Spring and Autumn I Am King

PS: The last chapter should be chapter 540. I will continue to write it at night. I will post as much as I write. It will only be available in the early morning. If you go to bed early, you don’t have to wait.

The weather is getting colder, the frost in the morning is getting heavier and heavier, and the reappearance of Nanzi makes Zhao Wuxi, who has been suffering from the trouble of filing papers and documents, just feel bright.

Her forehead was a little dark red, and the corners of her lips were the iconic charming smile. She wore a witch's robe, rough kudzu cloth, red and white, with a silk belt tied around the waist of a bee, and a bracelet woven from fragrant grass on her hands. , exuding a faint fragrance, and perhaps wearing a lot of psychic accessories, just sitting in Zhao Wuxi's arms...

In the eyes of others, she is a dutiful daughter and a holy witch's choice, but in front of Zhao Wuxi, Nanzi has a different side.

Feeling the slight weight in his arms, he could feel the smooth skin underneath through the thin clothes. Zhao Wuxi, who called himself Liuxiahui in front of the Xiang brothers, couldn't hold it back. He licked his lips. The feeling of a witch.

He lightly patted her hip line and said, "What did the witch teach you these past few days?"

Nanzi deliberately twisted his waist and giggled: "The great witch is forced to have the handle in my hands, so I can only teach it..."

She had officially become a member of the witch a few days ago. She followed the witch to learn how to serve ghosts and gods, and read those strange... oracle bone inscriptions?

Well, as a remnant of the Yin and Shang Dynasty, Wu Zhu of the Song Dynasty was the last master of this type of writing. When the Song Dynasty was wiped out in two hundred years, this type of writing would be lost in the long river of time.

As a strange woman, Nanzi is no easier to understand than Oracle, although she looks so beautiful and so different. As for the various dreams that Nan Zi encountered at the ceremony that day, Zhao Wuqi remained silent after listening to it, and thought disapprovingly in his heart: "Isn't it just taking drugs and high..."

He knew that the profession of witchcraft was on the edge of supernatural phenomena, worshipping faith, fanaticism, and requiring a high degree of spiritual excitement, so another important use of psychotropic drugs in ancient times was a tool for religious activities. Some wizards claim to be able to communicate with "gods" while in a coma, which requires the help of hallucinogens. When tribal wizards discovered that eating some plant leaves could lead to a trance state. The history of human drug addiction kicked off.

As far as Zhao Wuxi can see, folk witches dare to use anything, and even eat poisonous mushrooms to induce hallucinations. The official Wuzhu of the Song Dynasty used marijuana that is said to have "eat a lot to make people go crazy... long-term use of the gods" mixed with some spices, and waited for enough to smoke. After entering a coma or frenzy, they can see the incarnation of ghosts and gods.

Therefore, if someone says that "Shan Hai Jing" is a ridiculous book written by a group of drug-addicted wizards when they were in high school, Zhao Wuxi would not be surprised at all, or look at a bird outside the window. Adult bird head. Or think of a fox running by the grass as having nine tails...

The rituals Nanzi experienced should have the same effect, but Zhao Wuxi was indifferent to those illusory illusions. What he cared about was that the new status Nanzi gained by virtue of his identity as a witch could play a role in the new Song Dynasty he designed. what effect.

"Although you have become a disciple of the Great Witch, you will continue to be in charge of the court until Duke Song is crowned."

Nan Zi nodded and said, "Don't worry, gentleman, all the eyeliners Xiang's placed in the palace have been cleaned up, not a single one has been leaked."

There is Nanzi. Zhao Wuxi believed that the ownerless Song Nei Palace would be run by her like an iron barrel, holding the monarch in her hands and occupying the righteous name, so she was not afraid of dissatisfaction by the officials of Song.

But she was also worried: "What I'm worried about now is whether the Crown Prince of Wu will retaliate."

On that day, Xiang Mo slandered Nanzi and was killed by the great witch possessed by ghosts and gods. In the eyes of the people present, he was dead and innocent, and Xiang Chao was his accomplice, and he did not dare to stay in Shangqiu. Immediately following Fuchai's departure, he must not dare to enter Shangqiu in this life. As for Fu Chai, he had previously strongly advocated the strength of the Wu State, but Zhao Wuxi saw through it that he was a foreign power and a cadre. Fuchai was embarrassed and angry, and the proposal to marry the Song Kingdom fell apart when Nanzi became a disciple of the great witch. Fuchai's desire was not satisfied, so he went away in anger.

Before he left, he also threw down the words, saying that he would definitely succeed in Song State!

...

Wu Jun also knew that he had few people. He dared not play the trick of besieging the city gates, so he could only retreat to the east, and the followers of the Xiang clan also retreated slowly. Now Xiangchao occupies places such as Biaoyang and Xiaoyi. With the support, the eastern part of the Song state was a separate regime and did not obey the orders of Shangqiu.

Zhao Wuxi said: "As I said, Wu Guo is now unable to go north, and even though Fu Chai is dissatisfied, he is not someone who controls real power in Wu country. King Wu, Wu Zixu, and Sun Wu are all shrewd people. Fa Yue couldn't do his best, how could he get involved in the war in the Central Plains at will. However, without the support of a powerful country, the Song state could not take back the area occupied by the Xiang clan. When we come down, we must stabilize the situation in the Song Kingdom, and then take care of it slowly."

The Song Rebellion gave Zhao Wuxi an opportunity to intervene, and it was a great success, but he did not have enough strength and patience to win. Wei Guo's interfering army was completely wiped out, but Zheng Guo Yousu maintained its strength. More than 3,000 people fought and retreated, and they had already retreated into the territory of Zheng Guo. By the way, they occupied all the six gaps on the border between Zheng and Song, so that this could be avoided. It didn't look as bad as the second outing. Song Guo was able to drive away the robbers who had entered the house, but he had no strength to retake these territories from the enemy, so he could only watch Yusu escape.

"The city in the west was lost, and the people in the east were scattered. Although the chaos in the Song Dynasty has stopped, the rulers will face an eventful autumn..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wuxi sighed. This time in the chaos of the Song Kingdom, 40 to 50% of the nobles died. There were not many talented people in the court, and now there are many fewer people who can do things.

"I have said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. Song is a country of thousands, but the monarch is young and weak, and the new ruler, my brother-in-law Le Ziming, doesn't have the cooking skills of Yi Yin..."

After the news of the new monarch's succession was announced to the whole Song Dynasty, the doctors came to pay tribute to the old monarch one after another and met the new monarch. After these doctors from the border towns arrived in Shangqiu, they found that the Song Guoqing's position had undergone drastic changes.

After the bloodshed to the Great Sima, Le Mi got his wish and was appointed as the ruler of the small country. The Song State is generally held by the right division. Now this position is simply cancelled. The second in power. He was complacent for a while, but not happy for a few days. The lack of ability is reflected, and a large number of state affairs are lagging behind and cannot be dealt with in a timely manner.

How can Zhao Wu Xie know about the abilities of the eldest brother? It would be good to be able to manage a family of a hundred vehicles, and to rule a country of a thousand vehicles? That's a joke.

But he was not involved in the Song Chaos to help the Song country change its governance. Instead, he wanted to sit in this seat with a family member who could help him unconditionally, just like the Ji surnamed children at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. It was exactly the same as what the book said, in order to find a good monarch for the local aborigines? Bullshit, just because this is the age of cronyism. There are fifty-four people with the surname Ji, and as long as there is no serious physical or mental problem, they can become a monarch.

In the same way, as long as Le Miao is not stupid or stupid, Zhao Wuxi will help him to the upper position. Nanzi will watch over the harem and use the divine power for me; Le Lingzi will lead the magpies to rescue the people and win the hearts of the people; more Chen Yin, the head of Le's family, and Chen Dingguo, the family Sima, are on the side. These two brothers are rare talents. My uncle made a promise immediately, and he didn't ask him to rejuvenate the Song Dynasty. It was okay to keep it.

The candidate for power was occupied by Zhao Wuxi as Le Shiqiang, but other positions should not be too greedy. As a collaborator, Kou Huangyuan, the chief secretary who was originally ranked last among the six ministers of the Song Dynasty, became the second minister. .

Huang Yuan's ability is average, and his reputation is not obvious. He is quite satisfied with this arrangement. These days, he is conscientiously doing his own duty.

Because the Huang family and the Le family belonged to the descendants of Song Daigong, some of Song Pinggong's closest descendants were very dissatisfied. There was a lot of discussion, thinking that this was a sign of the Dai people's rise to power, and demanded that the status of the sons and grandsons be restored.

Zhao Wuxi naturally scoffed at these rotten old nobles, on how to deal with the dissidents in the court. Nanzi has already provided a wonderful note: "According to the usual practice, in the tenth month of Mengdong, the great witch will use the blood of the animal to smear the tortoise shell and chop grass, to judge the good and the bad by examining the signs and hexagrams, and to check whether there are people in the DPRK who have formed a party and formed a gang for selfishness. Must be exposed. Make their crimes impossible to cover...  

As a result, the dissidents in the DPRK were swept away, leaving only two newly appointed ministers.

After the death of the great Sima Xiangyu, his position was succeeded by his younger brother Sima Geng. Sima Geng has an impatient and upright temperament. Previously, because the Xiang family helped the people of Wu country to be a stalker, he betrayed the Xiang family and switched to Zhao Wuxi's side. He became more and more dissatisfied with the Xiang family. He even cried, but then he took office under Zhao Wuxi's persuasion.

"If Ziniu only cares about the family and cry, maybe the whole country of Song will cry, and the country of Song needs you."

As a result, Sima Ziniu, who was only 30 years old, became the highest-ranked person in Confucius. As he said, he was always playing the role of "Youzhi's minister" of the small monarch. Zheng and the second emperor are even bigger.

Nanzi was a little dissatisfied with Sima Geng, thinking that he was a lump of elm wood, which was unreasonable: "Sima Zini is the one who wants me to hand over the financial power of the inner government, so I can't wait for the situation to settle down. As the monarch grows up, I am worried that he will be hostile to us, why should the gentleman let him be the minister?"

"Sima Geng is not a group or a party, but he is an outlier among the Dai clan officials in the court. The reason why I let you and your uncle use him is not only to split the Xiang clan, but also because a country with a thousand rides is a good choice. There is someone who can do practical things... As for when the monarch is in power, I think it is more important to read more books and learn something from the master..."

Zhao Wuxi stretched out **** and shook it: "In this way, the monarch will be crowned at twenty!"

He himself has been crowned at the age of fifteen. In order to be able to administer the princes earlier, there are many people who are crowned at the age of 12 and 14, and 20 is already too late. Nan Zi was overjoyed, how could she not know Zhao Wuxi's plan? This means that she can be the head of the office for another ten years.

In addition, the position of Da Situ gave the Ling family a lot of spirit. The Ling family came from Duke Wengong of Song, and was one of the few doctors who managed to preserve their strength in the chaos and immediately took refuge in the victor's family after the war.

In this way, the new court of the Song state was determined. Except for the lost people's hearts, who could only leave Shangqiu's Zuo Shi Xiangchao, there were only four ministers left in the Song state.

Zhao Wuxi has been working hard for the balance of this new order these days. Nanzi knows his thoughts. After all this is arranged, it is the time of parting.

"Actually, if a gentleman is willing, he can stay in Song country at any time, but for Yiqing..." It was obvious that after Zhao Wuxi left, she would be freer, but Nanzi couldn't help but speak out.

...

A gentleman?

Zhao Wuxi had just turned eighteen this year, and he was on the throne at this age, and he was not a former member of the Yin clan. It was a bit shocking to say that, although Song State was only a medium-sized state, Song Qing's status was still not low.

Three years ago, he came to the Song country in a rather downhearted way, and when he wanted to go north to Weipu to take an adventure, Le Mi once kept him, saying that he could ask for a Qianshi town for Zhao Wuxi, let him be a doctor, and then he would be able to get happiness in the future. She sheltered and lived her life in peace.

But Zhao Wuxi refused. He chose the path that seemed to be full of thorns and was the most difficult to take. When he came back, he was under the control of others in the past. Now, the Le family relies on him to survive, and the government of the Song Dynasty is also controlled by him. hands.

If he can stay in the Song country and serve as a minister of the Song country, it is actually a good choice. There is his virtuous fiancee, a lover who is itchy at a glance, and a power at his fingertips.

Nan Zi's eyes were full of anticipation, Zhao Wuxi pondered slightly, then shook his head lightly, stretched out his hand and scratched gently on the tip of Nan Zi's small nose: "One mouth is a gift, you are really a prodigal, but I If you stay, it will only make the situation of Song country worse."

With just one choice, the original leader of the alliance would immediately become an enemy. The Le clan was in power, and the nobles of the Song kingdom were acceptable to them, but Zhao Wuxi was an outsider after all.

Although Song Guo is good, it is not a stage for Zhao Wuxi, not to mention that he has already helped Nanzi paint and set up the stage, and let her lead here for a while. While helping her, Zhao Wuxi also firmly held her life. That was the crime of murdering her father. No matter how high she could fly, once she planned to fight back, Zhao Wuxi would make her foundation collapse. !

Nanzi knelt on the ground, raised his pretty face and looked at Zhao Wuxi: "What are the plans of the gentleman?"

"It's already October and a half. I've been away for three months. It's time for me to go back to Lu."

The Lu country, the more than ten cities directly or indirectly controlled, the population of 200,000, the new system and new skills built from top to bottom, this is the basic plan of Zhao Wuxi, which is more than a minister who has no actual territory. Much more important!

But is it the end of the Lu country?

Le Qi's period of filial piety was coming to an end before he knew it. In three years, Zhao Wuxi left Jin and Xintian for three full years.

When Nanzi held the jade jade that Ji Ying gave him in both hands~www.readwn.com~ Zhao Wuxi touched the weft belt and remembered the oath he had made countless times.

"I will return!"

Yes, whether it is Song or Lu, these small states on Si Shang are just stepping stones for him to climb towards Jin, returning to the steps in the center of the stage, Jin and Chu fighting for hegemony, this is the center of the whole "Spring and Autumn"!

If you want to be a minister, then be a minister of a big country!

Zhao Wuxi looked out the window. In another month, the snow will fall. The snow is a good year. Under the snow, a brand new Song Kingdom is sprouting.

The Jin and Lu countries are killing all herbs. When the winter is too cold, who will have the last laugh?

After it was decided that the Song State would return the land invaded by the State of Cao, and he instructed the Lei family to write an emotional thank you letter to Cao Boyang, the living Lei Feng who sacrificed himself, Zhao Wuxi completed the last thing. Next, it is time for him to return to Lu as a commander. At this time, he just learned that there was a major event in the country of Lu not long ago!

Putting away the 500-mile expedited letter, Zhao Wuxi said lightly, "It's started..." (To be continued.)
