PS: There are minor changes to the order of the alliance and the participating countries, which shall prevail later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the thirty-fifth year of the reign of King Zhou and the fourth year of the Marquis of Zhao (485 B.C.), in the early morning of the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, the genius was bright, and the Huangchiyi on the bank of Jishui was specially used by the League to decorate the altar of the League. Gong Xichi, who was in charge of the ranking of seats for the ceremonies of the alliance, was very satisfied after inspecting the circle, and then sighed to his subordinates.

"In the past, the meeting of Qi Huan Gong summoned the tomb, and the participants were from the eight countries."

"Jin Wen Gong practiced the alliance of the soil, and the participants were the nine countries."

"The Shu Alliance of the State of Chu, the participants are the twelve countries."

"Even if it is the alliance of the most participants, there are only eighteen countries in the participants."

He commented on all the previous league meetings, and finally said proudly:

"And now, in the meeting of Huangchi, there are Song Gong, Qin Bo, Yan Hou, Lu Hou, Zheng Bo, Chen Hou, Cai Hou, Wei Hou, Zhongshanzi, Qi Hou, Teng Hou, Xue Bo, Tan Zi, Yi Zi, Xiao Yi Zi, and the princes of the sixteen countries, plus the ruling of Cao State, Wu State Dazai, Yue Guo Doctor, and the Ba people who came from afar, there are as many as 20 countries! Since the eastward migration of the Zhou family, the alliance of princes has been prosperous, and there is no one who can stand out! ”

Such a grand alliance, if the host did not entertain the guests well, it would be ridiculed by the world, but fortunately, Gongxi Chi was particularly proficient in receiving people and things and the etiquette of pilgrimage, and under his auspices, Huang Chi had prepared everything.

A Heheming Hall was built a few months ago in Jishui Zhiyang, and a total of three main halls were built, including a temple for sacrifices, a hall for worship, and thirty-six houses and seventy-two houses for the princes to live in. Located on the bank of Jishui, the upper circle of the alliance altar is symmetrical, east, west, north and south, and the law is odd and even. The inner ring of the altar of the alliance, the order of the princes is strict, Zhu Ganyu Qi, towering against each other, the dragon flag and leopard Tao, and the suppression is wrong.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the day before yesterday, the princes who participated in the alliance rushed to Huangchi one after another to meet with Zhao Wuxian.

Lu Hou and Wei Hou were originally puppets of Zhao State, and they came as soon as they were summoned. Although Qin Bo, Yan Hou and others were far away, they also arrived in a hurry.

Even the warring Wu and Yue also sent people over, of course, they hoped to win over Zhao, because the hatred between the two countries was too fierce, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat, and Zhao Guohu was in Huaibei, and if he helped Yue, the more he would die Wu, and if he helped Wu, Wu would still be able to live in the whole society.

It was only a self-sustaining power, and the state of Chu, which had always disdained to be in the same column as the princes, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not send anyone to participate. Because Chu has its own unique system, in the south, Chu is the king, how can the king be on the same list as Hou Bozinan?

However, the fact is that even the vassals of Chu State, Chen and Cai, have already embraced Zhao State, and only one of them is still following Chu State.

Zhao Wuxian didn't care whether Chu Guo came or not, what he cared more about was whether the Son of Heaven could arrive on time.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhou also has self-knowledge, and the day before yesterday, Zhou Tianzi finally came.

Zhao Wuxian did not slack off, he led the princes to greet him thirty miles west of the Yellow Pond, invited the Son of Heaven to stay in the palace, and all the princes entered the palace in turn. After the living ceremony, Zhao Wuxian presented another gift: 100 cars, thousands of slaves, and more than 10 cars of gold and silver silk......

When Zhou Wangkuo saw so many gifts, his heart was overjoyed, and his dissatisfaction with Zhao Wuxian suddenly disappeared halfway, because the Zhou family was so poor, so poor that he had to mint large denomination coins to pay off his debts.

Even for these gifts, he had to play his role well in this alliance, so he personally helped up Zhao Wuxian, who was just making a bow, and gave condolences to him, so that he could avoid the gift of the chief inspector, and asked Liu Gong to set up liquor to reward Zhao Hou.

Zhou Tianzi is the co-lord of the world, and he is willing to personally come to visit Zhao Wuxian, a courtier who has only been a prince for a few years, this face is really big: from ancient times to the present, only the lower ministers have seen the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven personally come to comfort the lower ministers, what a favor and glory this is, if the Duke of Qi Huan knows underground, I am afraid that he will be so jealous that he will get up from the soil and complain a few words.

After all, this era is the Spring and Autumn Period, and although the Son of Heaven has fallen into power, he is still the Son of Heaven in name. Gongxi Chi and other Zhao courtiers were also honored, feeling that they were witnessing an epoch-making event, and the tiredness of being busy was a little less.

Yesterday was the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was also the busiest day for Gongxi Chi, he had to preside over the grand and grand employment procedures, read out the letters of advice for those earnest words, personally hold the tortoise shell, do good fortune divination, and sacrifice three animals for the Son of Heaven and the princes, and respectfully and piously sacrifice to the gods and ghosts...... Finally, there is also an elegant and graceful banquet and poetry.

At this point, the alliance has reached its climax, but Gong Xichi knows that everything before is just foreplay, and the main meal will be held on the day of the New Year's Day.

That is the ceremony when Zhao Wuxian was appointed by the Son of Heaven as Uncle Hou!

At noon on January 1, Zhou Tianzi was already sitting on the main seat of the alliance, and the princes and doctors of the 20th Route also arrived at the main venue neatly.

Their eyes were focused on one person, that was Zhao Hou Wuxian, who was standing in the center of the alliance altar and listening to the edict!

……

"Qi Jin has been humbled, there is no uncle in the world, the group of fierce coveters, the temple lacks worship, give a person a dream of sleeping, and worship in front of the temple of civil and military affairs: 'Only the ancestor is the father, the humerus is the first, who can support the Zhou room?' It is tempting the heart of heaven, giving birth to Zhao Hou without mercy, re-establishing order, shielding into a week, and giving a person a real reliance, and now will give you a ceremony, and he respectfully listens to the life of a person! ”

On the altar of the Huangchi Society, Zhao Wuxian Xuanduan was wearing a white fur, wearing a jade with a sword, and was under the order of the Son of Heaven.

The edicts in the genre of "Shangshu" are very long and awkward, and even have been detached from the oral language of this era, and others are drowsy when they listen to it.

However, Zhao Hou was in good spirits, he hung his head slightly respectfully, as if he was listening carefully, and as if he was thinking about something......

He is now thinking, what is the situation of the "Yellow Pond Meeting" in history?

The reason why Zhao Wuxian chose the location of the princes of the conference in Huangchi was not only because it was located at the hub of Jishui and the transportation was very convenient, but also because in real history, three years later, there was also a meeting alliance here: the alliance between the Wu and Jin states to divide the hegemony equally.

Of course, that is actually the rivalry between Fucha and Zhao Ying.

Historically, Wu became a hegemon in the southeast after breaking Chu in the west and defeating Xu, Qi and Lu in the north. Then march to the northwest and will be promoted to the public in Huangchi. Jin Dinggong is a puppet, so naturally he can't hold up the scene, and Zhao Ying has to come forward in everything.

At that time, the husband was aggressive and said: "Among the clansmen of the Zhou family, Wu Guo has the highest seniority, and I will take blood first." "How could Zhao Ying's violent temper admit to a tattooed barbarian? also did not give in: "In the surname Ji, the Jin Kingdom has always been the overlord, I will shed blood first!" ”

The two sides quarreled, and almost resorted to force, and the husband also asked 30,000 armor soldiers to arrange troops outside and hold a military parade to demonstrate to the Jin State.

The Jin people were afraid, but the veteran Zhao Ying saw that Wu was strong and strong, and learned that Yue had attacked Wu from the rear, so he insisted on not letting it. The state of Wu couldn't afford to drag it out, and in the end, the indispensable husband could only lower his arrogant head, remove the king's title and call him "Duke of Wu", and let Zhao Ying take the blood first, thus determining the hegemony struggle at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

When he looked at this history in his previous life, Zhao Wuxian didn't have much feeling, but at this time, when he recalled Zhao Ying's voice and smile, he suddenly felt very cordial about this incident and this place.

He said silently in his heart: "Father, the kid didn't disgrace you, he taught his husband a lesson in advance, let him go back to the south a few years ago to fall in love with Gou Jian, and today's Huangchi meeting, he also sent a messenger to curry favor with Zhao Guo......"

What's more, the "Huangchi Meeting" was actually very deserted, only the Lu family came to cheer for Jin and Wu, and the rest of the princes were busy and didn't bother to pay attention. Jin and Wu divided the hegemony equally, and then one was torn apart, and the other was stabbed by the Yue State through the back door, and died in less than ten years...... It can be seen that the so-called hegemony is just a false name.

And today's meeting of Huangchi, Zhao Wuxian's hegemony, but it is real, the countries participating in the meeting, basically are convinced, in terms of scale and scene, it has already crowned China, shaking the ancient and modern!

Looking up at the sun, Wuxian thought: If Zhao Ying is knowledgeable, he will also be proud of himself, right?

……

On the stage of the alliance, Zhao Wuxian was outside the world, but off the stage, there were people watching him without blinking.

Worshipping him, admiring him, and even jealous of him, this is Nanzi's mood at this moment.

It's a pity that her relationship with him can't be on the table after all, and she can't stand by his side to share it. It's a pity that she is a woman and is destined not to have this kind of glory of princes coming to court.

She can only pin her hopes on the next generation.

Zishang is four years old and can walk and speak, as the Duke of Song, he was also brought by Nanzi to witness this scene.

Stroking his son's soft hair, Nanzi pointed to the people on the stage and said to him gently:

"My son, in the future, you will also be like your father!"

Zishang nodded blankly, but the gaze in Nanzi's eyes became more and more hot.

"I'm talking about more than just a mere overlord......

After arriving at Huangchi the day before yesterday, Nanzi had a secret meeting with Zhao Wuxian, and after making out, she made a bold suggestion to him:

"The opportunity is rare, it is better to take advantage of the princes to capture and kill the king of Zhou, and the king can replace him and become the new son of heaven! In order to comply with the prophecy of King Xuan's general xing! ”

In Nanzi's view, Ji Zhou was a traitor to Yin Shang and the culprit who destroyed Dayi Shang. At that time, Emperor Xin was conquering Dongyi, but he did not prevent the small state Zhou from killing from the west, the battle of Muye, bloodshed, and then the Zhou Gong's eastward expedition, I don't know how many Yin people died, and their clans were scattered and displaced.

Although six hundred years have passed, Nanzi still feels that this incident is vivid when she flips through the words on those oracle bones, which makes her hateful. Now the surname Zhao is strong and prosperous, sweeping the princes, and there is no opponent in the Central Plains. Zi and Ying, originally the same line as Emperor Jun, the first of the Zhao family, and the courtier of Yin Shang. This is a good opportunity to avenge Yin Shang! Zhao Wuxian should not be afraid of the head and tail and entangle those details, but should kill the king of Zhou, come to Luoyang, seize Jiuding, and come to the world with the respect of the Son of Heaven!

However, Zhao Wuxian seemed to be taken aback by her crazy thoughts at that time, and shook his head and said: "Don't be impatient, the time has not come, and the matter of being called the king should be slowly planned." ”

Slowly? Nanzi is not the kind of person who likes to wait, but she also knows that in the relationship between the two people, who is the lord and who is the minister, it is not advisable to disobey Zhao Wuxian, so she can only forcibly endure it and swallow those words back into her stomach.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't do anything.

"Aoi." Waving, Nanzi asked her cronie Wu Zhu Nu Aoi to come up.

"Did that nursery rhyme get out?"

Nukui lowered her eyebrows and said: "It spread last month, and at this time, the entire Song Kingdom, and even the neighboring countries, I am afraid that everyone knows about it. ”

Nanzi nodded with satisfaction and let Nu Kui go down.

She continued to look at the lover on the altar of the alliance, as if she was affectionate, but the corners of her red mouth showed a hint of a scheming smile.

Although she surrendered to Zhao Wuxian, the secret game between the two never stopped!

Unconsciously, Nanzi's hand stroking his son's hair began to beat briskly.

Zishang looked up suspiciously, just in time to see the corners of his mother's mouth slightly upturned, and she was gently humming a nursery rhyme:

"Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, ride thousands of miles to the north!"

PS: Historical books since the pre-Qin period have different accounts of the outcome of the Huangchi Alliance. Among them, the "Zuo Biography" records in detail the process of the Jin State's first blood, indicating that the Jin State became the leader of the alliance. "Historical Records: Wu Taibo's Family" also records that "Zhao Yingfu is angry and will attack Wu, which is the chief of Jin and Dinggong." ”

However, in the "Chinese", it is mentioned that Fucha showed off his force against the Jin state, forcing the Jin state to respect Wu as the leader of the alliance. "Historical Records: Zhao Shijia", "Historical Records: Jin Family", and "Historical Records: Qin Benji" also appear in the record that Wu Guo became the leader of the alliance.

This book adopts the former. (To be continued.) )
