Spring and Autumn I Am King

Shi Mo belonged to the clan of the Cai State, and took the country as his clan. Cai was a small country with the surname Ji in the south, and had been a vassal of the Chu State for a long time.

Thirty years ago, after King Ling of Chu, a wonderful and wonderful monarch who was very happy with his achievements, came to power, when his head became hot, he trapped the Marquis Cai, wiped out the state of Cai, and razed it to a large county. Cai Gong's clan was either killed or fled. Shi Mo was at that time holding Cai's "Spring and Autumn" and ran to Jin, and later became the monarch's Taishi.

He is good at astronomy and astrology, the number of the five elements and the zodiac, and he is familiar with the internal affairs of the various princes.

In the tenth year of King Jing of Zhou, that is, seven years ago, Duke Zhao of Lu was driven out of the state of Lu by Ji Pingzi, the leader of the Three Huan, and died in exile as the Marquis of Gan.

This incident had a huge impact on Zhuxia International, and his father, Zhao Yang, who was eager to learn, felt moved and consulted Shi Mo on the matter: "The Ji family expelled the Marquis of Lu, but the people turned to him, and the princes supported him. The monarch died outside, but no one blamed him, why is this?"

Shi Mo’s answer was very long, but what impressed Zhao Yang the most was this sentence: “The Poetry says: The high shore is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum. That's why! Therefore, only weapons and names can't be fake!"

This remark is still deafening to Zhao Wuxi's later generations, and it can also be used as the theoretical basis for Liu Qing's replacement of Jin Hou.

What's even more bizarre is that in that year, Shi Mo had predicted: Within forty years, the state of Wu will be destroyed!

At that time, the state of Wu rose from the south just like the rising sun. A few years later, it broke the capital of Chu state, Ying, and won half of Jianghuai. Wu Wang Helu was the hero of the generation, and there were Wu Zixu and Bo Xi (pi). Wu has a husband, Sun Wu. Their national power can be described as cooking oil on fire. Therefore, the ministers of the Jin state did not take Shi Mo's prophecy seriously.

But only Zhao Wuxi knew. What he predicted was right! The stories and the protagonists of Wu Xing's more protagonist, he remembers clearly, isn't it something that happened more than 30 years later!

That's why he was curious about the little old man Shi Mo.

Soon, though, he could no longer desert.

The ceremony continued, and then, the Marquis of Jin, dressed in court clothes, took his seat outside the temple gate to the east, facing south. Taizhu, Shaozhu, Yazhu and others face west. Small prison specifications for sacrificing Mars. Scholar Wei Ju killed one sheep and one sheep, and Zhao Wuxi, as the helper, was responsible for helping to place the sacrificial animals according to the procedure just practiced, with his head facing north and east as the top.

Taizhu Zhao ordered the sacrifices to be prepared, and let the Yong people in charge of cutting and cooking clean the sacrificial cauldron, and set up the dagger and the dagger beside the stove for cooking fish and meat. The stove for cooking fish and meat was southeast of the temple gate. North is up.

After these ceremonies were completed, the court dress of the Marquis of Jin entered the Ming Hall and had to stay there all night. The task of Zhao Wuxi and Bank of China Heihum was to ignite a fire outside. Set the Mao, set up the watch, and be responsible for keeping the fire. Guaranteed to stay alive all night.

It was dark, and night had come. Zhao Wuxi looked at the southern sky and found that the dark red Mars was already very bright. From late July to mid-September. It will gradually move westward and fall, until it falls on the western horizon, hidden in the clouds and mists, hidden by the mountains and invisible to people.

This process is called "Fire in July" and "Inner Fire in September". The sacrifice in September is actually the Double Ninth Festival in later generations. By then, the spring millet has already entered the warehouse, and the summer millet is also expected to have a bumper harvest.

Night vigil is not an easy job, not to mention that there are no companions around, only a wolf-like cunning enemy, the middle-level black humerus. Now, next to the fire on the bronze frame of the wooden pillar, and under the wooden spear looking at the table, only the crackling sound of the fire burning firewood and charcoal can be heard, and the atmosphere is silent and mysterious.

After a while, it was Bank of China Heixi who spoke first, as if to dispel the coldness of the night, and he started talking to himself.

The light of fire reflected in the eyes of Zhongxing Heixiu, he said: "Emperor Zhuanxu has a son named Chongli, Chongli is the fire officer of the Gaoxin clan, and he worships the fire every year, showing the light of heaven and earth, and his merit is great, so the emperor ordered It is called 'Zhu Rong'. After Huo Zheng Zhu Rong, he is a Chu person in the southern country."

Zhao Wuxi stared coldly at Bank of China Heigong through the flames, without saying a word.

"In the past, Zhou Chengwang allied the princes in Qiyang, and Chu people Xiong Yi was regarded as a Jingman. How similar is their situation? I don’t know what the two Yidi rulers said on that day?”

"I know that Zhao Zi's ambition is great. Today's six ministers are like the princes of the early Zhou Dynasty. I don't know, who can do things like Chu's in the future?"

The Zhao clan killed Duke Ling of Jin, and the Zhongxing clan also killed Duke Li of Jin, and they are still doing well today, and they are becoming more and more prosperous. Therefore, the children of the two families looked at the Marquis of Jin with more disdain than other ministers.

What's more, looking at the Jin state, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the various ministers is actually the strongest of the soldiers of the Zhongxing clan who have been pioneering the Rong and Di all the year round! Therefore, the Bank of China's black arm has the capital to be proud and hopeful.

Their ancestor, Muzi, who was in the middle of the line, was originally the most skilled warrior in Jin, and even the mighty King Ling of Chu was afraid of three points. The Wei clan's heavy **** phalanx, as well as the Zhongxing clan, also attached many newly conquered soldiers of the Rong and Di, and were good at fighting in the mountains. The Zhongshan Kingdom in later generations, now known as Xianyu, was also under pressure and succumbed to Zhong Xingyin, sometimes at his disposal.

Fortunately, Muzi of the Bank of China died more than ten years ago, and he was not able to be in power. Otherwise, the Bank of China today would only be more terrifying!

But Wu Xie smiled coldly at the words of the Bank of China's black brawler.

Now, the Zhao clan and the Zhongxing clan are already inextricable enemies. The two families compete for the power of the Shangjun, the competition in the bull-horse market, and the competition with the Handan clan. They are enemies everywhere. .

So he replied: "Zhong Xingzi's ambition is also great, but why should he compare himself with the barbarian, Rong and Di lords? Could it be that in the future, the Zhongxing clan will be the state of Chu and can ask the Jin Ding's importance? In my opinion, you and others are also It may be Xianyu Baidi, who was expelled from Hexi to Dayuan by the Qin people, and then driven to Zhongshan by Muzi and Wei Xianzi of the Bank of China, where the wolf ran to the dolphin. At that time, you may be able to learn from the Chu people. Longlu Lanluo has opened up the mountains and forests!"

"You!" The Bank of China's black arm was robbed by a pass, but because of the need for silence, he couldn't speak loudly.

So the two of them turned their faces away, and they had nothing to say tonight, so they waited until dawn. When the Marquis of Jin walked out of the Mingtang in a daze, only Zhao Wuxi and Bank of China's black hair and eyebrows were covered with a thin layer of frost...

…

Chengxiang, when it was dawn, Zigong heaved a sigh of relief at the sudden thick fog outside.

He shouted for his subordinates to get up from the couch, packed the goods, and escorted the ox cart out of the Chengxiang wall under the **** of Yu Xi and other light knights.

Zigong looked at Xinjiang's direction. At this moment, Zhao Wuxi was already in the Xiqi Palace, playing a political game with the monarch and the children of Liuqing, and the war that belonged to him Duanmuci was about to begin! (To be continued..)
