In the spring of the eleventh year of the Lu Hou Song Dynasty, the drastic changes that occurred in the Lu Kingdom in the past few months have already spread to the princes. After Meng Sun He Ji ran to Qi, Qi Hou of course played the image of the warm-hearted Uncle Dongfang. ☆→, x. In front of the envoys of Zheng, Wei, and Beiyan, he angrily denounced Zhao Wuxi as a traitor who seized power and seized power. Jiuu was heartbroken. Back to justice.

In the imagination of the Marquis of Qi, the doctors of Lu State must be full of anger and dissatisfaction with Zhao Wuxi's dictatorship. As long as the troops of Qi's army approach Lu, the Lu people will definitely take the pot of pulp to welcome the friendly army.

But the reality is cruel. Several of his small-scale trials at the southern foot of Mount Tai ended in failure. Zhao Wuxi deployed a full two and a half divisions on the border of Qilu, guarding Jiagu, Yangguan and other dangerous places. take.

Qi Hou was unwilling, thinking about whether to break his promise and recruit the people of the capital to attack Lu again. Now that the spring is blooming, the tragedy of the winter of the previous year should not be repeated, and Chen is also instigating it.

But he soon ran out of time to take care of Zhao Wuxi. It turned out that the Zhao clan was ordered by the Marquis of Jin to order the Handan clan to attack and defend in order to avenge the betrayal of Wei. The Handan clan was under the pressure of Junming and the Zhao clan suzerain, and could only attack it hard. Because the king and grandson Jia was in Puyang, Mi Zixia, who had low combat power, was defeated by the Handan clan, and the Zhao clan's banner was actually planted outside the west gate of Puyang.

So Weihou repeatedly asked Qi for emergency, Qihou could only transfer the army that was going to attack Lu to Weiguo to help defend the defenders, and then the Wenxian soldiers and Handan soldiers retreated to the west of the Dahe.

So the people of Lu country spent a peaceful February, spring ploughing began one after another, the county system reform went smoothly, and the doctors in the five counties of Xilu began to pack the treasury. Take your family and retainers to the East. They will no longer complain, Zhao Wuxi is trying to appease these doctors who have helped him. All kinds of high-ranking positions in the court were placed on their heads at no cost.

What little Sima, little Siko. Little Zongbo, Young Master, Young Master, Young Insurance, etc... This greatly satisfies the vanity of the doctors, but these once prominent positions now have no real power, just a false name.

Because Lu Guo has a new institution in the past few days: the shogunate.

Zhao Wuxi was already a minister and had the right to open a government and establish a family. Therefore, in addition to the official office of the imperial court, the State of Lu had another administrative agency, that is, the shogunate of the Great General. According to Zhao Wuxi's explanation. "Mu" means the tent of the army, and "fu" refers to the treasury where troops, armor and goods are released. The government is the government, and the marching army is the curtain. The general is authorized by the monarch to rule the Lu country.

The old aristocrats in Qufu have become numb, and Zhao Wuxi's new policy has sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and their opposition is ineffective. Just close your eyes and accept it.

Only Liu Xiaji was displeased and went to Confucius' house again to complain to his old friend.

"Zhao Wuxi kept saying that this was to imitate the government of Zhou Gong, so that the monarch could govern under the arch, but the efficiency of various government offices was low. It should be abolished and abolished, and it should be merged and merged. He will recruit talents in the shogunate and hand over state affairs to them. That's enough. It's ridiculous! This not only leaves the doctor with nothing to do, but also turns the monarch into a virtual position! Zhongni. What do you think?"

Confucius didn't get too angry, he just commented lightly: "I don't have a gu. What a huh? Zhao Zitai is doing this in the name of Zhou Li, and he is arrogant."

The goblets are not like goblets, is this also a goblet? In the thought of Confucius, Zhou Li is fundamentally unchangeable, from well fields to punishment, from music to wine utensils, everything stipulated in Zhou Li is perfect, even sacred and inviolable.

He did not object to Zhao Wuxi's implementation of the county system, but this so-called shogunate rule was unacceptable to him.

It's a pity that you can sit and talk about the Tao, but you can't get up and govern. Although it's hard to accept, you can only see it and don't worry about it.

He sighed: "Originally, I thought that the change of Qi could lead to Lu and the change of Lu to Dao, but now the country of Lu has become unrecognizable to me, go away, go away! My Dao is not good, Lu I'm sorry, I can go far."

"Zhongni, are you leaving?" Liu Xiaji wanted to keep him, but when he thought about it, even his powers had been overridden by the so-called shogunate officials. what?

He waved his hands weakly and said, "Let's go, let's go, if it wasn't for me being a prince, I wouldn't worry about the monarch, I would also go to the country with you, but where are you going?"

"The world is so big, where can't you go? I have heard that China is disrespectful, asking the four barbarians, and even the ritual and music of the Duke of Zhou's capital has collapsed. Where in this world is there any remaining primitive etiquette? Perhaps the most remote four barbarians There is only land... I will first go to the Jiuyi land in the east and live for some time."

The so-called Jiuyi refers to the small state established by the barbarians such as Zhu, Ju, Tan, etc. Compared with the State of Lu, it is really too remote and far away, Liu Xiaji frowned and said: "It's not good to go where, Jiuyi is lonely, Why live with it?"

Confucius said with a smile: "A gentleman lives here, what's wrong with it? I plan to go to Zhuanyu first, to pay homage to Dongmeng Mountain, and then go to Jizhang City on the coast of Juguo. It is rumored that the people there are honest and knowledgeable. You can take a look at it. Then I went to the state of Zhu, the prince of the state of Zhu was eager to learn, and had people come to ask me about the etiquette of marriage and marriage. I have many disciples in Zoucheng, and I can go to them when I have nothing to eat..."

Looking at Confucius, whose ambition was blocked in the State of Lu, but still smiling, Liu Xiaji was relieved. That's right, this is the Zhong Ni he knew. It seems that he has come out of the Fallen Four Capitals, and he began to face himself squarely. failure, and accepted it.

But will he lose his fortitude and perseverance? Liu Xiaji didn't know.

"I don't dare to claim to know the destiny anymore. When I'm sixty years old, I only hope to be able to cultivate my body to the highest level, and to hear the words that are offensive to my ears. It doesn't matter even if the whole world is scolding, this is my ear..."

As he parted, Confucius patted his old friend on the shoulder and said earnestly, "If you still want to last in Lu, you should do the same..."

...

Moral gentlemen are filled with righteous indignation. In fact, in the eyes of most Lu people, isn't this so-called shogunate just a name change for the retainer system?

There were hundreds of retainers with distinct ranks and different powers in the Zhao clan's shogunate. They were not within the imperial establishment and were only responsible to the generals. Although not too high a title, retainers can be delegated to hold important positions. This is like in the past Yanghu was only the chief of the Ji clan, but when he went out to fight on behalf of the Ji clan and managed the government, the doctor of the state of Lu had to bow his head and obey orders.

"Zhao Zitai's move is to formalize the 'sacrificing to the widow, and the government to the Ning'..."

Han Hu was not disappointed. He stayed in the state of Lu for more than three months without wasting any money. In his view and the conspiracy master Duan Gui, this shogunate system can be traced back to Zong Zhou's system of commanders, and it has strengthened the current Qing Dynasty. The vassal system of the doctor only turned the state of Lu, which was originally governed by the three ministers, into the one-word hall of the general Zhao Wuxi.

Han Hu pondered: "Since Zhao Wuxi took over in Qufu, Lu's imperial office has gradually been overthrown, and now it has completely lost power. At least in the area where the county is established, it is completely ruled by the shogunate."

Duan Gui added: "The doctors in the east are also not free. They need to keep their direct sons and daughters in Yuncheng, and their concubines or daughters in Qufu. During festivals, they also come to Qufu to pay homage to the monarch, and then go to Yuncheng to meet the generals. The attendant explained that, except for the Meng family, no one was spared. In this way, although the doctors can still be independent in the territory, they will not dare to be rebellious."

"The doctors of Xilu are better treated. They have retained their residences, ancestral temples, and Tang Mu Xiaoyi in the five counties of Xilu, and they can also obtain high-ranking positions. Unfortunately, it is a false title, and it is just Zhao Zitai's trick to win over."

The two discussed in the hall until late at night, when Han Hucai sighed: "If Zhao Zitai continues to implement Lu's capital system, Lu will still be unable to get rid of poverty and weakness; The doctors rebelled and colluded with foreign countries to invade Lu, and if he was not careful, everything would be destroyed in one go..."

"But on the one hand, we set up a county in the west, and on the other hand, we kept the city doctor in the east. Finally, a shogunate was set up to coordinate the whole of Lu, and it was terrifying. I don't know if he came up with it himself. It was his idea that Meng Tan came up with..."

Duan Gui was also awe-inspiring. Before entering Lu, he heard Han Hu praise Zhang Mengtan many times, saying that he was the smartest person in Pangong back then. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to admire it.

"Gentleman, it seems that if the people of Qi do not interfere with all their strength, Zhao Zitai's position in the state of Lu will probably be unshakable. With time, he will be able to integrate all of Lu and intervene in the battle of the six emperors in the state of Jin..."

This is like the already powerful Zhao clan becoming two, and even if it is destroyed within the Jin state, there is also a "Dong Zhao" in the Lu state that continues, and it is almost invincible.

Han Hu nodded and said: "Of course, the Zhao family cannot be an enemy, but a friend. After returning to Jin, I will tell my grandfather what I have seen and heard in the past few months, and I must consolidate the relationship with the Zhao family. In-laws and friendship."

He laughed at himself: "I used to joke that Wei Ju had to imitate the Zhao clan in everything, but now it seems that he is right, and I, the Han clan, have to follow suit, at least recruiting talents, training clan soldiers is a must! "

Duan Gui is very ashamed~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Wuxi has today with the help of Zhang Mengtan, and he has been with a gentleman for a year, but he has not had any praiseworthy suggestions. It is really ashamed.

Thinking of what Han Hu said about deepening his relationship with the Zhao family, he suddenly had an idea and came up with an idea: "Gentleman, I heard that the Zhao family has a female name Ji Ying, and now she is nearly nineteen years old. According to the etiquette, a woman is twenty Marrying, she has reached the age of marriage. It is rumored that this woman is extremely beautiful and is the best in Jin. Sister Tai, a gentleman might as well ask the military sergeant to propose marriage to the Zhao family. If you can marry Ji Ying, then the Zhao and Han families will have another layer of in-laws in addition to Bolu and Junnu! The relationship between the two families can last forever!"

Han Hu touched his needless chin and thought about it seriously.

Her own sister Han Ji has a arrogant temperament and does not know the general situation. After marrying Bo Lu, not only did she fail to bring Zhao Han closer, but she caused a lot of embarrassment. , can only be topped by oneself!

He nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Ziju, this matter can be considered. If it can bring Han's relationship with Dongxi Erzhao closer, I will remember you as a great contribution!" (To be continued.)
