The emperor felt sour and panicked, and couldn't help but say: "Master Hui of the state of Lu? You are already very old, how can you talk about being tall and majestic? How can he be as handsome as a few people?"

Speaking of this Lu Gongzi Hui, according to his seniority, he should be the uncle of the current Lu Gongxi, and the younger brother of the former Lu Gong, so it can be imagined that he is not young anymore. However, Gongzi Hui is older than the former Duke. Much younger, he is Lu Gongxi's uncle, so he is actually not too old, about forty, so he is considered a "newbie" among politicians.

Gongzi Hui was a noble family member of the Lu State. He was born into a noble family. Although he did not become the king of the Lu State, he played an important role in the court. More than half of the Lu State's noble families revolved around Gongzi Hui. Gongzi Hui seemed to be the core of the Lu State's government.

When he was young, Gongzi Hui was indeed charming and suave. As Qi Lu said, he charmed many boys and girls. He could be described as the Lu version of Gongzidu.

There is indeed one thing in common between Gongzi Hui and Gongsunzi. In addition to their extraordinary beauty, they are equally talented. Gongzi Hui's talent in leading troops is outstanding in the Lu country and even in the world. , thus also establishing Gongzi Hui’s status in the State of Lu.

Gongzi Hui was born into a noble family, and he was an outstanding leader of troops and had a large number of royal supporters. When the late Duke of Lu passed away, Gongxi of Lu was very young. As Gongxi's younger uncle, Gongzi Hui became a great uncle of Lu. He became the "Regent" of the State of Lu. Gongzi Hui had strength, power, and status. As time went by, it can be imagined that Gongzi Hui's arrogance was also growing.

Qi Lu couldn't help laughing when he saw the emperor's disgusted look, and said: "Although Young Master Hui is handsome, how can he compare with the emperor? After all, he is an uncle despite his age."

When the emperor heard what Qi Lu said, he couldn't help but raise his chest and raise his head. Yes, I am young and handsome. No matter how handsome the young master Hui is, it is a thing of the past.

Qi Lu comforted the emperor a little, and the explosive hair on the emperor's body instantly fell down and turned into a well-behaved little puppy.

Qi Lu continued: "I wonder if the Emperor has heard that something happened in the State of Lu a few days ago? It was about this young master Hui."

The emperor sneered, and seemed to understand instantly what Qi Lu was talking about, and said, "How can I not know this? I'm afraid the whole world will know about this."

Something happened in the State of Lu a few days ago, which was absolutely "horrifying", and it was about this young master Hui and Lu Gongxi.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, let alone a country. Three hundred idioms appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. It can be imagined that this was such a turbulent era. In this era, no matter which country is mentioned , 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 clarify the relationship between Lu Gongxi and Gongzi Hui, we must start with Lu Gongxi’s father.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many great men, and there were also many miserable people. There are countless things that would shatter our outlook on me, such as me seizing my daughter-in-law. Speaking of me seizing my daughter-in-law, many people may think of the famous Prince Ji in history. There is a poem that says, "The two sons are riding in a boat, and they pass away. Is there any harm in thinking about your son?" It is talking about Prince Ji. Prince Ji's father, who is now the Marquis of Wei, found a beautiful wife for his son. , as a result, when Marquis Wei saw his daughter-in-law, he became greedy, deceived his son into going out on business, and married his daughter-in-law himself. She was supposed to be the wife of Prince Ji, but turned around and became his maiden. Prince Ji was already a miserable man, but What is even more miserable is that in order to pave the way for her son Gongzi Shou, this young mother repeatedly framed Prince Ji to seize her. In anger, Marquis Wei found someone to assassinate Prince Ji. Instead, his younger son Gongzi Shou heard about it. In order to save Prince Ji, Prince Shou disguised himself as Prince Ji and became the victim of injustice. Prince Ji found out that his younger brother died unjustly and refused to leave. In the end, Prince Ji was killed by the dead soldiers.

This kind of broken outlook also happened to Lu Gong today.

When Lu Gongxi's father was still alive, Lu Gongxi had grown up that year, and his father also found a beautiful daughter-in-law for Lu Gongxi. As a result, the daughter-in-law had just arrived in the state of Lu, and Lu Gongxi's father fell in love with her at first sight. The future daughter-in-law of Lu Gongxi suddenly became a little mother. Not only that, she also gave Lu Gongxi a younger brother.

Because Lu Gongxi's father doted on beauties, he also doted on his younger son. Although Lu Gongxi was older, because Lu Gongxi was a concubine, his father doted on his younger son even more. When his father was dying, he wanted to Pass the throne of kingship to your younger son.

But the younger son was too young to inherit the throne. Even if he sat on the throne, he would be just a puppet. The officials in the court supported Lu Gongxi to ascend to the throne. Lu Gongxi was completely law-abiding in the court, and he was a great gentleman. He has a good demeanor and is courteous to others, and has built up a network of people, including the powerful young uncle Gongzi Hui.

Gongzi Hui and the ministers and officials of the public clan tried their best to ensure that Lu Gongxi came to power, thus making Lu Yin Gong in history.

Some people say that Duke Yin of Lu was a true gentleman in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a pity that to become a king, you cannot become a gentleman, because in the circle of politicians, a gentleman will not end well.

After Gongzi Hui supported Lu Gongxi and came to power, Lu Gongxi relied heavily on Gongzi Hui. Firstly, Gongzi Hui was a member of the public family and was connected by blood like himself. Secondly, Gongzi Hui was good at fighting and could control the ministers of the court. It can be said that Lu The fact that Gongxi ascended the throne was not justified in name, but he was able to securely sit on the throne only because Gongzi Hui was in charge.

Over a long period of time, Gongzi Hui became more and more arrogant day by day. In addition, he had never lost a hundred battles and had become the God of War of the Lu State. He increasingly ignored Lu Gongxi and felt that Lu Gongxi was just his puppet.

Not long ago, something happened that shocked the vassal states. Several countries united with the State of Lu to embarrass the State of Zheng, and planned to form an alliance to jointly discuss the crusade against the State of Zheng. Lu Gongxi was a cautious person, and he felt that There would be no good results in offending Zheng at this critical moment. In addition, those countries clearly wanted to see both Zheng and Lu lose, so they rejected the alliance.

Unexpectedly, when Gongzi Hui heard that Lu Gongxi had rejected the alliance, he was very angry, so he secretly violated the alliance as Lu Gongxi's envoy without Lu Gongxi's order.

Transgression is a serious crime, especially when Lu Gongxi has already refused, Prince Hui insists on going his own way and makes an alliance secretly. When such a thing happens, all the princes and states are watching the excitement. 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 to do it, because the Lu State still relied on Gongzi Hui for support. He only scolded Gongzi Hui a few times, but there was no substantial punishment, so the matter was over. Forget it.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Emperor, if it were you, could you not bear grudge against Master Hui?"

What is the most taboo thing for those in power? Of course, it is arrogance. If he can overstep the alliance today, he will be able to overstep the position tomorrow. Moreover, Young Master Hui is also a prince, and he is also a duke of the State of Lu. If Young Master Hui really oversteps his power, it is not out of the question. .

The emperor sneered and said: "If you are a widower, I will just kill this young master Hui with one knife."

Qi Lu nodded and said: "It's just that Mr. Lu doesn't have this strength now. Mr. Lu loves and hates Mr. Hui at the same time."

Qi Lu was not joking. Lu Gongxi really loved and hated his uncle Gongzi Hui. His love was because Gongzi Hui had real talent and practical knowledge, and he won numerous victories for the Lu State, establishing the Lu State as one of the three most powerful countries in the east.

Lu Gongxi is the most cautious person. There must be a scale in his heart that weighs him down and makes him unable to breathe.

Qi Lu said: "After this incident, the gap between Lu Gong and Gongzi Hui is getting bigger and bigger. This Lu country is one of the strongest countries among the alliance countries. If we can't win him over to the emperor's camp, we might as well

...Split them. Let them have civil strife and distract themselves. As for the remaining Wei and Ju states, the Marquis of Wei is just a straw. Since the two powerful states of Zheng and Lu have given up on Qi, he will inevitably switch sides. Then Ju will

…Isn’t it like cutting leeks and taking them away in one wave?”

Ji Lin raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Yes, what the Master said makes sense, but... how to split it?"

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully...

In fact, the split between Lu Gongxi and Gongzi Hui happened sooner or later. In history, the two also broke up, and this break ended with Lu Gongxi's tragic death.

As mentioned before, after Lu Gongxi's father forcibly married his daughter-in-law, he also gave birth to a younger son. Lu Gongxi's father actually wanted his younger son to be in power, but the younger son was too young, so all the officials supported him.

The humble and gentlemanly Duke of Lu came to power.

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

Later, as his younger brother grew up, before Lu Gongxi felt threatened, Gongzi Hui felt the threat first. He was the one who supported Lu Gongxi's rise to power. If Lu Gongxi's younger brother gained power, his own position would not be guaranteed.

, so Gongzi Hui went to Lu Gongxi and told Lu Gongxi that if he wanted to stabilize his position as king, he should kill his younger brother while he was still young to avoid future troubles.

Unexpectedly, Lu Gongxi scolded Young Master Hui. Lu Gongxi refused to let Young Master Hui touch his younger brother. Young Master Hui got angry and left angrily. He was also afraid that Lu Gongxi would tell the young Young Master about this and he would be hurt.

The two of them walked around in circles, so Gongzi Hui took the initiative and took the initiative to find Lu Gongxi's younger brother.

Gongzi Hui told Lu Gongxi's younger brother that Lu Gongxi wanted to kill him and that he would monopolize the position of king. Lu Gongxi's younger brother believed it, and finally joined forces with Gongzi Hui to assassinate Lu Gongxi, and successfully ascended the throne, becoming a famous figure in history.

Duke Huan of Lu.

The break between Lu Gongxi and Gongzi Hui was sooner or later. It made no difference whether it was earlier or later. Qi Lu said with a smile: "If we break up earlier, maybe Lu Gong can save his life. When the time comes...

…He still needs to be grateful to the law.”

Lu Gongxi felt that he was extremely unlucky. He was covered in oil particles and the smell of oil smoke was always with him. He had never been in the dining room in his life, let alone hidden behind the stove.

Lu Gongxi strode into the camp with a dark face and said coldly: "Bring me some hot soup, I want to take a bath."

"Promise." The eunuchs did not dare to say anything more and quickly ran to heat the soup. Soon the tent was filled with steam and hot water was poured into the bathtub, making the entire tent warm.

Lu Gongxi dismissed the eunuchs and said, "Everyone, go out. There is no need for anyone to wait on you here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuchs withdrew, and only Lu Gongxi was left in the tent. He took off his robe in disgust, threw it aside, stepped into the tub, rubbed his face several times, raised his arms and sniffed.

Hold back the anger in your heart.

"Wow--"

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew up in the tent. Someone opened the tent curtain and walked in from the outside. Lu Gong was still bathing. He was startled and shouted: "Who is it!? There is no need for anyone to wait on you here, get out."

!”

When he said this, a shadow fell down, and the tall figure was projected in the sparkling water of the hot soup. Lu Gongxi's eyes narrowed, he quickly turned back, and the scolding voice was instantly swallowed into his throat, and he whispered
