Qi Gong Jiang Zhu'er entangled the forces of the four kingdoms, wanted to do justice to the world, and helped the wei monarch who had lost his throne to regain the throne of power. After he defeated Zhou Tianzi's army, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.
When the troops were withdrawn, Jiang Zhu'er asked Lian Zhi and Guan Zhifu, two doctors, to garrison the place of "Kuiqiu" to monitor the movements of the imperial court.
Kuiqiu, located at the junction of today's Henan and Shandong, near shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was guarded here, just in time to unite the Song state, effectively block the soldiers and horses of the imperial court Luoyang, and was the throat of the Qi and Lu countries.
At that time, it was very hard to form a side outside. The troops guarding the border are neither stationed in the capital nor in the suburbs, but on the border, and the land outside the suburbs is a primeval forest, and each city is alone and submerged in the vast forest peaks.
The conditions of living are poor, the food is even worse, and you have to dig up wild vegetables to eat.
According to the description in the Book of Poetry, the soldiers guarding the border are extremely hard, and they cannot be transferred back to the city for many years, and the desire to return to the city is from the time when the wild vegetables sprout to the wild vegetables to grow up, and then to the wild vegetables that are old and hard, and the year has passed like this.
Even the two doctors, Name and Guan Zhi's father, were people that Jiang Zhu'er did not like, and they were also his father's old courtiers. Arranging for the two of them to form sides outside can just keep the two of them far away, so as not to get in the way at home.
Moreover, Jiang Zhu'er was worried that tianzi would come to crusade against him, and using others was not as experienced as these two old comrades.
Therefore, when Jiang Zhu'er's class returned to the dynasty, the two doctors, Lian Zhi and Guan Zhi's father, were thrown into this desolate mountain.
On the day of his departure, the second general, Lian Zhi and Guan Zhizhi, came to Jiang Zhu'er's account and asked, "Lord, the matter of guarding is very hard, and the minister does not dare to resign, but how long do you have to keep it?" What is the duration? ”
At that time, Jiang Zhu'er was eating melon and said, "Okay, and the melon is substituted." Now is the time when the melon is ripe, and when the melon is ripe again next year, the widow will send someone to replace you. ”
This is the origin of the idiom "Guadai has a period", from the "Left Biography". The melon ripens once a year, that is, it can come back after one year. When it's time to eat melon next year, let the two of you go back to the city."
Lian Zhi and Guan Zhi's second general were stationed in Kuiqiu, and Tianzi did not send troops to attack the State of Qi, but there was nothing wrong. Time passed quickly, and the year was unconsciously mixed.
The two people had been looking forward to it abroad for a whole year, and finally looked forward to the time when the melon was ripe, but they did not look forward to Jiang Zhu'er's return to the city for a long time.
Lian Said was suspicious, so he specially sent a confidant to the country to inquire about the news.
That confidant came to Linzi City, went to several times, but could not see the shadow of Jiang Zhu'er, and repeatedly inquired, it turned out that Qi Gong Jiang Zhu'er had not been on the court for a month or two, and was outside having fun with Wen Jiang's sister.
The henchmen came back and told Lian The truth.
Hearing this, Lian Said was furious and cried, "Wang Ji is dead, my cousin should be the stepmother, no way to die, regardless of ethics, in the outside world, adulterous, but let me wait here to live and suffer!" If I go back, I will slaughter this fool!" ”
Guan Zhi's father advised, "Doctor Lian is angry, and he is angry." ”
Lian Said Angrily, "There is no way to deceive people too much!" He himself said that when the melon ripened, he would send someone to replace me, etc., for how could the king speak without faith? ”
Guan Zhi Father said, "Maybe the Lord has really forgotten." Instead, we ask someone to remind us. If the Emperor still does not allow it, then the military will inevitably resent, and hatred will change, and at that time, it can be used by us. ”
Lian Zhi thought about it and said, "Doctor Guan is right. ”
Therefore, after the two of them had discussed it, they sent someone to select two large melons and sent them to Linzi City to meet Jiang Zhu'er.
However, it is said that Jiang Zhu'er and Wen Jiang's sister were out playing all day, and on this day the two returned to Linzi in the same car, and they did not avoid people's eyes and ears.
Just at this time, the border guards sent melons and offered two large melons for Jiang Zhu'er to taste.
While eating melons, Jiang Zhu'er praised "good melons", that is, pretending not to know, and did not mention anything about returning to the city.
The little soldier who delivered the melon stood aside, waited for a long time, did not see any movement, and could not help asking: "Doctor Lian and Doctor Guan, send the small one to offer melons..."
Jiang Zhu'er's forearm flickered, and the melon seed jumped out of a large piece, and while spitting out the melon seed in his mouth, he drummed his cheeks and said, "I know, I know." ”
Xiao Bing asked again: "At this time, it is the season of melon ripening, and it is time to change people to replace them, so why didn't the lord send someone to go?" Both doctors called the little one to ask..."
Jiang Zhu'er waved his hand impatiently, "I know, I know." ”
The little soldier stood for a long time again, and then asked, "When will the little soldier go back to pay his respects?" ”
Jiang Zhu'er's melon had been eaten, washed his hands, and said slowly: "Okay, and the melon is substituted." Now that the melon is ripe, let's wait until the melon is ripe next year, and the widow will send someone to replace the two of them. The little soldier asked again, "It should be this year..."
Jiang Zhu'er was furious, stood up and shouted, "You go back and tell them!" The widow says when is the time, why rush! Wait until the melon is ripe! Did you hear that? ”
The little soldier had no choice but to come back, and they all reported truthfully.
When Lian Zhi heard this, he was full of hatred and said to Guan Zhi's father, "The Emperor is so unreasonable, I will kill him!" Doctor Guan, I will return to the Dynasty today and slaughter this Emperor with my own hands! Would you like to go with it? Help me! ”
Guan Zhi Father said, "I wish to follow Dr. Lian around." Whoever wants to do great things must first plan carefully, and then achieve them. ”
Lian Wei asked him, "What is your brilliant plan to do this big thing?" Speak up quickly! ”
Guan Zhi's father conspired with Lian Zhi and said, "According to Dr. Lian's opinion, if you disobey the order to return to the dynasty and kill the Emperor, can you be 100% sure?" ”
Lian Wei looked down and sighed darkly, and asked, "What is Dr. Guan's brilliant plan?" ”
Guan Zhi's father said, "If you can really get away with killing the Emperor when you go back, then both of you and I will be guilty of killing the King, and not only will the lives of the clan members be in danger, but we will also bear the infamy of the world." ”
Lian Wei sighed, "Oh! how! ”
Guan Zhi's father leaned closer and whispered, "If this big thing is to succeed, there is no one missing. ”
Lian Asked, "Who?" ”
Guan Zhi Father said, "Gongsun is ignorant. ”
Gongsun ignorance, that is, Jiang ignorance, he is the cousin of the current Duke of Qi, Jiang Zhu'er, the son of Yi Zhonglian, the younger brother of the previous Duke of Qi, and the grandson of the previous old Duke of Qi, so the history books generally refer to people with this status as "Gongsun".
When Duke Qi was alive, he doted on his children and disregarded the etiquette, not only making Jiang Zhu'er the prince, but also making Jiang ignorant and enjoying exactly the same treatment as the prince. In this way, in the eyes of many people, Jiang Ignorance can actually be regarded as the prince of the State of Qi.
In the past, Jiang Zhu'er and Jiang Zhi'er often performed martial arts wrestling in the palace, and Jiang Zhu'er used his feet to hook, and Jiang Zhu'er fell to the ground, so Jiang Zhu'er was unhappy and resentful. Later, Jiang Zhu'er Gui became a prince, expelled Jiang Ignorance from the palace, and his rank was halved, and Jiang Ignorance hated it for a long time!
If you want to kill Jiang Zhu'er, you must unite with Jiang Ignorance, and Jiang Ignorance will definitely help each other! If you kill Jiang Zhu'er and change Jiang Zhizhi to Qi Gong, many things will seem so justified.
Moreover, Jiang Zhu'er was cruel and disrespected the king's orders, which would only bring disaster to the state of Qi, while Gongsun was ignorant and wise, and knew the etiquette, and only by making him a king could he be peaceful.
If this matter is to be successful, it must be combined inside and outside.
Lian Zhi listened, did not feel that his eyes lit up, and asked: "Doctor Guan is right, it is not difficult to contact Gongsun, when will we act?" ”
Guan Zhi Father said, "This matter must be patiently waited for. The dimwitted monarch likes to use soldiers and is good at hunting. As long as he dares to go out of the city gate, he is like a fierce tiger leaving the cave, and it can be easily controlled! There is only one thing that is more difficult, we are in this wilderness, the news is closed, and how do we know when he will go out? ”
Lian shouted, "Good! Good! This is not difficult, my cousin is in the palace, fell out of favor with the emperor, resentment has been a long time, it is better to ask her to spy secretly, as soon as there is news, secretly report that Gongsun is ignorant, ignorance comes quickly, the starry night can hear each other, and the dusk is under my control! ”
Therefore, Lian Zhi wrote a secret letter, sent his henchmen, and sent it to meet Gongsun Ignorance.
Besides, Gongsun ignorantly was stripped of his previous treatment by Jiang Zhu'er and rushed back to his fiefdom. If he cannot be an official in the palace, he can only serve the people in the wilderness, which is only equivalent to a large farmer in the people, and it will be difficult for his descendants to enter the top level of the state again, unless they are particularly talented or have special encounters.
Therefore, Gongsun ignorantly hated Jiang Zhu'er to the bone!
The State of Qi to Jiang Zhu'er is the fourteenth generation, and many of them were previously branched by the early monarchs, and although they were not officials in the court, they were still very powerful in the local area. For example, the Gao clan and the Guo clan were all descendants of the early Qi Jun, and became the most prestigious clan of the State of Qi.
Because of the same encounter, Gongsun Ignorant got close to Gao Dai, Guozi Fei and others. These people couldn't stand Jiang Zhu'er anymore. Because if Jiang Zhu'er's tyranny brings benefits, they will not share half of the benefits, and if they cause disasters, they will all become scapegoats.
On this day, Gongsun Ignorant received a secret letter from Lian Zhidafu on the outside side, which said:
Wise grandson, you have always been favored by the ancestors, this is a fact that everyone can see, but you have been cut for no reason, and those who walk the road are also unfair to you.
Moreover, the emperor is promiscuous, the government decree is impermanent, the Aoi Qiu Jiushu, and the melon is not the substitute, and the rebel, why is he a king? Soldiers of the three armies, indignant and confused! If there is a gap that can be drawn, the subject even weighs, manages to the father, etc., and is willing to follow the work of the dog and the horse, and push it as hard as possible
Dai Gongsun for the new jun! My cousin, out of favor in the palace with resentment! This is the heavenly help of the grandson, thinking that the capital of the inner response, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again!
Gongsun was ignorant to read the secret letter, and was overjoyed, so after conspiring with Gao Dai, Guozi Fei and others, he immediately replied: "Heaven hates adulterers, and especially uses the general to eliminate violence and peace, and admires it to the point, if there is a quasi-letter, immediately rush to report it." ”
Gongsun was ignorant and asked his confidant to infiltrate the palace and contact Lian Fei's cousin, Jiang Zhu'er's side room.
Concubine Lian immediately agreed with them, secretly came to see The Ignorant, and the Ignorant showed her the secret letter of Lian Gui, and promised: "On the day of the fact, kill your husband, I will marry you, and make you Lady Qi Guozheng, and from now on, you will also be the Lady of the Princes!" I ginger ignorant words count, never renege on words! Concubine Lian agreed with a full mouth.
In this way, the next leader of the State of Qi reached the following agreement in the conspiracy:
Concubine Lian was responsible for monitoring Jiang Zhu'er's movements, and as soon as he left the city, he sent a message to Gongsun Ignorance; Gongsun Ignorance informed Lian Zhi and Guan Zhi's father as quickly as possible; Lian and Guan immediately led an army back to the palace, launched a coup d'état, and deposed the tyrant Jiang Zhu'er. After the fact, He established ignorance as the new prince of the State of Qi, Concubine Lilian as Lady qi guo, Li Lian as Qi Guo Zhengqing (Shang Dafu), and Li Guan zhi's father as Qi Guo Yaqing (Shang Dafu). Gao Dai, Guozi Fei and others also served as qi guo doctors.
Everyone is waiting patiently...
Finally, a few months later, it was october weather in early winter. Qi Gong Jiang Zhu'er was going out of the city to hunt again. In the deep mountains and dense forests of the State of Qi, there is a place called "Gu Tong", the wild of Gu Tong, there is a mountain,
The name of the mountain is "Beiqiu". Mount Bechiu is a gathering place for animals and animals, where you can go hunting.
This time, Jiang Zhu'er only took a few people with him and set off.
