This year, as the Marquis of Jin moved away from Tongluo in despair, returned to his hometown of Quwo, and continued to be his "Jin Jun" by guarding the one-third of an acre, the land of Jizhou completely changed hands, and the Jin State was replaced by the Zhao State.
The capital of Zhao is located in Yecheng, and there are two palaces of Changle Weiyang in the city, of which Changle Palace is the dormitory, which includes the Riju Palace, the Greenhouse Hall and the palace rooms such as Changxin and Changqiu. Zhao Hou's wife Le Lingzi lives in Changxin Palace, and on the other hand, it is Mrs. Xu Huan's residence: Changqiu Palace.
Today is a good day for Zhao Hou to accept the order of the Son of Heaven and accept the land and the people, there will be many complicated ceremonies and ceremonies after dawn, and the Changqiu Palace is almost sleepless in preparation, and Ji Huan, who is known as "Mrs. Xu", is also busy working until late to rest. As soon as the rooster crowed, she got up again, dressed herself with the help of the palace maid, and then had to tidy up her daughter's dress.
Unlike Doctor Qing's family, the daughters of the princes are the princesses of all eyes, not to mention that Zhen was also promised to the Han family's sister-in-law, today may be the day when the two children meet for the first time, and Ji Ying can't help but pay attention to it.
Zhen is only four years old, compared to Zhao Jia, who made a lot of noise in Changle Palace, it is conceivable that she must be a little lady who looks like Ji Ying when she grows up, but because she is thirsty and sleeps and keeps yawning, half of the teeth in her mouth have fallen out, and a mouth shows pink gums, which is lovely.
When she heard footsteps coming in from behind, Ji Huan was combing Zhen's hair, and she didn't have to look back to know who was coming.
"How does Madame know it's me?" Zhao Wuxian's footsteps were mixed with a large group of followers, and he was curious how Ji Huan could tell the difference.
"There were a hundred people walking by outside the window, and the concubine could also distinguish the footsteps of the prince...... because the other ninety-nine people were all stepping on the ground, but the footsteps of her husband and brother were on her heart.
Ji Huan sent her daughter out with a smile, she knew that her husband came over early in the morning on such an important day, and he must have something to say to her.
With the listing of princes, Zhao Wuxian's palace has gradually been built, in fact, as early as before, outsiders secretly speculated that with the death of Le Ziming, the great Sicheng of the Song Kingdom, the heir of the Le family is young and weak, and the authority of Shangqiu is in the hands of Nanzi, which may lead to the decline of Le Lingzi's status, and Ji Huan, who is quite favored by Zhao Wuxian, is likely to replace him and become Mrs. Zhao Hou.
However, their conjecture fell through, although Ji Huan was quite supported by the old ministers and old ministers of the Zhao family, but Le Lingzi firmly occupied the hearts of the people of Yecheng. Whether it is going out to extend medicine as a white-clothed lingque, or subsidizing pediatric doctors, bringing down doctors, and widely spreading parenting scriptures among the people, she has gained great popularity, and in the eyes of the people, she is a well-deserved "mother of the country".
What's more, Zhao's sister-in-law and Zhao Heng have also grown up, and he is favored by many people when he is five years old, so Le Lingzi's status has not been shaken, and he still joins hands with Zhao Wuxian to enter Changle Weiyang, firmly occupying the most important Changxin Palace.
But Ji Huan is not wronged, she was named "Mrs. Xu", and her status is second only to Le's.
However, troubles also followed, and with the listing of princes, Zhao Wuxian went to sleep in the palace of which lady at night, and it had risen from a family affair to a state affair......
Yesterday was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the summer calendar, and in order to dispel those rumors, Zhao Wuxian deliberately stayed in the Changxin Palace for the night, and this morning, when Le Lingzi was dressed up, he moved to the Changqiu Palace.
"The prince is in such a hurry, could it be because of the 'Xizi' sent yesterday?" Ji Ying sorted out Zhao Wuxian's clothes, joking narrowly.
"Madame saw her?"
"See." Ji Huan recalled the situation when she first saw Xizi yesterday, and even she was amazed by the girl's face and posture.
"The husband is so willing to hand her over to the concubine and be a mere slave and maidservant in this Changqiu Palace?"
Zhao Wuxian disagreed: "After she was originally a remnant of Xu State, she was included in the palace of the princess of Xu State, isn't it very suitable?" ”
"Violent destruction of heavenly things, concubine, this little Changqiu Palace, I'm afraid that I can't lock up this golden magpie in the south."
Zhao Wuxian reacted and said with a smile: "Listening to Madame's words, it seems that she wants to push her to me." ”
"The husband is now a prince, and as soon as the prince marries nine daughters, there should be a wife in the palace, a wife, a wife, and a concubine......
Zhao Wuxian waved his hand and said: "Madame knows, I have never been lustful, I hope the harem can be cleaner, although the Zhao State was successfully established, but now it is a world of great contention, the princes do not advance or retreat, the things in the court have made me very tired, how can I have the effort to build a harem again, and spend a lot of time on women, these things, let's talk about them later." ”
He sighed: "My most terrible enemy now is not Fucha, not the Chu State, not even the remnants of the old rites in this world, but something called desire...... Women are like wolves and tigers, which can kill the fighting spirit of heroes and make people intoxicated. I don't want to lose the family business like Xia Wei and Shang Xuan, who have an excellent foundation, and let the woman bear the notoriety of Si Chen in vain; I don't want to be like Qi Huan in his later years, because of his desire to become ignorant of the government and politics, and finally go to the road of death and national division. ”
Zhao Wuxian confided in the truth, Ji Huan listened silently, she rubbed Wuxian's shoulders with some distress, and said: "But the dignity that the princes should have is still there, in the palace of the princes, there were originally only three people, Lingzi, concubine, and Jiao, but now that Wei has returned with her son, Cao'er is gradually growing up, she doesn't have to go to Lu Country to take care of her, and there should be a place for her in Changle Palace...... In addition to this, there is also the great witch of the Song Kingdom......"
"Ahem." Zhao Wuxian was drinking hot tea and was almost choked, he brushed the matter aside: "In short, this woman was given to me by the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom with great effort, and her heart is unpredictable, so it......'s good to let her collect her heart here."
Ji Huan sighed: "The concubine really envies her. ”
"Envy what?" Zhao Wuxian turned his head and asked.
"I envy her beauty more than me, I envy her so young, it's only twenty-eight years old......"
"She should envy her wife, envy that you don't have to go far away, that you are loved by the countrymen, and that you have a husband who loves you."
"And we'll have a couple of children soon." Zhao Wuxian leaned on Ji Huan's slightly bulging lower abdomen, closed his eyes comfortably, the court was heavy, only in this Changqiu Palace could he take off the crown of the prince and be an ordinary husband, and he didn't even have to call himself "lonely" and "widowed".
"Maybe it's still a daughter." Ji Huan was not so sure, her brows were slightly furrowed, in addition to the old ministers of the Zhao family and the old ministry who were supporting her status in the palace, there were also a group of old and young people of the Xu Kingdom who hoped to restore the country, pinning their hopes on her giving birth to a son as soon as possible, but it was a pity that they were suppressed by their husbands last year, and now they have died down.
"You and I are still young, so there's no hurry." Zhao Wuxian comforted her, he and Ji Huan were both over thirty years old and in the prime of life.
However, with the contradiction between Zhao and Wu on the table, the Heshui project is slowly extending forward, and the war to resist Wu's northward movement next year is also imminent. If he can defeat Fucha, Xu Di will naturally be included in the control of the Zhao family. For this enclave, it is a better mode of governance to support puppets and set up vassals like Wei, Lu, and Di. Zhao Wuxian has already decided that if Ji Ying can give birth to a boy, he will make him the monarch of the new Xu Kingdom, which will be the second prince of the Zhao family......
Here, Zhao Wuxian was preparing for the founding celebration while playing the idea of the land of Wu, and in the south, thousands of miles away, Fucha also held a funeral in the country while watching the ambition of the Central Plains......
……
The ancestor of Wu is said to be Taibo and his younger brother Zhongyong, they are both the sons of King Taiwang of Zhou, so the temple of Wu State can only be traced back to King Tai in addition to Taibo and Zhongyong.
Wu Wangfu is nine years apart, on the first day of the first month of the summer calendar, Wucheng, Jiangnan, the temple of the king, a plain white and black, a funeral is being held here.
Such a grand funeral, except for the one when King Wu died in battle, has never been seen in Wu again, and the unknown person is still considered to be which minister of Wu or King Wu's favorite concubine died, but when he got closer, he found out that it was not the case.
Almost all the ministers of the state of Wu stood outside the temple, with solemn expressions, standing quietly on both sides with swords, and the king of Wu in the middle of the temple was wearing filial piety cloth on his head, wearing silk linen, with grief and hatred in his eyes.
It turned out that this was a state funeral for the Jin Kingdom.
Maybe there was a mistake or omission in the news that was sent back thousands of miles, or maybe the husband deliberately misinterpreted the truth, in the ears of the people of Wu State, the upheaval in the north became: "Jin minister Zhao Wuxian killed his king, and now the Jin State is dead and replaced by the so-called Zhao State!" ”
Wu was "abandoned on the seashore" and cut off communication with the Central Plains, but the Jin State was the first to send envoys to pull them in, so that Wu could communicate with the Central Plains and gradually become stronger. For the Jin Kingdom, the Wu people still have some feelings, and now that the Jin Kingdom has "died", it is indeed like a dead brother to them.
All the funerals of the princes, those with different surnames cry outside the city, those with the same surname cry in the temple, those of the same clan cry in the ancestral temple, and those of the same clan cry in your temple.
After a while of crying in the temple of the king, the husband came out to scan the crowd and asked Dazai Boyao to read a text to everyone:
"The surname Ying is the Oriental Shepherd, and after the people, he is in the company of birds and beasts. Originally in the summer for the emperor, the battle of Mingtiao, Fei Chang turned his back on his lord and rebelled to Shang Tang, as for the end of Shang, Fei Lian evil came to help the abuse, in Muye array, and the heavenly soldiers as enemies, killed by the king of Wu. Fortunately, the Duke of Zhou was generous, and the widow surnamed Ying survived, and he was driven to the west to guard the border for the Zhou room, and the father was favored by Mu Tianzi, and he was lucky to be sealed in Zhao Cheng for the Zhao family. At that time, Zhao was just a doctor. ”
"To the king of Ping moved eastward, the Zhao family once again turned his back on the royal family and fled into the Jin Kingdom, fortunately with the support of the Duke of Wen of Jin, Zhao Yu was able to be listed as the Qing family, but the wolf ambition of his generation, Zhao Dun killed his king, and the power of the Jin Dynasty; Zhao Ying Qi went to the palace in chaos, and the orphans of the Zhao family were also their evil species; Zhao Ying's first disaster, betraying the monarch and self-reliance, led to chaos in the Jin Kingdom, and the people were displaced......"
"The son of the martingale has no mercy, he is the son of Di Wan, he is close to the wicked, cruel and good, marries his sister and slaughters his brother, the jealousy of man and God, and the intolerability of heaven and earth! He entered Lu as a doctor, a lizard as a heart, and a jackal as a wolf, overturning the Sanhuan family and trampling on the temple of Zhou Gong. It's a pity that there is no one in the Central Plains, and the erector has become famous, and the allies surnamed Ji such as Lu, Wei, Cao, etc., are all stolen by the Zhao family. Wuxian is still greedy and insufficient, stealing Tang Shuyu's temple, killing his second king, killing the first prince, slaughtering the office, Jizhou is full of blood, and natural and man-made disasters are complete...... Unsympathetic and unrepentant, he persecuted Zhu Ji and asked for a seal for him, as if stealing Qiding and listing him as princes, this is the shame of Ji's surname and the shame of his husband! ”
"It's sad that the Jin Kingdom was stolen by Xiaoxiao." The ministers also expressed their condolences.
Fu Cha said again: "Jin is the overlord of Zhu Ji, the Jin State is dead, and Wu Guo is the chief of the surname Ji, so he should inherit the Jin State to support the Son of Heaven and ask for the responsibility of not being a minister!" ”
He pulled out his long sword and pointed straight to the north: "From now on, the Wu State and the Zhao family will not share the sky." “
"King! No king! Just when the ministers promised, there was a sound outside the temple of the king, everyone looked at it, but it was the white-haired, dusty Wu Zixu, he had just finished supervising the ditch project, came back to make a difference, just entered the city and encountered this scene, hurriedly entered, wanted to stop King Wu.
The husband was originally full of pride, but now he was very unhappy after being interrupted, glared at Wu Zixu and said, "What does Wu Zi have to say?" ”
Wu Zixu advised: "The old minister is still those words, Yue Guo is the henchman of Wu State, but now the king believes in Gou Jian's lies, and covets the false name of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains." However, even if the state of Wu was able to capture Song and Lu, it would be difficult to hold it when the Zhao reinforcements arrived, and even if it was held, the southerners would not accept the water and soil in the north, and it would be difficult to live for a long time, which was like getting a stone field, which could neither be cultivated nor planted, useless and meaningless! ”
He bitterly admonished: "The Edict of Pan Geng said: 'If there are those who are rebellious and disobedient, they will be completely destroyed, let them cut off their children and grandchildren, and they will never be allowed to plant a curse in this land.'" This is the reason why Yin Shang was able to prosper, and it is also the lesson that the poor clan destroyed the Xia, but after all, it allowed the young to recover the country. I also hope that the king can let go of the Zhao clan and attack the Yue Kingdom first, if you don't do this, you will regret it in the future, and it will be too late......"
The husband didn't listen, and said: "Yue Guo is a small trouble, not to mention that Gou Jian has already expressed his submission, not only does he send more than 10,000 laborers to build palaces and canals for me every year, but he is also willing to send 3,000 soldiers to follow me north, so why worry." The Zhao family is different, and Wu is a national enemy! ”
After speaking, he ignored Wu Zixu, tore off his mourning clothes, revealed the rhino armor inside, and issued an edict: "Now that the ditch has been completed, the widow will soon go north to the Central Plains, avenge the Jin Kingdom, and restore the world surnamed Ji!" ”
"At that time, the princes of the Central Plains, who are suffering from the tyranny of the Zhao clan, will definitely respond in droves! The king takes the power to control the enemy in order to become a hegemon, in this move! Bo Yao repeated the words of the husband and looked at Wu Zixu triumphantly. This old opponent is Yingming I, but unfortunately he doesn't know after all, what exactly does the king want, is he satisfied with being a tyrant in the barbarian like Qin Mugong? No, what he wants is a tyrant who will make the whole world pay attention!
Now that Chen Heng has returned to Qi to prepare, it is a foregone conclusion that the Wu army will go north, and Wu Zixu, who dares to come out to stop this, will be completely disliked by his husband, and losing the trust of the king means losing power.
Wu Zixu saw that he couldn't stop his husband, so he retreated a little dejectedly, and returned home in a cheer, and his son came out to greet him, so he grabbed Wu Feng.
"Father, what is this?"
Wu Zixu whispered to his son: "I have repeatedly advised the king, but the king has always refused to listen to my words, once the king insists on the northern expedition, we will soon see the destruction of the Wu Kingdom." ”
As if foreseeing that situation, he said miserably: "I, Wu Zixu, have received the heavy grace of the previous king, and life and death have been handed over to the Wu State, even if the Wu State is destroyed, I will defend it to the end, but you are different, you are still young, and it is meaningless to perish with the Wu State......
He made up his mind: "You quickly leave the country of Wu, go north to Zhaodi, go to Changqing of the Ru Division, and leave a trace of blood for the Wu family!" ”
……
When he walked into the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace with his wife Le Lingzi, Zhao Wuxian seemed to be moved, stopped, and turned his head to look south.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Le Lingzi looked at the upright outline of her husband's face under the crown, and asked softly, Zhao Guo's crown is "Yin Zhi's Crown, Serve Zhou's Crown", which integrates Yin Zhou's chapter dress system, at this time, Le Lingzi is dressed up, wearing a crimson dark coat, wearing a phoenix crown, a jade belt tied to the bee waist, and his body is full of gold and jade jewelry.
Zhao Wuxian is the crown of the Yuanyou Tour, wearing a Xuanduan dress, his eyes are very bright, and his clear eyes meet her gaze. As a prince, he needs not only a harbor for his home, but also a wife who takes care of his harem and gives grace to his subjects, and in this regard, Le Lingzi has done it perfectly.
A trace of gratitude appeared in his heart, held her hand, and said: "Lone is just thinking, from the Zhao family's concubine to the position of the princes, the road is really difficult, fortunately, there are still you by the widow's side." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Wuxian also glanced back at Ji Huan and the children who were following behind him, Ji Huan also smiled, Zhao Jia is rare to be like a little lady today, obediently not messing around.
"If everything in the past was to fight for today's princes, then the husband has already achieved his ambition, what do you want to do this year?" Under the gaze of a pair of beasts in front of the palace, Le Lingzi, who was climbing up the stairs, suddenly asked.
Zhao Wuxian smiled lightly: "A lot of things happened last year, and the head of the Wei family has hung above Zhao Que; The state of Qin called itself a small sect and accepted the quality into the vassals; Zheng Bo begged to surrender and begged to protect the temple community; Dai and Shangjun barbarians are bound to dogs and horses, and Yan and Zhongshan bow down to the vassals; Luzon Sishang is more like my backyard vegetable garden...... The restoration of the Jin Kingdom, which my father had been looking forward to, was realized by me in this way, and the Kingdom of Great Zhao, which unified the Central Plains, was about to take shape......"
"But that's not enough!"
The palace gate slowly opened, and in front of the wide Hanyuan Hall, the seven big tripods had been burned to boiling, and the sacrifices inside had been cooked, exuding bursts of fragrance. In the hall, but seeing the two rows of ministers and envoys bowing and saluting, Zhao Wuxian saw Dong Anyu and Yu Wuzheng's excited expressions that he was trying to suppress, Tai Shimo's meaning was profound, and he also saw Mu Xia, Yu Xi and other generals who had accompanied him for many years from birth to death, Tian Ben was even more tearful, laughing and crying.
As for the envoys of the princes, the young prince of the Qin State looked ignorant, the envoys of Zhongshan and Yan were full of envy, and the Duan Gui of the Han family tried to laugh, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes. Zhao Yi, Zhao Guangde and other clans were proud, while Zhao Jia was modest and restrained.
He also seemed to see Zhao Ying on the stage, with old relief on his face; Seeing the thief sitting in the hall, cynical appearance, he smiled and asked Zhao Hou After overthrowing the old state, can he really open a new era in which the few are taught, the old are dependent, and the people of the world do not have to freeze and starve to death in the ravine?
He was even in a corner of the main hall and saw Kong Qiu's white hair hanging down, just looking at Wuxian quietly, with condemnation, scrutiny and doubt in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Wuxian received the attention of the world, whether those people were present or not.
In the midst of the congratulatory voice, Zhao Wuxian seemed to be to Le Lingzi, and as if to himself, and whispered to those who were not present: "Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world, following the business of three generations, opening up peace for all generations, the ambition of the bamboo forest in the middle of the year still counts today." ”
"Let's get closer, dominating the Central Plains, the Son of Heaven is the ambition that a prince should have, but there are still states in the world that do not obey me."
Zhao Wuxian's gaze became fierce: "After the beginning of spring, the widow will crusade against Pengcheng and Linzi, and capture Song Jie, Qi Ruzi, and Chen in front of the palace!" If Wu Guofu wants to stop it, let the Central Plains become a nightmare for the Wu people! ”
"The husband has great ambitions, and the child will always accompany you." Le Lingzi was full of affection, and then straightened his face, and also clenched Zhao Wuxian's hand, with the opening of the court, Zhao Hou and his wife will accept the congratulations of the ministers and envoys, and at the same time announce the official establishment of the Zhao State!
This is the spring of the first year of Zhao Hou Wuxian, the first day of the first month! (488 B.C.)
