Chapter 8 Chapter 127 Lu Guo Sanhuan

Take a look back. At the beginning, after Ji You forced his two older brothers, Qingfu and Shuya, to the death and helped Duke Lu Xi, Gongsun Ao (also known as Meng Mubo), the son of Qingfu, the second brother, was sealed in Cheng, with the rank of Qing. The Mengsun family; the son of the third brother Shuya, Gongsunzi (also known as Shusun Daibo), was enfeoffed in Ji, and his rank was Qing, which was later the Shusun family; Jiyou's fief was in Fei, and Wenyang was added, and later became Ji sun. After Gongsun Ao and Gongsun Zi grew up, Gongsun Ao served as Sima, Gongsun Zi served as Sikong, and Ji You served as Situ. Because they were all descendants of Duke Huan of Lu, the three families were collectively called "Sanhuan".Among the six ministers of the State of Lu, San Huan took up half of them.

If it were changed to the present, they should be called "troika", but at that time there were usually four carriages, and it would be illiterate to say "troika". The above passage is found in Part I, Chapter 40. The current situation is like this. The Mengsun family, with Gongsun Ao as the head, has two sons, Mengsun Gu and Mengsun Shunan. In the uncle-sun family, Gongsun Zi has passed away, and his son, Shusun Dechen (that is, Uncle Zhuangshu) is the head of the family.In addition, Gongsunzi's younger brother Wu Zhongxiu has set up another family and became the Shuzhong clan. Wu Zhongxiu is dead, and his son Shuzhong Huibo takes over as the head of the family.

In the Jisun family, Qi Zhongwuyi, the son of Jiyou, has already passed away, and his grandson, Jisun Xingfu (namely Ji Wenzi), is the head of the family. Sanhuan, Zang Wenzhong and Dongmen Xiangzhong are in charge of the state together, but they are slightly behind. Did Gongsun Ao and Gongsun Zi forget Ji You's revenge for killing his father?Of course I forgot.Think about it, when Ji You killed their father, they were still wearing crotch pants, a shitty age.Later, I went to Uncle Jiyou's house every three days to receive re-education—what is now called brainwashing.Uncle Ji You was also good to them, telling them about culture, history, international situation and domestic situation, and the power of unity.Gradually, the two brothers themselves felt that their father was not a good man. If it hadn't been for Uncle Ji You's righteous killing of his relatives, everyone still doesn't know where to drink the northwest wind.

In short, Sanhuan's relationship is good. The three families have a rule, which is to hold a regular meeting every half a month, that is, a "parent meeting" held by the parents of the three families to discuss the current domestic and foreign situation and how the three families can jointly deal with possible troubles. The "Parents' Meeting" was urgently brought forward. According to the intelligence report from the undercover in the palace, because his wife was taken by Gongsun Ao, Dongmen Xiangzhong had reached an agreement with Lu Wengong to attack the Mengsun family.

After learning of the emergency, the parent meeting was held urgently. This parent meeting is obviously a temporary emergency parent meeting. The participants were as follows: Gongsun Ao, head of the Mengsun family, Shusun Dechen, head of the Shusun family, and Ji Wenzi, head of the Jisun family.In addition, uncle Zhong Huibo also attended. Therefore, a total of four people attended the Sanhuan parent meeting, which is the so-called "three plus one" model. Among them, Gongsun Ao is the elder, and the other three are peers. According to the rules, the parent meeting is presided over by the elders, that is, Gongsun Ao.

"Eldest nephew, second nephew, third nephew, third eldest nephew." Gongsun Ao was already a little confused, and his words were a little confused. "That what, ah, that what—" Gongsun Ao was a little nervous when he came here, and secondly, it was embarrassing to say this, and he didn't know how to say it.Humming, chirping, I can't say it. Uncle Zhong Huibo looked uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to help him: "Uncle, if you are hard to say, let me say it." Although Uncle Zhong Huibo has the lowest status here and is only qualified to attend, he is forthright and sociable, so he makes a lot of friends, and everyone likes him very much.And the news that came out from the palace this time reached him first.

"That's fine, then you come." Gongsun Ao was naturally eager for this. In fact, things are not complicated at all. Uncle Zhong Huibo explained things clearly in a few words. "Now, Uncle Xiangzhong is quitting. He has already discussed with the lord that he wants to attack the Mengsun family. That's the general situation. I'm done." Finally Uncle Zhong Huibo said this.Speaking of it, Dongmen Xiangzhong is actually related to everyone on the same level as Gongsun Ao, and everyone is a descendant of Duke Huan. Everyone was silent, Gongsun Ao had no idea, both Shusun Dechen and Ji Wenzi knew that this was entirely Gongsun Ao's fault, a good man should take responsibility for what he does.As for Uncle Zhong Huibo, he was a non-voting attendee, so it was fine to introduce the situation, but it was not appropriate to express his opinions.

Seeing that no one spoke, Gongsun Ao couldn't help it anymore, he was impatient. "Nephews, you can't just ignore death, huh? Uncle Ji You often taught us to help each other and help each other. Now that my uncle and I are in trouble, you don't talk anymore, huh? Our tradition of Lu State Where are all the virtues?" Gongsun Ao got angry, he was senior and had the qualifications to get angry. When Gongsun Ao got angry, everyone can no longer play dumb.According to age, it should be Uncle Sun Dechen who spoke. "Uncle, there is nothing we can do about this matter. In this matter, it is your fault in the sky, alas." Uncle Sun Dechen expressed his position, basically ignoring it.

Gongsun Ao gave him a hard look, and then looked at Ji Wenzi. Ji Wenzi spoke: "Uncle, it is said that the three of us should support each other, but this matter is really difficult for us." Gongsun Ao's expression was very disappointed. He thought Ji Wenzi could lend a helping hand. "Hey, it seems that you are really hopeless. Me, what should I do? Woooooooo..." Gongsun Ao said, crying.He is an emotionally fragile person. Gongsun Ao cried, and the three juniors looked on, feeling a little embarrassed. "Uncle, two brothers, can I say a few words?" Uncle Hui Bo spoke.The three looked at him and nodded.So Uncle Huibo continued: "I remember that when Grandpa Jiyou was alive, he often called us juniors together to reason with us. Once Grandpa Jiyou showed us a three-legged tripod and said to us: You see, if this three-legged tripod is missing one leg, it will not be able to stand at all; if there is one more leg? It's like the three families of our Sanhuan, we can only prosper if we support each other and help each other."

When Uncle Zhong Huibo said this, he paused for a while, and he wanted to give everyone some time to think. Sure enough, after hearing Uncle Huibo's words, everyone began to think. Of course Ji Wenzi remembered the story his uncle Zhong Huibo told. In fact, he still remembered more of what his grandfather said, because many things his grandfather only said to him. Grandpa told him about the state of Qi and the Gao family: "Son, more than 300 years have passed since the Zhou Dynasty. How many sons and grandsons have there been? But how many sons and grandsons are still alive today? Bad? According to the rule, the son is treated like a prince, and the grandson is treated like a doctor. After that, the treatment decreases. After the death of the fifth generation, he is just an ordinary person. But why can the Gao family and the country of Qi be the top minister for generations? ? Not because their ancestors were Shangqing appointed by the king of Zhou, but because the two families supported each other and advanced and retreated together. Why did Qingfu and Shuya commit crimes and died, and I still wanted their sons to be ministers? Because we both They are the descendants of Duke Huan, as long as our three families help each other and support each other like the state and the Gao family, our three families will be able to be princes for generations, and our descendants will be prosperous forever."

Thinking of this, Ji Wenzi said: "Yes, grandpa said that if one of our three families is destroyed, the other two cannot survive. Uncle, we must find a way. The three of us juniors went to find Uncle Xiangzhong together. I don't know if it's useful to plead for uncle?" After hearing Ji Wenzi's words, Gongsun Ao's eyes radiated hope again. "It's not that simple. Uncle Xiangzhong has always been a person who doesn't suffer. It's useless to just ask for mercy. In my opinion, unless my uncle returns my aunt to Uncle Xiangzhong, it's useless to say anything." Uncle Sun Dechen said .His attitude has also changed, which is also considered to be a suggestion. "Then, that might as well kill me." Gongsun Ao categorically refused.Seeing color and forgetting life is talking about people like him. When the three brothers heard this, they couldn't laugh or cry. Uncle Huibo thought for a while and said again: "Uncle, I have a suggestion. In fact, Uncle Xiangzhong may not really want Auntie now, but he wants face. So, while asking Uncle Xiangzhong Make an apology, send my aunt back, don't ask anyone else, so Uncle Xiangzhong may accept it. This is the bottom line, if uncle still disagrees, I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do, I will leave first .” After speaking, Uncle Zhong Huibo got up and was about to leave.Uncle Sun Dechen and Ji Wenzi also got up and prepared to leave. Gongsun Ao saw this posture, if he persisted, he might really lose his head, so he hurriedly stopped the three of them: "Hey, big nephews, I, can I accept it?" Now, it's an agreement.Everyone believed that Shuzhong Huibo had the best relationship with Dongmen Xiangzhong, and was only a side branch of Sanhuan, so it was most appropriate to send him to make peace with Dongmen Xiangzhong.Uncle Zhong Huibo didn't refuse, and agreed. "Nephew, it's all up to you. Ah, help me with this, and I will find you a beautiful woman in Ju to be your wife in the future." Gongsun Ao said to Uncle Huibo. "Hey." Uncle Zhong Huibo didn't accept this, thinking that no matter who you look for as a matchmaker, you can't find you. On the one hand, Dongmen Xiangzhong sent his men to organize family soldiers and contact the team of the public office, preparing to attack Gongsun Ao.On the other hand, Dongmen Xiangzhong also felt a little beating in his heart.First of all, for a woman to fight each other like this, the reputation must not be good, not to mention that even if Gongsun Ao is killed, can he still marry that woman with such a tone?Gongsun Ao has passed the water, do you still have the nerve to marry?Secondly, Gongsun Ao's family didn't give them for nothing. If Shusun and Jisun joined forces with Gongsun Ao, it would be hard to say who would win. However, if you don't attack Gongsun Ao, you will not be able to vent your anger, and secondly, you have already spoken, so you can't just take it back, right? When I was bored, Uncle Huibo came. "Uncle, I heard that you are going to attack Uncle Gongsun Ao?" Uncle Zhong Huibo asked when he came in. "Ah, yes, yes. He robbed my wife, no, he stole it. Big nephew, tell me, shouldn't you beat me for doing such a shameless thing?" Dongmen Xiangzhong said.He has always liked Uncle Hui Bo. "Uncle, listen to me, okay? As far as I know, using troops internally is called rebellion, and using troops abroad is called bandits. When using troops abroad, how can you say that everyone has casualties; when using troops internally, the people who die are all your own family members." Yes. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Blood is thicker than water. I can’t write two characters of Ji in one stroke. If someone writes this story after more than two thousand years, it is said that there is a civil strife in the state of Lu, and the result will be Because of a woman, do you think we should lose face? We are in internal turmoil, and outside enemies may have a chance to invade us. I think, long live peace." Although Uncle Zhong Huibo is of a low seniority, his words are reasonable. "But I don't blame me for this matter, he recruited it himself, didn't he?" "Uncle, everyone on the earth knows that Uncle Gongsun Ao is wrong about this matter. No, everyone criticized him at the parents' meeting yesterday, saying that everyone is brothers. It's too unkind to do so, and he admitted his mistake. Uncle Ah, don’t you know about Uncle Gongsun Ao’s problems? He has no hobbies, but he’s just good-looking. Since everyone is a descendant of Duke Huan, don’t bother with him.” Uncle Huibo’s words were soft and hard, which was like telling Dongmen Xiangzhong Sanhuan had already discussed countermeasures together. "Then, then my wife will belong to him for nothing?" Dongmen Xiangzhong still couldn't figure it out.No one can figure out who to change. "I think so: You said that if the woman was given to Uncle Gongsun Ao, she would be Uncle Xiangzhong's wife; if Uncle Xiangzhong wanted to come back, she slept with Uncle Gongsun Ao again. I think If this is not the case, my uncle will not marry her. I will persuade Uncle Gongsun Ao to send the woman back to the country of Ju, and then ask him to send you the dowry gift, and make an apology. In this way, we will treat it as nothing. After this incident, we will still be a family from now on, how about it?" Uncle Zhong Huibo didn't say that it was a discussion between them and Gongsun Ao, but only that it was his own suggestion. "Then, all right." Dongmen Xiangzhong agreed. As of now, that's the only way to go. In this way, Uncle Zhong Huibo settled both sides, and a family crisis was passed smoothly. This is also the first time that the Sanhuan family has helped each other, and the three families have felt the power of helping each other for the first time. Things are in the past, but the sequelae remain. Gongsun Ao's reputation was not good at first, but now it is even worse. In the imperial court, every time he saw Dongmen Xiangzhong, he was embarrassed. At home, Shengji has no good feelings for him. He has been in love for so many years. Now that his sister is dead, he still hasn't made himself a full-time member.The two sons were also eccentric. Seeing him was like seeing a monster. Also, Gongsun Ao always felt that he suffered a big loss, why?Because Dongmen Xiangzhong's dowry was sent to the woman's house back then, so she couldn't ask for it back.Therefore, the betrothal gift paid to Dongmen Xiangzhong was paid by himself.Think about it, a lot of betrothal gifts were paid out, but after a few days of fun, they were sent back. Is it a loss? Gongsun Ao felt that as the days passed, he became more and more boring, and his mood became more and more annoying. He didn't like everything, and no one was a good person.This is simply not living, it is simply staying up for the month. "Where am I Gongsun Ao? I am Gongsun Ao who fell into the water. I will ask Gongsun Ao to forget it." From then on, Gongsun Ao changed his name in private: Gongsun Ao. The more this happened, the more Gongsun Ao missed the beauty who was sent back to Ju. In a blink of an eye, the autumn of the next year came, and King Xiang of Zhou died. King Xiang of Zhou passed away, so the State of Lu should send someone to offer condolences.Zang Wenzhong was so old that his front teeth could no longer control his saliva, so naturally he couldn't go; Dongmen Xiangzhong had just gone on a few business trips, so he didn't want to move anymore.After the turn, it was Gongsun Ao's turn. "Father, go, just relax." The two sons encouraged him.In fact, it doesn't matter whether Dad can relax, the important thing is that everyone can relax after Dad is gone. In this way, Gongsun Ao set out on the road with the funeral. Along the way, Gongsun Ao didn't have the time to think about King Zhou, he just missed Ju Nu. "The living can't think about it, but the dead?" Gongsun Ao said to himself.When I saw the funeral and thought of the dowry, I felt even worse. Seeing that they have reached the great capital Luoyi, they have already seen Luoyi City from a distance. "Go, go back." Gongsun Ao gave the order to the royal. "How to go back?" The driver was surprised and asked. "Go to Ju country." Gongsun Ao made an unprecedented decision. He decided to give up the mission of going to the royal family of Zhou to express condolences, and went to the country of Ju to find the daughter of Ju and pursue his love. OMG what a great love story. My God, I gave up my family and career for the woman I love. God, for a woman, disregarding the interests of the country. In any case, Gongsun Ao took the money and fled to the state of Ju. I don't know whether it is a lover who finally gets married or Gongsun Ao's sincerity, so that gold and stone can be opened. In short, Gongsun Ao went to Ju State to find his daughter, and Ju State gave him the treatment of a doctor in accordance with the international rules of political asylum.From then on, Gongsun Ao and his little wife lived an inhuman life in Ju. Inhuman life, that is, life like a fairy. The patriarch who absconded with money and took a mistress abroad was Gongsun Ao. The Gongsun Ao incident became an international event at that time, and it also became the main topic of folk talks. After Gongsun Ao eloped, Lu Wengong had to urgently send someone to the Zhou royal family to express his condolences and explain that the candidate must undoubtedly be Dongmen Xiangzhong.Dongmen Xiangzhong was very unwilling, he was very angry: "Damn Gongsun Ao, let me wipe his ass for everything." When Dongmen Xiangzhong arrived in Luoyi, he immediately found that the death of King Zhou Xiang was not news, but that Gongsun Ao eloped with money. Many people came to ask him: "Hey, what's the inside story? Let me know." "Gongsun Ao How do you feel about elopement?" "Is that woman really that flirty?" Since ancient times, gossip has been something that people have been interested in. "Damn Gongsun Ao, I will confiscate your family's fiefdom and let your wife and children drink the northwest wind." Dongmen Xiangzhong swore through gritted teeth. However, what Dongmen Xiangzhong didn't know was that just as he was swearing in the great capital, Sanhuan held another emergency parent meeting.Afterwards, Sanhuan found Duke Wen of Lu and successfully fooled him, so Gongsun Ao's eldest son, Mengsungu, took over the position of head of Mengsun's family, and at the same time inherited Gongsun Ao's fief and Sima position. Sanhuan still stands in the power field of Lu State.When Dongmen Xiangzhong returned to the state of Lu, the day lily was cold, so he had to accept the reality. In the country of Lu, the deeds of Gongsun Ao are well-known, and many people said: "Looking at Gongsun Ao, he can give up a big family business, so why should we be reluctant?" Since then, elopement has become a fashion in Lu State. Thousands of years later, the Duke of Windsor in England gave up his title and eloped to Spain with an American widow.
