Chapter 171: The Man Who Guarded the Burn
Shi Mo is a prince of Cai, with the country as his clan, and Cai is a small country surnamed Ji in the south, and has been a vassal of Chu for a long time.
Thirty years ago, after King Chu Ling, a wonderful monarch who was so happy, came to power, his head was hot, and he booby-trapped Cai Hou, destroyed Cai Guo, and razed it to a big county. The Cai clan was either killed or fled, and Shi Mo was the Taishi who held Cai Guo's "Spring and Autumn" at that time, ran to the Jin Kingdom, and later became the monarch.
He is good at astronomy and astronomy, the five elements and the Xiao Zhan, and is familiar with the internal affairs of the princes.
Ten years after King Jing of Zhou, that is, seven years ago, Lu Zhaogong was driven out of Lu by Ji Pingzi, the head of the Three Huans, and died in exile by Qianhou.
This incident had a huge impact on Zhuxia Internationally, and Zhao Ying, the father who was tireless in learning, was moved and consulted Shi Mo on this matter: "The Ji clan expelled Lu Hou, but the people attached themselves to him, and the princes also supported him, and the monarch died outside, but no one blamed him, why is this?" ”
Shi Mo's answer was very long, and what impressed Zhao Ying the most and often talked about it in front of Wuxian was this sentence: "The poem says: The high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum. The society is impermanent, and the monarch and the minister are impermanent, since ancient times! Therefore, only the instrument and the name can not be a dummy! ”
This remark is still deafening to the ears of Zhao Wuxian, a person of later generations, and it can also be used as a theoretical basis for Liuqing to replace the Marquis of Jin.
What's even more bizarre is that in that year, Shi Mo predicted: Within forty years, the state of Wu will die!
At the time... ↑ Long... ↑ Wind... ↑ Text... ▼ ♂et Wu State, just like the rising sun in the east, rose in the south, and a few years later, it broke through the capital of Chu in one fell swoop and took half of the Jianghuai River. Wu Wang Lu is a generation of male masters, and the text has Wu Zixu and Bo Yao (pi). Wu Youfu, Sun Wu. Their country can be described as a burning fire. Therefore, the ministers and doctors of the Jin State did not take Shi Mo's prediction seriously.
But only Zhao Wuxian knew. He was right! Wu Yuexing's stories, those protagonists, he remembers them clearly, isn't it more than 30 years later!
That's why he was curious about the little old man Shi Mo.
Soon, though, he won't be able to desert.
The ceremony continued, and then, the Marquis of Jin dressed in court clothes took his place on the east side outside the temple gate, facing south. Taizhu, Shaozhu, Yazhu and others face west. Sacrifice to the Great Mars with a few prison specifications. The priest Wei Ju killed a sheep and a sheep, and Zhao Wuxian, as an assistant sacrificer, was responsible for helping to place the sacrificial animals according to the procedures of the rehearsal, with his head facing north and east as the top.
Taizhu edict to prepare the sacrificial animals, let the Yong people in charge of the cutting and cooking things clean the animals, and set up daggers and figurines next to the stove for cooking fish and meat, and the stove for cooking fish and meat is in the southeast of the temple gate. To the north is the top.
After these ceremonies were completed, the Marquis of Jin entered the Ming Hall in his court clothes and stayed inside for the whole night. And the task of Zhao Wuxian and BOC Heihui is to light a fire outside. Set up a watch, and be responsible for guarding the fire. It is guaranteed to stay there all night.
It was dark and nightfall. Zhao Wuxian looked at the southern sky and found that the big dark red spark was already very bright. From late July to mid-September. It will gradually move westward and fall until it falls to the western horizon, where it is hidden in the clouds and hidden from the mountains.
This process is called "July Flowing Fire" and "September Internal Fire", the sacrifice in September, in fact, is the Double Ninth Festival of later generations, when the time comes, the spring millet has already entered the warehouse, and the summer millet is also expected to be harvested.
The vigil was not an easy task, not to mention that there were no companions around him, only a cunning enemy like a jackal. Now, beside the fire of the bronze frame of the wooden pillar, under the wooden spear, only the crackling sound of the fire burning firewood and charcoal can be heard, and the atmosphere is silent and mysterious.
After a while, it was the Bank of China who spoke first, as if to dispel the coldness of the night, and he spoke to himself.
The eyes of the Bank of China reflected the light of the fire, and he said: "Emperor Zhuan has a son named Chongli, Chongli is the fire of the Gaoxin clan, and the fire of the year is enshrined, showing the light of heaven and earth, and its merit is great, so the emperor's life is called 'Zhu Rong'." After Huo Zheng Zhurong, he is the Chu people of the southern country. ”
Zhao Wuxian stared coldly at the black humerus of the Bank of China through the flames, and did not say a word.
"In the past, the princes of the Zhou Dynasty were in Qiyang, and the Chu people Xiong Yi were regarded as Jing Man, and they placed Mao outside the Ming Hall, set up a watch, and guarded the fire with the Xianyu Di people, so they did not meet with the Son of Heaven, how similar is the situation between you and me now? I don't know what the two Yidi monarchs said that day? ”
"I know that Zhao Zi's ambition is great, and today's Liuqing is like the princes of the early Zhou Dynasty, and I don't know, in the future, who of you and I can do a career like Chu State?"
The Zhao clan killed Jin Linggong, and the Zhongxing clan also killed Jin Ligong, and it is still good now, and it is becoming more and more prosperous. Therefore, the children of the two families looked at the Marquis of Jin with more disdain than the other princes.
What's more, looking at the Jin Kingdom, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Zhuqing Clan is the strongest among the soldiers of the Zhongxing Clan who have pioneered Rong Di all the year round! Therefore, the Bank of China has the capital of pride and self-pride.
Their ancestor, Zhongxing Muzi, was originally the most capable general in the Jin Kingdom, and even the invincible King Chu Ling was afraid of three points. The Wei clan's heavy pawn phalanx, the Zhongxing clan also has it, and it also has a lot of newly conquered Rongdi soldiers, and is good at mountain warfare. In later generations, the Zhongshan Kingdom, now known as Xianyu, was also forced by its pressure to submit to Zhong Xingyin, and sometimes listened to his dispatch.
Fortunately, Bank of China Muzi died more than ten years ago and failed to take the position of ruler, otherwise, today's Bank of China clan will only be more terrifying!
But for the words of the Bank of China's black humerus, Wuxian smiled coldly.
Nowadays, the Zhao family and the Zhongxing clan are already inextricable enemies, and the two families are fighting for the power of the army, the competition in Niuma City, and the competition for the Handan clan, they are enemies everywhere, and they even have a share of the harm to Le Qi.
So he replied: "The ambition of the Zhongxing Zi is also great, but why compare himself with the king of the barbarian Rong Di, don't you think that in the future, the Zhongxing clan should be the Chu State, and can ask the importance of Jin Ding?" In my opinion, you may also be Xianyu Baidi, who was expelled from Hexi to Dayuan by the Qin people, and was driven to Zhongshan by Muzi and Wei Xianzi of the Bank of China. At that time, you may be able to learn from the Chu people's long-road orchid wisps to enlighten the mountains and forests! ”
"You!" The Bank of China's black humerus was robbed of white, but because of the need to be quiet because of the guard, he couldn't speak loudly.
So both of them turned their faces away, and they didn't say anything again tonight, so they were caught until dawn. When Jin Houwu walked out of the Ming Hall in a daze, he saw that Zhao Wuxian and Zhongxing's black humerus hair and eyebrows had a faint layer of frost......
……
Chengxiang, when it was dawn, Zigong breathed a sigh of relief at the fog that suddenly rose outside.
He shouted at his subordinates to get up from the couch, load the goods, and escort the ox cart out of the Chengxiang wall under the escort of Yu Xi and other light knights.
Zigong looked at Xinjiang's position, at this moment, Zhao Wuxian was already in the Qiqi Palace, playing a political game with the monarch and the children of Liuqing, and the war that belonged to him Duanmu Ci was about to start! (To be continued......)
