Volume 1 Queen Fanji 55 Song State Kills the King

"Duoyou ------" Zhao Bohu held his chest, shook his body twice, and waved his hand weakly.

One of his legs had already stepped out, and he remembered one more thing, turned and said, "By the way, there is one more thing." When Mrs. Ji was in the mansion, Wei Shizi went to worship. There is also a lot of gossip in Chaoge City about this------"

He didn't say any more and quietly withdrew. Zhao Bohu silently plucked the hairpin on his head, stared at it for a long time, and muttered: "Duoyou, alas! I wonder where you are at this time? ”

The five drums sounded, and the door was opened, and the civil and military ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty bowed in two columns and walked in the direction of the main hall. Today, Zhou Gongding is still in the lead, but the person who followed behind was replaced by Zhao Bohu. Just after the New Year, the funeral of the father of the new Zhaoguo Gong has been completed, and this is the first time he has been in court since he succeeded to the position of Zhaogong.

"The king has ascended to the palaceβ€”" The chamberlain shouted, and the courtiers prostrated themselves on the floor tiles of the hall and shouted long live. King Zhou Yi raised his sleeves and sat behind the king's case, caught a glimpse of Zhao Bohu, and greeted cordially: "Zimu is also here!" ”

"The minister is afraid, King Xie is concerned!"

The greetings are over, and it's time to deal with state affairs. Balabala said a lot, and Zhao Bohu understood that in the past half a year since he was absent, the two countries had two territorial disputes. Ji Qi's boundary was not clearly drawn, since he couldn't marry Boji, Ji Hou felt that his family had suffered a loss and had to make up for it, plus his daughter was favored and someone supported him, so he let go of his courage to expand his territory. It's just a matter of attacking Yirong, he won't even let go of the vassal country of Qi, so he will naturally provoke the bad-tempered Qi Hou. They all came to Zhou Tianzi for comment, they were all the future in-laws of King Zhou, Ji Xie was biased towards Ji Hou in his heart, but on the face, he was still in charge of Qi Guo.

The public said that the public was reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and it was a mess, until the dynasty was dispersed, Zhao Bohu still felt dizzy, and it was better to be at home to mourn and be quiet.

Because the story of King Wu's war is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many people think that the Shang Dynasty only has a capital of Chaoge, but they don't know that Shangqiu's time as the capital of Shang is not shorter than that of Chaoge. In the early days of the Shang Dynasty in the Central Plains, the people of the Yin Shang Dynasty still lived in the last two hundred years after the fall of the Zi Dynasty.

Just after the New Year of the third year of King Zhou Yi, on the official road from the Song Guotai Temple to the palace, a group of people and horses were moving forward. When it comes to the season, it can be regarded as the beginning of spring, but the wind stubbornly brings the cold snap of the northern grasslands, and the snowflakes in the sky are sprinkled from the dark sky, dyeing the barren grass on both sides of the official road and the thatched roofs of the villages in the distance a thin and miserable white.

The spears in the hands of the warriors stabbed straight into the sky, and the white breath from their mouths was ethereal in the air. They tightly guarded a curtain horse Xuan car in the center, which was the car of Song Gongzixi, who had just announced the change of the yuan to the temple.

"Whoosh-" A feathered arrow roared, piercing the stagnant air and hitting the Emperor's chest in response. Before the rest of the samurai could react, countless arrows whizzed from all directions, and the unshielded samurai were struck one after another.

"There are assassins, protect the lord." The warriors who survived this rain of arrows vigilantly guarded both sides of Song Gong's chariot with shields in hand.

"Ahh There were no less than hundreds of them, and after a desperate battle, there were less than ten of Song Gongxi's guards left. All of them were seriously injured, but at this moment, they all put their lives and deaths out of the way, and they leaned close to each other in unison, raising the wooden shields in their hands above their heads, protecting their bodies like a big fish with tight scales.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the dead men made way for a passage, and a young man in silver armor rode forward. With a loud roar, the young man stabbed the halberd in his hand forward, and with a lift, the entire carriage burst into flames in an instant. A middle-aged man was sitting in a car with an arrow in his shoulder and bleeding. He is the son of Song Yang who has just ascended the throne.

"Sure enough, it's you! The widow knew that you would be unwilling, and never thought that you could be so impatient! Song Gong pointed at the young man and said angrily.

"Hahaha-" The young man looked up to the sky and laughed, and pointed at the halberd in his hand: "My good uncle, there are many things you can't think of!" You are just my father's brother, why should you inherit the throne of the Song Kingdom? It's just that he took advantage of my father's lack of a son-in-law, and he whispered in his ears all day long, 'the concubine does not inherit the business'. What nonsense? The Son of Heaven is not a son-in-law, although we are not from Mrs. Yan, but we are also my father's blood, why should I give this throne to you? What a joke! ”

"Zi Kui, you are presumptuous!" Song Gongxi pointed at him and scolded angrily: "The widow has changed the yuan to the temple, the status of the monarch and the minister has been decided, and the edict of the king of Zhou has also arrived in Shangqiu." If you kill the king and usurp like this, you will definitely attract the indignation of the whole world, and raise the banner of righteousness to fight against it! ”

"I'm presumptuous!" Zi Qi raised the halberd in his hand, and his eyes were cold: "You flies have long forgotten that this world was once the world of my son's surname. Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil! Let's start with you! ”

"Childe, don't be verbose with him, hurry up and kill something!" As he spoke, a leading dead soldier stabbed a nearby samurai to death.

Zi Kun Xi waved his hand, and the dead soldiers shouted, and they rushed up, and it was another bloody battle in an instant. After a short but fierce fight, there was no longer a living warrior in front of Song Gongxi. He was afraid, the fear of death enveloped this prince with the highest rank in the Central Plains, he retreated, and muttered: "The Son of Heaven will not let you go!" ”

A cold light was under the eyebrows of Zi Kun's sword: "Son of Heaven? Just with that coward who was demoted to greet him, he also deserved it? He threw the halberd in his hand hard, Song Gongxi's chest was pierced in an instant, blood flowed from his eyes, mouth and nose, and his body was crooked and he didn't move.

The leading dead man stepped forward to probe his snort, and immediately knelt down on one leg: "Childe, he is dead!" ”

"Okay, Rongyi, this time you have made a great contribution to your advice. In the future, you and I will share the country! Zi Qi praised. He pulled the halberd out of Song Gongxi's corpse, stabbed it into the dark sky, and shouted, "I should stand!" ”

The dead soldiers raised their swords, guns, swords and halberds one after another, and echoed: "Kill into Shangqiu and change the Song Dynasty!" ”

From Shangqiu to Hojing, the road is long and obstructive. Zi Kun killed his uncle and father and son in the harsh winter, but when the news reached Hojing, it was already in the middle of spring. The spring light in the palace is just right, and the peach blossom branches that poke out of the palace wall just bloom spring buds, and some anxious bones have opened half buds, and the garden is full of scorching pink.

With the blooming of peach blossoms, the envoy sent by the newly enthroned Song Li Gongzi has also entered the Hojing Pavilion Station to send a problem to King Zhou Yi. Should we recognize the new Song Duke who killed the monarch and seized the throne? He can't be ambiguous, he has to come up with a black and white attitude.

It is not surprising that the views of the ministers of the DPRK and China are divided into two distinct factions this time. One faction advocated the immediate expulsion of the Song envoys and the transfer of the Eighth Division of the Zhou Dynasty to the army to crusade against the crime of killing the emperor of Zi Kun in order to maintain orthodoxy, but this faction was led by Zhao Bohu and only received the support of some upright civil officials; The other faction, led by Zhou Gongding, advocated the resolution of major matters into small ones, and recognized the legitimacy of the new monarch of the Song state, and strangely all military attachΓ©s supported this opinion, even Duke Yu.

The two factions had a fierce quarrel in the court. Zhao Bohu said: "Song Yang Gongxi has sued the temple to change the yuan, and Zi Kun sacrificed to kill the king to seize the throne, which is obviously to kill the king with his ministers, and he is guilty of the following crimes. If this kind of thing can be turned a blind eye, then in the future, all the princes of the world will rise up and follow suit, won't it be chaotic? ”

Zhou Gongding retorted: "Chaos is also the original source. Song Yigong has his own son, but he is passed on to his younger brother, which is the source of chaos, and Zi Kun Xi does this, which can be regarded as a source of reason. After speaking, he also glanced meaningfully at King Zhou Yi, who was high above.

Another person said: "Even so, Zi Qi is only the second son of the first father, and there is a brother above, so why can't it be his turn?" ”

The eldest father of Duke Yu and the mud: "I heard that he gave way to his brother Fufu He, but his brother insisted on not accepting it, so he took the throne." ”

Zhao Bohu snorted coldly: "I'm afraid of becoming the next target!" King, my surname Ji is the world, and "Zhou Li" is the foundation of governing the country, what is the difference between Zi Kun Xi and Chu Man, who killed the king, to do such an exterminating thing? Please send troops to fight against this thief, and the country will be right! ”

What is Ji Xie's opinion? Of course, he is inclined to Zhou Gongding, for many reasons, but the most fundamental one is: the war Song is a loss-making business. If it is a crusade against the country of Rongdi, if it wins, it can expand its territory; What can Kova Song fish? and can't destroy the Song Kingdom, after all, they are descendants of Yin Shang, and they can't stop their sacrifices according to the "Zhou Rites". If you lose, it's better to say, and if you win, you have to cut meat from yourself to reward the meritorious generals. This transaction only loses money and does not make money, and not to mention the experience of being taken over the throne by his uncle ancestor King Xiao, Ji Xie still has some sympathy for this son.

As a result of the court discussion, it was natural that Zhou Gongding's opinion prevailed, and King Zhou Yi summoned the Song envoy and recognized Zi Kun as the new Song Duke, which was the seventh monarch of the Song State - Song Li Gong. Zhao Bohu was outnumbered, only angry.

At the beginning of February, the spring is cold, and the willow branches and leaves are showing tender new green. Because it is early spring, the sun does not shine on people, but it is very warm and comfortable. On the official road outside the gate of Shangqiu, the capital of Song, two long convoys came from the east and the north respectively.

When they got closer, people saw clearly that in the middle of the two convoys was a Xuan car with red colored silk, and the breeze came slowly, sending a burst of fragrance. This is clearly two convoys of weddings! Looking at the posture of hugging in front and back, and the long carriage full of boxes and cages in the back, you know that the dowry is rich. The people of the Song Kingdom are talking to each other, whose daughters are these daughters marrying? It's a miracle that such a big deal can come to two at once!
