran straight to the point, he said without hesitation:
"That's right. We should have allowed Engong to rest for a few days, but now that the matter of falling into Liyi has been put on the agenda, there are still two cities that have not been moved. It was delayed for a long time by the Jiagu Huimeng. It's better to get it done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

Hearing this, Li Ran nodded and said:
"Well, it's just that this matter still needs to be taken care of. If it is forced, I'm afraid it will inevitably not be suspected by the Ji family."

"By the way, how does the Ji family think about demolishing the city wall of Feiyi? Did Zhong Ni hear Zilu mention it?"

Kong Qiu cupped his hands and explained:
"During the period when Zilu was the steward of the Ji clan, he noticed that Ji Sunsi was very dissatisfied with Gongshan's dissatisfaction, but he hadn't made up his mind to fall to Feiyi! After all, Feiyi is the main city of the Ji clan. If he falls like this, he is afraid that it will weaken the strength of their Ji Clan!"

"However, because of the lessons learned from Liyi, Ji Sunsi actually has the idea of ​​destroying the city wall of Feiyi now, but he is still hesitating!"

Li Ran nodded while listening:

"Well, this is expected. It seems... Jisun Si still needs to fill the fire!"

So, the two of them were silent for a long time, and then Kong Qiu could only shake his head and said:
"How about...Qiu let the emperor issue another edict? At the same time let the Shusun family and the Ji family fall to Liyi and Feiyi?"

Hearing this, Li Ran waved his hands in denial:

"No, now that Sanyi has not fallen, if we seize its voice again, it will definitely scare the snake! Although Shusun Zhouchou said that he is about to demolish Liyi, it can be used as a model, but we must not expose our intentions because of this!"

"Zhongni must remember that these three main towns are their own family affairs. Therefore, the only way to induce them to commit suicide is the best policy!"

Hearing what Li Ran said, Kong Qiu couldn't help but nodded, and continued to ask:

"Then... how should Ji Sunsi convince him?"

Li Ran lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said slowly:
"In a few days, there will be a township school assembly in the suburbs! You can let Zilu bring Ji Sunsi to participate, and Zhong Ni can arrange a disciple to lead the students to debate at the township school assembly to analyze the interests of Fei Yi In this way, Jisun Si may make up his mind!"

Kong Qiu frowned.

"Although this move is good, I'm afraid it will have little effect. After all, Ji Sunsi is the suzerain of the Ji family, so how could he listen to those little Confucian words? Even if he heard something, I'm afraid... it would be difficult to convince him ah!"

Li Ran listened, but smiled and said:
"Hehe, how can I not know this? This is just to brainwash him. After the township school assembly, I will talk to him in person again!"

When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help asking:

"Brainwashing? What is brainwashing?"

When Li Ran heard it, he knew that he had suddenly slipped his mouth, so he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing:
"Oh, this 'brainwashing' means to make people clear and muddled! A man of brains is the house of shrewdness. The so-called 'brainwashing' means to make people refreshed and bright."

Kong Qiu couldn't help but brighten up:
"Oh! So that's the case! Mr. En is really knowledgeable! Qiu has been taught again."

"If you say that, in the future, Qiu Yi and all his disciples will brainwash you a lot!"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but three black lines pulled down his face, and he had to smile with Kong Qiu in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

……

township assembly
In fact, the State of Lu has always had the habit of township and school assemblies.

Back then, when Li Ran fled from Luoyi to the Kingdom of Lu, before he could gain a firm foothold, it was because he happened to "speech wild words" at the township school assembly that he was favored by Prince Ye and Shusun Bao.

Coincidentally, in fact, it was later in the township school assembly that Confucius made his mark, and Meng Xizi discovered his talent, and then introduced him to Lu Zhaogong.

It can be said that this village gathering is a place where talents emerge in large numbers.

However, due to the power of the Ji family, relatively speaking, the Ji family never felt that this meeting was so great, it was nothing more than a gathering place for some unsatisfied students to make complaints about.

In the next few days, Qufu appeared to be very peaceful.

Gong Eryue's condition has been effectively treated, and now she is back to normal.

Gong Eryue got out of the house, and when she saw Li Ran again, she couldn't help laughing bitterly:
"I seem to be alive and well on weekdays, but I don't know why, but I always get sick. But you, who are so busy, have never seen you get sick a few times. It's really strange!"

Li Ran smiled lightly:
"Hehe, women are yin, so they are more likely to get sick. Besides, you were injured because you were trying to save me, and then you bumped all the way, so you got sick. It's still my fault."

Gong Eryue listened, but smiled sweetly, and replied with Li Ran:
"Hehe, Yue's duty is to protect the safety of the husband, so how can you blame it?"

Just as the two of them were talking like this, a voice suddenly came out from below them:
"Father, Erniang, there is a township school assembly outside today, do you want to go and see?"

At this time, Guang'er didn't know where it came from, and said such a sentence without thinking.

Guang'er is now ten years old, and although he is not yet slim, he is exquisitely carved.Especially those big black eyes, very watery.

Thanks to Li Guang's reminder, Li Ran remembered the township assembly.

Although this matter has been handed over to Kong Qiu, he will not need to take care of it for a while, but it is not bad to think that Guang'er has not gone out for a long time these days.

"Okay, since it's rare for Guang'er to be interested in this, let's go and have a look!"

Therefore, both Gong'eryue and Guang'er went back to the house and put on their veils, and entered the city with Li Ran.

The township school assembly was still held by the Xialiu River in Qufu City, and students from all over the country came to express their opinions there, and it was really lively.

Li Ran couldn't help but think of the situation back then, and couldn't help being sad.

He thought of Xiaoyi, Shusunbao, and even his mortal enemy Jisun Yiru back then, all of them have passed away now.

And the pretty Ji Le who watched him talking here at the beginning has also left him forever.

Li Ran looked back at Gong'eryue and Guang'er beside him, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.

This woman who looks like Ji Le, and the daughter who looks more and more like Ji Le, made Li Ran feel dazed again.

It was as if Ji Le had never left him!
"Sir, sir?..."

Gong Eryue's soft call brought Li Ran back to his senses, and forced a smile:

"Guang'er, this township school assembly may be a bit boring to you then, so don't make a fuss and leave?!"
