Chapter 14: The Tomb of Cai Muhou
Coming together this morning, Zhao Zhen, the chief housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion, felt that there was something wrong with his master.
Don't think that in the official system of the Han Dynasty, the smallest is the county, the middle is the county, the top is the state, and the top is the imperial court.
This is a big mistake.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen was derelict in his duties and ordered the prime minister to send another person to assassinate various places, which was not often placed.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to place the "thorn" in the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the meaning of checking and asking questions.
These officials toured the counties and counties, and the country was divided into thirteen prefectures, and each ministry had one person, which was later commonly known as the Assassin History.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the country into thirteen prefectures, each of which was a supervision area, and set up a person to supervise the counties in the prefecture.
The scope of setting the history of thorns is thirteen states, namely Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jiaozhi, and Shuofang.
Of course, the last state no longer exists because of the invasion of the Southern Xiongnu and other ethnic minority forces.
Jubu is nine years old, and he is a guard. In other words, after serving as the assassin for nine years, you can become the Taishou or the minister of the county.
There is no fixed place of governance for the history of the assassin, and the status is above the county, which is different from the situation where the status of the superintendent is called the same as the county guard and the county captain.
This kind of official is also not subject to the constraints of the prime minister, but is directly subordinate to the central government, and the situation in which the prime minister is subject to the prime minister is different.
And the thorn history is very low, only six hundred stones.
This often prompts them to step up supervision and achieve results in pursuit of higher salaries, which is more effective than using higher officials to supervise local officials.
Qin Shi Huang divided the world into 36 counties, and the governor of each county was called the county guard.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty changed his name to Taishou, who was the highest administrator of a county, and in addition to governing the people, advancing the virtuous, adjudicating lawsuits, and prosecuting adultery, he could also appoint and dismiss his own Peng Shi.
Taishou is a big official in the real sense, and he has 2,000 stones.
After that, you can enter and exit the phase until you rank in the third public.
At the local level, the county lieutenant is appointed by the imperial court, and other adjutants can be appointed by themselves.
Now, the county lieutenant has been killed by Zhao Yun, and Zhao Qian wrote a carefully worded letter and uploaded it to Luoyang.
Even if the county lieutenant came, he was just in charge of the military, and the strange phenomenon of officialdom in Runan in the past happened with Du Chun's secret support from the Yuan family.
The stumbling block is gone, and the time when the family is too high-spirited.
Why is this happening, Zhao Zhen found that the old man laughed several times in a place where no one was.
In a place where there were people, Zhao Qian's face was light and light, and he couldn't see any expression.
"Master, what's going on?" After going in and out a few times, Zhao Zhen still couldn't help but ask.
"The old man has broken through!" Zhao Qian couldn't wait to share it with everyone: "It has been almost six years since I reached the bottleneck, and I thought that this life would be like this." ”
"Grandpa and uncle only reached the realm when they were about sixty years old, they are already old and decrepit, and their spirit is no longer there, otherwise they can live longer, and the old man is ten years ahead of schedule."
"Zilong, this kid is amazing, he recited the Zhao family's heirloom guidance technique to the old man without reservation."
"Under the mutual confirmation, plus everything went well, I broke through unconsciously."
Zhao Taishou couldn't suppress his excitement at first, and he vented it all at this moment.
"I see!" Zhao Zhen was happier than his own affairs.
Of course, in the Zhao family of Shu County, he is a side disciple and has no cultivation qualifications.
In fact, the housekeepers and the like brought by ordinary officials are their own clansmen, and they can be used with peace of mind, and they will never betray the interests of the family.
"I'll let people arrange it at noon to celebrate well!" He rubbed his hands and feet excitedly: "It's inconvenient for the master to go out to eat, Yan Zhao Wei directly sent the best meal." ”
"Or something else," after the excitement, Zhao Qian returned to his former calm: "I'll talk about it when Zilong and them come back." ”
"Speaking of Zilong, sir, there was something I didn't know if I should do just now." Zhao Zhen's face was precious: "The Chen family also went out of the city after the Yuan family." ”
"It's not a big deal," Zhao Qian contemplated for a moment, and then waved his hand: "The Chen family and the Yuan family have been secretly opposed. ”
Looking back, Chen Zhi found that everyone thought that Zhao Yun was the first to look at him, and he was just a little stunned and reacted, and it was reasonable for the world-famous Zhao family Qilin'er and the son of Taishou to surrender.
So, he faced Zilong and told what he knew.
After King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, he named his fifth brother Ji Du to Cai, known as Cai Shudu in history.
Cai sacrifice ancient sound is the same, universal, Uncle Cai sealed Cai in the sacrifice.
After the Zhou people took power, they did not completely eliminate the Yin Shang state, but retained the sacrifices of the Yin people according to the principle of people destroying the country at that time.
King Wu let the son of Wu Geng still inherit the throne of Yin and rule the hometown of Yin Shang.
He also arranged for his elder brother Uncle Guan, younger brother Uncle Cai, and Uncle Huo to be stationed in the three kingdoms of Shao, Hu, and Wei around Yindu to monitor Wu Geng, known as the Three Eunuchs in history.
The Zhou people were not stable in the country, strong enemies looked around, and King Wu was worried about state affairs and often couldn't sleep at night.
In the second year after Keshang, King Wu fell ill and died.
King Cheng ascended the throne, young, and the Duke of Zhou acted as the king.
King Wu's younger brother was the longest, and according to the custom of brother to brother, he was the most qualified regent, so King Wu's last order was believed to have been tampered with by the Duke of Zhou.
In addition, the etiquette system formulated by the Duke of Zhou strictly limited the power of the princes, which caused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the disciples of King Wu.
"Shangshu Golden Silk" contains: "Uncle Guan and his group of brothers are rumored in the country and say: "The general is not conducive to the son." ”
In this case, Guan, Cai and Wu Geng cooperated in chaos.
Wu Geng had long had the ambition of restoring the country, not only united the three eunuchs, but also colluded with Xu, Xian, Bogu and other Fang States in Dongyi, the old land of Yin Shang, to rebel against Zhou, and the situation was very serious.
The rebellion of the three eunuchs and the Wugeng and Dongyi regions seriously threatened the security of the Zhou Dynasty.
Duke Zhou took decisive measures and personally led a large army to the east.
He first suppressed the three eunuchs, stopped the rumors, killed Uncle Guan and exiled Uncle Cai, and then killed Wu Geng.
At the end of the Three Prisons Rebellion, Duke Zhou exiled Cai Shudu, but this man died of grief in the process of exile because of the defeat in the war.
There was no way, Uncle Cai's son Ji Hu changed his career and did the thing of Zhao Yun's ancestor taming beasts.
After all, they are all his own family, and Duke Zhou saw that his nephew was so down, so he suggested that he become the king and reinstate Ji Hu Yu Cai to worship Uncle Cai, known as Cai Zhong in history.
This is the second time that the Cai State has been entitled, and its capital has been moved to the area of Shangcai County in today's Runan County.
In 684 BC, the state of Chu took advantage of the contradiction between the two states of Cai and Xi to send troops to capture the marquis of Cai Ai and bring the state of Cai into the control of the state of Chu.
Mourning died under house arrest, and was succeeded by his son Ji Di, known as Cai Muhou in history.
At the beginning of Ji Di's reign, he found that his Hou State was a very "vegetable" country.
There are dozens of small countries in the Central Plains, such as Guan, Cai, Huo, Lu, Wei, Mao, and so on.
When it was first divided, it was very spirited, and most of them were the children of the Western Zhou royal family who could get such a good place.
But this bit of land, they are becoming more and more unable to hold on.
On the contrary, the countries with different surnames that are far away, such as Qi, Chu, Yue, Qin, etc., are getting bigger and stronger.
The small countries of the Central Plains had to survive in the cracks.
Cai Muhou saw that Qi Huan Gong was strong as one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, so he quickly picked a good-looking sister Cai Ji and sent Qi Huan Gong to be his aunt's wife.
Cai Ji is a young and lively girl, and Qi is an open coastal country, especially developed business.
She came out of the closed and conservative small country in the Central Plains, breathed in the bright air with the smell of the sea, and lived a very bright life.
Qi Huan is a little older, enough to be her father.
The original son Xiaobai was not an old-fashioned king, looking at Cai Ji being naughty, he laughed and admired it, Cai Ji became more and more naughty.
One day, Cai Ji and Qi Huan Gong were boating on the lake, and when Cai Ji saw the water, she got naughty and splashed water on Qi Huan Gong.
Qi Huan Gong also smiled and saluted a few times, like a young man and girl who fell in love for the first time in the lotus pond in the countryside, and he was quite happy.
After a while, the boat shook violently, Qi Huan Gong was scared, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble!" ”
Cai Ji felt that Qi Huangong's scared appearance was quite funny, so she simply deliberately made the boat shake a little more violently.
Qi Huan Gong shouted loudly: "Okay! Don't make a fuss! I can't swim! ”
Cai Ji said: "It's okay, I'll save you if you drown!"
She's familiar with the water, and God knows when she learned to swim.
Qi Huan Gong was a little older, and he was so frightened that he clung to the boat gang, and his face turned pale, like an old man who was riding a roller coaster for the first time.
The more scared he became, the happier Cai Ji became, rocking the boat like a pirate ship in an amusement park.
Qi Huan Gong went ashore with a gloomy face and said to Cai Ji: "I will return you to Cai Guo tomorrow!" ”
He didn't say it was fun, and the next day he sent a carriage to carry Cai Ji back to Cai Guo.
Cai Ji felt that she had not made any big mistakes, but she was returned, and she was very embarrassed, crying all the way, bumping all the way, and returning to Cai Guo in disgrace.
Cai Muhou saw that his sister-in-law married Qi Guo, and he was brought back in such an embarrassment.
He was very annoyed: What's so great about your Qi country? My sister is invincible in her youth, and it's not that she can't get married.
changed hands and married Cai Ji to someone else.
Qi Huangong originally just asked Cai Ji to go home for introspection, for fear of fueling her squeamishness, so he did not break off the relationship with Cai Ji.
Unexpectedly, Cai Muhou asked Cai Ji to remarry, Nima, is it okay for my brother to be the overlord? He was so angry this time.
Duke Huan of Qi led a coalition of princes to attack Cai, and the coalition army defeated Cai's army and captured Cai Muhou.
Later, at the request of the princes of various countries, Cai Muhou was able to return to China.
In the summer of the twenty-first year of Cai Muhou, the allied forces of the princes attacked Zheng State.
In the autumn of the same year, King Chu Cheng, the king of Chu, sent troops to surround the state of Xu in the coalition army to come to the rescue.
The princes sent troops to aid Xu, and King Chu Cheng withdrew his troops.
However, instead of returning to China, he garrisoned Wucheng and observed the movements.
In the winter of the same year, Cai Muhou led Xu Xu, the monarch of Xu State, to Wucheng to apologize to King Chu Cheng.
King Chu Cheng adopted the advice of the minister Feng Bo and forgave Duke Xu.
This is the same person who detained his father at the beginning, but today he has to grovel in front of him.
Of course, if Cai Aihou does not die, there will be no succession of Cai Muhou.
The hatred of killing his father is not shared, and he can't do anything when he sees Miyue's mother's family, Chu Cheng, Wang Yaowu's might.
In the days that followed, Cai Muhou remained depressed and died of depression seven years later.
Perhaps because people were very sober before he died, he carefully sorted out the utensils around him, and finally personally selected a batch as burial goods, including channeling.
It's a really good thing, it strengthens the body.
But how many people in power can calm down and cultivate?
What's more, Cai Guoguo is weak and weak, struggling to survive every day, and the monarch naturally has no time to think about physical problems.
Seeing that the country will not be a country, it is useless to live longer.
Cai Muhou is a person who understands, and he doesn't want future generations to have people who inflate themselves after cultivation, and if they want to attack the surrounding countries, they simply bury themselves in the ground.
Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, but Cai Guo has long been annihilated in the long river of history, and some classics have been preserved intact.
According to the inference, the Yuan family has found the exact location, and the people who just went in have died, so there is no way to go around looking for a replacement ghost in the name of recruiting family members.
From this point of view, as the old enemy of the Yuan family, the Chen family must have their own eyeliner on the other side, and their identity is not low, otherwise they would not know such a secret.
Chen Zhi said about the work of two pillars of incense before he explained the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun himself was born in history in his previous life, and some historical facts can be known as soon as he mentions them.
"How do you know the burial goods in Cai Muhou's tomb?" Zilong was still a little curious.
"His wife back then was my princess Chen Guo." Chen Zhi smiled slightly: "Even if she gets married, she will still have correspondence with her mother's family." ”
"The Yuan family and we are both descendants of the Chen Kingdom, and basically we know a little bit about the history."
However, Zhao Yun still had questions: "You know the actions of the Yuan family clearly, I am a foreigner, how could you find me?" ”
The current Zhao family is still a little too weak compared to the Yuan family, and they can't become other people's guns.
After speaking, he stared at Chen Zhi tightly, as long as the other party had bad thoughts, no matter how powerful this person was, he would immediately turn his head and leave, and never pay attention to it again.
