heartbeat(1/5)
Gongsun Hua, the Ji surname, Zheng family, and the name is Hua, the grandson of Zheng Wugong, so he is called Gongsun Hua. He is both Gongsun and Gongsun Zi, but the difference is only generation. Gongsun Zi is both grandson of Duke Huan of Zheng, and Gongsun Hua is the grandson of Duke Wugong. According to generation, Gongsun Zi is both the uncle of Gongsun Hua.
Gongsun Hua was the nephew of Zheng Bosheng. Zheng Bosheng's brother of his father and mother, and the son of Gongzi Shuduan. Logically speaking, he should be in a high position and was Gongsun, who was the descendant of the Gong clan of Zheng State. Unfortunately, his son Shuduan was known as Taishu in the capital and plotted against rebellion. After Zheng Bosheng put down the rebellion in the capital, Gongsun Hua fled to the Republic, while Gongsun Hua, the son of Gongsun Hua, was missing.
Now Zheng Bosheng has just quelled the second rebellion of Gongshu Duan in Meishan. Unexpectedly, Gongshu Duan's son Gongsun Hua actually mingled between the kitchens of Zheng Palace. If you calculate this, Gongshu Duan was defeated in the rebellion and Gongsun Hua disappeared, so he fled to the capital of Zheng State Lao Zheng City, and entered the kitchen, becoming a nurse of Zheng State.
No wonder Gongsunzi went to visit Zhu Dan with Qi Lu a few days ago. He happened to meet the sloppy man who was still a husband at that time. Gongsunzi said that he was a little sloppy man, and he seemed to be chatting with him.
In fact, it was not that Gongsunzi had fallen in love with the color of Liu Gan, so he met him for some reason, but because Gongsunzi really thought Liu Gan looked familiar. Liu Gan and Zi were both Gongsun. Although Gongsun Hua did not enter the officialdom in the past and rarely participated in various activities of the Gong clan, Gongsunzi had met Gongsun Hua several times ago. However, later Gongsun Hua followed his father, Gongsun Shuduan to the fiefdom of the capital and never came back. Therefore, Gongsunzi had not seen Gongsun Hua for a long time and almost couldn't remember him like him.
It's a coincidence that in Lao Zheng City, there are very few people who have seen Gongsun Hua. Except for Gongsun Zi who had met the young Gongsun Hua many years ago, there were only two people who knew Gongsun Hua. It was precisely because of this that Gongsun Hua was mixed in the kitchen of Zheng Palace for several years and was not discovered.
Only the two people who knew Gongsun Hua, one was Zheng Bosheng today. Zheng Bosheng and Gongshuduan were brothers, so they naturally knew their own nephews. The second person who knew Gongsun Hua was Taizai Ji Zhong, who was one of the only ones in Zheng State. Ji Zhong was the housekeeper of the entire Zheng State, and he had to deal with everything himself. Ji Zhong naturally knew Gongsun Hua.
Unfortunately, although Shinfu Smooth Garlic has been very famous recently, neither Zheng Bosheng nor Ji Zhong took Smooth Garlic seriously, so he never went to see Smooth Garlic, which also caused Smooth Garlic to be like a fish in the kitchen and actually got to the position of Smooth Garlic. Even the meals of Zheng Bo and Dazai in the palace were all from the hands of this enemy. Now, thinking about it, I am afraid that I will be afraid of it and need to sweat a cold sweat.
Gongsun Hua stood in front of everyone, standing in front of everyone, in the huge Yanyan Hall, Gongsun Hua stood out from the crowd. His appearance was outstanding and beautiful. Now under the lights, he made him look even more extraordinary and unparalleled, just like a banished immortal who was not as good as a fireworks in the world. However, the banished immortal showed a hideous smile on his face.
Gongsun Hua looked at Zheng Uncle Sheng who was falling on the ground and said, "Why, did my uncle not expect it to be a nephew?"
Zheng Bosheng narrowed his eyes, his voice hoarse, covering his chest, as if he had used all his strength, and said hoarsely: "I didn't expect you to run to the bottom of the lonely nose and die!"
Gongsun Hua raised his wide sleeves and chuckled with his lips. The dark clothes made him look fair and beautiful, just like the brilliance of daylight hitting his bright eyes. The look of covering his lips and laughing made Gongsun Hua look extremely rampant, noble and artificial. However, no matter how artificial Gongsun Hua was, he was still beautiful... and that perverted aura.
Gongsun Hua almost smiled back and forth, then his smile closed. It was simply said that the wind was rain. He laughed when he wanted to laugh, and cried when he wanted to cry, and turned his face ruthlessly. Gongsun Hua instantly changed into a cruel face, sneered in a ferocious sneer, and said hoarsely: "Send to death?! Today I am standing here, there are also soldiers of Song Wei, Chen and Cai in the east gate of Lao Zheng City. What qualifications do you have to say that I am sending death?! It is clearly you who sent death!"
The Spring and Autumn Period was a very "primitive" period. The time when Ji Lin was born was a watershed. His eldest father, King Ping of Zhou, lived in the expiration of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. It can be said that there were not many conspiracies in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and wars were all confrontation between the two armies, let alone thirty-six strategies.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Spring and Autumn Period was always connected with the Warring States Period. However, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been crossed for hundreds of years. If you ask what is the difference between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then you can actually summarize it in one sentence. People in the Warring States Period are all black in cutting, one is more black in heart, but people in the Spring and Autumn Period are relatively simple.
The four-nation coalition forces sent troops, and they attacked Huanglong and attacked the east gate of the capital of Zheng. This sounds incredible, but it could happen in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the reason was very simple. As mentioned before, the people in the Spring and Autumn Period were relatively simple. They fought against the two armies. Song Xianggong, one of the famous Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, had to wait for the Chu army to cross the river safely and set up the formation before the attack could begin. It can be seen how "righteous" the war was at that time.
Simply put, at this time, neither the Emperor nor the Zheng Bo had ever seen the coalition of princes. In the past, the princes beat you and I beat you. Whether it was annexation or conquest, it was popular to fight one-on-one battles. If you could beat them, you would be scolded. Since Gongsun Hua said about the four countries, the war between princes opened up a new way of fighting, that is, the coalition!
Before Gongsun Hua, there was no such thing as a coalition among the princes, so let alone Zheng Bosheng, the local officials of Zheng did not expect that they would really launch a coalition, so they were killed off guard and actually killed directly to the gate of the capital of Zheng.
It has to be said that Gongsun Hua is a talent. He can lobby the four countries and let the princes who are afraid of each other organize a coalition force to fight against Zheng State together, opening up a new pattern of the Spring and Autumn War. He is indeed a talent.
This battle of the four-nation coalition forces besieged Zheng State was well-known in history and was called the Battle of the East Gate. It was the most shameful failure of Zheng Boxian's life.
Gongsun Hua sorted out his robes and slowly paced the Yanyin Hall, with his expression seemingly leisurely, and said with a chuckle: "Why, uncle, didn't you expect? The four countries that you despise at all have joined forces to send troops?"
Gongsun Hua said quietly: "Indeed, my nephew has really put a lot of effort into lobbying the four countries. The king of Wei has just ascended the throne. Because he may anger your uncle, he can't make up his mind whether to cooperate with his nephew. Chen's land is too small, and the king is a swaying person, and he can't make up his mind. As for Cai, Cai did not agree at first, because he was afraid that Zheng would hate them. As for Song, Song was the one who cooperated the most, but Song's original intention was not to give you ugly things. It was just because Song was very worried that his cousin would be in trouble in Zheng and would not be able to eat or wear warmth, so he wanted to invite his cousin home, and was the first to agree to send troops to my nephew."
Indeed, if you want to lobby four countries in one go, it seems like you are using a missed scoop to scoop sea water. This is simply impossible. However, Gongsun Hua did this.
Gongsun Hua said with a smile: "Although all the kings have their own difficulties, uncle, do you know that the biggest difficulty of these four kings is watching Zheng grow stronger and stronger!"
Zheng State is growing stronger and even the emperor is not taken seriously. King Ping of Zhou, who died shortly after his death, was squeezed in his palm by Zheng Bosheng. Zheng State has grown to an unprecedented level. If this continues, the whole world will belong to Zheng State, so other countries are very worried.
No matter which country it is, even the powerful Qi State, Lu State with a profound historical heritage, or the Song State with a great title, cannot fight alone with Zheng State.
Gongsun Hua smiled, with a sarcastic smile again, and said, "Uncle, do you know what is the most terrible and what is the most pitiful? It's such a coincidence that they are all fear. If a person has fear, he can do anything?"
Because the four countries of Song, Wei, Chen and Cai were afraid of Zheng, so after Gongsun Hua's lobbying, they really began to be moved. They secretly signed an alliance and prepared to send troops to attack Zheng together, which finally led to the battle at the East Gate.
Zheng Bosheng said coldly: "Zheng Hua! Now that you have brought troops from other countries into our Zheng State, are you still the descendant of my old Zheng people?!"
Ji Zhong's eyes moved slightly, as if inspired by Zheng Bo, and he said sternly: "Gongsun, your grudges with Zheng State are just personal grudges. Now, your hatred for one person not only leads troops from the four countries into Lao Zheng City, but also plots murder together with the emperor. What does this mean?"
Gongsun Hua smiled and said, "Ji Zhong, I know you are a fox, it's okay. Don't worry, Hua dares to act and take responsibility. Now I did this, Hua admits... No mistake, I'm going to murder the emperor, so what? As long as I can take revenge, Hua... I will do whatever I want!"
Ji Zhong originally wanted to provoke the relationship between Gongsun Hua and Luo Shi, so he asked Luo Shi to come forward to fight Gongsun Hua, but he didn't know that Gongsun Hua was so "hard" and directly admitted such a rebellious thing.
Gongsun Hua raised his lips and walked forward slowly, step by step towards Zheng Bosheng's position. Zheng Bosheng sat near the position of his hand. As soon as Gongsun Hua walked over, Ji Lin immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at Gongsun Hua's every move with caution. He raised his hand slightly, holding Qi Lu, who was softly sank on the ground behind him.
Gongsun Hua did not touch Ji Lin and Qi Lu, but walked to Zheng Bosheng, and suddenly unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Ji Zhong's neck.
"Huh!"
Ji Zhong moaned briefly, and his breath was immediately strangled. Although Ji Zhong had commanded the battle, he was not from a general. He was lifted up by Gongsun Hua, who was slender, and his face turned red in an instant.
"Random! What are you doing?" Zheng Bosheng struggled to stand up, but because of his weakness, he fell to the ground with a "bang", shouting loudly at Gongsun Hua.
Gongsun Hua said in a very comfortable mood: "If you don't do anything, you don't have to worry. You just say hello to Jixiang. Those who are loyal to my father who killed my father for his uncle are also included Jixiang, right?"
Gongsun Hua closed his five fingers, and his nails almost fell into Ji Zhong's neck. He immediately pinched several marks. Ji Zhong couldn't even cough because of his suffocation. His fingers tightly grabbed Gongsun Hua's hand, and the strength became weaker and weaker.
Zheng Bosheng saw it in his eyes, and a fierce anger immediately rose in his eyes, and he roared, "Zheng Hua!"
Gongsun Hua smiled "haha" and suddenly let go. "Bang!" threw Ji Zhong to the ground. Ji Zhong's face had changed from red to blue. He was suddenly released and fell to the ground. He coughed rapidly. He suddenly burst into his throat and let out a thick gasp of "ho-ho-ho-" sound.
Gongsun Wa patted his palm, as if shaking the dust, and said, "Uncle, please don't do it yourself, because there are too many people who want to do it. Listen... Have the army of the four countries arrived? Was it as if he had heard the sound of killing from the city gate, so he didn't know whether the city gate was strong and whether it could resist the attack of the army of the four countries."
It was really a sound of killing, a mess. I wonder if Gongsun Hua's words were too contagious. The officials present seemed to hear the sound of killing from the Four-Nation Alliance, as if they were right in their ears, and they could break through the gate of Lao Zheng City in a short while.
The nobles and officials felt pain in their abdomen, they fell on the mat and could not move, their faces were extremely difficult to see, and they whispered in a low voice.
Gongsun Hua enjoyed the fear on everyone's faces very much. His eyes turned and fell quietly on Qi Lu on the side.
Ji Lin immediately narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to protect Qi Lu behind him. When Gongsun Hua saw the emperor's cautious look, he smiled slightly and said, "Son of the time, please rest assured. Hua has no grudges and Taifu Qi, and he has to thank Taifu Qi. If it weren't for the poor tutor, how could I become a sergeant of the Chufu now? So openly, I'm tampered with the uncle and the nobles? It's really interesting. As long as you pretend to be weaker, there will be so many people coming to take care of you. Do you think it's interesting?"
Qi Lu did not answer his words, but said: "The chefs said that you do the dishes of Yanyin by yourself, but you do it yourself, but because you want to poison the meal?"
Gongsun Hua smiled calmly and said, "That's right."
He didn't stumble, and then said, "What a pity. Hua Ben admires the character of the Taifu and wants to be friends with the Taifu. It's a pity... Taifu, you are in the wrong camp!"
After Gongsun Hua finished speaking, he looked at Ji Lin who was protecting Qi Lu and said, "Son of the world, can you make a deal?"
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and did not speak immediately.
Gongsun Hua chuckled and said, "The emperor is really cautious. This transaction is not worth much to the emperor. As long as the emperor immediately issues an edict to kill Zheng Bosheng and rehabilitate my father, then Hua will not only not do anything to the emperor and the Grand Tutor, but will also respectfully send antidotes to ensure that the emperor is safe and sound."
"Ping An? Wuyou?" Ji Lin finally spoke. This was the first time he spoke, and even smiled.
In this serious scene, Gongsun Hua was the only one laughing. The officials were panicked and their faces were pale. Zheng Bosheng looked serious. Ji Zhong was almost dead when he was pinched. Only Gongsun Hua was the winner, so he kept laughing, laughing back and forth, while the emperor, who was also surrounded by the coalition forces, suddenly laughed.
Ji Lin's smile is different from Gongsun Hua. Gongsun Hua's smile reveals rebelliousness in her beautiful smile, while Ji Lin's smile reveals a hint of calmness in her nobleness, without even a little worry or fear. Even when facing such a scene, it is still so orderly.
Ji Lin smiled lowly and asked, "Gongsun Hua, can you keep me safe? What about the soldiers and horses of the four countries outside? You can be sure that among those people, there are no traitors, and there are no ones who want to be the head of me? Why do you keep me safe?"
Gongsun Hua's face froze immediately. He didn't expect that a young emperor would look so long. Indeed, Gongsun Hua just made a promise just now. Even if Gongsun Hua did not kill Ji Lin, once the four-nation coalition forces outside came in, they would be surrounded by Zheng and the emperor. That would be a ruthless act. If Ji Lin was not killed to silence him, wouldn't he be pointed at by the world and would never look up again.
In this way, the coalition forces of the four countries decided to kill Zheng Bo and together with the determination to kill the monarch, they came to besiege Lao Zheng City.
Although the emperor has only been in power for a few months, he has been very decisive and bold in the past few months, so many countries are very self-inflicted. Although the emperor supported the emperor to take power, the emperor also felt that he was in danger. The emperor could support himself or others, and he would not be able to sleep peacefully after he took power.
As for Cai State, Cai Houcuo's father was stripped of his title of monarch and sent back to Cai State. He felt that his face had been completely lost. How could he not feel revenge?
Song Gong and Yi were completely worried that his cousin Feng stayed in Zheng State, and his son Feng became the godson of the emperor. Song Gong dreamed that his son Feng had entered Song State and kicked himself out of the position of king.
As for Chen State, Chen State is simply a fence-bearer. He was sandwiched between Song State and Cai State, and faced the majesty of the emperor. He could not bear the loneliness and wanted to get a share of the pie, so he naturally joined the Four-Nation Alliance.
To put it bluntly, these countries are not only afraid of Zheng State, but also fear of the young emperor who had just ascended the throne. In this case, once Ji Lin is captured, how could he raise a tiger to be a disaster?
Gongsun Hua's face was embarrassed, but he was only embarrassed for a moment. He quickly regained his calmness. His smile calmed down and he put on a cruel expression. He walked up to the seat step by step, slowly lowered his lower body, raised his hand, and suddenly approached the emperor.
Ji Lin sat on the table without moving at all, and didn't even blink his eyes. He seemed not to see Gongsun Hua in his eyes at all, and there was no feeling that he was doing the chopping board and I was doing the fish.
Gongsun Hua suddenly approached Ji Lin, and under the eyes of everyone, he breathed a sigh of relief on Ji Lin's lips. His voice was gentle and could pinch out water. He said charmingly: "Son of Heaven, isn't Gai born well? If you can rehabilitate my father, you will be willing to do whatever the emperor wants."
Ji Lin faced Gongsun Hua's beautiful and charming face, turned his head slightly, and looked straight into Gongsun Hua's eyes calmly. Although Gongsun Hua spoke with a smile and his voice was gentle, there was no gentleness in his eyes, but instead he was cold.
Ji Lin said lightly: "Gongsun is willing to ask me if I can take a fancy to you."
Gongsun Hua narrowed his eyes, and his gentle voice disappeared instantly, and he could switch freely. He clamped Ji Lin's chin. Although he was slender, he seemed to be a little bird standing in front of the tall Ji Lin, but he revealed a sense of ruthlessness and said hoarsely: "Son of the Emperor, now Liu has given you enough face. If the Emperor insists on not being shameless, don't blame Liu Ling for being cruel and ruthless. If the Emperor does not issue an edict today, remove Zheng Bo Sheng's title and rehabilitate my father, then Liu Ling... Now he will cut off the emperor's tongue and drink. What about it? I guess that taste must be sweet."
When Gongsun Hua said this, he heard a "bang!" the next moment, and felt a stinging pain in the back of his hand. He was hit hard and directly slapped his hand holding Ji Lin's chin.
Gongsun Hua was surprised. First, the other party was surprised and Gongsun Hua was not prepared at all. Second, the people in Yanyin Hall, whether they were princes or officials, should have eaten the meal that Gongsun Hua personally cooked. At this time, they were all in unbearable pain and fell to the ground and couldn't take it. How could there be such a big effort in life?
Gongsun Hua suddenly turned his head and saw that it was the Emperor's Grand Tutor, Qi Lu!
Qi Lu took a deep breath and stood up from behind Ji Lin. He stood up, and he looked weak all over his body? He looked uncomfortable? He looked poisoned?
Qi Lu stood up and said quietly: "Lu takes it seriously...I have been tolerating you for a long time."
"Why are you..." Gongsun Hua was shocked, and all of them disappeared without a trace, looking at Qi Lu who was standing up in a daze.
Qi Lu raised his lips and said, "What's Lu? Did Gongsun want to ask, how can Lu have the strength to stand up?"
Qi Lu lowered his eyes, looked at the meal on the table, and said, "Gongsun, don't you really think that before Yan Drinking, Lu entered the kitchen just to see the geometry of today's dishes?"
Because Qi Lu often enters the kitchen on weekdays, in addition to his superb skills in food, Qi Lu is actually a foodie. He likes to go around the kitchen every day to see what is edible, so the chefs are no longer surprised, and Gongsun Hua is not prepared for any reason.
Qi Lu smiled faintly and said, "Lu entered the kitchen and asked Shifu what dishes there are today that Gongsun, you personally took care of. I have to say that the Shifus in Zhenggong are all very enthusiastic, and told Lu all the way..."
Qi Lu had a mosaic version of the spring dream the day before yesterday, and was completely sleepy, so he came out of the house and scattered. He met Zhu Dan on the night. Unexpectedly, the two of them happened to see the process of leaving Zheng Gong with the Fu Chuan from Sima's department.
After that, Qi Lu began to be on guard against the slimming. He entered the kitchen not just to see what he had eaten. In fact, Qi Lu had prepared a lot. After seeing the dishes prepared by the slimming, he immediately came to the small kitchen. Zheng Ji and several slimming husbands were already waiting in the small kitchen.
Qi Lu retelled all the dishes that Hua Gan personally took. Hua Gan knew that the emperor liked Qi Lu's skills and had always imitated Qi Lu's food, so it was cheaper now. Qi Lu and Zheng Ji came to change the rules and made the dishes that Hua Gan Gan himself again. When serving, the dishes that Hua Gan Gan changed the rules and all changed the dishes that were made by Qi Lu and Zheng Ji.
Qi Lu smiled slightly and said softly and friendly: "It's really a sin, and so many good dishes have been wasted."
"Impossible..." Gongsun Hua murmured: "You guys clearly..."
It was obvious that the poison was blown away, and they all sat on the table, unable to move at all!
Before Gongsun Hua finished speaking, Zheng Bosheng stood up from the mat and shook his sleeves coldly. Zheng Bosheng, who had an unbearable chest pain just now and had no strength to speak, actually pretended. He reached out and helped Ji Zhong, who had barely straightened his breath, from the ground, and said, "Why, good nephew, there are things you didn't expect?"
Gongsun Hua's eyes were obviously a little panicked. He trembled several times, but he still shook his head, thinking it was impossible, because even if Zheng Bosheng had outstanding acting skills, even if the emperor and Qi Lu were perfectly matched, what about the doctors?
These nobles and officials who are lying on the ground must be a manifestation of poisoning. If so many nobles and officials were not poisoned, how could they pretend to be so realistic? How could they have no flaws?
To be continued...
