Chapter 512: The Zhengqing of the Zhou Royal Family

After a long time, Wu Zixu never noticed anything unusual in his body.

This made Wu Zixu a little suspicious.

Is the poisonous wine that is rewarded for celebration a chronic poison?

"This wine is non-toxic."

Seeing that Wu Zixu really drank all the wine, Sun Wu chuckled and said, "Zixu, don't hide it, the king didn't give you any poisonous wine. ”

"I found this wine to test you."

"I ......"

Wu Zixu was very surprised for a while.

However, he also had to admit that Sun Wu was indeed flexible enough.

The two are actually the same kind of people.

can be improvised, but Wu Zixu's things are particularly extreme.

It's like this time, without getting Qingji's order, he sent troops to attack Zheng without authorization, which almost made a big mistake.

And Sun Wu is different.

Sun Wu is an "all-rounder", his talents in all aspects are not low, his emotional intelligence is also very high, and he has a certain political acumen.

Compared with Wu Zixu, Sun Wu can look at each other.

……

The time entered the twelfth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 502 BC, the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

Wu Zixu led the army to conquer Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng State, and Zheng Boji fled.

Then, Ji Qi led the army led by Shi Ying, Zhao Ying and other Jin State Secretaries, and approached the city of Xinzheng, preparing to break out a big battle.

However, such a Wu and Jin war, because of the arrival of Wu Wang Qingji, came to an abrupt end.

Qingji, who came to Xinzheng City, first admonished Wu Zixu, who was eager for quick success, and then told him that he would claim that Wu Zixu was under Qingji's secret order, so he sent troops to attack Zheng, instead of making his own opinion.

In this way, it can not only keep Qingji's royal power from being challenged, but also give Wu Zixu a step down.

Rao is like this, Qingji still has to punish Wu Zixu to set an example.

Qingji ordered Wu Zixu to return to Wu State, still serving as the imperial historian, and Sun Wu was replaced by Sun Wu as the official position of Jing State Ling Yin and ruling Jing State.

Regarding Qingji's appointment, Wu Zixu has no objection.

After all, he almost poked out a big basket this time, and he still needs Qingji to wipe his ass......

In the face of the Jin-Zheng coalition army that was eyeing outside Xinzheng City, Qingji did not panic at all.

Because long before, Bo Biao had already sent an envoy to the Jin Kingdom, and I believe that he would be able to promote the Luoyi meeting between Wu and Jin in the near future.

The impact of the war between Wu and Jin, I believe that the six secretaries of the Jin State should know it.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news that the Marquis of Jin had promised to meet the alliance.

Qingji then led Sun Wu to garrison Xinzheng City, and he took Wu Zixu, Bo Yu, Fan Li and other generals, as well as the Tiger Army and Yulin Army to Luoyi.

This time, the alliance involved the three kingdoms of Wu (Jing), Jin, and Zheng, and was ostensibly mediated by Zhou Tianzi.

……

Luoyi was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

The breadth of the eight directions, Zhou Luo is in the middle, and it is called Luoyi.

Luoyi is the place where King Wu of Zhou settled in the Central Plains, and the place where King Cheng of Zhou "Zhaizi China".

In the past, Zhou Gong Ji Dan camped Luoyi, because it was in the soil, and the princes were in all directions, so Luoyi was established as the capital division.

In order to manage the East, the Duke of Zhou built two cities in the north of Luoshui, the east and west of Qianshui, which were collectively called Luoyi.

To the west is the royal city, where the palace sleeps.

To the east is Cheng Zhou, where the temple of the Zhou royal family is located, and it is also the place where Yin immigrants moved.

Between Jianshui and Qianshui is the Zhou people's settlement area, and the east of the Qianshui is the Yin people's settlement area.

Accompanied by a group of ministers and doctors of the State of Wu, the first thing Qingji did when he entered the Luoyi Royal City was to go to the palace to pay homage to the Son of Heaven.

Coming to the city gate to greet Qingji and his party was the Taifu Shan Di of the Zhou royal family.

The highest official position of the Zhou Dynasty was called the Three Princes, and this Three Princes was different from the Three Princes of later generations.

It's different from Wu Guo's.

Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, these are the three dukes of the Zhou Dynasty.

The Taishi is to help the monarch deal with the government, and the Taifu is mainly in the area of etiquette.

If the monarch is mainly young, then the Taifu also has an important duty to give lectures to the monarch.

Taibao started from the time of King Zhou Cheng, because King Zhou Cheng was young when he succeeded to the throne, so he let Zhaogong serve as Taibao, and "Bao" has the meaning of nanny.

In general, these three official positions are the highest official positions, both in charge of literature and martial arts, and the monarch was still an auxiliary minister when he was young.

Then these three official positions also have auxiliary officers, that is, the young master, the young master, and the young guard.

Then below is the six secretaries, the prime minister's Dazai;

The person in charge of the affairs of the dynasty and the sacrificial rites is called Taizong;

The one responsible for recording history is called Taishi;

The person who is responsible for communicating with heaven and earth and presiding over sacrifices is called Taizhu, that is, a sorcerer;

The one in charge of divination is called Taibu;

The person in charge of the divine affairs is called the Taishi.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the official positions of Taishi and Dazai, Taizhu and Taitu have overlapped.

This is not the case.

Taishi is one of the three princes of the Zhou royal family, and it is responsible for the affairs of the entire world.

Dazai is different, it is "in charge of the state", and the state is the country.

In other words, Dazai was in charge of the affairs of Zhou Tianzi's own state, that is, the Wangji region, so the two were different.

After that, there are five senses, namely Situ who is in charge of land and peasants, Si Shi who is in charge of the title of Juelu, Si Kou who is in charge of criminal law, Sima who is in charge of military affairs, and Sikong who is in charge of the construction of hundreds of crafts.

Then there are the four parties who manage the affairs of the vassal states, and the three officials (administrative officials, administrative officials, and magistrates) who help the three princes deal with specific affairs.

There is also the secretary of the Liuqing......

As for the decline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's royal power, the official position of Taishi has not been available for a long time.

The ruler of the Zhou royal family is Zhengqing, and the assistant is Jieqing.

For example, Zheng Zhuanggong, a small tyrant in the Spring and Autumn Period, served as the head of the Zhou royal family.

In the future, the Zhou royal family will be even more miserable, and the princes will not even be uncommon in the position of Zhengqing.

At this time, Zhou Tianzi would crown them as Uncle Fang, which meant that the princes were the chiefs, and then almost no one took care of the Zhou royal family.

If you want to become the overlord of the princes, you must be the "Uncle Fang" canonized by Zhou Tianzi.

Nominally, including Qingji, it is more important.

Rao is like this, the current Zhou royal family has declined to the point of decay.

The territory belonging to Zhou Tianzi is twice as small as the territory of Zheng Guo.

That's it, Zhou Tianzi also has to divide his own territory to some doctors......

"Shan Tu see Wu Hou!"

Shan Tu led a group of retainers, as well as some ministers of the Zhou royal family with lower official ranks, to greet Qingji.

"Taifu doesn't have to be polite. The tired Taifu led the way and introduced the Son of Heaven to the widow. ”

Qingji smiled and groaned.

"It's an honor!"

Shan Di nodded and made a "please" gesture, and said, "Wu Hou, please!" ”

"Thank you."

Qingji bowed slightly, and immediately boarded his own car, officially entering the Luoyi Royal City.

Fan Li, Bo Yan, Wu Zixu, and a group of guards who followed behind him also looked majestic and high-spirited.
