Chapter 132 The Great Liang Wangcheng gets an artifact

Zhao Ming felt that the rope was slowly extending, he knew that he was gradually getting farther and farther away from Yan Qing and the others, Zhao Ming didn't know what was waiting for him, but no matter what it was, Zhao Ming felt that he would not be surprised, because even the matter of his soul crossing could appear, not to mention what could make his soul crossing more terrifying happen?

Zhao Ming suddenly felt that the hole seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and his breathing seemed to be a little depressed, Zhao Ming took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, under the reflection of the torch, Zhao Ming saw that he was in the hole in the barrel, Zhao Ming held the rope of the basket tightly with one hand, and raised his eyes to see that the basket was pitch black under the torch, and his eyes couldn't see anything!

Zhao Ming suddenly regretted a little at this time, his dignified monarch of a country came down so abruptly, if he really had an accident, he was really sorry for Zhao Huan, after all, Zhao Huan finally willingly chose to let Zhao Huan's soul completely integrate into his soul, what does it mean here, this means that Zhao Huan has entrusted all the hopes and responsibilities he can to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Zhao Huan, don't worry, no matter how difficult and dangerous this time is, I will definitely work hard to get through, I will definitely see the light of day again, and I will definitely lead the Song people to completely expel the Jurchens!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel arrogant, he simply squatted in the basket, leaned on the edge of the basket and pretended to sleep alone, because Zhao Ming knew that his trip was unpredictable after all. So I really have to keep my body in good shape. Waiting for the moment when you reach the bottom of the cave.

on the roof of the cave. Yan Qing's eyes didn't dare to blink, he calmly commanded a few Cong Long Wei to slowly put down the rope, and he not only stared at the rope but also erected his ears and listened carefully, because Yan Qing understood that Zhao Ming was gambling heavily, as long as Zhao Ming could come back this time, then all the rumors and things that were not conducive to the ancestor worship ceremony, including welcoming back the Taizu spiritual position as the ancestor, would completely disappear, but once Zhao Ming had an accident. Anything can turn around.

This is a fact, a cruel rule of human nature!

Yan Qing is like this, in fact, Li Gang and Cao Xi on the top of the big cave are not in a hurry, Li Gang whispered to Cao Yu to order the Praetorian Guard sergeants to surround the Taimiao and not allow anyone to enter or leave until the emperor returns.

Cao Xi had an extra heart, he took a small team of soldiers to stay behind the ministers, because Cao Xi knew that Zhao Ming's whip just now had made some ministers resentful of Zhao Ming, the emperor, and now although the emperor is not there, Zhao Huan's three most favorite younger brothers are here, if Zhao Ming suddenly made a mistake in the cave. It really doesn't rule out that someone will take advantage of the mess to make some mess, Cao Yao has already had a plan in his heart. He was already firmly tied to the emperor's chariot, and he could only spare no effort to help the emperor clear all the hidden powers.

Zhao Gou and the others were also quietly looking at the big hole at this time, although the three of them didn't know why Zhao Ming went down in person, but the three princes were really worried about their imperial brothers at this time, they really didn't understand why things had happened to this point. Zhao Gou intentionally or unintentionally glanced back at the Taizu Spirit Seat in the main hall, and said in his heart: "If it were him, would he do this?" Do you dare to do this? Taizu is brave, this is an indisputable fact, but that day, Wang Anshi changed the position of the ancestor of Taizu to the spiritual position of the ancestor, which is obviously also well thought out, because if the ancestor is the ancestor, the hereditary throne of the Taizong line will be justified, what is the alliance of Jinkui, what candlelight axe shadow is, but if Taizu is the ancestor, it seems that the spiritual position of the emperors placed in this temple in addition to Taizu is a little incorrect!

But today, my brother did it, and he did it in a bright and majestic manner! The position of the Founding Emperor is impossible for anyone to encroach upon, and unless this dynasty collapses, it is impossible for any successor to surpass the Founding Emperor! The emperors of the Great Song Dynasty did not understand this, but the so-called orthodoxy of imperial power really made the emperors of Taizong's line feel a thorn in their backs!

Thinking of this, Zhao glanced at his two brothers with the afterglow of his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, "The Emperor Taishang likes the third emperor brother Zhao Kai, but when the strong enemy comes, he still chooses the eldest emperor, and now it is correct to see this move of the emperor!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou suddenly had a complicated feeling, he knew that the more wise Zhao Huan was, the more slim he would be from the throne, this regret made Zhao Gou's mind more and more clear, unless the emperor really had any accident now, and today's accident was really given by God?

Hundreds of people in the temple are scattered in the courtyard, but there is no sound at all, every minister present understands in their hearts that this incident today can be big or small, but it is definitely an important chapter of great significance in the future history books, the battle of the ancestors was overturned by the new emperor with such a means of dividing five by two, and now as the emperor of the ninety-five, he is personally involved in danger, what does this mean? This shows that the determination and courage of the new emperor are incomparable to ordinary mortals!

Just when everyone in the temple was quietly waiting for Zhao Ming, Yan Qing's eyes blinked involuntarily, because Yan Qing saw that the rope began to loosen, which showed that the basket where the emperor was sitting had bottomed out!

It was indeed the bottom, and when Zhao Ming came out of the basket with a torch, he was stunned! He did come down from a hole, but when Zhao Ming stood firm and raised his eyes, he really didn't know if he was in a dream or in reality, he was actually beside a crystal clear river, and with the flow of the river, there was a stone bridge not far away?

"Where is this?" Zhao Ming was suddenly surprised, he just wanted to stroll along the flow of the river and continue to move forward, suddenly the cry of the pigeon in the basket made Zhao Ming remember his agreement with Yan Qing, Zhao Ming took out a pigeon from the basket in a hurry, untied the rope tied to the pigeon's legs, and released the pigeon. Watch the pigeon struggle to fly in the direction of the light. Zhao Ming said secretly: "Yan Qing." Li Gang, don't worry, I'm fine! “

Zhao Ming said, he actually walked along the water with a torch and ran towards the small bridge, while walking Zhao Ming was secretly frightened, the scene under the ground is really big, I really don't know where this is, but one thing can be proved that this is definitely not a group of tombs. It's too big, and the big one makes Zhao Ming feel a little unbelievable!

When Zhao Ming boarded the small bridge, he looked up carefully under the reflection of the torches, and found that he seemed to be in an underground royal city, and not far from the small bridge was a huge palace. And the palace is surrounded by some houses!

Zhao Ming secretly said in his heart: "Is there really any ghost or god?" Could it be that he is really standing on the bridge and looking at the Hades Hall of Grandpa Hades? “

But then Zhao Ming denied his judgment, because he saw that the bridge was engraved with words, although it was three words, but it was a seal word, according to Zhao Huan's writing skills, Zhao Ming vaguely judged that "Girder Bridge!" “

"Girder Bridge?" When Zhao Ming chanted these three words, he suddenly opened his mouth, and he understood the reason for the formation of this Yama Palace-like underground royal city. This is obviously Daliang City, the capital of Wei during the Warring States Period!

In 370 BC, with the death of Marquis Wu of Wei. The once-powerful state of Wei fell into chaos.

In 369 BC, Marquis Cheng of Zhao and Marquis Yi of Han personally led the armies of the two countries to attack Wei. After the coalition forces assembled north of the Yellow River, they conquered the Wei city of Yikui in one fell swoop. Then, the allied forces attacked west to attack Anyi, the capital of Wei. Gongziying sat in the capital and hurriedly sent the Wei army to meet the battle in Xunze. The two armies set up a big battle. The coalition forces were strong, defeated the Wei army, and then surrounded Anyi. Gongziying was helpless in Anyi City, so she had to wait and see what happened.

At this moment, Zhao Chenghou and Han Yihou had a disagreement. Zhao Chenghou and Han Yihou said: "Get rid of Gongzi Ying, let Gongzhong take the throne slowly, and we will withdraw after cutting the land, which is beneficial to us." Han Yihou said: "You can't do this. Killing Gongziying, people will definitely accuse us of being cruel, let him cut the land and retreat from the army, and people will accuse us of greed. We might as well divide Wei into two countries, so that Wei will not be stronger than Song and Wei, what are we afraid of? Zhao Chenghou was very angry: "Your attention at this time is still focused on the digestion of Zheng Di, you don't have too much energy to spend on attacking Wei, we will do it ourselves." Han Yihou was also very angry, so he borrowed the donkey to withdraw the army back to Zheng. After Zhao Chenghou withdrew his troops in Korea, he united with Gongzhong Slow, preparing to annihilate Gongzi Ying first, and then eliminate Gongzhong Slow, and monopolize the Wei State. As a result, Gongzi Ying and Gongshu defeated the allied forces of Zhao and Gong Zhong.

Gongzi Ying ascended the throne in this year, and he is the familiar King Wei Hui. Judging from the records of the "Historical Records", King Wei Hui was born in 421 BC and died in 319 BC, with a life span of 102 years, which is probably the longest-lived person among Chinese emperors.

After King Wei Hui ascended the throne, he did not exterminate all the commoner ministers, but only dealt with a few stubborn leaders who followed Gong Zhongxuan, and the rest of the ministers used them as usual, and the political situation of Wei was quickly stabilized.

In 368 B.C., Wang Cuo fled to Korea for unknown reasons, and King Wei Hui appointed Gongsun Acne as the prime minister.

In 362 BC, Wei Xiangshu fought with the armies of Han and Zhao in northern Hubei and captured the Zhao general Le Zuo. King Wei Hui was very happy, especially went to the outside of the city to greet him, and rewarded millions of acres of fertile land for Yulu

Gongsun said after thanking him: "Taking advantage of the enemy's negligence to beat the drums of war, I dare not slack off in the slightest, and this is the only thing that the minister can do." What is the reason why the king only thinks that the right hand of the minister is not tired, and rewards the minister? If it is believed that the minister has merit, then where is the merit of the minister? ”

King Wei Hui said: "Xianqing's words are reasonable, we should visit Xianneng all over the world." So, he ordered people to search for Wu Qi's descendants and reward them with 200,000 acres of fertile land.

In fact, since his accession to the throne, King Wei Hui paid special attention to the selection of military commanders, and personally selected a group of young generals such as Pang Juan, Gongzi Ang, and Long Jia. Pang Juan was the most admired general of King Wei Hui, and the soldiers that Pang Juan was responsible for training were the most elite troops of Wei. More importantly, Pang Juan was a native of Hexi in the Wei State.

After defeating the allied forces of Zhao and Han, Uncle Gong told King Wei Hui: "King, now Han Zhao's arrogance has been suppressed by us. Only the Qin State in the west is a piece of our heart. After Li Kui changed the law, China's national strength increased greatly, and Wu Qi was used as a general to fight against the princes. In the past 30 years, Wu Qi led the Wei Iron Cavalry to capture Hangu Pass, and fought 64 battles. Seized more than 500 miles of land from the Qin State. Compressed the Qin state to a narrow strip west of Huashan. After Qin Xiangong ascended the throne, he always wanted to recover Hexi. As a preparation for the eastward march into the Central Plains. In order to facilitate the war against Wei, he also moved the capital from Yongdong, which was far away in the western part of Guanzhong, to Liyang. After Wu Qi fled to the state of Chu, in the Hexi battlefield, Qin Xiangong repeatedly defeated our Wei army. In 364 BC, in the Battle of Shimen, our Wei army was beheaded by 60,000 people, and suffered a crushing defeat that had never been seen before. This battle shook the princes of various countries. The state of Qin entered the ranks of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. King, we must snow the shame of Shimen three years ago. Uncle Acne is willing to take advantage of the power of victory to march west to defeat the Qin army, I don't know what the king wants? ”

King Wei Hui was of course very happy to hear this: "It's rare for Aiqing to be so brave and loyal. The shame of Shimen, we must snow, so we will work hard to love Qing. ”

As a result, Gongshu was defeated by the Qin State in Shaoliang and became a prisoner of the Qin army. In this battle, the Qin state also paid a great price, and Qin Xiangong was seriously wounded and died in 362 BC. Then. The Wei capital of Anyi was most threatened by Qin.

Qin Xiangong was taken care of by his uncle acne a lot in Wei in his early years, and after entertaining his uncle acne, he put his uncle acne back.

After Uncle Acne returned to China. King Wei Hui personally came to visit his uncle acne and advised him to recuperate well, but did not mention the defeat. Uncle Acne knew that King Wei Hui was open to himself, and although King Wei Hui could avoid his death, his political future would end here. For this reason, Uncle Acne has always been very painful, and the shame of defeat and the shame of avoiding death are like a snake in a shadow, always devouring Uncle Acne's heart. He hid in his home all day and died depressed not long after.

Once, when King Wei Hui visited, he said: "After a hundred years of Xiangguo, who can succeed him?" ”

Gongsun acne said: "My subordinate Gongsun martingale." ”

After hearing this, King Wei Hui said: "Gongsun Ying is so young, how can he be the minister of state? ”

Gongsun Yan said: "If Your Majesty does not use this person, kill him, lest he go to other countries and be unfavorable to the Wei State." ”

King Wei Hui ignored it.

After King Wei Hui left, Gongsun Ying came to see Uncle Acne. Uncle Gong felt sorry for Gongsun Ying, and said to him: "I want King Hui to let you succeed me as my phase, but he doesn't listen, and he doesn't nod when he wants him to kill you, you might as well hurry up and go to other countries to display your talents." ”

Gongsun Ying heard this and said, "Since King Hui does not listen to you and reuses me, he will not listen to you and kill me." ”

After Gongsun Acne died, the eldest doctor Gongzi Ang once again recommended Gongsun Ying to King Wei Hui as prime minister, but King Wei Hui still didn't use him.

Gongsun Martingale was later Shang Martingale. This time King Wei Hui's refusal also laid a hidden danger for the decline of Wei in the future.

At the same time as Uncle Gong's defeat, Pang Juan won a great victory in the war against Zhao. Pang Juan captured Zhao's Lieren and Fei, posing a huge threat to Handan. Due to the defeat of Gongsun Acne and the danger of Hexi County of Wei, King Hui of Wei urgently dispatched Pang Juan to lead the most elite army of Wei to fight against the Qin army.

Pang Juan is very familiar with the terrain of Hexi. To fight the Qin army, it was necessary to cross the Yellow River. He asked the Wei army to build a pontoon bridge and pose for crossing the river from Linjin. Yin Jin was close to Liyang, the capital of the Qin State at that time. The Qin army was very nervous about Pang Juan's attack on Qin. After seeing more and more Qin troops transferred to Linjin, Pang Juan ordered a Wei army to feint across the pontoon bridge and fight fiercely with the Wei army in Linjin. Pang Juan personally led the elite Wei army to the north, crossed the river from Heyang, where the Qin army was weakly defended, and marched to Liyang, the capital of Qin. Although the Qin army fought hard against the Wei army, it was still broken through Liyang by Pang Juan, and Hexi was recaptured by the Wei state. Qin Xiaogong was forced to move back to the old capital of Qin.

After inflicting a heavy blow on the Qin state, King Wei Hui decided to convene his ministers to discuss the relocation of the capital.

King Wei Hui said: "Ministers, generals, this king has been thinking about a problem. In the midst of many wars, our national capital, Anyi, has been in danger many times, how can we avoid these dangers? Only the capital has been moved. ”

Pang Juan said: "King, it is true. Anyi is located in the east of the river, surrounded by Qin, Zhao, and Han, and only the Shangdang Mountains have a line of communication with Hanoi. ”

Gongzi Ang said, "Where does the king think it is appropriate? ”

King Wei Hui said: "I thought of a place, which is the largest city in our Wei country, Daliang. When the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided, our southern plain was still a barren and barren wilderness, and Daliang City was only a small city. Anyi is the center of our power, located at the confluence of the Yellow River and Fenshui, with developed agriculture and a strong city, so it is naturally the capital. Since Wenhou began to use Li Kui's reform, he has made every effort to develop agriculture on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Daliang is located in a rich plain. Get the right time, place and people. It grew up quickly. Now. Daliang is not the capital, but the scale of the city and the momentum of the market are much larger than that of Anyi. What do you think?

Long Jia said: "King Shengming. Daliang has the convenience of geographical advantages, the Yellow River in the north, the Fengze Lake in the south, the waterway and land are all extending in all directions, it is indeed a good place to build the capital. But ......"

King Wei Hui asked, "But what?" ”

Long Jia said: "Has the king thought about it? China's land is relatively scattered, and the land connection between Anyi and Daliang is very weak, so it can only detour north to Yuci and Yangyi to the south to enter Hanoi and Daliang. This line of traffic is not only detouring and troublesome. And it's very easy to cut off. To the west of the beam is the territory of Korea, and to the north is the three places of Pingqiu, Humu and Shouyuan of Korea, which are connected to form a line and are surrounded by the Liang area of Wei in a crescent shape. Therefore, if the king wants to move the capital to Daliang, the first thing is to hold the three places of Pingqiu, Humu and Shouyuan in his hands. Does this South Korea agree? ”

Before King Wei Hui could answer, Gongzi Ang spoke: "What's so difficult about this? Let's just trade land for land. Deal. We'll just send troops to take it. ”

King Wei Hui's face was happy: "I think what Gongzi Ang said is reasonable, so I sent Gongzi Ang to South Korea to discuss with South Korea." We salute before we fight. ”

Gongzi Ang sent an envoy to Korea, and Han was forced by the pressure of Wei. Agreed to King Wei Hui's request for land exchange.

After that, King Wei Hui exchanged Lieren, Fei, Yuci, and Yangyi for the Hyun clan of Zhao State. Hyun Clan is the main transportation route between Ha Dong and Hanoi. From Anyi to the east. Through the Guò Hyun clan, it is possible to reach the Hanoi region of the Wei State by crossing the Kongdao of the Taihang Mountains. After Wei obtained the Hyun clan, the connection between Hexi and Hedong, which had weak ties, and Hanoi and Daliang was strengthened. After King Wei Hui obtained the Hyun clan, he exchanged the deer from Korea for the important traffic channel of the Taihang Mountain. Through the Guò Road, you can directly enter the Hanoi area of the Wei State from Anyi, which is more convenient than the Hyun clan. When Wei obtained these two transportation arteries, the two major sections of Hexi, Hedong and Hanoi and Daliang became a whole.

Wei Hui Wang Tong Guò This series of land exchanges gave Zhao and Han some areas that were not very important and difficult to control for the Wei State, but obtained very important transportation arteries and military strongholds inserted by Zhao and Han in the territory of the Wei State, and the shape of the Wei State was more advantageous

In 361 BC, the Wei state moved its capital to Daliang. This is the first time in the history of Kaifeng to build the capital.

After moving the capital, King Wei Hui worked hard to build Daliang City on a grand scale and strong. The perimeter of the Daliang city he built is more than 30 miles long, there are 12 city gates, the city wall is about 5 zhang high, and the moat communicates on all sides, which is wide and deep. The main street in the city is about 10 miles long, and there are about 300,000 or 400,000 residents. Daliang was the strongest capital city during the Warring States period and one of the largest cities in China at that time. At that time, among the princes, the only city that could be compared with it was Linzi, the capital of Qi.

The girder not only extends in all directions by land, but also has many water systems around. In 360 B.C., King Hui of Wei renovated the Putianze on the west side of the Great Liang, diverted the water of the Yellow River to the south into the Putianze, transformed the Putianze into a huge lake with a radius of 300 miles, and then dug ditches and repaired canals to divert water from the Putianze to the Daliang. In the following more than 20 years, King Wei Hui ordered people to continue to dig to the southeast, so that the water system project continued to expand, through the current Tongxu, Taikang, until the southeast of Huaiyang into Yingshui, and finally into the Huai River. These water system projects are connected to each other and intertwined into a network, forming the first artificial canal to connect the two major river basins of the Yellow River and the Huai River. The chasm is like a water corridor extending in all directions, extending from the girder to the surrounding areas, connecting many major rivers on the eastern Henan Plain, forming a water transportation network between the Yellow River and the Huai. Wei ships could sail directly from Liang into Han, Chu, Wei, Qi, Lu, Song and other countries, promoting trade and cultural exchanges between Wei and other countries. With huge transportation advantages, Daliang City has become a commercial metropolis with developed economy, large population and rich Central Plains in just over ten years.

King Wei Hui moved the capital to Liang, which suddenly intensified the competition among the countries in the Central Plains. King Hui is the first monarch to set the capital in Kaifeng as clearly recorded in history, and has made great historical contributions to the development of Kaifeng. The Liang Jiancheng he built laid the foundation of today's Kaifeng City; He dug the artificial canal chasm, so that the waterways around Kaifeng City are smooth, the scene is thousands, quite famous and meteorological. To this day, Kaifeng is still famous for its abundant water and enjoys the reputation of "Northern Water City".

Water! Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, he looked at the gurgling river flowing eastward, and suddenly had a plan, the Jin soldiers were good at horse warfare, but Bianliang City was surrounded by water, if he could find a way to defeat the strong enemy by water when the Jin soldiers besieged Bianjing in the future, it would not lose a clever plan!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but speed up his pace and strode towards the palace, along the way, out of the stone walled house, the others were lying quietly with a terrifying white bones, and some pieces of iron scattered on the ground with green embroidery, maybe distant blades. It's just that because of time, it has become scrap metal. These things sometimes glow green in the dark, but they also make people look extraordinarily permeable! That is, Zhao Ming was bold, he strode past a gloomy skeleton and walked straight into the huge palace!

It is said that it is a palace, because the buildings of those palaces are still there. But the rest of the time is gone, and occasionally you can see a white skeleton, Zhao Ming said secretly: "It seems that I really don't know when this is, the Yellow River burst the embankment and flooded the dignified Daliang City all at once, the so-called Kaifeng City, the city stack city is probably the origin of this!" “

Zhao Ming thought and walked towards the palace inside, just when Zhao Ming wanted to continue walking, suddenly a color that Zhao Ming was very surprised attracted Zhao Ming to look at, and the result was that something that made Zhao Ming excited happened!

Not far from the main hall, a general in golden armor was standing there majestically, Zhao Ming was very surprised, he slowly walked in with a torch to watch, but saw that the person was dead, but unlike those white bones, this person was still in the flesh, but seeing this person's eyes and ears, the majesty between the two eyes seemed to be quite aura after a thousand years, Zhao Ming looked forward carefully, and couldn't help but scream secretly, it turned out that the armor this person was wearing was actually bright and translucent, and it was pure yellow under the reflection of the firelight, Look at the man holding an orange-yellow gold rod in his right hand. The more Zhao Ming looked at this weapon similar to a long giant axe, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but reach out to take it, but the result was that he didn't move at all!

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the strength of his hand was not small, but he couldn't even hold this golden Yue. Zhao Minggang wanted to take it by force. Suddenly he realized something, he looked at the dignified person and said respectfully: "I don't know who my predecessor is, but seeing my predecessor dressed like this, I don't think I am a mortal, I am here to thank my predecessor for taking care of these artifacts on your body for me!" “

After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed three times to this general!

Zhao Ming didn't kowtow, as soon as he kowtowed, Zhao Ming unexpectedly found that this person was also holding a sword with other shapes in his left hand, and the body of this sword was extremely heavy. The first thing Zhao Ming felt was incredible.

What kind of person has such divine power, the golden Yue in his right hand is one hundred and twenty catties, and the sword in his left hand must look like forty or fifty catties!

Zhao Mingxin said: "I came down in person today to make money, these two weapons are definitely pre-Qin gods!" (To be continued......)
