Chapter 1219: Spring and Autumn I am King!

"No matter what kind of humiliation he suffers, Bugu will go to Yecheng to make Zhao Wuxian satisfied, so that the Zhao family will have no excuse to attack Chu next year and the year after, so that the Chu State can survive this dangerous period."

Xiong Zhang remembered that after Zhong Ziqi repaid Zhao Wuxian's great desire to "King the world, towards Qin Chu", he said so.

The young monarch of the Chu State, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the country, and went to the cold north to cheer for the ceremony of Zhao Wuxian's Zhou, just to let the country continue.

Before going north, Xiong Zhang said goodbye to Ye Gong, and made a great determination, and said to Ye Gong: "Bugu is going to Ye this time, counting the number of days spent on the alliance meeting, plus the time to go back and forth, it will not exceed a hundred days." Within 100 days, Bugu has not returned, so please ask Ye Gong to choose one from the Chu State Office to succeed to the throne, if there is no one to succeed him, you can take it yourself! In this way, the delusion of the Zhao family's coercion can be cut off! β€œ

The wind is Xiao Xiaoxi, Jianghan soup soup, the people of Yingdu Chu are all dressed and crowned for Xiong Zhang, Zhong Ziqi drums, Ye Gong and the subjects of Chu State all sang the sad Chu song, and the Chu people wept......

With the resentment of never returning, Xiong Zhang still waited for the car to go north, and in the cold winter wax moon, he came to Yecheng with carefully selected tributes, and the great Honglu of Zhao received him and led him to meet Zhao Wuxian.

On December 31, in the Weiyang Palace, Xiong Zhang saw the overlord of the Central Plains who "ambushed millions of corpses and bled thousands of miles when he was angry".

After more than ten steps, Zhao Wuxian sat on top and asked, "If you count from Ji Lian, the Chu people have a history of nearly a thousand years, right?" β€œ

After speaking, Zhao Wuxian also asked people to take out the "World Book", and Xiao looked through the lineage of Chu with interest.

Chu is a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, and it is also an ancient clan in the Central Plains, with Zhurong as its ancestor. When he arrived at Yin Shang, he was conquered by merchants, and Ji Lian was forced to move south to Jingshan, so he had the name of Jingchu.

"Tart the other and fight against Jing Chu. Fall into its obstacles, and make a journey. There is a place to intercept it, and Tang Sun's thread. In order to fight against Yin Shang, their ancestor Mane Xiong also took refuge in King Wen of Zhou, because of this origin, when King Zhou became king, he was able to be listed as a prince, but only the "son of Chu" of the barbarian state.

At the meeting of King Qiyang of Zhou Cheng, the first generation of Chu Zi Xiong Yi could only guard the fire of the alliance with Rong Di, and did not participate in the official alliance.

It was the most humble and humiliating moment for the Chu people, but after that, they were ashamed and brave, and began to build a strong country in the mountains and forests.

Only a hundred years later, the state of Chu, which was already a powerful state in the south, caused King Zhao of Zhou, who came to conquer the south, to no longer recover, and died in Jianghan, avenging the humiliation of the Qiyang meeting that year.

When he arrived at Xiongqu, he was even more remarkable, not only arrogating the king's title, but also sealing his three sons as kings to show his confrontation with Zhou.

Since then, "Disobedience Zhou" and "I'm a barbarian!" By the time King Wen of Chu and King Cheng of Chu, the State of Chu had swept across the south, wiped out the concubines of Hanyang, and had a radius of thousands of miles, just like a new southern court that fought against the Zhou Dynasty. Even the first-generation overlord Qi Huan Gong and the famous minister Guan Yiwu couldn't hold back the momentum of their rise, and the meeting of the Summoning Tomb ended in a hurry. After killing Song Xianggong, the power of Chu has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains and reached the Yellow River......

If it weren't for the birth of Duke Wen of Jin and the Jin State, I am afraid that the State of Chu would have already succeeded in winning the championship, entered Luoyang, reformed Zhou's life, and established a new dynasty......

Although the battle of Chengpu was lost, the state of Chu did not hurt its muscles and bones, and then the state of Chu was unbearable, and it was also the hegemon of the south, sharing hegemony with the Jin state, and there were mutual victories and defeats. Although the people of Wu are confidants and can invade Yingdu, they cannot conquer Chu, let alone let Chu people bow their heads and show weakness.

Now it is different, four hundred years have passed since the Qiyang Meeting, except for King Wen of Zhou and King Cheng of Zhou, Zhao Wuxian, he was the first person to force the Chu people to bow their heads and submit......

"He must be very proud! Isn't it just to show the people of the Central Plains that his martial arts of Zhao Wuxian have far surpassed Qi Huan and Jin Wen, and even Yin Wu and Zhou Zhao? How powerful, can force the state of Chu to remove the king's name, claim to be a subordinate, and come to the Hajj to see him! β€œ

Facing Zhao Wuxian's playful laughter, Xiong Zhang hated and was ashamed, but under the roof, how could he not bow his head? Now that the Zhao clan has unified the Central Plains and captured half of the mountains and rivers of the Chu State within three months, he can only bow his head, can only prostrate at his feet, and offer the bloody tribute of the Chu State with both hands: He's Bi, Suihou Zhu, and Zhao Wuxian's bud Mao.

After this court meeting, He's bi was taken away by the people of Weiyang Palace, and Zhao Wuxian said that he would let this treasure be carved into a jade seal by skilled craftsmen as a national treasure. And a few Suihou beads should have been given to the ladies in the palace, but Zhao Wuxian said that this thing was "afraid of radiation", which made people hide in the treasury and not allow people to approach.

After finally coming out of the difficult court, Xiong Zhang and other princes came to see Zhao Wuxian's princes and doctors to participate in the banquet. However, at the banquet, he was told again that his business was not over, and tomorrow, that is, on the first day of the New Year's Day, Zhao Wuxian would be enthroned as the new emperor, and he would have to play an important role in the venue......

"What, let me shrink on stage?"

……

Bud grass is a kind of thatch in the south, also known as Jing grass, abundant near Jingshan, this kind of thing is the traditional tribute of the Chu State, mainly used for wine sacrifice. There are many impurities in rice wine, so it is turbid, and it is rude and insincere to use this wine to worship the gods or ancestors, so it is necessary to filter out the lees with the essence grass first, put the wine slurry into a large clay jar, and the wine stained with the spirit grass becomes the sacrificial wine......

At that time, Duke Qi Huan entangled the princes to crusade against the Chu people, and one of the two reasons for asking for the guilt was that the Chu people did not pay tribute to Zhou Tianzi, and Zhou Tianzi "couldn't shrink the wine".

This kind of thing was originally done by Wu Zhu or a ceremonial official, but now Zhao Wuxian named Xiong Zhang to do it, as if he was a subordinate.

This is a very humiliating practice, Xiong Zhang's face is full of reluctance, and he wants to excuse himself on the grounds that this kind of thing is not in line with etiquette.

Zhao Wuxian smiled and didn't say a word, only made a look, and his ceremonial official Gong Xihua said sarcastically: "Sixty years ago, Chu Junzhao (King Chu Kang) died, and Lu Xianggong went to Yingdu to attend the funeral. Since the Marquis of Chu is willing to submit to the Zhao family, he will officially become a vassal prince of the king from tomorrow, why not? ”

Xiong Zhang is also a hot-blooded man, and when he heard this, he almost got up with the case, but fortunately, the Yue State Shangqing Wen Chong next to him stopped him.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan," Wen Chong wrote in the palm ......of Xiong Zhang's hand with wine, and then persuaded Xiong Zhang, who was angry to sit down, and reluctantly agreed to the matter.

Zhao Wuxian's ministers snickered in their hearts, and even the princes and feudal lords of the Central Plains gloated, this was a huge victory over Chu in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and it was also a trophy that Zhao Wuxian used to show off his martial arts.

So, the next day, even if 10,000 were unwilling, Chuhou Xiongzhang could only have a gloomy face, holding the native thatched bud he brought, and under the guidance of Gong Xihua, he walked to the "Temple of Heaven" that had just been built in Weiyang Palace.

……

This "Temple of Heaven" was originally a mound used by Xia Shang Zhou to worship the heavens, and Zhao Wuxian waved his pen and renamed it "Temple of Heaven".

The Temple of Heaven has three layers, the stairs are nine hundred and eighty-one in total, it is paved with artemisia leaf bluestone, the pillar railing of white jade stone, around the mound, each layer of the altar is divided into inner and outer circles, and the fan-shaped stones are spread out nine times, and the rest are all used in multiples of nine to symbolize the number of days.

The outermost part of the Temple of Heaven is unfurled with flags. Swallow-jawed tiger heads, burly and strong, with crowns and crowns, the feather forest guards wield bows and spears, guarding them. The clansmen, ministers, generals, and even vassal states, feudal monarchs, and barbarian envoys of the Zhao clan all wore solemn dresses, clustered into a large and larger circle, and looked at everything on the Temple of Heaven with their eyes in their eyes, the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant and depressing, but there was a faint excitement hidden underneath.

The first layer of the Temple of Heaven is where the nine big tripods representing the rivers and mountains of Kyushu are placed, and after staying in Luoyang, Yuzhou for hundreds of years, they finally returned to the land of Jizhou, where the Yin Ruins and Xia Ruins are located......

The second layer is the place where the wine vessels used in the sacrifice are placed, decorated with red silk yin feathers, and Xiong Zhang stops here, swallowing his anger and letting Gong Xihua manipulate it, holding the bud grass for the wine shrinking ceremony.

is called shrinking wine, in fact, he only needs to make a comparison, and the rest of the things will naturally be completed by the people arranged by Zhao Wuxian. In the past few days, Xiong Zhang's every move has been monitored, and he has no chance to secretly poison him......

After finally completing his work, Xiong Zhang was finally able to step aside.

At this time, the protagonist and supporting role of today's drama finally came, and when he turned around, Xiong Zhang saw a character who was unlucky than him on the steps: the last emperor of Zhou.

……

Since the death of King Jing of Zhou four years ago, the crown prince of Zhou was also demoted, Zhou was divided into the territory of Eastern Zhou Jun and Western Zhou Jun. The newly succeeded Son of Heaven was a complete puppet, Xiong Zhang couldn't even remember his name, and no one cared about it.

The fate of the last Zhou Tianzi has been predestined since he was supported to succeed to the throne: he exists to accompany Zhao Wuxian to complete the ceremony of the Mandate of Heaven today!

Today, this young man of the same age as Xiong Zhang has a pale, no hanging beads on his crown, eight colors in court clothes, and a big gui inserted in his waist, which is the same as the dress of King Qiyang of Zhou Cheng back then, but his bearing is no longer what he used to be. He trembled and ascended to the third floor of the Temple of Heaven, knelt down on the stiff ground, and began to tell the Haotian God the fact that "Zhou De has been exhausted".

"King Xiwen was ordered, King Wu Keyin, King Jing Quartet, King Kang Ximin, and built his mother and brother to Fan Ping Zhou. However, as for King Yi and King Li, the country is in decline, and the princes interfere in politics. Later, although there was King Xuan, the rule of Chengkang could not be returned, the difficulty of Lishan, the death of King You, fortunately relying on the power of the princes, King Ping moved east to Luoyi, but the world has been in a state of disorder. Since then, the king has lost the world, the world has lost the king, Zhou can not protect China, the southern barbarians and the northern Di invaded, China is endless, and then the princes strive for it, the lord is prosperous, and Zhou can not be controlled. The rebellion of the sub-dynasty, the war in the Zhou room, the chaos was unbearable...... The throne passed to Yu Xiaozi, and the situation went from bad to worse. Haotian is above, Zhou De has exhausted, can not settle the world, Kyushu is on the verge of subversion and collapse, Haotian God's people, in the water and fire, blame Haotian to send a new Ming King to save ......"

After saying his lines, the last Zhou Tianzi stepped aside, and his gaze, Xiong Zhang's gaze, and the gaze of everyone around the Temple of Heaven were placed on today's protagonist:

Zhao Wuxian's car had stopped under the Temple of Heaven, and the six green horses, according to the etiquette system of the Xia Shang Dynasty, decorated the car cover with black feathers, and built on the car, as if it were the specifications of the Son of Heaven.

After getting out of the car, the refreshed Zhao Wuxian appeared in front of everyone.

He is dressed solemnly today, wearing a big robe and crown, and the shoulders of his robe are woven with sun, moon, and dragon patterns; Weaving stars and mountain patterns on the back; The sleeves are woven with fire, Chinese insects, and Zongyi patterns. There are two algae, two powdered rice, two yellow, and two yellow. The so-called "Twelve Coins", which are the costumes of the Son of Heaven, each has its own meaning.

The sword "Tai'a" offered by Chu Guo on his waist, step by step, like a tiger climbing the mountain, Zhao Wuxian walked towards the top of the Temple of Heaven.

It is also a coincidence, yesterday was still rainy, today is an auspicious day for the New Year, the sky is beautiful, it is a blue sunny weather, the white Temple of Heaven mound under the gaze of the eyes of the sky, it looks sacred and atmospheric!

Zhao Wuxian smiled slightly.

It's fitting to witness the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one!

……

Before this, Zhao Wuxian had also hesitated in what way to end the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Tianzi's rule has been like a dead wood that has been decaying for hundreds of years, and he can be wiped out with a flick of his fingers. But in terms of means, he still has to think carefully, and Zhao Wuxian knows that his current status is like that of the first emperor, and any decision he makes is a move that sets a precedent in China and is the object of imitation by future generations.

In ancient China, the Yi Dynasty Ding Ge was nothing more than two kinds of conquest and Zen. Legend has it that Yao Shunyu is Zen Rang, while Shang Tang and Zhou Wu are the revolutionaries!

However, after careful consideration, Zhao Wuxian found that Zen Rang was not reliable at all.

Before the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the state had not yet been formed, and the so-called Yao Shun Chanrang was probably a military democracy in the tribal alliance. Even, the history books of many vassal states record that Shun imprisoned Yao and seized his throne, and was exiled by Yu in his later years, which shows that the replacement of Tang Yao and Yu Shun is still a violent means. The so-called Zen Rang is only the imagination of the Warring States Mohists and Confucianism in ancient times, and in the Han Dynasty, after the vigorous promotion of Han Confucianism, Yao Shun Chan Rang was greatly popular.

Therefore, unless Zhao Wuxian wants to endorse this unreliable replacement model, there is only one way for him to revolutionize Tangwu......

Punish the sin of the Zhou Lord, repeat the Zhou Sheji, and have it...... Sounds great, but it's not that simple.

Although Zhao Wuxian was born with the surname Zhao and was a powerful minister of Yin Shang who was reformed by the Zhou people, he was not interested in avenging the previous dynasty unlike Nanzi, who had always advocated that the disasters suffered by Yin Shang should be returned to the descendants of the Zhou people.

"Yin is due to Xia Li, and the profit and loss can be known; Zhou is due to Yin Li, and the profit and loss can be known. Its successor to Zhou, although it is a hundred generations, can be known ......"

This is a prophecy from Confucius, he is right, you have to admit that Zhou, is a great era. For thousands of years in later generations, China's system and culture were basically the continuation of the Zhou Dynasty, and even Huaxia was only shaped under the Zhou Dynasty's "Xia Jun Yimin" feudal colonial system.

The Zhou system was passed on to the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin system was passed on to Zhao, although Zhao Wuxian claimed to absorb the three-generation system for profit and loss, but most of them were still the template of the Zhou system. He can be domineering today, cut off Zhou Tianzi's head, hang it on the banner, subvert their culture, and pull King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou off the altar and step on 10,000 feet.

But he can't say for sure, after hundreds or thousands of years, if the Zhao family is exhausted, the world is in turmoil, and he is replaced by others, will his descendants also be criticized and liquidated in this way?

In the eyes of Confucius, Zhao Wuxian was a destroyer, he destroyed the old order, but he was not a god, and he could not tear everything down and start over, but had to build a new high-rise building on the basis of the old dynasty.

This is also the reason why China has a long history, but it has always been able to maintain the core and pass it on.

Xia, Shang and Zhou are all part of Chinese history, is it to inherit history and abandon it, or to liquidate and take revenge for the sake of a moment of rampantness, so that Huaxia will once again fall into the selfish blood feud of one family and one surname? Staged a cultural disaster that destroyed the world after overthrowing the old dynasty again and again?

Zhao Wuxian had already made a decision.

Thanks to the Duke of Zhou, thanks to the Zhou people, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this group of very practical politicians has found a good reason for the change of dynasty in later generations.

That is the transfer of destiny!

"Zhou De is done!"

When Zhao Wuxian ascended to the top of the Temple of Heaven, the performance of the last Zhou Tianzi entered a climax, and for this reason, he didn't know how many times he had rehearsed.

"Zhou can't settle the world, but fortunately, God Haotian sent down Zhao Hou without mercy. Zhao Hou is brave and brave, saves the danger, makes China peaceful, and keeps the temple of my ancestors safe, and the people of the world are grateful to Zhao Hou for his generous gifts. Daya. There is a saying in King Wen that the destiny of heaven is unusual, and it only belongs to the virtuous. When Xia did not lose the hearts of the people, everyone respected the Xia Empress and was willing to serve the people, and once they lost the hearts of the people, the people would rather perish with the sun than be ruled by Xia again. When Yin Shang did not lose the hearts of the people, Shang Tang Wuding could also be commensurate with the will of heaven, once he lost his virtue, Yin Ming was reformed by Zhou, Muye fought a battle, and Dayi Shang was destroyed within a day. ”

"Now, Zhou De has exhausted, give the kid back down, and return the position of the Son of Heaven to Haotian God!"

After that, the last Zhou Tianzi began to take off his Son of Heaven clothes, and even the big gui inserted in his waist was smashed on the ground!

Unlike Chan Rang, the position of the Son of Heaven was not directly handed over by Zhou Tianzi to Zhao Wuxian, but was returned to Haotian God first, indicating that he had no virtue and then occupied this position.

And the seductive crown was taken over by Zhao Wuxian from Haotian on his own!

When this ceremony was agreed, Nanzi was originally eager to come, wanting to use the identity of the Great Witch as a medium between Haotian God and Zhao Wuxian, but Zhao Wuxian refused.

This evil head can't be opened!

When it comes to this, the usefulness of Nanzi is no longer great, just spread the rumors of auspiciousness and King Xuan's appointment among the people, and the crown of the Son of Heaven must be taken by the Son of Heaven of the Zhao family! He is the union of king and priest! The power of the monarch is given by heaven and not from anyone else!

Similar to the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it was also King Wen who first claimed to have received the mandate of heaven, and then King Wu of Zhou removed Yin's fate, leaving only one son of heaven in the world who was destined for the mandate......

It was only at this time that Zhao Wuxian could truly become a new emperor, and his new dynasty "Hao" could support the opening of the faΓ§ade!

The ministers congratulated the chief, and said long live the Son of Heaven.

The ceremonial officer lost no time in saying loudly: "Xia Jun said that the queen, Shang Jun said the emperor, and Zhou Jun said the king, each with its own name. Now Haojun is mandated by heaven, raising righteous soldiers, punishing ferocious barbarians, pacifying the world, the sea is thirty-six counties, twelve feudal states, and the laws and regulations are unified. Therefore, you can no longer call yourself the king, nor the emperor, the queen, the ministers, etc., call them the emperor, and call yourself me! ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled, as the big director of this ceremony, all this is what he meant, and said lightly: "But!" β€œ

"Ten thousand years of the emperor!"

In the congratulations of the ministers, the last Zhou Tianzi, who was named "Duke of Zhou" by Zhao Wuxian, walked to the second floor of the Temple of Heaven in despair, and stood with Song Gongzi Shang and Qi Gongwei, who came here thousands of miles away. They are the "three ke" of the Hao Dynasty, all of whom are ranked as the princes, and at this moment, they are together with other princes and envoys of Chu, Qin, and Sanqi to worship the king.

"Within Liuhe, the land of the emperor. A measure of equipment, the same as the text of the book. The sun and the moon shine, and the boat is contained. It's all their fate, and they can't be surprised. When the time comes, it is Emperor Wei. The virtue of the emperor is fixed at the four poles. Punish chaos and eliminate harm, and benefit and bless. Wading quicksand in the west, and reaching the north in the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and Bactria in the north. Wherever people go, there are no subordinates. Gong Gai Five Emperors, Ze and Niu Ma. Don't be virtuous, each in peace! ”

In the sound of singing praises of merit and virtue, only Zhao Wuxian was not satisfied in his heart, he knew very well that although he unified the Central Plains, he could only unify Xiaohuaxia. Chu, Yue, Bashu, Korea, Western Qin, and even Lingnan and Dianchi, only when these places are also completely included in the rule, so that the six contract styles, and Kyushu are coherent, can it be regarded as a real unification!

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek ......"

After so admonishing yourself not to be arrogant, the ceremony is also coming to an end, and next, it is to sacrifice heaven and earth with wine, three prisons and fire, Zhao Wuxian announced the change of the Yuan Jianyuan, amnesty to the world, this year is the first year of the founding of the Yuan, and it is also the first year of China, Zhao Wuxian hopes, the future of China's commemoration, the world commemoration, as the standard.

Pinch your fingers, this year, is also 475 BC. Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian's mood couldn't help but shake.

In the original history, this year, several major events occurred: in Wuyue, the husband was trapped and was dying, and Gou Jian rose to hegemony. In the State of Qi, Chen Heng killed Duke Jian of Qi and seized power, completing a big step for the Chen family to replace Qi, but the princes Yan Ran was dissatisfied. In the Jin Kingdom, this year was also a crucial year for Zhao Xiangzi, he took over the position of the head of the family from Zhao Jianzi, and at the same time, the heads of the three families of Wei and Han Zhi appeared on the stage of history one after another, and they will eventually fight and finally divide the Jin Kingdom.

Therefore, in the annals of Chinese history, according to Sima Qian's "Historical Records. Chronology of the Six Kingdoms", this year is precisely considered to be the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States period......

Now, under the change of Zhao Wuxian, both his personal fate and the course of history are very different.

But this year is also extremely important.

Jiuding migrated, Chu Jun came to the dynasty, King Zhou abdicated, and Zhao was the son of heaven......

Also, Confucius passed away, and the Spring and Autumn Period was gone.

This year is also the end of the "Spring and Autumn Period". However, after the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no Warring States, China did not need another tragic annexation of more than two hundred and fifty years, there was no need for terrible massacres, a new dynasty, set on one. It will lead China into an era of peaceful fighting and cultural prosperity ahead of schedule......

In the future, we still need to explore carefully step by step, and no one can say what will happen, but fortunately, Zhao Wuxian knows the general trend, after all, that is the direction he came from.

While imagining the future, he also looked back at the past and the history called "Spring and Autumn". The past is like smoke, and the history that people know has changed beyond recognition, and with the passage of time, it is about to disappear completely.

And at this moment, Zhao Wuxian, he, as the terminator of the old era, is also the pioneer of the new era.

He is here, standing in the middle of Jiuding, standing on the Temple of Heaven, standing under the blue sky, standing at the historical node called "now".

He was watched by Haotian, facing the admiration or hostility of the people of the world.

Past, present, future...... Zhao Wuxian realized.

"Master, you said that those who are three talents, heaven, earth and man, are always three, and they are kings. But can I think the same way? ”

"He who can use the power of one person to penetrate the past, present, and future can also be king!"

Perhaps, the only one who can do this is him as a traverser, right?

At this moment, he is no longer a passer-by in a hurry, but the master of this period of time.

Zhao Wuxian smiled with relief: "So, this is my Spring and Autumn Festival, I am the king!" ”

PS: 6,000 words big chapter...... It's okay for everyone to use this as the ending, but the real finale is tomorrow.
