After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 145 Foresight
Before Mengdi could speak, Guoxia spoke again.

"As far as I know, the Meng family originated from the descendants of Emperor Zhuanxu of the Gaoyang family, who were enshrined in Mount Meng, so they took Meng as their surname. However, after so many years, people of the Meng family have spread all over the world. south."

"I just don't know what is the relationship between the doctor who is now King Chu Zhao, Meng Que, and you?"

Hearing this, Meng Di was also taken aback in his heart. He didn't expect that Guoxia would ask such a question at this time, which caught him off guard. In fact, the answer is not important.

The important thing is what does Guoxia want to know?Is it possible to suspect that he is a spy of Chu State?In an instant, Meng Di's mind turned and he pondered for a moment before answering.

"Meng is indeed from the state of Chu, but he wants to go back to Mount Meng. Is it possible that the lord of the country is suspicious of Meng? Now Meng has no intention of refuting, just ask the lord to look at Meng's words and deeds."

Hearing this, Guoxia just smiled, and then shook his head slightly. He pointed out Mengdi's background, just telling him that as long as he wants to find out, there is nothing he can't find out, and at the same time he has some psychological advantages, so he said .

"Mengzi don't need to be nervous. The old man said this just to tell Mengzi that Mengshi has been silent for so many years, and finally there is a character like Mengzi. You have to do it and cherish it. It is a good thing for young people to forge ahead."

"However, you can't give up your future reputation for the sake of immediate benefits. You are so close to Tian's now, how do you know Tian's origin?"

After making such a big detour, he finally got around to Tian Shi again. From this, it can be seen that Guoxia is very wary of Tian Shi. Before Chen He had just said about Chen Wan, Meng Di was naturally clear in his heart, so just said.

"The Tian family is a descendant of King Chen's family. They moved to Qi State and changed their surname to Tian. Could it be that there is something wrong with it?"

At this time, Guoxia took a deep breath, and the expression on his face became a little cautious.

"Mengzi only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. There are other secrets about Chen Wan. When Chen Wan was born, Zhou Guo's Taishi passed by Chen Guo. Chen Wan's father, Chen Ligong, asked Zhou Taishi to divination for Chen Wan. .”

"I got the hexagram saying 'Looking at the light of the country, make use of the king'. After Chen Wan grew up, he was favored by Chen Guoyi's family. He wanted to marry a daughter to Chen Wan. He asked someone to do a fortune telling, saying that Chen Wanruo would gain a foothold in the country surnamed Jiang. , the future is bound to be great.”

The so-called glory of watching the country, using guests to the king, means that Chen Wan is a person who can make the whole country flourish, but there is one condition, that is, it can only be done in other countries.

As for the country surnamed Jiang, the largest country is Qi State, and the others are small countries. Combining these two hexagrams, then Chen Wan moved to Qi State by taking advantage of Chen's internal turmoil, and gave up his status as the prince of Chen Guodong. This is worth scrutinizing.

It was the first time Mengdi heard this statement, and he didn't react for a while, and even felt a little magical, but seeing Guoxia's serious attitude, he knew that this matter was probably true, so he hesitated to ask .

"My lord, what do you mean to say that the Tian family has no doubts about such hexagrams, so it took so many years to take root in Qi State and strive to develop and grow?"

In fact, he was very surprised in his heart, because the historical event of Tian's attack on Qi was widely circulated in the Han Dynasty, and he did not expect that someone had already calculated it in advance, which made Mengdi feel a little weird.

Seeing Mengdi's expression, Guoxia put his hands on the desk, picked up a roll of bamboo slips, stretched out his hand and lifted it, Mengdi got up knowingly, opened it, and it was the incident described above, and the bamboo slips were quite ancient.

At this time, Guoxia showed some worry on his face, and said.

"Although there were some reasons for the power struggle to expel Tian Rangju back then, the most important thing was because of these things. The Tian family only lived in Qi for five generations, and there were people like Tian Hengzi, and later Tian Rangju appeared."

"From this point of view, these hexagrams and the things said have really come true one by one, especially the way that Tian Hengzi used small fights to fight big fights, and now has the same prestige among the people in Qi State. If things go on like this, Tian's will definitely Bigger."

"Mengzi has had contact with Tian Qi and his son, and he should understand in his heart that they can't even tolerate a Tian Rangju. For their own benefit, they suppress the side branch, which leads to Sun Wu's coming out of Qi. Once such a person takes charge of Qi."

"At that time, Qi State will definitely be reduced to the state of Lu State today. However, Tian's reputation among the people is too high now, and he is quite flattering, which has deceived many people. Today, I told Mengzi so much."

"One is to let you beware of the Tian clan, and the other is to hope that Mengzi can help our clan when our country is in trouble in the future."

In the heart of Meng Di who said these words, he was also greatly sighed. There are still many people with insight in the world. Tian Shi thought he was doing a cover-up, but even Guoxia could see it clearly. It seems that Tian Shi is now in Qi State. The power cannot be underestimated.

But this also made Meng Di feel a little strange, so he asked.

"Since the lord of the country has seen these things clearly, why don't you unite with Gao Xiangguo to put pressure on Tian?"

Hearing this, Guoxia let out a long sigh, looking a little lonely.

"Before Qi State was in trouble with Cui Zhu and Qing Feng. In order to maintain the stability of Qi State, Qihou was very wary of me and the two clans of the country. He took a tacit attitude towards the growth of the Tian family, so there are some things that I don't care about. Even if you know it, you can’t do anything.”

"Furthermore, the death of Tian Rangju made Marquis Qi feel that he was indebted to the Tian family, so over the years, Yan Zi has repeatedly advised him, but Marquis Qi never listened."

This really means raising tigers to make trouble. These years, the Tian family has been hiding behind the scenes and concentrating on development, so that even now, Marquis Qi has developed a certain habit of dealing with the Tian family.

It seems that Guo Xia and Gao Zhang seem to be enjoying a lot of scenery, but their life in private is not satisfactory, Meng Di nodded slightly, and then said.

"If that's the case, if there really is that day that the adults of the country said, Meng will definitely do his best to protect the country."

In fact, although the Guo family and the Gao family seem to be very harmonious on the surface, there is also competition in private. Guo Xia is also very aware of this in his heart, so he inadvertently realized that the Tian family has grown to such a degree. .

The most important thing is that Qi Jinggong's two sons are of mediocre ability, and as long as they have a little vision, they can see that the future of Qi State is full of doubts.
