Spring and Autumn I Am King

China has great etiquette, so it is called the beauty of Xia Youzhang clothes, which is called Hua.

From this point of view, the envoys sent by the Chinese monarch have buns on their heads, dark clothes with wide sleeves, colorful ornaments on their clothes, and a dazzling array of belt hooks and jade ornaments on their waists. There is no difference at all, it is not bad to call it "Hua".

"The foreign minister Zhai Li, on behalf of the widow lord, greeted Zhao Shangqing of the Jin State, Meng Dong is cold, and I hope Shangqing is well."

There is nothing wrong with the etiquette of the slaughter of the Zhongshan lord, except that he cannot recite the Book of Songs to respond due to limited culture, all of which are standard Zhuxia etiquette.

It is only from the narrow-sleeved leopard furs worn by the few Zhongshan warriors who followed him and the attire of Zuojian that this was a state established by the Di people.

Zhongshan has been established for more than ten years since the official establishment of the country in 506 BC in the year of the Zhaoling Meeting. Unlike Daiguo, they were surrounded by Jin, Qi and Yan on three sides. The country has been a vassal for 20 years, so it is deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains.

Zhao Wuxi recognized their positive attitude, so he could not treat Zhongshan as simply and rudely as he did to the stubborn Daiguo. Not to mention that due to the joint crusade against the Zhongxing clan, Zhongshan was still an ally with the Zhao clan, and Zhao Wuxi even climbed up relatives with Zhongshan Jun, and the two were called brothers.

Seeing that Zhai Li was polite and disciplined, he also greeted Zhongshan-jun for a while, and after the greeting was over, the other party began to express his intentions.

"I heard that Shangqing broke the generation, and the widow king was delighted. He specially sent foreign ministers to congratulate him. He also gave a pair of silver two-winged beasts and a half agate of agate. With a little care, Fu Wei accepted it."

As he said that, he asked the Di Ren warriors behind him to carry the gifts up. Those agates unique to Zhongshan had a good gloss and bright colors. A pair of staggered silver double-winged beasts are exquisite in workmanship, with one head on the left and one on the right, two ribs with wings, a slanted rear tail, bowed limbs, and silver lines of cloud patterns interlaced around the body. 's town.

These treasures show the exquisite craftsmanship of Zhongshan people. This almost completely agricultural nation is by no means comparable to Dai, Loufan and other Saiwai Rong Di.

However, Zhao Wuxi is different from ordinary lords and officials. He is not enthusiastic about treasures, gold and silver. What he desires more is cities, land, and population.

Wu Xie waved his hand and asked people to take these things, and then smiled at Zhai Li: "Just as the next generation city was built here, Zhongshan sent someone here. Your country is really well-informed."

Zhai Li laughed along with him, but he couldn't tell the bitterness in his heart.

Zhao Wuxi suddenly attacked Daiguo, which really shocked Zhongshanguo, because Bairen, Handan and other places close to Zhongshan were completely silent. At the same time that Zhao's attacked Daiguo, there was absolutely no sign of being in that area. In the wartime state, the city gates are still wide open and the market is prosperous.

Later, Zhongshan people found out that Zhao Wuxi was actually the power of a county in Taiyuan to conquer Daiguo, and it took only half a month to lay down Daicheng and destroy Dairong, who had dominated the north for 50 years. Zhongshan was terrified. Although the relationship with Daiguo is not good, but the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, Zhongshan Jun can't sleep at night, and strengthens the defense of the border, and Baba sends his chief Zhai Li to Banquan, wanting to inquire about Zhao Wuxi's meaning.

After all, as soon as the kingdom was over, the Zhao family surrounded Zhongshan from the north, west, and south, and Zhongshan inevitably felt a sense of crisis.

But now, it seems that the Zhao family has no intention of coveting Zhongshan. Zhao Wuxi was very happy after receiving the gift, and gave Zhai Li the dogs and horses and women of his country, and asked him to give Zhongshan Jun as a courtesy.

Just when Zhai Li relaxed his vigilance and began to accompany Zhao Wuxi to laugh and drink, someone suddenly came to report: "Shangqing, the Prince of Yan has gone outside the city!"

The sweet and sour wine in his mouth suddenly turned bitter, and the wine cup that Zhai Li held up also stopped. After a while, he forced a smile and said, "I don't know that Shangqing has other distinguished guests."

"What VIP, it's just an uninvited villain."

Zhao Wuxi waved his sleeves irritably, as if to drive away a fly that he hated.

Zhai Li couldn't help but be overjoyed. Could it be that Yan Guo offended the Zhao family? He asked tentatively, and Zhao Wuxi sighed: "A few years ago, if it weren't for Zhongshan, it would not have been so easy for the Zhao clan to destroy the Zhongxing clan, so I made an appointment with Lord Zhongshan as brothers. The two families live in Jizhou, and we should be good neighbors and friendly people. That's right. But after laying down the next generation land and bordering the State of Yan, the envoys of the State of Yan came to see him again and again, hoping to make good friends with the Zhao family, and even more want to alienate the relationship between me and the Zhongshan State!"

"What!?" Zhai Li was taken aback. The establishment and expansion of Zhongshan would inevitably conflict with the state of Yan in the northeast. Before, Yan belonged to the state of Qi, while Zhongshan belonged to the state of Zhao. There have been several battles, each with a winner and a loser, and the relationship is still very tense. Now that the state of Yan actually sent their prince to see Zhao Wuxi in person, and they planned to divide the relationship between Zhao and Zhongshan?

This is a matter of life and death!

Zhao Wuxi was still narrating the words of the State of Yan: "People from the State of Yan said that Zhongshan was like the Shan Rong in the past, and they were embezzling the border towns and poisoning the people. Since the Zhao family is the minister of the Jin State and the leader of the Xia Dynasty, they also hope that I can send troops. The crusade will give justice to the country of Yan"

Thinking of Zhao Yan's attack on Zhongshan, Zhai Li broke out in sweat from head to toe, and quickly came out to defend, "The people of Yan country are lying! Zhongshan has never invaded a border town of Yan country, but they have just acquired unowned land. Yan State, relying on the protection of Qi State, regarded Xianyu as a miscellaneous Di, and had sent troops to attack the people on the border many times. For the country, and now he is still fighting in front of Shang Qing."

"These, of course, I know. I have already refuted the excessive demands of the people of Yan country. Both sides should secure their borders. How can you covet the cities of other countries? Not only Zhongshan and Yan, but even Zhongshan and my Zhao clan. Rightfully so!"

Zhao Wuxi clapped his hands and asked someone to bring up the map.

"Since Zhongshan has become a state, and not a miscellaneous migrating everywhere, it must have a border. I don't want to ask too much about the border between Zhongshan and Yan. You can decide by yourself, but the border between Daidi and Zhongshan is also very vague. Take this time to finalize?"

Zhai Lifen couldn't help but say, Zhao Wuxi tickled a red pen: "The north of the Juma River will return to Zhao, and the south of the Juma River will return to Zhongshan, how about it!?"

Zhai Li quickly got up and took a look. As a result, the hill of poor fish was completely drawn to Zhao's side, and the hill of poor fish was connected, but Pu, which was very important to Zhongshan, was completely his own. It's a loss. In this way, the north gate of Zhongshan is almost equivalent to opening a cave to Zhao's.

But he also knew that if he didn't agree, maybe the Zhao family would unite with the Yan Kingdom and attack Zhongshan. Zhao Wuxi's previous words clearly showed a strong threat.

He reluctantly said: "The foreign ministers can't be the master of this matter, and they have to ask the widow monarch for instructions."

"Also, for the country's major events, you must be cautious."

Zhongshan is not like the kingdom of Dai, which can be attacked with one blow. They are already a city of farming and farming, and they are located in the mountainous area. There are many borders, and it is difficult for the army to move.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi did not force it, but said: "But then again, Zhongshan changed the name of the state and established the state more than ten years ago, but there are very few princes who can regard you as an equal state. Confucius once said, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and if the words are not correct, things will not succeed. Zhongshan wants to continue, and wants to stand up to the state of Yan. I am afraid that I need to be recognized by the emperor, and the land will be awarded. Cai, who is the minister of Jin State, the leader of the Xia Dynasty authorized by the emperor, is willing to introduce Zhongshan Jun, enter the Zhou Dynasty to visit the emperor, let Zhongshan officially feudal the state and establish the country, and be listed as a prince!"

A feudal state was established, listed as a prince, Zhongshan! ?

"It's true!" Zhai Li was surprised and happy for a while.

Zhongshan people do not have the strength and courage of Chu people, "I am a barbarian, not a posthumous title with China". The feeling also deepened in their hearts, and pretending to be "after the surname of Yin Shangzi" is an example. Because of the strictness of the patriarchal system itself, the Zhou Dynasty recorded very detailed records of when the feudal lords were divided and which branch they belonged to, and it was difficult to identify Xibei goods.

Therefore, Zhongshan can only climb on the surnames of the scattered sons, so that he will not be despised by the princes, but the Yan Kingdom still looks down on them. One of Ji Zhou's most important states, the people of Yan who are not as good as before can still proudly scold them "Yi Di"!

Therefore, what Zhongshanzi has been striving for is like the state of Zhu and Ju, although it is not the first state of the Zhou family, although it is a barbarian, it can still add the name of a prince, so that he can integrate into the kingdom of Zhuxia. In a big family, you can also have normal diplomatic relations with other countries and go to work with you. The state of Jin, which has always regarded Zhongshan as his servant and vassal, will never allow such a situation. When he was with Fan Yang in his early years, Zhongshan had a bad face.

But now, Zhao Wuxi claimed that he was willing to introduce Zhongshan Zi to meet Zhou Tianzi, and let Tianzi officially agree to Zhongshan's feudal state and founding of the country?

Zhai Li was ecstatic, and his unhappiness that Zhao Wuxi wanted Zhongshan to cede the land dozens of miles north of the Juma River was also swept away.

In Zhao Wuxi, it is true that he does not have any hostility towards Zhongshan. If he traded a mere tens of miles of land for a formal title of prince, it would definitely be worth it!

"If this can be done, let's not say that Zhongshan is only a few dozen miles away. Zhongshan is willing to offer his enmity as the support of Shangqing!"

After agreeing to explain the matter to Zhongshanzi, Zhai Li walked out briskly. After leaving the slightly crude hall, he saw at a glance standing at the door, wearing a beautiful mink fur, flicking off his crown. A young noble with snowflakes.

High-sounding, ringed with ding bells, and the specifications are close to that of the Shang Qing of the Jin State, this person is by no means an ordinary scholar-bureaucrat!

"Is it the Prince of Yan?" Zhai Li walked over and asked tentatively ~www.readwn.com~ Of course, it was Yu. "

The tall prince of Yan Kingdom glanced at Zhai Li suspiciously and didn't know him. Could this be Zhao Shangqing's personal accompaniment?

"Humph!" Unexpectedly, after Zhai Li confirmed his identity, he lifted his chin and gave the Prince of Yan a fierce look.

"Yanren, wait and see!"

He immediately walked away, leaving only the Prince Ke with a confused look on his face.

: When I read the inscription on the "Three Instruments of Zhongshan" in the soil, the first impression is that the state established by Bai Di is very Huaxia. The imitation of the Central Plains is comprehensive. The inscription on the bronze yue of the Marquis of Zhongshan in the Warring States states even more: "The Son of Heaven builds the state, the Marquis of Zhongshan", which shows that Zhongshan people attach great importance to getting the recognition of Zhou Tianzi, which is also what they are extremely eager for in this era.

To be continued.
