Chapter 138: The First Warrior of the Jin Kingdom
The state of Lu was appointed by the Zhou royal family when it was divided.
To put it bluntly, this "country of etiquette and music" is a country that manages "etiquette" and "music".
Now people may think that they are not just the administrator of an art troupe? How great it can be.
However, according to the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu State, as the "Land of Rites and Music", really held a lot of authority.
First of all, "rites" were the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, and what kind of rules were formulated to become a system that all vassal states must follow.
In this way, it can be understood that Lu Guo has the right to interpret the system.
Nowadays, music is very sacred, and it is generally used in very formal and solemn occasions, especially when performing sacrifices, music must not be missing.
Modern people must have heard the phrase "the major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong", and the "worship" in it is ranked in front of the "Rong".
"Rong" is conquest, and "ritual" is ranked in front of "Rong", which is enough to prove that at least in the Spring and Autumn Period, people valued sacrifice more than military defense.
Lu Guo mastered "etiquette" and "music" and became the rule-makers, and they were proud of it, and they were proud of it.
Later, Lu Guo was given another authority, that is, the right to record history.
To put it bluntly, each of the vassal states divided by the Zhou royal family has a historian from the Lu State, who is responsible for recording what happened to each vassal state, and recording it becomes a part of history.
Now there are two world-famous "libraries", one in the "Cheng Zhou" of the Zhou royal family, and the other in the "Qufu" of the Lu state.
It has a very large collection of books, some of which are even written objects of the Xia Dynasty.
More are poems from vassal states, as well as documents that record the life trajectories of the monarchs and ministers of the nations.
The surname is Li Ming'er, the word Dan, that is, Lao Tzu, who was born just two years ago.
In the future, he will become the "librarian" of the Zhou royal family, and he will work hard and time-consumingly to sort out the books in the "library", study and digest them to write his own works.
Zi's surname, Kong's family, Mingqiu, and the word Zhongni, that is, Confucius, he will become the administrator of the "library" of Lu State in the future, and he spent a lot of energy to organize that "library", ruined a lot of books he didn't like, and promoted his favorite books, and made his own genre.
This is an abuse of power!
Destroy what you don't like.
What I like is to locate the must-read anthology.
The first authority dog in history has appeared!
However, the state of Lu, which has such heavy authority, has not grown.
Until now, the Lu State has been hammered to the ground by the Qi State, and without the protection of the boss of the Jin State, I don't know if it can continue to exist.
Because he knew who to rely on for protection in order not to destroy the country, the national policy pursued by the Lu State was to serve the Jin State well.
What makes Lu Guo more entangled is that they are obviously so awesome, but they are pressed by Qi Guo, and they have to serve Jin Guo well, and they feel that their noble faces have been lost.
So much so that the Lu State, which holds those powers, on the one hand, does not dare to offend the Jin State, but on the other hand, he can't help but always hack the Jin State in the history books.
They don't care what it's called, they think they're doing their duty.
Lu Guo, who had contradictions in his heart, their monarch was originally going to personally lead the army to report, but halfway through hearing that Jin Jun did not personally recruit, Lu Jun scolded "bad luck", and after seeing King Zhou Jian, he turned back to China.
It was Luan Shu who was dispatched by the Jin State, and he was the marshal, ruling and general of the Jin State.
Lu is a very "principled" country.
Since the Jin State dispatched Luan Shu, they chose to govern Ji Sun Xingfu to lead the Lu army.
"Yin Wuzi is a doctor?" Ji Sun Xing's father had the heart to go over to see the situation, and when he thought that he was in power, how could he succumb to a doctor, and said: "Where is Wuyi? β
This is called Wuyi, the son of Ji Sun Xing's father.
The Lu State treats the Jin State as an equal.
Monarch to monarch, ruler to ruler, and so on, or title.
Wu Yi soon arrived, accompanied by a young man who looked tall.
This young man's name is Shu Liang Su.
He was the father of Confucius.
At the same time, he is also a small nobleman in the Lu State, and his food is in Yiyi.
"Nothing." Ji Sun Xing's father looked at his son and said in a commanding tone, "Go here." You should know how to do it. β
Wu Yi has its own prefix, and his full name is Gongsun Wu Yi.
The meaning of this "Gongsun" is very straightforward, it is about the ancestors who have been broad.
He looked at the busy crowd in front of him, and also saw Lu Wu, who was directing the construction of the camp, saluting his father, taking his entourage and leaving.
The auxiliaries of the old Lu family noticed the arrival of the stranger for the first time.
They could identify the strangers as nobles by looking at their clothes, but they were not sure which country they were.
Gongsun Wuyi kept a straight face all the way and did not talk to people whose status was lower than his own.
Shu Liang Su acted as a communicator, and when asked, he said that he and the others were from Lu and came to find Lu Wu.
When Lu Wu saw Gongsun Wuyi, he was full of surprise, but he maintained his demeanor.
After the two sides finished saluting, Gongsun Wuyi began to operate.
He ordered his entourage to get a sitting pu and a table, and after fiddling with it, he invited Lu Wu to take a seat.
A very particular scene fell in Lu Wu's eyes, and he knew that it was the nobles of Lu who came, and thought: "The rumors are right, the people of Lu are very talkative." β
Surrounded by busy people, they cut down wood for various processing, and then arranged it into fences, stacked one on top of the other, and then dug ditch after ditch.
The various sounds are noisy.
But there was another row of noodles on the construction site.
"Not introduced?" Gongsun Wuyi stood upright and saluted, introduced his life experience very slowly, and replied: "I have heard the reputation of Yin Wuzi for a long time, and I finally see it today." β
Lu Wu, who was not a celebrity at all, listened to the introduction of the visitor and knew that he was the child of the ruling family of Lu State.
He returned the salute and said, "Gongsun is coming, I can't entertain you, don't be surprised." β
Gongsun Wuyi smiled very politely and asked, "Yin Wuzi and Qing are Han clans, Shang Dafu Wei clans, and Zhao Meng clans are in-laws. What does the Zhi clan and Handan clan value in Deqing? β
What does that mean?
Lu Wu tasted it and guessed a rough idea.
Gongsun Wuyi's words mean one thing, that is, Lu Wu's interpersonal relationship is very complicated, and he has a reputation among other countries, otherwise he would not be willing to come over to make friends.
Lu Wu was almost blocked by this young man's sincerity and didn't know what to say, so he looked at the tall uncle Liang Su without words, and said, "This man, Zhuang Ye." β
Shu Liang Su hurriedly saluted with an honorable face.
Ouch!
The nobles of the kingdom have praised me!
was excited and happy in his heart, but Shu Liangsu didn't say a word.
Actually, the atmosphere of this meeting was really awkward.
Lu Wu didn't have any dealings with Lu Guo, and the two sides didn't have any common topics, and they didn't know how to talk about it.
And Gongsun Wuyi is obviously not a "courtesan", he always holds a shelf, and he doesn't find a topic to talk about in advance.
"If you have a little doubt here, if Yin Wuzi is willing, please let me know." Gongsun Wuyi should have been quite embarrassed in his heart, and he didn't want to continue to be embarrassed, so he asked: "Yin Wuzi was originally in the 'lower army', why did he change to the 'new army'?" β
Lu Wu was a little confused.
When will it be the turn of outsiders to ask about their own family's affairs.
In addition, the old Lu family really has no contact with Lu Guo, and Lu Wu didn't even know who Gongsun Wuyi was before today, so naturally he was not a friend.
Where did Gongsun Wuyi come from?
At the right time, Shu Liang Su stood up, saluted very respectfully, and explained: "My Lu country relies on the protection of the kingdom of Shang, so that I can not be wantonly bullied by the state of Qi, and I dare not treat the affairs of the kingdom with care. β
Lu Wu raised his eyebrows, and motioned for Shu Liang Su to continue.
Shu Liang Su glanced at Gongsun Wuyi and got the signal, looked at Lu Wu again, and continued: "Shangguo's favor to Lu State, I don't dare to forget it even if I am a 'villain'. If the kingdom takes action, it will do its best. β
The words are still too tactful, and if you don't have any associative ability, you will hear it in a fog.
In addition, the pronunciation of some words of the Lu people is different from that of the Jin people, and Lu Wu needs to listen carefully to roughly guess what he is talking about.
In general, they came over this time to inquire how Lu Wu could be transferred to the "new army" to serve.
And the reason for their concern is simple.
The last time he allied with the Chu Kingdom, the monarch of the Jin State personally mentioned that Lu Wu was the first warrior of the Jin Kingdom.
Regardless of whether LΓΌ Wu was the first warrior of the Jin Kingdom or not, the monarchs of the Jin Kingdom said so, and his reputation must have spread to the nations.
The Lu State, who did not dare to turn a blind eye to the affairs of the Jin Kingdom, had always cared about any changes in the Jin Kingdom.
In fact, the least of the nations to see the Jin State weakened must be the Lu State.
They knew that there were many contradictions within the Jin Kingdom, and the first time Ji Sun Xing's father saw Lu Wu, what he thought in his mind was that the first warrior of the Jin Kingdom was transferred to the "New Army", does it mean that the first warrior of the Jin Kingdom can't even tolerate his own first warrior?
Lu Wu listened to it for a long time, understood Gongsun Wuyi's intention, and said with a smile: "Wu is now a 'military captain', and this 'new army' is just a great relief for his worries." β
A question mark popped up in Gongsun Wuyi's mind.
He can understand who Lu Wu said "big", but he doesn't know what problems Zhao Zhan is encountering at the moment.
Lu Wu didn't like this kind of awkward socialization, and then he didn't know what to talk about, and he couldn't pull out.
Waiting for Gongsun Wuyi to leave with doubts.
Lu Wu looked at their backs as they walked farther and farther away, and exhaled a breath of meat.
And Gongsun Wuyi went back to see his father.
Ji Sun Xing's father asked Gongsun Wuyi to repeat it in detail, and waved his hand to let Gongsun Wuyi retreat.
As the ruler of the Lu State, of course, Ji Sun Xing's father must always pay attention to the Jin State, he knows how much Handan Zhao is going to withdraw from the competition for the position of Secretary of the Jin State, and he can't guess what Lu Wu, the first warrior of the Jin State, has to do when he goes to the "New Army" at this time.
He called Uncle Liang Su, asked carefully again, and asked Uncle Liang Su what kind of person he thought Lu Wu was.
Shu Liang Su felt that he was fortunate to be able to talk to the ruling government because he was a third life, and he was very nervous throughout the whole process, and when he was asked what kind of person Lu Wu was, he thought about it seriously and said: "Yin Wuzi is a humble gentleman. β
They're guessing.
Lu Wu didn't know a little bit.
That is, today, he met Confucius's father.
