spring and autumn officials

The emperor felt sore and flustered, and couldn't help but said, "Young Master Hui of the State of Lu? You're already old, what are you talking about being tall and majestic? Can there be a few people who are handsome?"

Speaking of this Duke Hui of the State of Lu, according to his seniority, he should be the uncle of the Duke of Lu today, but the younger brother of the Duke of Lu, so it is conceivable that he is not young anymore.However, Gong Zihui is much younger than Xiangong, and is Lu Gongxi's younger uncle, so he is not really old, about forty, and he is considered a "novice" among politicians.

Gong Zihui was a member of the Lu State's family, and he came from a noble family. Although he did not become the Lu State's monarch, he played an important role in the court. More than half of the Lu State's public family members surrounded him, and he seemed to be the core of Lu State's government.

When he was young, Gongzihui was indeed suave and suave, just like Qi Lu said, he has attracted so many boys and girls, he can be said to be Lu's version of Gongsunzidu.

And this Gongzihui and Gongsunzi do have one thing in common, in addition to having extraordinary beauty, they are equally talented.The talent of Young Master Hui to lead the army is outstanding in the State of Lu, even in the current world, so it also established the position of Young Master Hui in the State of Lu.

Gongzi Hui was born in a noble family, and he led the army well, and he had a lot of supporters of the Gong clan. When the first Duke of Lu State passed away, Lu Gongxi was very young. He became the "Regent" of Lu State.Gong Zihui has strength, power, and status. As time goes by, it is conceivable that Gong Zihui's arrogance is also growing more and more.

Qi Lv couldn't help laughing when he saw the emperor's tasteful appearance, and said, "Although Mr. Hui is handsome, how can he compare with the emperor? After all, regardless of his age, he is an uncle."

Hearing what Qi Lu said, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but raise his head up, yes, the widow is young and handsome, no matter how handsome that Young Master Hui is, it's a thing of the past.

Qi Lu comforted the emperor a little, and the fried hair on the emperor's body fell down instantly, turning into a cute little milk dog.

Qi Lu continued: "I don't know if the emperor has heard that something happened in the country of Lu a few days ago? It's about this young master Hui."

The Son of Heaven sneered, and seemed to instantly understand what Qi Lv was talking about, and said, "Is it possible that I don't know? I'm afraid everyone in the world knows about this."

Some things happened in the state of Lu a few days ago, which was completely "shocking", and it was about this young master Hui and Lu Gongxi.

Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, let alone a country.Three hundred idioms appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. One can imagine how turbulent it was.In this era, no matter which country is chosen, there are countless stories that can be told for three days and three nights.

The State of Lu is no exception. If we want to understand the relationship between Lu Gongxi and Gongzi Hui, we have to start with Lu Gongxi's father.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many great men, and at the same time, there were also many tragic ones. There are countless things like Lao Tzu occupying his daughter-in-law.Speaking of Lao Tzu occupying his daughter-in-law, many people may think of the famous Prince Ji in history. There is a poem that says, "The two sons will pass away in a boat. May words think of their sons, and the flaws will not be harmful?"Prince Ji's father, who is now Marquis Wei, found a beautiful wife for his son. As a result, Marquis Wei became greedy when he saw his daughter-in-law, so he tricked his son out to work and married his daughter-in-law himself.She was supposed to be the wife of Prince Chen, but turned around and turned into a young mother. Prince Chen is already a hard-working person, but there are even more miserable people. In order to pave the way for her son, son Shou, this young mother framed Prince Chen again and again. In a fit of rage, Weihou found someone to assassinate Prince Ji, but was heard by his youngest son, Gongzi Shou. In order to save Prince Ji, Gongzi Shou disguised himself as Prince Chen, and became a ghost under the sword. When Chi finds out that his brother died unjustly, he refuses to leave and is eventually killed by the dead.

Things like this broken three views also happened to Duke Lu today.

When Lu Gongxi's father was still alive, Lu Gongxi was an adult that year, and his father also found a beautiful wife for Lu Gongxi. As a result, the daughter-in-law had just arrived in the country of Lu, and Lu Gongxi's father fell in love with her at a glance. Having won the future daughter-in-law, the itching was unbearable, and she took over the daughter-in-law.Like Prince Ji, Lu Gongxi's future wife suddenly turned into a young mother, not only that, but also added a younger brother to Lu Gongxi.

Lu Gongxi's father dotes on his younger son because he loves beauties. Although Lu Gongxi is older, because Lu Gongxi is a concubine, his father loves his younger son even more. When his father is dying, he wants to Pass the throne to the youngest son.

But the youngest son was too young to inherit the position of monarch. Even if he sat on the position of monarch, he was just a puppet.Duke Xi of Lu kept his own law and order in the court, he was a gentleman, he was modest and polite to others, and he had a network of contacts, among them was a powerful little uncle, Gong Zihui.

Gong Zihui and the official ministers of the clan tried their best to protect Lu Gongxi from the throne, thus making Lu Yingong in history.

Some people say that Lord Lu Yin was a true gentleman in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is a pity that one cannot become a gentleman if one becomes a monarch, because in the circle of politicians, a gentleman will not end well.

After Gongzi Hui supported Lu Gongxi to take the position, Lu Gongxi was very dependent on Gongzi Hui.Firstly, Young Master Hui belongs to the public family, and he is connected by the same blood as himself. Second, Young Master Hui is capable of fighting well, and can restrain the ministers of the court. Prince Hui sits in town.

For a long time, Young Master Hui became more arrogant and indulgent day by day. In addition, he has become the God of War of the Lu Kingdom with his indomitable victories, so he has become more and more ignorant of Lu Gongxi, thinking that Lu Gongxi is just his own puppet.

Not long ago, an event that shocked the vassal states happened. Several countries united with the State of Lu and wanted to embarrass the State of Zheng.Lu Gongxi was cautious. He felt that offending Zheng Guo at this juncture would have no good results. In addition, those countries clearly wanted to see both Zheng Guo and Lu Guo suffer, so they rejected the alliance.

Unexpectedly, Gong Zihui was very angry when he heard that Lu Gongxi had rejected the alliance, so without Lu Gongxi's order, he used the identity of Lu Gong's envoy to violate the alliance without permission.

Uspassing is a serious crime, especially when Lu Gongxi has already refused, and Gongzi Hui insists on going his own way and forming an alliance privately. When such a thing happens, all the princes will watch the fun. It can be said that good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Although Lu Gongxi was severely slapped in the face, there was no other way at all, because the state of Lu still had to rely on Gongzi Hui for support, and he only reprimanded Gongzi Hui for a few words without any real punishment, so this matter will be over. It's over.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Tianzi, if it's you, can you not bear the grudge against Young Master Hui?"

What do superiors hate the most?Of course it is overstepping, if he can overstep the alliance today, he can overstep the superior position tomorrow, and Mr. Hui is also a son and a member of the Duke of Lu, so if Mr. Hui really oversteps the superior position, it is not impossible.

The Son of Heaven sneered and said, "If you are a widow, I will kill this young master Hui with a single knife."

Qi Lu nodded and said, "It's just that Duke Lu doesn't have this strength now. Duke Lu loves and hates Young Master Hui."

Qi Lu was not kidding, Lu Gongxi really loves and hates this uncle, Gong Zihui. The love is because of Gong Zihui's real talents and learning, he has won countless victories for the Lu State, and established the three great powers in the east of the Lu State. One of the status, hated, naturally hated that Mr. Hui was becoming more and more rampant and refused to obey discipline. Lu Gongxi was the most cautious person, he must have a scale in his heart, and he was overwhelmed.

Qi Lv said: "After this incident, the gap between Duke Lu and Prince Hui is getting bigger and bigger. This country of Lu is one of the most powerful countries among the countries in the alliance. If we can't win him into the camp of the emperor, we might as well ...split them. Let them be distracted by civil strife. As for the remaining Wei and Ju states, Marquis Wei is a fool. If the two powerful states, Zheng and Lu, have abandoned Qi, he will surely defect, then Ju. ... Isn't it like cutting leeks and taking them away in one wave?"

The corner of Ji Lin's lips twitched lightly, and said, "Yes, the Taifu's words are reasonable, but... how to split?"

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully...

In fact, the split between Lu Gongxi and Gongzihui was a matter of time. In history, the two also broke up, and this split ended with the tragic death of Lu Gongxi.

As mentioned before, after Lu Gongxi's father forcibly married his daughter-in-law, he also added a younger son. Lu Gongxi's father actually wanted the younger son to be in power, but the younger son was too young, and the officials all supported him. Lu Gong, who is a modest gentleman, is on the throne.

After Lu Gongxi came to power, he appointed his younger brother as the prince, saying that he was only managing the government on his behalf, and when the younger brother grew up, he would return the throne to his younger brother.

Later, as his younger brother grew up, Lu Gongxi didn't feel the threat yet, but Gongzi Hui felt the threat first. He was a person who supported Lu Gongxi's superior position. If Lu Gongxi's younger brother gained power, his own position would not be maintained. , So Gongzihui found Lu Gongxi and told Lu Gongxi that if he wanted to stabilize his position as the monarch, he had to kill his younger brother while he was young, so as to avoid future troubles.

Unexpectedly, Lu Gongxi scolded Young Master Hui, and Lu Gongxi would not let Young Master Hui touch his younger brother. In a rage, Young Master Hui left angrily. The two were walking around, so Young Master Hui decided to act first and found Lu Gongxi's younger brother on his own initiative.

Gongzi Hui told Lu Gongxi's younger brother that Lu Gongxi wanted to kill him, and that he would monopolize the throne. Lu Gongxi's younger brother believed it, and finally joined hands with Gongzi Hui to assassinate Lu Gongxi, successfully ascended the throne, and became a king in history. Duke Huan of Lu.

The breakup between Lu Gongxi and Gongzihui happened sooner or later, and it doesn’t make any difference. Qi Lu said with a smile: “The sooner the breakup, maybe Lu Gong can save his own life. When the time comes... ...he still has to thank Ritsu."

Lu Gongxi felt that he was so unlucky that he was covered in oil stars, and the smell of oil smoke was everywhere. He had never been in the dining room in his life, let alone hidden behind the stove.

Lu Gongxi strode into the tent with a dark face, and said in a cold voice: "Get some hot soup for Gu, Gu wants to take a bath."

"Respect." The eunuchs didn't dare to say more, and quickly ran to boil the hot soup. Soon the tent was steaming, and hot water was poured into the bathtub, and the whole tent was warmed by steaming.

Lu Gongxi waved away the eunuchs and said: "Go out, I don't need anyone to wait here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuchs withdrew, Lu Gongxi was the only one left in the tent, he took off his robe in disgust, threw it aside, stepped into the bathtub, rubbed his face several times, raised his arm and sniffed, Hold back the anger in your heart.

"Whoa-"

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew up in the tent, and someone opened the curtain and walked in from the outside. Duke Lu was still taking a bath, so he was startled, and shouted: "Who is it!? I don't need anyone to wait here, get out!" !"

When he said this, there was already a shadow pressing down, and the tall figure was projected in the sparkling water of the hot soup. Lu Gongxi shrank his eyes and turned his head quickly. Said: "Yes... it's my uncle who came."
