Chapter 923 - Grafting (II)

Listed as a Qing family, this is the dream of every doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Wuxian's gift, Zhao Yi naturally will not refuse, and immediately readily agreed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But he also knew that Weiguo was a mess, and Wei Hou's perverse actions left a huge scar on the country, and after Zhuqing was swept away, their children fled and were caught, and most of them were forced to go to the border of the Zhao family.

This kind of measure is necessary, just like Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, moved the six countries to enrich Guanzhong, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved the Guandong heroes to enrich Maoling, which is a technique of strengthening the weak branches. Each of these Qing clans has one or two thousand people, which will increase the population of the empty Zhao border county, and bring advanced production technology and culture, in the face of the border Rongdi and the treacherous environment, they can only survive under the protection of the Zhao army.

Zhao Yi was worried that no one would do anything in the Weiguo Mansion for a while, and he would not have much political experience if he would be able to take on this position and help the Zhao family stabilize the country.

"Don't worry, I will leave 5,000 troops to help you defend the country, and sufficient force is the best way to suppress those who do not obey. And they will also send some scholars and bureaucrats from Jinlu who are familiar with the situation of defending the country to help you, such as Kan Zhi, you can be cited as a humerus, and Gao Chai, you can be a judge in the defense of the country, and the guards in the Linzhang School Palace, it is time to show what you have learned. In addition, 50,000 stone of grain will be transported from Lu Country every month, and with the storage of grain from Shenqiu, it should be enough for you to last until the autumn harvest. ”

In addition to replenishing Zhao Yi's subordinates and ensuring that the administration of the defense of the country would not be paralyzed, he also had to prepare food for him, so that he could maintain the food of the garrison and guards, and could distribute money to the officials of the defense of the country.

However, Hanoi's regular position cannot be moved, so it can only be replenished from the Lu side.

Zhao Wuxian pointed to Zhao Yi and said: "Emperor Qiu can rely on these outsiders to carry out a plan to move flowers and trees, but in the cities and towns of the country, he can only temporarily rely on local doctors and chiefs to rule indirectly. Fortunately, after the Wuqing is extinguished, the Wei State will vacate a large number of ownerless fields, and you can grant these fields to the landless poor people of the patriotic country to cultivate, and they will become the first people to support the Zhao family, and they will stick one nail after another in the xenophobic patriotic land snake, and when the time is ripe in a few years, you can change the town to a county, plus the rule of the locality. ”

"You also have to thank Kuai, his heavy taxes have reached the point of forcing the people to hand over half of the harvest, first reduce it to one-fifth, and the people will be grateful to Dade. Anyway, the guard canal has also been repaired, and if some labor is appropriately reduced, then the heart of the defender can be determined. ”

Seeing Zhao Yi write them down one by one, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help sighing, this cousin can lead the troops, but he only has the posture of a Chinese person in politics. In fact, if Zigong had to maintain his rule in Cao State, it might be more appropriate for him to come back to manage the Wei Kingdom, but now, Zhao Yi can only be forced to do it.

Who let the talents under his command be able to take charge on their own, and they are basically rebels, thieves, and careerists with a bad reputation in history?

Let Yang Hu or Buddha and Wang Sunsheng take care of the land? It's scary to think about, but it's better to keep these tigers tethered under your nose.

Zhao Yi is not ambitious, and he does not have much political experience, so it is better for him to be in charge of military affairs in Weiguo, and government affairs are handled by Zhao Wuxian's cronies and scholars who parachuted in. In short, it is necessary to restore the order of defending the country as soon as possible, urging the people to go to the fields for spring ploughing, there may be a disaster this year, and the defense of the country is likely to be affected, and how much can be planted. Anyway, in the next ten years, the Zhao clan will have a firm foothold in Weiguo, and then through the convenient transportation of Weiqu, Hanoi and Weidi will be integrated economically, culturally, and legally.

But Zhao Wuxian didn't care about watching these things come true one by one, he still had to go to the east, and in the past few days, something big had happened over there......

……

More than ten days have passed since the chaos in Diqiu, and as Zhao Wuxian left by boat, Zhao Zhao outside Kong Yu's mansion also withdrew one after another. The people inside came out trembling like rats for the rest of their lives after the earthquake, and the new monarch succeeded to the throne, Kong Yu was reappointed as the ruler, and they were safe for the time being.

But Zilu, the hero who saved the Kong family that night, chose to end the relationship with Kong Yu at this time, packed up and left.

Kong's father and son repeatedly kept it to no avail, so they had to give money to say goodbye, and in the end, it was his pair of senior brothers, Yan Gao and Gao Chai, who sent Zilu out of the city.

"Zilu, do you really want to leave Weiguo?" Gao Chai felt a little pity, Zilu had done a very good job in Puyi in the past three years, and now that the Kong family had survived the chaos, if Zilu stayed, he would definitely be relied on by them.

"Lamb." Zilu pointed to Zhao Zu, who was patrolling the roadside, and smiled at him: "Is this still the defense of the country?" In my opinion, there is no difference between it and the county of the Zhao family, at most, it is the same as the Lu country, retaining a monarch surnamed Ji as a puppet, and practicing the rule of the Zhao family. ”

On the second day of Kong Yu's tenure in power, Zhao Wuxian forcibly promoted Zhao Yi, who had made a contribution to countering the rebellion, as the deputy secretary of the country on the grounds that there were too few people in the Wei Guo clan! The Zhao clan openly touched the Weiguo court, but the Wei people were powerless to oppose it, and even secretly rejoiced that the Zhao family did not exterminate the Weiguo Society for 500 years.

Yan Gao and Gao Chai are naturally clear about these things, both of them are in the Zhao family, and their faces are a little feverish for a while.

Zilu didn't deliberately bury the two of them, he had done it before, he was different from Yuan Xian and others, he only took care of himself, and would not wield a moral stick to force others to make the same choice.

"On the matter, this time to defend the country, I owe Zijiao and Zhao Shangqing a life." Before leaving, he solemnly said to the two: "Zilu has one person and one sword, as long as Zhao Shangqing is driven, Zilu will definitely die happily!" But if you want me to stay and be Zhao Shangqing's eagle dog, I can't do it for the time being, so don't persuade the two of you anymore. ”

Seeing that Zilu saw through their intentions, Yan Gao and Gao Chai looked at each other and sighed, and no longer persuaded them, but just accompanied Zilu to the south gate of Weiguo.

After the ban was lifted, the streets of Diqiu became crowded again, and just as the three of them tried to make their way through the crowd entering the city, they suddenly heard the sound of bells and drums.

They looked up and listened, wondering what the bell meant.

The last time the Zhao army entered the city, the bells and drums rang non-stop, but this time, it was just the market beating.

"I'm going to kill Zhu Qing!" I don't know who shouted, and the guards of the Emperor Hill began to move towards the market, wanting to see what was going on.

The three of Zilu glanced at each other and walked towards that side, and when they arrived at the center of Chengnan City, the crowd was already rubbing shoulders and crowding.

The Shi family, the Taishu family, the Gongshu family, the Beigong family, and the Sun family, the five major Qing clans that defended the country in the past, except for the uncle who was "tolerant and tolerant" by Zhao Wuxian and allowed to hang himself, the other four people are standing here, and there is a Zhao pawn on the left and right.

The onlookers were still discussing enthusiastically, but when the executioner came up with the torture instrument, they fell silent, and some even sighed: "Is it really going to be killed?" ”

These are all indispensable doctors, born noble families, the Shi family with the longest inheritance, originated from the grandson of Wei Jingbo, and has been more than 200 years. The rest of the Taishu clan and the Sun clan have a history of one or two hundred years, and even the Beigong clan, which is the most junior one, has lasted for more than a hundred years......

This is the so-called Shiqing Shilu, that is to say, from the beginning of the grandfather of the grandfather of these patriotic people, Zhuqing stood at the peak of the power of the country, overlooking all living beings, and never fell. But today, they have been reduced to prisoners and become fish and meat on the sword.

Uncle Kou was the first to be killed, and as an accomplice, he was sentenced to behead by the Zhao Administrator, and Lu Ban's invention came in handy again: the guillotine.

The knife of the guillotine is trapezoidal, the blade is oblique, weighs about forty catties, and the wooden stand is two feet high. When Uncle Tai was pressed to the top and tied up, he raised his head as if he had something to say, but as soon as the executioner pulled the rope, the blade fell, quickly cutting off his neck, and after rolling his head twice, he closed his eyes.

The onlookers gasped, everything happened so fast that they didn't even react.

But when it was Beigong Xi's turn, they had time to see the cruelty of the punishment.

Beigong Xi was originally the party of Wei Hou and was cited by him as a confidant, but when Wei Gong was not protected, he decisively chose to open the door and turn against the water and lead Zhu Qing in, so he was sentenced to death......

Ten thousand blades were added, and the terrible sound was endless, and he only had time to struggle a few times before he was chopped into pulp.

Next, it was Sun Zhuang, the head of the Sun family, who, as one of the masterminds, was sentenced to be beheaded.

Everyone still remembers that it was seven years ago when Zhao Qi was in the middle of the war, and Yangsheng, the prince of Qi, was beheaded in Yuncheng, which brought a huge shock to the world, and the unwritten fallacy of "not punishing a doctor" was immediately buried in the dust of history.

Today, Sun Zhuang's death is not neat, after he was cut off by the guillotine, his upper body can still move, while crying, his red eyes are dipped in blood, and he writes a few words on the ground, and he dies.

The last person to be brought up was the first evil stone garden, and he was sentenced to the most cruel car split......

In the Spring and Autumn Period, when the monarchs of various countries punished the rebellious ministers and thieves who committed the murder of the monarch, they adopted the method of car splitting. In 694 B.C., the state of Qi "Yu Gao Qu Mi"; In 598 B.C., the state of Chu invaded the state of Chen, and the Xia Zhengshu who killed Chen Linggong "Limen of Xun", and in 551 BC, the state of Chu again "started from Sijing".

If it weren't for Zhao Wuxian who changed history, Chang Hong would not be sitting firmly in Linzhang School Palace to make a big sacrificial wine, playing musical instruments every day, and watching the stars at night, he would also be torn apart by his beloved Zhou people, and his intestines would be pumped, and his death would be miserable......

Shipu witnessed the death of his three accomplices, but when it was his turn, he was still calm, and he struggled only a few times when his hands and feet were tied to the rope loops attached to the horse.

The magistrate of the Zhao clan was reading out his guilt, and then the horsewhip sounded, and the horse was in pain, and pulled in different directions, so that the human body could be torn into five pieces.

The pain, starting with the constant tearing, the bones of the stone garden were gurgling, and the face was twisted and painful.

"I've seen Xintai turn to ashes in the flames!"

"I will also watch Uncle Wei Kang's temple being toppled in the Yellow Spring!"

"In less than ten years!"

He shouted frantically with his last strength: "Defend the country for 500 years!" ”

"Will also die with the Shi family!"

The next moment, the limbs were broken, blood was flowing all over the ground, Bai Huahua's intestines also flowed out of the torn belly, the horses neighed in horror, and the onlookers were as silent as death, without saying a word......

Including the uncle who had already hanged himself, the head of the five major clans of the Patriotic State was actually over.

Not only them, but even Zilu, who had already expected all this, including Yan Gao and others who knew the result in advance, were also shocked.

If it is said that the death of Gongzi Yangsheng seven years ago was just a piece of tile that fell from the edifice of aristocratic etiquette, then today the five Qings went to Huangquan together, but it was the five pillars that fell to the ground in the palace.

Perhaps, just like the stone garden cursed before he died, the society of the patriotic country will also be crumbling, and it will not be able to hold on now, but Zhao Wuxian doesn't want them to fall so quickly, he has moved the flowers and trees, and let the same sect Zhao Yi be the deputy secretary of the country and take over this temple.

At this time, there were already people who couldn't stand it, covered their mouths and left one after another, many of them also participated in the ****, followed Zhuqing to besiege Weihou, and now Zhuqing was killed, but they were spared by Zhao Wuxian, without accountability, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. But the bloodstained guillotine will always stand in the center of the market, so that everyone who passes by will not forget what happened today, and let them be in awe.

Awe of the new imperial court.

Zilu also silently walked out with the crowd, and for some reason, when he saw Wuqing's death, he was not like others, full of fear and happiness, but felt a little happy......

Although he went to learn etiquette and music and benevolence according to his master's request, his poor background and his repeated setbacks in his career for twenty years made him hostile and dissatisfied with most of the nobles.

"Meat eaters despise!" This is the voice of every poor man in Weilu.

Therefore, when he saw the fall of Lu Guosanhuan and the destruction of the five great clans of the country, he did not worry like a master and grieve for the "collapse of etiquette", but thought that they deserved it in his heart.

"It's just a change of soup and not a change of medicine...... he said to himself, he went to Wuqing, and then came to Zhaoqing, the nobles are still those nobles, and the official mansion is still the official mansion.

But has it really not changed? Zilu remembered what happened in the Lu country, at least there, the poor people who had been despised by Sanhuan began to enter the court one after another and enter the house.

"Learn and excel." Zilu's little junior brother, Zi Zhang, a native of Chen Guo, said this sentence, which has become a fact in Lu State. Although those people learned not only etiquette, music, benevolence and righteousness, but also Deng Xi's art of punishment and name, and even farming, hundred labors, and mathematics, these "small ways" in the eyes of Confucius. And what happened next to Wei Guo is just a copy of Lu Guo in the past ten years.

In that case, the collapse of the old rites and music is not entirely a bad thing, is it? At least, these poor people, under the rule of the Zhao clan, are more likely to rise to the top than before.

Zilu shook his head, dispelling this bad thought, he knew that he couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise, his purpose of being a person in the past twenty years would also collapse. He quickened his pace and walked in the southwest direction, Zilu was going to Ye County of Chu State, returned to his master, and told him what had happened in Weiguo. He would tell him that the shadow cast by the Zhao clan had shrouded another state, and the places where their Confucian disciples could go were becoming less and less.

Zhong You's footsteps were hurried, and passing him on the Tu Road was an old man who was dusty, he came from the south, with bamboo canes and shoes, a long sword with a belt, standing in the morning sun, and his shadow was stretched very long. He was looking at the endless boats and bows, as if he could see something on the faces of the soldiers and merchants who were in a hurry......

After half a ring, Sun Wu smiled.

"It's better to come early than to come by chance, the Zhao family is in the east, there is a war......"
