Spring and Autumn I Am King

The Tong Palace is deep and deep, and the fallen leaves of the plane trees were swept together by the vertical and concubines, ready to be buried in the pit beside the tree, and turned into spring mud in the coming year. 【Full text read..】

Autumn chrysanthemums are blooming in the garden, father and daughter are walking in the middle, the well-behaved daughter in purple is holding Dai Xuanduan's father by the arm, the atmosphere is peaceful and warm. But the palace armor and Fu Mu who followed closely behind, their vigilant eyes and solemn expressions indicated that everything was not so simple.

Song Gongluan was like a stroll after dinner, talking about the ominous past a thousand years ago.

"People in the world have heard that Yi Yin made his prime minister a great deal, and there is no resentment. Many scholars and officials praised his great benevolence and great sage. In fact, only the descendants of Cheng Tang know that Yi Aheng is not a virtuous prime minister, but a usurper. The traitor, Taijia did not regret it for three years, but after being imprisoned for seven years, he sneaked out of the Tong Palace, assassinated Yi Yin and resettled!"

Nanzi was slightly shaken, but he thought in his heart, what does this have to do with the current situation, and what does it have to do with me?

But she still responded with a smile, and asked a question obediently: "If that's the case, why did the Dayi Shang after the Emperor Taijia sacrifice Yi Yin for generations, and their specifications are even the same as those of the previous kings?"

"Emperor Taijia has been honing the jade for seven years before he can kill the careless Yi Aheng in one fell swoop. At that time, the ministers were terrified, but the power of the Yi clan was already strong, and although Taijia could be restored, he could not exterminate his clan. You can only treat him kindly. Besides, Yi Yin’s life should be divided into two halves. In the first half, he assisted Tang Tang, and his great achievements were indelible, so he was able to be sacrificed. We, the heirs of Tang Tang, have always had clear grievances.”

Is the grudge clear? Nan Zi nodded, but he was thinking about other things. What was the inside story of this civil strife? How did it seem that the entire Song Palace was still under the control of his father?

Song Gong smiled and said: "Nanzi, are you thinking that the prisoner of Tong Gong a thousand years ago has nothing to do with the present?"

Indeed not, Nanzi bowed his head. Is this the fault of the father? Still using Yi Yin and Taijia to predict something.

"Gu instructed the people to put a chess table in your room, because Gu remembered that you liked this kind of game made by Zhao Shiqingzi, but you can calm down and take a good look at it."

Nanzi remembered that the chessboard had been shattered by her long ago. The chess pieces are scattered all over the place.

Her tears came as soon as she said it, and her appearance was pitiful: "I need two people to play chess, and my daughter has no company. Who can I play with? I hope my father will never send me back."

Song Gong turned a blind eye: "Of course it's with you."

Nan Zi stopped tears: "Myself?"

"Of course, many times. Before playing chess or gambling, it's best to study it first, how much you know about the game. You are very smart, but you don't think about long-term things. This is why the previous design of Le Daxin failed. The reason, if it wasn't for Gong Jia to bring you back, it would have been scattered in the chaos, and the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Nan Zi's whole body froze, and tears poured out again: "Daughter... Convicted."

"Sin? What's the sin?" Song Gong disagreed: "The person standing on the side of the chessboard can't help but want to move the pieces, and always feels that he can move better than the person who plays chess. You are alone. Daughter, you have the talent in this area, but unfortunately you can beat your four uncles, but you are not the opponent of Uncle Xiao Daxin."

He sighed: "Don't say it's you, even if you are alone and have been a monarch for seventeen years, you can't drive him out of the position of the right division by yourself, not to mention the four unsatisfactory younger brothers."

...

A stroll in the Tong Palace reminded Song Gongluan of an incident twenty years ago:

Song Dynasty for many years. Fahrenheit and Xiang are powerful and control the state. After his father Song Yuangong came to power, he was very afraid of these two clans, and the contradiction between the two sides gradually intensified. As the monarch's position stabilized and his strength increased, the Huaxiang clan sensed the danger and decided to preempt them. So they staged a coup d'etat, and Luan, who was the prince of the Song state at the time, and his mother-in-law, Gongzichen and Gongzidi, were held hostage and imprisoned in Fahrenheit. Tasted like a prisoner.

"During the time they were imprisoned, the two younger brothers were very good to Lonely. When Fahrenheit threatened the widow with a sword, he kept the widow behind him. When he had food, he first let the widow eat his fill. They made an oath to share wealth and honor, and after a hundred years of isolation, they should follow the old system of Yin and Shang, and let them ascend to the throne one after another."

He looked at Nanzi helplessly: "Maybe someone cursed him. It's been almost twenty years since he ascended the throne, and he is over half a hundred years old, but he still has no children, only a few daughters. When your mother was pregnant, the widow thought she could I got a prince, but it turned out not to be, so I could only choose one of my younger brothers or nephews to inherit the throne."

Nanzi replied obediently: "Father is disappointed."

Song Gong continued: "Yes, Gu is completely disappointed, but this is also destined. Although Widow made an oath in the past, several younger brothers were unbearable, so Gu hesitated. They thought that I had repented and took the initiative. In collusion with the right teacher, I want to quickly decide the ownership of the prince..."

During the Huaxiang Rebellion, Le Daxin made outstanding achievements and his position continued to rise. Song Yuangong died a few years later, but Le Daxin helped to straighten Prince Luan. So he became the ruling right division and began to cultivate his party members in the country.

"When Cheng Tang was alive, Yi Yin probably didn't have any dissent. However, the suspicion of the master and the country is fertile ground for the breeding of powerful ministers. Once they are in power, they will have a heart of disobedience. If the master is incompetent, he will be like Taijia. Losing the country, Yi Yin is like this, Hua and Xiang are also the same, and Le Daxin is the same. This is why my father wants to tell you about the past of Tong Gong."

Nanzi suddenly felt that his father was unfathomable.

And Song Gongluan is not an ordinary person, and he can't do it for a while. He can only indulge them like Zheng Zhuanggong indulges his uncle Duan, and support his cronies to balance the confrontation. The person chosen by Duke Song was originally Le Qi, who was loyal to the country. After Le Qi died, he could only rely on Xiang Chao's remnants, the brothers Xiang Chao and Xiang Mo. This was the reason for the formation of the political power of Song before the civil strife.

"But the Xiang brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps. Their brothers have not taken power in the country, and they already have the heart to be disobedient. One family and two ministers are not enough. To think about one family and five ministers is even more excessive than Le Daxin! I wanted to have an extra dog to guard the home, but I ended up raising a wolf who couldn't get enough to feed."

Song Gongluan rarely tells the truth to Nanzi, but today he confessed many things frankly: "Since neither side is not enough to rely on, when you instigated Gu to give the horse that the son gave to Xiang, Gu Ming knew this. It would cause conflicts between them, but they agreed. Do you know why?"

"Father wants them to fight against each other and lose both sides... By taking advantage of Xiang's to defeat Le Daxin and the Fourth Young Master, Song State will be able to return to the monarch."

Song Gong pointed to the dead leaves scattered on the ground and said: "Of course, do you know the autumn forest? It often catches fire due to the accumulation of too many fallen leaves. Therefore, the Yuren sometimes set a fire to ignite the forest and dig out the forest. Fire-proof ravines can burn up dead leaves and prevent them from happening in the first place. It is also necessary to govern a country. It is better to keep small fires in the state than to accumulate over time. It will cause a three-year catastrophe like the Huaxiang Rebellion. "

Nanzi now fully understands: "I think I'm clever, thinking that C is playing Xiangshi, Leshi to fight Le Daxin and the fourth son, who would have guessed that I was just a flint that ignited fire from beginning to end... chessboard The real chess player is you, Father!?”

She was used again, and she felt sad and inexplicable. She should have knelt down and praised him for his wiseness and martial arts... But for some reason, she couldn't do it as planned.

Song Gong's indifferent words stabbed her. It would be great if father and daughter conspired. But she was treated as a pure victim. She didn't want to be rude to him, but some words had already blurted out.

"But this fire has burned the entire Song Kingdom, and even burned into the palace. Even you were coerced by Le Daxin. Can you control this situation, Father?"

...

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Nanzi regretted it, and she suddenly realized that she had shouted the truth.

Sure enough, Song Gongluan, who was poked at the sore spot, looked at her coldly, and the originally generous and gentle palm became rough and cold. It hurt Nanzi's little hand.

"Who do you think is to blame?"

That's right, Song Gong initially planned to use Nanzi to stimulate the confrontation between the two major clans and sons of Song, so that he could arbitrate and use one to defeat the other. Then take back the power.

But this process may be a few years, or even ten or twenty years, but Nanzi's seductive dose of fire has made the fire that could have been controllable jump too vigorously. Le Daxin was stimulated, the coup d'état was suddenly launched, and the Song Kingdom was torn apart at once. Duke Song is not yet fully prepared, what he can control now is only within the palace wall! The king of a country can only protect himself, and then play some tricks.

"Father, you hurt Nanzi!" Nanzi wanted to break free from Duke Song's hand, but was unable to escape.

Song Gong took off his mask and shoved the disobedient daughter into the chrysanthemum without pity. He pointed at her angrily and said, "It's all your fault for inciting it! Fortunately, the widow handled it in time, otherwise even the palace would be in the palace. It can't be preserved either. Le Daxin and Gu's four younger brothers focus on fighting against Sicheng Le and Xiang, but they don't realize that the real opponent at the chess table is Gu..."

He gave birth to her, raised her, and let her eat beautifully, so that she could make money for Song and herself, but look at what she has done? Since I hit adulthood, I will cause trouble and cause trouble!

But with Song Gongluan's conceit, he would not admit that he had lost control of the situation.

He pointed to the soldiers patrolling on the outer wall of the Tong Palace and said: "Some of the soldiers of the public family have fallen to the party, but most of them are still loyal to the widowers, especially the Jiashi in Pengcheng. The emperors in the Liuqing are also loyal to the widowers. , under Gu's advice, to remain neutral and firmly guard the palace city. Gu pretended to grant Le Daxin an edict, and they were not good to forcibly besiege the palace, so they could only maintain the status quo. Gongzidi thought he could become a prince, but Gu deliberately put Gongsun in guilt. Sent to Daicheng, the chaotic ministers and thieves feel that they each have their own masters, and of course they cannot reconcile, they can only form a group and decide the winner and loser!"

Nanzi now feels that his father is deceiving himself a bit. He is now like a lonely commander who was broken into the ninth palace by the enemy, and the situation is precarious. Do you really think that the situation in Song is still under his control? Pengcheng's armored soldiers can't quench their thirst from far away. Is the Huang family really so loyal, and the Chinese people really so reliable?

Out of her revenge for being a victim, she did not hesitate to reveal the truth.

"The current situation is not much better than the Huaxiang Rebellion. Before I was imprisoned in Tong Palace, I heard that the Le Clan, Xiang Clan, and Uncle Xiao were all asking for help from abroad. If the surrounding princes are also involved, Father, it is easy to send a treat. How do you plan to end this chaos?"

Song Gong was full of confidence: "As long as Qi, Chu, Wu, and Jin don't participate, the rest can be gifted with silk coins. If they don't know how to lift them up, they will call on the Chinese to expel them. In the past month, Uncle Xiao has a big heart with Zheng. , Wei's reinforcements, while the Sicheng Le clan and the Xiang clan coerced Song's vassal Xue Guo, and also received support from Cao Guo and Zhao Wuxi..."

"Zhao Zitai is here too!?" Nan Zi, who was lying in the flowers, was excited for a while. Did his request to him help? Or, he came to rescue Le Lingzi and the Sicheng Le clan? For some reason, a hopeless future suddenly lit up.

Song Gong didn't care: "What if you come? The troops on both sides, Uncle Xiao was greatly supported by Zheng and Wei, but Xiang's troops have not yet fully arrived. Their number is more than twice that of Le and Zhao! The widow got the news. , Tomorrow, the two conveniences will fight against Meng Zhu!"

...

In the late autumn season, the grass in Song Dynasty is already withered and yellow, the leaves are falling, and the stingers have all burrowed into the dx, and they have sealed the d mouth with soil, preparing to enter the autumn and winter sleep.

Fifty li to the northeast of Shangqiu, there is a water pool more than ten li in diameter, called Mengzhu.

At that time, people counted the lakes and lakes all over the world, and some said: "Lu has Daye, Jin has Continent, Qin has Yang Hao, Song has Meng Zhu, Chu has Yunmeng, Wu-Yue has Judi, Qi has Haiyu, Yan has Zhaoyuqi , Zheng has a garden, and Zhou has ten servals."

And Zhao Wuxi was wearing armor, standing on the bank of the dry reeds of the lake, watching the geese fly south, he couldn't help sighing, and exhaled white air from his mouth.

"Nanzi, Nanzi, where are you?"

It was already Jiqiu and September. At dawn, Liu Xing was in the middle of the southern sky, and Nanzi had been missing for more than a month.

Le Lingzi felt that it was her mistake that had harmed Nanzi, and she was depressed all day, and Zhao Wuxi could not comfort her, because the civil unrest in Song country intensified. The harvesting of autumn crops often led to small-scale battles, which quickly turned into battles.

During this period, the cavalry, who had rested for half a month, showed their great power, and the number of them was supplemented to make up a full brigade. With the stirrups, their combat ability was even more outstanding. In battles with less than 1,000 people, as long as cavalrymen participated, the Le and Zhao parties were basically able to fight. Victory is undefeated, and the number of Song Guo rebels is constantly being reduced.

Le Daxin and the Fourth Young Master were very worried. Every day, defeated soldiers retreated into Shangqiu. This was extremely unfavorable for them to control Duke Song and integrate the various domestic masters. They were also disadvantaged in grain harvesting, so they urgently needed a quick solution.

Fortunately, at this time, under the prayer of Le Daxin's willingness to cede the land, Zheng Guo, who was entrusted by the Qi people, sent troops to join. Le Daxin also promised to marry the daughter of Song State to Marquis Wei immediately after the war, and also to bring a lady of the Le family who was good at medicine as a concubine, so Marquis Wei also asked the son-in-law, who had asked Ying, to lead troops to help out.

After receiving foreign aid, Le Daxin and the Fourth Young Master's party began to launch a counter-offensive, defeating the Le clan in Sicheng who went to the vicinity of Shangqiu to grab autumn grain, and took advantage of the situation to seize Mengyi, then marched eastward, defeated Xiang once, and seized two cities. Xiang Shi had to shrink.

In short ~www.readwn.com~ the probing period of civil strife is slowly coming to an end, and the two major forces of the Song Kingdom are getting closer and closer to a decisive battle again.

Since then, there has been this encounter and collision on the borders of Meng.

At this moment, hurried horses' hooves came galloping on the water on the shore of the lake. It was Yu Xi, the brigade commander of the cavalry, who brought back news of the enemy.

"Si Kou! It has been investigated clearly. Judging from the banners, the Zheng army has 5,000, the guard army has 3,000, and the Song Dynasty rebels also have 5,000 people. They have already set up their camp and are going to form an array here! "

Zhao Wuxi nodded, it seemed that this decisive battle was inevitable. He calculated the account in his heart: there are 2,000 Zhao soldiers here, 3,000 left in the Le clan, 2,000 in the Cao army, and Sima Ziniu with a thousand soldiers from the Xiang clan to help out, a total of 8,000...

This means that Zhao Wuxi will face a total of 13,000 enemy troops, and this time the new enemy, Zheng Guo, it is they who easily defeated the Le and Xiang Clan the first two times, but it is not easy to deal with!
