Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

The mainstream forces are different in each period.

Warlords during the Republic of China, Eight Banners during the Qing Dynasty, scholars during the Song and Ming Dynasties, and families from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the end of the Han Dynasty.

In their time, these forces all held the mainstream voice.

These people are the upper class of their time.

These forces all have the same characteristics, that is, they are close to power.

China has been an official and power-based society from ancient times to the present. These forces have become mainstream because they are close to power.

Before the Shang Dynasty, China was still in the era of slavery, and slave owners were the mainstream.

By the Zhou Dynasty, China changed from slavery to feudalism, and the mainstream changed from slave owner to aristocrat.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the rituals and music were broken, the classes were lost, and the reforms of various countries restricted the power of the nobles. From then on, the world changed from the aristocratic era to the era of "scholars".

"Shi" means scholars and officials, representing knowledgeable people, Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, Shang Yang and Zhang Yi, all of whom are from this class.

But the centipede insect will die without being stiff.

Without a thorough revolution, the aristocratic forces still existed, even the Qin State, which had the most thorough reforms.

The Qin State's government was always controlled by four forces.

First of all, the military was the military. Qin State was awarded titles for its military merits. The military was the most powerful force, mainly composed of the Montessus, the Wang family and the Zhao family.

The second is the political party. Before Wang Guanlan entered Qin, the military and political affairs of Qin were not very different, but since Mr. Guanlan took office, the rise of the political party has a clear dividing line with the military.

Then came the Lao Qin clan.

Since Qin Xiangong issued the order to recruit talents, foreign talents from all walks of life have entered Qin one after another. While strengthening Qin, it has also squeezed the sphere of influence of the old Qin people.

The old Qin people spontaneously picked up the group and formed a force that cannot be ignored.

Finally, there are the nobles.

The nobles here refer to the royal family and the harem.

The royal family is the direct line of the King of Qin, and now they are the descendants of King Xiaowen of Qin. They each have little influence, but together, they can still fight against Zichu, who has not yet settled in the throne.

Zichu was not loved by King Xiaowen. In addition to the help of Lu Buwei, what is more important is the support of Mrs. Huayang in the harem.

The harems in the Warring States Period were completely different from those of the so-called Fourth Master and Eighth Master in later generations.

The struggle pattern of the harem during this period was very large, and the struggle was never about favor, but about power.

The concubines of this period were for their homeland, for their descendants, and for their family, country and the world.

They were struggling in the harem, which affected the rise and fall of a country.

Thanks to Mi Bazi's blessing, the Qin harem is now the world of the Chu party, and the Han party and Zhao party are suppressed and breathless.

The current core of the Chu Party is Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang has no offspring. In order to gain throne, Qin Yiren changed his name from Yiren to Zichu, which is also to win the support of Mrs. Huayang.

With the support and cooperation of Mrs. Huayang, Zichu finally ascended the throne.

However, ascending the throne was just the beginning. Qin State was a group of wolves. If the king of Qin State wanted to sit firmly, he had to transform into the wolf king and lead Qin State up and down to hunt and eat meat.

If the king of Qin cannot lead Qin to eat meat, then the king will be eaten by Qin and will not even be left with bones!

It has been more than two months since King Xiaowen of Qin passed away, and it has been more than two months since Zichu ascended the throne.

After two months of taking office, the King of Qin only issued two edicts, one was to dismiss the prime minister and the other was to appoint Lu Buwei.

The most fundamental purpose of these two edicts is to test the court officials, and to arouse the court officials' opposition, so as to explore the bottom line of the court officials, so as to achieve the purpose of seizing power.

However, what the King of Qin did not expect was that there was no voice of opposition in the court, and both military and political affairs were silent.

Even the most joyful old Qin people who were jumping around in the past were quiet.

The important officials in the court made a daily schedule and followed the law without any confusion.

The court officials were silent, and the King of Qin could not sit still. He could not find out the court officials' ideas and no strategy.

Helplessly, the King of Qin had to come to the scene in person and win over the court officials one by one.

But what the King of Qin never thought was that no matter what promise the King of Qin made, no important officials in the court made, and the situation would be serious.

Although the Warring States Period was an era of power fraud, it was mostly power fraud between countries, and people were still very kind.

Especially during Shang Yang's reform, he used the city gate to build a wood to win the trust of the people. Since then, Qin State can definitely be regarded as a promise of a thousand gold.

What is the Qin king without the support of the court officials? Not to mention that the court officials are loyal to Qin, what Zichu wants is the Qin king whose court officials are loyal to him.

For him, it was a great humiliation for the court officials to be loyal to Qin and not to him.

At this time, the King of Qin issued the third edict since he ascended the throne.

All the Zhao family members of the Ying surname were ordered to enter the palace to have a banquet and discuss national affairs together!

......

In Zhao Guowu Mansion, Xiang Shaolong was wearing a warrior uniform and holding a bronze sword, and walked towards the hall under Tao Fang's leadership.

Wu Mansion is very large, with corridors and alleys, twists and turns, like a maze.

The mansion was built by Zhao Mu, and the complex structure was to prevent assassination.

But such a complex house could not save his life and ended up with incomplete corpses.

"...Since the fall of the traitor Zhao Mu, this place has been given to the master by the king and has become the Wu family mansion!"

While leading the way, Tao Fang introduced the situation in the mansion to Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong had a gloomy face, listening intentionally or unintentionally. He was still worried about Tingfang's affairs, but he still felt depressed.

"good!"

"Miss' swordsmanship is really amazing!"

"Even the coach's swordsmanship is not bad, he is worthy of being the young master Hongying!"

As the two walked through a martial arts training ground, cheers came from the ground.

Xiang Shaolong looked along the sound.

A girl with double ten is wearing a blue and pink brocade dress with vermilion peonies embroidered on her clothes. Her hair is dotted with lotus and green beads and hairpins, and she looks like a beautiful woman.

The most commendable thing is the figure of this woman, she is slim and plump, tall and unaware of the abruptness, convex and graceful!

My daughter smiled before she could speak, and a prune vortex floated on her pink cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth, and she looked at her eyes and shining.

"The young master's swordsman's swordsmanship has improved again!"

Lian Jin held the golden light sword in his hand, and swung his wrist and danced a gorgeous sword flower. He sent it back with his own hands. The sword body was accurately sent back to the scabbard and smiled humbly:

"Miss Tingfang praised it. She is still far from it. However, the lady's swordsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite!"

Wu Tingfang smiled sweetly, and returned to the sword into the sheath. He took the cloth scarf held by the maid and handed it to Lian Jin, shook his head and said:

"How can my little tricks be able to reach the elegance of the world?"

Lian Jin took the cloth towel, wiped the sweat on his head, and calmed down his breath. He turned his head and saw Tao Fang and Xiang Shaolong standing aside, walked up to bow.

"Mr. Tao has courtesy, who is this guy?"

Wu Tingfang also saw the two of them, felt Xiang Shaolong's gaze, frowned, then disappeared, walked forward, bowed with a smile.

"Mr. Tao, how can you have free time today?"

When Tao Fang saw the two of them coming forward, he did not dare to neglect them. He quickly replied, and looked at Xiang Shaolong to introduce them to them:

"This is Xiang Shaolong. Thanks to Shaolong who stepped forward and blocked the enemy with fifty people, we were fortunate to escape the thief's poisonous hands. The master specially held a banquet for Shaolong tonight and asked me to come and lead the way!"

Wu Tingfang's face turned solemn when she heard this, bowed to Xiang Shaolong and said in a sweet voice:

"So Is the Zun Jiao Shaolong? I thanked Zun Jiao for the Wu family!"

Seeing this, Xiang Shaolong was a little uncomfortable and quickly bowed to Wu Tingfang.

"This lady doesn't have to do this. I have to take money and eliminate disasters with others. I will naturally do my best. Besides, it is because Manager Tao has trust, so I can have room for my performance!"

As soon as Xiang Shaolong said that, Lian Jin's brows slightly condensed and he glanced at Xiang Shaolong.

Tao Fang is absolutely called a high-ranking and powerful person in the Wu family. Most of the ordinary people are called Mr. Tao. Even if he is called Mr. Tao, he is called Mr. Tao. Not everyone can call him General Manager Tao.

Wu Tingfang and Tao Fang naturally would not notice what Lian Jin could find, but both of them were scheming people and their faces did not change at all.

After Tao Fang introduced Xiang Shaolong, he began to introduce Lian Jin and Wu Tingfang to him.

"Shaolong, this heroic young master is the number one swordsman in Zhao State, and the young master Hongying Lian Jin!

Young Master Lian is the chief instructor of my Wu Family Swordsmanship. The fifty warriors who were cut off the back with Shaolong that day were all taught by Teacher Lian!”

When Xiang Shaolong heard this, he hurriedly bowed his fists and said with a guilty look on his face.

"Even brothers! When we blocked the enemy's back, the brothers supported each other, so I was able to survive by chance. Later, I was dispersed by the thieves. I don't know they..."

Lian Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly:

"Fifty brothers, four of them are back. Brother Xiang doesn't have to feel guilty. We have received the gift of Wu, so we will naturally die for Wu. Life and death are destined to be with no other people. They have never blamed Brother Xiang!"

Even Jin's words were unspeakable, but there was a hint of ease in the heaviness.

Wu treats these people quite generously, and all kinds of pensions and rewards are enough for them to live a prosperous life.

Seeing this, Tao Fang was slightly silent and then continued to introduce:

"This is the pearl of my Wu family. Wu Tingfang, Shaolong, although the lady is a female, she is definitely the best in the world. If I can be as good as today, my Wu family will make a great contribution to the planning of my Wu family!"

When Xiang Shaolong heard this, he suddenly looked up and murmured:

"Tingfang..."

Wu Tingfang frowned and looked at Tao Fang with a sharp look.

Tao Fang noticed the lady's gaze, hurriedly bowed and left with Xiang Shaolong.

At this time, Wu Tingfang was a treasure from the Wu family.

Three years ago, Wu Tingfang began to intervene in family affairs.

In just three years, the Wu family became one of the best families in Zhao State, with wealth and power.

Moreover, her subordinates also have a mysterious armed force, which makes everyone very afraid.

In Zhao State now, who doesn’t know the name of the Wu family Tingfang?

Wu Tingfang, the Qin widow Qing, and the Gu Yue country Ji Yanran, these three people are called the three talented women and are admired by the people of the world.

Even King Zhao had thought about Wu Tingfang.

Unfortunately, at this time, Wu Tingfang had already surpassed the influence of the family, and Wu's family could only persuade her and could not make a decision for her.

Wu Tingfang didn't want to do it, and no one dared to force him.

The people who came forcing were all put into the coffin by a group of strange men in black and carried away staggeredly. After resisting, they never showed up again, and they did not know life or death.

Tao Fangke was unwilling to cause Xiang Shaolong, which made the lady's bad intention.

Xiang Shaolong is a talent, but it depends on who he compares with.

Anyway, in Tao Fang's heart, Xiang Shaolong is not as good as the lady.

If anyone can compare with the lady, at least he must be both civil and military, and the best in the world!

Xiang Shaolong?

It’s better to take a shower and go to bed!
