Chapter 21 The Assassination of Duke Xiang of Qi(2/2)

At this time, Guan Zhi's father came in with a knife. He stepped forward and saw that he was wrong. Guan Zhi's father looked around the room and then ordered the soldiers to search outside the house.

Let’s talk about Duke Xiang of Qi. He jumped out of the window, dragging a lame leg. After a short distance, he couldn’t run anymore. There happened to be a bush next to him, and he ducked in. His body curled up in the bush, and he felt

It had been covered, but unfortunately he didn't notice that his lame leg was exposed a little. The searching soldiers quickly found him and roughly took him out.

A group of soldiers dragged him to Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu.

When Lian Cheng saw Qi Xianggong, he pointed his sword in his face and cursed: "You are a foolish king. You have fought for many years and killed countless people. This is unkind. You do not respect the order of your ancestors and punish Gongsun Wuzhi. This is unfilial. Take my sister for granted."

It is unethical to be a wife; to take the melon and work as promised but not to fulfill it is to be untrustworthy. Such an unkind, unfilial, unethical, and unfaithful king, I will kill him now to eliminate harm to the country of Qi."

Qi Xianggong knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he did not say a word. He just raised his head, maintaining the dignity of a monarch, and regarded Lian Cheng and others as nothing. Lian Cheng was furious, swung his bronze sword, and killed him with one strike.

Cut over.

Lian Cheng, Guan Zhi's father killed Qi Xianggong, and led troops and horses to attack Linzi City overnight. Gongsun Wuwu's men opened the city gate, and Lian and Guan's second generals entered the city smoothly without encountering any resistance, and took control of the entire city that night.

.

In the early morning of the next day, Gongsun Wuwu came to the court and announced in court: "My lord was assassinated in Beiqiu and was seriously injured. I have been ordered to temporarily supervise the country. Ministers, you all perform your duties and do whatever you are supposed to do."

The civil and military officials in the court were whispering to each other, and there was a buzz for a while, but everyone knew that Gongsun Wuzhi was a character who was not easy to mess with. The buzz was buzzing, but no one raised any objections. Gongsun Wuzhi didn't care what they thought, and he took the seat of Qi Xianggong.

superior.

After the situation stabilized, Gongsun Wuzhi announced: "The king was seriously injured and has unfortunately passed away. Now he will take care of the government on his own." In fact, this was tantamount to declaring himself king.

After Gongsun Wuzhi came to power, he was still trustworthy. As expected, he made Lian Fei his queen, and named Lian Concubine Shangqing, known as the uncle of the country. He named his father as Yaqing, in charge of the army of Qi.

The coup d'état was temporarily subsided.

As time went by, the cause of Qi Xianggong's death gradually spread. The ministers all pretended to be confused. Although they did not dare to say it clearly, they showed their anger by slacking off in their actions. Gongsun Wuzhi's abilities were inherently inferior.

Qi Xianggong, in this situation, felt a kind of pressure that he could not stand alone.

One day, Gongsun Wuwu went to Guan Zhifu and asked him to find some capable people to help manage the government.

Guan Zhi's father said: "I have a nephew named Guan Zhong. As far as his ability is concerned, no one in the civil and military affairs of this dynasty can match him. As long as he is willing to help, my lord's empire will be stable."

Gongsun Wuwu said: "Why don't you hurry up and invite me?"

Guan Zhi's father said: "He is not in Qi State, but now in Lu State."

Gongsun Wuwu said impatiently: "No matter where you are, invite me. You hurry up and find a solution."
