In October, Chengzhou Wangcheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A burst of autumn rain and a burst of cold, with the arrival of midwinter, the poor people of Chengzhou have no clothes and no brown, it is difficult to continue, and they get up very early to make a living; The rich house where Zhong Ming eats is warm and bright, and you can sleep in the futon all day long.

However, before dawn on this day, Zhou Tianzi's minister Liu Cheng got up, he asked the emperor to hurry up, and ran to Shan Mansion to visit in a hurry, not wanting to bump into Shan Ping's carriage and horse at the door, Liu Cheng didn't care about the dignity of the minister, jumped out of the car and grabbed Shan Gong's car rail, which scared the people in the car.

"Did Shan Gong hear about it?" Liu Cheng raised his head and asked hurriedly, his face was not sure whether he was excited or frozen by the frost, and he was a little sickly red.

"I just heard the news, and I was about to inform Liu Gong." Shan Ping really didn't lie, he also got up sleepily, put on his clothes and was about to go out.

"Then we will enter the palace together? Inform the Son of Heaven with this news? “

"It's better to be cautious, and wait for this matter to be confirmed before publicizing it." The one-sided color hesitated, which also couldn't blame him, after all, Liu Cheng was also stunned when he heard the news that Zheng Bo was going to enter the Zhou Dynasty......

Originally, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou stipulated such a ritual system: "The princes are also hired by the Son of Heaven every year, a big appointment every three years, and a dynasty every five years." “

The so-called dynasty is the pilgrimage, which is when the princes personally meet the king of Zhou, report to him the achievements of governing the Hou state, and pay tribute. When the distance is far away and it is inconvenient to come in person, the secretary of state will be dispatched to work on his behalf.

The court employment system was the basis for the feudal relationship between Zhou Tianzi and the princes, indicating that the princes were still obedient to the king of Zhou, and if they neglected this system, the princes would be punished by degrading, cutting land, and crusading......

However, time passed, and with the eastward migration of Zhou Tianzi, the royal family declined, the etiquette collapsed, and the court employment system slowly decayed.

Not to mention the other princes, Zhu Jili, who is closest to the royal family by blood, and Zheng Guo, who is the closest, has had a few painless inquiries since the Duke of Zheng Zhuang and King Zhou Huan turned their faces, and the court has not been here for almost two hundred years......

In the generation of Zhou Wangkuo, because Zheng Guo harbored and even openly supported the party of the prince dynasty and embezzled the royal territory, the relationship between Zhou and Zheng fell to the freezing point of history, and there was no contact for more than ten years.

Now Zheng Bosheng not only wants to make an unprecedented pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven in person, but also returns the illegally embezzled land of Liuyi. But this time, they all know why Zheng Guo, who has always ignored the royal family, behaved like this, and who was the real driving force behind this matter......

This makes them both excited and uneasy......

This uneasiness reached its peak when the kings of Wei and Lu simultaneously made a request for Hajj.

……

The news that Wei and Lu Zhijun requested to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven with Zheng Guo made the entire Chengzhou boil.

Different from the weight of Zheng Guo's initial feudal time, Wei Lu was one of the best princes in the early Zhou Dynasty, and Uncle Lu Boyu and Uncle Wei Kang were all uncles of the East.

However, the monarch of the country of Wei and Lu even hired the Son of Heaven, it was also a matter of many years ago, and what is especially chilling is that the monarch of the Lu State, who is known as the monarch of the Lu State who inherited the most Zhou rites, has only hired the King of Zhou twice since the Spring and Autumn Period, but there are as many as 12 times of hiring the King of Jin, and the Wei Guo is similar, the overlord of the Ning Dynasty and not hiring the Son of Heaven has become the consensus of the princes surnamed Ji, and it can be seen that the King of Zhou is very shabby. Sometimes the Son of Heaven died, or the royal city could not be repaired, and he had to send the minister to ask for silk coins with a shy face, like calling Huazi, and later the last King of Zhou even made a farce of "high debts".

That's a later story, but now Lu and Wei Zhijun have changed their normal behavior and actively come to the court, of course, not because they have changed their minds after reading the ancient rites of the Zhou people a few times, but because they have been coerced and have to do it......

If they want to say what is in their hearts, Zheng Bosheng, Lu Hou General, and Wei Hou Xuan, they only hope that the Son of Heaven can refuse the request to see the court and let this matter end in vain.

However, the royal family could not refuse this.

Although Zhou Tianzi is down, he has never forgotten the glory of the past, who has not dreamed of restoring the glory of the old world, and the glory of barbarian submission? It doesn't matter if no one came before, for the first time in a hundred years, three princes came to the court together, how could they refuse? Even if you want to use King Zhou's private treasury money to show up the ceremony and pomp, you have to grit your teeth and continue to do it, because this is a matter of the face of the Son of Heaven!

The matter of good face, from thoughtful to clear, the court that regards itself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire has never been able to let go.

On the other hand, Liu and Shan Ergong did not dare to refuse this matter.

Because the driving force behind the three monarchs came to the court this time was the Zhao family, after forcing Zheng Guo to surrender at the end of September, the Zhao army returned by Daocheng Zhou, but half of the return, there were still more than 10,000 people on the border of the Zhou room, controlling the main road, saying that it was to maintain order and decorate the façade when the princes met the Son of Heaven.

Returning the city, the three monarchs saw him, Zhao Wuxian gave Zhou Tianzi enough benefits and face, but he was hard with one hand and soft with the other, and there were more than 10,000 people to exert pressure.

If the royal family directly refuses, Liu Dan and the second duke dare not imagine what Zhao Qing, who is determined to win this matter, will do, although Zhao Jun has not done anything out of the ordinary now, but the second duke has never forgotten the urine that was sprinkled on the heavenly womb when he passed by Cheng Zhou......

In this case, it is better to follow Zhao Qing's wishes.

So the Son of Heaven issued an edict, "General Lu, Wei Xu, Zheng Sheng, and the three of you seal the eastern soil, do not forget the old Zhou, respect the pilgrimage, Wang Ruo said: Yes! ”

……

It was a bitter cold in midwinter, and snow began to fall in the north, in this case, the civil war of the Song Kingdom was stalemate in Mangdang Mountain, Shangqiu could not help Pengcheng, and Pengcheng did not know Shangqiu.

And the forces behind the two sides, the Zhao clan was satisfied with a truce after defeating Zheng Guo and ceding the first-line land of Jishui, and the Zhao clan has been fighting this year and urgently needs to rest to raise enough strength for the next year's war. The people of Wu also couldn't stand the cold in the north and had no desire to go north, and the state of Chu was also licking the pain of King Chu Zhao's death, and the world entered a short period of peace for a while.

In this case, at the end of October, the three princes of Lu, Wei, and Zheng set out on the road one after another.

They don't need to worry about the country at all, because Lu Wei is the puppet state of the Zhao family, the monarch is just a puppet, and Zheng Guo also has the Wu Mu who is temporarily pro-Zhao in the hands, but the three monarchs have suffered, and they have to trek on the road in the weather when the water is dripping into ice.

Especially Uncle Zheng, who had just been forced to sign an alliance under the city, and had to run this drudgery again, he didn't know how many times he had secretly complained to others along the way.

However, for Wei Hou and Lu Hou, who were locked in a bird cage, this pilgrimage was also a rare hike......

But after all, unlike the hiking strings of ordinary relatives, the pilgrimage ceremony is an extremely solemn and complicated one of the Zhou rites, Lu, Wei, and Zheng Sanjun did not go separately, but agreed on a good time, and met in Gongdi east of Chengzhou in mid-November.

Gong, the Shang Dynasty called Que Gong, Zhou for the Gong Boguo, after the Zhou royal family moved eastward, the territory of the small Gong Kingdom was occupied by the Qing doctors from the east, and slowly died out, and now the curtain palace is set up, as the Tang Muyi of the Three Monarchs Dynasty Zhou.

As the name suggests, the palace is arranged by the curtain, and it is really cold enough to live in this kind of place in this winter, Zheng Lu Erjun shivered when he got up the next day, and the underage Wei Hou almost got frostbitten, and their entourage was even more miserable, and the team of more than 100 people sneezed all over the sky......

But there is no way, the royal family conditions are limited, the supply of charcoal in the palace is not enough, but to stick to the Zongzhou ritual system, can not go to Gongyi to live, just bitter court to see the team, many people have secretly scolded, saying that no wonder no one came to the court, it turned out to be a chore.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhou did not delay any longer, and the next day Liu Gong wore a leather suit and brought jade to comfort Sanjun.

After meeting, there is little to perform a play according to the Zhou rites, but unfortunately it rained again that day, on the temporary altar, the three princes listened to Liu Gong read the order of the Son of Heaven, and the ceremony of receiving the jade was not as solemn as imagined, but it was a little drifting and gloomy under the rain and wind......

finally completed the foreplay, and the three princes were finally able to follow Liu Gong to Chengzhou.

When they saw the twin cities of Cheng Zhou and Wang Cheng from afar, Lu Hou and Wei Hou, who were looking forward to seeing the Hehetian womb room, were full of disappointment......

Wei Hou was a half-grown child, and after his father was overthrown and died, he wore the crown in a daze. Although Lu Hou will be a little older, he will not see the light of day in the deep locked palace, and he will play with the temple maids every day, and he will not have much knowledge.

However, they are also puppets, and occasionally people who enter and leave the palace instill in them: up to the Son of Heaven and down to the princes, the surname Ji is the authentic, and the rest are just courtiers with mixed surnames, and Luoyang is the center of the world......

Therefore, they have an illusory imagination of "depressed and depressing" for Zhou.

But when I saw it today, I was disappointed! (To be continued.) )
