Chapter 42: The Heroes of the World (2)
After a period of silence, Qu Ling and Meng Shuo glanced at each other and did not speak, just looked at Zhang Yi quietly.
In Zhang Yi's heart, there was an indescribable awkwardness, he was squeezed out by the courtiers of the Qin State, and the King of Qin Wu listened to and believed it, he could have done his best to assist the Qin State for a few years, but now it is good.
"Forget it, let's discuss with them King Chuzhuang's 'Winning the Central Plains' first, and it's better not to mention King Qin Wu's 'Winning the Central Plains' for the time being!" ’
The accompanying guards have been cleared by the river, a vacant lot, and the fishing gear of several people has also been placed neatly.
Zhang Yi stood up and said:
"How is your rest, why don't we go to the river and discuss while fishing?"
"Good!" Qu Ling. Meng Shuo echoed and got up and walked to the river. As far as the eye could see, the entourage had cleared a spot by the river and placed the fishing tackle used by several people. Zhang Yi made a gesture of courtesy, asked Qu Ling to sit in the first place, Qu Ling excused himself, after a few polite gestures, several people became a lot more accommodating, and Zhang Yi no longer shirked and sat in the first seat.
Qu Ling sat next to him, and Meng said he sat at the back. Qu Ling didn't have time to answer Zhang Yi's question because of his distraction just now, and now that he thinks about it, his current identity is an envoy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and if he doesn't know anything about that period of history, it seems out of place.
Qu Ling was the first to speak:
"Sir! Emperor Yu Rende cloth in the Quartet, the people of the world only rushed to offer bronze, cast into Jiuding, this Chu barbarians, do not know the etiquette, 'win the Central Plains' is just wishful thinking, although there is brute force, what a way! How can it be worth remembering! ”
As soon as Zhang Yi heard Qu Ling's remarks, the typical old-fashioned Zhou Tianzi still couldn't let go of his status as the co-ruler of the world, and seemed to be still immersed in the glorious years before King Ping's eastward migration.
Zhang Yi didn't defend either, thinking to himself, 'How many years have passed since King Zhou Ping moved east to the three families were divided, and the outside world has long been beaten into a pot of paste, how come the people around the Son of Heaven this week have not come to their senses, the land under the rule of the Son of Heaven is less than a hundred miles away, and the strength is weak and vulnerable.
Besides, although the strength is weak, there is no shortage of rare treasures that were paid tribute by the vassal states back then, and they are piled up in the treasury. The State of Zhao has encroached on the land in the north of Zhou Tianzi and assigned it to its own country, and the State of Qin is also ready to move, wanting to swallow it in one bite. It's just that due to the balance of power in the world, all countries are afraid, and once this balance is broken, Zhou Tianzi will completely disappear from the stage of history. ’
Zhang Yi is smiling, decades of temple planning have long made Zhang Yi's vertical and horizontal learning, tempering perfection, and exaggerated interpretation of the description of his skills have long been not difficult, but today I like the girl in front of me quite much, and when I speak, I will have less of the stakes in the past, and I am much more relaxed and casual.
What the girl said is not unreasonable, Emperor Yu has merit in controlling the water, the merit is at that time, and the benefit is in the future. Three through the door without entering, can put the world's great interests in the high place of personal interests, high morality, so the people of the world, are very admired Emperor Yu's benevolence, so from all directions, send bronze, gold, for Emperor Yu to cast Ding. At that time, the world was divided into Kyushu, and Emperor Yu used these gold and bronze to cast nine tripods respectively, and used these nine tripods to represent Kyushu.
These nine states are Yuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou.
These nine tripods are respectively, Yuzhou Ding, Jizhou Ding, Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yongzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding.
This Jiuding has also become a symbol of state power. Business. The three generations all used Jiuding as a heavy weapon to pass on the country, and it was owned by those who won the world.
On the top of Jiuding, there are local mountains and rivers, rare and exotic beasts, acres of land, and population distribution......
In the third year of Lu Xuangong (606 B.C.), the Chuzhuang Wang Xiong Brigade crusaded against Lu Hun Zhirong, took the opportunity to Chen Bing on the south bank of Luoshui, the majestic palace, the solid city wall, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty standing in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, the Chu Zhuang Wang Xiong Brigade who took advantage of the victory, was arrogant, behind it was tens of thousands of elites of their own Chu State, although the city in front of them was strong, but as long as a few charges, it would be broken by the iron hooves of Chu State.
The King Xiong Brigade of Chuzhuang, when he was complacent, made a very absurd move, he lined up all the elites of Chu on the coast of Luoshui, at the foot of the capital.
Maybe he wanted to use such a powerful soldier to wash away the Great Zhou Dynasty's hundreds of years of discrimination, contempt, and even ignorance of him.
The young King Zhou Ding, panicked, and hurriedly sent his own minister, Wang Sun Man, to spy on the reality of the Chu army in the name of ****.
King Xiong of Chuzhuang was not polite, and asked straight to the point:
'I heard that Zhou Tianzi has nine tripods, but the widow doesn't know, how much do these tripods weigh? ”
Hearing this, Qu Ling got up and said:
"Where's the win? is clearly challenging Zhou Tianzi's authority! "The feeling of indignation is about to come out.
"Angel, what you said is true, this Chuzhuang Wang Xiong Brigade, the implication is just to say, 'You Da Zhou, you still have a few catties and a few taels to command the world, why don't you transfer the right to command the world to me!' Zhang Yi continued.
Meng said that although he knew this allusion, he did not have such a detailed description by Zhang Yi, and when he heard this, he asked impatiently:
"Prime Minister, what happened later?"
"Later! Wang Sunman said to the King Xiong Brigade of Chuzhuang:
"Ruling the world depends on virtue, not on the size of the tripod"
Chu Zhuang Wang Xiong Brigade said very unconvinced:
"Don't rely on Jiuding to prevaricate me, our Chu State holds a million halberds, and today I let these soldiers break off the small teeth on the halberd, which is enough to cast Jiuding."
Wang Sunman did not retreat because of the arrogance of the King Xiong Brigade of Chuzhuang, but continued to display his demeanor as an outstanding diplomat in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wang Sunman quickly changed the topic and continued:
"Don't you remember that Emperor Yu is because of his noble virtues, he will be supported by the princes of the world, and the princes of the world worship from the bottom of their hearts, so they will dedicate their precious gold and bronze. Xia Wei had no way, Ding went to Shang, the king of Shang was brutal, and Jiuding was in the hands of Zhou.
If the Son of Heaven is virtuous, even if he can pick it up with one hand, he will be supported by the people of the world.
If the Son of Heaven is not virtuous and brutal, even if it is as big as a mountain, it will be spurned and overthrown by the people of the world.
King Cheng settled in Luoyang, and the wizard divined dozens of times, and the results showed that the Zhou Dynasty would have a lifespan of 700 years, which was the destiny of heaven!
Although Zhou De is declining, his destiny has never changed. The size of the tripod, you still don't have to ask! ”
The Xiong Brigade of the King of Chuzhuang not only fell into contemplation, although his own force was invincible in the world, but it was not recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty, but what it brought to him was a deep fear, which was another ruthless blow to the barbarians of the Chu State.
'If you want to be recognized by the Central Plains country, it is not only the amount of money, the length of the hook spear, but also the thickness of the culture' King Chuzhuang ordered the army to be withdrawn in infinite contemplation. ”
Zhang Yi talked eloquently, like an eyewitness, describing the details of what happened at that time, if it is placed today, he is definitely a good screenwriter, at least he should be a great joker.
Qu Ling. Meng said that he was fascinated by what he heard, and the Mohists discussed more about the flow of technology, such as the role of force and the imaging of small holes. Then there is the topic of labor, or the method of defending the city, and there is little talk about the diplomatic events that have taken place. Zhang Yi has been in various countries for many years, and naturally these descriptions are like a number of family treasures, and the colorful descriptions bring people into the division of the time.
"Alas! Alas! A big fish took the bait. Zhang Yi's fishing rod kept trembling, and Fang Cai's high-minded talk did not affect Zhang Yi's fishing skills, and he was the first to have a fish bite the hook. Zhang Yi followed the fish's swimming, adjusting the direction back and forth, and her mouth was still not idle.
"These fish are quite pitiful! When I saw my favorite food, I rushed up desperately, and I didn't care about the hook behind the bait. It took Zhang Yi a lot of effort and a long time to pull the fish out of the water.
"Oops! What a big carp! Qu Ling said in amazement.
Zhang Yi proudly brought the fish into his hand and said:
"Such a fat Yellow River carp actually swam into Luoshui, which is also the destiny of heaven! Girl, why don't we cook this fish on the spot, how about wine? Zhang Yi suggested.
"What the gentleman said is good, I'll go and prepare!" Qu Ling said as he got up and wanted to get the fish.
Zhang Yi flashed and said:
"Hey... With such a vulgar skill, how can I bother the angels to do it, come to someone, remove the scales of this fish, disembowel, and steam it, and I will not get drunk with the angels and strong men for a while."
"Nuo" has already waited by the side of the person, the fish is taken away with both hands, the fish is still turned over and over, how can these generals be born of Ku Ding, the kung fu is good, with the hand to buckle the gills of the fish, even if the fish is capable, it is useless.
Zhang Yi patted the water on his hands and said:
"Don't talk about fish, how can people not be like this, when Qi Huan Gong ate all the food in the world, there was no such delicacy that could provoke his taste buds, he actually remembered to eat a baby, as a cook Yi Ya, heard that his master had a love, and actually killed his infant son, made a dish, and dedicated it to Qi Huan Gong. Qi Huan Gong was full of praise after eating it, and when he learned that it was Yi Ya's child, he was even more amazed by Yi Ya's loyalty.
When Guan Zhong was dying, Qi Huan Gong asked who could be the prime minister and recommended Yi Ya, but Guan Zhong expressed strong opposition, thinking that these excesses were unobtainable, and a person who didn't even love his own children, how could he love you?
Although Qi Huan Gong agreed to Guan Zhong's request at that time, after Guan Zhong's death, Qi Huan Gong still missed the taste of babies very much, and restarted Yi Ya.
The rest of the world knows. After Yi Ya took power, he imprisoned Duke Qi Huan in the deep palace and starved to death. The sons of Duke Qi Huan are even more outrageous. When the overlord of the generation was in power, he waited until the maggots crawled out of the corpse and crawled all over the window before they were buried and retracted. The root of it is like this fish, and he died in the place he liked. ”
"Die in the place you love?" Qu Ling looked at Zhang Yi puzzled, Zhang Yi smiled and said:
"The individual is like that, and so is the country!"
