I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 238 Get a Rare Treasure
According to the AD, this year is 484 BC, and Zhiyao is 23 years old.

Now people have the habit of growing beards after being crowned. Zhiyao has already held the crowning ceremony. Due to her young age, the beard is only thin and short.

It's a pity that Zhiyao only has a beard on his chin. If he grows a small goatee in the future, the two beards under his nose will not be full of beards, and he will not be a bearded man.

Zheng Junsheng is wearing a uniform.

What is a chapter service?It is a kind of clothing with special patterns, which is not considered a uniform representing "inside the system", but can also show one's own identity.

There is a difference in status, so of course Zhiyao and Zhong Wu saluted first, and then said: "Greetings to Marquis Zheng on behalf of the Widowed Monarch."

If the strength of Zheng State is similar to that of Jin State, Zheng Junsheng should ask about the impolite greetings of this invasion method.

However, the state of Zheng is weaker than the state of Jin, and the geographical environment of the state of Zheng is really bad, no matter how angry I am, I have to bear it.

Zhiyao glanced around, but didn't see Zheng Guo in power and any ministers with enough weight.

The successor of Zheng Guo as prime minister after Zichan was Zi Taishu, and Zi Taishu's successor was Si Si, who was the current Zheng Guo in power.

I went to "Changge" to resist the Chu army before, but I didn't see it, so I didn't come back for a while.

Therefore, although Bai Gongsheng brought the Chu army to the city of "Xinzheng", there were still some Chu troops surrounding "Changge", so that Si Xi couldn't get away at all.

Fortunately, Zhiyao is not someone's minister, otherwise it would be very troublesome to communicate with Zheng Junsheng.

What's the meaning?It means that as a monarch, he does not directly talk to his ministers.This is the rule, and it is also part of the style.

Of course, Zheng Junsheng's failure to receive Zhiyao and Zhong Wu in Miyagi is not in accordance with etiquette, and whether there are enough important ministers to entertain guests together has become less important.

Zhiyao and Zhongwu were led to a place with a shed.

The shed is a kind of sun-shading cloth that is built with a wooden frame, covered with a layer of straw mats, and placed with a garden and a table. Fruits and bacon are placed on the table, and there are special people cooking wine on the side.

The main reason is that Zhiyao's meeting was rushed, and then Zheng Guojun and his ministers thought it was better to see him early than later, which made the reception really rough.

However, Zheng Junsheng's presence at the scene in person is regarded as the most solemn courtesy, and the occasion or preparations are not available, which is relatively secondary.

"I don't know why Zhiyao's meeting happened?" Zheng Junsheng asked straight to the point after presiding over the toast.

He is the monarch and it is no problem to call Zhiyao directly.

As an ordinary person, it is not insulting to call Zhiyao directly, just don't call him Ji Yao, otherwise calling someone by name is tantamount to swearing.

What is more unusual is to call Zhou Tianzi, and the surname becomes a kind of respect.

That is the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is difficult to understand without special research.

For example, how many people know that "Yu Yiren" is what the great kings of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties called themselves, and it is also what the Chinese call their kings?

Therefore, when the characters mentioned Zhou Tianzi in the dialogue, they definitely did not call him "Son of Heaven" or "Great King" or "Shang Wang".

Then again, Zhiyao didn't hear anything, but when Ji Yao heard it, she would preconceive it as a woman...

"Chengzi cast a punishment tripod, and Zheng Xiang made it into law with 'bamboo punishment'." Zhiyao's "Chengzi" is Zichan.

Zheng Junsheng didn't quite understand what Zhiyao meant.

That "bamboo punishment" was created by a man named Deng Xi, but it's not really a law, it's just for fun.

Later, the current state of Zheng used the "Bamboo Punishment" created by Deng Xi to sentence the author himself, Deng Xi, and the "Bamboo Punishment" also had actual legal effect in Zheng State.

In Zhiyao's view, first there was Zichan who cast the punishment tripod, then Deng Xi created the "bamboo punishment", and then Sisi used "bamboo punishment" to judge people. Zheng Guo is actually a pioneer running on the road of Legalism nation.

Seeing Zheng Junsheng's incomprehensible expression, Zhiyao simply went to understand and said, "Can you show me the punishment tripod and give me the 'bamboo punishment'?"

He had some clues, knowing that it was impossible for Zheng Guo to hand over the punishment tripod made by Zichan, and the real goal of this trip was to ask for Deng Xinong's "bamboo punishment".

Sure enough, Zheng Junsheng didn't feel offended, and even thought that Zhiyao's wanting to see Xingding was an affirmation of Zichan's career, and immediately agreed to ask for "bamboo punishment".

"It's okay to read the tripod, it's just..." Why did Zheng Junsheng leave Miyagi and come here?Isn't it just that she doesn't want Zhiyao to go to the high-lying Miyagi at all.

The Xingding tripod is placed in a square in Miyagi. Let Zhiyao see it today, doesn't it mean that he still went to Miyagi?
Zheng Guojun and ministers had to think about a question, such as whether Zhiyao really wanted to see Xingding, or wanted to read "Xinzheng"'s city defense deployment.

Zheng Junsheng even condescended to bring you down, but in the end Zhiyao was still sent to Miyagi, what's wrong?

"This time the Jin army came here to form an alliance with Chu?" Han Yingqi was puzzled.

Who is this man?He is the son of Hanhu.The Han family is one of the "Mu people" in the state of Zheng.

The so-called "Mu people" are the former seven Mus of Zheng State, namely Zihan (Gongzi Xi), Zisi, Zifeng, Ziyou (Gongzi Yan), Ziyin, Ziguo, Ziliang (Gongzi Quji), Their descendants multiplied and became the "Mu clan" of Zheng State, namely the Han clan, Si clan, Guo clan, Feng clan, You clan, Yin clan, and Liang clan.

In a sense, the "Mu Clan" of Zheng State is like the Qing Clan of Jin State, a force that can't be lost. It's just that the "Mu Clan" of Zheng State looks bleak because the Jin State's Qing family is too powerful.

Zhiyao didn't know who Han Yingqi was at all, she just understood that being able to speak on this occasion meant that her status was not low or her family background was very powerful.

"How can I form an alliance with Chu?" Zhiyao gave a positive statement.

Just a word, the Zheng Guojun and ministers present immediately let go of the big stone in their hearts.

You must know that the Chu army came first and put a lot of psychological pressure on Zheng Guojun and his ministers, and the Jin army also came later.

Anyway, Zhiyao is also a person of status, so she won't tell lies easily, right?
No, the atmosphere at the scene that was a bit depressing had become lively.

During the whole process, Zheng Guojun and ministers mentioned many topics, except that Zhiyao led the army to wreak havoc on Zheng Guo.

This is Zhu Xia's hospitality style, and it's more embarrassing to mention it.

Seeing that Zheng Junsheng would rather treat guests in this kind of shabby place, Zhiyao knew very well that she didn't want to go to Miyagi today, and it was more or less regrettable.

After all, it is hard to say whether the Jin army will attack "Xinzheng" this time. One day they may attack a strong city like "Xinzheng". It is a good thing to have the opportunity to see the various deployments of "Xinzheng".

That's the problem!

Zheng Guo has long heard Zhiyao's reputation as a "master of siege", and his defense is to be spied on by Zhiyao's city defense layout of "Xinzheng", so he doesn't want to become the fourth capital of a country that Zhiyao conquers.

"This is the 'Bamboo Sentence'." Han Yingqi pointed to a box on a car.

They had been chatting for a while, but it was still under the constant clamor of the Chu army outside the city.

There was a Chu army outside the city who seemed to be attacking the city at any moment, and Zheng Guojun and his ministers specially took time to entertain Zhiyao. Although the hospitality was not in Miyagi, it was actually enough to save face.

The "Bamboo Punishment" that Zhiyao wanted has already been loaded into the car, and it must be that Zheng Guojun and his ministers want to see off the guests.

Detain Zhiyao and Zhong Wu?Not to mention what Zheng Guo can get, it is certain that Zhishen and Zhong Quan will be furious and lead an army to attack after learning about it.

The fact that Zheng Junsheng sent Zhiyao and Zhong Quan outside the city gate was a bit weird.

Logically speaking, it is not enough for the king of a country to send him off in person, it is enough to send a minister of similar status.

"They're trying to confuse Chu State." Zhiyao directly understood the thoughts of Zheng Guojun and his ministers without any doubts.

At that moment, Zhiyao almost couldn't bear to hold Zheng Junsheng hostage, but she held back abruptly.

No need!

If you really did that, wouldn't you be creating opportunities for the Chu army to benefit?

In addition, Zhao Yang's reputation for killing Zhao Wu who came to the door was ruined, that is to say, Zhao Wuyi in history was sinister enough and capable of doing great things, otherwise Zhao Yang was destined to implicate generations of Zhao's descendants.

If Zhiyao hijacks Zheng Junsheng, it is inevitable that his reputation will be completely ruined. Chen Bing's Bai Gongsheng outside the city of "Xinzheng" will benefit first, and the Wei family will also benefit greatly later. This is really not how good people are treated.

After Zhiyao entered "Xinzheng" and Zheng Junsheng was sent outside the city to Bai Gongsheng's ears, the Chu army was not as friendly as before, and showed a vigilant attitude towards the Jin army.

The attitude is of course demonstrated by various actions, including the rearrangement of the camps, trying to control all the main roads around "Xinzheng".

"Did Yao enter the city for this thing?" Wei Ju asked Zhiyao as he fiddled with various bamboo slips when he saw Zhiyao's return.

Zhiyao nodded and said, "Exactly."

It must be admitted that in terms of pursuing the legal system, Zheng Guo is indeed ahead of other countries, including Jin Guo.

Although the "Bamboo Punishment" was created by Deng Xi himself, it is estimated that it was not a product of closed doors, or Si Lu would not have used it.

Of course Deng Xi belonged to the aristocratic class, otherwise how could he be literate.If he wanted to write something, he had to communicate with other people, and his works covered the thoughts of other nobles in Zheng State.

Others may think that Zhiyao's entry into "Xinzheng" is a bit of a fuss just to get "bamboo punishment", and even feel that the misunderstanding by the Chu army is not worth the gain.

Only Zhiyao understands that getting the "bamboo punishment" is actually a huge profit.

This earning does not refer to how to preserve the "Bamboo Punishment" for future generations. Firstly, it can understand the thinking of Zheng Guo's academic circle from the "Bamboo Punishment", and secondly, it will help the Zhi family to formulate laws.

Only the latter point is actually of inestimable value!
Zhiyao didn't plan to teach anyone to be smart, just have fun by herself.

"Bai Gong is already hostile to me." Wei Ju said.

Zhiyao nodded and said, "That's it, go to another place."

What is a fight with the Chu army?The state of Jin is not the boss of the state of Zheng now, so it has no such obligation.

Of course, if Chu Jun wants to fight?It's all right for them to accompany them!
As for whether it was used by Zheng Guo?
Zhiyao has never been a person who is willing to suffer!
