As far as I know, the young master had already acquired Qin and Zhou Chi successively when he was in Luoyi.
Based on my many years of experience as an official, I can guess that it will not be that simple.
Neither Qin nor Zhou Tianzi have enough None of the interests can move them. " I nodded lightly.
The Sikong Weifu in front of me was indeed a political master.
With my skills, there was no way I could hide it from him.
The guard said: "Master, do you agree to my request?"
"Master Sikong seems to be on the same side as me," I said meaningfully.
A smile appeared on the corner of the guard's lips: "Although this is my first time meeting the young master, I know that the young master is a sensible person."
In the distance, a group of cars and horses came to our location at a fast pace and stopped not far away.
Sima Qiuzhen opened the door and walked out, with a look of shock and anger on his face.
The guard laughed softly and said, "I never expected that our monarchs and ministers from the Huo Kingdom would meet by this small river."
I smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence, it's Sikong's deliberate arrangement."
The guard laughed.
Sima Qiuzhen asked his entourage to stand where he was, and came to us alone.
He stared at the guard coldly and said, "Sir Sikong is really in a good mood.
He is actually leisurely fishing by the river at a time like this."
The guard shook the fishing rod, took off the bamboo hat on his head and threw it on the grass beside him, and said calmly: "Tai Gong fishermen who are willing to take the bait will take the bait.
I have gained quite a lot today."
Sima Qiuzhen coughed dryly and said to me, "Master, I recognize Sikong."
His eyes were full of suspicion.
I nodded and said: "We just met, Sikong is giving me guidance."
Sima Qiuzhen sighed, sat down next to the guard, and said in a gentle tone: "Master Sikong, I always regard you as my brother in my heart.
I didn't intentionally hide the young master's affairs.
You know that Ji Mu is a dangerous person.
Now there are rumors everywhere that he has returned to Huo State, but I can't find any trace of him.
I'm worried that the young master will be murdered by him if he shows up in public. " The guard smiled calmly and said: "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.
Since the young master is a bloodline of the royal family surnamed Ji and has the support of our group of ministers, he should face the ministers as soon as possible and ascend the throne of King Huo, hiding like this Is hiding the fundamental way to solve the problem?”
Sima Qiuzhen sneered: "Can Lord Sikong convince the ministers of the Huo Kingdom?"
Sikong Wei was silent for a long time before he uttered one word: "Kill" Qiu Zhen was slightly startled.
But I heard the guard say: "Young Master is of the bloodline of Ji, and the natural heir to the Huo Kingdom.
Anyone who dares to oppose the Young Master's ascension to the throne is an enemy of the Huo Kingdom, an enemy of our ministers, and an enemy of the Huo Kingdom."
Thousands of people are enemies.
If you don't kill, it won't be enough to vent your anger.
If you don't kill, it won't be enough to convince the people."
Unexpectedly, Huo Guosikong was so tough.
Qiu Zhen laughed heartily: "I have always been worried that Master Sikong would not agree with me.
Today I can hear your words and I feel at ease."
I said to Qiu Zhen, "I wonder what Sima wants from me."
Qiu Zhen said respectfully: "I want the young master to come forward and force Ji Yue to abdicate."
The long white eyebrows of the guard trembled slightly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes: "Master Sima plans to explain the matter of the young master to the ministers."
Qiu Zhen nodded and said: "Strike first is the best.
Let's help the young master rise first, and then deal with Ji Mu."
The guard said meaningfully: "I hope everything goes as smoothly as you said."
The Huo State Palace is the most luxurious place I have seen since arriving in Huodu.
Although the area is not large, the layout is exquisite and extremely luxurious.

Two important officials of the Huo State, Qiu Zhen and Wei Liao, led 500 soldiers to accompany me.
Go to King Huo's Palace.
When I saw Ji Yue, the king of the Huo Kingdom, he was playing with the birds.
He was short, fat, and good-looking.
His hair was a little messy, and his royal clothes were also wrinkled.
He did not have the demeanor that a king should have at all.
When he saw us The leader was not surprised at all when he came in.
He threw a few grains of millet into the birdcage, clapped his hands and turned around: "Two adults, are you okay?"
Qiu Zhen slowly opened the bamboo slips and cleared his throat.
Just when he was about to list Ji Yue's crimes, Ji Yue waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you don't have to read it.
I know in my heart that I didn't want to sit in this position in the first place."
Yes, it was you who forced me to become the king of some kind.
Now you plan to let me abdicate and I will leave."
This boy is quite free and easy.
Qiu Zhen said coldly: "You are messing with my palace and ruining our country.
How can you just leave and come?"
Ji Yue's face changed, and he said angrily: "Qiu Zhen, don't push others too far.
I, Ji Yue, am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and have never done anything harmful to heaven and earth."
Looking at Ji Yue's appearance, I suddenly thought of myself.
There are some similarities between him and me.
We both The person being used by the guards and the guards today may be my Ming.
The warriors around me are holding weapons and are about to rush towards Ji Yue.
I can't help but say: "If you have to be merciful, please be merciful.
There is no need for Lord Sima to turn things around."
Do it absolutely” Qiu Zhen looked slightly stunned and whispered: "Young Master doesn't understand."
"I understand everything."
I walked slowly to Ji Yue and said calmly, "I am Ji Gui, and Huo Guoquan's seal is on my hand."
Ji Yue's face did not show any surprise.
He looked at me up and down.
After a while, he said: "No matter who you are, no matter what you have in your hands, you can't change the fate of this country."
He gasped.
He said again: "To me, this palace is a prison, and the title of king is like a heavy mountain, which weighs me down."
The expression on Qiu Zhen's face was uncertain.
Because the guards and I were present, he did not interrupt Ji Yue's words.
Ji Yue's eyes fell on Qiu Zhen's face: "Sima, I've been fed up for a long time.
If these warriors hadn't trapped me, I would have escaped long ago."
I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart.
Qiu Zhen nodded and said, "Send Ji Yue out."
Four warriors walked to Ji Yue's side and escorted him outside the palace.
The guard who had been silent for a long time finally said: "Let him live and let him destroy himself."
Political changes in such a small country can be completed in a short time.
I turned around and looked at Qiu Zhen and the guards.
In fact, the power of Huo State was basically in their hands.
Who should be allowed to come to power was just a matter of their words.
Things, now Qiu Zhen still wants Huo State to continue to exist, and invites me here to make everything justifiable, while the guards are determined to free the people of Huo State.

There is a silent game between the two, But I had no choice but to fall into the game between the two.
Qiu Zhendao: "I will invite all the ministers to the palace tonight to announce the matter of the young master in public."
At this time, Li Nuo hurriedly walked into the palace with two warriors and said loudly: "Sir Sima, many courtiers are coming outside.
They want to find out what happened today."
Qiu Zhen and Wei Liao looked at each other, and Wei Liao said calmly: "Since they are all here, let's tell them about the young master."
There are a total of fifteen courtiers who came, and these fifteen people are the most powerful group in the Huo Kingdom's political arena.
To be honest, since I walked into the Huo King's Palace today, I behaved more like an outsider, watching what happened with a cold eye.
In everything, the real directors are Qiu Zhen and Wei Liao.
Everything I saw convinced me that the Huo Kingdom had become a piece of disorganized sand, and no one could save it from destruction.
Ge Feng was obviously disappointed with the situation in Huo Country.
He thought that when he joined Huo Country with me, he was still very ambitious and expected to join hands with me to create a new situation for Huo Country.
He smiled bitterly and whispered to me: "This way As a monarch, it’s okay if you don’t do it.”
A smile appeared on my lips: "Brother, please don't forget my true intention."
My real intention is to crush Ji Mu's plot.
The throne is not that important to me.
Accompanied by Qiu Zhen and the guards, I sat down in the palace and calmly looked around at the fifteen courtiers who came in from the outside.
Their eyes were full of a little fear, a little excitement, and more of numbness.
These courtiers have long been accustomed to the scene of palace changes today.
Qiu Zhen and the guards whispered a few words, Qiu Zhen cleared his throat and said: "Today I want to announce an important thing.
After we found out, Ji Yue is not a bloodline of the royal family surnamed Huo Guoji, which means that he is not qualified at all.
Be the king of my Huo country.”
The whole palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Qiu Zhen seemed to be very satisfied with the effect.
He took a deep breath and said: "Sitting between me and Lord Sikong is Ji Gui, the adopted son of Emperor Zhou.
He is also an authentic bloodline of the Huo Kingdom.
Now the Huo Kingdom's The seal of power is also in the hands of Mr.
Ji Gui."
A calm and cold voice said: "The identity of the young master may be true, but I heard one thing.
It is said that after the young master agreed to ascend the throne, the Huo State became a vassal state of the Qin State.
I don't know if this is true."
I was slightly startled and looked up, only to see a man in the crowd wearing a dark gray court uniform saying coldly.
He was in his thirties, with a good appearance and a good build.
He was looking directly at me with a pair of deep eyes.
The guard smiled calmly and said: "Daxingren, where did you hear these gossips?"
Qiu Zhen whispered to me: "He is a Daxingren special Qiu."
I nodded.
A Daxingren is a diplomat, who is responsible for receiving the princes of various countries and officials responsible for foreign affairs.
Chapter 75 Part 2 Qi Pingping said: "It may not be without reason.
Young Master may be able to explain this matter to me."
The guard said coldly: "Zhanqi, we will discuss this matter later.
I have called you here today to discuss the prince's accession to the throne."
Zhuanqi said loudly: "I still hope that the young master can explain that matter clearly first."
At this time, the group of courtiers around him echoed in unison: "Please also explain the matter clearly, the young master."
I immediately understood that Zhuan Qi had come prepared this time.
The guards' faces were livid with anger, but Qiu Zhen had a look of helplessness.

Judging from the situation, Zhuan Qi's attack was not what they expected.
I calmly said: "Where did Daxingren hear the news?
How come I don't even know about it?"
When I said this, Zhuanqi was startled.
He didn't expect that I would reject it and firmly deny it. , his face changed slightly and he said: "I heard that" I interrupted him before he could finish his words: "Hearing is false and seeing is believing.
A great practitioner occupies a high position.
If everything is based on hearing and hearing, I'm afraid it will not be a blessing to Huo's country."
There was a look of embarrassment on Zhuanqi's face, and he whispered: "I, Zhuanqi, am loyal to Huo Guo.
No matter what you think, Master, I hope that today's matter will be explained to us first."
Qiu Zhen's face couldn't help but change, and he said coldly: "Zhanqi, why didn't I see your loyalty to Huo Guo?"
Zhuanqi suddenly stood up and took a step forward.
His eyes glared at Qiu Zhen and then fell on me: "I, Zhuanqi, have been an official for fifteen years, but King Huo's throne has changed twenty-one times.
Today, "I have to say something.
If Huo Guo is here, I will be here.
If Huo Guo dies, I will be dead."
After he said this, the ministers around him responded at the same time, and the scene fell into a deadlock for a while.
Both Wei Liao and Qiu Zhen were startled.
They obviously did not expect that today's situation would evolve to this point.
I can almost conclude that Zhuanqi and these ministers must have some intentions, maybe it is Ji Mu who is behind them.
It can be known.
Qiu Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "Do you want to rebel?"
He held the Huo Kingdom's troops and horses, so he was naturally not afraid of the threat from these ministers, not to mention that there were Sikong guards standing with him.
In the Huo Kingdom, two The combination of powerful ministers means that everything can be solved.
Zhuan Qi looked arrogant and said: "There is something that I haven't had time to inform you two adults.
Zhao Ke, the envoy of the Jin State, has arrived in Huo County and is waiting for the king's summons."
He paused and then said: "I forgot.
"There is no king in the Huo Palace now.
I don't know who Sima and Sikong will choose to see him."
As expected, Zhuanqi came prepared.
The guards and Qiu Zhen looked at me at the same time.
The Jin State was so powerful that its envoy Huo Guo would not dare not to receive it.
Although I did not become the king of Huo State in a legitimate way, looking at the court, the most important thing was I am the one who is qualified to face the Jin envoys.
Perhaps this is also the perfect opportunity for me to establish my authority.
I nodded slowly and said, "I'll go see him."
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Zhuanqi's lips: "Can Young Master represent the Huo Kingdom?"
I looked at Zhuanqi with a stern look.
This guy was indeed a bit arrogant and provoked me at every turn.
If Qiu Zhen asked someone to kill him at this time, I would never stop him.
I said coldly: "I can represent the Ji family."
Zhuanqi was slightly startled and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The guard's eyes showed admiration and he said calmly: "We will discuss this later.
We will wait until the young master has met the Jin envoy."
He stood up and walked to Zhuan Qi and said: "You go and bring the Jin envoy."
Please come to Min'an Palace to meet you.
I will certainly remember what happened today clearly."

His words contained a threatening tone.
Zhuanqi said without fear: "I'll do it right now."
Guard Liao and I walked side by side towards Min'an Palace.
Guard Liao looked solemn.
What happened today did not go as he imagined.
On the way, he whispered: "Strange, why Zhuan Qi is so bold?"
I whispered: "There must be someone behind him to support him."
The guard nodded with deep sympathy and pressed his lips tightly together: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the Jin envoy to come at this time."
I didn't say anything.
Before meeting the Jin envoy, everything was unknown.
Zhuan Qi is just a diplomat of Huo State.
His performance in the court just now is no accident.
He dared to openly challenge the authority of Sima and Sikong.
Could it be that one of Wei Liao and Qiu Zhen was quietly supporting him?
Unexpectedly The internal politics of a small Huo country turned out to be so complicated.
Zhao Ke, the envoy of the Jin State, walked slowly into the Min'an Palace.
He was a handsome man with a dignified appearance and elegant demeanor.
His eyes were calm and calm, and did not reveal any arrogance of an envoy from a great power.
The more he looked like this, the more he became more and more beautiful.
It makes people feel that he is unusual.
I let the guards Accompanying him, except for Zhuanqi, only Zhuanqi appeared in Min'an Palace.
Zhao Ke saluted me respectfully and said, "My dear son, Zhao Ke has admired your name for a long time.
It is indeed extraordinary to meet you today."
I smiled calmly and said: "Mr.
Zhao, you are very polite.
I came to see you today because of everyone's recommendation."
I said this very cleverly.
I did not say that I was the king of the Huo Kingdom, but also revealed that the ministers of the Huo Kingdom had already The matter of electing me as king.
Zhao Ke smiled and said: "Although I am here on behalf of the Jin Kingdom, it is the young master who I want to see."
This sentence was beyond my expectation.
He actually came for me.
I smiled and said: "So Mr.
Zhao is doing it for personal matters, not state affairs."
"It's a private matter and a state matter."
"Master Zhao, please speak."
Zhao Ke said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I came to Huo State to inform everyone that Yan State has stationed ten thousand troops in the northwest of Huo State and is preparing to go south as soon as possible and take Huo County directly."
"What?"
Sima Qiuzhen was shocked and stood up suddenly: "Why didn't I know?"
Zhao Ke smiled calmly and said: "Sima's energy is mostly at home.
It's not surprising that he doesn't know about this."
This sentence was full of ridicule.
Sima Qiu Zhen's old face couldn't help but turn red.
Yan State has stationed heavy troops on the border.
As a Sima, he didn't notice it at all.
It can't be said that it was his dereliction of duty.

Zhao Ke added: "Qin, Yan, Jin and the Huo State are adjacent to each other.
Among them, the Jin State has the most borders with the Huo State.
My king cannot bear to see the Huo State being annexed by Yan, so he asked me to come and inform you all."
Qiu Zhen said loudly: "With only ten thousand soldiers and horses, Yan State underestimates us."
Zhao Ke chuckled and said: "Master Sima is really confident of defeating Yan's 10,000 cavalry."
His words were full of disdain.
Qiu Zhen wanted to have an attack, but suppressed it forcefully.
Zhao Ke's eyes fell on my face and he said again: "I heard that the young master is the adopted son of Emperor Zhou and the future monarch of the Huo Kingdom.
The Qin Kingdom has promised to support the young master to ascend to the throne."
This sentence was very straightforward, which shows that he has great feelings for the young master.
I have a very clear understanding of my situation.
I said calmly: "Master Zhao is very well informed."
Zhao Ke took a step forward: "Qin, Yan, and Jin had reached an agreement before to cooperate to help the Huo State."
I thought to myself: "Cooperating to split Huo Guocai is also a talent for Zhao Ke.
Such shameless things can be said with high sounding."
Zhao Ke said: "I didn't expect that Qin would suddenly go back on his word, causing the agreement between the three countries to fall apart.
In fact, this incident did not mean anything to Jin, but King Yan was ashamed of it and wanted to send troops to capture Huo."
His eyes fell on Qiu Zhen again: "Although the strength of Yan State is not the strongest among the princes, it is more than enough to deal with Huo State."
Qiu Zhen was speechless.
What Zhao Ke said was true and he could not refute it.
Zhao Ke added: "I have received news again that Bai Di is also making moves against Huo State, and it seems that he also intends to send troops to Huo State."
I smiled calmly and said: "Sir Zhao really cares about Huo Guo, but after all, this is Huo Guo's own business, so no outsiders should worry about it."
He kept threatening us, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Zhao Ke chuckled and said: "If either Yan or Bai Di sends troops to Huo, what awaits Huo is disaster."
The guard could no longer hold back his anger and shouted: "That's enough.
This is our own business and has nothing to do with the envoy."
Zhao Ke looked at me aggressively and said, "Perhaps the young master is thinking about having Qin as his backing."
If it weren't for his status as an envoy, I would definitely rush up and give him two big slaps.
But thinking about my current position, I had to hold back the anger in my heart and sneered: "That's my own business."
Zhao Ke put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "I'm afraid you guys don't know something yet, but Duke Qin is dead."
His words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shocking all of us present.
My mind suddenly went blank.
Duke Qin, isn't that Ying Lian's father?
If he is dead, doesn't it mean that the situation in Qin has fallen into chaos?
, Qin State is in the process of handover between the old and new regimes.
In the meantime, how can anyone care about other things now?
No wonder the Yan State and Bai Di are preparing to send troops to the Huo State.
No wonder the Jin State has sent envoys at this time.
They all want to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of this time to get ahead of the enemy.
The State of Qin incorporated the State of Huo into its territory.
Zhao Ke said word by word: "The only one who can help Huo State now is Jin State":
