Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: Chapter 2 is at night

"Fa, we must send troops!" The face could not be seen clearly in the curtain, only the ring Pei Jingdang could be heard, but compared with Zhao Wuxi's side, Nan Zi's voice was a little less charming, more majestic and unquestionable . Lewen Fiction|

"Poetry: vote for me with wood peach, and repay it with Qiongyao. Bandit repayment, always think it's good! General Zhao's kindness to Song State, Zhao's and Le's in-laws, have they forgotten the ruling? This is what it is now. At the critical moment of the battle, to help Zhao Zhaosheng, how can Song Guo stand by?"

After Nanzi turned into a great witch, Le Min's feelings for her changed from admiration to fear and awe. He did not dare to look into the eyes of the nine-tailed Qingqiu in the curtain, lowered his head and muttered. Said: "How could I stand by and watch, I have already asked Chen Dingguo to lead 5,000 troops to Wei State, and also sent a division soldier to Lu State, and now the interior of Song State is empty. I will be defeated, and I am also inciting public opinion to press me..."

It has been more than three years since the Song Rebellion, and the Song Kingdom has gradually recovered from the heavy blow of Song Jinggong's death, but internal and external troubles still exist: in the west, Song's mortal enemy Zheng people still occupy Mizuo, Qingqiu, Yuchang, There are six side towns of Yan, Ge and Chen. To the east, Xiangchao, relying on the support of the people of Wu State, still separates Xiao, Paiyang, Xiang, Pei, and Liuzhou, named Song Qing, who is actually a pretender for the ruling position.

Since the Zhao clan went to war with the princes last year, and the Song state sent a large number of soldiers and grains to support, Xiang clan also began to be restless. Xiang Chao firmly opposed being involved in the war.

Le Min was able to get the throne entirely because of his father's virtue. He himself has no ability, and his character is not enough to convince the public. Therefore, as a ruler, he cannot get the support of the nobles. And Nanzi's position is also a bit unfair, and there are rumors in the country that she has an affair with Zhao Wuxi.

At that time, because Zhao Wuxi was the only one in the limelight in Sishang, the nobles of Song Dynasty dared to be angry and dare not say anything about the two superiors. Now that the Zhao clan was surrounded, for a while, many clansmen who were dissatisfied with them began to shout. For example, the request to stop sending troops abroad. Asked to increase the position of the ministers and restore the four ministers to the original six ministers; Nanzi ended the so-called "hiding the curtain" and returned to the Song Gongjiu - although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

The public opinion was raging, and together with the emperor of the Dai clan, he chose to stand by and watch. Fortunately, Sima Ziniu, who was in control of the military power, was a firm supporter of the Le clan, but he also suggested that Nanzi should stop politics after the monarch's crown ceremony.

So Le Mi was worried that if he sent the public army and Le clan soldiers that he could control, Shangqiu would be empty. It will be taken advantage of by domestic opposition forces.

As the "hen chicken Sichen" referred to by thousands of husbands, Nan Zi is much calmer than Le Min, she sneered: "Xiangchao, it's just a clown jumping on the beam. Since he dares to openly provoke the way of heaven, the way of heaven will be unhappy, so naturally he won't let it go. past him..."

Nanzi asked people to put down the curtain and walked out, with frost on her beautiful face, not letting the man's eyes carry murderous intent, she bowed to Song Junjiu, who was also stunned, and said, "Your Majesty. There are treacherous ministers who believe in heresy trying to cause chaos and subvert the ruler's rule, it's time for Heaven to punish them!"

...

Xiaocheng was originally the fief of Le Daxin. During the Song Rebellion three years ago, Xiaocheng was awarded by the prince of Wu State and handed over to Xiangchao, who was attached to him.

Xiang Chao had not been comfortable in the past few years. His younger brother Xiang Yu was beaten to death by the Great Wu Yi copper staff known as possessed by ghosts and gods. If it wasn't for the presence of Fu Chai, I'm afraid he would not have escaped this result. Therefore, in the past few years, although Xiang Chao was still Song Qing in name, he did not dare to go to Shangqiu's official office at all.

In the past two years, Zhao Wuxi's power was too powerful, no one in the small country of Si Shang dared to go against his wishes, and Xiang Chao was the same.

But feng shui took turns. Since last year, Zhao Wuxi's soldiers in the state of Lu have been dispatched, and people from the countries of Si Shang, such as Ju and Zhu, have begun to try to break away from Song Lu's control. Xiangchao can't stand the loneliness, and begins to expand his army to protect himself. . Xiaocheng was originally a big city, and in addition to several other places, he also raised 5,000 soldiers, enough to resist the crusades of the Song Dynasty's imperial army and the Le clan.

In addition, at the end of last year, the husband he took refuge with became the King of Wu, and Xiangchao's chin was almost lifted to the sky!

For a time, nobles from the old imperial office who were dissatisfied with Sichengle and Nanzi in the Song Dynasty began to gather under the banner of Xiangchao to cheer for him. Xiangchao was also eager to move, and sent people everywhere to encourage the doctors to respond negatively to the conscription and preparations for the ruling army.

"Let the Zhao clan and the lords go to war, the country of Song needs stability and rest!" Having said that, what Xiang Chao wanted to see most was the Zhao clan's fiasco. In that case, the Le clan and Nanzi would definitely fall, and then let him go. Take over the government.

But what he couldn't figure out was that this female **** must have raised countless faces, and she also hooked up with Zhao Wuxi, how could she be a virgin!

"It must be fake, then you must tear up the cover up of your concubine, and let the Chinese people see what kind of dirty body is under that holy witch robe!" Sitting in the carriage heading for the southern suburbs , Xiangchao thought so viciously, shaking his fan, complaining about the sweltering heat.

Today is the beginning of summer. According to the usual practice, Dr. Qing will go to the southern suburbs of the city to hold a "welcoming summer" ceremony, and Xiang Chao is no exception.

Because the Song people were fond of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, although Xiang Chao disapproved in his heart, he had to put on a look of reverence for the gods and ancestors in order to satisfy the local people. If the sacrifice is neglected, and when Xia Qiu suffers a disaster, he may be blamed. Xiao Cheng’s Wu Zhu advised him so, and Xiang Chao also felt that there was some truth. Not quite.

Originally, he had the opportunity to turn his attention to Nanzi and criticized her for causing disasters to Sichen, but Nanzi took the lead in controlling the Wuzhus in Shangqiu, and sent people to spread the "Tao of Heaven", saying that the Tao of Heaven is reincarnated, and good and bad disasters are frequent, everywhere. Demagogic, so that attacks on the nest have no effect. Nanzi's tongue is so eloquent that he has won the hearts of the people at the bottom. Instead, he pushed Xiang Chao to the opposite side of public opinion.

Therefore, Xiangchao is even more careless. He can't control it outside the territory, but he still has to win the hearts and minds of the people in the territory.

So today Xiangchao was dressed in a vermilion dress, wearing vermilion jade ornaments, riding a red horse and a vermilion chariot, and even the flag of the chariot was vermilion. This kind of red-tone summer ceremony strongly expresses the good wishes of the Song people for the harvest of crops.

The red carriage drove slowly on the streets of Xiaocheng. Following the dull rhythm of the horse's hoofs and the creaking of the wheels, Song Guoqing leaned on the comfortable cushions to rest, and the retainers shouted from outside: "The big secretary's carriage is here, everyone. avoid!"

Xiang Chao is very cautious. Even if he travels in his own territory, he will bring a full 200 personal guards, all of them fully armed with swords in hand.

After leaving the city gate, it is the southern suburbs. Xiangchao's Wu Zhu set up a mound for sacrifices by the river. However, when Xiangchao lifted the curtain of the car, he was surprised to find that more people came than usual today.

On the shore of Danshui, between his car and the round hills, there were huge crowds of people, countless people wearing coarse linen clothes and filthy people. There are thousands of people around, and hundreds of people on the other side of the Danshui. The smoke is lingering, and the rough tents and simple huts built with mud fill the eyes.

...

"What's going on?" Xiang Chao was suspicious, and asked the middle-aged wizard named Mo Yi who greeted Xiao Cheng Wu Zhu, who was greeted under the car.

"Last year, the Danshui area suffered a flood due to the lack of time to welcome the summer. After the fall, there were no grains in many places. Everyone felt that it was caused by neglecting the gods. Therefore, this year's summer welcomes people from far and near to help the old and the young. , come early to watch the lord sacrifice."

"So it is." Xiang Chao stared at Mo Yi's eyes, but found that there was nothing in it except piety and compassion for the people.

In the records of the Duke of Song Dynasty, Mo Yi should be the elder brother of Duke Xiang of Song, after the son Mu Yi. But he has long lost the demeanor of an aristocrat: his complexion was tanned by the sun, his feet were worn with shaggy shoes, his arms under the witch robes were thin, and his palms were rough.

He sang in a high-pitched tone: "Although there are deep streams, bolins, and secluded streams where no one is there, you can't be careless in the implementation. There are ghosts and spirits everywhere... Please get out of the car and walk."

"Wei, since this is the case, let's start the sacrifice." Xiang Chao frowned and hated these vulgar people, but he got out of the car and followed Mo Yi to the altar. There were several guards behind him, and even a husband. The swordsmen of Wu State who were presented to him were engraved with carvings on their faces, which made people know at a glance that they were from Wu.

"Wu people, the Wu people who robbed my family wealth, killed my father and brother, and robbed my wife and daughter when they passed through Xiaocheng..." Among the crowded people, some people whispered through their teeth, but their voices were caught by the wind. Blown away, masked by the sound of breathing, Xiang Nest did not hear.

It was only a hundred paces from the carriage to the altar, and the people on both sides were all looking forward to it, but when they looked at the nest, they found that there was no smiling face. The expressions of these people on both sides of the Danshui are dull, gloomy, and full of hostility.

Or should I send troops to clear the way? Xiang Chao had a trace of regret, but now he can't get off on a tiger, so he can only bite the bullet and finish the sacrifice. When he returned to the city, he would pack them up fiercely, and let the generals roar to scare away these common people and scoundrels.

However, under the swords and halberds of the road-clearing guards, and under the eyes of Wu Zhu Moyi, they still reluctantly gave way to the road~www.readwn.com~ Finally, Xiang Nest set foot on the round mound, stepping on solid cobblestones. , he was relieved that there were no stinking commoners around. But then, hundreds of eyes stared at his back behind him, which made him horrified again.

"Hey, Zhu Rongshen, and listen to our prayers!" At this moment, Mo Yi had already started singing before the sacrifice.

The wood is called Jumang, the fire is called Zhurong, the Jinzheng is called Leshou, the water is called Xuanming, and the earth is called Houtu. Huozheng Zhurong is the official Xiaguan, in charge of the weather and rain in summer. To worship this Huozheng, flames are naturally indispensable. In a short time, the raging flames will be ignited on the mound.

The prepared dogs and horses were presented to the nest, killed by Mo Yi himself, and thrown into the fire. The tempting fragrance began to permeate the surroundings. Xiang nest could hear the sound of the hungry ghosts swallowing saliva behind him. Some of them seemed to describe Juicy, with sunken eye sockets, he was obviously hungry and seemed to be able to eat his horse alive. But under the temptation of this scent, there was no confusion, and he felt something was wrong. Why were these people who should be kneeling and begging him for food in such an orderly manner?

It's as if there is an invisible force that twists these people from all directions together...
