To be listed as a noble family is the dream of every doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhao Yi naturally would not refuse this great gift from Zhao Wuxi, and immediately agreed to it.

But he also knew that Wei Guo was a mess. Wei Hou Kuai Tu's rebellious actions had left a huge scar on the country. After all the ministers were swept away, their children fled and arrested, and most of them were forced to go to Zhao's. Border guard.

This kind of measure is necessary, just like Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, moved the six kingdoms to enrich Guanzhong, and Han Wudi moved the Guandong heroes to enrich the Mausoleum. It is a technique of strong and weak branches. Each of these noble families has a thousand or two thousand people, which will increase the population of the empty Zhao's border county and bring advanced production technology and culture. Facing the border troops and the dangerous environment, they can only be deprived of power. Survive under the protection of Zhao Jun.

Zhao Yi was worried that there was no one in the Weiguo government for a while, whether he could be qualified for this position without much political experience, and whether he could help Zhao to stabilize Weiguo.

"Don't worry, I will leave 5,000 troops to help you defend the country. Sufficient force is the best way to suppress those who refuse to obey. I will also send some scholars and officials from Jinlu who are familiar with the situation of defending the country to help you. , for example, Kan Zhi, you can be cited as Huonggu, and Gao Chai, who can be an officer in Wei State, and the scholars of Wei State in Linzhang Academy, it is time to show what they have learned. In addition, every month 50,000 shi of grain was brought in from the state of Lu, plus God Qiu's stockpile, it should be enough to last you until the autumn harvest."

In addition to supplementing Zhao Yi's staff and ensuring that the administration of Wei Guo would not be paralyzed, he had to prepare food for him, so that he could maintain the food problem of the garrison and the guards, and pay salaries to the officials of Wei Guo.

However, the Changping position in Hanoi cannot be moved, so it can only be replenished from the Lu country.

Zhao Wuxi pointed out Zhao Yi: "Diqiu can rely on these outsiders to move flowers and join trees, but in the cities and towns of Wei, you can only temporarily rely on local doctors and dignitaries for indirect rule. Fortunately, the five ministers are destroyed. , Weiguo has vacated a large number of unowned fields, you can grant these fields to the landless Weiguo poor to cultivate, they will become the first group of people to support Zhao's, and insert a root among the xenophobic Weiguo land snakes. A nail, when the time is ripe in a few years, you can change the city into a county, and add the rule over the place."

"You also have to thank Kuai Xue. His heavy tax collection has reached the level of forcing the people to hand over half of the harvest. If it is reduced to one-fifth first, the people will definitely be grateful. Anyway, the Wei Canal has also been repaired, and some reductions will be made appropriately. With hard labor, the heart of the guards can be settled."

Seeing Zhao Yi write them down one by one, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help sighing, this cousin can lead the army, but he is only a middle-aged person in government. In fact, Ruo Zigong had to maintain his rule in the state of Cao, and it might be more appropriate for him to come back to manage the state of Wei, but now, Zhao Yi can only bite the bullet.

Who let his subordinates be able to stand on their own, basically all the chaotic ministers, thieves and careerists with a bad reputation in history?

Let Yanghu, Buddha, and Wang Sunsheng come to guard the land? It's scary to think about, these tigers are better kept under the nose.

Zhao Yi was not ambitious and did not have much political experience, so it would be better for him to be in charge of military affairs in Weiguo, and for government affairs to be handled by the cronies who were airborne by Zhao Wuxi. In short, we must restore order in Weiguo as soon as possible, and urge the people to go down to the fields for spring ploughing. There may be disasters this year, and Weiguo is likely to be affected. How much can we plant?

And Zhao Wuxi had to make a trip to the east. In the past few days, there was a big event there...

…

It has been more than ten days since the chaos in Diqiu. As Zhao Wuxi left by boat, Zhao soldiers outside Kong Yu's mansion also retreated one after another. The people inside came out tremblingly like mice for the rest of their lives after the great earthquake. The new king succeeded, and Kong Yu was re-appointed as the ruler. They were temporarily safe.

However, Zi Lu, the hero who saved the Kong family that night, chose to end his relationship with Kong Yu at this time, pack up his bags and leave.

Kong's father and son tried to keep them to no avail, so they had to give money to say goodbye. In the end, it was his pair of apprentice brothers, Yan Gao and Gao Chai, who sent Zilu out of the city.

"Zi Lu, do you really want to leave Wei?" Gao Chai felt that it was a pity. Zi Lu had done a good job in Puyi for the past three years. Now that the Kong family has survived the chaos, if Zi Lu stayed, he would definitely be relied upon by them.

"Zigao." Zilu pointed at Zhao Zun who was patrolling the road and smiled at him: "Is this still Weiguo? In my opinion, it is no different from Zhao's prefectures and counties. At most, it is the same as Luguo. To keep a monarch surnamed Ji as a puppet, and to follow the rule of the Zhao clan, and the master refuses to serve as Zhao, I’d better go back to him.”

On the second day when Kong Yu was in power, Zhao Wuxi forcibly elected Zhao Yi, who had done a great job in suppressing rebellions in the turmoil, as the second minister of Wei Guo on the grounds that there were too few ministers in Wei Guo! The Zhao clan openly encroached on the Weiguo court, but the guards were powerless to oppose it, and even secretly rejoiced that the Zhao clan did not destroy the Weiguo 500-year-old society.

Yan Gao and Gao Chai were naturally aware of these things. Both of them were ministers to the Zhao family, and their faces felt a little feverish for a while.

Zi Lu didn't deliberately bury them. He passed it before. Unlike Yuan Xian and others, he just took care of himself and wouldn't wave the moral stick to force others to make the same choice.

"As a matter of fact, I owe Zijiao and Zhao Shangqing a life for this turmoil in Wei." Before leaving, he solemnly said to the two of them, "Zilu has one sword and one sword, as long as Zhao Shangqing drives him, Zilu will surely die happily. But if you want me to stay as Zhao Shangqing's eagle dog, forgive me for not being able to do it for the time being, so don't persuade the two of you any more."

Seeing that Zilu saw through their intentions, Yan Gao and Gao Chai looked at each other and sighed. They stopped persuading and just accompanied Zilu to the south gate of Wei.

After the ban was lifted, the streets of Diqiu became crowded again. Just as the three tried to pass through the crowd of people entering the city, they suddenly heard the sound of bells and drums.

They looked up and listened, wondering what the bell meant this time.

The last time Zhao Jun entered the city, the bells and drums kept ringing, but this time, it was just beating next to the market.

"I'm going to kill Zhu Qing!" Someone shouted, and the guards of Diqiu began to move towards the market, wanting to see what was going on.

The three of Zilu looked at each other and walked over there. By the time they reached the center of the city’s southern city, the crowd was already rubbing shoulders and crowded.

Shi, Taishu, Gongshu, Beigong, Sun, the five imperial clans in the former Wei Kingdom, except Gongshushu who was "tolerated a lot" by Zhao Wuxi and allowed to hang himself, the other four all stand here. On the other hand, there is a Zhao soldier on the left and right.

The onlookers were still discussing heatedly, but when the executioner came up with the torture tool, they were silent, and some even sighed: "Do you really want to kill?"

These are all invincible ministers, born nobles, and the oldest Shi clan, originated from the grandson of Wei Jingbo, more than 200 years ago. The rest of the Taishu clan and the Sun clan have a history of one or two hundred years, and even the Beigong clan with the least seniority has lasted for more than a hundred years...

This is the so-called Shiqing Shilu, that is to say, since the grandfather of the grandfather of the grandfather of the Weiguo people, Zhuqing has been at the peak of Weiguo's power, overlooking all living beings, and has never fallen. But today, they have been reduced to prisoners, and they have become fish on the sword.

The Wei State Secretary Kou Taishuji was the first to be killed. As an accomplice, he was sentenced to be executed by Zhao's magistrate. Luban's invention came in handy again: the guillotine.

The knife of the guillotine is trapezoidal in shape, with an oblique blade, weighing about 40 pounds, and the wooden support is 20 feet high. When Tai Shuji was pressed and tied up, he raised his head to say something, but the executioner pulled the rope, the blade fell, and quickly cut off his neck. After rolling his head twice, he closed his eyes.

The people watching took a deep breath. Everything happened so fast that they didn't even react.

But when it was Bei Gongxi's turn, they would have time to see the cruelty of the punishment.

Bei Gongxi was originally a party of Wei Hou, and was attracted by him as a confidant, but when Wei Gong was not safe, he decisively chose to open the door against the water and lead Zhu Qing in, so he was sentenced to death...

Wan Ren added his body, and the shrill voices could not be heard. He only had time to struggle a few times before being chopped to pieces.

Next was Sun Zhuang, the head of the Sun family. As one of the masterminds, he was sentenced to be beheaded in half.

Everyone still remembers that it was seven years ago when Zhao Qi was fighting in full swing, when Yang Sheng, the son of Qi State, was beheaded in Yuncheng, causing a huge shock to the world. Buried in the dust of history.

Today, Sun Zhuang's death was not as neat. After his waist and abdomen were cut off by the guillotine, his upper body was still able to move.

The last person who was brought up was the first evil stone garden, and he was sentenced to the most cruel car crack...

Chacha, also known as "Zhu", was used by the monarchs of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period when heavier punishments were imposed on those chaotic thieves who committed monarchy. In 694 BC, the state of Qi "Lu Gaoqu Mi"; in 598 BC, the state of Chu attacked the state of Chen and killed Xia Zhengshu of Chen Linggong "the Limen of Lu"; Four times".

If it wasn't for Zhao Wuxi's change of history, Chang Hong would not be sitting firmly in the Linzhang Academy as a big sacrificial wine, playing musical instruments every day, and watching the stars at night. …

Shi Pu witnessed the deaths of three of his accomplices, but when it was his turn, he was still calm, and he struggled a few times when his hands and feet were tied to the rope rings connected to the horse.

The magistrate of the Zhao family was reading out his guilt, and then the whip twitched, the horse was in pain, and pulled in different directions, which could tear a person's body into five pieces.

The pain, starting from the constant tearing, rattled Shipu's bones, his face twisted and painful.

"I have seen the new station turned to ashes in the flames!"

"I will also watch Uncle Wei Kang's ancestral temple being torn down in Huangquan!"

"Not ten years!"

With the last of his strength, he shouted frantically: "The Five Hundred Years of Weiguo Sheji!"

"I will also die with the Shi family!"

The next moment, the limbs were broken, blood was dripping all over the floor, and the belly of the white flower was flowing out from the torn belly.

Including the uncle who had hanged himself, the patriarchs of the five great noble clans in the state of Wei actually ended like this.

Not only them, but Zilu, who had already anticipated all this, including Yan Gao, who knew the result in advance, was also shocked.

If it was said that the death of Young Master Yang Sheng seven years ago was just a piece of tile falling from the building of the noble etiquette, then today the five ministers went to Huangquan together, but it was the five pillars that fell to the ground in the hall.

Perhaps just like what Shipu cursed before his death, Wei Guo's Sheji will also be on the verge of collapse, and it can't hold back now, but Zhao Wuxi just doesn't want them to fall so quickly. Wei Guociqing took over the temple.

At this time, there were already people who couldn't stand it any longer, covering their mouths and leaving one after another. Many of them also participated in the turmoil and followed Zhu Qing to besiege Wei Hou. Now that Zhu Qing was killed, they were spared by Zhao Wuxi. To investigate further, can not help but secretly rejoice. But the blood-stained guillotine will always stand in the center of the market, so that everyone who passes by will not forget what happened today, and make them feel in awe.

Reverence for the new imperial court of Wei.

Zi Lu also walked out with the crowd silently. For some reason, when he saw Wu Qing's death, he was not full of fear and happiness like other people, but felt a little joy...

Although he followed the Master's request to study ritual, music, and benevolence and righteousness, his poor background and his repeated failures in his career over the past 20 years made him hostile and dissatisfied with most of the nobles.

"Meat eaters are contemptible!" This is the voice of every poor Wei Lu.

Therefore, when he saw the fall of the Sanhuan of the Lu State and the destruction of the five great imperial clans of the Wei State, he was not as worried as his master, and was heartbroken because of the "destruction of rituals and music". Instead, he thought in his heart that they deserved it.

"It's just a change of soup instead of medicine..." he said to himself, going to Wuqing and then to Zhaoqing, the nobles are still those nobles, and the government is still the same government.

But is there really no change? Zilu remembered what happened in the state of Lu. At least there, the poor people and commoners who had been despised by the Sanhuan began to enter the imperial court one after another and entered the house.

"If you study well, you will be an official." Zi Lu's younger brother, Zi Zhang, a man of Chen State, said this sentence has become a fact in Lu State. Although what those people learned was not all rituals, music, benevolence, and righteousness, but also Deng Xi's techniques of punishment and name, and even farming, a hundred craftsmanship, and arithmetic, which were "little ways" in the eyes of Confucius. What happened next in the Wei Kingdom was just a copy of the Lu Kingdom in the past ten years.

In this case, UU reading www. The old ritual and music of uukanshu.com collapsed, and it wasn't all a bad thing, was it? At least, under the rule of the Zhao family, these poor people like us are more likely to get ahead than before.

Zi Lu shook his head to dispel such bad thoughts. He knew that he could no longer think about it, otherwise, the purpose of his life for the past 20 years would collapse. He quickened his pace and walked towards the southwest. Zilu was going to Yexian County of Chu State, returned to the Master, and told him what happened in Wei State. He would tell him that the shadow cast by the Zhao family shrouded another country, and there were fewer and fewer places for their Confucian disciples to go.

Zhong You walked in a hurry, and the one who passed him on the road was an old man who was busy with dust and dust. He came from the south, with bamboo sticks, awning shoes, and a long sword on his belt. Standing under the rising sun, his shadow was drawn very long. long. He was looking at Weiqu, who was constantly on the boat, nodding, as if he could see something from the faces of the soldiers and merchants who were in a hurry...

After a while, Sun Wu smiled.

"It's better to come early than coincidence, the Zhao family is in the east, there is a war..."
