I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

In a few days, Baigong and Sikong Yan came to the capital under the escort of Sun Wu to meet Wang Zichao. Wang Zichao naturally welcomed them, not only arranged a suburban welcome, but also rewarded Sikong heavily Yan and Guan Cong.

And these workers are like this, and they have temporarily settled down in Jingyi.

Although the number of these people is not large, they can be regarded as a banner.In addition, after a bloody battle on Sun Wu's side, he took Qianyi from the mouth of the tiger, so those Chinese, refugees, and big clans who were used to adapting to the wind, who could not live in the king's territory, also came in an endless stream. Jingyi gathered.

Seeing this situation, Li Ran simply set up defenses in Jingyi, Qianyi, and Dongyu. On the one hand, it was to consolidate his own strength, and on the other hand, it was convenient to recruit nobles and refugees, and recruit troops.

For a time, Wang Zichao's momentum increased greatly.No one expected that the prince's dynasty could make a comeback, and there was a faint momentum to fight against the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Wangmeng, supported by Shan Qi, was placed in the front after all, and he claimed to be orthodox in the Zhou family, so Wang Zichao inevitably fell behind in this respect.And in terms of power, it's still a lot worse.

……

Let’s talk about Shan Qi’s side. Although he left Chengzhou Luoyi with Zhou Wangmeng this time, he used the tactic of luring the enemy to go deep and achieved great success. He wiped out nearly ten thousand enemies and burned his general to death. .

However, in the ensuing battle, the king's division led by Situ Chou was defeated in Qianyi, and another mutiny occurred in Luoyi.

This time and time again, although it is said that there are winners and losers for each other.But on the whole, Shanqi still seems to have suffered a big loss.

After the ceremony, Shan, Liu and Yizhi led them directly into the city to meet King Zhou.

They also knew that the current King Meng of Zhou couldn't take charge at all.So after the two of them greeted each other, they didn't think about presenting any gifts, let alone having more polite greetings with King Zhou.After the ceremony was over, he was about to bow and leave the hall.

Of course, these words that Ji talked about lowered his posture, and it was considered to have given the Zhou royal family some face.

"If you have meritorious deeds, don't discard them. If you have meritorious deeds, you should record them in policy books. Future generations can't forget them. Are these things not recorded? Where did Tang Shuyu's heart go? And don't forget about your ancestors, Sun Bozhen. At the beginning, it was the Secretary Dian who was in charge of the classics of the Jin Kingdom! Since you are a descendant of the Secretary Dian, and now you are able to preside over the country's affairs as a doctor, why did you forget these principles?"

And with Zhou Wangmeng taking control of Luoyi again, tens of thousands of horses from the Jin Kingdom followed.

To say that Lu Hun's Rong is a branch of the Rong family, the surname is Yun, also known as "Yun's Rong".The tribe is extremely warlike, and it was also strong and prosperous more than a hundred years ago.

Because he lives in Luhun now, Zhou people often call him the Rong of Luhun.Since they were surrendered by the Jin State, they have been obeying the Jin State. There are not many of them, but their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

Although Zhou Wangmeng is the king of Zhou, he can't help himself in such a "displacement". As the king of Zhou, he has no authority, so all he has to do is obey Shan Qi's orders and let him go. .

"At the beginning, when the princes were entrusted with the title, they all received the utensils of Mingde from the royal family and used them to appease the country, so they could pay tribute. The royal family and the prestige of the emperor cannot reach the state of Jin, and we have been entangled with the Rong people all the time, so there is not enough time, how can we offer some ritual utensils?"

At this time, Zhou Wangmeng was already sitting upright in the main hall, ready to welcome the distinguished guests from Jin Kingdom.

His brother, Wang Zichao, has always been eyeing his current throne.Therefore, besides obeying Shan Qi, he seems to have no other choice, and he can only be his puppet willingly.

Xun Li's conversation with Ji was stopped by this sound, and when he looked up, it turned out that it was Tai Shi Chang Hong who said this!
At this time, only Chang Hong was pointing at Lu Hufa at the side of the main hall and asked:
"May I ask you two noble envoys, in terms of etiquette, the princes of all parties must respect the king of Zhou, and the envoys should also present ritual vessels when they enter the palace to meet the king of Zhou. I don't know why you are the only one from Jin?"

Shan Qi didn't know what to say, so he winked at Liu Di.

"Jitan, have you forgotten that Tang Shuyu, the first emperor of your Jin Kingdom, and King Cheng are brothers of the same country? That being the case, how can it be said that no rewards were given when they were canonized? The Drum of Mixu and the Battle of the Great Road The chariot was used by King Wen to inspect the army. The armor of Que Gong was the armor worn by King Wu when he conquered the Shang Dynasty. Tang Shuyu accepted these Mingde weapons. Later Jin Wengong accepted the chariot from King Xiang, as well as the axe and axe. There are innumerable fragrant wines brewed from black millet, what are these but rewards?"

At this moment, a person above the main hall came out directly, and pointed at the two of them directly and said:
"Wait two!"

This kind of behavior obviously didn't take the current king of Zhou seriously at all.

The first person of the Jin army to arrive this time was Xun Lihe, one of his subordinates, and Ji Tan.

When Xun Li and Ji Tan entered the hall, even though they were doing the ceremony, it seemed extremely perfunctory.

On this day, Shan Qi and Liu Di immediately went out of the city to greet the Second Minister of the Jin Army when they learned that the Second Minister of the Jin Army had arrived.

But Chang Hong was a little unreasonable, and saw that he still looked indifferent, and stepped forward and said:

Xun Li and Ji Tan looked at each other, but couldn't answer for a moment.Knowing that he was indeed negligent this time, Xun Li was speechless and could only ask the deputy envoy to answer.

I saw that the people of the Jin Kingdom were stationed around Luoyi one after another, and they even brought nearly [-] horses from Lu Hun's army.

Chang Hong's words made both Ji Tan and Xun Bi unable to answer for a while, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

As a civil servant, Ji Tan has some sophistry after all, he thought for a moment, and then replied directly:

In addition, the guards who were stationed in Wangji before, since they call themselves the king's teachers, they naturally only obey Zhou Wangmeng, and Zhou Wangmeng himself is just a puppet, so Shan Qi naturally has a strong influence on this Wangshi. It can also be scheduled directly.

So, what is the hindrance between the so-called "rejecting barbarians" and "respecting the king"?

What Ji talked about was actually looking for something to say.We must know that since the beginning of the alliance between Duke Wen and the land, the Jin State has always followed the example of Duke Huan of Qi, and has maintained the attitude of "respecting the king and fighting the barbarians".

However, he also knew that his throne could only be supported by Shan and Liu.

In order to prevent Wang Zichao and others from really taking advantage of the false attack to take Luoyi, Shan Qi, Liu Di and others took Zhou Wangmeng and returned to Luoyi again.

In the end, it was still Liu Di who said softly at the side:

"The two Shangqings must have come to help in a hurry, and they were very concerned about the royal family, so they forgot the etiquette. In this case, it is better to wait until tomorrow when the ceremony is held, and then make up for the tribute. I wonder what you two think?"

Hearing this, Xun Lihe Jitan was extremely annoyed at Chang Hong, but it was inconvenient to explode on the spot, so he had to bow down and agree.

Note:
Ji Tan's "forgetting the ancestors" should have happened in the period of King Jing of Zhou (that is, before Shanqi killed King Jing), and what Chang Hong said was not from Chang Hong, but King Jing of Zhou directly accused Ji Tan of reconciliation. Xun Li's.

The story of "forgetting the ancestors after counting the classics" here is misappropriation, and I hereby inform you.
