Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 922: Moving flowers and connecting trees (top

The thick black smoke from the new platform of the Empress Palace has ceased, and the tallest building in the past has completely collapsed, leaving only a pile of charred ruins. But under the rubble, there are sprouts unearthed in spring tenaciously stretching their bodies and absorbing sunlight. In summer, it will become a herb garden with moss and green tiles piled up and overgrown with weeds.

The order of Diqiu has been restored to normal. On the night of the fire at Diqiu, the Zhao army on both sides of Jin and Lu dispatched together, 5,000 from Hanoi and 5,000 from Yuncheng. They took military ships from Weiqu to Diqi Qiu, he soon occupied the two borders of the Wei Kingdom, and all the dangerous passes. The guards of Diqiu were completely replaced by Zhao Jun. The city had been under martial law for several days, killing and looting had been stopped. Those who dared to violate the ban were put in prisons. The prisons in Weiguo were already overcrowded.

According to the rules, the feudal lords were buried on five days, and the body of Weihou was buried on the same day, but there was no state funeral, but a thatched cottage was built in the palace. After fulfilling his ally's obligation to worship, Zhao Wuxi announced to everyone the nature of the Weiguo Rebellion: Shipu and other ministers coerced the people of the country, killing the monarch in a rebellion!

Regarding the Chinese people who participated in the rebellion, Zhao Wuxi said that he would not hold him accountable at all. It can be seen from the posthumous title "Gong Wei Wei" that he had given to Weihou Kuaifu, he was sure that the Chinese people would expel the faint-hearted ruler. The apprehensive Weiguo people felt relieved and began to forget the madness of those few days and resume their normal life.

But for Zhu Qing, Zhao Wuxi didn't plan to let it go easily.

"Shi Shi and others were locked in prison, and they kept saying that they were wronged. Why would the Zhao clan fight against them?"

Outside Diqiu City, in the large tent where Zhao's army was stationed, Zixia, who had been recruited as a close minister of Zhao Qing, glanced at Zhao Wuxi, who was sitting firmly in the case, and asked, "Shangqing, this is for the ministers of Wei State. The original words, how should I answer? See or not see?"

"What nonsense! When did I acquiesce to their monarchy?" Zhao Wuxi flatly denied this accusation.

He said to Zixia sternly and righteously: "You go and tell Shipu, and let him recall the deeds of his ancestor Shijing. When Gongzi Zhouyu and Shi Hou killed Duke Huan of Wei and set himself up, when they went to Chen State to recruit him, Shijing would Write a letter to tell Chen Guojun and his officials, saying that Weiguo is a small place, old and old, watching the murder of the king but doing nothing, now the two people who went to Chenguo are the murderers of the king, dare to take the opportunity to set up etiquette to deal with it. them……"

This story, Zixia knew that Chen Guoren was moved by Shi Jing, so he captured Zhou Yu and Shi Hou, and went to Wei to ask someone to deal with them. Wei sent You Zai to go and killed Zhou Yu in Pudi. Shi Jing also sent his retainers to kill his son Shi Hou in Chen State.

Zixia understood that what Zhao Shangqing meant was that in this Weiguo slaughtering monarchy, he was playing the role of Chen Guo.

So the question is, who will play "Shi Jing" in this incident?

Also, what should we do with this ancient feudal kingdom that has lasted for more than five hundred years?

Although there are still doubts in his heart, these matters are none of Zixia's business. In the more than a month that he came to Zhao Wuxi, he has already adapted to his work: classifying the memorials passed on from various counties, classifying the important ones. Put it on it, write an essay from time to time, and provide consultation when Zhao Wuxi needs it, that's all.

If the lord does not intend to consult, don't try to express yourself, this is the attitude of Zhao's internal affairs, each performs its own duties, dereliction of duty is not allowed, and it is not allowed to exceed power.

What Zixia needs to convey is Zhao Wuxi's treatment of Zhu Qing.

...

"The Shi clan committed treason to the country and murdered the monarch. The crime cannot be forgiven. Shipu was the leader of the rebellion.

"The Beigong clan first pretended to obey the monarch, then repeated rebellions and participated in the slaughter of the monarch.

"The Sun family, who killed the monarch from Shipu, was one of the masterminds of the rebellion. The head of the family, Sun Zhuang, beheaded the city and moved his family to the garrison of Mayi County in the Jin Kingdom."

"Uncle Tai, killed the king from Shipu, the master Taishu was killed in the city, and his family moved to the frontier of Jinguolou County."

"Gongshu's clan is an accomplice to the rebellion. Gongshumu is dead and his body is killed. The master of the family, Shushu, voluntarily surrendered, allowed him to hang himself, and moved his family to the border of Lin County, Jin State."

"Zhu Xia is intimate and cannot be abandoned. Rong and Di are wolves, and they cannot be hated. Ji's Rong Ren Hua Xia, the crime is unforgivable, Ji's clan was executed in the city, and his family was reduced to rogue slaves, and moved to the border of Julu County in the Jin Kingdom! "

One after another, these disposals made people tremble with fear. After being wiped out by Zhao Jun, the five noble clans of Wei State soon ushered in their doomsday...

"It's really fast and resolute, and it doesn't drag on the water at all. Now, when the six ministers of Wei Guo come, only the Kong family is left?"

Hearing these actions, Kong Yu's heart became colder and colder. After Zhao Wuxi picked up the Crown Prince of Wei, he asked Yan Gao to surround Kong's house.

"I don't know what reason Zhao Shangqing will judge me on, whether it is a car split, a slash in half, or a poisonous wine, a white silk, and a short sword, just like how Ji Sun was treated. I can choose? And the old man's clan, and Where will you go to the bitter cold in the north?"

Kong Yu smiled bitterly on the sickbed, his wife and children were already pale and panicked.

So when Zhao Wuxi sent someone to spread the news, the Kong family almost hanged themselves first...

When Zixia finished reading Zhao Wuxi's words, Kong Yu and his son looked incredulous.

"Zhao Shangqing...Want the old man to continue to be the ruler of Wei and assist the new king?"

...

"Shangqing, I still don't understand!" Just as the Kong family was celebrating the rest of his life after the disaster, Zhao Yi was a little indignant.

He said, "We have been planning for so long, and we have scrapped so many twists and turns. Is it just to change the monarch for Wei Guo and help them restore order?"

"What you said is not wrong." Zhao Wuxi tapped him with the tip of his pen: "The order of Wei is very important. Ziyin has been here for three years, so he should be able to tell the reason."

"It's nothing more than Weidi, Chuanyuan, plain and wide, roads in all directions, and places in Jin and Luchong..."

"Of course, the Zhao family is now considered a great family. If Yecheng in Hebei is a confidant, then Taiyuan is Zhao's right arm, covering Daidi and Shangjun in the north, and Tongjiao, Wei, and Han in the south. It is the left arm of the Zhao family. It holds the state of Qi on the top, and the state of Wu on the bottom. When the arm is bent, it covers the lords of Si Shang. Therefore, whether it is Taiyuan or Lu, the Zhao family cannot be lost. Jinyang is the territory managed by the three generations of the Zhao family. , I am not too worried about what the people want. If I am stationed in the country of Lu, it will be as stable as a rock, but I can't guarantee it if I am not there. Don't worry about maintaining it. I first sent my son Zhao Cao to be Lu Qing, leaving a group of capable ministers to assist, but I was still afraid that Lu Shi would become a big boss over time, so I asked Guangde to divide his power... My good intentions, you can clear?"

Zhao Yi no longer complained, and cupped his hands: "Understood, there must be a reason for any decision Shangqing makes." Although he is a small clan of Zhao, he has always been addicted to military struggles, and he is not the kind of person who thinks too much. Therefore, the Handan clan was destroyed, but their "Mashou clan" remained and was relied upon by Zhao Wuxi.

In the feudal patriarchal era, relatives of the same clan were also a powerful help, but we must learn to use them rationally. Zhao Wuxi does not care for waste, nor does he hope that in the future, the Zhao clan will decline and be replaced by retainers of different surnames. in front of you.

Therefore, for Zhao Yi and Zhao Guangde, the only two in the clan, he still cultivated them very carefully, and he should give appropriate rewards according to their merits, so that they can be a force to reach a balance with the ministers who came from scholars. Dissimilar opinions are mixed, this is also a kind of art of the south of the king.

Zhao Wuxi continued: "The construction of Wei Canal is to a large extent to shorten the distance between Jin and Lu, so the traffic between Hanoi and Ludi depends on Wei Canal. It's like a kite with a broken string, everything will lag behind, and it can't be done like an arm's finger... So Wei Guo must be stable, which is why I supported Kuai Kui and destroyed him with my own hands."

Kuai Xun, in the words of later generations, is a nerve knife. When he was diligently seeking to return to the country, he performed well, but once he ascended to a high position, he became complacent and began to become more and more crazy. Wu Xie was very worried about Wei Guo, so after receiving a warning that there might be a catastrophe this year, he came up with a plan to intervene in Wei Guo.

Rather than waiting for the turmoil in Wei to break out suddenly, overwhelming the Zhao family, it is better to add a fire and detonate it within Zhao Wuxi's control.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Since Wei Guo is so important, why doesn't my cousin annex it and turn it into a county? It's like destroying the country of the dynasty."

Wu Xie shook his head: "It's not that simple, Wei Guo is a great eastern country enfeoffed by Zong and Zhou, and has served as Hou Bo for a long time. It has been passed down for more than 500 years. Although it has declined several times, it has not been as good as before, but if it is rashly annexed, it will inevitably be Caused a violent reaction from the princes."

Originally, with Zhao's strength, it was not unreasonable to do this, but considering that this year's catastrophe was coming, Zhao Wuxi planned to take a safe route.

"What's more, although Uncle Wei Kang's legacy has been spent almost by the faint-hearted monarchs, the extremely xenophobic Wei people are not so easy to govern~lightnovelpub.net~ will inevitably consume a lot of Zhao's energy. Just as the people of Lu manage the State of Lu, they must use Wei to rule the Wei. Prince Noir, he is the orthodox successor, is the premise of the stability of the Wei State, and is young, timid, and easy to control. And Kong Yu, a man who is about to die , the descendants are incompetent, the clan is declining, but the victory is more trusted by the guards, and he is promoted again, just to decorate the new court of Wei."

"The new imperial court of Wei Guo?" Zhao Yi was a little puzzled.

"Yes, there are six ministers of Wei, and the five of them will be eliminated. The heads of the families will be killed, and the remaining children will also be moved to the border of Jin, and the official government of Wei will be empty. Since the old political politics no longer exists , just to arrange manpower to deepen Zhao's control over Wei, so that they can change from servants with a little freedom to pure puppets!"

Zhao Wuxi looked at Zhao Yi up and down and said with a smile, "Ziyin, after the war between the six ministers of Jin, I have always owed you a reward worthy of your credit. Although Wei is small, it is also a country of five hundred rides. , you have been stationed here for three years. You are familiar with the customs here, understand the mountains and rivers here, and stay in Wei as the second minister. How about leading the court? When the time comes to rule the country, Wei Guo will sacrifice to the monarch and rule by Zi Yin! Will this country of Uncle Wei Kang be completely transformed into the country of Zhao clan, are you interested?"
