Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 336: How difficult it is to prosper

When he received the news that the Onoze group of thieves attacked the city of Kan, the whole person of Luhou was not well. Toli Literature Network

"It is Song's crime to let the thieves disturb the resting place of the ancestors!" (Song is the name of the Marquis of Lu)

As he talked, the monarch in his fifties burst into tears, and the temple people beside him were also very sad.

It has been more than 500 years since the state of Lu was enfeoffed in the land of Dadong from Boqin. According to the original custom, Boqin and other former four generations of Luhou died and were buried in Zongzhou. One hundred years after the confinement, the Zhou people gradually regarded Lu as their homeland, and the nine kings of Wei, Li, Xian, Zhen, Wu, Yi, Xiao, Hui, and Yin were buried at the foot of Fangshan in the east of Qufu City.

When King Ping moved eastward, after Duke Huan of Lu killed his brother, Duke Yin, maybe he was uneasy, or maybe he didn't want to stay with the dead ghost, so he began to find another tomb for himself.

In the eleventh year of Duke Huan of Lu, he and the Duke of Song met in Kancheng to observe the landscape, and saw only auspicious clouds surrounded by mountains and auspicious qi in the water. , for the feng shui treasure, buried here after death. Afterwards, the eight monarchs of Lu, Zhuang, Min, Xi, Wen, Xuan, Cheng, Xiang, and Zhao were also buried south of the Huan cemetery, which is the origin of the Lu Zhu cemeteries.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the major events of the country were the sacrifice and the Rong. Rong Shi has been in the hands of San Huan since the third and fourth offices, and the Marquis of Lu could not even gather the archers who could shoot the ceremony.

The Marquis of Lu couldn't even "govern by the Ning clan and sacrifice by the widow", and the sacrificial matters were often invaded by the Sanhuan. For example, 20 years ago, on the winter solstice, according to the rules, there were 64 people dancing in the Temple of Zhou Gongzhi, but in the end there were only two "dancing people". His elder brother Lu Zhaogong only found out when he asked that all the dancers went to Ji's family temple to dance, and they also "danced in the courtyard", arrogantly using the etiquette of the emperor.

Only the sacrifice to the mausoleum of the first emperor of the state of Lu, Sanhuan has not yet overtaken his place, this is also the only comfort of Luhou, so when the master of ceremonies Liu Xiaji informed him of the bad news. Lu Hou felt that the sky was about to fall.

Da Situ Ji Sunsi, Da Sikong Mengsun He Ji, and Sanyi Zhong doctor Zhao Wuxi came together and stood in the hall, under the gaze of Luhou.

Half a moment ago, they were discussing how to pacify the pirates at the official office. The bell of Lu Palace suddenly rang loudly, and it was Luhou who struck it himself, and urgently summoned them for an audience. The three of them were surprised and could only enter the palace. When they passed outside the palace, they saw the emcee Liu Xiaji who could not afford to kneel. Only then did I know that this person informed Lu Hou of the news.

Robber Zhi, but Liu Xiaji's concubine younger brother, Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji naturally angrily refused to give him a good look, and waved their sleeves away, only Zhao Wuxi stood still and said a few words of comfort, but the temple people who led the way in front of him Said that Lu Houcui was nervous, so it was too late to say more.

...

"How is the situation in Kancheng now?"

After entering the dormitory, Marquis Lu asked the matter a few times while taking the case. It was going to be normal, so how could he dare to ask more about political affairs?

"Your Majesty. The news from the chief of the city of Kancheng said that there were three or four thousand thieves besieging the city. It is said that the thief Zhi himself was also there. If the cities and towns are not protected, the tombs of the nine ancestors will no longer be sheltered..."

Ji Sunsi broke out in cold sweat and did not dare to say any more. Duke Huan of Lu was not only the ancestor of the Marquis of Lu, but also the common ancestor of Ji and Shusun. The ancestral grave of one's own family is in danger of being dug up. No wonder he and Mengsun Heji couldn't sit still. After a brief discussion with Zhao Wuxi, they had to inform Luhou of such important events.

Sure enough, the Marquis of Lu heard that Kancheng was temporarily safe. Immediately, his eyes lit up: "Then Da Situ and Da Sikong don't hurry up and send troops to attack the thieves?"

Standing behind Er Qing, Zhao Wuxi had a serious face, looking at his nose and heart, Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the Yanghu rebellion is still unresolved, and the issue of sending troops. I'm afraid..."

Why? Up to now, they are either unwilling or unable.

In addition to keeping half of the soldiers to protect themselves, the rest of the private members drove to the strong city of Feiyi to face off against the rebels in Gongshan. If they retreated easily, these temporarily assembled soldiers with low morale would probably be expelled. After the attack, it caused a rout, and maybe it was directly defeated and returned to the city of Qufu.

And half of the Meng clan's army had already moved northward, ready to occupy Guancheng, which was occupied by the Yanghu Yu Party.

Although there are still some people around the two families, but that is to beware of each other, beware of Zhao Wuxi's self-insurance capital, and must not be dispatched!

Seeing that Er Huan didn't answer, the Marquis of Lu knew that they were unwilling to send troops, so he could only cry out, but the whole person swept away the useless appearance of these days, and it was rare to become clear.

"The Great Situ is right, since the widow took the throne, the state of Lu has been in such a difficult time. First, the ministers took charge of the country's life. Now the chaos of Yanghu has ended. The robber Zhi attacked him again. Fortunately, Qi State probably won't be able to recruit troops again this year, otherwise, Lu will perish!"

He pointed directly at the key points, making Ji and Meng embarrassed.

Seeing Erqing's silence, Marquis Lu stood up in a daze, he untied his hair bun, patted the copper pillar with a disheveled hair and sang sadly, "What do parents eat?

The vertical temples also wept in unison, and suddenly there was a mourning from above and below the Lu Palace.

The original meaning of this poem is that the peasants bemoaned the lack of food and looked up to their parents, raised their heads and asked the heavens, when will this sorrow and pain end?

The Marquis of Lu took this and cried out sadly, if the tombs of the ancestors were not protected, how would they accept the blood and food they offered themselves? When it comes to theft, what is the limit?

He finally glanced back at Ji's and Meng's, and said with a miserable smile: "It's up to now, does it mean that the widow and the erect temple in the palace can't be conquered in person?"

The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers. Although the Ji family and the Meng family have been domineering for many years, after all, they have the identity of ministers.

During the whole process, Zhao Wuxi, who was standing with his hands down, had a heavy expression on his face, but he was overjoyed.

To put it into perspective, he and Lu Guo's office are not related by blood, and it is none of their business, so there is no constipation expression like Er Huan's dead father. This afternoon, he was still thinking about how to open his mouth to fool these two selfish and short-sighted masters to help him re-open the Xibian road blocked by the group of thieves, and solve the siege of the Central Capital, but the people who sent him gave him a face. Ash, but looking at the current appearance, they are asking for themselves.

As far as Zhao Wuxi knew, the ancestral mausoleum was destroyed by rogues before the dynasties died, probably the most famous in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, the tomb of Zhuming's ancestors in Fengyang was burned by Zhang Xianzhong, and Emperor Chongzhen had to cry and scramble to apologize to the ancestors of all dynasties, and also wrote an edict of guilt. What's more, this is the Spring and Autumn Period when ancestor worship is very popular and things are like death?

If there is a trouble in the state of Lu, the tomb of the first emperor was excavated and destroyed by the thieves, it would be the biggest laughing stock in the world, and the last fig leaf in the kingdom of Zhou Gong would be torn apart. And Meng Shi will also be poked through the spine by angry Chinese fingers for lack of protection.

On the one hand, they were unwilling to send troops, but they had to save them, so they could only count on Zhao Wuxi's military pawns, but before they could discuss it carefully, they were called in by the bell of Luhou.

What I didn't expect was that today Lu Hou played out of the ordinary, and his words were so sharp. I really don't know if he suddenly burst into light, or if he usually hides and hides, pretending to be stupid and incompetent?

Regarding this issue, Zhao Wuxi felt that he should pay attention to it. At the same time, he knew that it was his turn to appear, so he stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty is right, but even though the situation is critical, how could a group of robbers be stumped by the 500-year-old government of Lu? I remember the doctor Sima Hou of Jin once said, 'It may be difficult to fix it. Its country, open its territory', this is how difficult it is to build a state! The emperor has superiority, and the ministers are willing to serve, as long as the emperor gives an order, hundreds of spears of the military soldiers can all point to the southwest!"

"Okay, how difficult it is to build a country!" When Lu Hou saw Zhao Wuxi's initiative to invite Ying, he was overjoyed, but he was also vaguely worried that Wu Xie's troops would be no match for Robber Zhi.

"Doctor Zhao must have a strategy to calm the bandits? Can you tell me?" Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji squinted over, relying heavily but being wary. This is their attitude towards Wuxi.

"The chaos of the state of Lu is still uncertain. If the robber Zhi sits in the west and the south, it will be enough to disrupt the rule of the city. If the state of Lu is still plagued by robbery after the spring of next year, and the people of Qi send troops to attack the northern border of the state of Lu, then I will Waiting for the danger. Therefore, the group of thieves must be eliminated, and the city of Kan is related to the safety of the community, so it must be saved!"

"It is said that there are thousands of pirates, and Doctor Zhao has only a few hundred. How should we save them?" Mengsun Heji asked this question.

"The strength of the army does not depend on the number of soldiers. If you want to defeat the thieves in Kan City, you must first clear the Zhongdu, because from Lu City to Kan City, the Zhongdu is the only way to go. As long as the emperor approves, I will lead the military soldiers tonight. , it is expected that they will be able to reach the Central Capital in the future, and after the thieves who besieged the city are dispelled, this will be used as a base. At that time, the reinforcements and grains of Lucheng should be able to arrive one after another, and then send troops to the south to fight against the robbers and protect the country of Lu. Xianjun Mausoleum!"

"Okay, okay..." Lu Hou was already desperate, and he even said it himself. Now that Zhao Wuxi's words are reasonable and well-founded, it seems that the Ancestral Mausoleum can be saved, so his head is hot~www.mtlnovel. com~ Opening mouth is a series of empty promises.

"What do you need, Doctor Zhong, even if you say it, as long as it helps to break the bandits, as long as it can be done by the widow and the second minister, I will promise you!"

Ji Sunsi and Mengsun Heji trembled in their hearts. That's what they were afraid of. Don't look at this boy's youth, he speaks righteously and dignifiedly, but nothing will hurt you. If you help you one point, he will definitely get two points. . Now that Luhou was in a hurry, he helped them to make things right first, and it was really hard to bargain.

This is what Zhao Wuxi was waiting for: "You have no jokes, so are the two gentlemen? Then the minister boldly said..." (To be continued.)
