Lu Qiyi put his feet back and said coldly: "Take it out." The man timidly responded, turned over and crawled to the round hole, leaned forward and reached out to grab something in the hole, but he grabbed a long wooden box. The man was afraid The two-foot-long wooden box was placed at Lu Qi's feet. "Open it." Lu Qi took a step back and ordered. The man nodded timidly, reached out to unlock the wooden box, and slowly opened the wooden box. Lu Qi took a look and saw that there was a dagger, volumes of copywriting, a bright yellow imperial edict, and more than a dozen jade objects in the wooden box. Orb. Lu Qi walked forward and bent down, reaching out to take out the dagger in his hand. The dagger was in the shape of a fish intestine sword. He reached out and pulled out the dagger and looked at it. He saw that the blade of the dagger was as flat as autumn water. Lu Qi knew what he was doing. Knowing that this was a treasured dagger that was beyond the highest grade, he put the sword back into its sheath, bent down and slid it into his right boot. He had not had a blade hidden in his boot for a long time. Lu Qi reached out and took out the imperial edict and the text. He unfolded the imperial edict and took a look at it. He was startled to see that this imperial edict was actually from the Zhou Kingdom. The content was to confer King Shun of the Yue Kingdom as the crown prince of the Yue Kingdom. This imperial edict should be from the Yue Kingdom to the Zhou Dynasty. After the country became a vassal, the Emperor Zhou gave King Shun of the Yue Kingdom, which naturally meant to support King Shun as the successor of the Yue Kingdom. This imperial edict was actually useless paper. Lu Qi opened the copy and looked at it, but didn't get any useful information. He gave the man a cold look, stepped forward and grabbed it, half pulling and half dragging it to the front house, and handed it to Konoe for him to take. With the imperial edict and copywriting, the man was taken to Dali Temple. ***** The next morning, Lu Qi, who was reading a book in the house, was startled by the rapid knocking on the door. He walked quickly to the door and opened it. He saw a middle-aged slave outside the door. The slave said in panic: "Master, A high-ranking official came from the front office to deliver the order. "Lu Qi was surprised and asked: "Who is coming to deliver the order?" "It's the three father-in-laws," the servant replied hurriedly. Lu Qi nodded, and Xiaodie and Xiangyue in the inner room heard the sound and came out. Lu Qi turned around and said gently: "It's people from the palace, just three eunuchs. I'll go and see for myself." Xiaodie responded, Lu Qi himself I went to the front house and saw that the eunuch who came was Wang Jien, and the other two were unfamiliar, but they were obviously followers. "The king is here." Lu Qi smiled and bowed in greeting. "I don't dare, I'm just a slave to the Prince Consort." Wang Jien bowed down respectfully. He was a retainer of the emperor. He could show off to ordinary ministers, but he had to be a slave to the emperor's son-in-law. Lu Qi looked at the imperial edict held by Wang Jien in his left hand and said gently: "Does the king know that he is here to deliver the edict?" "Yes, please come to the Prince Consort's Hall to receive the edict." Wang Jien straightened his waist and said respectfully. Lu Qi nodded, made a gesture of invitation, turned around and walked to the front hall. Wang Jien followed him into the front hall alone. Lu Qi turned around, lifted up his robe and knelt down, respectfully said: "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng, listen to the announcement." "By God's destiny, Emperor. According to the decree, Lu Tianfeng's late father is posthumously granted the title of Duke of Yucheng County and a general of the auxiliary state," Wang Jien declared. "I bow to express my gratitude." Lu Qi responded respectfully, then raised his hand to receive the imperial edict. After Lu Qi stood up, Wang Jien smiled and said: "Prince-in-law, Your Majesty said, the prince-in-law is from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan was the land of Wu in ancient times. The prince-in-law came from Wu and joined the Great Zhou Dynasty, laying the foundation for the expansion of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His majesty thought about his great achievements, and then he remembered the word Yu with a tiger head and a Wu body. The tiger head means a good warrior, so your majesty gave the word "Yu" to the prince-in-law. " Lu Qi made a guess after hearing this. After a while, he said: "You know the king, is your Majesty going to write the word Yu for me?" Wang Jien was slightly startled and said: "Your Majesty bestowed the title of Duke of Yucheng County on the late father-in-law of the Prince Consort. That means giving the word "Yu" to me. The prince consort needs to place the imperial edict conferring the title in front of the county prince¡¯s spiritual throne. He must not leave it alone." Lu Qi nodded and said, "Thank you, Wang Duzhi, for your advice." "I dare not say that, but I am a slave. I know there is a very famous allusion in Yucheng." Wang Jien said respectfully. "Oh, I would like to listen to Wang Duzhi's advice. Please sit down and talk." Lu Qi said with a smile. ¡°I won¡¯t sit down, my servant.¡± Wang Douzhi declined. "Then please Wang Douzhi to enlighten me on the allusion." Lu Qi said. "The allusion is that the land of Yucheng was once the State of Yu in ancient times, and Taiyuan was once the State of Jin. At that time, the State of Jin wanted to conquer the State of Guo, but it needed to pass through the land of the State of Yu, so the State of Jin used BMWs and beautiful jade to borrow the way. The State of Yu lent the road to the State of Jin, so that the State of Jin could destroy the State of Guo," Wang Douzhi said with a smile. Lu Qi was suddenly enlightened and said: "You are talking about the allusion of lips dying and teeth cold." "Yes, yes, the Prince Consort knows about it." Wang Douzhi said with a smile. Lu Qi understood in his heart, and smiled and said: "I know the allusion of lips dying and teeth cold, but I don't know where Yu State and Guo State are. Is it Guozhou near Luoyang, or the ancient Guo State." "Consort Prince Consort. What I said is right, the land that is now Guozhou was once the Guo Kingdom in ancient times. " Wang Duzhi said with a smile. Lu Qi nodded and said: "Thank you Wang Duzhi for your advice. " "I don't dare. In fact, in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou divided the princes into feudal princes. At that time, the leader of the Yu State and the leader of the Wu State were brothers. Therefore, the ancestors of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River came from the old land of the Yellow River in the Central Plains. "Wang Duzhi said again. "Oh, I have learned a lesson. "Lu Qi nodded in response. "Prince-in-law, my servant is back. "Wang Duzhi said his farewell respectfully. "Wang Duzhi has had a hard time coming here. Please wait a moment while I go get some small gifts. "Lu Qi said gently. "No, no, I'm never disrespectful. I'll take my leave. Wang Duzhi refused. Lu Qiyi was startled and said: "Wang Duzhi, I am a warrior and I like to act straightforwardly. Can't you really take some pains?" When I was in Jiangnan, I always worked hard. " "Slaves really don't need to work hard, and there is absolutely no hypocrisy. "Wang Duzhi said Zhengrong. Lu Qi nodded and said: "Okay, I have written down Wang Duzhi's feelings. In the future, Wang Duzhi can talk about any ordinary embarrassing things. " "It is the slave's duty to do things for his master. I will resign." "Wang Duzhi said respectfully, then turned around and walked out, and Lu Qi sent him out. After seeing Wang Duzhi off, Lu Qi took the imperial edict and returned to the east courtyard. He met Xiaodie and Xiangyue, explained the matter, and finally said : "I sent the imperial edict I found to Kaifeng Mansion yesterday, and today Emperor Zhou actually sent an imperial edict to proclaim my late father. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not. " "It shouldn't be a coincidence. Qi Lang did it unintentionally. He captured the man and obtained the useless imperial edict. Of course, it is better to hand him over. Otherwise, it is not good to kill him in the mansion. If he is released, there will be trouble later. And Zhou When the emperor saw the imperial edict sent by Qilang, he was afraid that he was overthinking it, so he used the method of posthumously naming his late father and reminded Qilang with allusions. "Xiao Die replied softly. Lu Qi shook his head and said: "The allusion of lips dying and teeth cold is that BMW and beautiful jade took advantage of it, and as a result, Yu State was destroyed. Emperor Zhou is reminding me that if I collude with Zhao Kuangyin, the fate of Yu State will be , he compared the relationship between me and Zhou Guo to teeth and lips. The problem is that he and I are not one body, and his teeth can bite me at any time. " "On the surface, Qilang and Emperor Zhou are closely related. After all, they are close to Weng's son-in-law. If the Zhou Kingdom is usurped by Zhao Kuangyin, it will turn against Hexi. That should be the original intention of Emperor Zhou's reminder. "Xiaodie said. "Such a reminder is wishful thinking. "Lu Qi smiled and said sarcastically. Xiaodie thought for a moment and said softly: "Qilang, you said that the messenger deliberately interpreted the word "Yu" and said "Tiger head and Wu body". Is there any hidden meaning in that? Wu Dizhi said, Mostly refers to the vicinity of Changzhou. " Lu Qi listened thoughtfully. "Tiger head and Wu body, Emperor Zhou deliberately said the word "Wu" as "Wu body". Could it be that it was really an allusion? What could it be alluding to? Could it be that Emperor Zhou suspected that he was in Changzhou? The brave military power of Zhongfu still exists. ¡°Whether it has a hidden meaning or not, I am not interested in guessing the riddle. " Lu Qi thought for a while, and then said impatiently. " Xiaodie smiled, held up the imperial edict in her jade hands, and said softly: "No matter what riddles Emperor Zhou has, this imperial edict to posthumously honor my father is indeed a matter of grace and honor. Ordinary ministers can think about it but cannot. " Lu Qi nodded in recognition, and Zhe Xiangyue suddenly said softly: "Tianfeng, if you are worshiping ancestors, should you invite the princess? If you don't know, it will be considered contempt. " Lu Qiyi was startled, then he smiled bitterly and whispered: "Princess, I don't even know how to tell you. " "You can go and inform me. You can enter the palace with Fourteen. Fourteen is now a third-grade imperial edict. "Zhe Xiangyue recommended herself softly, but Xiaodie reached out and pulled her away and went to the inner room.
