spring and autumn officials

Chapter 186 Whistleblowing

Facing the first ray of sunlight in the morning, the emperor on the couch slowly opened his eyes.

"Lin'er!"

Qi Lu immediately strode over and said in surprise, "Lin'er, are you awake?"

Ji Lin slowly opened his eyes, moved a little, and couldn't help but let out a "hiss..." The pain from being hit with a stick by Young Master Zhu'er seemed to be still there, causing Ji Lin's back of the head to burst into dull pain.

Seeing that he was not feeling well, Qi Lu immediately reached out to help him, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Lin looked around fixedly, only then realized that he had returned to the appearance of the emperor, turned over and sat up, and said, "Teacher?"

Qi Lu quickly said: "It's Lu, Son of Heaven, what happened to you? Last night, the little dog didn't know where he went."

Hearing him mention this, Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "The dog is at the son Zhu'er's side."

"Zhuer..." Qi Lu's face darkened in an instant. He has never liked getting angry, because Qi Lu is a very lazy person, and he doesn't bother to get angry. It kept bursting in Qi Lu's chest.

It really is Zhuer...

The Son of Heaven immediately told Qi Lv everything that happened last night. Young Master Zhu'er ran away and kidnapped the little dog, and there were still people in Linzi City who took care of Young Master Zhu'er.

The emperor frowned and said: "The widow heard their conversation. He is the great Situ of Qi, and his status is not small. The Taifu must be careful."

The Great Situ of Qi State is an official position above ten thousand people. Although the status of the Great Situ is not as good as the Prime Minister of the State, it is not far from it. Moreover, after the death of Qi Hou Lufu, the position of the Prime Minister of the State is vacant. The biggest official position is the Great Situ, the Great Situ He is old and highly respected in the state of Qi. If Zhu'er has the help of Da Situ, his wings will definitely harden in an instant.

When Qi Lu heard this, he immediately said: "No, it's too dangerous, what are you waiting for? Tonight, you will find a way to escape."

"No." Unexpectedly, the emperor said the same words, and his attitude was very strong. He shook his head and said, "No."

Qi Lu said strangely: "Those sons are cruel, and the emperor has not seen it before. The little dog stays in Linzi City, and Lu is not at ease. Linzi City is less than a day away from the Huimeng camp. Tonight, the emperor will move. They will send people to take the emperor out of the city."

Who knows that the emperor still said the same thing, saying: "No."

The emperor said again: "Because of the dangers in Linzi city, the widow can't leave. Young master Zhu'er never dreamed that the widow is the little dog he took away. Zhu'er and Da Situ of Qi have no grudges at all. As long as the widow stays in Linzi City, he can find out the truth and benefit the Grand Tutor."

Of course Qi Lu understands this truth. After all, the little dog is just a dog. If Qi Lu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that the little dog is related to the emperor.

But it's too dangerous, young master Zhu'er has always been tyrannical and treats people like this, let alone a dog, and this dog is Qi Lu's favorite pet, so it's hard to guarantee that young master Zhu'er will not abuse the little dog.

The emperor comforted and said: "Teacher doesn't have to worry, the widow is free to deal with it, and now the sons and sons are busy dealing with the Taifu, the widow can protect themselves."

The Son of Heaven wanted to risk his troops, and without giving Qi Lu a chance to refute, he immediately changed the subject, chuckled lightly, with a determined smile on his face, and said, "The widow really just found out a piece of news..."

In the Huimeng camp, Qi Lv was able to ascend the throne of the Qi State, and the new official took office three times. Everyone was discussing this issue the next day.

At sunset the next day, Gongsun Wuzhi came to Qi Lv suddenly in a hurry, sneaking around like a thief, clasped his hands together and said, "Teacher Qi—are you there? No, your lord, are you there? I am I am ignorant, I have something to ask."

Qi Lu was in the camp, and heard Gongsun Wuzhi's voice calling Hun'er, the voice was sneaky, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, but to be honest, everyone might have heard the voice called Hun'er.

Qi Lu let Gongsun Wuzhi in, not only Gongsun Wuzhi, but also the eunuch Meng Yang.

When Gongsun Wuzhi saw Qi Lu, he immediately went up to meet him and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

Qi Lv was on the safe side, dressed in a black monarch's robe, sitting firmly on the side of the table, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, looking decent.

Qi Lu said, "What's the matter, so flustered?"

Gongsun Wuzhi said: "The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, Linzi has come! They say they want to see the king!"

Qi Lv put the bamboo slips in his hand on the case table, and said flatly, "Who is it?"

Gongsun Wuzhi clasped his hands together and said in a low voice, "He's sent by Situ, Grand Master of the Qi State."

Da Situ.

This is not the first time Qi Lu has heard of this title. Coincidentally, this morning, Ji Lin was still talking to Qi Lu about Da Situ.

Gongsun Wuzhi said in a low voice like a thief: "Da Situ sent someone here, saying that...he said that he wanted to inform you, Your Majesty!"

"Informant?" Qi Lu smiled and said, "Really, it's getting more and more interesting."

Gongsun Wuzhi scratched the back of his head, he couldn't understand Qi Lv's reaction, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see him? The disciples of Da Situ came here secretly, and they want me to introduce you to you."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "See, of course I want to see you, so let's bring it in."

Gongsun Wuzhi scratched the back of his head again, and quickly withdrew, bringing a man in. The man was dressed in the clothes of a servant and was very plainly dressed. It looked like he had sneaked into the Huimeng camp.

When Da Situ's disciples saw Qi Lu, they immediately bowed in salute, saluted, and kowtowed twice.

In this era, it is not popular to kneel and kowtow, unlike the future dynasties, who would kneel and kowtow at every turn, and this disciple of the Great Situ kowtowed twice, which actually meant an obvious plea.

Qi Lv smiled and said: "Doctor Qing is a disciple of our Da Situ of the Qi State. He must be a pillar of the Qi State. Why do you give such a great gift?"

The disciples of Da Situ were still kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has learned from you that the guilty minister is here to plead guilty!"

"Oh?" Qi Lu's expression remained calm, and he said, "What's wrong with Aiqing?"

Da Situ's disciples grabbed the ground with their heads and maintained a bowing posture, which can be described as extremely respectful, saying: "Just yesterday night, the young master Zhu'er escaped from the Huimeng camp and returned to Linzi City, and the supporting young master Zhu'er entered The man of the city is the mentor of the guilty minister——Da Situ!"

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So you came to expose Da Situ?"

The disciples of Da Situ immediately shook their heads and said: "No no, your lord, you have misunderstood! Da Situ, as a veteran of our state of Qi, is from the old Qi, an upright old Qi, how could he do such a thing as treason? What about it? Da Situ is actually begging for perfection, pretending to accept the young master Zhu'er, and then he stabilized the young master Zhu'er, and let the criminals come to inform, please deal with it."

The corner of Qi Lu's lips twitched lightly, and he said, "Oh? So, Da Situ is just pretending to accept the young master Zhu'er, but in fact he is loyal to Gu?"

"Naturally! That's natural!" Da Situ's disciples repeatedly kowtowed, saying: "My son and sons are in chaos in the palace, which is against the heavenly relationship, and they have not made any achievements in the court. Relying on the fact that they are the first sons of the ancestors, they have been showing off their power. Now Young Master Zhuer has lost power, and Da Situ is fully supporting you! That's why he sent the criminal ministers to tell you that Da Situ is willing to do his best for you, and cooperate inside and outside to catch Zhu'er!"

When Gongsun Wuzhi heard this, he frowned. Although he had never been very smart, he was a person who grew up among the princes and had been exposed to various court stories since he was a child. Why did the son's faction suddenly repent and help Qi Lu?

Does Da Situ really think that the young master Zhu'er has no future?

Gongsun Wuzhi kept his eyes open, thinking that since he was so careful, Qi Lu would definitely be careful too. After all, even though Qi Lu is gentle, in fact, he has more hearts than anyone else, especially bad ones. Son.

Gongsun Wuzhi thought about this, and heard Qi Lu laughing, saying: "Da Situ is loyal to Gu, it is really a blessing for Gu to have such a high official in Qi State, Gu is worthy of taking the throne, and he has not yet returned to Linzi City, with the help of Da Situ, it must be the best."

As Qi Lv spoke, he stood up and walked to Da Situ's disciple himself, and helped him up with both hands.

The disciple didn't expect the matter to be so successful, thanked him again and again, and said, "The sinner is terrified! The sinner is terrified!"

Qi Lv said: "Gu has just become the new king, and I don't know how to enter Linzi City. I'm afraid that the sons and sons will cause chaos. I don't know... Can Da Situ do anything?"

Da Situ's disciples left quickly, coming and leaving furtively.

Gongsun Wuzhi watched Da Situ's disciples leave with a dumbfounded look, and immediately wanted to say: "Your Majesty, Da Situ..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of trampling footsteps, someone came out from the tent, it turned out that there were still people in the tent, Gongsun Wuzhi didn't pay attention all this time.

It is the Son of Heaven!

Holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, the Son of Heaven strolled over, threw the slips on the table with a bang, and smiled at the gate of the camp where the great Situ disciples left.

Gongsun Wuzhi watched the emperor come out, scratched the back of his head strangely, and really wanted to ask when the emperor was in the tent?

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Even the Son of Heaven heard it? This big Situ has a lot of drama."

When Qi Lu said this, Gongsun Wuzhi immediately thought of something, clapped his hands and said, "Da Situ! Yes, Da Situ! My lord, why did you agree to Da Situ? This Da Situ used to belong to Zhuer's faction and has always supported him. Zhuer, it must be due to Da Situ that Zhuer was able to enter Linzi City, but now Da Situ suddenly retorted, saying that he was able to stabilize Zhuer, there must be a deceit in it!"

Qi Lu smiled and said, "It's good to be cheating, I'm afraid he's not cheating."

Gongsun Wuzhi fell into confusion again, and Meng Yang said calmly at this time: "Gongsun doesn't need to worry too much, even Gongsun can see that there is a fraud, the king must have seen it long ago."

Gongsun Wuzhi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, he turned to Meng Yang and said, "What do you mean, why do I feel that you are running on me, Gongsun?"

Meng Yang gave a rare smile and didn't speak any more.

Gongsun Wuzhi immediately exploded, saying: "This Gongsun is also very useful. In this Linzi city, there is no person or business that this Gongsun is not familiar with!"

Gongsun Wuzhi just made a fuss, but Qi Lu suddenly said: "That's right, if you want to break the chess game of Da Situ, you have to trouble Gongsun."

Gongsun Wuzhi watched Qi Lu smile to himself, the camp was already dusk, and the candle was lit, the smile was hidden behind the candle, faint, bright and dark, unexpectedly coated with a layer of ambiguous tenderness, It's like a lupine, scratching people indescribably.

With a bang, Gongsun Wuzhi blushed for no reason.

Son of Heaven: "..." Why are you blushing?
