Chapter 44: Yan Lingji accepts apprentices * ask for a monthly ticket](1/2)
"Old man, long time no see, but still remember me?" Wu Chenzi stood in the Qi court and looked at the queen and asked with a smile.
"It's sir!" The queen looked at Wu Chenzi and was a little surprised, and then said, "I didn't expect that the Ninth Master would come too!"
"Don't blame me, I didn't change my identity at the beginning, so I used Han Fei's name to pretend to be Wu Chenzi, the head of the Taoist sect." Wu Chenzi said awkwardly.
It’s not that the Queen could not recognize him. The paintings of ancient painters were simply guessing, and it was still difficult to recognize him, especially now that he still had a beard.
As for other identification methods, they only write about height, body shape and special marks. He is about the same size as Han Fei, and there are only a few adjectives, which are suitable for both him and Han Fei.
"I didn't expect that the sir was actually the national teacher of Qin." The queen sighed, but she was even more puzzled why Wu Chenzi was the national teacher of Qin and wanted to help them.
"Come!" The queen looked at Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian, and spoke again, but ordered the imperial guards to enter the hall.
"The Empress Dowager cannot be, the two countries will not be killed when they fight!" The officials of Qi were shocked in an instant and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. Now that Qin Qi has not yet started a war, once Wu Chenzi is taken down, it will definitely give Qin a warning to start a war.
"The Queen Mother, no!" Fu Nian hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.
The queen looked at Fu Nian and said angrily: "Take Fu Nian down!"
"???" Fu Nian was stunned. Why did he take me?
"???" Wu Chenzi was also stunned. He was ready to resist, but he took it down.
"???" All the officials of Qi were also stunned. It wasn't Wu Chenzi? But what did you do to take Fu Nian? Fu Nian is the contemporary leader of Confucianism.
The court soldiers were also stunned. They were all ready to find a way to take Wuchenzi, but how could it be Fu Nian?
"Why did the Queen Mother take me?" Fu Nian asked at the Queen without any haste.
"Yes, old man, Mr. Fu Nian accompanied me." Wu Chenzi also asked, without saying a word, and if he wanted to take it, he would take it.
"The king followed Fu Nian to go out, but died unexpectedly. Mr. Fu Nian didn't plan to give Qi an explanation?" said the queen angrily.
"Oh, so that's it, let's take it down!" Wu Chenzi looked at the palace soldiers and retreated aside. After all, King Jian of Qi was indeed taken out by Fu Nian, and then disappeared. It would be abnormal for someone else's mother to not arrest you.
"Why did the King of Qi go out? I haven't told the Queen Mother?" Fu Nian was also stunned. He thought that King Jian of Qi had left to tell the Queen Mother.
"Never!" The queen looked at the palace soldiers and said, signaling the soldiers to take Fu Nian down.
"..." Fu Nian was speechless, but the Qi Dynasty's congress hall was suppressed by the national fortune, so it was difficult for him to resist if he wanted to resist.
"The crime of taking King Qi out of the palace and dying is quite serious!" Wu Chenzi said with a smile as he looked at Fu Nian.
The most important thing is that what King Jian of Qi did cannot be publicly known to everyone, so Fu Nian can't explain it now.
"Can the Queen Mother allow me to explain privately!" Fu Nian said, looking at the Queen without caring about the soldiers around him.
The queen frowned. She knew that even if she wanted to kill Fu Nian, she could not do it. Confucianism had too much power in Qi. Even if she took Fu Nian now, she might have been rescued before she was imprisoned.
The most important thing is that Fu Nian was personally taken into the palace by King Jian of Qi and then voluntarily left with Fu Nian, so she also wanted to know what did King Jian of Qi do to cause death.
"Sir, protect the Ai family!" The queen looked at Wu Chenzi and said, then turned around and left the Chaohui Hall.
"???" Wu Chenzi was stunned, but he still followed the King and left.
"I believe so much?" Wu Chenzi asked curiously at the Queen.
If he is the national commander of the enemy country to protect himself, is the queen stupid or something?
"The entire Qi State can protect the Ai family in Fu Nian's hands, so the Ai family can only trust the gentleman." The queen looked at Wu Chenzi and continued, "The Ai family believes in the gentleman."
Wu Chenzi nodded. They knew that Confucianism was very powerful in Qi, but they didn't expect that it was so big that no one could stop Fu Nian in the palace.
"Tell me, what did my son and you do?" The king came to the garden of the Qi Palace and looked at Fu Nian and asked.
"Before explaining, Nian Xiang knows, how much did the Empress Dowager know about King Qi's departure from the palace?" Fu Nian thought for a moment before asking.
"I don't know much, but I just told the Ai family before the king left the palace that he met Emperor Zhuanxu, and then told the Ai family that he wanted to do a big thing, and Qi State was temporarily handed over to the Ai family for the control." The queen said.
"The Queen Mother can see it yourself!" Fu Nian sighed, then glanced at Wu Chenzi and signaled him to look at the Queen carefully.
Wu Chenzi took the cloth that Fu Nian took out from his arms, opened it and saw a letter from home. So he chose not to read the contents and handed it over to the queen.
"This was the last handed over to Nian by King Qi, and let Nian hand it over to the Empress Dowager." Fu Nian sighed. He didn't know what the content in the letter was, but he should explain the causes and consequences of the whole thing clearly.
The queen looked at the letter in Wu Chenzi's hand and stood up quickly, snatched it over. Before she could open the seal, she tore open the envelope and held the letter in her hand. Her hands trembled but she held the letter tightly in her arms.
Fu Nian and Wu Chenzi looked at each other and sighed. The most difficult letter to send is the letter from the deceased.
"The Queen is old, please watch!" Fu Nian looked at Wu Chenzi and reminded him.
This kind of ultimate letter is the most likely to make people overexcited. The queen is already old, and they are afraid that if the queen is accidentally excited and will get angry, they will be sorry to King Jian of Qi.
However, unexpectedly, after reading the letter, the Queen looked at Fu Nian calmly and said, "It was the Ai family who blamed Mr. I hope he won't blame him for the previous incident."
"It's understandable!" Fu Nian nodded and bowed.
"The king did not say in his letter what he was going to do, nor did he allow the Ai family to investigate. He just told the Ai family that the Tian family and the Qi people would not experience war from now on, so he asked the Ai family to take good care of Qi. As for the battle between Qin and Qi, he would also allow the court officials to make a decision." The queen looked at Fu Nian and said.
Fu Nian looked at Wu Chenzi, who was silent for a moment and said, "Since the King of Qi did not let the Empress Dowager know, we don't have to say much. Mr. Fu Nian and I came here this time, in addition to discussing the Qin and Qi state affairs, there is another thing."
"What's the matter?" the queen asked, looking at Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian.
"The posthumous title of King Qi!" Wu Chenzi said.
"The posthumous title of the king is not determined by the ministers and reported to the Taimiao?" The queen looked at Wuchenzi and Fu Nian and asked.
"Confucianism decided that Master Xun personally presided over the funeral for King Qi and gave him a posthumous title." Fu Nian said.
"Master Xun?" The queen looked at Fu Nian in surprise. The funeral of King Qi was usually hosted by the Taimiao Order, and the funerals of kings of various countries were also like this. Although they were also hosted by Confucian children, there were very few people with extremely high status like Master Xun, and the State of Qi did not think that King Jian of Qi could allow Master Xun to host the funeral in person.
"The Confucianism first established the posthumous title of King Qi, Xiao'an." Fu Nian continued.
"Beautiful posthumous?" The queen was even more surprised. With King Jian of Qi's achievements, at most, a common posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous
"This is what King Qi deserves." Wu Chenzi said.
"What did the king do after leaving the palace?" The queen looked at Wuchenzi and Fu Nian and asked seriously.
Wu Chenzi shook his head, and Fu Nian also avoided the gaze of the queen. Since King Jian of Qi didn't want the queen to know until his death, they didn't need to say much, so let the queen spend his old age in peace and no need to bother with anything else.
"When the old man was alive, Qin would not send troops against Qi. Just think that Qin would thank the King of Qi for his actions on behalf of the people of the world!" Wu Chenzi continued to look at the queen.
Fu Nian was stunned, looked at Wu Chenzi, then looked at the Queen, and finally nodded.
"Qin State intends to give up attacking Qi?" The queen looked at Wu Chenzi in surprise and asked.
"As long as the old man is alive for one day, Qin will not attack Qi in one day." Wu Chenzi said seriously.
"Sir, have you already got a plan to align? Let's take a look!" The queen looked at Wu Chenzi and asked.
"In the battle of Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Qi each set out a large army and started a war in Xue!" Wu Chenzi said.
"The Battle of Spring and Autumn?" The Queen looked at Wu Chenzi. After years of fighting for hegemony, the Battle of Spring and Autumn has long been eliminated, so the Queen did not expect that Qin would propose the Battle of Spring and Autumn.
"It's a pity that Qi has no general to fight against the Qin army now." The queen sighed. She knew that the Qin State would start the Spring and Autumn War because of King Jian of Qi, but Qi itself was not successful, so no one else could blame.
"I'll bring someone to serve as the general of Qi State." Wu Chenzi said to the queen.
"Wang Jian, Meng Wu? Or Wang Ben?" the queen looked at Wu Chenzi and asked.
Wu Chenzi shook his head and said, "No matter whether it is Wang Jian or General Meng Wu, Qi State cannot recognize them, so I brought Weizhuang, the disciple of Guigu."
"Guigu Disciple? Weizhuang!" The queen was a little surprised and nodded. Guiguzi's disciples were indeed the easiest to be accepted by Qi.
"Will Mr. Wei Zhuang come to Linzi later?" Wu Chenzi continued.
"The Ai family will have someone waiting at the city gate." Queen Mother Jun nodded and replied.
"If nothing happens, we will leave first." Wu Chenzi said to the queen.
"Sir, go slowly!" The queen stood up and watched Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian leave.
"The Queen..." Fu Nian looked at Wu Chenzi and hesitated for a moment, but he didn't speak after all.
"There is no greater sorrow than death of the heart. The queen is already dead. The deadline is approaching. King Jian of Qi can fight for the human race for ten years. Qin can naturally wait until the queen dies before destroying Qi." Wu Chenzi sighed.
"Then the next step is Qin's attack on Yan?" Fu Nian asked at Wu Chenzi.
"Well, let's leave Qi for the last moment. After the king enjoys his old age, he will send troops to Qi to fulfill the filial piety of King Jian of Qi." Wu Chenzi said in his eyes at the sky.
However, before Wuchenzi and Fu Nian left Linzi, they met the queen's personal visit.
"I've seen the Queen Mother!" Fu Nian and Wu Chenzi both stood up and saluted, and helped the Queen to sit in their seats.
"Mr. Weizhuang has arrived and is temporarily arranged to live in the inn. He will be appointed as the General of Qi soon." The queen looked at Wuchenzi and Fu Nian and said.
"We already know." Fu Nian nodded and replied. They naturally knew about such a big thing. With the support of Confucianism and the queen, Wei Zhuang became the general of Qi State very smoothly.
"The Ai family comes today. There are two things, or one thing." The queen looked at Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian and said.
"Please tell me, Empress Dowager." Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian said hurriedly.
"The king has a son and a daughter. The Ai family hopes to join the disciples of the two gentlemen." The queen looked at Fu Nian and Wu Chenzi and said.
Fu Nian frowned, then looked at Wu Chenzi and said, "Confucianism does not accept female disciples, so..."
"There is no such rule in Taoism, so you can worship Taiyi Mountain." Wu Chenzi replied. Even for the sake of King Jian of Qi, it would be fine to accept such a disciple.
"The Ai family hopes that they can get the personal teaching of the two gentlemen." The queen continued to look at Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian.
Wu Chenzi and Fu Nian both frowned, and then looked at each other. It was nothing they could accept disciples, but they would participate in the Battle of the Sky in the future. Life and death were unpredictable. King Jian of Qi had already made sacrifices for the human race. He could not let his descendants go with them to face danger.
"I know that what the two gentlemen and the king must have done is a rare event since ancient times, and the king also sacrificed his life for it. However, they are the king's descendants and should inherit the will of their father and follow the two gentlemen to follow their father's footsteps." The queen continued.
To be continued...
