Chapter 178: The Phantom Envoy Zhou Dies, and the Spring and Autumn Period Begins
However, it is said that Cihang Daoren, Fuxian Zhenren, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun have long been jealous and hateful of the original Tianzun's preference for Guangchengzi, so after Guangchengzi beheaded the corpse, the jealousy in the hearts of the three could no longer be endured, so they had different hearts. At this time, the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother came to persuade the three to defect to the Western Buddhism, and under the bewitchment of the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother, the three finally agreed to betray the teachings and join the Buddhism.
At that moment, Cihang Daoist thought for a moment, and said to the Buddha Mother: "But the time has not yet come at this time, we still can't worship the West immediately, and please forgive the Buddha Mother." Hearing this, Fuxian Zhenren and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun also nodded. Although the three of them have made up their minds to defect to the Western Buddhism, they may not be able to swagger forward, and they still need to take advantage of the primordial Tianzun's unpreparedness before they can act.
When the Buddha Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "The three Taoist friends can just look at this matter." So the poor monk took his leave. After that, he got up and walked out, he met with the three of them this time, if it wasn't for Amitabha Buddha to cover the heavens for him, he would have been discovered by the primordial Tianzun, and at this time he saw that the three of them agreed, so he hurriedly left.
After Cihang and the others saw Zhun Ti leave, they began to discuss how to apostatize, this matter was very important, naturally they must not let the Primordial Tianzun notice, otherwise how could they have their lives to defect to the West? At that moment, the three of them agreed that as long as the Primordial Tianzun relaxed a little, the three of them would leave Kunlun Mountain and go to the west.
At this time, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was still happy that there were three more quasi-saints under his door, but he didn't know that three of his disciples were about to apostatize and leave
Ancestral star, since the opening of the earth fairy world, after the separation of immortals, the theory of immortals gradually only appeared in legends. At this time, the disciples of all sects were in retreat to comprehend the harvest of the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and they could not preach separately, so that worshipping saints in the world gradually became a custom.
Let's say that the grandson of King Nawu, because of his fear of the saints of heaven and earth, consulted with his subordinates and proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, and since then the Son of Heaven has been passed down to future generations. When it was passed to the king of You, at this time the Western Zhou Dynasty was rampant, and the virtuous ministers could not tolerate the faint monarchs and ministers, causing the people to live in poverty, which was a good year, and there was hunger all over the place. If you encounter a natural disaster [***], it is a deserted village for dozens of miles, and there are few people.
At this time, the imperial court was already weak. Thanks to the princes from all over the country, they still remember the legend handed down by their ancestors, that the Western Zhou Dynasty, with the protection of the immortals, did not dare to rebel easily.
It is said that the king of Youwang is a man, violent and unkind, and unpredictable. When Fang forgave Yin, he was a small group, drinking and eating meat, and had no sorrow. His wife, Empress Jiang, is the queen of Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan. The Jiang family has guarded Donglu for generations, and this has been the case since the time of Yin Shang. That Jiang Hou is virtuous and virtuous, and her mother is the world. Everywhere in the four seas, no one can praise it. King Youwang is incompetent, but most of the decrees in the court are from Empress Jiang.
Empress Jiang said that she worked hard all night, and after all, she couldn't afford to get sick, and she passed away at the age of thirty. After the death of Empress Jiang, King Youfa lost his fear, was obsessed with his voice, and ignored the government. It was also the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and a group of loyal and upright ministers in the court died one after another. Youwang used three other sons, Gong Saigong and Yin Qiu, the son of Yin Jifu, to tie for the third duke. The three of them are all friends of the young man of Youwang, all of them are slanderous people, greedy for Mulu's generation, but the king wants to meet them.
But he said that the doctor was praised, and he lived in Baocheng, and because of the king of You, he angered the Son of Heaven and was imprisoned in Chaoge Prison. Since then, the road has been pure, and the virtuous and heroic have disintegrated. There was a farmer in that land, and he gave birth to a daughter, and she was named Baoxi. He was fourteen years old, like sixteen or seventeen years old. He also has beautiful eyes and clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, black clouds, and jade in the fingers, like flowers and moons, and the appearance of the country and the city. One is to live in the countryside, and the other is to praise the young age, so although there is a stunning, no one is hired.
Besides, Bao Sheng has a son, named Hong De, since Bao Sheng was imprisoned, Hong De spent the night thinking about how to save his father from prison.
As soon as he said, Hong De swam to Bao Di and accidentally saw Bao Xi, and he was immediately shocked. At that moment, Hong De secretly thought to himself, "King You likes beauty, if you sacrifice such a beauty, you can just save your father from the cage." So he agreed with the big that he would buy three hundred horses of cloth and dozens of acres of fertile land to go home, and only be commensurate with brothers and sisters. After Hong De returned home, he taught Bao Xi to count the number of courtesies, and then carried it to Hojing and dedicated it to King You.
When the king of Youxi saw Bao Xi, he saw his attitude and attitude, he had never seen it, and when he was looking forward to it, he was shining. Suddenly, the dragon face was happy, and he only felt that the three thousand in the harem could not compare to this woman. Immediately pardoned the sin of praise, ordered the back cover to be returned, and added a thousand stones. Since then, the king of Youwang and the Bao Xi sit on top of each other, stand side by side, drink the cup, eat the same vessel, and do not go to court for ten consecutive days.
Since the king of Youwang has been praised, he is obsessed with his color, and he lives in Qiongtai for about three months, and he does not enter the harem.
Although she was born from a humble background, she was both intelligent and far-sighted. After entering the palace, with convenience, I went into the water like a sponge and worked hard to learn all kinds of knowledge. She was favored by the Youwang, the conditions were unique, and she was smart, and she studied for a month and was about the same as others for a year. After a few years, it is also a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are known, and since then it has won the favor of the Son of Heaven, and within a few months, the king of you will be crowned as the queen.
From a village woman to the mother of a country, she has a special favorite, but she has never smiled. The king of Youwang used all kinds of means to please her, wanted to take her pleasure, summoned the musicians to beat the bell and drum, tasted the bamboo and played the silk, and the palace people sang and danced, but there was no joy at all.
Youwang was anxious, so he had to ask: "Zitong smells music badly, what's the matter?"
Bao Xi just didn't say anything, and when she was in a hurry, she said, "The concubine doesn't have any hobbies." It's just that back then, I remembered the crack of my hand, and its voice was refreshing and audible. ”
It turned out that when she was a child, her family was poor, and when she wanted to wear it, she was full of linen clothes. There was once a saying that the daughter of the village was passing by in silk clothes, which made her very jealous. Later, the woman's silk shirt was hung on the car and torn, which made Bao Xi very happy, like the most beautiful music in the world, so she said it at this time.
The king said: "If you like to hear the sound of cracking, why don't you say it earlier?" When even the treasurer said that he would enter the color of a hundred horses, so that the powerful one of the palace would be cracked, so as to please praise him.
It's a pity that I have been eating and drinking for a long time, and when I hear this voice again, I don't have the slightest pleasure in the past, and I still don't see a smiling face.
King Youwang was helpless, summoned his ministers, and said: "It doesn't matter who is inside or outside the palace, there are those who can praise and smile, and they will be rewarded with a thousand gold." ”
At this time, there was a famous stone father who offered a plan: "The ancestors of the past dynasties planned for Koubian, set up more than 100 chimneys around the court, and put dozens of big drums, but there were thieves, put up wolf smoke, and rushed straight to Xiao Han, the nearby princes, sent troops to rescue, and sounded the big drum to urge to come. Today, it is peaceful, and the beacon fire is extinguished. If my lord wants the queen to speak, he must play the sacred mountain with his mother, raise the beacon smoke at night, and the princes' reinforcements will come, and the queen will laugh without a doubt. ”
The so-called sacred mountain, is the pickaxe outside the capital of the peach blossom mountain is also, this mountain is the most magnificent place outside the song city, because Jiang Ziya was in the peach blossom mountain to seal the god, it has the name of the sacred mountain. After King Wu ascended the throne, he set the ancestral system, usually not allowed to go to the sacred mountain at will, only every four o'clock to worship the gods of the heavenly court.
The king of Youwang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "This plan is very good!" So he drove to Peach Blossom Mountain with Bao Xi to play. At this time, there were many annihilators in the DPRK and China, and there were few loyal and upright people, but they were humble and weak, and they could not be dissuaded. In the evening, a banquet was set up on the altar of the gods, and the order was raised and the drum was raised. The drums thundered, and the artillery candles.
The Western Zhou Dynasty can be divided into five parts, the pickaxe capital is in the middle, and the four towns are Bohou on all sides. That Chao Song Beacon together, east to the Wandering Soul Pass, south to Sanshan Pass, west to Wuguan, north to the Yellow River, the princes from all over the country, suspected that there was a change in Beijing, one by one immediately led the troops to point the generals, and rushed overnight.
When I came to Hojing, I found that the wind was calm and there was no sign of rebellion. Tracing back to the source, came to Peach Blossom Mountain, but heard the sound of the pipe, the king of you and the concubine drank and had fun on the god platform, and when he saw the princes, the king smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is no foreign robber, no trek." ”
The princes looked at each other and rolled up their flags back. The concubine was upstairs, and she saw that the princes were busy going back by the railing, and there was nothing to do, so she couldn't help but stroke her palms and laugh. King Youwang was a little drunk, overjoyed, and said, "If you can finally see your concubine smile, it is worth exchanging this world." So he rewarded Shi's father with a thousand gold. This is the matter of the princes of the Ghost King Beacon Fire Opera.
But after this incident, Bao Xi lost his smile again, and when King You saw this, he used beacon fire to lead the princes to play with each other several times. Labor and money are not great. And these princes in the territory of Hojing are actually the most loyal princes, but even if they are loyal to the Western Zhou Dynasty, they have gradually begun to deviate from Germany after so many tosses.
Later, there was really a dog Rong clan attacked, and the king of you ordered someone to light a beacon fire to summon all the princes to come to help, but the princes thought that the king of you was playing tricks on him again, so they ignored it, and the king of you ate the consequences of his own evil and was killed by the dog Rong. After that, King Ping moved east to Luoyi, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began. Since then, the Zhou dynasty has no longer had the slightest prestige.
At the same time, the power of the vassal states gradually became stronger, attacking each other, and some princes even began to attack the land of Luoyi. The princes of the world, there are not one out of ten people who come to worship every year. The decrees issued by Luoyi can only be carried out in the vicinity of the royal city, and at this time, Da Zhou is like an old man, although he is called the co-lord of the world, in fact, he has lost control over the princes in various places.
To the east of Taihang, there are princes named Qi. Since the reign of King You, the princes have stood on their own, and this Qi country is the first batch. The Duke of Qi abolished the well field system, determined taxes according to the fertility of the land, set up salt, iron officials and coinage, and quickly became the richest and most powerful country among the countries.
After King Ping moved eastward, the lord of Qi also changed many times, and to Duke Huan, the national strength was even stronger.
This Huan Gong is also a promising king, with Guan Zhong as the prime minister, first of all, the division of the country and the field, the capital of the country is the country, and the others are the wild. There are 21 townships in the country, including 6 townships for industry and commerce and 15 townships for Shi. And set every five families as a track, ten tracks and one mile, four miles and one company, and ten companies and one township. It also set up three secretaries for ministers, three clans for work, three townships for business, three Yu for Ze, and three balances for mountains. In the field, there are 30 families and one yi, 10 yi and 1 pawn, 10 pawns and 1 township, three townships and one county, and 10 counties and one genus, which belong to the doctor. There are five genera in the country, and five subordinate doctors are set up to govern separately.
Residents of the state of Qi are required to perform military service. Training during the slack season, and going out on the expedition during the war. This not only improves the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also does not have to pay for the cost of raising soldiers. In addition, in order to solve the problem of insufficient weapons, it is stipulated that crimes can be atonemented with weapons. In the fifth year of the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, he convened the princes of Song, Chen, Cai, and other countries to meet the alliance, becoming the first prince in history to serve as the leader of the alliance.
Since then, people have entered the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons.
