After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 297 The New Patriarch
After entering the territory of the State of Lu, it was Shusun Zhouchou who came to greet him. He was shocked when he saw that Meng Di had taken so many people from the State of Jin, but looking at the faces of these people, they were not too serious. There is a lot of panic, and there is also some suspicion in my heart.

After receiving Mengdi, the two exchanged pleasantries, but they didn't talk too much. The main reason was that the two of them didn't have any friendship before. The most important thing was that their personalities were not congenial, and Shusun Zhouchou was not a talkative person.

When they arrived near Qufu, the new Patriarch of the Jisun Clan, Ji Sunfei, came out to greet them in a hurry. The reason why he didn't go to the border to greet them in person was because he had just finished dealing with the Jisun Clan's family affairs.

The main reason is that Ji Sunsi passed away not long ago, and his beloved wife Nan Ruzi happened to give birth to a son. At this time, he was rejoicing and preparing to become Ji Sun's new Patriarch. Sun Fei was shocked when he heard it.

Because Ji Sunsi left a message before his death, saying that if Nan Ruzi gave birth to a boy after he died, he would be the head of the Ji Sun family. These words were said in front of all the retainers.

Originally, Ji Sunsi was already dead, as long as Ji Sunfei became the head of Ji Sun's family at this time, everything would be over, but it turned out that Nan Ruzi gave birth at this time, and it happened to be a boy.

How can Ji Sunfei feel at ease when something like this happens at such a time? The most important thing is that Duke Ai of Lu was also present. this kind of thing.

After all, Ji Sunfei helped Ji Sunsi handle Ji Sun's housekeeping for so many years. Although he was shocked, he could only express it when he told this fable.

Since it came from Ji Sunsi's last words, as a son, he should obey his orders, and the position of Patriarch would naturally be given up.

The performance was quite generous, but the cooked duck flew away. How could Ji Sunfei swallow this breath?Duke Ai of Lu didn't know what to say when he saw the situation, he could only say to send someone to investigate to see if it was true.

As a result, not long after the investigator went out, he returned with a sad face, saying that the baby boy was dead, and it was unknown who would succeed. Sun Fei came to take charge.

As for Ji Sunfei, he didn't have any great ambitions, but he was just an ordinary person. He rushed to see Meng Di immediately after he had settled the affairs at home, because he knew it very well.

The reason why the State of Lu was able to take down Shangqiu this time was because of Mengdi. You must know that the State of Lu had dispatched chariots before, while the State of Han had only dispatched [-] chariots and [-] cavalry.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that Zuo Shi Xiangchao, who defeated the Song army, and conquered Xiaoxian and Hongkou, can be said to be invincible. With such a strong strength, he can be respected by others, and when Ji Sunsi is still there, But I bought a lot of evil gold utensils with Meng Di.

These things are used to equip Ji Sunsi's troops, Ji Sunfei naturally hopes that these things can continue to maintain the status quo, so after the meeting, he invites Meng Di to go to Ji Sun's mansion in Qufu.

Naturally, Meng Di would not refute his face at this time. Now that the government of Lu State is controlled by Ji Sun's family, it is of great benefit to have a good relationship with Ji Sunfei.

And now that Shangqiu is controlled by the State of Lu, a large number of handicrafts can be continuously transported to Huaicheng, especially Shangqiu's embroidery is famous all over the world. Once these things are transported to the south, they can be sold at a good price.

So Mengdi led people, followed Ji Sunfei into Qufu City, and visited Lu Ai Gong first. Although Lu State has not yet recognized the status of Han State, Lu Ai Gong behaved a bit submissive.

Meng Di gave a general description of the soldiers who attacked Jin this time, and then left.

When he arrived at Jisun's mansion, Meng Di felt a little emotional. When he first came to this place, what he thought in his heart was when he could become an existence like Jisun's.

Of course, this is mostly out of envy, but mainly because of the difference in strength. He didn't expect Ji Sunsi to have passed away now, and Gongshan Buxuan's death still reappeared in his heart, just like yesterday.

Yang Hu also became his vassal, and the state of Han grew into the state of Lu, looking up to the general existence, which made Mengdi's heart burst with enthusiasm, and he became more confident about his future ambitions.

After arriving in the room and taking a seat, Ji Sunfei said in a low voice with a flattering smile on his face.

"Hanhou, there were some agreements between my father and Hanhou before, and now I have become the head of the Jisun family. Naturally, I also hope that these agreements can continue. I don't know how about Hanhou?"

Hearing this, Meng Di couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Ji Sunsi was here, he would definitely not say such a thing at this time. The reason is very simple, because now Jin has already gained victory.

Although it is said that the area east of the Taihang Mountains has been lost, the local power of the Jin State has basically not been hit. Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before the Jin State recovers.

As the ruler of the Lu State, the thing that should be considered at this time is how to seek greater benefits for the Lu State. The best way is to remain neutral and wait and see. Once you choose the wrong team, the result is likely to be irreversible.

But what Ji Sunfei in front of him can see is only Ji Sun's own interests, while ignoring the interests of the State of Lu, which is not a good thing for the State of Lu, but for the State of Han, it is of course beneficial. One harm.

The reason why he sighed was because, among the various vassal states, most of the officials are seeking their own interests, which has gradually formed a normal state, but at this time, there are still many people who are obeying the Zhou rituals.

This is why Confucius' ideas cannot be promoted. These superiors have impure minds. How could they adopt this kind of ruling idea that harms their own interests and maintains the king's rights?Naturally, he was doomed to run into walls everywhere.

So Confucius had no choice but to live and travel around the world, and now he is stranded in Qi State. merchant.
