PS: I'm going to rush to the new book list next week, and I'm going to book everyone's recommendation tickets for next week, this is very important, thank you! Tomorrow morning's chapter will be sent ahead of 0:00

……

Mingyue had already unfolded the entire booklet, and found that there was nothing but the paragraph that had been marked with a Dan pen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He had to go back and study it carefully, and what that passage was impressively recorded was what happened in the first year of the beginning of "Spring and Autumn", in the first year of Lu Yin's first reign, Zheng Boke Duan Yan!

That happened more than 400 years ago, when the old monarch of Zheng State, Zheng Wugong, died, and was succeeded by the crown prince, Zheng Zhuang Gong. However, Zheng Zhuanggong's mother Wu Jiang didn't like him, but favored his youngest son Gongshu Duan, and constantly forced Zheng Zhuanggong to increase Duan's fiefdom and give him the important weapon of the country, so that Duan's power became stronger and stronger.

Zheng Guo's minister sacrificed Zhongli to advise Zhuang Gong not to do this, but Zhuang Gong disagreed, saying that "if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." ”

Finally, Duan felt that he was full-fledged and could not bear to succumb to his brother, so he repaired his armor and weapons, gathered the people, prepared the soldiers, horses and chariots, and was about to sneak attack the capital of Zheng Guo and seize the throne, and Wu Jiang, who favored his youngest son, actually planned to open the city gate as an internal response.

In fact, this rebellion has long been seen through by the scheming Zheng Zhuanggong, who deliberately connived at his mother and younger brother, allowing them to act recklessly and show signs of rebellion. After having an excuse to send troops, Zheng Zhuanggong quelled the rebellion in one fell swoop, Gongshu Duan was defeated and fled, and Wu Jiang was also placed under house arrest......

The sweat on her forehead slowly fell, this story, Mingyue knew, but at this moment, when she read it carefully, it was extremely thrilling!

"The teacher of the past does not forget the future, the past does not forget, and the teacher of the future ......"

Mingyue chewed on this sentence and suddenly realized: "Lulingjun, do you want to remind me that the situation in the Zhao Palace is just like Zheng Boke's section now?" ”

Zhao Dan, the royal brother who has just ascended the throne, prefers the mother of the young son, the Empress Dowager Zhao, who has no size merit, but an increasing number of knights, fiefs, and treasures. It's as if history is repeating itself.

In this way, Zhao Wangdan's cold attitude towards Mingyue today and his jealousy make sense.

Mingyue smiled bitterly: "The tree wants to be peaceful and the wind does not stop, it seems that it is really not the right time for me to cross, it is only five years before Changping, and when I met the Qin State and Zhao, I was not only asked by the people of Qi to be hostaged, but also involved in the palace battle." ”

For a while, the air seemed to freeze, and the palace room was full of depression, forcing people to raise their heads.

Under the heavy pressure, Mingyue did not panic, but stood up after closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. He walked around the dormitory with his hands behind his back, this was Mingyue's habit in his previous life, whenever it was difficult to choose something, he had to empty his brain and calm himself down in the constant movement.

The only difference is that those choices in the previous life are just whether to choose liberal arts or science, which university to apply for the college entrance examination, whether to eat in the cafeteria or order takeout today, whether to take the postgraduate examination or not, which position to vote for in the civil service examination, which pair of leather shoes to wear and what tie to wear in the interview, whether to make the materials required by the leader today or tomorrow, whether to drink white or red at the banquet, and which cake to bring to my father's birthday......

But now, it is a life-and-death decision that is about life, one wrong step, and no return!

A huge Zhao Wanggong seems to have become a devouring beast, and he fell between his lips and teeth, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed to pieces.

Yes, he needs to draw a plan for himself, a well-thought-out plan!

After a long time, Mingyue stopped and muttered, "This summons of Lu Lingjun may contain two completely different meanings. ”

"First, he just saw the clues, for fear that Chang'anjun would still be in the dark, so he secretly woke up, so I also followed his example to protect my life, and I would not repeat the mistakes of Gongshu Duan."

"Second, he may also be hinting to me that I can rely on the preference of Empress Dowager Zhao and use her power to take the throne of the state to do the thing of Gongshu Duan seizing the throne of his brother!"

……

Before dawn in the east, the moon on the top of King Zhao's palace hung quietly on the branches, and the palace was silent, only the black-clothed guards and people who were keeping vigil walked around.

At this moment, if someone probes into Chang Anjun's bedroom to watch, they will definitely find a strange scene: Chang Anjun did not sleep well, but sat on the pu mat next to the charcoal basin, his face was cloudy, sometimes meditating, sometimes talking to himself, revealing a trace of weirdness......

No one would have thought that this fifteen-year-old son would be plotting a rebellion and usurpation!

"Let's think about the possibility of the second way......

Following the two possibilities after Lu Lingjun gave a hint, Mingyue conducted a brainstorming.

He is a sober-minded person, and he recognizes a sentence in "The Art of War": know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, and I will lose every battle.

A gentleman is clumsy and ignorant of himself, so when drawing a strategy, he must first find out whether he has the strength to do something, rather than acting rashly on impulse.

Playing with the jade ornament carved into a full moon, Mingyue said to herself: "My current identity is the feudal monarch of Zhao State......"

Feudal monarchy was a special system during the Warring States period. After a series of incidents in the Spring and Autumn Period when the princes were annexed and the emperor stole the country, the newly rising Seven Heroes of the Warring States realized the disadvantages of feudalism and began to centralize power, widely implement the county system, and send bureaucrats who can be appointed and dismissed at any time to govern the localities.

However, the power of the new nobles needed to be guaranteed, and the children of the royal family and meritorious ministers needed to be rewarded, so the feudal monarch came into being. Qin's Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, Zhao's Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Qi's Meng Weijun Tianwen, Yan's Changping Jun Leyi, Chu's Ejun Jun, and Wei's Xinling Jun Wei Wuji were all feudal monarchs, and as top nobles, they received fiefs from the state.

The same is true of his title of "Chang'anjun".

However, although it seems to Lian Po and other generals who have not yet been crowned a sweetheart, for Mingyue, who gave birth to a "different heart", the name of the feudal monarch is chicken ribs.

It's a pity to abandon it, and the food is tasteless!

In the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the Six Princes of the Jin State, they were equivalent to independent princes within the country, and they could pull up a team from the fiefdom to fight at any time. But the power of the feudal monarch in the Warring States period was greatly weakened, except for the "fixed seal" like the Anling Jun of Wei State, the general long-term residence in the national capital, not to go to their own fiefdom to seal, just eat the tax, the right to govern the people is limited, and the military power is not large, so the rebellion of the Shang monarch Wei Ying of the Qin State was quickly extinguished.

Therefore, after examining herself, Mingyue found that although she had obtained a lot of fiefs by relying on the doting of the Queen Mother, they were all empty. He didn't open the mansion and seal it, nor did he cultivate cronies, so he couldn't mobilize the local military and civilians at all, let alone let them follow him.

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "So, I don't have half of my own strength." ”

So it's time to think about the second question, will Empress Dowager Zhao support his usurpation?

Don't even think about it, Mingyue has already shaken her head into a rattle: "It's impossible!" ”

……

After more than a month of getting along, combined with a few words in the historical records, Mingyue almost figured out the temper of the Empress Dowager Zhao.

This mother has a strong personality, a little temper, loves and hates, but is very protective of calves. Also, although they will do it willfully, they will still obey the overall situation in the end......

Although she prefers Mingyue, Zhao Wangdan is also her son, and there is no major fault, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and Mingyue is not sure to persuade her to abolish the matter of establishing a child.

Although the right hand is used more on weekdays, it is more preferred, but without the left hand, it will be bloody and painful......

"If I force her, it will be pampered and arrogant, and not only will I not repay the debt of stealing her son's body, but I will harm her!"

An act of ingratitude, Mingyue can't do.

"Besides, although Empress Dowager Zhao has the name of regent, the real power of Zhao is actually controlled by the general."

During the Warring States period, after political reform, the Seven Heroes had a centralized bureaucracy, and under the monarch, there was a whole set of bureaucratic institutions as a ruling tool, and this bureaucracy was headed by Xianghe General.

The current Xiangbang of Zhao State is Lin Xiangru, the important minister of King Huiwen, and Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, is the support. As for the generals, they were led by Ma Fujun Zhao Hao and the general Lian Po.

These four people are the four pillars of Zhao State, and that day Mingyue heard them speak through the curtain in the main hall of Fengtai, they are all old people who seek the country, not fools who can simply instigate and buy.

"That's a good sentence, the past does not forget the future, the turmoil that occurred in the history of Zhao because of the seizure of the throne is too much, and the four of them will not know it."

In the past month or so, Mingyue has briefly understood the national history of the Zhao State, and what is presented in front of him is a series of shocking coups!

In 444 BC, Zhao Wuxian, the founder of the Zhao State, died, and I don't know if the old guy had a brain pump, and let his five sons not pass it on, but passed on the throne to his nephew Zhao Xianhou. As a result, Zhao Wuxian's son Zhao Huanzi was furious, expelled Zhao Xianhou, and established himself as the king.

After Zhao Huanzi died, the countrymen expelled his son and welcomed back Zhao Xianhou.

This civil strife caused Zhao to lose his position as the head of the Three Jin Dynasty and become Wei Wenhou Ma Zai.

In 400 BC, the true founder of the Zhao state, Zhao Liehou, died, and history repeated itself, and his younger brother Wu Gong became independent. Thirteen years later, Duke Wu died, and the prince of Zhao Liehou beat away the son of Duke Wu, became Marquis of Zhao Jinghou, and officially moved the capital to Handan.

History continued to develop, but the state of Zhao kept repeating the past, in 376 BC, Zhao Jinghou died, Zhao Chenghou succeeded to the throne, Gongzi Sheng fought with him, and made a rebellion.

In 350 BC, the Marquis of Zhao Cheng died. His son Zhao Suhou quarreled with Gongzi again, and there was civil strife.

In short, for more than a hundred years, almost every time Zhao succeeded to the throne, it would give birth to a moth, and this kind of chaos had become a tradition, and every time it exhausted the national strength that the previous generation had accumulated with great difficulty, so it has always been a second-rate country.

As for the dune palace change in the last years of King Zhao Wuling, not to mention, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and Zhao Hao, the king of the horse service, are all witnesses, and they still remember it vividly, and Lian Po Lin is similar, and he has long suggested that King Zhao Huiwen should determine the position of the crown prince early.

In the twenty-second year of King Zhao Huiwen, the epidemic made Gongzi Dan the crown prince, and it was a coincidence that Zhao Dan had just been established as the prince, and the epidemic subsided, and the monarchs and people of Zhao felt that this was the blessing brought by the prince, which became Zhao Dan's biggest political capital. So Zhao Dan was the crown prince for eleven years before succeeding to the throne, although compared to King Wuling and King Huiwen, he seemed a little mediocre, but he was the orthodox successor, with a deep foundation, and was quite popular among the ministers and the people.

In short, striking iron still needs its own hardness, Mingyue herself does not have half of the strength, and she is not sure to persuade the Empress Dowager Zhao to destroy her son in righteousness, and the possibility of obtaining the support of the clan generals is almost zero......

In that case, it's a usurpation of the egg!

"Conclusion, acting rashly will only harm myself, I will be ruined, and I will laugh for the world, and it is more likely that the Zhao State will be in civil strife again, and the Qin people will drive straight in, and the Battle of Changping, and even the siege of Handan will occur in advance......"

He won't do anything he doesn't know more than 50% sure. After thinking about it, the worry on Mingyue's face disappeared, and instead showed a smile: "So, although the Empress Dowager Zhao is eccentric, she is not confused, although I am unhappy with Zhao Dan, I am not prepared to be the king of a country, as for the ...... of King Zhao"

Thinking of Zhao Dan, who couldn't wait to write all his emotions on his face, Mingyue couldn't help laughing, a character like Zhao Dan was put in the unit in the later life, but he was going to be deflated.

"A person like him can't be a scheming and scheming Zheng Zhuang Gong! Although there is Geng Jie between me and him, it is not to the extent of not dying. ”

……

According to Lu Lingjun's previous instructions, Mingyue sat on the pu mat, untied the twine that bound the bamboo slips little by little, and threw the scattered bamboo pieces into the charcoal basin and burned them. Watching the bamboo pieces catch fire and burn, and the ink characters on them gradually disappeared and turned into green smoke, he suddenly laughed.

He thought that the clothes he was wearing, wearing on his waist, holding in his hands, and even the toilet cloth used when urinating and defecating were all precious pre-Qin cultural relics, especially the bamboo slips that were burning in his hands, which was the closest to the original "Zuo Chuan......

He still remembers that it should be in 2012, when a group of Warring States Chu Janes collected by Zhejiang University were exhibited for the first time, and the main content was "Zuo Chuan". At that time, the teacher who taught pre-Qin history in the school was very excited, and kept telling them that this solved the dispute over the authenticity of "Zuo Chuan" and was an epoch-making event.

If that teacher knew that he was burning such a precious artifact, he would probably be so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Thinking like this, Mingyue burned even harder, and hummed a song.

After destroying the evidence, he clapped his hands and stood up, thinking:

"According to the character of Zhao Tong, the king of Luling, he probably sensed that Zhao Dan was going to be unfavorable to me, so he kindly reminded me, instead of instigating me to rebel. If I guessed correctly, Zhao Dan didn't want to put me to death, he just wanted me to go to Qi State as a hostage to ease the offensive of Qin State, and by the way, drive my annoying brother far away, killing two birds with one stone......"

"However, staying in Zhao State, even if the Queen Mother has no intention of Wu Jiang, I have no heart for Uncle Duan, and King Zhao does not have the ability of Zheng Zhuang Gong, but it is difficult to guarantee that some of his cronies will follow the example of the sacrifice Zhong, in order to win the favor of the new king, slander and harm me, now it is okay to have the protection of the Queen Mother, and one day the Queen Mother is not there, I will not be able to stay in Zhao State......"

Although Handan Zhao Palace is comfortable, it has a hidden murderous intention, since staying in Zhao State is also dangerous, why not follow the trend?

When Mingyue first said that he was willing to go to the Qi State, he was afraid of the Qin State and Bai Qi, and he inevitably had an idea in his heart: If I can't change the ending of Changping, it's not bad to go to the Qi State to avoid disaster, although I am a hostage, there will be no shortage of brocade clothes and jade food.

But as soon as this cowardly thought came out, he was quickly driven away, scolding himself for being a coward, how could he be worthy of the love of Empress Dowager Zhao? I am also ashamed to be a traveler who lives again!

After carefully analyzing the plot, he made up his mind to go to the Qi Kingdom for the second time, not to escape, but to build momentum for himself......

Yes, although Qin Guo and Bai Qi sound so terrible and invincible in the world, Mingyue still wants to change the tragedy of the Battle of Changping in her heart!

He's going to turn the tide! Not only for the identity of the son of Zhao Guo, but also for the more than 400,000 living lives!

If you want to change Changping, the most convenient thing is to directly control the government of Zhao and improve it in terms of national policy and military.

However, the division between the monarch and the minister has been decided, and the possibility of replacing Zhao Wangdan is very small, and he can only temporarily settle for the position of the prince and the king.

But this position of the monarch is like a chicken rib for Mingyue, and it is also a chicken rib that will be taken away at any time.

Although the Queen Mother is so favored, he is respectful and useless, and he is generous but not hardworking, which will cause trouble. Once the Empress Dowager Zhao is gone, his identity and status will be lost in an instant, and he will likely be driven away by Zhao Wangdan at that time, and go abroad to be a poor beggar son, and it will be good to survive at that time, not to mention anything to change the Battle of Changping.

Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to get some credit for yourself to be able to gain a foothold in Zhao State, which is the best way to protect yourself.

During the Warring States period, what was the most important thing if you wanted to be a big husband and do great things? Is it bloodline, origin? No, unlike the Spring and Autumn Period, what people valued most during the Warring States Period was real merit and fame!

This is an era when the gentleman is noble and the king is not expensive!

This is an era in which fierce generals must be sent to the army, and prime ministers must be born in the state department!

This is an era when even if you are not a prince, as long as you are good at using power, you can also be angry and the princes are afraid, and if you live in peace, the world will rest!

What Mingyue is going to take is a road similar to Meng Weijun Tianwen......

Tian Wenwen is the concubine of Tian Ying, the Jingguo Jun of Qi State, whose name is not good, but relying on his own wisdom, he has repeatedly admonished Tian Ying, presided over housekeeping, and received guests, and his reputation has also spread to various countries. The feudal monarchs and celebrities of various countries actually sent people to the country of Qi in turn to ask Tian Ying to establish Tian Wen as the heir. So after the death of his father, Tian Wen inherited Xue Di, for Meng Weijun, the power of Qi country, control the state of Qi, although the king of Qi did not like him, but it was difficult to get rid of him, so that in the end, when the world mentioned the country of Qi, they only knew Meng Weijun, not King Min of Qi.

"Take 10,000 steps back, after his merits and fame can reach the peak, even if Tian Wen can't get along in the Qi country, he can actually get preferential treatment from other countries, and he has asked him to be the prime minister, and the five countries will attack Qin, and the world will look sideways. The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the way to accommodate himself, it's a pity, Tian Wen was also confused in the end, he forgot that the Qi country was like the water that contained his big fish, and because of the discord with King Qi Min, he in turn presided over the five kingdoms to attack Qi, which led to the decline of the Qi country...... So the water withered and the fish died, and the once-prominent Xue Gong family had no support and perished. ”

If it weren't for this, Meng Weijun's descendants would likely retire with the Qi State and enjoy high positions for generations.

In Meng Weijun's later years, Mingyue was not interested in emulating it, but he might as well follow suit for his shortcut to start. He already has blood and background, and what he wants to win next is merit and fame, these two things, the Empress Dowager Zhao can't give him, and she can't ask for it if she stays in Handan Zhao Palace.

Linzi, you can only get them by going to Linzi!

After a night of deliberation, Mingyue finally made up her mind!

"The fish jumps into the sea at this time, and the flowers bloom on the other side...... I should take the initiative to ask to go to the country of Qi as a hostage, so as to obtain the credit for solving the country's difficulties, win the gratitude and love of the Zhao people, and then use this as a ladder to seek greater power. ”

Although I don't know what he will encounter after going to Qi State, whether it is difficult or sinister, it is better than doing nothing, after all, this is the first step for him to come to the Warring States Period and take the initiative after being careful to hibernate for many days!

But in front of Mingyue, there was another person.

That is the Empress Dowager Zhao who licked the calf deeply and tried her best to prevent him from going to the Qi State......

Don't look at the Empress Dowager Zhao's strong words, in fact, her heart is also full of holes. Haotian didn't hang, she had already lost her father and husband, so she kept Mingyue in her arms, for fear that he would leave her again.

"How can I persuade the queen mother to agree?" Thinking is like a knife that needs to be sharpened from time to time, this time, Mingyue didn't think much about it, so she had a brilliant idea!

……

The east is not clear, it should be the time to sleep, but like the residence of Chang'an Jun in Fengtai, in Longtai, where King Zhao is located, in a big house of the emperor, Zhao Wangdan did not sleep, but was furious in front of his cronies.

"Qin's attack on Zhao was very urgent, and there were three policemen a day on the border, but the queen mother ignored state affairs and refused to let Chang'anjun go to Qi as a hostage in exchange for reinforcements, and even controlled the government and did not let the widows interfere ......"

He pounded the case angrily and said: "Don't you do it, the queen mother wants to follow the example of the Empress Dowager Mi, so that I can be a puppet for decades like King Qin?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the person opposite King Zhao said sharply: "King, please be careful!" ”
