Chapter 176 Poisonous Chicken Soup!
Inside Lu Gong's tent, the lights flickered...
Lu Gong was grabbed by the arm fiercely, and with a start, he suddenly opened his drunken eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was a ferocious face.
"Little, uncle?!"
Duke Lu was startled and stared. He thought he was drunk and dreaming, but he never imagined that the person in front of him was actually Gong Zihui.
Young Master Hui's face was dark and sinister. He stared at Lu Gong without any courtesy and said grimly: "Okay, okay! I've done everything for the Lu country. How did you repay me?! Joining forces with an outsider, you want to
Want to kill me?!"
Duke Lu was even more stunned. He wanted to kill Young Master Hui? This... wasn't this a "joke" he made when he and Taifu Qi were drinking?
Despite Qi Lu's repeated lobbying, Lu Gong has not yet made up his mind. After all, if he wants to kill Gongzi Hui, he is not just killing an ambitious Lu state politician. Gongzi Hui also represents the military strength of Lu state. If Gongzi Hui
If Hui is dead, who will lead the troops of Lu? Lu Gongxi is not a foolish king. He always has to weigh the pros and cons. Although the conditions are very tempting, but...
Lu Gongxi was stunned for a moment, looking at Gongzi Hui blankly, and then there was a roar in his head, how did Gongzi Hui know that he wanted to kill him?
Lu Gongxi's face twitched, but he tried his best to stay calm. I don't know if it was because of drinking, but his voice sounded hoarse than before, and he felt like he was at the end of his tether, as if he wanted to quibble about something.
Lu Gongxi's hand hurt from being pinched by Young Master Hui, and he said with difficulty: "Uncle, you, you must have heard wrong, or listened to someone's instigation. I am your nephew. How could it be possible? How could you do such a thing?"
What's going on? It's not too late for us to be friendly..."
Before Lu Gongxi finished his "sweet words", Gongzi Hui had already smiled coldly and said: "Yes, you are my nephew! How could I believe it if I hadn't heard it with my own ears?! I didn't expect it.
Your Majesty, when you and Taifu Qi kissed me and we were conspiring, I was in the camp next door! What a coincidence!"
Boom——
Lu Gongxi's mind exploded, like a tsunami, overwhelming the mountains and seas, almost drowning Lu Gongxi in an instant. When he was conspiring with Taifu Qi, Gongzi Hui was right next door. Is it really just a coincidence?
No, no, it's definitely not a coincidence.
Lu Gongxi was a suspicious person, which was almost a common problem among monarchs. How could he believe these many coincidences? This was too much of a coincidence.
Especially if this matter is related to Taifu Qi, it is even more no coincidence!
Everything was premeditated, Lu Gongxi actually stepped into Qi Lu's trap!
Lu Gongxi understood in an instant, and his mind went through waves. This was a premeditated plan, this was a split! Taifu Qi wanted to split the Lu country, and he started with himself and Gongzi Hui. If the monarch and the person in power did not get along, then the Lu country would
They will be divided. At that time, they will not be able to interfere with their own affairs, let alone interfere with the affairs of Qi. Doesn’t the emperor support whoever he wants to rise to power?
After Lu Gong rested, he felt a chill on the back of his neck and bursts of cold sweat. He almost fell into Qi Lu's trap.
Lu Gongxi was glad that he had come to his senses and stopped at the brink. He had recovered from his drunkenness for the most part and quickly explained: "Uncle, listen to what Gu said, all of this is..."
Before he could finish his words, Gongzi Hui was not such a calm person and was already furious. He threw away Lu Gongxi's hand and gave him a hard slap.
Lu Gongxi stumbled. He was not as tall as Young Master Hui. He was thrown away and fell directly onto the couch with a "bang".
Gongzi Hui stared down at Lu Gongxi who fell on the couch, with a gloomy face as if he was a man-eating evil ghost, and said angrily: "I have lived and died for the state of Lu, and I have conquered most of the country of Lu. Yes!! You want me to die!?"
As he said that, he turned around and kicked the bronze case over. With a crash, the slip ear cup on the case fell to the ground and cracked open. The ear cup was made of bronze. Naturally, It couldn't be broken, but the slips were different. The slips were fragile and scattered all over the floor. They flew up and a piece of bamboo instantly scratched Lu Gongxi's cheek.
"Hiss..." Lu Gongxi covered his cheek and stared in disbelief at the furious Young Master Hui.
Gongzi Hui's eyes were bloodshot and he said: "If it wasn't me back then, who were you?! Without my support, you would be worse than a little brat now! Now that your wings are hardened, you want to kill me instead?!"
Lu Gongxi originally wanted to have a good talk with Gongzi Hui, so as not to fall into Qi Lu's plan to alienate him, but now that he heard Gongzi Hui's arrogant words, a fire suddenly rose up in his heart, burning Lu Gongxi's heart. reason.
Lu Gongxi was relatively modest, as if he were a humble gentleman. Indeed, it was just as if.
Which king can be a true gentleman? After all these years, Gongxi of Lu was a bit arrogant. He usually tolerated Young Master Hui because he was useful to the State of Lu. However, recently, Young Master Hui made arrogant remarks and was unruly. Xun completely angered Lu Gongxi.
Lu Gongxi got up from the couch, not caring about the wound on his cheek, and said with a sneer: "Lu Hui! Don't forget your identity! Back then? How dare you mention that back then!? If it hadn't been for you, you wouldn't have been able to be the king. , you will not support me to rise to power! You supported me to rise to power, all for your own ambition, so that you can be the one holding the strings from behind! But now you say how innocent you are!"
Young Master Hui never thought that Mr. Lu would challenge him. Normally Mr. Lu was very docile, but especially today's incident, it was actually Mr. Lu who was "guilty" in the first place. Young Master Hui thought that Mr. Lu would admit his mistake as he should. , the humble concessions are the same as in the past.
But Lu Gongxi was like a rubber band. The pressure he endured on weekdays was already so great that he almost collapsed. Now he drank alcohol again. The alcohol was simply a catalyst, making Lu Gongxi shout out all the truth in his heart.
Young Master Hui was stunned for a moment, and then became even more furious. He smiled angrily and said, "Okay, okay! It turns out that in your heart, I am such a person. Well, from today on, I want to see Look, if I don’t mention this thread, who are you going to be?”
After Master Hui finished speaking, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and robe, and strode away from Lu Gong's tent.
The whistling cold wind came in along the camp tent. Lu Gongxi watched Young Master Hui leave with red eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief and fell on the couch with a thud. He was extremely tired and drunk in his mind, so he fell asleep without realizing it. passed.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened, Your Majesty!"
Lu Gongxi was still sleeping in a daze when he heard someone yelling, and then there was a crash. Someone broke into Lu Gong's tent regardless of dissuasion.
Lu Gong frowned. The hangover headache made him very sad. He rubbed his forehead and slowly sat up. His voice was hoarse and his face was ugly and he said, "What are you yelling about?"
The person who broke into the camp was a general from the state of Lu. The general knelt on the ground and quickly apologized, saying: "Your Majesty! Something bad has happened... Young Master, Young Master, he actually complained of illness early in the morning..."
Gongzi Hui...has given up his choice.
Lu Gongxi instantly remembered the quarrel last night. He and Gongzi Hui had a falling out and said some unpleasant words.
Lu Gongxi suddenly had an even worse headache. The pain of hangover swept over him a thousand times, and he felt a sense of regret in his heart. It was indeed regret, and Lu Gong somewhat regretted talking to Young Master Hui like that. After all, Young Master Hui was Lu
The backbone of the country, if he gives up the challenge, who else can take up this important role?
The reason why the general of Lu State was so anxious was also because of this matter. He said: "Your Majesty, this... this young master is the minister who carries the tripod of our State of Lu. Now that the young master has suddenly stepped down from his heavy responsibility, what if this is within the territory of our State of Lu?"
, that would be easy to handle, but... But now we are outside Linzi City, the capital of Qi State, I am afraid, I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be in catastrophe!"
r
This is not the State of Lu. Young Master Hui suddenly resigned from office, pushing four, five, and six, without caring about anything. If someone with a heart finds out, wouldn't he want to cannibalize the military strength of the State of Lu? That would be dangerous.
Moreover, they are surrounded by the troops of Qi, Wei, Zheng, and Ju. Which one is not ambitious?
Lu Gongxi naturally understood this truth, and his face became even more ugly. He knew that Gongzi Hui did it on purpose. Yesterday, Gongzi Hui also said that if he didn't act as the person who pulled the strings, let's see how Lu Gong could still be the king.
Lu Gongxi was a little discouraged for a moment. He was right, he was right, he was the puppet holding the thread, and Gongzi Hui was the one holding the thread. Once one day the person holding the thread stopped holding the thread, he, the puppet, didn't know what to do.
How to survive.
Others only know the glory of the king of a country and the blessings of the king of a country, but they don't know the helplessness of the king of a country. There are too many situations that are not necessary...
Just when Lu Gong was stunned, General Lu whispered: "Your Majesty... You must not expose your family scandal to others. Otherwise, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you should put down your posture a little, endure your anger for a while, and wait for everything."
After we return to Lu, we must not let outsiders see the joke and take advantage of it!"
Lu Gongxi endured the severe pain in his forehead, his face turned pale, and his voice was hoarse. He seemed to have made an important decision and said: "I will change my clothes and wash up. The young master is sick. As a nephew, I naturally have to go visit him."
When the eunuchs and generals of Lu State heard what Lu Gongxi said, they knew that Lu Gongxi had chosen to obey Ruan'er, and they all breathed a sigh of relief...
The emperor heard from the eunuch that Master Qi was making a dish in the dining room... crispy chicken.
It was specially made for the emperor. The eunuch said it was extravagant. As soon as you enter the dining room, you can smell the fragrant chicken smell. It is simply delicious on earth and has nothing like it in heaven.
The emperor felt very happy after hearing this, and he knew that Taifu Qi would definitely comfort him with delicious food. Although the emperor was not really angry, how could the emperor refuse if he had delicious food to enjoy?
The eunuch had just finished reporting and left. Suddenly he ran back, shouting: "It's not good, it's not good! Emperor, it's not good!"
Ji Lin rubbed his forehead and said, "What happened? Could it be that Master Qi gave the crispy chicken to others again?"
It can be said that the emperor was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. After all, Qi Lu had done this kind of thing a lot.
The eunuch waved his hand and said: "This, this is not true. It's just...it's just Gongsun of Qi State who ran to the dining room to find Master Qi."
Ji Lin was extremely "afraid" of Gongsun Wuzhi, especially yesterday when Qi Lu almost kissed Gongsun Wuzhi. The emperor asked the eunuchs to keep an eye on Gongsun Wuzhi. Whenever Gongsun Wuzhi came close to Qi Lu, he would have someone report him.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't sit still and immediately said, "I'll go to the dining room."
The emperor hurried to the dining room, but before he entered the dining room, he heard Gongsun Wuwu's loud voice, full of energy and chattering.
Qi Lu happened to bring chicken soup and pheasant soup, and he was going to go with Gongsun Wuzhi to trouble Prince Hui of Lu State. Oh no, it was to visit a patient.
Ji Lin heard Qi Lu say with a smile: "Let's go and deliver poisonous chicken soup to Young Master Hui."
"Poisonous chicken soup!?" Gongsun Wuzhi shouted in surprise: "Poison, poison, poison? Uncle, it's not easy to poison, it's not easy to poison!"
