"It's the right time for Fan Bo." Wei Xiang is not cursing Shi Xie, but just a feeling of being a smart person.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Lu Wu for three or two months, and he had been busy with his own affairs.

And Wei took over the burden of being responsible for diplomatic relations with Wei Guo before, and he has been busy with such things for a long time.

After Wei Xiang's efforts, Wei Jun Wei has agreed to let Cao Junji go wrong.

This can be regarded as a great thing that Wei has done for the Jin State.

Just, right?

Wei Jun Wei Jian said more clearly, of course it is okay to let Cao Junji take it, but Cao Junji should be punished.

And the punishment that Wei Jun Wei said was not to make Cao Jun Ji bear the responsibility of killing the prince to stand on his own, and to ask Cao Guo to cede the land adjacent to Wei Guo to compensate Wei Guo for the cost of this righteous act.

They proposed that Cao needed to cede north of Pushui, including "Qingqiu", to Weiguo.

Lu Wu was still thinking about what Wei Xiang had learned about the Fan family, and the topic jumped to Wei Guo and Cao Guo, and then heard Wei Guo ask for Cao Guo's land, and showed a surprised face for a while.

It is now the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the wars of the various vassal states are for hegemony, and there are very few territorial changes when they lose or lose.

To put it bluntly, in fact, in addition to the name of the overlord, what the boss wants is for the countries to pay the protection money on time and follow their own instructions.

Of course, the nations also covet the land of their neighbors, but the encroachment on the land is too influential for it to be easy to speak.

For example, the last time the Jin State won the Qin State and asked for the land near Jingshui, it actually had a very big impact.

This time, Wei Guo dared to openly ask for the land of Cao State, which was obviously influenced by the Jin State to obtain the land of Qin State.

Once the Patriotic State has achieved its goal this time?

In Lu Wu's view, the various vassal states are afraid that they are not going to enter a new round of annexation.

In three days, there is friction between this vassal state and that vassal state, and it may become a norm to fight a change of land ownership.

And this kind of normalcy cannot be stopped even by the Jin State as the overlord.

After all, the strong country definitely wants to gain more territory, and the weak country also has the desire to become stronger.

Under the trend of not working hard and going to perdition, who would dare to eat and wait for death?

The wave of annexation of nations ended more than a hundred years ago.

Now, is it going to start again?

Wei Xiang said with a calm face: "This wind can't be broken!" ”

Lu Wuxin said: "What's the use of you telling me this. ”

The Jin Kingdom is now unstable at home.

Wei Guo is one of the loyal younger brothers of the Jin State.

In addition, Cao Guo is actually a loyal younger brother of Jin Guo.

Now Wei Guo has a territorial desire for Cao Guo?

Considering that Ji Chengshu killed the crown prince to ascend the throne, he didn't come to Jin Guo for the first time afterwards, and first ran to bribe Zhou Tian to create the established fact of the legitimacy of the throne, and then came to Jin Guo to seek a promise.

In fact, including the monarch and the "secretaries", and even most of the nobles, they were quite dissatisfied with the current monarch of Cao State.

Wei Xiang must have taken this layer into account, so he was worried that the monarch might have a "qing" who would agree to Wei Jun's proposal.

He said: "Now that the signs of internal chaos have appeared, it is stable externally, and because of the stain on Cao Jun's ascendancy, the marshal will definitely allow Wei Jun to request." ”

Lu Wu nodded silently.

The older Luan Shu gets, the more he doesn't care about the overall situation, he is indeed doing things more and more based on himself.

This one is very similar to Xun Ke.

When he was young, Xun Ke was also selfless, and after holding power for a long time, he thought about seeking personal interests for the Hao family, so that he broke the inheritance of the throne in an orderly manner, and directly promoted Luan Shu from a new army general to a Chinese army general.

Before he died, he wanted to find a successor who could take care of the Xu family.

In a way, he didn't really trust anyone.

After taking the throne, Luan Shu is still very grateful for Xun Ke's kindness, otherwise there would be no Yin Qi, Yin Li and Hao Zhi now.

It's nothing more than that Xun Qi himself is too unconscious, forcing Luan Shu to have to start.

And once Luan Shu chooses to start, it is impossible to be merciful.

It will still be the kind of ruthlessness that does not move, and it will destroy the whole door of the Hao clan as soon as it is launched.

"The army going south has defeated Zheng Guo, and the army has surrounded 'Xinzheng', and I heard that Chu Jun ordered Yi Zizhong to lead the army north to rescue Zheng Guo." Lu Wu felt that not only would Luan Shu not be able to come back for a while, but the monarch would soon have to go south.

This made Fan very depressed.

Shi Xie has been dead for nearly a month, but he has not been buried for too many reasons.

According to the past etiquette, Fan needs to wait for all the people who should go to mourn before he will be buried in the presence of some people.

I've been waiting for a month now, and I'm probably going to wait for more.

Lu Wu pondered, even if Shi Xie's body was frozen, how long could it be kept?

Because the state of Chu sent troops again, the army heading south did not know when it would return to the division, and it was not known what kind of choice the Fan clan would make.

In either case, it's not normal for a funeral to drag on for too long.

Again, Fan's funeral did not end for a day, unless Luan Shu was willing to give up his blood, or the Chinese army would remain in a semi-crippled state.

This semi-cripplement refers to Fan's inability to send troops, resulting in the Chinese army not being able to reach its full strength.

It was because of this that Wei Xiang said that Shi Xie died at the right time.

As soon as Shi Xie died, the Fan family fell into a shutdown, no matter which family the Fan family had with before, unless the covenant could be renewed, otherwise it would not be counted again.

In this way, it is equivalent to Fan's breaking free from the whirlpool of domestic chaos.

In addition, the Shilu had a good reason not to pay for at least one year, so he did not have to participate in any conquest.

The credit or something is actually not very important to the Fan family, they have already passed the class that needs to use merit to improve, as long as the family strength is not too damaged, several generations can live on the merit book of their ancestors.

While they were chatting, Wei Jie came.

"The king ordered the army to assemble, first mourn Fan Wenzi, and then go south to reinforce the marshal." Wei Jie said.

Fan Wenzi?

Wei Xiang asked, "Has the name of the Chinese army been decided?" ”

That's a good nickname!

It's still the kind that has never been better.

There are many types of nicknames, but "Wen" and "Wu" are the best.

The use of "Wen" represents the talent of the world, or at least diligent and studious.

The late Shixie did not have too impressive achievements in military affairs, and in fact, it was not the turn of domestic governance.

It's already great to have the nickname "Wen".

Whether it is now or in the future, in fact, the nickname of "Wu" represents the highest achievement.

The nickname "Wu" represents the great achievement of expanding the territory or quelling the trouble.

Wei Xiang said: "Your Majesty...... has the heart to win over the Fan family, but it is difficult to influence the 'Qing'. ”

It can't be said that Shixie has no achievements in military affairs at all, as long as he is willing to affirm, he can actually give the nickname of "Wu".

And the nickname is not only the greatest honor for the deceased, but also the capital of a family?

If Shi Xie's nickname is "Wu", the Fan family will be very happy, and even the family's development strategy will change.

It is a pity that Shi Xie's military achievements are not shining enough, and the monarch has no real decision-making power.

Lu Wu said: "I'll go with you to mourn." ”

As for going on the march?

The lower army was not given the order to assemble.

Luan Shu has already gone south.

This time, the monarch, the general of the upper army, Yin Qi and the upper army Zuo Zhongxingyan, will all go south.

In addition, the new army general Yin Li and the new army Zuo Hao were in the south as early as possible.

Han Ju, the general of the lower army who did not go on the expedition, will take care of the country, and Zuo Zhigang of the lower army will serve as his deputy.

When you come to Fan's fiefdom, you can see Su Min everywhere.

It's just that it's hard to see any sadness on Li Shu's face.

The fact is also like this, no matter how great the sadness will be fading because of the passage of time, not to mention those who really feel sadness are those direct relatives.

It is difficult for Li Shu to get benefits from the nobility in these years, and it is good not to be excessively exploited.

I hope Li Shu can have a sad color?

It had to be because Shi Xie was very gracious when he was alive.

The army did not make any stops, and continued south directly through Fan's fiefdom.

The monarch and several "secretaries", including some nobles who had come to mourn, were only accompanied by a small number of guards and arrived at a large manor.

Shilu went out five miles to greet him.

When he saw the procession of mourners, he howled and cried.

Then, Fan's people wept bitterly.

Lu Wu saw that they were just howling, and no one had tears on their faces.

This point cannot be said that the people of the Fan family are cold-blooded.

is still the same sentence, Shi Xie has been dead for more than a month, even if the people of the Fan clan are sad, after more than a month has passed, the grief will have an end, and those who really can't control it will have long since fallen ill, or simply gone with Shi Xie.

The monarch stepped forward to care.

A few "Qing" who came also comforted Shilu.

The rest?

The status is not enough, and it is not their turn to go up and care about Shilu.

How many people are sincere?

It's just that because of etiquette, the living do it for the living.

The funeral was naturally solemn.

Lu Wu is what others are, he will follow them, and there is no superfluous action.

He deliberately observed the burial object.

There was clearly a reparation, a chariot, a number of weapons and armor, and then there were model houses, musical instruments, birds and beasts, and figurines.

Because the time of Lu Wu's rise was too short, he never participated in the funeral of a big man, and he didn't know what specifications those funeral goods were.

He looked at some of the plain women who were really crying so much, and thought, "Are they going to be buried?" ”

Of course, there were martyrs in this year.

The Central Plains, which emphasized the state of etiquette, was most popular in the state of Lu with the burial of living people, and it was often hundreds of thousands of people who accompanied a certain big man into the ground.

On the side of the Chu State, the Chu monarchs of the past dynasties rarely carried out martyrdom, but those feudal monarchs were more ferocious than the other.

What is the situation on the Jin side?

The monarch, as well as Yin Qi and Zhongxingyan, left without a long delay because they needed to go south.

A group of nobles, including Han Ju, Zhifu and Lü Wu, stayed to observe the process of Shixie's entry into the tomb.

Lü Wu discovered that Fan was not buried with a living person.

From here, it can also be found that the Jin Kingdom did not prevalent in the burial of living people.

Otherwise, why do the dignified "Qing" have to bring a batch of them, right?

However, there were actually martyrs in the Jin Kingdom.

It depends on each family's own choice.

It's just that the implementation of the people-oriented Jin Kingdom, the role of labor is very clear, if you want to engage in funeral, you generally choose some servants or maids, and they may also be some people who the deceased liked very much.

Han Ju and Ji Gang also left after Shi Xie's tomb was sealed.

The "Qing" who came was uneven, and he didn't stay for too long, so he left in too much hurry.

It is equivalent to saying that Shixie's funeral was very shabby to some extent.

This shabby is not how many burial objects there are, and what about the rules of burial objects.

To put it bluntly, there is less row of noodles!

I don't know if Fan will have any resentment because of this?

It's Lu Wu and Wei Xiang...... and so on, the younger generation who had a friendship with Shilu chose to stay.
