After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 381
After a stalemate for nearly seven months, Jin and Qi finally withdrew their troops. Although some small-scale conflicts occurred during this period, both Zhao Yang and Tian Qi deliberately controlled the scale of the war and did not want to expand the entire war.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Yang is unwilling to let the Han State participate, but Tian Qi's consideration is more realistic, because once the strength of the Qi State is greatly weakened, it may be difficult to even protect itself in the future.

At that time, the territory of the Yan State that had just been acquired will also be handed over, and then the Wu State immediately sent envoys to the Jin State, and the target of the negotiation was naturally the Han State. After Meng Di got the news, he knew that the war might be coming soon.

After nearly a year, the infantry's equipment has basically been assembled, and at the same time, Zhongcheng has been managed like a rock. The army trained by Ji Ran and Chen He has gradually taken shape, and Han has initially completed its preparations for combat.

Then the state of Jin directly sent troops to defend the country and crusade against Duke Zhuang, the queen of the guard, Kuai Cui. Send back to Weiguo.

I don't know if it's because Wei Chugong was stimulated or what happened. After returning to Weiguo, he rewarded those who fled with him first, and then the whole court situation returned to stability.

However, Grand Duke Wei also became a little suspicious. Once when he was having a banquet with the ministers, Chu Shibi, the doctor of the State of Wei, went directly to the room wearing socks. Generally speaking, he would come in barefoot when he had an audience with the monarch.

Seeing him dressed like this, Wei Chugong felt a little unhappy on his face, and immediately asked why everyone came in barefoot, but you entered the room wearing socks?Could it be that you have no respect for my monarch?

Chu Shibi hurriedly explained, saying that he had some problems with his feet and couldn't take them off. If he took off his socks, he might be disrespectful to the monarch. The feet are chopped off.

They even wanted to send someone to directly take Chu Shibi down. The doctors around saw that it was a bad thing, and some people came out to persuade him when they knew the reason. a horse.

Under such circumstances, Wei Chugong reluctantly agreed, which also paved the way for Chu Shibi's rebellion in the future.

Qi State Linzi.

Now Tian Qi leads the army to fight outside, while Tian Chang invites various officials and nobles to hold banquets in the mansion all day long.

The government affairs of the entire Qi State fell into Bao Mu's book, which made him a little complacent. Although he was only acting on behalf of the state affairs, the power was actually in his hands. This feeling was too obsessive.

So taking advantage of this period of time, Bao Mu began to use his power to attack dissidents. The purpose was very clear, which was to confirm his political status and prepare for the smooth handover of power in Qi State in the future.

During this period, Bao Mu also ran over to test Tian Chang, and the other party was not wary of his proposal, and they all expressed their support, and said that this was Tian Qi's explanation when he left.

In this way, even if there is no need to worry about the future, Bao Mu will act more recklessly, sometimes even without asking Qi Hou for instructions, he will make a decision by himself, which will make Qi Hou feel even more dissatisfied.

So in private, Qi Hou told the people around him that a person like Bao Mu is ambitious, if he governs Qi in the future, I am afraid that Qi will fall into chaos in the future when Lu Guoyanghu is in power.

Because the Tian family supports Qihou, and Tian Qi has a good relationship with Lu Yangsheng, so Tian Chang often enters the palace. said.

"This Baozi is indeed a bit arrogant. My father felt that he had meritorious service, so he entrusted the affairs of state to him. I didn't expect that during this period of time, he would be nepotism and attack dissidents. If this continues, Qi will be controlled by Baozi. hands."

Hearing this, Marquis Qi's expression changed. Now that Tian Qi is getting older, if Bao Mu becomes the prime minister of Qi in the future, he will definitely not have a good life at that time. Thinking of Here he said with a face full of fear.

"Chengzi, the Tian family supported the king, and this kindness has always been kept in my heart. Now that Baozi has become so rude, if he is allowed to become the prime minister of Qi in the future, then it may not be good for the Tian family." What a good thing."

When Tian Chang heard this, he felt contemptuous in his heart. Although Bao Mu was a bit bossy in his actions, he was still respectful to Tian, ​​and it was not as serious as what Qihou said. Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

"But there is nothing we can do now. My father is old, and Baozi will definitely become the prime minister of Qi in the future. I understand what the king said in my heart, but what can I do?"

At this time, Qihou lowered his voice, moved to Tian Chang's side, and spoke with a cautious face.

"Then is there any way to get rid of Baozi directly? Only in this way can our country of Qi be restored to peace. Chengzi has always prevented schemes, so he will definitely be able to come up with a suitable solution."

At this time, Tian Chang almost laughed out loud. He originally thought about how to make the relationship between Qi Hou and Bao Mu worse, but he didn't expect that Qi Hou had already moved to kill him. Naturally, it couldn't be better.

However, he still had an expression of embarrassment on his face, frowning and thinking for a long time before he came up with an idea.

"If this is the case, Your Majesty can use the pretext of discussing matters to invite Baozi into the palace, but you must be more humble when you go to invite him. Baozi likes flattery the most, and he will definitely not have any defenses at that time."

"Afterwards, the king can send someone to take him down directly, enumerate the crimes he committed, and then directly name him as a model. In this way, the worries in the king's heart can be resolved, and our country of Qi can restore peace."

Qi Hou nodded approvingly, obviously his heart was moved, Tian Chang refused to say anything more at this time, and left the palace in a hurry on the pretext of something happening at home, but he heard that Qi Hou was not long after arriving home. Recruit Bao Mu into the palace.

This made him realize that Marquis Qi obviously couldn't wait for a moment and wanted to get rid of Bao Mu immediately. Facing such a situation, Tian Chang felt that Marquis Qi obviously wanted to control the power of the government in his own hands. This is not in Tian's interest.
