spring and autumn officials

Chapter 173 Make a vow

The emperor was silent for a while, seeing Qi Luhuan happily ran out of the tent, he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his forehead.

It's clearly a big plan to alienate the Lu State, why does the Tai Tu... look so stubborn and happy?

Not long after the emperor left, he heard the report from the eunuch, saying, "Emperor, Lord Lu is here."

Ji Lin immediately put away his helpless smile, put on the airs of an emperor, and said seriously: "Please come in."

The emperor invited Prince Hui to a banquet, and there was no way that Prince Hui could shirk, and soon came to the emperor's camp, and the eunuch respectfully led him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, please, please, this way, the emperor is already waiting. "

The eunuch's attitude was very respectful, which benefited Young Master Hui a lot. He entered the tent of the emperor, but there was no Qi Lu in the tent, and the emperor was dressed in a royal robe and sat on the mat.

Young Master Hui looked around for a while, bowed and saluted, and said, "My humble general pays homage to the Son of Heaven."

Ji Lin smiled slightly, with his arms outstretched and his sleeves fluttering, he said, "Young Master Lu, please get up, you don't need to be polite."

Only then did Young Master Hui stand up, there was no banquet in the camp, it seemed that Yan Yin was not here.

The emperor stood up, straightened his loose robe, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the son of the state of Lu is literary and martial arts, and his military skills are amazing. I have always admired him very much."

It is said that the emperor is so polite when he reaches out and doesn't hit the smiling face, especially young master Hui is a person who is easy to become complacent and inflated.

Young Master Hui cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven loves you wrongly, and Hui is terrified."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Huh? Mr. Lu, don't be humble. There is no one else in private. I will let you know today... In fact, I respect Mr. Lu very much, but all these things are arranged. I gave it to Taifu Qi, because of this, I don't know that Taifu Qi didn't invite Mr. Lu to a banquet. After hearing this, I already severely reprimanded Mr. Qi yesterday, and I beg Mr. Lu not to take it to heart. "

The emperor explained it himself, and the young master Hui is the type who prefers softness to hard work. Even if he thinks, yes, his prestige in the country of Lu is so prominent, and he is an old nobleman. If it was missed, it must be that Qi Lv made his own claim.

The emperor said again: "Today, the widow invited Mr. Lu to come here, and he purposely apologized to Mr. Lu."

Young Master Hui hurriedly said: "The Son of Heaven is serious, Hui is ashamed and dare not take the place."

The emperor smiled and said: "Let's not mention these polite words. Come on, the widow has already prepared Yanyin, so let's go to Yanyin's camp."

The emperor walked in front, and Gongzi Hui followed behind. One after the other, they left the emperor's camp, preparing to go to the special tent for Yanyin.

Young Master Hui followed Ji Lin, so he couldn't see Ji Lin's expression. As Ji Lin walked forward, a smile appeared on his handsome face, leading Young Master Hui step by step into the trap arranged by Qi Lv...

Yan Yin's camp is nearby, very close, and it's just a few steps away, but someone is talking near the camp, listen carefully, the voice is very familiar, isn't it Taifu Qi?

Sure enough, Qi Lu was standing behind the tent, with a smile on his face, his face was friendly, like a spring breeze, as if he was going to melt the ice and snow.

Qi Lv's handsome appearance reveals some coldness, he doesn't speak on weekdays, he looks very arrogant, and even a little "cold", but now when he smiles, he looks like the warm sun in winter, inexplicably amazed .

Qi Lv was talking to a person, that person was standing behind the curtain, just blocked his appearance, he couldn't see who it was, he could only see a faint corner of his clothes, the material of which was very elegant, that was... Lu Jin !

Young Master Hui squinted his eyes. This kind of high-quality Lu Jin is not something that ordinary people can afford. They are all tributes. It goes without saying who the tribute is to, of course it is Lu Gongxi!

That's right, the person standing behind the tent is none other than Lu Gongxi.The object of Qi Lv's "Qiaoxiaoqianxi" is also Lu Gongxi.

Sure enough, he heard Lu Gongxi's voice saying, "What a coincidence? It's Taifu Qi."

skillful!Naturally, it was a coincidence!

It is said that Qi Lu and the Son of Heaven cooperated separately, and the Son of Heaven appeased Prince Hui. Qi Lu slipped out of the camp and had his own place, either by chance or by chance to meet Lu Gongxi.

Qi Lu had inquired about it, and Lu Gongxi would go to the military parade every day at this time, and today was no exception, so Qi Lu squatted early, waiting for Lu Gongxi to happen to pass by.

Lu Gongxi did come, but he didn't find Qi Lu. Qi Lu's cat was behind the tent, pretending not to notice, and walked towards Lu Gongxi. Coincidentally, he bumped into Lu Gongxi.

Lu Gongxi saw that it was Qi Lu, and Qi Lu who was "on the order", immediately went up to chat, and said with a smile: "Teacher Qi, didn't you hit it? You are reckless."

Lu Gongxi called himself "Xi" in front of Qi Lu, which is his own name, not "Gu".In this era, the emperor claimed to be a widow, and the monarchs of the vassal states called themselves lonely. Obviously, this was a symbol of status, and Lu Gongxi called himself a name in front of Qi Lv, not lonely, which naturally had an intriguing flavor.

Because Lu Gongxi wanted to win over Qi Lv...

In fact, as early as when Qi Lu supported the emperor to ascend the throne, Lu Gongxi had met Qi Lu. At that time, among the Luo teachers, Lu Gongxi tried to win Qi Lu over and over again to become an official in the State of Lu, but Qi Lu Lu is afraid of trouble, and Lu Gongxi is a smiling tiger with a lot of eyes. How can an emperor be so "sincere"?So Qi Lu naturally wouldn't go.

Now that Lu Gongxi saw Qi Lu again, he felt more and more that his vision was correct.This Qi Lu is by no means a thing in the pool, he was just a low-level cook back then, but now he has become a famous person resounding all over the world, if he can win over Qi Lu, it will be of great benefit to the State of Lu.

Lu Gongxi did not give up trying to win over Qi Lu, now that he "coincided" with Qi Lu, and there was no one else around, he naturally wanted to win over.

Qi Lu knew that Duke Lu was playing against him, and said, "Damn Lu, it was Lu who offended Duke Lu, are you alright, Duke Lu?"

Lu Gongxi put on a good-natured look and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Qi Lu then said: "Lü offended Duke Lu. I don't know if Duke Lu is in a hurry. If there is nothing wrong, why don't Lu invite Duke Lu to drink two glasses of wine as an apology."

Qi Lu took the initiative to "invite" Lu Gong, Lu Gongxi was overjoyed, and said very gentlemanly: "If the Taifu is free, Xi will be with you, please."

The two of them were polite, and it was a "coincidence" that they happened to enter the next tent, and the emperor's Yanyin was placed in the next tent, and the two tents were next to each other.

Young Master Hui squinted his eyes, watching Lu Gongxi and Qi Lu enter the tent, and with a "crash", the tent curtain was lowered, blocking sight.

The Son of Heaven pretended not to see it, and said to Prince Hui, "Master Lu?"

Only then did Young Master Hui come back to his senses, and said: "The humble general will be punished for the crime, and the humble general just...was a little dazed."

"It doesn't matter." The emperor smiled with a good temper, and said: "Master Lu must have worked too hard for the affairs of the state of Lu. If my master Luo also has such a dedicated family, then I must pray for blessings and sacrifices. Thank you God knows!"

The emperor made a gesture of invitation, and the two entered the tent next door.

The camp tent is not a house, and it is not soundproof. After entering, you can hear the chatting and laughing next door.

Qi Lu laughed unscrupulously, and said: "Lu Gong, how about you try this wine? How about the wine that Bi Lu sent over?"

Qi Lu knew that the tents were not soundproof, so he deliberately brought up the matter of delivering wine. As expected, the emperor looked sideways, and Young Master Hui's face was quite ugly, and it instantly darkened. He squinted his eyes, probably because he remembered the wrong wine delivery, and felt that his The face was slapped by Qi Lu.

Lu Gongxi's voice came from the next door, and said with a smile: "Good wine, good wine."

The next door was chatting happily, and then I heard Qi Lu's voice was a little "twitchy", looking forward to Ai Ai's style of "glib" and "eloquent" in the past, intermittently said: "Lu Gong, do you still remember Lu Gong and Lu Gong? The first acquaintance was in Luoshi City, Duke Lu spent a lot of thought back then, wanting Lu to go to the Kingdom of Lu, this... now..."

When it comes to what happened back then, Qi Lu was very decisive, and he didn't intend to go to Lu State at all. After all, the emperor at that time was still a little milk dog, and he obeyed Qi Luyan, so what evil could a little milk dog have?Unlike Lu Gongxi, although he is considered a gentleman among the monarchs, but after all the city is deep, Qi Lu is most afraid of trouble, so naturally he wants to reject Lu Gong.

Now that I mentioned it, Duke Lu immediately felt his heart move, and said: "It wasn't back then, but Xi also thinks the same way now... The Grand Tutor doesn't know something, and Xi has no advantages as a person. He just likes to see talents, and when he sees someone like Tai Tu Talented people are admired."

The voices of Qi Lu and Lu Gongxi chatting came through the tent clearly and plainly, and Gongzi Hui's face became even uglier, not to mention it was Gongzi Hui, even the emperor's complexion was also ugly. Some thought they were flirting.

The Son of Heaven has always been a person who likes to eat and has a strong desire to possess. If the overall situation was not the top priority, he would have killed and tore Duke Lu long ago.

Lu Gongxi saw that there was a connection, and said tentatively: "The Taifu mentioned this matter, could it be...?"

Lu Gongxi didn't say it clearly, but Qi Lu complained: "You don't know, Lu Gong. Nowadays, there are many talents in Luoshi, such as Zhou Gong, Guo Gong, and the emperor's younger brother Wu Man. Lu, the grand master, is getting more and more talented. It's hard to get mixed up, so..."

Duke Lu immediately interjected, as if he couldn't take it any longer, and said: "Then why not invite the Taifu to come to our country of Lu, if the Taifu comes to the country of Lu, I can make a solemn promise and promise that the Taifu will be my secretary of the State of Lu." Minister of the country!"

Sir!

Prime Minister!

In the state of Zheng, offering sacrifices to Zhong is the chancellor of the state. It can be said that one person is under one person and above ten thousand. Similarly, the state minister of Lu state also has this status. They are fighting for this spot.

Young Master Hui's hand holding the wine glass earcup tightened, the veins on the back of his hand were furious, and the wine glass earcup made a "groan" sound in his hand, if the wine glass earcup was not made of bronze, it might have been crushed up.

Young Master Hui is a member of the Duke's family of the Lu Kingdom, an upright nobleman, and the younger uncle of the Duke of Lu. It can be said that he came from a famous family and has a high reputation, so he is the best candidate for a nobleman.

However, these years, although Duke Lu has been in power, he has not confirmed the nobility and has been procrastinating. Young Master Hui thought that as long as one nobility is selected, then this nobility must be himself.

Qi Lu's voice chuckled, and Lu Gongxi's voice said confusedly: "Teacher Qi, why are you laughing? Could it be... Could it be that the Tutor doubted Xi's sincerity?"

Qi Lu's voice was full of treacherous sycophancy, and he said quietly: "Duke Lu, you misunderstood, it's not that Lu suspects your sincerity, but this country of Lu...is it really Duke Lu who has the final say? You If you want Lu to be a nobleman, can Lu be a nobleman of the Lu State? Could it be that... Your good uncle, Duke Lu, won't object?"
