Fengze, this is a small town of Wei that does not even have a city, less than twenty miles away from the Great Liang City of Wei. Just because it was located in the center of the Warring States period, it was improvised by Zhou Tianzi as a place for international conferences. It may also be that on the day of the spring equinox in the twentieth year of the Duke of Qin, he inherited the spirit of all the princes, and more than a thousand years later, this place became the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a later story, not to mention. Now only mention the twenty-seventh year of King Zhou Xian, that is, the spring equinox in 342 BC, on the last day of mid-spring, the Fengze Conference in Gengchen Day.

King Zhou Xian's Bu Zhu Bu De was three o'clock on this day, galloping into the most auspicious from the east. Therefore, Zhou Tianzi's convoy deliberately rubbed in the back, and it was not until the day of the spring equinox that the convoy was urgently ordered to move quickly! The east side was sealed at a moment's notice. One car and one person are not allowed to enter the Fengze venue. As a result, some small feudal countries have taken a detour and entered the venue from the south and from the north. Zhao Hou was about to enter through the east gate, but was stopped by the king of Qi. King Qi knew that this was a little trick of the Son of Heaven, so he didn't want to make it too difficult for the Son of Heaven, and wanted him to balance and balance the Son of Heaven's heart after satisfying this little bit of careful thinking. So, King Qi pulled Zhao Hou, talked and laughed together, let the convoy take a detour, and entered the venue from the north gate.

Major Officer Gongzi is the deacon of the conference this time, which is equivalent to the executive chairman of the conference today. When each prince arrives at the meeting place, he will have the servants come to greet him and bring him to the appointed table. If it is the prince of the six kingdoms, he will go to greet and lead him to the special table.

The day of the vernal equinox. In Fengze, on the south bank of the Yellow River, it is still relatively cold. On the stage of the conference venue, all tents were set up to avoid the cold. At the south end of the venue, a nine-foot high platform was built as the chairman of the Son of Heaven and the deputy seat of the Duke of Qin, that is, the rostrum. Along the east and west sides of the rostrum, at an equal distance of 20 zhang, on each of them on a six-foot-high earthen platform, ten tents were erected, that is, the meeting seats of the princes. Behind the two tents is a busy kitchen. Behind it is the military tent of the Qin army.

The big tent on the high platform in the east, from south to north, is: Qi, Chu, Song, and Lu are one country and one account, and the other six accounts are two countries and one account of the small feudal country; 12 countries; There are a total of 16 countries in the east. The west from south to north is: Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan one country and one account, and the other six accounts are the three countries and one account of the small feudal state; There are a total of 22 countries in the west. On the earthen platform in front of each big tent, there are bamboo plaques engraved with the fiefdom names of various princes.

At that time, there were no amplification devices such as microphones. Similar meetings were held under the rostrum, with twenty trained attendees. Every time the guests heard a word from the rostrum, they came out in unison. Of course, they have long memorized the words that need to be passed on the rostrum. Even if the people on the rostrum don't say anything, they just make a show, and they can accurately pass on their speeches. Besides, this kind of meeting is a human-to-human meeting. I didn't come here to talk about anything, but to do a lot of etiquette, two pictures of liveliness, and three to meet friends. The real venue is under the meeting, and the third content above has basically been completed before the meeting starts.

All the big tents of three people, two people and one tent, the princes of those small feudal kingdoms have long been waiting there. And the special accounts of the great princes who have one person and one account are still empty. The young officer saw that the auspicious time was approaching, why didn't these people enter yet? I was in a hurry, so I ordered the people to go and inquire! Before the Sheren left, the messenger of the Son of Heaven ran panting and shouted, "Go to the auspicious gate!" All the countries in front of the door are arguing about entering the venue from the auspicious gate at three o'clock. The envoys of various countries did not give in to each other. I've tried everything, but it didn't work. Go and persuade! You must let the Son of Heaven enter at the right time at three o'clock. ”

When the young official heard this, he was more anxious than the messenger of the Son of Heaven, and ran to the auspicious gate with a few people.

Outside the auspicious gate, half a mile. Convoys of various countries were parked. At the auspicious gate, the envoys of various countries are entering the arena for the dignity of the princes of various countries and grabbing a good moment, and they have reached the point of sabre-rattling. As soon as the young officer arrived, he stepped forward and separated the envoys with a smile on his face. When they were separated, he bowed to the messengers. As soon as the envoys of various countries saw that the master had arrived, they surrounded the young officials of Gongzi and talked about their own affairs, and the scene suddenly became chaotic again.

When the young officer saw that it was not a problem, he made a plan, suppressed the envoys, and shouted: "Please don't make noise!" Don't be noisy. You have fought like this, and after the hours have passed, no one can enter the field. Listen to me, it's better to draw lots. It's all by luck, whoever has luck enters the market at an auspicious time. The others are lined up in order according to auspiciousness, and the worst ones are the last, okay? ”

When the envoys heard this, this was the only way to do it, so they all agreed.

The young officer of the son ordered the housekeeper to shout for blessings and take out the yarrow. When the envoys of the nine countries heard this, they did not do anything, and they had to ask each country to do its own thing. As soon as the young officer of the son thought it was more appropriate, he agreed. And the envoys of the nations called for blessings from all the nations. Changed the lottery to yarrow throwing. After a period of hecticism, in the end, it was Zhou Tianzi's Bu Zhu who was strong and powerful, and the yarrow pattern he threw was the most auspicious. It was followed by Qi, Chu, Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, Lu, and Song. Providence is like this, and the envoys of various countries have no choice but to accept their fate.

Zhou Tianzi proudly sat on his six-horse canopy car, wearing a full set of twenty-four red crowns, proudly driving through the road of the princes of the Nine Kingdoms, waving his hand. Zhou Tianzi, who has been a son for twenty-seven years, is the first time to enjoy this kind of courtesy, and this courtesy of the son of heaven is really comfortable and enjoyable! If you come here once a year, it will be in vain. Alas, it's a pity, flipping through the classics, this kind of courtesy is still a matter of five hundred years. The widow can meet, it is really blessed by the ancestors, and thanks to the Qin Gongqu Liang!

The young officer saw Zhou Tianzi's car drive to the auspicious gate, and the other princes lined up in order according to their luck and waited to enter the venue. After wiping his sweat, he saluted the envoys of the princes again, and hurried to the rostrum. As soon as he took the stage, he nodded to the twenty pawns and a hundred drummers and told them to prepare. After resting for a while, when he heard that the hour had come, he hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived!" Respectfully invite the Son of Heaven to enter the auspicious gate! ”

Twenty voices sang in unison: "The auspicious time has come, please invite the Son of Heaven to enter!" "Zhou Tianzi has the financial support of the Qin State. Riding six horse canopies, golden roofs, and twenty-four cars. Under the guidance of the first ten cars in a row and a total of five rows of leather cars, and under the escort of a row of five light cars in the back ten cars, they slowly galloped in with the drum beat of three quarters of a year. The car was in front of the main stage, and under the guidance of the welcoming people, the Son of Heaven was accompanied by nine retinues, and in the drumbeat of the hundred-faced battle, he slowly stepped onto the stage and became the chairman of the Central Committee! The car that was brought was parked behind the venue and waited.

Zhou Tianzi's magnificent convoy was expected by the princes. Only then did the princes understand that the reason for the rapid rise of Qin Quliang and Zhibo couldn't help but be jealous of the Qin State.
