Chapter 490,491 The decisive battle! The Marquis of Lu versus the Ji family
In short, Shu Zhongxiao is actually a fishhook deliberately placed outside by Shu Sun.
The reason why Shusunnu changed his normal behavior and took the initiative to clarify the matter of "three lives" was simply to force Jisunyiru to pass the "responsibility" to Shuzhongxiao.
Ji Sunyi's inappropriate behavior not only made him extremely embarrassed for a while, but also clearly offended Shu Zhongxiao directly. Even those who had been secretly colluding with him became a little jealous.
It’s really not worth the gain.
This is actually what Shusunnu wants to achieve. He wants the world to know that Shuzhongxiao was originally someone close to the Ji family, but was eventually betrayed by the Ji family.
The Shusun family did not blame Shu Zhongxiao for this matter. Obviously, the relationship between the Shusun family and the Shuzhong family seemed more ambiguous to outsiders.
Therefore, if you really want to oppose Ji Sun Yiru, you can go to Shu Zhongxiao.
That’s right!
Ji Sun Yiru obviously suffered a secret loss in this matter.
It was precisely because of such a bizarre and strange incident that happened before that Nan Kuai immediately thought of contacting Shu Zhong Xiao after being persuaded by Confucius.
…
However, what Nan Kuai and Shu Zhong Xiao did not expect was that the anti-Ji family alliance that had finally gathered around Shu Zhong Xiao finally leaked the news just before Nan Kuai was about to rebel against the Ji family.
As the saying goes, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
Obviously, Ji's Infernal Affairs work was also done extremely well.
After Ji Sun Yiru learned about the rebellion of Fei Yi, Nan Kuai had no choice but to revolt in Fei Yi in advance without waiting for an order.
Ji Sun Yiru immediately sent troops to quell the rebellion and surrounded Fei Yi. Nan Kuai rose up to resist. However, morally speaking, Nan Kuai was a rebel and did not have an advantage. In addition, Ji Sun Yi Ru had a strong army and strong horses, so he deliberately spread the news and started a rampage.
Invite to buy the hearts of Feiyi.
As for Nan Kuai, after all, they raised their troops in a hurry and had to be defeated in the end and fled to Qi.
Regarding this matter, Lu Houchou failed before he even had time to react.
After Shu Zhongxiao learned about Fei Yi's failure, because he also participated in Nankuai's rebellion, he was also worried that Ji Sun Yiru would wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so he immediately hid in Shu Sun's house and was protected.
.
As a matter of course, Ji Sunyi asked Shu Sunnuo to hand over Shu Zhongxiao.
However, how could Shusunnu hand Shuzhongxiao into Ji's hands?
After all, Shu Zhongxiao, as the vanguard of Lu Houchou and him, had a great relationship and knew a lot of things.
Therefore, Shusunnu just downplayed it and replied to Jisun Yiru as if he was completely fine:
"I will not be a place for resentment." (I will not be a gathering place for resentment)
Obviously, Shusunnu seemed to be the boss, but in fact it was an obvious act of shielding. This made Jisunyi very unhappy, but at the same time, there was nothing he could do against Shusunnu.
After this civil strife, although the Ji family could not be brought down, it was still suffering from internal strife, and they did not want to cause trouble, so they could only answer dully:
"In that case, I would like to ask Master Shusun to tell Shuzhongxiao on your behalf that if there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude!"
Shusunnu also smiled calmly and said:
"No! I will tell him when I get back!"
Lu Houchou undoubtedly played a crucial role in the Nankuai rebellion.
But after all, Ji Sun Yiru had not been caught with any substantial evidence, so he could only let it go.
The whole incident only seemed to be a civil strife within the Ji family. It seemed that the relationship between the emperor and his ministers was still not completely broken. In addition, there were other courtiers mediating between them, and everything seemed to be so peaceful.
thing.
However, Lu Houchou did not give up. He was still looking for another opportunity to overthrow Ji while he was still recovering.
However, what Lu Houchou didn't realize was that the biggest hidden danger had always been hidden around him.
…
It is said that Ji Sun Yiru had an uncle named Ji Hai. Because of an internal dispute within the family, Ji Sun Yiru punished him. Shen Yegu, the family chief who killed this uncle, was punished by Ji Sun Yiru.
Speaking of Shen Yegu, she actually died unjustly. Ji Gongniao, a relative of the Ji family, married the daughter of Bao Wenzi of Qi State. However, Ji Gongniao unfortunately died young and his underage son inherited the family.
Industry.
Ji Gongniao's brother, Ji Hai, and two retainers, Gong Sizhan and Shen Yegu, worked together to take care of Ji Gongniao's housework.
Unexpectedly, Ji Gongniao's widow couldn't bear the loneliness and had an affair with a retainer in charge of the cook. For some reason, she suddenly complained first and asked the maid to beat her black and blue, but she said it was Shen Yegu who wanted to molest her.
she.
Ji Sun Yiru, as the leader of the clan, naturally wanted to "uphold justice." So, he "didn't care about the indiscriminate" and directly arrested Shen Yegu.
When Ji Hai heard this, he rushed to Ji's mansion and wanted to plead for his family leader.
As Ji Sun Yiru's uncle, she knelt down all night and cried and begged for mercy, but she was still not allowed to see Ji Sun Yiru. Shen Yegu was also directly sentenced to death.
Ji Hai's father is Ji Wuzi, and Ji Sun Yiru is Ji Wuzi's grandson. They said that they should have an authentic uncle-nephew relationship, but now, even this "face" is gone.
As a result, Ji Hai and Ji Sun Yiru "had a grudge", so Ji Hai went to Lu Hou Chou, hoping that the monarch could uphold justice for him.
And Lu Houchou was not stupid, so he couldn't believe him easily. After all, he didn't know what his intentions were, so he just laughed and said:
"Such family matters are inherently difficult to decide. It's hard to say who is right. Besides, you can't think that Shen Yegu is innocent just because you have a good relationship with Shen Yegu. Ji's handling of this matter is vigorous and resolute. In my opinion, it's not
There’s nothing wrong with that!”
"Your Majesty, I and Shen Yegu are indeed close friends, but I also know that Shen Yegu is definitely not a person who will do evil. That woman is vicious and what she said is simply nonsense, and Ji Sunyi is just like him..."
When Lu Houchou heard "Ji Sun Yiru", he immediately waved his hand:
"That's all, I don't want to think too much about such trivial matters, so please don't tell me this!"
Ji Hai then said no more and left in frustration. However, Lu Houchou secretly wrote down the incident.
At the same time, Ji Sun Yiru actually caused another scandal outside.
He had a cockfight with Doctor Li E. Under Zhu Niu's instruction, Ji Sun Yiru put mustard noodles into the wings of the fighting cock. During the fight, the fighting cock dodged its wings and the mustard noodles were sprinkled on the opponent's eyes. Naturally, it was
Win easily.
Li E refused to accept, so in the second game, he put a blade on his fighting cock's paw. Ji Sun Yiru's fighting cock was beaten to a bloody pulp and was defeated. Ji Sun Yiru refused to accept and immediately started fighting with Li E.
The scene was extremely funny for a while.
Ji Sun Yiru, after all, had the strength due to the large number of people. In the end, he relied on the large number of people to beat up all the evil spirits. He also went to the evil spirits' house and smashed them all up.
So, He E also began to complain in front of Lu Houchou.
Coincidentally, almost at the same time, internal fighting broke out in Zang Zhaobo's family, and Zang Zhaobo's cousin Zang Hui fled to Ji Sun Yiru's home to take refuge.
Zang Zhaobo's retainers brought people to Ji Sun Yiru's home to pick up someone, but Ji Sun Yiru happened to be not at home. Zang's retainers forced their way into Ji's mansion and not only took away the people, but also beat up the people in the mansion.
When Ji Sunyiru came back and learned about it, she was furious again. She personally led private soldiers to Zang Zhaobo's house. Not only did they rescue Zang Hui again, but they also captured the retainers who participated in the robbery last time.
In this way, Ji Sun Yiru not only offended his own clan member Ji Hai, but also Li E, Zang Zhaobo and others.
They finally got together and came to complain to Lu Houchou one after another, insisting that Lu Houchou quickly deal with the arrogant and domineering Ji Sun Yiru.
However, Lu Houchou was still clear-headed at first, and he was still a little worried, so he pretended to scold these people.
He also stated on the surface that these things all happened for a reason, and after all, this was a private matter between them. As the king of a country, how could he come forward to resolve these matters?
However, as the saying goes, what a person fears most is not the first temptation, but the traps that follow one after another and cannot be stopped at all.
Lu Houchou is the king of a country, so why not be like this?
——
Chapter 491_Ji Hai rebels
Under Ji Hai's constant instigation, over time, Lu Houchou's mind became active again.
Coupled with the fact that the Feiyi rebellion ended without any problem at that time, Lu Houchou had no choice but to use this second plan.
So, he tested the Shusun family and the Meng family.
Shusunnu had been fighting with Jisunyiru all his life, and he couldn't stand Jisunyiru's domineering attitude.
At this time, Meng Xizi had died of illness, and his son Meng Sun He Ji succeeded him. Since Confucius was his teacher, Meng Sun He Ji was only a teenager and not yet in his prime, so Confucius naturally had a great influence on him.
The most important thing is that Confucius originally supported Lu Houchou.
And this was exactly what Lu Houchou thought he was confident about.
With the support of the other two of the three emperors, and the doctors who had been offended by Ji Sun Yiru one after another these days, Lu Houchou felt that the time might have been ripe, so he decided to make a desperate move and take action again.
When Li Ran heard this, his heart sank involuntarily.
"This Ji Hai... is probably not a kind person. The previous incident involving Fei Yi might have been the tip made by this person. Now that he is being instigated by this person again, Marquis Lu will probably be fooled again!"
Confucius sighed.
"That's true, but no one could have thought of it at the time. If Mr. Lu had been with Marquis Lu at that time, he might not have put Marquis Lu in danger!"
Li Ran knew that Lu Houchou failed in the end, but the details were not clear. However, he was very clear about Ji Sun Yiru's character. Although this person was arrogant and domineering, he would never offend others for no reason and cause trouble.
He made enemies on all sides.
Obviously, all of this was done deliberately by Ji Sun Yiru. The purpose was to make Lu Houchou lose his temper and take the initiative to attack.
Li Ran had no choice but to leave Lu and go to Zheng. At that time, his uncle Sun Bao was still there. He thought that although Lu Hou Chou was still young and energetic, but fortunately he had his uncle Sun Bao helping him, so nothing major would happen.
Unexpectedly, after Shusun Bao passed away, although Shusunnuo was able to turn the tide, he could only keep the Shusun family alive.
As for checking and balancing the Ji family, there is nothing they can do.
What's more, with the help of Shu Niu, the Ji family successfully disbanded the Chinese army, and the office was even more devastated.
Lu Houchou's situation can be described as precarious.
Li Ran could imagine that Lu Houchou thought of looking for him in the most difficult time, but failed in the end. Li Ran felt sad for a moment at his disappointment.
"What happened next?"
Li Ran asked.
Confucius said again that Luhou Chou thought that although he was desperate, he still had a chance of victory. He thought he would join forces with his uncle and sunnu to attack Jisun Yuru, but Ji Hai said at this time:
"Although the Shusun family has always been supportive of the official family, they are one of the 'Three Huan's" after all. The three Huan clans of the Lu State are inherently linked to each other. Once the Ji family is in trouble, the Shusun family will inevitably do the same.
It feels like a rabbit dying and a fox feeling sad. The villain thinks that the Shusun family should not be involved at this time!"
"Moreover, it's not just a villain who is suspicious. Nowadays, the relationship between the Ji family and the Shusun family is indeed very close! Previously, the Nankuai incident ended without a cure because of leaks, but I don't know where the wind was leaked?"
"This uncle, Zhongxiao... is a relative of the Shusun family, but as we all know, he is very close to the Ji family. It is unknown who this person is working for. What's more, Ji Sun Yiru has a person beside him now.
The staff member's name is Shu Niu. This person was originally a relative of the Shusun family, but now he has also joined the Ji family. Your Majesty must be on your guard."
When Marquis Lu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Because why the Nankuai Rebellion came to light, the Luhou camp has never been able to find out the insider.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shu Zhongxiao’s ignorant relationship between the enemy and the enemy, as well as his relationship with the Shusun family, did make Lu Houchou have some feelings for him.
Suspicion.
Marquis Lu also knew that Shu Niu was a relative of Shusun, but he didn't know the details.
He didn't know about the previous civil strife in the Shusun family, and Shu Niu was the culprit. Although Shu Niu was supported by Shu Niu, he hated him deeply.
Marquis Lu should not think about this level of concern.
"It's just... I'm afraid it won't be possible with just the strength of a few people!"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although Hai is not a great weapon, he still has hundreds of private soldiers, not to mention the troops of Duke He and Duke Zang. In addition, your Majesty will accompany you personally. At that time, the villain will use the name of Ji's clan
, transfer all his guards away, and cooperate with the emperor internally and externally, is there any reason why it will not work?"
Lu Houchou felt that what Ji Hai said was somewhat reasonable.
"Then how to keep Shusun out of the matter?"
"This is simple, just send Dr. Shusun to work elsewhere! When he returns home and resumes his duties, the big thing will be done!"
Therefore, Luhou Chou listened to Ji Hai's words and sent Shusunnu to Kandi. Firstly, it was to protect the Shusun family, and secondly, it was to avoid the Shusun family's suspicion.
As for Shusunnu, how could he know that Lu Houchou would be suspicious of him? So, he just accepted the order and left the capital.
Then, after careful preparations, Lu Hou Chou led his personal guards in Qufu, together with Ji Hai and others, and finally launched an attack on the Ji family.
In this way, the monarch and his subjects were completely at odds with each other.
Ling Lu Houchou never expected that everything he did was actually under Ji Sun Yiru's control.
Ji Sunyiru was fully aware of Lu Houchou's actions. When he learned that Lu Houchou was going to conquer him, he pretended to be innocent instead.
He retreated again and again, as if he had been caught off guard by Lu Houchou.
Upon seeing this, Lu Houchou became even more confident and pursued him all the way, finally forcing Ji Sun Yiru to the attic of his house.
Lu Houchou was even more happy when he saw that Ji Sun Yiru seemed to be desperate.
However, what I didn't expect was that Ji Hai suddenly rebelled at this time and led Ji's servants into the attic and defected to Ji Sun Yiru's camp!
And this attic is obviously an extremely strong defense that the Ji family has been preparing.
Lu Houchou, who encountered Ji Hai's betrayal, couldn't take the attic with his current strength.
Lu Houchou ordered arrows to be set on fire, but Ji Sun Yiru had also been prepared, because the attic was built with the back of a mountain.
Ji Sunyiru ordered someone to cut a small hole in the mountain, and the spring water continued to pour in. The entire attic was instantly wet, and Lu Hou Chou was dumbfounded.
It turns out that all this is actually a plan set by Ji Sun Yiru and Shu Niu, and Ji Hai is their real Infernal Affairs!
The killing of Shen Yegu before was just a painful plan set by them. Lu Hou Chou was deceived by them and was caught off guard this time.
But at the same time, he also knew that there was no way out now!
Although Lu Houchou surrounded Ji Sun Yiru, the number of his guards was not large after all. Coupled with Ji Hai's betrayal, it was already difficult to break into the attic and capture Ji Sun Yiru, but Ji Sun Yiru was
A loud voice shouted from the attic:
"The king did not carefully investigate the fault of the minister, and just ignored the indiscriminate fighting. I am really dissatisfied! I hope that the king will retreat first. I am willing to tie myself to the Yishui River to see the king in person to judge the minister.
Pass."
After hearing what Ji Sun Yiru said, Lu Houchou couldn't believe him, so he couldn't help but sneered and replied:
"Everyone on the road knows about your crime! Why don't you just surrender and be captured? Don't resist stubbornly! Thinking of Ji's achievements in the Lu State, I will not take your life!"
Ji Sunyiru also knew that Lu Houchou's words were just superficial words, and he was shouting them specifically for others to hear:
"If your Majesty is really worried, you can imprison me in Feiyi, and I will never leave Feiyi for the rest of my life! Is that possible?"
Feiyi is the main city of the Ji family, and Ji Sun Yiru actually asked to be imprisoned in Feiyi. One can imagine his sincerity.
Even what he said was sarcastic.
After hearing this, Lu Houchou couldn't help but become even more angry, and replied harshly:
"Traitor! You asked to be imprisoned in Fei, but you can't think of it! If you enter Feiyi, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? You said this, why are you bullying others too much!"
After Ji Sun Yiru heard this, he rolled his eyes again:
"I don't know what my fault is, but since your Majesty can't accommodate me, please give me only five vehicles to escape. When I go to other countries, I will no longer have to worry about seeing you. Please
Your Majesty, I appreciate the merits of my ancestors of the Ji family, so that I can give you this opportunity!"
How could Lu Houchou agree to him at this time? He knew very well that only by fully controlling Ji Sun Yiru could he rest assured.
"Your Majesty does not trust me so much, and is so threatening today. I have no choice but to resist to the end!"
Therefore, it was useless to talk more, and Lu Houchou immediately ordered a storm on the attic. He knew that the longer the delay was, the more disadvantageous it would be to him. However, facing this attic, this fortress carefully built by Ji Sun Yiru, he was really powerless.
Lu Houchou knew that he did not have enough bodyguards now and would need more troops to conquer the Ji family.
Only then did he regret that he should not have suspected Shusun, but it was too late.
So, in desperation, he had no choice but to go to the Meng family for help.
