Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: Chapter 3 is in the evening, thank the book friends for being the helmsman of this book!

In the battle of Jidong at the end of October, the rabble of the Shusun clan fled to pieces, and most of them surrendered to the Zhao clan, especially the people who had been conscripted from Qiyi, and they wanted to turn against each other. 【Read the latest chapter..】

But the more orderly Ji clan and Meng clan mostly managed to escape, Meng clan 5,000 people evacuated to Yunyi, Ji clan 5,000 people evacuated to Qufu.

On the banks of Jishui, the inventory of more than 10,000 prisoners was in progress. The doctor and the high-ranking taxi were invited to the ship. Zhao Wuxi arranged for people to treat each other with courtesy, although no one dared to move the banquet. Most of the seven or eight captured doctors were the lords of Qianshi Town, east of Qufu. Now it is the relationship between the prisoners and the winners. They are uneasy and worried about what Zhao Wuchen will do with them.

Zhao Wuxi didn't have the time to manage these defeated generals, so he would aggravate their fears for a few days, and the dialogue would be more effective. He was sitting opposite Confucius at the moment, the grey-haired tendril-haired old man elongated his face, staring at Zhao Wuxi with the eyes of a chaotic minister and a thief, while Zhao Wuxi was vying for each other.

"Right and wrong, loyal ministers and rebels, sometimes there is only a thin veil... Master is familiar with the history of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Don't you know that the official history has always been a record of black and white?"

Confucius closed his eyes slightly: "Although there are many tamperers, most of them are truthful accounts. Even if Xiao Sikou does such things, even if he is not afraid of the public opinion, he is not afraid of leaving behind people like Hua Du, Cui Chu, and Qingfeng after his death. Bad name?"

Zhao Wuxi sighed and said, "In my opinion, the reason why they have a bad reputation is because they eventually lost. The victors are princes, the losers are thieves, and things in the world have always been like this."

Confucius was sullen, and this sentence greatly exceeded his bottom line: "The victor is a prince, the loser is a thief? Zhao Xiaosikou actually thinks so!?"

"Of course!" Zhao Wuxi was not as polite to Confucius today as he used to be. Confucius' knowledge stemmed from his mastery of the classics of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. After comparison, he believed that Zhou Li was the best. But Zhao Wuxi saw much farther than him, at this moment, in this world. No Confucius yet! Their conversations are equal, and he's even better!

"I am the Zhao clan with the surname Ying. Throughout the family history, there is nothing but misery and desolation after defeat. The ancestor of the surname Ying, Boyi, assisted Dayu in controlling the floods and made Kyushu prosperous. He was the successor of Xia Yu, but was seized by Xia Qi. He became the leader of the state tribe and settled in the sun of Jishan Mountain. As a result, after a thousand years, the name of Boyi will not be prominent, and the surname Ying will gradually decline."

"In the Yin, Zhou and Yi Dynasties, my ancestors Feilian and Eilai were officials and ministers who assisted the Yin Shang in the expedition of the Dongyi, but after Muye was defeated, he was said to be a minister, and his descendants were reduced to the emperor's horses, horses and drivers. , isn't this inversion of black and white?"

Confucius strongly argued: "This is just the unwillingness of the Ying family..."

Zhao Wuxi smiled and said, "Is that so? The ancestor of the master came from the Song state, and he is also a remnant of the Yin and Shang surnames with the surname of Zi. Then I will use the case of Shang Zhou as an analogy."

Kong Qiu's pupils shrank. This is a topic he has been trying to avoid, Zigong once asked, and also put forward a very extreme idea: he wants to reverse the case for Zhou.

And what kind of opinion will Zhao Wuxi put forward, and how should he answer it?

...

"I have been to the storage room of the Song Kingdom, and I have the honor to read the ancient writings of the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and found that Di Xin's badness is not as serious as the legends..."

"In the current rumors, the crime of King Zhou is exactly the same as that of Xia Jie. Xia Jie did the torture. Later generations put him on Shang Zhou. As for Zhou Wuwang's "Mother Oath", several articles One of the charges is 'only listening to the words of the women', women's involvement in politics is a tradition of the Yin people, and the Zhou people can't understand it. Can the master, who is a remnant of the Yin and Shang, understand? Brother', 'is only the Quartet who escapes with many crimes'. In my opinion, this is the pioneering move of Emperor Xin, who abandoned his relatives and used his talents. The reproduction of vassals is intertwined, and the evil effect of this system in the state of Lu must be seen by the master, and Lu has been weak since then. On the contrary. At the same time, the state of Qi, which was divided into vassals, made great achievements, and finally became a great seaside country..."

Zhao Wuxi's hand fell on the wine bottle. In the reflection of the wine, he seemed to see the dust of history, and his voice became cold: "Why is such a Shang Zhou given a lot of notoriety? The reason is not yet. If the king or the bandit is defeated, once he is defeated and becomes a low-ranking person, all the bad things and bad names in the world will be attributed to him!"

Confucius didn't answer, and looked at the wine cup in a daze, because what Zhao Wuxi said was right, he couldn't argue.

Wu Xie also pointed to the messy battlefield under the setting sun: "King Wen of Zhou was appointed to the sky when he was still a minister of Yin and Shang. This is arrogance. During the period of filial piety to his father, King Wu of Zhou blatantly united the Eight Kingdoms to attack Dayi Shang, which is treason. Today, I just fought back the three gentlemen who wanted to cross the Jishui and fight with me, which is far worse than what King Wen and King Wu did, so the Master should not talk to me about justice in name or not. "

Confucius was silent. He was originally from Yin, but he became a follower of Zhou Li. He praised King Wen's virtue and said that King Wen Chang "has two thirds of the world and serves Yin", and is a perfect person. However, he criticized King Wu quite a bit, saying that King Wu's hair was "beautiful, but not perfect." The hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over was King Wu's attack on Zhou and the demise of his native country Yin and Shang.

In the end, he wanted to say something, although his mouth was dry: "This is different. The reason why King Wu is a righteous teacher is because he wants to save the Yin people from tyranny... As the saying goes, God listens to the people, and the sky sees the people."

"Good!" Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Wuxi slapped his palms and said with a smile: "The Master said well, since the righteousness of the ruler and the minister, the superiority and inferiority are so easy to confuse right and wrong, I think it is still according to the public opinion to decide the right and wrong. Injustice is good. It is clear at a glance that Sanhuan and I are good and bad to the people. It is also clear at a glance who Sanhuan and I can support the backbone of Lu, and face Qi, Wu and other great powers to suppress the interests of Lu people. In this way, I cut down Sanhuan, and I cut down the corpses and vegetarians with worthy ministers, and I am righteous!"

...

Confucius was completely speechless, and he fell into Zhao Wuxi's sophistry.

What was hit the most today was not the collapse of Zaijishui River, the four capitals that had been painstakingly managed for several months, but the fact that Zhao Wuxi opened a huge leak in the philosophy he had always believed in.

With his spear and attacking his shield, Confucius suddenly found that after returning from a circle, his accusation against Zhao Wuxi became pale and weak. On the contrary, what Zhao Wuxi said sounds very reasonable. King Wu of Zhou used his ministers to defeat the monarch, and he was praised by the world, but Zhao Wuxi has not yet reached that level, and he really loves the people...

No, no, no, this is still not right. For Confucius, he pursues results, but the process must be meticulous, and no impurity can be mixed in, so he can refuse all kinds of appointments, and it took decades before he entered politics.

He gritted his teeth and launched the last struggle: "I heard that Si Kou supported Sicheng Le and his daughter Nanzi in Song State, and the government of Song State has already entered Zhao's hands. I also know that Si Kou's purpose is nothing more than to Obtaining the government of the state of Lu, and thereby gaining the importance of the state of Jin. I also believe that Si Kou loves the people like a son, however, the ruler is upright, and Si Kou is a commander who is not upright, who dares to be upright?

Zhao Wuchen said regretfully: "Master and I are destined to be different. I believe that the winner will get justice. I only look at the result, but no matter the process. No matter how many rumors there are, no matter how fierce the public opinion is, I act straight and sit down. Right, I have taken the top three seats in the Qufu court!"

The difference between the two is like a huge ravine, lying between them, but Confucius can't care about the battle of ideas now. He knows that this is the last chance to save the old system of Lu State and Zhou Li...

He got up and waved his sleeves and said, "Arrogant! You haven't decided the victory yet! The outcome is unknown."

Zhao Wuxi looked up at the tall and stubborn old man: "Really?"

"The Ji clan and the Meng clan have already escaped, and the fortified city of Qufu will be difficult to conquer. Once the state of Lu is in chaos, it will be the people who will suffer for many years. It is better to stop here, eliminate the military equipment, and carry out the ritual of Zhou. If you really seal it, you will also be able to replace your uncle and grandson, become a minister, become... a big secretary! The Ji family is nearly half a hundred years old, and the Meng family is not too young. As long as you wait patiently, within ten or twenty years, you will definitely be promoted to power. , how?"

Confucius' words are sincere and his eyes are earnest. Two years ago, he had nothing, and even the only Zhongduyi was broken into the outer country. He could only drive an ox cart with two beloved disciples to Feiyi to persuade Gongshan not to run away. Everyone thought that the conflict between Gongshan and Ji Sunsi could not be reconciled, but under the persuasion of Confucius, they were able to turn their battles into jade and silk.

Maybe today, he can perform the same miracle?

But Zhao Wuxi's answer shattered his expectations.

"What a pity, Master, if you had proposed ~www.readwn.com a month ago~ I might have accepted it, but now it's impossible, because I will win!"

Although he did not agree with Confucius' ideas, he still respected the old man in front of him very much, and could even treat each other with the courtesy of a teacher.

But there are only losers and winners in Game of Thrones, and he won't make concessions to Confucius again!

Confucius felt that his retreat had stepped on the edge of a cliff of ten thousand feet. He said eagerly: "The Ji family and the Meng family still have 10,000 troops... They are still justifiable ministers, ruling..."

Zhao Wuxi dipped his fingers in the wine and drew a map on the table: "The Meng family fled to Yenyi, Meng Sun Heji was mediocre, and he would not have the courage or ability to fight back after leaving the house, I only need a thousand people. The partial teacher can tell him to shrink the city, and he can't be afraid, this person is not a concern. As for the Ji family..."

He once again began to challenge Confucius' bottom line: "Master, do you still remember what I said about mantis catching cicadas, and the oriole behind? You probably don't know yet, just when Sanhuan came to Jishui to fight me, Duke Fei Yi said Shan Buju has already betrayed! He will attack Qufu with thousands of people. If Ji Sunsi returns quickly, he will just hit him! If he is a few steps behind... Qufu, which has empty soldiers, will probably be taken by Gongshan clan. Down!" (To be continued.)
