Chapter 1054: Prince of Zhao Kingdom
readx;?β If you follow Zhou Li's set, you should now relinquish the position of the general of the Lu State and return all the authority to the descendants of Lu Hou and Sanhuan, and Gu should also cancel the Hou title and dedicate the land to the Marquis of Jin and the Son of Heaven. Although there are quite talented people in the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Lushi, there are also some people who are vulgar Confucian, do not know the time, like the past and the present, so that the monarch is dazzled by the name and the truth, forget what is the foundation of his own state, you are still young, you should learn more from Zhang Zi to govern the country, instead of being confused by the etiquette and music of the Lu people. β
That question scared Zhao Cao a lot, and at the same time he was very aggrieved, he was just an eleven-year-old child, and he was also very puzzled, didn't his father let him integrate into the Lu people? Why did the narrative change?
What Zhao Cao didn't know was that at this time and that time, when Zhao Wuxian put him in the Lu State, he had to rely on the power of Lu to win the civil war and resist the Qi State. Therefore, a large number of Zhuo Ba appointed Lu Shi to exclude the aristocratic forces of the Lu State, and gave great preferential treatment to those with more prestige in Lu such as Yan Qi and Confucian disciples. But now, the Zhao State has been established, and the core of the Zhao family has been transferred back to Jizhou, for Zhao Wuxian, the value of the Lu State is no longer so great, and their opinions, listen or not.
Unexpectedly, these people are really moisturizing and silent, and their son was unconsciously rendered by them. Afterwards, Zhao Wuxian also blamed himself, and put Zhao Cao in Qufu, where the remnants of Zhou rites were extremely heavy, although Zhang Mengtan was his teacher, but there were also many Confucian disciples around him, and there were few people who instilled in him some of Confucius's governance concepts, as well as the respect for benevolence, virtue, and etiquette......
Wu Xi learned from the pain, and planned to wait for the end of this war, the general trend in the north would be determined, and there was no need for Lu to have a son to watch. When the time comes, he will recall Yecheng on the premise that Zhao Cao retains the position of Secretary of Lu, let him listen to and learn more by his side, and even enter the Linzhang School Palace to experience and get in touch with some different doctrines, hoping to reverse this unhealthy trend.
But Zhao Cao is eleven years old, his ideas can be corrected, but his personality is a little difficult, Zhao Wuxian feels that if he is the king, he is a little too simple and naΓ―ve, and it is easy to be deceived by his courtiers.
So on the whole, compared to Zhao Cao's too benevolent and timid, Zhao Heng is more beautiful and virtuous, he was educated by Le Lingzi very well-behaved, but he also has some ideas and tenacity of his own, as can be seen from today's temple, Zhao Wuxian is more optimistic about the future of this son, and he has also taken him by his side and cultivated him since childhood.
Of course, there is also the maternal family of the two sons.
As the saying goes, the son is more precious than the mother, and in terms of the mother's family, it is naturally Zhao Heng who wins. Le Lingzi was born in the Song Guoqing clan, the strength of the Le family is half of the Song Kingdom, and it is the object of Zhao Wuxian's support, although the heir is now young and weak, but Le Lingzi has completely departed from the realm of relying purely on her mother's family and background, she is a wonderful hand doctor in the eyes of Yecheng people, and has a very high popularity, which will also give Zhao Heng a lot of extra points.
Based on all of the above, Zhao Wuxian made a decision, which led to today's canonization ceremony......
He got up, pulled Zhao Heng, and announced to the ministers in the palace: "Today, the widow will be the prince of Zhao State!" β
The big event has been decided, and the subsequent ceremony is only an additional process, although Zhao Wuxian is tired of the complicated etiquette, but he is very serious about the canonization of the crown prince, because the canonization is the future heir to the throne, is the prince of a country, any snubbing will make people chew other meanings, although the two sons are young, but behind them, there are also their own supporters.
In this complicated ceremony, Zhao Heng was a little dizzy, and Xiangbang Dong Anyu stood in his northwest, standing to the east, and read out Zhao Wuxian's policy for the establishment of the crown prince.
"Since ancient times, the emperor succeeded the heavens and established the country, and he must establish the Yuan Prince, so as to consolidate the country's foundation, and the Mianshe Ji has no borders...... The widow has a son-in-law, a young man, and a beautiful talent. Today, I would like to tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community. On April 5 of the first year, he was awarded the treasure of the book. He was established as the crown prince of Zhao. It is located in the East Palace, with the unity of a hundred generations, and the heart of the people of the country......"
After the reading was completed, Zhao Wuxian asked the confessor to hold the prince's seal in his hand, and handed it to Zhao Heng with a solemn expression. At this point, the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince entered the Gao Yu Dynasty, Dong Anyu, Post Wuzheng, Ji Ran, Deng Xi, Shi Zhao five important ministers are stepping up the ranks, and go to the palace to congratulate, Qi Hu Junhou has this good heir, which is the blessing of Zhao State......
Under the congratulations of the ministers, Zhao Wuxian had more thoughts in his heart: "I don't expect my son to be stronger than me at all, and even I don't need a pioneer king, I just need a master of the mean who can keep it." But the premise is that he wants to inherit my philosophy, don't let the country deviate from the right track, Aman has no own opinions, if he succeeds to the throne, he is only afraid that it will be Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty and the like......"
And Zhao Heng, Zhao Wuxian held his son's little hand, there was more confusion than excitement in his eyes, although the future is unpredictable, but Wuxian still hopes that he can become the king of the inner and outer kings like Emperor Wen of Han!
β¦β¦
The canonization of the crown prince naturally had to come to the people for amnesty, and Zhao Hou ordered that the families of those who had previously served sentences for adultery and criminals could alleviate their sins by transporting heavy grain and grass for the Zhao army. As for those nobles and merchants who secretly hid alcohol or sold moonshine during the prohibition period, they could also use a large amount of money and food to atone for their sins.
On the one hand, it is to celebrate with the country, and on the other hand, it is also to prepare the last grain and grass for the war, but after calculating it, there is still a gap in the grain in the Changping warehouses in various places, unless you go to Sishang, let Lu and Cao transport grain, or take food on the spot in the Song Dynasty.
"The Song Kingdom was in chaos last year, and the spring plowing and autumn harvest were delayed, so how can there be any surplus grain now......"
In desperation, Zhao Wuxian could only postpone the date of the expedition until after the summer harvest in May, and on the other hand, he reduced the number of expeditions and began to sell treasury bonds at the same time......
Treasury bonds, that is, the state by virtue of its credit, or voluntarily or compulsorily borrowed from private individuals, China's earliest "national bonds", it will take another two hundred years, by the last Zhou Tianzi Zhou Xun Wang to create. King Zhou listened to the words of the lobbyist of the state of Chu, and planned to use the name of the Son of Heaven to convene the six countries to send troops to attack Qin to resist its eastward advance, he asked the Duke of Western Zhou to cobble together 6,000 soldiers, because there was no military spending, he had to borrow money from the rich merchants and landlords of Zhou, and finally he couldn't do it, but the borrowed money was quickly spent, and the creditors came to collect debts, and the king of Zhou had to hide on a high platform in the palace. This is why there is the idiom "high debt".
"I hope I won't fall into that fate......" After signing the edict to borrow debts from domestic nobles and military landlords, Zhao Wuxian sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Dong Anyu, You Wuzheng and Ji Ran can understand this expedient measure, Deng Xi also listed the specific procedures for the return of the national debt, plus Zhao Guo is strong, although he has torn up countless covenants externally, his reputation internally is not bad, with the psychology of both glory and loss, the nobles who have surplus money and surplus food at home are happy to donate food.
In this way, the war was gradually fed up, and the rainy season could only cease so that the army could move south.
The day before the expedition, Zhao Wuxian chose to go to Changqiu Palace for the night.
β¦β¦
Although his harem is quite peaceful, it is not a harmonious mess, Le Lingzi is the lady of the main room, and Ji Ying is the most favored, second only to her. As for the other two concubines, Kong Jiao stood in the same boat with her because she was Le's concubine, and Bo Mi, who had just returned from Lu in January, was close to Ji Huan. In this way, the two palaces of Chang Nobun and Changqiu are one east and one west, facing each other from afar, although there are many etiquettes on weekdays, and the two sides often come and go, but in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Hou's attention and favor to the two ladies are like a scale, one is higher and the other is low.
In fact, in Zhao Wuxian's heart, the blessings of this Qi people are not easy to enjoy, if there is no emotion, forget it, if there is emotion mixed in, you have to consider the balance problem.
No, after making Zhao Heng the crown prince, he often rested in Ji Huan's Changqiu Palace, in addition to wanting Ji Huan to understand, but also because she was pregnant for seven months, she needed to be comforted.
Seeing Zhao Wuxian coming over as soon as she came over, Ji Huan was naturally happy, she was not easy to move around with a big belly, so she asked the maid to serve Zhao Wuxian to change into regular clothes, and let people prepare the meal he liked, while waiting for the meal, Zhao Wuxian hugged Ji Huan and walked in the garden.
"A little movement is good for both mother and child."
Although he is an old husband and wife, Ji Huan still smiled shyly at the thought of having children for "Brother" again: "How does my husband know that he is a son?" β
"Yi Bian Que personally diagnosed your pulse, this time it shouldn't be wrong." Zhao Wuxian patted her hand and comforted: "I won't treat him badly, this expedition is to lay down a feudal country for him as a gift of birth." β
"If the husband can return safely, it will be the best gift." Ji Huan was a little helpless, from childhood to adulthood, she was used to waiting, just like watching her father go on an expedition at that time, the army went out, the return date was unknown, and when she returned without a shirt, maybe the child could crawl around.
As for the future of the child in the womb, Ji Ying is very content, and she also trusts Wuxi's promise.
The Changqiu Palace still gives people a feeling of home, and the most attentive places in the palace are the deer park and the flower garden, where the moss is spotted, the vines are shaded, and the sheep intestine path is slightly exposed.
Walking here, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but stop and looked at the front of the court.
Ji Huan followed his gaze, but he followed the path forward, only to see the beautiful trees verdant, strange flowers burning, and a clear stream, zigzag from the depths of the flowers and trees under the stone gaps. By the stream, a young girl in palace clothes was squatting by the stream to fetch water and water the flowers.
Her skin was as white as snow, not at all like a girl under the southern sun. The body is slender, as gentle and pleasing as a newborn flower bud, while humming the ballad of the land, the voice is low, like the spring rain moisturizing things, silent and refreshing, listening to her song, the fish in the stream will also sink to the bottom, see his face, the bright flowers in the garden can not help but close in shame.
Even Zhao Wuxian, who called himself a "bad woman", couldn't help but pay attention, Ji Huan couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart when she saw this, and squeezed Zhao Wuxian's hand with a little effort.
Zhao Wuxian turned around and smiled: "There are a lot more flowers in Madame's palace." β
"I'm afraid that my husband's intention is not to flower...... Ji Huan thought about it, and then pointed to the girl and said: "Do you remember it, husband, this is the Yuedi beauty Xizi you sent to the concubine to train, the concubine is not in good health, do you want to call her to sleep tonight?" β
