Spring and Autumn I Am King

Wu Xie frowned after listening to Kan Zhi's words. Toli Literature Network

"Has the monarch summoned Confucius?"

He kept Feng Rin as an eyeliner on Lucheng's side, and paid close attention to the every move of the center of the state of Lu. The words that Feng Rin sent back to the people were like this: "The Duke and Confucius speak, do not know that the knee is in front of the seat, and the number of words never tires, forgetting to eat!"

The questioning lasted for several hours, and after Confucius retired, a shocking news also came out of the Lu Palace.

The Marquis of Lu used Confucius to persuade Fei Yi, and appointed him to replace Liu Xiaji, who resigned because he was suspected of being a robber.

"Master Si?"

Kan Zhi said: "It is the Si Shi, who is under the great Zong Uncle, who is in charge of and formulates the sacrificial ceremonies of the state, entertains the princes who come to Chao Ping, and exercises related etiquette."

This position was one of the six officials in the Zongzhou period. It was relatively uncommon. The Si Shi of the Jin State had been merged with the Xiao Zongbo, so Zhao Wuxi had not heard of it in the Jin period, but the old Lu Bang had some reservations. .

It is said that Feng Rin said that at that time, Confucius made three appointments, but the Marquis of Lu refused, and then accepted the post.

"The job of a teacher is exactly what Confucius was good at. The monarch appointed him to do this job. With Confucius' ability, he must be able to make a lot of political achievements..."

In this way, he also jumped from a poor man to the ranks of a doctor! In this process, he had the opportunity to cross several times, "Confucius' strength, the gate of the whole country, but he refused to hear it with his strength", and he refused to accept the fief of Qihou when he entered Qi, and finally took the most difficult path.

After Zhao Wuxi's random entry and the ups and downs in the Central Capital, history turned a corner and quietly turned back. Confucius did not slaughter the Central Capital and become a small Sikong like in history, but became a Si Shi, but he still received the attention of the Marquis of Lu and entered the long-awaited public palace to participate in politics in the capital!

Under Zhao Wuxi's recommendation, among his disciples, Zai Yu was appointed as the deputy chief of Zhongdu Zai. Zilu's general Ren Yang passed Sima, and for a while, Confucius seemed to overshadow Zhao Wuxi's light, and he became a hot upstart in the state of Lu.

Although Zhao Wuxi's forces and Confucius are now in the honeymoon period of cooperation, Confucius is the teacher. No sympathy, but I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. But in any case, after Confucius entered the game, the internal variables of Lu Kingdom increased by one point!

"Snowing!"

At this moment, there were bursts of exclamations outside, let go of these thoughts. Wu Xie walked out of the window and looked at the falling snowflakes in the dark sky, not only him, but also the soldiers guarding the door with spears and halberds, and the officials in black who passed by with bamboo scrolls looked up and watched.

Wu Xie put on the warm winter clothes sent by Ji Ying in autumn, let the snowflakes fall on his shoulders, and muttered in his mouth:

"Lu's New Year is here...I don't know if it's snowing in Jin's lower palace."

...

After the time entered November, it was the beginning of the ninth year of Luhou Song. After more than a month of dazzling tossing, the era of Yanghu's "accompanying ministers and specializing in Lu" came to an end. But what about the new era as the first winter snow falls?

Is it Sanhuan Fuxing?

Is it because the disciples of Confucius spread all over the state of Lu, as he ideally "recovers the rule of Duke Zhou"?

Is it that Onozawa's robbery swept across Lu and defeated the most stubborn rock of Ji Zhou's feudal system?

Or is it possible that Zhao Wuxi of the West can gain more territory and voice in the State of Lu, and even take the final step?

No one knows that the various forces within the Lu Kingdom have begun to hibernate and lick their wounds.

After the return of the Ji family in Feiyi, they tried their best to regain their strength; the Meng family claimed to be the first hero of the Yanghu Rebellion, not to mention the talented people under his command, who were striving for the right to speak and wanted to be on an equal footing with the Ji family; the uncle Sun family was gathering the remnants. The clan soldier, trying every means to keep his throne.

So Sanhuan's forces were once again balanced. It's just that the uncle-sun and the Meng family jointly defended against the Ji family, and the Ji family and the uncle-sun teamed up to resist the pressure of the Meng family.

To the outside world, Robber Zhi seemed to have been beaten and stunned, and could not dormant after escaping back to his old nest. Half of the loot looted by the group of thieves around Onozawa was cheaper than Zhao Wuxi. The controlled population has also lost a lot. Fortunately, they can barely survive on surplus grain and fishing and hunting. The knowledgeable old people in the surrounding cities and towns are worried that when the crops such as winter wheat mature in the summer next year, under the pressure of hunger, these robbers will attack even more frantically!

During the Lucheng Rebellion. Shusunzhi, who was captured by the military pawns, was held in a ceremony at the ancestral temple by Shusun Zhouqiu, announcing that he would be "expelled" from the Shusun clan, and then slaughtered in Lu City. Gongshan Buju and Shusun Yi, who were safe and sound in Feiyi in front of the city chief and the city chief respectively; or Yangyuehe, who was taken back to Linqiu as hostages by Zhao Wuxi in the name of Xiao Sikou. Ji Kuo and Shu Sunzhi were the most miserable Yanghu henchmen.

Although Yang Hu himself went to Guancheng, he has been trying his best to help the Jin people attack Qi in the past few years. He could only curse Zhao Wuxi and Confucius who stepped on his superior position, while relying on the town of a thousand chambers to survive.

...

As for Lu's northern neighbor Qi, he learned about Lu's rebellion more than half a month ago. Qi Hou was extremely excited and called the ministers to discuss it. Xiaqing Chen thinks that Lu will be in chaos and should take the opportunity to attack Lu, even if it violates the rule of "resignation from service" and forcibly recruits Qi people!

Chen Qi vowed to say: "Your Majesty can rest assured that Gao Tang will fully defend against Jin's assistance, and at the same time provide enough food and grain, so that the second minister of the country and Gao can go south to attack Lu, and will be able to overcome it!"

The state of Lu has always been a problem for Qi's elbows and armpits. On the one hand, Qihou Chujiu was very itchy, and on the other hand, he was worried about Chen's intentions, so he could not decide. So he braved the snow and ran to Yan's mansion to visit Yan Ying, who was in bed for a long time, and at the same time wanted to ask for his opinion.

After the greetings and greetings, Qi Hou knelt on the side of Yan Zi's couch, and his first sentence was: "What is Lu Keji?"

Yan Zi is nearly eighty years old, and he is already very old. He has lost the spirit of being able to accompany Qi Hou on the road to bed. come together. The copper stove was burning hot bamboo charcoal, and Yan Ying was holding the hand stove in her arms, wrapped in a thick quilt and still trembling—it was said that the Yan clan had already made preparations for the funeral.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Qi Hou, who also had gray beards, and said slowly: "One hundred and fifty years ago, during the Qingfu Rebellion, Duke Huan asked the same question from the passers-by who went to Lu on an envoy. Do you know what the pedestrian said?"

"Appreciate further details."

"The passerby said: No, the state of Lu still respects the rituals of Zhou. Although the rituals of Zhou are not applicable to the state of Qi, they are the foundation of the state of Lu. When the state is about to die, it is like the death of a tree. The trunk falls first, and then the branches and leaves follow. The place is down. The State of Lu has not abandoned Zhou Li, it is still there, and it cannot be moved... Your Majesty, what that pedestrian said back then was also what the old minister wanted to say."

After hearing this, Qi Hou couldn't stop sighing: "The state of Lu still has Zhou etiquette? I am afraid that more than ten years ago, when Duke Zhao of Lu came to join me in the state of Qi, it was no longer retained? The wealth is heavy and the people are poor, and they have defected to the pirates. Now that the city of Lu is in chaos, Yanghu and Sanhuan are fighting each other, this opportunity is rare in a century, how can you let it go?"

Yan Zi said: "That's right, if Yang Hu will not go, Lu will be in trouble, but the old minister has heard that with the intervention of Wu Xie, the son of Zhao Qing of the Jin State, and Kong Qiu, the leader of Zhongdu, the civil strife has been settled, and only one Yang Hu remains. Secession of Guancheng."

"But Mrs. Chen believes that in the dispute between the three kingdoms of Lu, Yanghu is at the border and can respond internally, while Zhao Wuxi is unpredictable, and the robbery has not completely subsided, so the fighters still exist."

When Yan Ying heard Chen's words, she sneered and shook her head.

"Although the senior officials of the Lu State are in chaos, the scholars and the people of the country should not be humiliated. If the prince and the prince attacked by force, I am afraid they would fall into trouble. For example, the senior officials of Confucius once prevented the emperor from using them. Because the so-called Fu Zhou ritual does not conform to the conditions of the state of Qi. If he is employed by the Marquis of Lu, although it is impossible to enrich the country and strengthen the army, he may be able to revitalize the current situation and revive the etiquette, so that the state of Lu can strengthen the monarchy and gain more power. **For a while..."

He reluctantly bowed on the couch and said, "The old minister's life is not long, there is only one sentence that I hope your Majesty will listen to!"

Qi Hou quickly supported him and said, "Doctor Yan, please speak."

"Your Majesty is determined to restore Duke Huan of Qi's hegemony, which is understandable, but just like the situation that Duke Huan faced back then, you should work on stabilizing the misfortunes of the surrounding small countries and take the opportunity to bring them closer, so that you can become an ally and remove the wings of Jin. Close to the ceremonial states such as Lu and Song, to support the remaining states such as Wei and Beiyan, to divide the internal states such as Jin, to destroy the dark and turbulent states such as Ju, this is the weapon of the overlord! "

This was Yan Zi's strategic plan for the state of Qi, and the Marquis of Qi agreed to it. Then, just like before Guan Yiwu's death, Duke Huan of Qi asked about his successor. He also asked if Yan Ying was not there, who could assist the state of Qi?

Yan Zi can be said to be a man who is about to die, and his words are also good. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The state of Qi now has four ministers. Although Bao Zi (Bao Guo) is older than his ministers, his body is tough. His words It is the old man's words to seek the country, and the emperor must listen to it; Guozi (Guoxia) is young, but he is good at military affairs, so he can make him outside; Unparalleled talent, and not decisive enough, but not prudent, can be used to preside over internal affairs."

Sanqing was ready, Qi Hou nodded, but asked such a question.

"Where's Mr. Chen?"

Hearing this, Yan Ying suddenly broke out with a violent cough~www.readwn.com~ After a while, she calmed down, staring at the monarch with her dim old eyes, and said, "Only...only Chen Shi, If your Majesty does not want the state of Qi with the surname Jiang to become the state of Qi with the surname of Gui, you must not rule it, and be careful!"

...

Also at the beginning of November, the expelled son Zhao Wuxi was in the state of Lu to pacify the rebellion against the tigers in Yangyang, and he was pacified by the robbery. He was named a doctor in Yuncheng by the Marquis of Lu, and the news that he was Xiao Sikou also spread back to the state of Jin.

Although it is not enough to shock the whole country, but the 16-year-old expelled Qingzi should have lost everything and lived on it. But Zhao Wuxi was alone, but he dared to go to a foreign country to start his own business, but to achieve such an achievement in one year is enough to shock everyone who knew him!
