I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 83 When will Jin's hegemony be restored?

There is no need for Zhixuan to deal with the matter of Qiren, he just wants to know the detailed process of Zhiyao after he went to Qiguo.

Although the occasion was a bit wrong, Zhiyao still tried her best to clear up Zhibi's doubts, but there are some things that cannot be said in public, including intentionally supporting Zhao Bolu to achieve certain goals.

The people of Qi who followed Zhiyao and others all the way, faced with the attack of the two "divisions" of the Jin army, they had no power to parry, and they were completely miserable.

The composition of these Qi people is very complicated, and there is no one who can give orders, and they can be messed up without a fierce battle. It must be such a miserable situation to encounter a powerful attack.

It was precisely because she knew that the people from Qi who were following her belonged to the mob, Zhiyao didn't feel any nervousness all the way here.

Zhiyao didn't choose to defeat those Qi people who followed, mainly because she didn't want any changes in the situation, not because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to beat them.

"In this way, you made Zhao Bolu plunder the ritual vessels of the State of Qi, and captured all the officials of the State of Qi! Among them, is there any doctor Qing?" Zhixuan was surprised at the robbing of the State of Qi's ritual vessels, but when he heard that dozens of Linzi were also captured 'The nobles of the state of Qi were even more pleasantly surprised.

To be honest, Zhiyao was quite puzzled about being able to capture a large number of nobles from the Qi State. She looked down on the captured Qi State nobles from the bottom of her heart, thinking that it was extremely stupid for them to keep arguing when the capital was attacked. .

Zhiyao said to Zhixuan: "Zu, I don't want him to go to the capital, maybe it can be attributed to the hospitality of 'Zhi'."

It is still the era when whoever captures the captives will be dealt with. Even if Zhixuan is Zhiyao's grandfather, Zhiyao's consent is still required for how to dispose of the captives.

Zhixuan said: "The ritual vessels of the Qi State cannot be held."

That thing is too important, not only related to Qi's face, but also related to whether Jiang's surname can continue to hold the country's political height.

Rites, right?All countries have been using it since the founding of the country, and that part of the ritual vessels was bestowed by the Zhou royal family at its peak.

That is to say, it is now the era when rituals are broken and music is broken. If some ritual vessels are damaged or lost, they can be made by themselves.In other words, when the Emperor Zhou could still command the world, no prince dared to make ritual vessels privately, and if the ritual vessels were broken or lost, the Emperor Zhou had to make up for them.

In the Spring and Autumn Period for 300 years, many princes lacked ritual vessels and were not replaced by the Emperor Zhou.

It was the turn of the Zhou royal family to move eastward, and the princes who became the entrusted princes of Zhou Tianzi presented sacrificial vessels to Zhou Tianzi. To a certain extent, it opened a breakthrough for the princes to forge sacrificial vessels in private.

A simple comparison: Originally, the power to mint money is in the center, and no one else can mint money privately. This is not only to ensure the uniqueness of the currency, but also a manifestation of maintaining the authority of the center; Whether or not it is recognized is that the authority of the central government has been lost. The difference lies in whether it has been discovered or understood.

The world with the surname Ji means that the emperor of Zhou and the feudal lords got into trouble together, and the rituals collapsed. First, the royal family of Zhou attacked each other for the position of emperor, and then there were princes who did not agree with the legitimacy of the emperor of Zhou.

Zhiyao never had the idea of ​​taking the Qi State's ritual vessels as her own, but Qi Jun's pestle and mortar passed away, and the way of doing some things will change.

"Maybe I can control the state of Qi with a weapon?" Zhiyao said in a low voice.

Zhibi narrowed his eyes and silently nodded in agreement.

The matter is obvious there, Qi Jun passed away suddenly, and many things must have not been explained in time. Yes, such as entrusting the ministers to help stabilize the situation.

About two hours later, Zhao Yang came with his guards.

When Zhao Yang came, he saw a group of young men chatting together, and the scene seemed to be dominated by Zhiyao, and the mood after winning the battle suddenly became a little less beautiful.

However, when Zhao Yang saw Zhao Bolu, thinking about what Zhao Bolu did in Qi State this time, he began to think about how to maximize the benefits from the robbed Qi State ritual objects.

As the evening approached, Zhiyao and the others followed the army to the Jin army camp outside the city of "Puyang".

It is estimated that the matter of bringing back the ritual utensils of the Qi State is really too big. For the Jin people, it is not only a psychological encouragement, but also the pride of being able to manipulate the Qi State at will. In the wartime state, a banquet was still held.

Happy event!It's good to drink without greed.

"This time Yao led the army to conquer 'Linzi' and seize the ritual vessels of the Qi State, which is the first time in the past hundred years for me (Jin State)!" Zhixuan is the identity of the 'Yuan Rong', so he must be sitting on the throne.

Because Zhixuan no longer regards Zhiyao as a child, he will definitely not let Zhiyao sit beside him to act as a grandparent and grandson. Location.

Sitting on the main seat is Zhixuan.

Zhao Yang sat near the right side of the main seat, so he was the only one.

The people in the first row of seats on the left and right sides are seated in the order of their positions in the military. Most of them are from the Zhi family or the Zhao family, and a small number are middle-class nobles.

The juniors of the noble family, including Zhiyao, used to have no seats on such occasions. It is a great improvement to be able to appear on such occasions and still have seats. Treat each other squarely, and then you will be able to participate in family affairs.

Being able to participate in family affairs is a kind of affirmation for the juniors. Although many juniors have the status of heirs, they have no real power in the family at all, and they don't even have any resources at all. It's just that outsiders see their usual treatment and think it's very good.

A group of juniors were very excited, especially Zhao Bolu who seemed the most excited.

Earlier, Zhao Bolu was called by Zhao Yang to have a private conversation. Outsiders could not know what the father and son talked about. Just looking at Zhao Bolu's mental outlook before and after, one can guess that it was a good thing for Zhao Bolu.

"Yao, this is a toast to you." Zhao Bolu looked more confident than before.

What is it?It is a style with three legs, one handle (ear), two pillars, and a round mouth in the shape of a trumpet. It was a ritual vessel of the Shang Dynasty a long time ago, and it can be used by a nobleman later.

Zhiyao held the gun in one hand, and covered her face with the other arm, and drank the turbid-looking wine.

Distillation technology has not yet been developed, and it is right for the wine to look cloudy.

At present, no matter what kind of wine has a color, it usually looks like a cloudy liquid. As for the types of wine, there are actually quite a lot, and the degree should be between five and eight degrees.

What Zhiyao drank was a kind of viscous wine, and even grains of small yellow rice could be seen in it.

There is nothing wrong with wine showing a viscous shape. Think about the sentence "eat the pot of pulp to welcome the master", and you can understand that some wine itself looks like that.

Zhao Bolu himself took a long spoon to refill the wine, raised the bronze pot again, greeted Zhi Yao, Wei Ju and Han Geng, and said, "Drink this pot again."

Zhiyao, who can't talk about whether he likes to drink or not, will not lack etiquette. The four of them greet each other and drink the wine in Guzhong.

Of course, Zhiyao hasn't fully developed yet, so she doesn't drink too much wine anyway.

The happy scene of the four of them was seen by everyone. The clan members or retainers of the Zhi family and the Zhao family had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and the thoughts in the hearts of the middle-class nobles were definitely more complicated.

It is certain that the Fan family and the Zhongxing family will be removed from the state of Jin, which means that there are only four noble families left in the state of Jin.

After this turmoil, to be honest, no middle-class nobles are willing to have another turmoil. I really hope that the four high-ranking families can abandon the previous conflicts. No one knows how long the hegemony that belongs to the Jin country can maintain its dignity.

The middle-class nobles are not only worried about the future of the country, but also fear that if the chaos continues, one day they will die tragically, and the family will lose the sacrifice to their ancestors.

So, they don't have enough trust in Zhibi, Zhao Yang, Wei Lu, and Han Buxin, and they can only hope that Zhiyao, Zhao Bolu, Wei Ju, and Han Geng can establish a reliable friendship, and they can take care of their friendship in the future when they are in charge of each other. It is best to maintain friendship and sincere cooperation.

If Zhiyao had the ability to read minds, she would think that middle-class nobles who think like that are too stupid.

There is harmony and harmony between the several high-ranking families, and the unlucky ones are definitely middle-level nobles like them.

After all, the bigger the family, the more benefits it needs. If several big families don't encroach on each other's interests, they can only attack the middle-level nobles!
What the really smart middle-class nobles should hope for is that several high-ranking families will fight instead of fighting.Because the more entangled the noble family is, the more checks and balances are formed, the safer it will be to represent the middle nobles.

Everyone was having a good time, and the expo road that they had left before hurried in, leaned over to Zhibi and said something, so that Zhibi's face changed suddenly.

Because Zhiyao did a good job this time, it is more obvious that Zhi's prestige has been improved. When everyone saw that Zhibi's face became gloomy, they couldn't help but looked at Zhibi and stopped talking.

Zhao Yang asked, "What happened?"

With a stiff face, Zhibi said, "Doctor Liang was attacked and died."

Doctor Liang?This "Liang" is a feudal land. Although there are many place names that are repeated, everyone still knows that Zhixuan is talking about Liang Yingfu, who was sent to Ju as an envoy.

Zhixuan has been observing Zhao Yang, wanting to find out from the expression on his face whether Zhao Yang sent someone to assassinate him.

Zhao Yang, who heard the news of Liang Ying's father's death, was very obviously taken aback, and then the hook at the corner of his mouth quickly disappeared, replaced by a deadpan expression.

This scene was captured by Zhixuan very keenly, and he immediately determined that Zhao Yang sent someone to kill Liang Yingfu.

After digesting the news, many of the other nobles believed that Zhao Yang sent someone to kill Liang Ying's father.The reason is that Zhao Yang was able to kill Zhao Wu, who had brought gifts to his door, and killing Liang Yingfu, who had been eating inside and outside, seemed to be in line with Zhao's family style.

This is the disadvantage of having a bad reputation. Even if someone did not do something, everyone thinks it must have been done by him.

Gradually, Zhao Yang could see something was wrong from some people's faces, and moved their lips when they wanted to say something, but they still didn't say anything, just sat there with a calm face and remained motionless.

The atmosphere in the military tent is becoming strange, and the banquet ended in a strange atmosphere...
