Chapter 71: Feudalism
Thank you for the reward of book friend Xiangrui 1!
Zhao Wuxian turned over and stayed there, pacing barefoot in the living room.
He knew that the Zhao clan now had a total of four families: Handan, Wen, Mashou and Lou.
Wu Xian remembers that in the original history, a few years later, in the Liuqing Civil War, there was a small sect that betrayed the Zhao family, which led to the outbreak of the war and the reversal of the tide of the war. But he didn't remember which one it was before, but at present, it seems that the Handan clan is the most suspicious!
From today's performance of Handan Ji, you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard, the strength of the Handan clan is the strongest, the centrifugal force is very large, and it is very close to the current sworn enemy of the Zhao clan, the Zhongxing clan.
The reason for this situation is that the "Land of Dongyang" controlled by the Bank of China is very close to Handan, and the interests of both sides are related. The second is that the Handan clan has come out of the five suits, and the blood relationship with the Zhao family is very weak, but there are many marriages with the Zhongxing clan.
On the one hand, Zhao Ying cast a criminal tripod and promulgated a new family law to restrain all small sects; But on the other hand, he had to win over the powerful Handan clan so that it would not deviate, so he arranged Handan Ji to be a companion for Wuxian, who knew that the two would not deal with each other at all.
Zhao Wuxian patted his head helplessly and said, "I sprayed Handan Ji into a sieve today, and the grudge between the two sides is probably completely settled." ”
However, can the submission of the large sect be exchanged for the loyalty of the small sect? I'm afraid it's unlikely, this is actually drinking the juice and wanting to quench his thirst, even if he doesn't have a grudge with Handan Ji, Handan will eventually betray the Zhao family, which is something that can't be controlled by patriarchal and personal relationships.
As the saying goes, "the branch is greater than the root, the shin is greater than the stock, and it must be draped if it is not broken". Because of the change of Zhao Wuxian, he did not want to be a small sect for generations, and he was called by the big sect.
This is the paradox of the feudal system of this era - not the feudalism in the textbooks of the Celestial Empire in later generations, but the feudalism of "feudal statehood".
As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven founded the country, the princes established their families, the Qing set up the side room, the doctors had two sects, and the scholars had subordinate children, all of which were in decline.
This is the feudal pyramid that has been tight since the Yin Zhou Dynasty, but now it is crumbling.
In the past, King Wu Keshang, died in three years, and then the Duke of Zhou also ruled the world, and sealed seventy-one princes, of which the surname Ji has fifty-three kingdoms, as long as the children of the surname Ji are not sick and crazy, they are all mixed with a monarch, the original intention is to want them to "feudal relatives, in order to shield Zhou".
But in the Spring and Autumn Period, these princes deviated from Zhou Tianzi's orders as they became estranged by blood relations.
Not to mention the rebellion of Guan Cai Sanjian at the beginning of the week.
Let's just say that Zheng Guo, who is closest to the Zhou family, was the first to get up and lift the plate, and in the battle of Xiangge, the arrow shot at the shoulder of King Zhou Huan, and by the way, shot the supreme authority of Zhou Tianzi to the ground.
Even the descendants of the Duke of Zhou, who claimed to have inherited the Zhou rites most completely, are now ignoring Zhou Tianzi's love: the number of times they have become Zhou is getting less and less, and the king of Zhou Qingshi has come to urge him personally, but he is more keen to kneel and lick the overlord Jin State, and Lu Zhaogong has also made a big gift to the Jin mourning prince of the same title.
As the uncle of the Jin State surnamed Ji, although he still had to come forward to protect the interests of the Zhou family, the benefits were not less: Jin Wen Gong Chong'er got the anointed land of more than ten towns in the Yang of Taihang Mountain from the Son of Heaven, and asked to be buried with the specifications of the Son of Heaven, which was rejected by the King of Zhou with "name and instrument, no dummy". Since the Xianggong of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin State has actually been using his younger brother Jiang Shirong to infiltrate the upper reaches of Yi and Luo, encroaching on the land of the Zhou Dynasty.
The princes are like this, and so are the doctors. Liuqing, who was originally a loyal servant of the Marquis of Jin and was feudal in various cities, has long forgotten the original intention of helping the office after several generations of development, and has devoted himself to digging into the corners of the Jin Kingdom.
In the same way, the four feudal side rooms of the Zhao family, Handan, Wen, Lou, and Ma Shou, are equivalent to the "Six Qings" within the Zhao family, as long as there is an opportunity, don't they want to replace the Zhao family?
Therefore, the gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation, this is true. All patriarchal relatives are empty in the end, and it is real to manage their own territory well.
However, when Zhao Ying comes back, Wei Ji, who is disgusted with Wuxian, will definitely say something unfavorable to him, and he will have to explain his actions at that time. Although with Zhao Ying's temperament, if he was here, he would probably punish Handan Ji, and Zhao Wuxian has now found a way to deal with the cheap father.
When he first inherited the Zhao family, he sighed to Shu Xiang, saying that Meng Xianzi of Lu State had five warriors, but there were few talents under his command.
After more than 20 years of collection, Zhao Ying's subordinates already have Dong Anyu, Yin Duo, Fu Suo, Wu Youyou Wuzheng, and Wang Sunqi.
If there is a talented son, Zhao Ying loves it even more.
Wait until today's winter solstice time, Wuxian will shock Zhao Ying with a completely different Chengxiang, as the wheat slowly grows taller and turns from green to yellow, his confidence is getting more and more. Then, the township model will be extended to the entire counties controlled by the Zhao clan, and he will win the position of the prince in one fell swoop!
When the time comes, we will start to arrange a plan to cut down Handan and other small sects, and it will not be too late to strengthen the weak branches.
Coincidentally, Wendi, who is trying his best to win over, is in the direction of the south of Handan, facing Handan's Juguan, once there is a change, Wendi will become the winner and loser who strangles it!
After figuring it out, Zhao Wuxian couldn't sleep, he simply opened the door, and in the warm night of late spring, he sang a song that he had slightly modified Xiaoya.
"Yellow birds and yellow birds, no collection in mulberry, no pecking me. Let the people of this country get along with each other. Words and words, return to my relatives. ”
The people in this mansion, I can't get along with them for a long time, I still miss my hometown a lot, and I want to go back to my relatives.
The Zhao Mansion in Xinjiang is magnificent, the food is delicious, and the maidservants are beautiful, but it is not his real home.
Where is his place?
Zhao Wuxian is homesick, thinking about the ordinary and warm home in his previous life; After thinking of Chengyi Township Temple, there is only one home in the courtyard; There is also the boudoir of his sister Ji Huan in the lower palace, where he is haunted by his dreams and spiritual home......
He looked up at a forty-five degree angle and looked at the bright moon that had risen to the branches of the mulberry tree, and looked sad.
But...... The atmosphere that had been created so hard was ruined by a loud voice.
"Gentleman, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you singing here!"
But it was Tian Ben, a wicked young man who got up to pee at night, just heard it, and ran over naked with only calf nose pants.
Zhao Wuxian was disturbed by the rare nostalgia, and angrily raised his leg and kicked Tian Ben, scolding: "Sing your sister, don't you put on your clothes quickly and go back to sleep!" ”
Tian Ben was kicked, but he didn't think he was angry, and muttered while rubbing his eyes: "I don't have any sisters in my family, I heard that there is one in the Jing family, let him bring it to take a look, but he has been shirking ......"
Zhao Wuxian only left him with a back, and closed the door to make up for sleep.
……
Zhao Wuxian didn't dream of the person in his deep dream, he got up when the rooster crowed, and freshened up and changed his clothes under the service of the maid.
Today I wore a deep coat of bandage, and the sand and buttons were trimmed with brocade, and the hair was also made of vermilion brocade.
Entering the study of the Gong clan involves not only his face, but also the entire Zhao Group, and his image is not sloppy.
The sachet that Ji Huan prepared for him, its fragrance is especially preserved, hidden in the clothes; The left sleeve is placed with a golden flint, which is a tool for ignition, and the right sleeve is a brass ring worn when archery; He wore a warm white jade ring around his waist, and his two-foot long sword with a sheath of azusa hung diagonally.
His two entourage, Tian Ben, who had always been unkempt, was also ordered by Zhao Wuxian to dress up neatly, this time he no longer looked like a ruffian hooligan, but became a real martial artist, and he held a bow and arrow specially brought from Chengyi by Wuxian. The vertical width of the soap-clothed bun holds a few strings of "bunch", that is, air-dried salted pork, which is a necessary gift for studying and worshipping the teacher in the spring and autumn period.
After going out without shirts, he joined Zhao Guangde, who was waiting out early, but he didn't see Handanji, and after waiting for a while, he still hadn't arrived, it seemed that his face hurt yesterday, and he couldn't bow his head and get along with Zhao Wuxian.
Zhao Wuxian sighed, sure enough, but there was no way, did he want him to kneel and lick Handan Ji with a shy smile? That would only make Xiao Zong look down on him even more, and the rebellion would come faster.
The two went to the backyard to meet the hostess Wei Ji according to etiquette, but were stopped by the maid, saying that Shaojun was unwell today and did not need to come to the ceremony. Zhao Wuxian was also happy like this, anyway, everyone was unhappy when they met, so it was better not to see him.
The group took the horse chariot driven by Wang Sunqi and drove out, and Zhao Guangde, who was also dressed up, stood on the right side of the car, trying to make himself look majestic, but he was short and fat and hung a two-foot long sword, how awkward he looked.
Zhao Wuxian was amused in his heart, asked him not to be too nervous, and casually asked him some deeds about the location of the Zhao ancestral temple, but Zhao Guangde did not leave to eat, drink and have fun without saying a word.
Zhao Wuxian felt that this guy's image was more suitable for being a lewd lord, or a cook who mixes soup all day long...... But by no means a doctor.
After leaving the mansion, he saw that there was also a richly decorated horse chariot waiting outside, the royal warrior was sophisticated, and his arms were above his knees; The right side of the car is majestic, holding a long ge.
The owner of the car is a tall and strong young gentleman with a loyal face.
Seeing Zhao Wuxian and his party come out, he showed a sincere smile, waved his wide sleeves, and saluted Wuxian: "But Brother Wuxian?" Wei Ju is polite here! ”
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations......
