Spring and Autumn I Am King

Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

The Daxing Alliance in Huangchi Township is full of smog. After more than ten days of playing, playing, and singing, this big show finally stopped. The Jishui River outside the city, as the lords' vehicles and boats went away, regained its tranquility again.

This afternoon, the weather was refreshing and pleasant. A young man in uniform, holding a fishing rod, sat in a pile of weeds and rocks by the water. He seemed to be fishing. From time to time, his wrist flicked slightly, and the bait in the water also moved. After a while, the float made of goose feathers on the water surface sank, as if a fish was hooked.

But the literati didn't seem to come for the fish, and were indifferent to it. They still closed their eyes and seemed to fall asleep. They just sat quietly and motionless, so that the thin dragonfly also regarded him as a clay sculpture and woodcarving, and flew recklessly to the blue sky. Pause on the towel.

"Ziyu, Ziyu!" It wasn't until there was a call from the shore that the dragonfly flew away in panic, and the young man opened his eyes and took the fishing rod. The hook on the rod was actually straight...

"Ziyu, so you are here." It was a young man in Chinese clothing, fourteen or fifteen years old, who was very familiar with the young man.

After he approached, he pointed at the young man's straight hook and laughed: "You are fishing with a straight hook here again, do you want to learn from Taigongwang and catch a Zhou Wenwang?"

The young man smiled shyly, bowed to the young man, and said in a very slow speech rate: "Gentlemen don't make jokes, go to Yulu, dare not compare with Taigongwang, and the only bright master in this world is Huangchi, under his command. I have my own capable ministers and generals, and it is not useful to participate in dispatches. Sitting here idle, I just want to be righteous, sincere, and self-cultivation."

The young man's name was Zeng Shen, a native of Dongwu City in the State of Lu, and his father was Zeng Dian, the eldest disciple of Confucius. The young man who came to look for him was the eldest son of Zhao Hou Wuxi, Zhao Cao, the general of the Shogunate of Lu.

How did these two young people with different statuses come together?

Zeng Shen was born in the fifteenth year of King Zhou of Zhou and is now twenty-one years old. When he was young, he grew up with Zeng Dian in Zhongdu, and had a relationship with Zhao Wuxi who passed by. During his years in Zhongdu, he began to study poetry and calligraphy with his father. Although he was not as talented as Yan Hui and other geniuses, he was considered to be stupid and foolish, but he was very eager to learn.

When he was a little older, Zeng Dian followed Confucius to travel around the princes. Zeng Shen stayed at home to serve his mother. He worked **** the outskirts of Qufu. Once he was unable to return for ten days due to heavy rain and snow, thinking of his parents, he composed the song of Liangshan. It happened that Zhao Cao was traveling in the company of officials from the state of Lu, and when he saw this scene, he asked him to get in the car to avoid the rain and snow.

In the car that day, with a few words in the car, Zeng Shen left a deep impression on Zhao Cao. He was alone in the country of Lu, and he had no friends of his age, so he often called for banquets in the future. Attended the meeting.

After that, Zeng Dian returned to the country and asked Zeng Shen to serve Confucius for himself. Zeng Shen followed his father and left the state of Lu. He stayed in Yedi for several years. During this period, he worshipped Confucius as a teacher. He was diligent and eager to learn, and was quite a true Confucian. Until three years ago, because of Zeng Dian's death, he had paid homage to Confucius and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. When the period of filial piety was over, Zhao Cao called him to be a teacher of poetry and calligraphy.

Don't look at Zeng Can's youth, but his academic attainments are no less than that of Confucius' disciples. What's even more rare is that he grew up in the state of Lu under Zhao's rule. feel. He felt that the "cultivation of Qi and peace" that Zhao Wuxi said in Zhongdu was very kind, so he combined it with the teachings of Confucius and integrated it into "Eight Eyes", which is "to examine things, to know, to be honest, to be sincere, and to cultivate one's body." , order the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world".

"In ancient times, those who wished to understand the virtues of the world must first govern their country; those who wish to govern their country, first align their families; those who wish to regulate their families, first cultivate their bodies; those who wish to cultivate their bodies, first rectify their minds; those who wish to rectify their bodies first Those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first be sincere to their intentions; those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first lead to their knowledge. The realization of knowledge lies in examining things. After examining things, you will know, and then you will be sincere in your mind; The family is regulated, the family is regulated and then the state is governed, and the state is governed by then the world is peaceful.” Thus, this theory has been transformed from Zhao Wuxi’s personal aspirations to a complete set of feudal ethics and morality system by Zeng Shen.

This is the first combination of Confucianism and Zhao's learning. What's interesting is that as Zhao Wuxi's son, Zhao Cao is also very cold about this theory of Zhao Pi's Confucianism. Zeng's influence. The relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend. When there is something he can't understand, Zhao Cao often asks Zeng Shen for advice. This time, he also brought Zeng Shen to the Huangchi meeting.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the two of them are not people who talk a lot. Although Zeng Shen knew that Zhao Cao was summoned by Zhao Hou today, there must be something important, but since he didn't say it, he didn't ask. Zhao Cao also took the fishing rod from the attendant and sat not far away to accompany Zeng Shen to fish.

But because of something in his heart, Zhao Cao couldn't concentrate. As soon as the fish bit the bait, he lifted the fishing rod. He couldn't catch any fish. All the fish in the water were driven away.

"No more fishing!" Zhao Cao found that the things of the day had been bumping around in his chest, and he couldn't calm down at all, so he threw the fishing rod and told the attendant to walk away so that no one would come over.

He sat next to Zeng Shen and said to him with a serious look: "Ziyu, I have something to ask you, I hope you can share my worries for me."

Zeng San said: "Gentleman, please speak."

Zhao Cao thought about it for a while, not knowing where to start, and finally sighed: "My seal of the General of the State of Lu was taken away by my father!"

...

"what!?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao was Zeng Shen's steady temperament, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Since Zhao Wuxi stole the state affairs of the state of Lu more than ten years ago, in order to facilitate his speech, he set aside the Marquis of Lu and set up a shogunate. After that, the Zhao family shifted their focus back to the Jin state, but could not let go of the Lu state, so they let their eldest son Zhao Cao take over as the general of the Lu state, with Zhang Mengtan assisting him. This model has been very stable for ten years. Seeing that Zhao Cao will become an adult in a few years, why should Zhao Hou deprive him of this position?

Could it be that you want the first son or the younger son to do it? For Zhao Cao, this is too unfair! No wonder he was so restless.

"Who is the general of the Lu Kingdom?"

But Zhao Cao didn't have any resentment on his face, he just said: "There is a reason for this, my father announced that the state of Lu will abolish the shogunate and the post of general, and the state of Lu will no longer have a minister and will be replaced by Kan Zhi. Prime Minister Lu, the term of office is five years, and the rotation will expire..."

Zeng Shen may have understood, but there is still a question, that is, where will the eldest son of Zhao Hou put? It would still be a bit too much to just take away and not give it. Hugh said Zhao Cao, I am afraid that many people in Zhao and Lu countries will feel injustice for him.

"What about the gentleman?"

Zhao Cao smiled helplessly: "My father wants me to go to Langya."

It turned out that at the morning court meeting, Zhao Wuxi negotiated with Dong Anyu and Zhang Meng about one thing, that is, to add a high rank above the twelfth rank of Zhao State, called "Feng Jun" ".

Fengjun is a minister of the state of Zhao, and his status is equivalent to that of a county governor. He can act as a monarch locally, establish his own shogunate, and have relatively independent economic powers. But its territory is also the sacred and inseparable territory of the Zhao State.

As for Zhao Cao, he was named Lord of Langya to govern the former Ju kingdom. Its territory extends to Jiegen in the north, Yushan in the south, Quqiu in the west, and the sea in the east. With Langya as its capital, it is probably the coastal area of ​​the former state of Ju, and the hilly area west of the state of Ju is under the jurisdiction of Lu. jurisdiction.

Besides Zhao Cao, there are also three Fengjuns.

The Huaibei area, which was conquered two years ago, is divided into two parts. The west of Sishui is Xujun, and Zhaoyan is Xujun. Its territory starts from Sishui in the east, Caiguo in the west, Pi County in the north, Huaishui in the south, Zhongli and Shandao. The two fortresses were also under Xu's jurisdiction. However, Zhao Yan is only three years old, and it will be more than ten years before he becomes an adult. Although it was only a monarch within Zhao State rather than an independent prince, this was enough to make Xu Ren rejoiced, because Xu Cheng fought a big defeat, and Xu State's legacy in Zhao State became much less powerful.

To the east of Sishui is Donghai County, Zhao Guangde is Donghai Jun, and the capital is Zhongwu. Before, he contributed a lot in the military campaign to suppress Huaiyi, and he also had some prestige in the local area. Naturally, like Zhao Cao, Zhao Guangde also stepped down from the ruling position of Zou and handed over San Zhu.

With the merger of the State of Wei into the State of Zhao, Zhao Yi was no longer the minister of the State of Wei. Zhao Hou asked him to go to Shangluo in the west to fill the military vacancy after the Han family left. Because Shangluo is also called the Land of Shangyu, so Called "The Merchant". Its territory is the narrowest, only equivalent to two counties, with Sanchuan County in the east, Taihua Mountain in the north, Qin in the west, and Chu in the south. However, this is also the most promising monarch to expand the territory.

These are the four great monarchs of Zhao State, all of whom are the children of the Zhao clan, because the Marquis of Zhao has legally announced that the monarch will only be granted to the children of the same surname, and those with different surnames who are named monarchs will be attacked by Zhao ministers!

For Dong and You, Zhao Hou also has separate seals, but they are the county rulers, not the county rulers. The postal seals are not in Qiuyou County, Taiyuan County, and Lin Zhongshan Kingdom. Dong Anyu is sealed in Wudi County, Jibei County. Yan country.

After Zeng Shen finished listening, he pondered for a while and said, "In the past, Duke Zhou was a feudal son in order to shield Zhou. Today, Zhao Kingdom is also doing feudal affairs, but whether it is Feng Jun or County Jun, they are only arranged in the borderlands..."

Seeing that Zhao Cao was still worried, Zeng Shen knew what he was worried about, so he comforted him: "Gentleman, this is a happy event."

"Where does the joy come from?" Zhao Cao is puzzled ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The minister of the country of thousands of rides, and the little Fengjun of the desolate seaside, which is more important? Zhao Cao didn't know.

He is not attached to those powers that he has never actually mastered. He just grew up in Qufu and has feelings for it. He thought that he would stay in the country of Lu all the time, but his father suddenly changed him to a strange beach. Some are not happy.

Moreover, he was also somewhat unable to understand his father's intentions. Is this because he was dissatisfied with himself? Zhao Cao couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought that his character and hobbies could never satisfy his father. In fact, he was very envious of his two younger brothers.

Zeng Shen smiled and said: "Although Shen is stupid, he can see that this is the prelude to Zhao Hou's desire to transform the State of Lu from a foreign country into a county! Sanzhu was bound to be merged by the state of Zhao and razed to a county! In the name of feudalism, it was true that the country was reclaimed, and the uncle's method was really clever. Since then, the entire Central Plains have been almost connected, which is not a problem for Zhao state. Is it a happy event? And a gentleman can also become a minister of the state of Zhao again from a foreign minister. Father and son have relatives, and ruler and minister have righteousness. Isn’t it far better than before?”
