Chapter 320: Two Trash! (3rd Update)
As the monarch of Zhao State and one of the overlords of the world today, Zhao Dan's every move has attracted much attention.
In addition, Zhao Dan came with an army of tens of thousands of people this time, and it was certainly impossible for Luoyi to be unaware.
Seeing that Luoyi was gradually enlarging in Zhao Dan's sight, someone suddenly came to say: "King, there are Eastern Zhou Dukes and Western Zhou Dukes offering gifts on the side of the road, and they want to ask to see the king!" ”
"Duke of the Eastern Zhou, Duke of the Western Zhou?" Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, revealing a rather meaningful look: "These two guys, they still have some eyesight...... Call them over. ”
Just when Zhao Dan issued the summoning order, at the city gate of Luoyi, two teams of men and horses were facing each other on both sides of the road.
At the head were two noble, richly dressed men with princely crowns on their heads, and if you look closely, you will find that their faces are somewhat similar.
I saw the slender horse-faced aristocratic man on the left side of the road shouting: "The traitor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, you have stolen it for a long time, and you will not return it to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible!" ”
The fat round-faced aristocratic man on the right side of the road was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "The rebel minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, you have held the Son of Heaven hostage for many years, and I don't know how many people with lofty ideals in the world hate, how dare you make such wild remarks in front of me?" If one day it falls into my hands, I will tear your chariot to death! ”
The two of them came and went without the demeanor of an aristocratic person, which attracted the side glances of many passing merchants, and someone asked others in a low voice: "Who are these two people, why are they doing such a woman scolding the street here?" ”
An insider sneered: "This is the famous Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Western Tuesday Gongye." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around them immediately let out an "oh", and then their faces showed expressions of "it turned out to be these two fools", and they dispersed.
Just when the Duke of Eastern Zhou and the Duke of Western Zhou were spraying vigorously, a sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and a moment later, a messenger of Zhao appeared in front of the two of them, with a proud expression: "The king has a word, so that you and the two of you will meet at the same time!" ”
The Duke of Eastern Zhou and the Duke of Western Zhou looked at each other, snorted at each other, and then turned their heads to the messenger at the same time and smiled: "The messenger is tired of leading the way." ”
A moment later, the two came to King Zhao Dan's car.
The two didn't dare to slack off, and immediately dismounted and saluted: "I've seen King Zhao!" ”
Even at this time, the two did not forget to glare at each other fiercely.
Zhao Dan sat on top of the king's car, condescendingly looking at the two incompatible guys in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Originally, Zhou Tianzi was so much on the territory, but as a result, two countries had to be separated, isn't this nonsense?
You must know that the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are all titles given by historians in later generations, and there is no such thing as "King of the Western Zhou Dynasty" and "King of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" in these years.
Therefore, this Duke of Western Zhou and Duke of Eastern Zhou are not Zhou Tianzi, but the princes of Zhou Tianzi......
Yes, a few decades ago, Zhou Tianzi at that time divided his last bit of territory into two countries, one was the Western Zhou and the other was the Eastern Zhou.
This is the origin of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The funniest thing is that these two families originally came from the same source, and the grandfathers of the Western Zhou Gong and the Eastern Zhou Gong were both the same Zhou Tianzi, but now the two families are shouting and shouting to kill, eager to break each other's corpses into thousands of pieces.
Zhao Dan coughed and said to the Duke of Western Zhou: "Where is the Son of Heaven?" ”
When the Duke of Western Zhou heard this, his body was shocked, and the Son of Heaven was now frightened by the movement of your tens of thousands of troops, and now he is hiding in the city and trembling.
But what the Duke of Western Zhou said when he opened his mouth was: "Back to the king, the Son of Heaven is unwell and is cultivating. ”
In fact, the hearts of the three people present were all bright, this week Tianzi was recuperating, and he was obviously embarrassed to meet him because he wanted to save face, so he couldn't hide it......
If Zhao Dan is not mistaken, the current Zhou Tianzi is the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Hao.
Since they are all the kings of the dead country, let's save a little face for him.
So Zhao Dan turned his head again and said to the Duke of Eastern Zhou: "The widow heard that the sacrificial utensils such as the Son of Heaven Jiuding are located in Rucheng Zhou? ”
As soon as the Duke of Eastern Zhou heard this, he felt bad and hurriedly said: "Back to the king, the Son of Heaven Jiuding is indeed located in Chengzhou, but this thing is a tool of the Son of Heaven, if it is used rashly, it is a transgression, I am afraid it is a bad omen." ”
When the king of Chu won the championship, the ministers of the Zhou Dynasty used this statement to block the king of Chu back.
But when Zhao Dan heard this, he didn't have any fear of bad omen in his heart, but felt a little funny.
Now that the Seven Heroes of the Warring States are all kings, which one of them is not overstepping? I didn't see any bad omen.
The widow doesn't believe in the ghosts and gods again, okay, don't eat your set!
Therefore, Zhao Dan waved his hand and said directly: "The widow wants to meet the kings of the alliance in Luoyi, due to the inconvenience of transportation, as soon as the sacrificial utensils are used, they will borrow the things of Chengzhou first!" Does the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have any opinions? ”
It is now 258 BC, and according to historical records, in 256 BC, King Hao of Zhou will be finished, and then all these sacrificial things, including those within Jiuding, will be taken to the Qin people.
The things sacrificed in these years are very sacred, rather than cheap Qin people, it is better for Zhao Dan to start first and get Handan.
Dong Zhougong's face was distressed, and he looked obviously entangled, but where did he dare to say a word? I can only agree to it.
On the contrary, the Western Zhou Gong on the side gloated, and looked at the Eastern Zhou Gong with a smile in his eyes.
Zhao Dan glanced at this Western Zhou Gong and remembered that this guy was not a good bird.
It was precisely because this guy instigated King Hao of Zhou to oppose the State of Qin, so King Hao of Zhou was killed by Wang Ji of Qin who found an excuse.
Since this is the case, then the widow will also teach this Western Zhou Duke a lesson, so that he can also instigate King Hao of Zhou to deal with the widowed Zhao State in the future!
So Zhao Dan smiled and said to the Duke of the Western Zhou: "The Duke of the Western Zhou, if the land is freezing today, it is inconvenient for the widow army to come from afar to transport military grain, I heard that the treasury of the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty has enough food, why don't you lend a batch of grain to the widow for emergency one or two?" ”
"Huh?" When the Duke of Western Zhou heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Although it was nominally borrowed, the Duke of the Western Zhou knew in his heart that once these grains and grass were lent out, they would be meat buns and dogs, and there would be no return.
Give the Duke of Western Zhou a few guts, he didn't dare to let Zhao Dan return the grain.
This time, it was the schadenfreude that became the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The Duke of Western Zhou thought about it for a long time, and finally said stubbornly: "What King Zhao said is very true, I am willing to sacrifice 2,000 stone of grain to the king to solve the king's lack of food." ”
Zhao Dan was hehehe.
With an army of 20,000 outnumbered men, plus at least 30,000 or 40,000 people such as attendants and servants, why do you give 2,000 stone of grain?
What about sending Hanako?
Since you are so uninteresting, then don't blame the widow for not giving you face.
So Zhao Dan waved his hand and said extremely decisively: "Since the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty has this intention, then there is no need to bother the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty to transport grain!" Later, the widow will order someone to enter the city to transport grain, and the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty only needs to let people open a warehouse! ”
When the Duke of Western Zhou heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
Zhao Dan is going to empty all the treasury of the royal city, and there will be no food left!
Zhao Dan looked at the Duke of Western Zhou in front of him with a smile, but there was a bit of chill in his tone: "What, is the Duke of Western Zhou unwilling?" ”
The face of the Duke of Western Zhou changed again and again, and finally lowered his head in despair: "But what the king said." ”
Zhao Dan snorted and said to Yu Xin and Li Bo beside him: "Yu Qing, Li Qing, have you heard both of you?" Later, the matter of carrying sacrificial utensils and grain and grass will be personally responsible for the two of you, each with an army! ”
Yu Xin and Li Bo naturally responded loudly.
Zhao Dan turned his head and looked at the Duke of Western Zhou and the Duke of Eastern Zhou with a look of disgrace, without the slightest sympathy in his heart.
The huge country left by King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu back then was lost by the descendants of these powerless wastes!
In Hu Yiwei's intelligence, it has long been clear that in addition to nesting in this palm-sized place every day to calculate each other, the Eastern Zhou Duke and the Western Zhou Duke are trying every means to exploit the people and enjoy a luxurious life.
As for the kind of angry and inspirational things like that, there is no such thing.
Waste like this is not worthy of sympathy at all!
