"Dongsunzidu?"

Even Qi Lu was surprised. If I remember correctly, didn't the grandson and his grandson go to sacrifice teeth together with their younger brothers? It happened a long time ago, so why are they suddenly getting married? Can't they be married?

She is also a royal daughter of Qi State.

The officials were also in an uproar. Of course, they did not know the relationship between Gongsunzidu and Yaji, but they all knew about the relationship between Zheng and Qi. In the alliance of great powers, Zheng and Qi were originally allies, and Zheng and Qi were both "superpowers"

", Once these two countries get married, it will be a powerful alliance!

Today, the Marquis of Qi does have daughters, but the eldest daughter has not reached the age of marriage, so the daughter of the Duke and his grandson is not the Marquis of Qi, but the daughter of the clan. Lufu, the Marquis of Qi, has a younger brother, who is called in history

Yi Zhongnian is also called Qi Zhongnian. Yi means east, Zhong means ranking, and Nian means his name. The descendants of Yi Zhongnian gradually formed the surname Nian.

This Yi Zhongnian is the biological brother of Qi Hou Lufu from the same father and mother. Because they were born to the same mother, they are very close. Qi Hou Lufu thinks highly of Yi Zhongnian. Even though Yi Zhongnian is a younger brother, his daughter is

She is older than Qihou's daughter and has just reached the age of marriage.

Speaking of Yi Zhongnian, many people may be unfamiliar with it, but Yi Zhongnian had a son, Gongsun of Qi State. This Gongsun was much more famous than his father, and that was the "famous" Gongsun Wuwu.

Qi Lu remembered Gongsun Wuzhi at first because of his name. The ancients had really "weird" names, so he called his son Wuzhi.

Because Gongsun Wuzhi was the son of Yi Zhongnian, that is, the nephew of Lufu, the Marquis of Qi. The Marquis of Qi valued Yi Zhongnian very much and loved his house as much as the crow. Therefore, he cherished his nephew very much. To what extent did he cherish Gongsun Wuzhi? He just cherished Gongsun Wuzhi.

A Gongsun, but his status is higher than that of other princes, not to mention the second prince of Qi, Jiu, the young prince of Qi, Xiaobai. Even the princes and sons of Qi are not as high as Gongsun Wuwu!

Gongsun Wuzhi had been treated like a prince since he was a child. So after the death of Qi Hou Lufu and the princes Zhuer ascended the throne, Gongsun Wuzhi felt rebellious and directly assassinated Zhuer and established himself as the king of Qi.

This Gongsun Wuzhi was the deposed Duke of Qi Qian in history. The continuous hegemony of Qi Qian Gong Zhuang and Qi Xi Gong for two generations was almost ended because of Zhuer and Gongsun Wuzhi, but soon, due to the chaos of Zhuer and Gongsun Wuzhi,

After that, Qi ushered in its most glorious and prosperous period, when the young master Xiaobai entered Qi and became Duke Huan of Qi, dominating the Spring and Autumn Period.

This time there was a marriage between Zheng and Qi, and the daughter of the Qi clan who got married was the eldest daughter of Yi Zhongnian, and the person who gave the marriage should be a relative of the daughter, so it fell on Gongsun Wuwu.

Hei Jian cupped his hands and said: "Emperor, both Zheng and Qi are powerful states in our great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, it is difficult to suppress Zheng's dominance. If Zheng and Qi marry, then from the middle of the country to the east, there will be

It’s all these powerful lands.”

Black Shoulders is not alarmist, it is indeed true. Since Ji Lin came to power, he has finally suppressed the arrogance of Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo went through the East Gate Battle of Song State, Chen State, and Cai Guo Wei, which damaged his vitality and stopped for a long time.

It seems that he wants to recuperate and recuperate. If Zheng Guo really marries Qi State and joins forces, Zheng Guo's recuperation and recovery speed will be greatly accelerated, which is tantamount to a huge threat to Luo Shi.

As the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Lin not only had to fight against the invasion of barbarians, but also had to take care of all aspects of "his own family". Without paying attention, he fattened the princes into a big country, which was tantamount to raising tigers to create trouble.

Ji Lin said in a deep voice: "Regarding the marriage between Zheng Guo and Qi Guo, do other ministers have any suggestions?"

The officials looked at each other, and for a while the voices of whispers became noisy.

"We must never allow Zheng and Qi to marry."

"That's right, Zheng and Qi are already powerful. If these two countries are at odds with each other, they will simply be raising tigers to create trouble."

"What should we do? Now that Zheng and Qi are getting married, the emperor has no reason to break up their marriage."

No one could think of a good way for a while. Although they all knew that Zheng and Qi could not be united, they did not make any mistakes by marrying the two countries. There was no reason to beat the couple.

Ji Lin pondered for a while and said: "The marriage between the State of Zheng and the State of Qi is a happy event. Both the father-in-law and the grandson have some friendship with the widow. The father-in-law and the grandson are both getting married. According to the etiquette, the father and brother should welcome the bride in person, but Zheng Guo first

The Duke is already alive, and the elder brother of the Duke and Sundu is the current Uncle Zheng. The monarch does not leave the country for no reason, and it is not easy for Uncle Zheng to go to welcome the bride..."

What Ji Lin said is very reasonable. Although Gongsunsundu has a noble status and is very suitable for Yi Zhongnian's daughter, getting married is a problem. Gongsunsundu's father has passed away, and his elder brother is Zheng Bohuan, his uncle.

Duan Huizi also died. According to the etiquette system, the father and elder brother are required to marry the daughter of the clan, but no one in this Huizi meets the conditions.

Ji Lin chuckled lightly and said, "If this is not the case, I will send Grand Tutor Qi to personally welcome the grandson and grandson."

When Qi Lu heard Ji Lin call his name, he raised his head and looked at the emperor.

A trace of "malicious" smile appeared on the lips of the handsome emperor. Qi Lu raised his eyebrows. Although the monarch and his ministers were far apart, Qi Lu could still feel the emperor's malicious smile. Where could the emperor be?

Are you asking yourself to welcome the bride? You are obviously asking yourself to beat the mandarin ducks?

Black shoulder immediately said: "As the emperor's master, Taifu Qi has a noble status and the emperor's grace. If Taifu Qi is really allowed to marry both his father-in-law and his grandson, it is really a great show of love for the state of Zheng. I believe that the state of Zheng will not refuse."

Although Qi Lu was only a minor official, he is now ranked first among the three princes of the Luoshi royal family. His status is unparalleled and noble. It is such an honor to serve as the father and brother of the prince and grandson and go to welcome the bride. How could Uncle Zheng refuse it?

?Even if Uncle Zheng understands that the emperor is uneasy and well-intentioned, he is still a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings.

Qi Lu immediately stood up and said, "It's such a happy event. It would be an honor for Qi Lu to be able to welcome both my grandson and grandson."

Ji Lin nodded and said: "That's it, then this matter is settled. Duke Zhou, you draft a document and send it to Zheng immediately, and tell Uncle Zheng this good news as soon as possible."

What good news is clearly bad news!

After everyone discussed, the court dispersed soon. Duke Zhou Heijian was going to the political hall to draft documents. He was very busy. Qi Lu's literary talent was not as outstanding as Heijian, so the literary affairs were left to Heijian. Qi Lu had been appointed as the special envoy to welcome the bride.

, went to welcome the bride, but the documents from Heijian had not yet been sent to Zheng Guo, so the matter of welcoming the bride was urgent, so Qi Lu went to the dining room leisurely.

Qi Lu went to the dining room and entered the dining room in a very happy mood. He saw that all the waiters had sad faces, and their faces almost turned into donkey faces, as if they were mourning for their heirs.

Qi Lu said: "What?"

When the waiters saw Qi Lu coming in, they immediately felt as if they were seeing their old father, and hurriedly said: "Master, everything is fine, Grand Sima is here again!"

"Here he comes again?" When Qi Lu heard this, he was also frightened. Why is Wu Man, the kitchen killer, here again?

There has been nothing going on in the Sima department recently. After all, Huaiyi has been pacified, and Lu State has surrendered to the emperor. The Dongyi and Beidi people are extremely peaceful, and the Sima department is naturally also extremely peaceful. Wuman has nothing to do, so just watch

When I get to the dining room, I always go into the dining room to kill time.

Qi Lu had a headache, and the waiters complained in low voices: "Why does Sima always come to us? Is Sima so busy?"

"That's right, it's okay to come to help. This...Da Sima is just here to cause trouble. We are of low status and can't rush."

"Hey, Taifu, please go and have a look. Da Sima is chopping firewood into shreds again!"

Qi Lu rubbed his forehead, came out of the dining room, and came to the warehouse at the back. Sure enough, he saw the sweaty Da Sima at a glance. Wu Man was helping the servants chop wood, but Wu Man still looked absent-minded. Really

It's like cutting shreds, the technique is smart and sharp, "swish, swish! swish!" The output is amazing!

Qi Lu quickly said: "Da Sima!"

Wu Man was shredding firewood, and when he heard Qi Lu's voice, he came to his senses and said, "Master, what else is there to do? Don't be polite to me. Whatever you can do, I will do it for you."

.”

Qi Lu laughed dryly, thinking that you should be able to do it. Because Wu Man had no use for his strength, Qi Lu asked Wu Man to chop the stuffing and beat the meatballs. Qi Lu had personally tested that beating the meatballs was beneficial.

Relieve boredom.

Then the sound of "dong dong dong! dong dong dong!" came from the dining room. Wuman beat the meatballs with a fierce look on his face, and the rolling pin almost broke.

Wu Man came to the dining room to beat the meatballs, beating them every day for three days in a row.

On the first day, the emperor ate rice noodles with beef tendon ball soup. He ate it with gusto. He felt that it was smooth with the rice noodles, the beef balls were in the soup, and the soup was fresh. I can’t say enough about the wonderful things about it.

The next day, the emperor ate green vegetable and fish ball soup. The fish balls were delicious, the vegetables were sweet, and the soup was refreshing. The taste was so refreshing that the emperor could drink three large bowls in one sitting.

On the third day, the emperor ate the most authentic dry croquettes from old Beijing. The fried meatballs were so fragrant, especially the dipping sauce, that when you eat one, you feel like two, and when you eat two, you feel like four.

No matter how much the emperor loves to eat meatballs, he can't eat meatballs every time. All three meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner are meatballs. Now that he almost wants to vomit when he sees round things, Qi Lu makes him glutinous glutinous rice dumplings, and the emperor blurts out: "

I don’t want to eat meatballs anymore!”

Qi Lu was also quite helpless. Da Sima produced meatballs too quickly. He could chop a lot of meat and beat a lot of meatballs every day. It would be too wasteful if he didn't finish it. In line with the concept of not wasting, everyone is eating meatballs these days.

.

Today, Grand Sima Wuman was still pounding meatballs in the dining room. Niaoyang Jian came in from the outside and said, "Master, Si Xing is too busy. Justice Zhou is dealing with the marriage between Zheng and Qi. Lu Guo has sent documents. Si Xing is very busy."

Please ask Mr. Qi to come and help."

The Si Bank is the department that manages diplomacy. Because Zhou Gong Heijian is a very smooth man, he works in the Si Bank Department. He is the leader among the royal family.

Heijian was very busy these days, so he couldn't get away, so he wanted to ask Qi Lu to help take care of Lu State's diplomatic affairs.

"Lu Guo!?"

Before Qi Lu could speak, a voice suddenly interrupted. Da Sima was holding a rolling pin in both hands and was pounding the meat fillings absentmindedly. Who would have thought that the words of Yaoyang Jian could pull Da Sima's soul back.

Wu Man immediately said: "What happened to Lu State?"

Luo Yangjian said: "Back to the Grand Sima, I don't know the specific details, but the Lu State has sent a document, which seems to be about sending protons to the Luo Division."

The State of Lu surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but after all, the State of Lu was a Red Di people and the most powerful one among the Red Di, so the emperor was not very reassured. After Lu Ziyi returned to the State of Lu, he proposed to send a proton

Ji Lin had already agreed to the idea of ​​coming to Dazhou. Now it was the time for Lu State to send protons to Dazhou, but Duke Zhou Heijian was too busy, so he wanted to ask Qi Lu for help.

Qi Lu's work was very flexible on weekdays, but now that Si Xing needed help, Qi Lu put down what he was doing and let the waiters continue to be busy. After cleaning his hands, he went to the political hall.

Lu State indeed wants to send protons to Luoshi. In order to express the Lu family's sincerity, the protons sent are from the Lu family's nobles. The team has already set off and will arrive in Luoshi soon. What Qi Lu has to do is to arrange for manpower to go there.

Welcome the team.

Now Luo Shi and Lu State have a good relationship, so they should not neglect the hostages sent over. They still need to treat each other with courtesy. In this way, they will not only welcome the hostages, but also prepare a feast to welcome the nobles of Lu State.

.

Qi Lu took full responsibility for this matter. On the day the Lu troops entered Luoshi, Qi Lu personally came to the gate of Luoshi to greet them, introduced the Lu family's envoys to stay in the building, and came to attend the reception of Feng Yan in the evening.

It is said that the proton of the Lu family sent this time has a high status, so Yan Yin's style is also very high, and the emperor and officials will attend.

Wu Man walked into the Yanyin Hall. The scholar-officials were complimenting each other. He saw the delegation from Lu State at a glance. He scanned it carefully and found no one he knew, let alone the figure he wanted to see. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes.

, sat in his seat.
