Chapter 41: Cancer
Zhou Tianle closed his eyes and recalled the history he saw today: the Shang tribe was the strongest branch of the Xia Dynasty at that time, and the totem was the swallow. The first leader of Shang was called Qi, and because of his meritorious work in helping Yu control the water, he was given the surname of Shangdi and his son. The Shang tribe was the first tribe to use cattle and horses, and belonged to the "water and grass dwelling", which was destined to be a nomadic tribe to migrate everywhere. From the first chieftain deed to Yu's father, Lord Aoi, a total of 15 generations, relocated eight times.
Cheng Tang was surnamed Zi Mingshou, defeated the Xia Dynasty in the Battle of Naruto, exiled Ji to Nanchao, and died in captivity soon after. Chengtang took Yi Yin as the phase, built a city in Bo, and moved the Jiuding, which symbolizes the world, to his palace. Since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the national capital has been repeatedly moved, from Henan to Shandong, and from Shandong back, from Henan to Hebei, and from Hebei to Shandong, resulting in labor and money, complaints, and princes not court.
After the "Rebellion of the Ninth Dynasty", the position was passed to Pangeng, and this generation changed the situation of moving the national capital. Pangeng moved the capital to Yin, and took root until the fall of the Shang Dynasty, and did not move the capital again for about 270 years. Passed into the hands of the Shang king, the Shang Dynasty has a history of more than 600 years.
When he took over the throne, the Shang Dynasty was already in tatters, there were ghosts outside, Xiqiang, Jiumiao, Dongyi crossed the border to grab territory, and there were subordinate countries to form gangs and factions, and the Shang Dynasty was sitting on empty mountains. In order to consolidate his dynasty, the king could only bring people to their knees through armed warfare, so he personally led a large army to fight the ghost side in the north, and defeated the ghost side to raise the military prestige of the Shang Dynasty, which also played a deterrent role in other princes.
The king of Shang beat the ghost people and fled in all directions, and the name of the ghost side changed in the later migration, Rong Di, Lin Hu, Donghu, Xiongnu, etc. all evolved from the ghost side.
King Zhou's grandfather Wen Ding killed Ji Fa's grandfather Ji Li, and Ji Chang rebelled against King Zhou in order to avenge his father. In Licheng, Shanxi, Ji Chang fought a great battle with the king of Zhou, and Ji Chang was defeated and imprisoned to death by the king of Zhou, and killed his eldest son heir, Ji Kao. Ji Chang's second son, Ji Fa, resolutely married Jiang Ziya's daughter Yi Jiang in order to ascend to the position of the lord of Zhou Fangguo, and got the support of the Jiang tribe and ascended to the throne.
After learning the news, the king wanted to destroy the Zhou Fangguo in one go, but at this time, Dongyi was in turmoil, and the king could only transfer the main force to the east to conquer Dongyi, giving Zhou Fangguo a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Ji Fa subdued the territory of the neighboring countries, gathered strong troops, and strengthened his momentum. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Shang Dynasty was in Dongyi and the interior was empty, Ji Fa suddenly launched a fierce attack from Xiqi and only forced Chaoge.
The king could only temporarily use Dongyi's prisoners of war to organize troops and fight Ji Fa in Makino, and the king of Zhou retreated and died in Lutai**.
Around 1046 BC, the Shang Dynasty fell and the Zhou Dynasty was established.
The Zhou people originally belonged to the Weishui area of today's Shaanxi, and they were the ancestors of the Zhou people, with the bear as the totem. He was good at agriculture and helped Yao to manage farmland and was sealed in Taidi and given the surname Ji.
After King Ji of Zhou Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, in order to appease the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, he named Wu Geng, the son of the king of Zhou, as a prince and led the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, but Wu Geng was obedient to Zhou on the surface, but secretly planned some restoration. Two years after King Ji of Zhou Wu destroyed Shang, he died of illness and was succeeded by King Cheng, who was assisted by King Zhou's younger brother Zhou Gongdan because of his young age. Wu Geng took advantage of the death of King Wu of Zhou and the instability of the regime to disturb the situation, and Zhou Gongdan led his troops out to destroy Wu Geng.
In 858 B.C., when the Zhou dynasty reached the king of Zhou Li, a situation of instability began to arise, during his reign, he expropriated and extorted expropriations, intensified the exploitation of the working people, and also deprived some nobles of their powers, stipulating that all mountains and rivers belonged to the royal family and no one else was allowed to exploit them, which provoked public anger. He also continued to fight and had many conflicts with the surrounding ethnic minorities. The southeastern Huaiyi, who had surrendered to Zhou, could not bear the oppression and rose up to resist. In 841 B.C., there was a "national rebellion", King Li had to escape from Haojing, crossed the Yellow River, and fled to the border of the Zhou Dynasty - Yu (now northeast of Huo County, Shanxi), and the country was managed by Zhao Gong and Zhou Gong, known as "republican administration" in history. In the fourteenth year of the Zhou Republic (828 BC), King Li died and King Xuan succeeded to the throne.
King Xuan of Zhou rectified internal affairs, stabilized the order, reigned for 46 years, and revived the Zhou Dynasty for a while, but continued to crusade against the Rong who invaded the Zhou Dynasty, Di and Huaiyi failed, making "King Xuanwang Zhongxing" a flash in the pan.
King Xuan of Zhou died in 782 BC and was succeeded by his son King You, the twelfth and last monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou You attacked the country, and the leader of the country offered beautiful women to protect himself. King Zhou You favored Bao Xi and deposed the crown prince after he was deposed. What's more, in order to please Bao Xi, he raised the beacon fire of Lishan Mountain and staged the "beacon fire show princes", and lost his trust in the princes. In 771 BC, the dog Rong attacked and killed the Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.
The princes jointly supported their son Ji Yijiu to succeed him, which was for King Zhou Ping, who moved the national capital of Haojing (Xi'an) to the east to Luoyi (Luoyang) in order to avoid the dog Rong trouble, which is known as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
From the eastward migration of King Ping to the "Three Families of Jin" for the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), and the Three Families of the Jin Dynasty to the Qin Shi King to unify the Six Kingdoms for the Warring States Period (476 BC-221 BC).
The Zhou Dynasty was defeated by a few famous clans such as the dog Rong, and its prestige plummeted, and it gradually became unable to control the various princes under its banner, and the princes of all walks of life attacked each other and embezzled territory in order to strengthen their respective strengths. From the hundreds of princes who were divided into feuds at the beginning, to the Warring States, there were basically only Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi Seven Great Powers and a few small countries.
Qin was not a vassal state at the earliest, when King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu defeated the queen of Shang to carry out the feudal system, Qin was not among them, and was left in the west to guard Xiguan, until when King Ping of Zhou moved east, he was named a prince by King Ping for his meritorious escort and inherited the territory of the previous Zhou Dynasty.
Before the Yellow Crane Tower was climbed, my grandmother was physically exhausted, and she had to rest for a while after walking a few steps, and she didn't eat much in the morning. Shu Xin walked behind her grandmother, she found that her grandmother's body was a lot thinner, and her heart hurt, she hadn't seen her for two or three months, how could she feel that her grandmother's body was not as good as before.
Seeing her grandmother's panting, Shu Xin couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly grabbed her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I forgot that the Yellow Crane Tower was repaired today, and I won't open the door."
Grandma gasped and said, "You ...... Hurt grandma tired like this, go, go back. ”
For a few days in a row, Shu Xin found that grandma was different, her body was not as good as before, she suddenly covered her mouth and ran to the toilet when she was eating yesterday, and she would bring her bag into the bathroom when she took a shower at night. During the May Day period, Wuhan was already heating up, but as soon as the air conditioner was turned on, my grandmother was trembling. Shu Xin was worried that something had happened to her grandmother and didn't tell herself, and asked her grandmother if she had any disease for a few days, but her grandmother said no, and said that she was comfortable with a crow's mouth.
But Shu Xin still doubted, and when grandma went to Mo Homesick's house, she secretly opened her grandmother's bag, and there were large and small medicine bottles under the layers of clothes. Shu Xin felt that the sky was dark, and she cried with weakness. Although I don't know what kind of disease my grandmother has, I know that this disease is not small by looking at my grandmother's increasingly thin body and the large and small medicine bottles.
Grandma came back with a freshly prepared meal, and when she saw Shu Xin sitting on the ground crying and her bag opened, she understood. Grandma still said with a smile on her face: "Why did you open grandma's bag, everything was messed up by you, what are you doing on the ground, get up quickly."
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" This sound, Shu Xin almost roared.
"It's okay, people will have a little problem when they get old." Grandma said as she put the food on the table.
"You're still going to lie to me, what kind of illness is it? It's definitely not a minor illness, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take so much medicine. Shu Xin was still crying, and she looked helpless, like something important was about to disappear.
"A month ago, my grandmother felt more and more difficult to swallow, so she went to the hospital to see if it was esophageal cancer, which was in an advanced stage." Grandma was also uncomfortable when she looked comfortable, but if she didn't tell her, she couldn't be at peace today, so she told herself in her heart that her tone was calmer when she said it.
Shu Xin shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible...... Your body has always been so good, and you still eat and drink during the New Year, how can it be now. ”
Grandma said, "Grandma wanted to tell you, but she didn't say it for fear of affecting your studies."
Shu Xin hurriedly asked, "What did the doctor say?" Late ......".
Grandma's voice was lower, and she said, "Three months at most, and this is still barely able to eat and drink."
Shu Xin hugged her grandmother tightly, she didn't want to listen to it anymore, she couldn't listen to it anymore, her grandmother also cried, and both of them spent the night crying. Shu Xin cried the most, and her grandmother coaxed her all night like a child.
In the middle of the night, Shu Xin took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhou Tianle: I am single.
Early the next morning, I received a message from Zhou Tianle: Congratulations, you now have a boyfriend.
Comfortably replied: Who
Zhou Tianle replied: Me
Shu Xin is still thinking about grandma in her heart, these days grandma is forcing herself to swallow those foods, and her face has to pretend to be happy, very delicious, thinking of these, Shu Xin burst into tears, how did the uncomfortable grandma endure, the pieces of food pierced into the stomach like thorns. I am really ignorant, and I still want to take my grandmother on a trip. Grandma doesn't want to travel, she just wants to be with her granddaughter, and what about me? It's still spending money indiscriminately. Grandma must be angry and scared when she sees me like this, angry that I am ignorant and spend money indiscriminately, and what I am afraid of is how I will live my life in the future?
On the fifth day of May Day, Shu Xin sent a message to Zhou Tianle: Boyfriend, my grandmother wants to see you. Do you dare to come?
Zhou Tianle hesitated for a moment and replied: Why don't you dare
At the hotel, Shu Xin told her grandmother again: "Grandma, I actually have a boyfriend."
When grandma heard this, a faint smile appeared on her face and said, "Grandma knows, you can still deceive your grandma, where is that young man from?" Is it also from your school? How can you accompany grandma during this vacation, you should go and accompany him, what are you doing with this old woman, young people have to live the life of young people. ”
Shu Xin said: "He didn't go back on May Day, just reading books in our library, I heard that you were here, and he wanted to come to see you."
Grandma said. "Okay, okay, just don't be here, we'll see you out. Today you go to buy clothes for your grandmother, this will see your future grandson-in-law and grandmother can be formal, you can't be so casual, when will you meet? ”
Shu Xin said, "Tomorrow at noon."
"Good...... You can have a meal together and see which young man is so blessed. "As soon as I heard my grandmother say that it was comfortable to eat, my heart hurt, my grandmother has never done anything bad, why should God be so cruel to my grandmother, are you really blind?
