Chapter 541: New Song
PS: The last chapter should be 540 chapters, and I will continue to write at night, write as much as I want, it will be around the morning, and I don't have to wait if I go to bed early.
The weather is gradually getting colder, the frost in the early morning is getting heavier and heavier, and Nanzi's reappearance makes Zhao Wuxian, who has been struggling with the case in recent days, only feel bright.
She had a little red on her forehead, a signature charming smile at the corner of her lips, and she wore the robe of a witch, coarse kudzu cloth, red and white, a silk belt tied with a bee's waist, and a bracelet woven of herbs on her hand, exuding a faint fragrance, and perhaps wearing many psychic accessories, so she sat in Zhao Wuxian's arms......
In the eyes of others, she is a filial daughter and a holy witch choice, but in front of Zhao Wuxian, Nanzi has a different side.
Feeling the weight of the slight sinking in his arms, he could feel the smooth skin underneath through the thin clothes, and Zhao Wuxian, who called himself Yanagi Hui in front of the Xiang brothers, was also a little uncontrollable, and licked his lips, how could he feel like a witch cospaly.
He patted her buttocks lightly and said, "What have you taught you in the past few days?" β
Nanzi deliberately twisted his waist and giggled: "The Great Witch is forced to have a handle in my hands, so I can only teach it to ......"
She has officially become a member of the witch a few days ago, following the witch to learn how to serve the ghosts and gods, and to read those bizarre ...... Oracle?
Well, as a remnant of the Yin Shang dynasty, Wuzhu of the Song Kingdom is the last batch of masters of this kind of writing, and when the Song Kingdom is wiped out in two hundred years, this kind of writing will be lost in the long river of time.
As a strange woman, Nanzi was no easier to understand than Oracle, even though she looked so beautiful. So different in general. As for the various dreams that Nanzi encountered during the ceremony that day, Zhao Wuxian was silent after hearing it. In his heart, he thought disapprenorantly: "Isn't it just a drug addiction......
He knew that the industry was on the verge of the supernatural, and that it was faithful and fanatical. A high degree of mental excitation is required, so another important use of psychotropic drugs in ancient times was as a tool for religious activities. Some wizards claim to be able to communicate with "spirits" while unconscious, with the help of hallucinogens. When tribal shamans discovered that eating some plant leaves could lead to a state of trance, the history of human drug abuse began.
As far as Zhao Wuxian can see, the folk witches dare to use anything, and even eat poisonous mushrooms to cause hallucinations. The official witch of the Song Kingdom used the big and small witch blessings, which are said to have "eating too much to make people go crazy and go wild...... The marijuana of the "Kufu Tongshen" is mixed with some spices, and when they smoke enough to enter a coma or a state of madness, they will be able to see the incarnation of the ghosts.
So if someone says. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a ridiculous book written by a group of drug-addicted wizards when they were in a big town, and Zhao Wuxian is not surprised at all, either seeing a finch outside the window as a human bird's head, or a fox running by the grass as having nine tails......
The rituals that Nanzi went through should have the same effect, but Zhao Wuxian was indifferent to those illusory illusions, and he was concerned about what role Nanzi could play in the new Song Dynasty that he had designed by virtue of his status as a witch.
"Although he became a disciple of the Great Witch. But until the crown of the Duke of Song, you will continue to be in charge of the court. β
Nanzi bowed his head and said: "Gentleman, rest assured, the eyeliner that Xiang has placed in the palace has been completely cleared out, and not a single one will be missed." β
There is Nanzi here. Zhao Wuxian believes that the ownerless Song Inner Palace will be run by her like an iron bucket, holding the monarch in her hands. occupies the name of righteousness, and is not afraid that the ministers and doctors of the Song State will not be convinced.
But she also has concerns: "That's what I'm worried about right now. Will the prince of Wu take revenge. β
On that day, he slandered Nanzi to Wei and was killed by a great witch possessed by a demon and god. In the eyes of the people present, it was innocent of death, and Xiang Chao was his accomplice, and he didn't dare to stay in Shangqiu, and left with his husband, so he must not dare to enter Shangqiu in this life. As for Fucha, he tried his best to advocate the strength of Wu before, but Zhao Wuxian saw through that he was a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre, and Fucha was ashamed and angry, and the marriage proposal to Song Guo ended with Nanzi becoming a disciple of Dawu, and Fucha's desire was not satisfied, so he went away in anger.
Before leaving, he also threw down his words, saying that he would definitely achieve ambition in the Song Kingdom!
β¦β¦
Wu Jun also knew that he had few people, and he didn't dare to play the trick of besieging the city gate, so he could only retreat to the east, and the followers of the Xiang clan also slowly retreated, and now Xiang Chao occupies Yanyang, Xiaoyi and other places, his position is still there, with the support of Wu State, the eastern part of Song State is like a separation, and does not listen to Shangqiu's orders.
Zhao Wuxian said: "As I said, Wu Guo is now unable to go north, even if Fu Cha is dissatisfied, but he is not the person who controls the real power of Wu State, Wu Wang, Wu Zixu, and Sun Wu are all such shrewd people, I am afraid that if I can't do my best, how can I get involved in the war in the Central Plains at will." But the Song State does not have the support of a strong country, and it is impossible to take back the territory occupied by the Xiang family, and it is good to break the idea that the Xiang brothers want to enter the court, and then stabilize the situation of the Song Kingdom, and then slowly figure it out. β
The Song Rebellion gave Zhao Wuxian the opportunity to intervene and was a great success, but he did not have enough strength and patience to win outright. The intervention army of the Wei Guo was completely wiped out, but Zheng Guoyou quickly retained his strength, and more than 3,000 people fought and retreated, and had already retreated into the territory of Zheng State, and by the way, occupied all the six gaps on the border between Zheng and Song, so that this time the troops did not seem to have lost so badly. Song Guo was able to drive away the robbers who entered the house, but he no longer had the strength to retake these territories from the enemy, so he could only watch as he quickly escaped.
"The city in the west is lost, the people in the east are scattered, and although the chaos of the Song Kingdom has stopped, the rulers will face an eventful season next......
Speaking of this, Zhao Wuxian sighed, the Song Kingdom was in turmoil this time, the nobles died four or five percent, there were no great talents in the court, and now there are many fewer people who can do things.
"Lao Tzu has a saying, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, Song Hao is a country of a thousand times, but the monarch is young and weak, and the new ruler, my uncle Le Ziming, does not have the same cooking skills as Yi Yin......"
After the news of the succession of the new monarch was notified to the whole Song Dynasty, the doctors came to mourn the ancestors and meet the new monarch one after another.
After pouring blood to the Great Sima. Le Chu got his wish and was appointed as the ruler of the small country. The ruling power of the Song State is generally held by the right division, and now this position is simply abolished. Le Hui took the position of Dasi Cheng as the head secretary, which was the second ruler of the Le family. He was complacent for a while, but he was not happy for a few days, and his lack of ability was reflected, and a large number of national affairs lagged behind and procrastinated, and could not be dealt with in a timely manner.
Can Zhao Wuxian know the ability of the eldest brother? It's good to be able to manage a hundred multiplier homes, and to dominate the country of a thousand multipliers? That's a joke.
But he didn't come to get involved in the Song Rebellion to help the Song State change a good government, but to let a family member who could help him unconditionally sit in this seat, just like Zhou Chu's wanton division of the children surnamed Ji. It's really the same as it says in the book, in order to find a good monarch for the local natives? Nonsense, just because this is an era of cronyism, fifty-four people surnamed Ji, as long as there is no major physical and mental problem, they can be mixed with the monarch.
In the same way, as long as Le Wei is not stupid or stupid, Zhao Wuxian will help him to take the throne, and Nanzi will watch the harem. use theocracy for me; Youle Lingzi took the spirit magpies to save the people and collect the hearts of the people; There is also Chen Yin, the head of the Le family, and Chen Dingguo, the Sima of the family, assisted by the side, and these two brothers are rare talents. The eldest brother drew a promise immediately, and he didn't ask him to rejuvenate the Song Kingdom, so it was okay to keep it.
The candidate for power was taken by Zhao Wuxian as Le's strong. But other positions should not be too greedy as collaborators. Originally, the great secretary Kou Huangyi, who was at the bottom of the list of the six secretaries of the Song State, became the second secretary.
Huang Ying's ability is average, and his reputation is not obvious. I'm quite satisfied with this arrangement, and I'm doing my part conscientiously these days.
Because the Huang family and the Le family both belonged to the descendants of Song Daigong, some of Song Pinggong's close branch grandsons were very dissatisfied and made a lot of discussions, believing that this was a sign of the Dai clan's gaining power, and demanded that the status of the sons and grandsons be restored.
Zhao Wuxian naturally scoffed at these rotten old aristocrats, and Nanzi had already provided a wonderful note on how to deal with dissidents in the court: "According to the custom, in the tenth month of Mengdong, the Great Witch will smear the tortoiseshell grass with the blood of animals, judge the good luck and evil by examining the auspicious hexagrams, and check whether there are people in the court who have formed a party and formed a party for personal gain, and they must be exposed, so that their crimes cannot be concealed......
As a result, dissidents in the DPRK and China were swept away, and only two newly appointed ministers remained.
The eldest Sima Xiang Wei died, but his position was inherited by his younger brother Sima Geng. Sima Geng's temperament is impatient and upright, because of Xiang's help for Wu Guoren's tiger, he betrayed Xiang's and switched to Zhao Wuxian's side, becoming more and more dissatisfied with Xiang's family, although he also collected his brother's body in the spirit of filial piety, and cried, but then he was persuaded by Zhao Wuxian to remove filial piety and take office.
"If Ziniu only cares about crying in one family, maybe Song Guo will cry in the whole country, and Song Guo needs you."
As a result, Sima Ziniu, who was only thirty years old, became the person with the highest position in Confucius, as he said, the "Friends and Straight Ministers" who always played the role of the monarch of the small country were the pillars of the court, and their role was greater than that of the main and second secretaries.
Nanzi was a little dissatisfied with Sima Geng, thinking that he was an elm pimple, which was unreasonable: "Sima Zi Niu Li wants me to hand over the financial power of the inner government, can't I wait for the situation to settle down?" The monarch is still young, but as the monarch grows up, I am afraid that he will be hostile to us, so why should the gentleman make him a secretary? β
"Sima Geng is not a group or a party, but an outlier among the Dai officials in the court, the reason why I let you and my uncle use him is not only to split the Xiang clan's forces, but also because of a country of a thousand times, there must be someone who can do practical things...... As for when the monarch will be in power, I think it is important to read more books and learn more from Taifu when I am a minor......"
Zhao Wuxian stretched out two fingers and shook them: "In this way, the monarch will be twenty crowns!" β
He himself was crowned at the age of fifteen, and in order to be able to administer early, there were many people who were 12 or 14 years old, and 20 was already late. Nanzi was overjoyed in her heart, how could she not know Zhao Wuxian's plans? This means that she can be the head of the office for another ten years.
In addition, the position of Great Situ gave the Ling family a spirit that did not slow down. The Ling clan came from the Song Dynasty after the Duke of Wen, and was one of the few doctors who preserved their strength in the chaos and immediately took refuge in the victor's family after the war.
In this way, the new court of the Song State was determined, except for the left division Xiangchao, who had lost the hearts of the people and could only leave Shangqiu, there were only four Qing left in the Song State.
Zhao Wuxian has been working hard for the balance of this new order these days, and Nanzi knows his thoughts, and after arranging all this, it is the time of parting.
"In fact, if the gentleman is willing, he can stay in the Song Kingdom at any time, and he can be a ...... for Yiqing" It was obvious that she would be more free after Zhao Wuxian left, but Nanzi still couldn't help but say something to stay.
β¦β¦
A qing?
Zhao Wuxian has just turned eighteen this year, and he is sitting on the throne at this age, and he is not the old position of the Yin clan, which is really a bit appalling, although the Song State is only a medium-sized state, but Song Qing's status is still not low.
Three years ago, he came to the Song Kingdom quite dejectedly, and when he wanted to go north to Weipu for an adventure, Le Lu once kept him, saying that he could ask for a thousand rooms for Zhao Wuxian and let him be a doctor, so that he could get Le's protection in the future and spend his life in peace.
But Zhao Wuxian refused, he chose the road that seemed to be full of thorns and the most difficult to walk, and when he came back, he was under the fence back then, but now Le's survived all thanks to him, and the Song Dynasty was also in his hands.
If it is logical to stay in the Song State and serve as the secretary of the Song State, it is actually a good choice, here is his virtuous fiancΓ©e, there is a lover who itches at a glance, and there is also power at your fingertips.
Nanzi's eyes were full of anticipation, Zhao Wuxian groaned slightly, then shook his head lightly, and reached out to gently scrape the tip of Nanzi's small nose: "A mouth is a secretary position, you are really a loser, but if I stay, it will only make the situation in the Song Kingdom worse." β
With just one choice, the original alliance leader will immediately become an enemy, the Le clan is in power, and the nobles of the Song Kingdom are acceptable to them, but Zhao Wuxian is an outsider after all.
Although Song Guo is good, it is not a stage that belongs to Zhao Wuxian, not to mention that he has already helped Nanzi draw makeup, finish arranging the stage, and let her lead here for a while. While Zhao Wuxian was helping her, he also firmly held her life, that was the crime of killing her father, no matter how high she could fly, once she had the intention of backlashing, Zhao Wuxian would make her foundation collapse!
Nanzi knelt on the ground and raised his pretty face to look at Zhao Wuxian: "What are the plans of that gentleman?" β
"It's now October and a half, and I've been away for three months, so it's time to go back to Lu to have a look."
Lu State, the more than ten towns directly or indirectly controlled, the 200,000 people, the new system and new skills created from top to bottom, this is Zhao Wuxian's basic plate, which is much more important than a secretary without an actual territory!
But when you arrive in the country of Lu, is it the end?
Le Qi's filial piety period is coming to an end unconsciously, and in three years, Zhao Wuxian left the Jin Kingdom and left Xintian for three full years.
When Nanzi held the jade given by Ji Ying in both hands, Zhao Wuxian touched the weft belt and remembered the oath he had made countless times.
"I'll be back!"
Yes, whether it is the Song State or the Lu State, these Sishang small states are just stepping stones for him to climb towards the Jin Kingdom, and return to the steps in the center of the stage, Jin and Chu compete for hegemony, this is the center of the whole "Spring and Autumn"!
If you want to be a secretary, then be a secretary of a big country!
Zhao Wuxian looked out the window, in another month, it would snow, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, under the snow, a new Song Kingdom was sprouting.
And the Jin State and the Lu State are slaughtered by a hundred grasses, and when the cold winter is expected, which one will have the last laugh?
After finalizing that the Song State would return the invaded land of the Cao State, and instructing the Le family to write an emotional letter of thanks to Cao Boyang, the living Lei Feng who sacrificed himself, Zhao Wuxian completed the last thing. Next, it was time for him to return to Lu, and at this time, he learned that not long ago, there was a big incident in Lu!
Putting away the letter sent by five hundred miles of urgency, facing the farewell people, Zhao Wuxian said lightly: "Started the ......" (to be continued.) )
