Chapter 553: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain

PS: Chapter 3 is at night, thanks to the book friend for having no choice but to fall in love and become the helmsman of this book! The previous chapter should be Zheng Zhuang Gong, a clerical error.

In the battle of Jidong at the end of October, the rabble of the Shusun clan was shattered in the rout, and most of them surrendered to the Zhao clan, especially those people forcibly recruited from Yunyi, and they were even more eager to turn against each other.

But the more orderly Ji and Meng mostly managed to escape, with 5,000 Meng retreating to Yuyi and 5,000 Ji retreating to Qufu.

On the banks of Jishui, the inventory of more than 10,000 captives was underway, and doctors and high-ranking soldiers were invited to board the ship. Most of these seven or eight captured doctors were the lords of Qianmuyi east of Qufu, and they didn't have too intuitive feelings about Zhao Wuxian, and they were fooled by Ji Sunsi to participate in the fall of the capital, and they lost the battle as soon as they saw each other, and now it was the relationship between the prisoner and the victor, and they were worried about what Zhao Wuxian would do with them.

Zhao Wuxian didn't have the time to care about these defeated generals, and if he left it for a few days to aggravate their fears, the effect would be better when he had a conversation. He was sitting opposite Confucius at the moment, the gray-haired and curled old man stretched his face, staring at Zhao Wuxian with the eyes of a rebellious minister and thief, and Zhao Wuxian was competing against each other.

"The right and the wrong, the loyal and the traitor, sometimes there is only a thin veil separating them...... The master is familiar with the history of the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, doesn't he know that the official history has always been a black and white reversal record? ”

Confucius closed his eyes slightly: "Although there are many tamperers, most of them are truthfully described, even if Xiao Sikou does such a thing, even if he is not afraid of turbulent public opinion, is he not afraid that after death, he will leave a notoriety like Huadu, Cui Zhu, and Qingfeng?" ”

Zhao Wuxian sighed: "In my opinion. The reason why they have left notoriety is because they eventually lose. The winner is the prince, and the loser is the thief. The things of the world have always been like this. ”

Confucius was furious, and this sentence greatly crossed his bottom line: "The winner is the prince, and the loser is a thief?" Zhao Xiaosikou actually thinks so!? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Wuxian is not as polite to Confucius today as he used to be, and Confucius's knowledge stems from his mastery of the classics of the Xia and Shang dynasties, and after comparison, he thinks that Zhou Li is the best. But Zhao Wuxian saw much farther than him, at this moment, there was no Confucian Saint in this world! Their dialogue is on an equal footing. He's even better!

"My surname is Zhao, and throughout my family history, I am all miserable and sad after defeat. The ancestor of the surname Ying Boyi assisted Dayu to control the water, and made Kyushu prosperous, he was the successor of Xia Yu, but he was forced by Xia Qi to seize the position of the leader of the state alliance, and lived in the sun of Jishan. As a result, after a thousand years, the name of Boyi is not obvious, and the surname Ying is declining. ”

"When I arrived in the Yin Zhou Yi Dynasty, my ancestors Feilian and Evil Lai were originally ministers who assisted Yin Shang in his expedition to Dongyi. After the defeat of Muye, he was said to be a minister, and his descendants were reduced to the ministers and herds who raised horses and drove for the Son of Heaven, isn't this a reversal of black and white? ”

Confucius argued: "It's just the unwillingness of the Ying family......"

Zhao Wuxian smiled: "Is that so?" The ancestor of the master was from the Song Kingdom, and he was also a remnant of Yin Shang with the surname Zi. Then I'll use the business case as an analogy. ”

Kongqiu's pupils shrank, a topic he had always tried to avoid, Zigong had asked. also put forward a very extreme idea: he wanted to overturn the case.

And what kind of opinions will Zhao Wuxian put forward. How should I answer?

……

"I have entered the Tibetan room of the Song Kingdom and have had the privilege of observing the ancient texts of the last years of the Yin Shang Dynasty. It was found that Di Xin's misdeeds were not as serious as the legend ......"

In the current rumors, the crime of King Xuan is the same as Xia Wei's crime, and the cannon burning and torture were done by Xia Wei, and later generations put him on Shang Wei. As for the several crimes of King Wu of Zhou in the "Pastoral Oath", one of them is 'only the words of women are heard', women's involvement in politics is a tradition of the Yin people, and the Zhou people can't understand it, can the master, who is a remnant of the Yin Shang, understand? The second is 'fainting and abandoning the king's parents and brothers', 'but the Quartet has many sins and escapes'. In my opinion, this is a pioneering move by Emperor Xin to abandon his own talents. Lu Guoshang 'kisses, respect', the prince is in power, the relationship between the secretary and the doctor is complicated, and the retainers are intertwined, and the evil consequences caused by this system in the Lu country must have been seen by the master, and Lu has been weak since then. On the contrary, the Qi State that was divided at the same time made meritorious contributions and eventually became a great coastal power......"

Zhao Wuxian's hand fell on the wine bottle, and in the reflection of the thin wine, he seemed to see the dust of history, and his voice became cold: "Why has such a merchant been added with so much notoriety? The reason is not that he becomes a king or loses a villain, once he is defeated and is in the lower class, all the bad things and bad names in the world will be attributed to him! ”

Confucius didn't answer, and he also looked at the wine cup in a daze, because what Zhao Wuxian said was not wrong, and he couldn't argue.

Wuxian pointed to the messy battlefield under the afterglow of the sunset: "King Wen of Zhou was ordered by the sky when he was still a minister of Yin Shang, this is arrogance, King Wu of Zhou during his father's filial piety, brazenly entangled the eight countries to attack Dayi Shang, this is a rebellion." Today, I just sent back the three ministers who wanted to cross the Jishui and fight with me, which is too far from what King Wen and King Wu did, so the master still don't talk to me about nominal justice or not. ”

Confucius was silent, he was originally a Yin person, but he became a believer in Zhou Li, praising the virtue of King Wen, saying that King Wen Chang "has two out of three parts of the world, and serves Yin", is a perfect person. But he has a lot of complaints about King Wu, saying that King Wu is "perfect, not perfect", and the hurdle in his heart that he can't get over is the fact that King Wu is cutting down and the country is ruined.

He had to say something after all, although his mouth was dry: "This is different, the reason why King Wu is a righteous teacher is because he wants to save the people of Yin from tyranny...... As the saying goes, the sky listens to itself and the people listen, and the sky sees itself and the people see. ”

"Good!" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Wuxian slapped his hands and said with a smile: "What the master said is good, since the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the superiority and inferiority are so easy to confuse black and white, I think it is better to decide righteousness and injustice according to the will of the people." Sanhuan and I are good and bad for the people, it is clear at a glance, who can support the backbone of the Lu country between Sanhuan and me, and it is also clear at a glance in the face of Qi, Wu and other big countries to suppress and defend the interests of the Lu people. In this way, I cut down Sanhuan, and I am a vegetarian who kills the corpse with a virtuous minister, and I am a righteous person! ”

……

Kong Qiu was completely speechless, and he fell into Zhao Wuxian's sophistry.

The most devastated thing today was not the overnight collapse of the "Fallen Four Capitals", which had been painstakingly operated for months, on the banks of the Jishui River, but the fact that the concept he had always believed in was poked open by Zhao Wuxian.

With the spear of the other and the shield of the other, Confucius was dumbfounded to find that after coming back from a circle, his accusation against Zhao Wuxian turned pale and weak. On the contrary, Zhao Wuxian's words sound very reasonable, King Wu of Zhou is still praised by the world for his ministers, but Zhao Wuxian has not yet reached that level, and he does love the people......

No, no, no, it's still not right, for Kongqiu, he pursues results, but the process must also be meticulous, and he can't mix in the slightest impurity, so he can refuse various appointments and stay up for decades before entering politics.

He gritted his teeth and launched a final struggle: "I heard that Si Kou supported Sicheng Le and his daughter Nanzi in the Song Kingdom, and the Zhengtai of the Song State has fallen into the hands of the Zhao family. I also know that Si Kou's purpose is nothing more than to get the government of the Lu State, so as to get the weight of the Jin State. I also believe that Si Kou loves the people like a son, however, the politician is right, and Si Kou is not right, who dares to be right? The position is not right, although the order is not obeyed ......"

Zhao Wuxian said regretfully: "My master and I are destined to be different, I believe that the winner gets justice, I only look at the result, but I don't care about the process." No matter how many gossips, no matter how turbulent public opinion is, I can walk straight, I will sit upright, and I will sit down in the top three seats in the Qufu court! ”

The differences between the two are like a huge ravine, lying between them, but Kong Qiu can't care about the battle of ideas now, he knows that this is the last chance to save the old system of the Lu State and save Zhou Li......

He stood up and waved his sleeves and said, "Arrogance! You're not there yet! The outcome is unknown. ”

Zhao Wuxian raised his eyes to look at the tall and stubborn old man: "Really? ”

"The Ji family and the Meng family have escaped, Qufu is difficult to fortify, and once the Lu country is in turmoil, it will be the people who will suffer for many years. It's better to stop here, eliminate military equipment, and implement Zhou etiquette, I am willing to write to the monarch of the country, and seal it to the west of Jishui, and let you replace your uncle and grandson, become a secretary, and become a ...... The Great Priest! The Ji family is nearly half a hundred years old, and the Meng family is not young, as long as he waits patiently, he will definitely be promoted to the ruling office within ten or twenty years, how so? ”

Confucius was sincere in his words and earnest in his eyes, two years ago, he had nothing, even the only Zhongdu Yi was broken by someone, and he could only drive an ox cart with two beloved disciples to Feiyi to persuade Gongshan not to be ruthless. Everyone thought that the contradiction between the Gongshan clan and Ji Sunsi could not be reconciled, but under the persuasion of Kong Qiu, they were really able to turn the conflict into a jade silk.

Maybe today, he can perform the same miracle?

But Zhao's answer shattered his expectations.

"Alas, Master, if you had proposed it a month ago, I might have accepted it, but now it is impossible, because I will win!"

Although he did not agree with Confucius's ideas, he still respected the old man in front of him very much, and even treated him with the courtesy of a teacher.

But in Game of Thrones there are only losers and winners, and he will no longer make concessions to Confucius!

Confucius felt that he had stepped on the edge of a cliff when he retreated, and he said eagerly: "The Ji clan and the Meng clan still have an army of 10,000...... They are still rightfully governed, and they are ...... in power."

Zhao Wuxian dipped his fingers in wine, and drew a map on the desk: "The Meng family fled to Yunyi, Meng Sun He Ji is mediocre, and he has no courage and ability to fight back after leaving the housekeeper, I only need a partial division of 1,000 people to make him shrink into the city, and he can't be worried, this person is not to worry." As for Ji's ......"

He once again began to challenge Confucius's bottom line: "Master, do you remember what I said about the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch behind?" I'm afraid you don't know that at the same time that Sanhuan rushed to Jishui to fight with me, Feiyi Gongshan was not ruthless! He will attack Qufu with thousands of Fei people, and if Ji Sunsi goes back quickly, he will just be able to collide! If you are a few steps slower...... Qufu, where the soldiers are empty, is afraid that it will be taken down by the Gongshan clan! (To be continued.) )
