When Ji Sun Yiru arrived at the "fang", Yang Hu stopped the carriage:
"My lord, there is a small stream here. You can let the horses rest here and eat some grass before setting off on the road, right?!"
Ji Sunyiru opened his eyes, lifted the curtains of the car and saw the green grass and river beside him.
"Okay, then let's rest here for a while. It won't be too late to leave again."
Ji Sun Yiru also got out of the carriage and stretched out his muscles. Yang Hu made Ji Sun Yiru sit down and took some pastries and water that had been prepared. Some guards were posted around.
Ji Sunyiru looked around, but felt a little strange.
"Huh? Where's the vertical cow?"
"He spontaneously went to the rear, and he should be heading here at this moment."
Ji Sun Yiru nodded when he heard the words, but didn't think much about it.
"Tiger, you will drive later. Please wait a moment for the team behind you! The terrain here is dangerous. If there is an ambush, it may not be easy to deal with."
Yang Hu responded:
"promise!"
Yang Hu stood next to Ji Sun Yiru, holding the hilt of his sword and looking left and right. When Ji Sun Yiru saw this, he couldn't help but smile:
"Tiger, you don't have to be so nervous. I just said it casually. Why don't you sit down and chat with me!"
Yang Hu lowered his head and shook his head:
"My lord, the tiger dare not do it."
Seeing how restrained he was, Ji Sunyi couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
"Hey... Tiger, throughout my official life, I have always been intrigued and deceitful by others, and I have never confided in anyone. Only you and me, although we are masters and servants, are actually brothers and sisters. You don't need to be so reserved, Tiger."
"Having said that, the head of the house is the head of the house after all. How dare Tiger dare to go beyond his own control? If he is so presumptuous, it would be too ignorant!"
When Ji Sun Yiru heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hu, over the years, you have worked very hard for me to manage family affairs. Do you have a fancy for this place? In the future, I can give you a city and let you be the governor of Xiaoyao City. What do you think?"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but kneel down on one knee:
"The tiger only wants to serve the master of the household his whole life! He will never dare to give up..."
When Ji Sun Yiru heard this, he couldn't help but feel even more happy.
"Haha, how come I have never missed you? In recent years, I have concentrated on state affairs, and all the affairs of the Ji family are entirely dependent on you. And you are also considered to be diligent in your work. Not only did you not take any step beyond your bounds,
You have also managed the Ji family in an orderly manner. I can see all your contributions."
"That being the case...when I am old and leave the affairs of my family and country to Si'er, you can go with me to Fei Yi to enjoy your old age!"
After hearing this, Yang Hu felt a little moved for a moment.
"My lord is so kind to Tiger, and Tiger is so grateful that there is nothing he can do in return!"
Ji Sun Yiru waved his hand.
"You have done so many things for me, how could I not know about it? You and I can't live without each other!"
Yang Hu was silent for a moment without replying.
Ji Sun Yiru took a sip of water.
"Hu, regarding this rebellion against the Party, who do you think was the instigator?"
"Perhaps they were the desperadoes who supported Lu Zhaogong in the past? Or maybe they were the noble clansmen who were driven away by the family master before? It is too early to say for sure now. After all, the master has been working hard on state affairs and has made many enemies. This is also
There’s no way to avoid it.”
Ji Sun Yiru nodded.
"Hey... that's right. How can we, the three generations of the Ji family, have so few enemies in our current status? How can we, Qingfu, Dongmen Xiangzhong, Shusun, and even today's Li Ran, still have few enemies?...
"
As they were talking, suddenly, a cry of killing came from the outer forest!
Ji Sunyiru was also shocked. He climbed up and squinted his eyes to look into the distance. However, this place was close to a water source and the terrain was low, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
Yang Hu protects Ji Sun Yiru.
"Yang Hu is here, my lord, don't worry!"
Ji Sun Yiru felt a little calmer, but the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and the surrounding guards had begun to engage each other in hand-to-hand combat. For a while, screams and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously, and the situation seemed to be getting more and more unfavorable.
Yang Hu escorted Ji Sun Yiru to the carriage. Ji Sun Yiru climbed onto the carriage and urged:
"Tiger, go quickly!"
Yang Hu jumped up and reached the shaft of the carriage, but did not drive the horse on the road. Ji Sun Yiru secretly felt that something was wrong, picked up the sword hanging on the carriage, and shouted:
"Tiger! Get out of here quickly!"
Yang Hu then replied:
"Lord! We seem to be surrounded!"
When Ji Sun Yiru heard this, his expression changed drastically.
"Where are the guards? Where are my personal followers?"
"The tiger deserves to die. It's just because the tiger was greedy for power and wanted to take the family master back to Qufu early, so he was all left behind. He hasn't arrived yet..."
When Ji Sun Yiru heard this, he couldn't help but became furious. But at this critical moment, he could sit in this position and would never lose his mind over such a thing. The only person he could count on at the moment was Yang Hu.
Soon, he calmed down:
"Tiger! Escort me out quickly!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Hu suddenly stood up, lifted the curtains of the car, and looked down at Ji Sun Yiru with a ferocious face.
Ji Sun Yiru was so astute that he immediately guessed Yang Hu's intention.
He straightened his sword and stabbed Yang Hu, but Yang Hu easily blocked it.
Ji Sun Yiru angrily said:
"Yang Hu, are you going to do what Nan Kuai did?"
Yang Hu forced Ji Sun Yiru into a corner of the carriage.
"My lord, I'm sorry. Just because my lord has misbehaved, Yang Hu will do justice for heaven today!"
Ji Sun Yiru cursed:
"Yang Hu! As a retainer of my Ji family, I will treat you well... Why do you do such a treasonous and unethical act?!"
"My lord is very kind to the tiger, but there is a saying in ancient times that 'paraffin kills relatives for justice', as the saying goes, 'a small favor is not worth the fate of the country'! Unless the lord dies, Lu will be in trouble!"
"My lord attacked Ju on behalf of the king, but sacrificed human beings to Boshe. He allowed the king to enjoy four beauties, while he only enjoyed eight beauties. After that, he deceived the king so that his guest died outside, and even used Lu's wealth to bribe him.
The Fan family of Jin State."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Every one of these, every one of them, which one is not perverse?!"
As a retainer of the Ji family, Yang Hu is very clear about Ji Sun Yiru's "crimes" over the years. Now he lists them one by one, and he speaks with righteousness and sternness.
Among them, the so-called sacrifice of human beings to Boshe refers to the fact that Ji Sun Yiru took charge of state affairs at that time and won the battle in Ju State, so he killed all the prisoners as human sacrifices to Boshe.
Speaking of which, there is a reason for this.
Just because the place where the Lu State is located was originally the hometown of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Therefore, the Lu State originally had two societies, one was the Zhou Society and the other was the Bo Society. The Zhou Society practiced Zhou rites, and the Bo Society practiced the old Yin and Shang rites.
present.
Human sacrifice was the original sacrificial culture of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
However, although the Lu State had Boshe, it was used with great caution.
Just because the State of Lu was the fiefdom of Zhou Gongdan, it enjoyed the rites and music of the Zhou king. Therefore, as a vassal state with the most prosperous Zhou rites, it should set an example and not use living people as sacrifices.
However, Ji Sunyiru actually used human beings to sacrifice themselves to sacrifice Boshe again. This can be said to be "forgetting the virtues of the ancestors".
Therefore, at that time, even Zang Wuzhong, a sage from the state of Lu who fled to the state of Qi, directly criticized this behavior:
"I'm afraid Zhou Gong won't enjoy the sacrifices of Lu anymore, right? Killing someone as a sacrifice is too frivolous for Zhou's rites. Who else can God bless?"
Although, the reason why Ji Sun Yiru did this back then was largely to frighten the Ju people in the future.
But at this moment, it has become a crime used by others to liquidate themselves!
What Yang Hu said made Ji Sun Yiru unable to refute.
It can be said that Yang Hu has stood on the commanding heights of morality. Therefore, even though he is a retainer, he is still overwhelming Ji Sun Yiru!
Ji Sunyi's face was ashen at this moment:
"Tiger! Do you really want to harm me?"
"For the sake of the State of Lu and for the sake of all the people in the world, please forgive me for having to do this!"
Ji Sun Yiru's eyes widened.
"Hu! You can't do this. If you kill me, you will never have a foothold in the Lu Kingdom in the future!"
Yang Hu smiled slightly and shook his head:
"No need to worry about it, my lord. If my lord doesn't die now, how can the tiger sleep peacefully?!"
