Chapter 922 - Grafting (Part I)
The thick black smoke of the new station of the palace has stopped, and the former tallest building has collapsed, leaving only a pile of charred ruins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoBut under the rubble, there are new shoots unearthed in the spring that are tenaciously stretching their bodies and absorbing the sun. In the summer, it will turn into a mossy and overgrown grass garden.
The order of Diqiu has been restored to normal, on the night of the fire of Diqiu, the Zhao army on both sides of Jin and Lu set out together, from Hanoi to 5,000, from Yuncheng also came 5,000, they took a military ship, from the Weiqu to Diqiu, and soon occupied the east and west of the country, all the dangerous checkpoints. The guards of Diqiu were completely replaced by the Zhao army, and martial law had been imposed in the city for several days, killing people and looting were stopped, and those who dared to violate the ban were put in prison, and the prisons of Weiguo were already overcrowded.
According to the rules, the princes were buried on the fifth day, and the body of the marquis of Wei happened to be funeral today, but the state funeral was not held, but a grass hall was hastily built in the palace. After fulfilling his obligations as an ally, Zhao Wuxian announced to everyone the nature of this patriotic rebellion: Shipu and other ministers coerced the people of the country and killed the monarch and rebelled!
For the Chinese people who participated in the rebellion, Zhao Wuxian said that he would not be held accountable, and it can be seen from the nickname "Wei Zhuogong" that he gave Wei Hou Kuai Kuai, he was sure that the Chinese people expelled the faint king, which made the originally worried people of the country relax and began to forget the madness of those days and return to normal life.
But for Zhu Qing, Zhao Wuxian did not intend to let it go easily.
"Shi and the others are locked up in prison, and they have been saying that they have been wronged, and they can't help but beg to see Shangqing, saying that they have no intention of being enemies with the Zhao family, and this rebellion is also in accordance with Shangqing's intentions, asking why the Zhao family will fight against them?"
Outside Diqiu City, in the big tent where the Zhao army was stationed, Zi Xia, who had been recruited as Zhao Qing's close minister, glanced at Zhao Wuxian, who was sitting firmly behind the case, and asked, "Shangqing, this is the original words of the Patriotic Secretaries, how should I reply?" To see or not to see? β
"Nonsense! When did I acquiesce in their murder? Zhao categorically denied the accusation.
He said to Zixia solemnly: "You go and tell Shipu and let him recall the deeds of the ancestor Shi Jie." When Gongzi Zhou and Shi Hou killed Wei Huan Gong to stand on their own, when they went to Chen Guo to ask about it, Shi Jie wrote a letter to tell Chen Guojun and his ministers, saying that Wei Guo's place was small, old and old, and he watched the killing of the monarch happen but did nothing, and now the two people who went to Chen Guo were the murderers of the monarch, and dared to take the opportunity to set up a ritual law to deal with them......"
In this story, Zi Xia knew that Chen Guoren was moved by Shi Jie, so he caught Zhou Hu and Shi Hou, and went to Weiguo to ask someone to deal with it. The Weiguo side sent Youzai to go and kill Zhou Hu in Pudi. Shi Jie sent his retainers to kill his son Shi Hou in Chen, which is the origin of "righteous annihilation".
Zixia understood that what Zhao Shangqing meant was that he played the role of Chen Guo in this rebellion to defend the country and kill the king, and now he wants to be a neighbor and deal with traitors for the country.
So the question is, who will play "Shi Jie" in this incident?
Also, what should we do with this ancient princely state that has lasted for more than 500 years?
Although he still had doubts in his heart, these things were none of Zixia's business, and in the more than a month since he came to Zhao Wuxian's side, he had adapted to his work: classifying the songs passed down from various counties and counties, putting the important ones on it, writing a document from time to time, and providing advice when Zhao Wuxian needed it, and that's it.
If the lord has no intention of consulting, don't try to show yourself, this is the attitude of the Zhao family's internal affairs, each performing its own duties, dereliction of duty, and overstepping authority.
What Zixia needs to convey is Zhao Wuxian's treatment of Zhu Qing.
β¦β¦
"The Shi clan treasoned and killed the king, the crime is unforgivable, Shipu is the leader of the rebellion, the car is split in the city, and the family moves to the border of the Jin Dynasty."
"The Beigong clan first pretended to be the king, and then repeatedly rebelled, participated in the killing of the king, and the head of the family, Beigong Xishi, was killed, and the clan moved to the border of Lishi County in the Jin Kingdom."
"The Sun family, who killed the monarch from Shipu, was one of the masterminds of the rebel party, and the head of the family, Sun Zhuang, was beheaded in the city, and the family moved to the border of Mayi County, Jin State."
"Uncle Tai's family, from the stone garden to kill the king, the head of the family, Uncle Tai, was killed in the city, and the family moved to the border of Jinguolou County."
"Uncle Gong, for the traitorous accomplice, Uncle Mu is dead, kill his body, the head of the family, Uncle Shu took the initiative to surrender, allowed him to hang himself, and moved the clan to the border of Lin County, Jin State."
"Zhuxia is intimate, don't abandon it, Rong Di Jackal, don't get tired of it. The Rong people of the Ji clan slipped in the summer, the sin was unforgivable, the Ji clan was beheaded in the city, the family was reduced to a gangster, and moved to the border of Julu County in the Jin Kingdom! β
These dispositions are one after another, which makes people tremble, and the five major Qing clans of the country will soon usher in their own doom after being wiped out by the Zhao army......
"It's really vigorous and resolute, without dragging the mud and water at all, and now that the six secretaries of the country are the only ones left, only the Kong family is left?"
Listening to these dispositions, Kong Yu's heart became colder and colder, and after Zhao Wuxian took away the prince of Weiguo, he asked Yan Gao to surround Kong's house, allowing him to enter and leave, but he didn't cut off their sources.
"I don't know what reason Zhao Shangqing will pronounce on me, whether it is a car split, or a cut in half, or like Ji Sun, give me a poisoned wine, a white silk, and a short sword, I can choose? And the old man's clansmen, which bitter cold place in the north will they go to? β
Kong Yu smiled bitterly on the sickbed, his wife and children were already pale with fright, and they didn't know what to do.
So when Zhao Wuxian sent someone to the door to deliver the news, the Kong family almost hanged themselves first......
When Zixia finished reading Zhao Wuxian's words, Kong Yu's father and son looked incredible.
Zhao Shangqing ...... Do you want to continue to govern the country and assist the new monarch? β
β¦β¦
"Shangqing, I still don't understand!" Just when the Kong family was celebrating the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Zhao Yi was a little indignant.
He said: "We have been planning for so long and have wasted so many twists and turns, is it just to change a monarch for the defense of the country and help them restore order? β
"You're not wrong." Zhao Wuxian tapped him with the tip of his pen: "The order of defending the country is very important, Ziyin has been here for three years, and he should be able to tell the reason." β
"It's nothing more than the plain plains of Weidi and Sichuan, the roads are four-reaching, and Jujin and Luchong want to ......"
"However, the Zhao family is now a big business, if Yecheng in Hebei is the henchman, then Taiyuan is the right arm of the Zhao family, covering the land and Shangjun in the north, and Tongba, Wei and Han in the south. The state of Lu is the left arm of the Zhao family, the upper state of Qi, the lower state of Wu, and the bending arm of the princes of Sishang. Therefore, whether it is Taiyuan or Lu State, the Zhao family cannot be lost, Jinyang is the territory run by the Zhao family for three generations, and the people want it, I am not too worried. If I am stationed in Lu in person, it will be as stable as a rock, but I am not there, but I can't guarantee it. After all, the legacy of Duke Zhou has not disappeared, and the Lu people's national consciousness is still strong, so they can't help but maintain it. I first sent my son Zhao Cao to be Lu Qing, leaving a group of capable ministers to assist, but I was still afraid that Lu Shi would become big over time, so I asked Guangde to divide his power...... Do you understand my good intentions? β
Zhao Yi stopped complaining, and arched his hand: "I understand, any choice made by Shangqing must have a reason." Although he is a small sect of the Zhao clan, he has always been addicted to military battles, and he is not the kind of person who thinks too much, so the Handan clan was destroyed, but their "Ma Shou clan" stayed, and was relied on by Zhao Wuxian.
In the era of feudal patriarchy, relatives of the same clan are also a powerful help, but to learn to use it reasonably, Zhao Wuxian does not raise waste, and does not want the Zhao clan to decay in the future and be replaced by retainers with different surnames.
Therefore, for Zhao Yi and Zhao Guangde, the only two in the clan, he still cultivated them with great care, and he should give appropriate rewards according to their merits, so that they can act as a force and reach a balance with the ministers from scholars. Mixed with different theories, this can be regarded as a kind of technique for the south of the human king.
Zhao Wuxian continued: "The construction of the Wei Canal is to a large extent to shorten the distance between Jin and Lu, so the traffic between Hanoi and Lu depends on the Wei Canal...... Therefore, the defense of the country must be stable, which is why I supported Kuai Shen and destroyed him with my own hands. β
Kuai Yu, in the words of later generations, is a nerve knife, when he diligently sought to return to the country, he performed well, but once he ascended to a high position, he was complacent and began to become more and more crazy, his perverse behavior made Zhao Wuxian very uneasy about defending the country, so after getting the early warning that there might be a catastrophe this year, he gave birth to the plan to meddle in the defense of the country.
Rather than waiting for the turmoil to break out suddenly and overwhelm the Zhao family, it is better to add fuel to the fire and detonate it within the range that Zhao Wuxian can control.
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Since the defense of the country is so important, why don't my cousin annex it and turn it into a county?" It's like destroying the kingdom. β
Wuxian shook his head: "It's not that simple, Wei Guo, is a big country in the East that Zong and Zhou divided, he has served as a Hou Bo for a long time, and it has been inherited for more than five hundred years, although it has declined several times, it is not as good as before, but if it is rashly annexed, it will inevitably cause a violent reaction from the princes." β
Originally, with the strength of the Zhao family, it was not impossible to do this, but thinking of the catastrophe this year, Zhao Wuxian planned to take a safe route.
"What's more, although Uncle Wei Kang's legacy has been almost consumed by the faint monarchs, the extremely xenophobic Wei people are not so easy to govern, and it will inevitably consume a lot of energy of the Zhao family. In short, just like the people of Israel governing the country of Lu, it is necessary to govern and defend with guards. The crown prince, he is the heir of orthodoxy, the premise of the stability of the country, and he is young, timid and afraid, and very easy to control. And Kong Yu, a dying man, his descendants are incompetent, and his clan is declining, but he is more trusted by the guards, and he is pushed out again, just to decorate the faΓ§ade of the new court of the country. β
"Patriotic ...... The new court? Zhao Yi was a little puzzled.
"Yes, the six secretaries of the country, six to the fifth, the head of the Zhuqing family will be killed, and the remaining children will also move to the border of the Jin Kingdom, and the official palace of the defense will be empty. Now that the politics of the Qing clan in the past no longer exists, it is time to insert people to deepen the Zhao clan's control over the country, so that they can change from servants who still have a little freedom to pure puppets! β
Zhao Wuxian looked Zhao Yi up and down, and said with a smile: "Ziyin, after the Great War of the Six Secretaries of the Jin Kingdom, I have always owed you a reward worthy of your merits." Although Weiguo is small, it is also a country of five hundred times, you have been stationed here for three years, you are familiar with the customs here, understand the topography of the mountains and rivers here, stay in Weiguo as the second secretary, how about leading the imperial court? After a few years, the Kong Yuan lamp will run out, and you will be the ruler of the country, and then the defense of the country will be sacrificed by the monarch, and the government will be by Ziyin! Will this country of Uncle Wei Kang completely become the country of the Zhao family, are you interested? β
