Chapter 9, two birds fall, one day rises

Cheng Yao, Zhang Jing, Pei Xian, Xun Sui and others discussed privately, and King Zhao's practice of Zuo was called the emperor, everything was ready, and only "Xiangrui" was owed.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: Ying Tong" cloud: "Where the emperor will prosper, the sky will see the people first." This was originally the idea of the Yin and Yang family and the scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then introduced Confucianism by Dong Zhongshu, Liu Xin and others, which conformed to the meaning of "heaven and man induction", and became the practice of the new dynasty. Therefore, since Shi Le wants to be the emperor, he naturally has to be "auspicious" first, and thus determine the "virtue" of the new dynasty.

But where is the auspiciousness? Naturally, some people are completely unconvinced—for example, Pegai—that everything that is auspicious is mostly man-made; Cheng Yao and the others naturally didn't think so, but Xiangrui didn't take the initiative to come, so they needed to dig carefully. So Cheng Yao took care of Pei and Xun to check the classics, and looked for clues in the concert where all parties gathered, while he and Zhang Jing toured inside and outside Xiangguo City to see what could be attached...... Ah no, there is a hint of heaven.

After discussing and dispersing, Cheng Ziyuan took a ride around the city first, and then planned to go out to the suburbs. But when I arrived in front of the West Gate, I suddenly saw a horse galloping, saying that there was a foreign object contributed to King Zhao by Chiping County.

Hearing the word "foreign object", Cheng Yadang even had his heart in mind, but called the messenger to him and asked him, "What is the offering?" The messenger reported: "It is Chi Ping Ling who recently shot a black rabbit, its color is pure and mysterious, without a single stray hair, it is really rare......

Chiping County belongs to the plain country, just on the north bank of the Yellow River, and its county order is called Shi Huan. Shi Huan is a native of Chiping, rich in land, tenants, slaves and maids, I think Shi Le was sold from his hometown Shangdangwu Township rope bundle, and it was Shi Huan who bought him.

Shi Shilong is a Caucasians, his appearance is already good, plus his physique is great, unlike other Hu Nu, Shi Huan felt that this was not an ordinary serf, so he let him go as soon as he was happy.

- Of course, in the history books of later generations, it is said that an old man suddenly appeared and said that Shi Le "has achieved the four ways on the hairline of the fish and dragon, and he should be the master of the people." At the age of Jiaxu, Wang Pengzu can be pictured. With that, he vanished. Later, Shile often heard the sound of drums and horns in the field, and the slaves also heard it, Shile said that I often heard this sound when I was a child (probably an old problem of tinnitus for decades), and the slaves told Shi Huan, and Shi Huan liberated Shi Le.

The land of the Shi family was adjacent to the pasture of the Ji family, so Shi Le claimed to be able to take a horse and threw himself into the ranch to work, which was appreciated by the rancher Ji Sang. Shi Lenai summoned the "Eighteen Horsemen", stole the horses, bribed Jisang, and soon followed Jisang to raise troops, which took his first step in competing for dominance in the world.

Therefore, Shi Lepo De Shi Huan - the old master treated me well, and took the initiative to let me be a commoner - and when he occupied Jizhou until Chiping, he personally went to the door to ask Shi Huan to come out to be an official. However, Shi Huan was not an ambitious person, and his ability was also modest, so he didn't dare to gallop in the troubled times, so he refused to accept it. In desperation, Shi Le finally decided: Then I will reward Chiping to you, so that you can be a county magistrate in your hometown.

Let's say that Shi Huan occasionally hunted a black rabbit, and felt very novel—it was rare to see a rabbit with such a pure coat—and sent someone to sacrifice it to Shi Le. After Cheng Yao learned about this, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea, and hurriedly ran to Shi Le and said, "This is an auspicious Rui from heaven." Then he explained: "Jin is Jinde, and the winner is water; The rabbit is the first beast, and its skin is also water-colored. This shows that the king will prosper with virtue in water and virtue in gold. ”

Shi Le was confused and skeptical, but he still ordered the black rabbit to be skinned, and wrapped around his waist.

Soon, Zhang Jing also had a harvest there, it is said that he listened to children's singing in the streets and alleys of Xiangguo, and the word cloud: "Two birds fall, one day rises, those who die win when they die, and those who are similar in flesh and blood win." Zhang Jing's knowledge was limited and he couldn't solve it, so he asked Cheng Yao, but Cheng Ziyuan was also confused, and the two went to visit Pei Xian together.

Pei Xian Pei Jingsi came out of a famous family - of course it was the Pei family - a young man, but after the weak crown, he changed his behavior, visited famous teachers, turned his knots to learn, and the foundation of Confucianism is very deep, which is the crown of the current Shi Zhao regime. After he heard about the rumor, he thought about it for a while, and then he got his satisfaction, so he explained it to Cheng and Zhang in detail:

"Two birds and one day, is a Jin character (the ancient style of the Jin character, the upper is two "to", the lower is a "day", and the "to" is the image of the bird falling,) this means that the Jin will be weakened, and there is no red sun rising. So why is this day? Up and down, it's a word, similar flesh and blood, Xiao also, go Xiao for Zhao (Zhao) - this is exactly to say that Jin will be defeated and Zhao will be Xing! ”

Cheng and Zhang were overjoyed and hurriedly ran to report to Shile. Shi Le asked: "I know that Han is a fire virtue, but I don't know how to promote Jin to Jinde, what is the proof?" ”

Zhang Jingxin said badly, Pei Xian should be brought over to report to King Zhao, I have heard of Jin Jinde, but how to research and come to this conclusion, I haven't thought about it at all! Hurriedly turned his head sideways and looked at Cheng Yao. Fortunately, Cheng Ziyuan had done his homework in advance because of the black rabbit matter, and immediately explained in a similar manner:

"Han is the virtue of fire, fire gives birth to earth, so Wei is the virtue of earth; The earth was resurrected to gold, so it was promoted to Jinde. And the minister heard that there was a nursery rhyme in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cloud: 'The book is like a white pit broken, and the collection is held.' Yangzhou was broken and defeated, and Wuxing was overturned. 'Gold is white, so what is referred to is Jin Zuo, is to say that Jin is dilapidated, the pit (a kind of pottery) fragments are made into a curtain, and the restoration is extended to Yangzhou Wuxing - what is said is not Sima Ruihu?

From this, it can be seen that the Jin Dynasty will eventually break, at least north of the Yangtze River, it will be owned by the water virtuous - the five elements are born together, and gold is born of water. There is a rumor in the city today, that is, Yun Zhao will be the Jin, and the Zhao family is originally out of Tianshui, and Tianshui should be the water virtue - the ancestor of the former Han Dynasty set up a shrine in Shangtai to worship the Black Emperor, and restored Shangtai County to Tianshui County, that is, it should be combined with the water phase.

"As the king said, Liu Han was originally a fire virtue, and Emperor Guangwen wanted to revive the fire virtue, but the fire Kejin could not be born to win, so he could only ruin the Jin Dynasty, and could not replace it. Those who can represent Jin are the only ones who are the Zhao of Virtue! ”

——The rumor that "it is like a white pit breaking" is thousands of miles away, and it was revealed to Cheng Yao by Wang Gong in his previous secret book.

Although Cheng Yao explained with his heart, Shi Le was still confused when he heard it, so he asked: "If the will of heaven is like this, what about people's hearts?" Cheng and Zhang retreated. So in the next few days, the ministers of Xiangguo played one after another, expressing their opinions on whether Shi Le should be proclaimed emperor as soon as possible, playing and writing, and piled up Shi Le's desk.

Of course, Shile would not look—he did not know how to read—but ordered his attendants to read them one by one. Those Hu Chenqian will ask someone to write it on their behalf, and most of the Jin ministers' tables are four and six, piling up allusions, and Shi Lelian Sancheng can't understand it, and he feels dizzy. So he waved his hand and said don't read it, you divide the chapter into one point, and persuade me to quickly put aside those who are emperors, and oppose those who are eager to be emperors to put on the other side.

As a result, there was a thick stack on the left side of the case, but there was only one article on the right side of the case - this one was against the emperor.

Shile ordered it to be read and explained in detail.

This article was written by an intermediate Jin official, who wrote 3,000 words, but did not analyze the situation, but only affirmed the righteousness, saying that Liu Yuan was kind to Shi Le that day, and since his children and grandchildren were not dead, Shi Le really should not covet fame and position, and claim to be respected. Then he said that Zhang Mengsun is a master of the world, even if his opinions are different from those of others, King Zhao should follow them, so as to be "good"......

When Shile heard this, he was furious, and immediately ordered the official to be bound and his head cut off for disrespect. Or Zhang Jing came to persuade him, saying that although this person is rebellious, but when he is winning people's hearts, it is not appropriate to kill people because of his words, please show mercy to Shi Ledao, and send him to the army as a pawn.

Cheng Yao and others collected auspicious rui everywhere, Zhang Mengsun just shook his head and laughed when he heard about it, but as soon as this matter came out, he finally realized that something was wrong, and then through special channels, he heard Cheng Yao's play with Shi Le that day, and couldn't help but sigh: "The villain seized power and deceived the king, I fell into its trap without knowing it...... Am I really getting old?! ”

Obviously, the important ministers, including Zhang Bin, have already expressed their stance directly in front of Shi Le, and they may not be on the table, regardless of it for the time being, even among the middle-level generals, those who oppose Shi Le's claim to be emperor will definitely not be just such a lonely stamp. However, Wenchen's recitals are all sorted out and passed on by the long history - theoretically those that are not in accordance with the norms, or empty words, the long history can be directly dismissed - and the left and right long histories are Zhang Jing and Pei Xian respectively; The military generals played the table, and they had to go through the right and left Sima Cheng Yao and Zhang Quliu. Those people were all in favor of Shile as emperor, and they could have managed to suppress their opposition.

As for the one handed to Shi Le, the words were indeed wild, as if they were deliberately trying to provoke Shi Le, and then Zhang Jing stopped Shi Le from killing him...... Maybe it was instructed by the voter!

Zhang Mengsun couldn't help but recite the sentence of Qu Zi's "Lisao": "But this party member is not forgiving, and he is afraid of jealousy and folding." "The ministers are all short-sighted, they can't see the general trend of the world clearly, they only hope that Shi Le will practice the emperor's throne as soon as possible, and they will ascend to heaven with good chickens and dogs, and it will be difficult for them to understand my correct opinion! If this continues, no matter how much Shi Le trusts me, it will inevitably be pointed out by thousands of people...... Forget it, forget it, I'd better take a step back for the time being and keep quiet.

So he claimed to be sick and did not go out again for several days.

At this time, the Jin envoy also came from Luoyang to persuade Shi Le to abandon the Hu Han regime, which was already declining, and to join Wanghua. The conditions offered by Luoyang are that Feng Shile will be the Duke of Zhao and the general of Che Cai, and he will supervise the military of Ji, You, and the three prefectures - but you have to spit out the six counties of Hanoi, Ji, Wei, and Guangping, which belong to Sizhou.

The key is that these areas are close to the heart of Henan, and they have been pinched in the hands of Shi Le, and the Jin family is categorically unable to rest assured.

Before Shi Le could express his position, the generals under his command were furious first - not to mention that the six counties are vast and too plastered, now our base camp Xiangguo is in Guangping County, how can it be possible to move?! Shi Sheng was furious, and he drew his sword and was about to cut the Jin envoy, but was stopped by Shi Le on the spot. Immediately Shi Le inquired in detail about the situation of the Jin Dynasty, and after learning that the seven seals had all returned to the Jin Dynasty, and that the Liu kings were half captured and were about to be executed, he smiled and said: "I know it, you can retire temporarily, let me think about it." ”

When the Jin envoy retreated, Cheng Yao and the others wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Shi Le waving his hand. Immediately, he ordered someone to visit Zhang Bin's condition, and asked the right marquis by rumor: "Now that the national seal has entered the Jin Dynasty, can I not be honored yet?" ”

The envoy came back after a short time to report, saying that the law enforcement was not very sick, but his voice was hoarse, it was difficult to speak, for the question of King Zhao, he just waved his hand and gestured, and then wrote down the words "only from respect".

Shile laughed "haha", and without saying that the meeting was dismissed, he turned around and returned to the inner room. Cheng Yao, Zhang Jing and others understood, and after they went down, they connected everywhere and jointly signed a persuasion seal. Almost all of the ministers of Jin Qian signed their names, and even Shi Hu, Jiao'an, Wang Yang, etc., who were out of town, since they had expressed their positions before, Cheng Yao also directly filled in their names. The seal was ready, and he was about to submit it, when he saw Zhang Bin swaggering in, and stretched out his hand to ask Cheng Yao for pen and ink.

Cheng Ziyuan scolded in his heart, but he couldn't stop it, so he had to let Zhang Bin insert his name in front of his name...... So Shi Hu led the way, followed by Shi Sheng, Shi Bin, Shi Kan, and then Zhang Bin, Jiao'an, Pei Xian, Xun Xuan, Cheng Yao, Zhang Jing, Zhang Quliu...... A total of 324 people jointly pleaded with Shile to ascend the throne.

Shi Le took the table, and finally no longer shirked, that is, he ascended the throne in the next month, assumed the name of Zhao Tianwang, did the emperor's business, and set the year name as Jianping. He made his wife Liu the queen of heaven, Cheng as the concubine, and Shi Hong as the prince, and increased the number of singles.

Feng Shihu was the Tai Lieutenant, the King of Taiyuan, the Governor and the military of the state; Shi Sheng is the king of Hejian, Shi Bin is the king of Zhongshan, and Shi Kan is the king of Changshan. With Xuan An as the left servant of the book, Cheng Yao as the right servant and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, Guo Ao, Guo Yin, Li Feng, Pei Xian, Xun Xuan, etc. Zhang Jing is the secretary of the order, and Xu Guang is the secretary and supervisor. On merit, there were 12 public and 23 Hou of the founding county, 21 county dukes and 26 Hou people, and the rest of the civil and military personnel were different.

Invited by Ren Bo and others in the service, Zhao Chengjin is the water virtue, the banner is still Xuan, the cattle are still white, and the sub-society is ugly.

As for Zhang Bin, worship as the Taifu, the military of the six counties of Jiadu Governor, the Duke of Yan County, the founder of the country, is above the hundred officials, and allows him to praise the nameless, enter the court, and go to the palace with a sword.

This appointment seems to be noble, but in fact, it deprives Zhang Bin of his right to speak on national affairs and civil affairs, and orders him to specialize in the war against Jin on the Eastern Front. Zhang Mengsun said in his heart that it was okay - I wanted to serve the Han Dynasty, and the role of Xiao Cheng was handed over to others; It's just that Jiao'an, Cheng Yao, etc., I'm afraid they can't afford that heavy responsibility...... I should pay attention to your majesty's talents, so that you can coordinate political affairs.

It's a pity that Pei Wenyue ran away, if he is here, he may be able to be Prime Minister Xiao. And if I join forces with Pei Gai, I will definitely be able to restrain Cheng Yao's villain and not let him run rampant so much......

And looking at the current trend of Pei Wenyue, Yu Jin is almost left behind by Hou and Xiao Xiangzhi, and Zu Li is only Han Xin...... I don't know if Pei should really have the wisdom to stay in the marquis? On the other day, I should take a good look at it, and I really have a win or loss with him. But breaking the ancestors and approaching Luoyang, they can compete with Pei Gai!
