The envoys of the Luo Kingdom have not traveled outside for many years, and they do not pay much attention to the wars among the countries. The Luo Kingdom's official office does not go to Wangji, and the annual tribute is sent by envoys.
Now he suddenly came to the Yan Kingdom, just like among the immortals, the hidden No. 1 sect in the world suddenly sent his own world to the entire world, which naturally made the entire Yan Kingdom's nobles look at him.
They all discussed privately what could happen that could make Luo Guo come forward now.
After the envoy from the Luo Kingdom arrived in the Yan Kingdom, they were naturally treated with great courtesy and went directly to the Yan Kingdom's palace.
He said to the Marquis of Yan: "Marquis Yan, the foreign minister came to the Kingdom of Yan in compliance with the king's order.
You have a vast land, but the population in the Yan Kingdom is not large.
On the thousands of miles of forest plains north of Jicheng, there are still countless Rong and Hu people living.
Eight hundred years ago, your ancestors accepted the enfeoffment of King Su in Haojing City. All the countries in the world swore an oath in front of King Kang and King Su to wipe out the barbarians.
Now that you are sending troops to Qi State, the Yan State will inevitably be empty. I am afraid that the Rong and Hu people will invade the Yan State.
The people of the Yan State were of noble descent from the Xia Dynasty, but they were invaded by the Yi and Di. This was something that King Su would not allow.
The war between the Xia and Yi finally benefited the Yi and Di. This is a punishment from God. The king hopes that you can consider it carefully.
Have you forgotten the oaths sworn by your ancestors? "
The more Luo Shi said, the colder the look on Yanhou's face became, "Your Majesty, although not as noble as the Luo family, the Yan family is also a noble family with the surname Ji. You should not speak so rudely to a prince.
For eight hundred years, neither the Rong nor the Hu people attacked the Yan State. This was because the Yan State was strong and Gu's ministers and troops were able to maintain victory over the Rong and Hu people when they attacked Qi State.
The Marquis of Luo must have been overly worried, so he asked your envoy to return to Zhaocheng and inform the Marquis of Luo that after the Luo and Jin states, the Yan state would take on the important task of carrying the King of Zhou's tripod. "
The envoy from the Luo State did not expect that Marquis Yan would say such a righteous thing. The Yan State has not fallen for so many years. Isn't it because of the support of the Qi State and the Luo State?
Yan State has two thousand miles of territory, one thousand miles of which was donated by Qi State. How can it be the credit of Yan State?
Among the major powers now, Qin, Chu, and Zhao all have Yi Di on their borders, but only Yan is still on the strategic defensive against the Yi Di. Have you never thought about the reason?
How was the education of the monarchs of Yan State carried out?
There were too many flaws in Marquis Yan's words. The envoy from Luo Kingdom opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only stand up and cup his hands and said: "You are a prince, and no one in the Yan country can violate your will. The foreign ministers will return to the country now."
The conversation quickly spread and caused some commotion.
There are also various forces in the Yan Kingdom. The Marquis of Yan can kill the prime minister, but he cannot stop these people's ideas.
These people opposed Yan State's conquest of Qi State, and the Prime Minister was just a representative. Now that they saw that even Luo State could not persuade them, these people were already desperate.
Someone lamented: "A foolish monarch will lead the country to the road of overthrow. Is the country of Yan going to perish like this?"
In this era, nobles have a strong sense of ownership. The king and the nobles share the world. This is not a declaration, but a truth.
Soon someone came up with a radical method and said harshly: "The Yan Kingdom does not belong to him alone.
There are too many people from the official family, clan relatives, and so many nobles who are dissatisfied with him. He wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom. We will never agree and kill him!
Presumably the ancestors of the past generations will also congratulate us. "
Kill the king!
Faced with his radical idea, everyone was shocked at first, and then their eyes immediately started to shine.
Regicide is a good way to break the political deadlock. After hundreds of years of chaos, regicide is not a big deal. As long as it is done secretly enough and the responsibility is shifted to the riots, no one needs to pay for it. Responsible for things.
These ministers soon began to search for suitable warriors and carry out rigorous operations. Regicide was not that simple, especially after experiencing so many regicides, there were now more ways to prevent assassinations.
Many times when ministers enter the palace, they even have to take off their swords. The seats between the ministers and the monarch must also maintain enough time for the guards to react.
The person who had previously proposed regicide secretly concealed his merits and fame and stirred up conflicts in the Yan Kingdom. It was best to create chaos so that all hands and feet could be dealt with.
The Luo Kingdom did not want their actions to be discovered, and the nobles of the Yan Kingdom did not want to be charged with regicide. This is understandable. After all, when the Luo Kingdom killed the emperor Ji Pai before, they also did it secretly, and finally installed He got a reputation for falling ill and dying suddenly.
The Marquis of Yan rejected Luo Guo's request, so the plan to kill him was officially put on the agenda. At the same time, he also had to go to Yan Guo to contact the nobles in the north to prevent the Hu people from invading.
Thirty miles outside Zhaocheng, there is a hill. This hill and the surrounding dozens of miles are the hunting ground of the government. There is a bamboo forest in the hunting ground, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is very beautiful and has always been forbidden. Outsiders come in.
This is one of the training grounds for the secret personnel of the Luo Kingdom Office.
"drink!"
The sun shone on the earth, and loud shouts of shouting rang out in the forest. There was an open space in the bamboo forest, where many strong men with their upper bodies exposed were practicing swordplay.
Sweat flowed down their muscle lines, and then dripped onto the ground. The sound of the swords piercing the air could even be heard as they swung their swords.
Anyone can see that this is a group of people with extremely high personal force value.
These are some of the dark side warriors of the Luo Kingdom. Most of them are the children trained by the Luo family since childhood. These people even include the children of the Luo Kingdom's royal family.
Luo Lianshe, who killed the Marquis of Qi Lu Wujiu with one arrow in the past, was one of the outstanding figures in the dark side.
These people played a great role in Luo Guo's office. Although assassination was a terrifying political action, it had to be said that it was miraculous in the weird political atmosphere.
Especially when dealing with people like Lu Wujiu, Wei Houqing and Yanhou, there are countless people who want to kill him. At this time, the dark side can directly deal with them, so there is no need to pay the price of blood on the trash.
A letter was sent here, "The mission of the family leader has come. The Marquis of Yan attacked the Qi State, which led to the invasion of Lin Hu. For the sake of ambition, we forgot about the defense of Yixia. The family master needs us to go to the Yan State and kill the Marquis of Yan."
Immediately, many people's eyes lit up. The dark side of the Luo Kingdom was mainly engaged in intelligence and protecting the office. There were not many real assassinations. After all, you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet.
There are very few assassinations against Dr. Qing, let alone against a monarch. Now that they have this opportunity, everyone is suddenly ready to take action.
In the end, the four people who were best at assassination were selected. One of the four was good at using poison. It was in his hands that Ji Bai died, and he was responsible for tempering the poison for the weapon.
All four of them are proficient in lurking and hiding, and they are all sharpshooters. After all, compared to assassins who need to get up close, using a crossbow from a distance to kill with one hit is the assassination method with a high success rate and a high survival rate.
These four people were sent to the Kingdom of Yan, and there would be people to support them along the way. Before leaving, the leader warned: "Killing a prince is not an easy matter.
If you come back without success and wait for the next opportunity, don't leave your life in Yan Kingdom in vain, it's not worth it.
But the good news is that there are also undercurrents surging in the Yan Kingdom. The nobles of the Yan Kingdom are also dissatisfied with the Marquis of Yan. It is very likely that there will be a riot in Jicheng. This is a good opportunity for you to take action.
The strong bow will be dismantled and brought to Yan for you, so don't worry.
King Su will protect you! "
After the four said goodbye to their brothers, they followed a caravan from Luo State to Yan State and came to Yan State.
At this time, the army of the State of Yan had already started fighting with the State of Qi. The main force of the State of Qi was outside and was not the opponent of the State of Yan. In addition, the army of the State of Yan was attacked by the State of Yan. The army of the State of Qi had not yet reacted. In just one month, ten troops were lost. city.
As the Yan State's army penetrated deeply into the Qi State, and the Qi State gradually came to its senses and began to recruit farmers to defend the city, this greatly slowed down the Yan State's advance, and the demand for food in the Yan State suddenly increased. .
In Jicheng, when he heard the Yan army marching forward with great success, Marquis Yan was very excited and laughed loudly: "I know that Qi is in decline, while Yan has been fighting against the Rong and Hu all the year round, and its soldiers are strong.
As long as it attacks Qi, it will definitely not be able to stop it. Once it captures half of Qi's territory, Yan will become one of the great powers in the world. "
After killing the prime minister and belittling a group of ministers, the Marquis of Yan was left with only some villains who flattered and deceived the Lord. After hearing the words of the Marquis of Yan, they started to flatter him one after another.
Marquis Yan was so excited that he wanted to have some entertainment. Staying in the palace all this time was really boring, but he didn't expect that when he heard the news, one of his bodyguards' eyes flashed with surprise.
The nobles of the Yan Kingdom soon got the news that the Marquis of Yan was leaving the palace. The few people who made the plan said with excitement: "The opportunity has come to drive away the people and create chaos.
Then he disguised himself as a thug, killed the Hunjun and left immediately, welcomed the new king, withdrew the army, and put the blame on the Hunjun.
Qi will definitely suffer damage from fighting with Chu, and they will not fight head-on with us.
Then he will marry the noble daughter of the Qi State for the new king and repair the relationship between the two countries, so that the Yan State can sit back and relax. "
It has to be said that these nobles' daring to think and act, and the means to deal with the aftermath, are really beyond what the Marquis of Yan can match. The Luo Kingdom's intelligence is also extremely fast, and their connections in the Yan Kingdom are very strong.
The four of them had occupied a favorable terrain early on. From a high position, they could overlook the entire street. With the strong bows in their hands, Marquis Yan had no luck.
When Marquis Yan appeared, as soon as he reached the middle of the street, someone suddenly shouted fire, and then he saw flames and thick smoke coming out of the stalls on the roadside. Stimulated by the thick smoke, the horses were instantly frightened.
The streets became slightly chaotic, followed by loud shouts of "Hunjun, I will kill you today". Many figures appeared from everywhere, and even among Yanhou's guards there were people with swords drawn.
First there was a wave of crossbows firing at each other, several people fell down one after another. Yan Hou was already stupid. He was pulled out of the car by his favorite minister and was about to escape under the protection of the guards.
When the four people from the Luo Kingdom saw the situation, they understood that the opportunity had come. They immediately bent their bows and set arrows. They used the standard arrows of the Yan Army. The four people shot arrows at the same time. One arrow hit the leg of the Marquis of Yan, and the other arrow hit the Marquis of Yan. It penetrated directly from the abdomen, and it was a bloody hole.
Blood spurted out from Marquis Yan's mouth, and he couldn't survive.
"Walk!"
The four people who understood that Marquis Yan was bound to die immediately left the scene, hiding their merits and fame, so that everyone present would think that Marquis Yan died at the hands of the nobles of the Yan Kingdom.
"monarch!"
Following a shrill wail, everyone turned their gazes over and saw that Marquis Yan had fallen into a pool of blood!
————
In the twenty-third year of Duke Li's reign, he attacked Qi and the Rong and Hu invaded.
Luo Shi said: "The Xia are fighting each other, and the Yi and Di are benefiting. King Su is not hesitant."
The duke said: "Yan is strong. It is enough to attack Qi and resist Hu."
When the Ronghu invaded, they lost 300 miles of mountains and rivers and abandoned 200,000 people. The people of the country resented it.
Autumn, kill the Duke at Ji. ——"Historical Records·Yan Family"
