A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 103 Matching the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms

In the middle of the night, Chu Hou Xiong Jian suddenly woke up from his dream.In the dream, he saw Xiong Qi's eyes staring at him again.

The awakened Xiong Jian wiped his sweat, and was even more angry when he thought of Xiong Yun's escape.

In addition to his own reasons for Xiong Yun's escape, Huai country's spies also contributed to it.After Xiong Jian launched the coup, Huaiguo's spies told Xiong Yun the news, and then Xiong Yun fled without hesitation.

Assisting Xiong Yun to escape is also one of the plans of Huai State, the purpose is to keep the civil strife in Chu continuing.But now Xiong Yun is still young.After another three to five years, when he grows up, he can try it.And now, the Marquis of Chu, Xiong Jian, would not be a peaceful man in terms of his disposition, and the state of Chu would definitely not be able to calm down in the past few years.

The last one to enjoy this kind of treatment was Qi State.

Since the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the Duke of Qi experienced a lot of fighting, and Prince Zhao succeeded to the throne. However, Prince Zhao was not a wise monarch. He died of illness after only ten years in office.His son She came to the throne, but he was too young to take on the big responsibility.

And Duke Huan's other son, son Pan, had been eyeing him for a long time. Before the others could react, he killed She and made himself king.

And this son Pan is not a kind person. After he killed his nephew, he gave his brother a beautiful posthumous posthumous title.Said: filial piety.

You must know that his elder brother was trying to fight for the position of Marquis of Qi, but he ignored the armor and attacked each other when he buried his body. Afterwards, he failed to escape. Duke Huan’s body was left for 67 days and it was all rotten. He actually gave his elder brother the posthumous title of filial piety. .

At this time, the posthumous titles are not given casually, but have a strict system. It is not easy to get the posthumous title of "filial piety". The five sects call it filial piety; There are 26 conditions: ;

Of course, as long as one or two can be achieved, the posthumous title of "filial piety" is also possible.But the key point is that this Qi Houzhao didn't do any of them, and he even did the thing of burying the corpse and ignoring the armor. You give him "filial piety", are you praising him for "filial piety"?This is to say that he is a "filial piety".

This is really a big filial son.

After this series of turmoil, Qi State's national strength has declined rapidly, and it has fallen from a first-rate power to a second-rate one. Of course, its foundation is still good.

As long as the monarch works hard to govern, he will be promoted again soon, but Qi's operation has caused internal chaos in the public office to become a common practice.Qi State's succession system should be changed to Wu Palace Succession Law.
There is also the state of Chu that has the same future troubles. The princes of Chu have not ascended the throne normally for several generations. What do you let the princes of the state of Chu think?Nagisa inheritance law?
The civil strife in Chu State and Qi State is what Huai State wants to see. These two countries are also the biggest threat to Huai State. As for Jin State, it is still far away.

After the Huai River floods were dealt with, the Huai State was increasingly full of food, and the Zhong State was also affected by the Huai River floods in the upper reaches of the Huai River.After Wang Zhong heard that Huai State relied on Sun Shuao to control the water and achieved great success, he sent an envoy to ask Sun Shuao to help Zhong State control the water.

Zhongguo is located in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, and if the upper reaches of the Huaihe River continues to flood, it will also affect Huaiguo.Wang Yong invited Sun Shuao to ask, "Marquis Zhong wants to invite Qing to manage the upper reaches of the Huai River. I wonder if Qing is willing? If Qing is not willing, I will refuse."

"My lord, Zhongguo and Huaiguo are countries of brothers. Zhongguo is also a vassal state of Huaiguo, and it is the key for Huaiguo to fight against Chu. It cannot be dealt with casually." Sun Shuao said solemnly.

"Besides, Zhongguo is located in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. The upper reaches are unstable, but the lower reaches can be safe? Please go to Zhongguo to control the water!"

Wang Yong got up and said, "Qing's great achievement is second only to King Yu! You should set up a temple to sacrifice!"

"The minister is only a trivial achievement, and dare not compare with King Yu!"

Wang Yong sent [-] elites and dozens of academy students to follow Sun Shuao to Zhongguo. Zhonghou Wang Zhong led the ministers and ministers ten li to meet him, and appointed Sun Shuao as the prime minister of Zhongguo. Sun Shuao directly served as the prime minister of the two countries.

Next, Wang Zhong ordered to transfer 5 people from the middle school to Sun Shuao to control the water. When Cai Guo heard that Wang Zhong had invited Sun Shuao to control the water, he hurried over and asked Sun Shuao for advice. After some conversation, Cai Hou was also convinced by him , Immediately announced that Cai Guo also joined the flood control, and also asked Sun Shuao to be the prime minister.

On the other side, Huang Guo and Jiang Guo are also often suffering from the invasion of the Huai River, and they also personally invited them to ask to join, and expressed their willingness to appoint Sun Shuao as the prime minister.In the end, Sun Shuao was the prime minister of the Five Kingdoms alone.

Zhong, Cai, Huang, and Jiang discussed together, and each dispatched [-] people to Sun Shuao to command. At the same time, the four countries prepared food and grass, and obeyed Sun Shuao's dispatch.

After being appointed as the Prime Minister of the Four Kingdoms, Sun Shuao gained great power.Next, Sun Shuao led 20 people from the four countries to start water control.This time, because of the experience of flood control in the Huai country, he has more experience in managing the floods in the Zhong, Cai, Jiang, and Huang countries.

Because of the mountains in the upper reaches of the Huai River, the waterways are narrow, and there are many tidal flats and rocks. After some surveys, Sun Shuao began to dredge the river and build ditches and reservoirs.

With the help of many academy students, the governance speed of the upper reaches of Huai River is much faster than that of Huai Country.In the early days, flood control in the Huai country often required a lot of calculations, and many people learned from scratch.

Now that the upper reaches of the Huaihe River are governed, many things can be calculated easily. Under Sun Shu'ao's command, 20 people dug ditches, dug river channels, and built artificial lakes in lower areas. After three years, the upper reaches of the Huai River were finally treated.

And in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, an irrigation system covering the four countries of Zhong, Cai, Jiang and Huang was built, called Anfengtang, also called Shaopi.

The entire Anfengtang irrigation system will not only connect the Huaihe River, but also introduce the tributaries of the Huaihe River into it.The water source is gathered into a lake, which can be used to irrigate the farmland of Shikoku, and when the flood comes, it can store water and release the flood, and it can be used to irrigate the farmland during the drought.

Hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land in Shikoku benefited from this.The four countries that were originally ravaged by the Huaihe River no longer have to worry.Also because of this, the four countries Zhong, Cai, Huang, and Jiang have also become staunch allies of Huai State, and have the capital to compete with Chu State.

Anfengtang is another outstanding masterpiece of water conservancy engineering by Sun Shuao, and it is also one of the most ancient and grand water conservancy projects in the world today.It makes full use of the topography and water veins of the surrounding mountains and valleys, and makes good use of the situation, so that it has the functions of water storage, irrigation, flood control, sand discharge, and flow control, and Qianli Zeguo has been transformed into fertile land.

Sun Shuao's proposition has been realized, "Propagating the rivers and valleys, blocking the source springs, irrigating fertile marshes, embanking lakes and puddles as ponds, adoring the love of heaven and earth, harvesting the benefits of nine marshes, enriching the country with Yin, and making families happy." '

Its appearance can be said to have changed the trend of history to a certain extent, so that the four Huai River countries will no longer be attacked by floods, and the flooded area has become a fertile field.Since then, the population of the Huai River Four Kingdoms has increased greatly, and food and grass have been abundant, which has given the Huai River Four Kingdoms the ability to compete with Chu, and provided an important force for Huai to destroy Chu.

Anfengtang is the third batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country, and was included in the world cultural heritage, world natural heritage, and world irrigation engineering heritage in 2005. ——"100 Celebrities Who Affected the Process of Human History·Sun Shuao"
