Spring and Autumn I Am King

nightmare... nightmare...

On the first day of the first month of the first month in the 41st year of King Zhou’s reign (479 BC), the city of the King of Zhou was built. The outside of the palace was cold in winter, but the inside of the palace was very warm due to the existence of various charcoal fires and incense, and there was a morbid sweetness in the air. greasy. A frail old man was lying under the heavy quilt, sweating profusely from nightmares.

Beside his couch, the king's crown was neatly arranged, but it looked outdated.

His name is Yi, he is the king of the Zhou family, and he is the emperor who should be powerful.

However, the reality is as sour as bitter wine, the kingship has fallen, there are no loyal ministers in the world, and even himself is dying.

All this is thanks to those two!

In his life, there were two most terrifying enemies, one was Wang Zichao and the other was Zhao Wuxi. They tortured him like a nightmare all his life...

With the help of the temple people, he turned over with difficulty, and Zhou Wanglu fell into a drowsiness in pain again, and scenes of the past appeared in front of him.

...

nightmare... nightmare...

It was more than 40 years ago, in the spring of the spring season, on the shore of Luoshui, a banquet was being held within the royal family. At that time, he was just a very inconspicuous son of King Zhou Jing's many sons, sitting at the end of the table, obediently He pricked up his ears and listened to what his brothers had to say.

This banquet was held to celebrate Prince Meng's achievement of the crown. He was supposed to be the protagonist, but at this moment, Prince Meng could only be like the prince, blushing and clenching his fists, because their father's Eyes, never removed from that person.

Wang Zichao, the eldest son of King Zhou Jing, was born to be surrounded by the wind. But at the same time, he is also the object of common hatred by other princes, because Zichao is too dazzling, no matter where he goes, his words and deeds can steal the limelight of others. Compared with this phoenix, the weak prince Meng is like a The crow, and the prince is like a little sparrow.

This prince's fierce and crown banquet became a personal show for him to express his political views.

"A gentleman's marsh, beheaded by the fifth generation, and the descendants of the royal family who are ministers, also want to make the royal family humble because of their own selfish interests; and those scholars from Jimu, even if they have no blood relatives, in order to be reused, they are more capable of serving the royal family. It is used to manage politics and the people! "Poem" says: 'Yin Jian is not far away, after the Xia Dynasty.' Father Wang, Zhou can no longer continue because of the ancient system of 'respecting relatives and relatives' to cover up the hidden dangers of the royal family, which makes Cheng Zhou gradually Declining!"

These words are shocking to the conservative prince. However, his father, King Zhou Jing, is also an enterprising emperor. He admires the princely dynasty very much. , the idea of ​​establishing the princely dynasty as the monarch, but because of the opposition of domestic officials such as Shan and Liu, it has not been implemented.

The contradiction between the emperor and Qiangqing was growing in the dark. King Zhou Jing had already regarded Shan and Liu Erqing as the inexorable ministers who hindered him. It's a pity that his health has always been bad, and before he had time to attack, he died of heart disease after an earthquake.

The sudden and violent death of King Zhou Jing left Cheng Zhou with an unresolved throne, which triggered a great split in the royal family!

In June of that year, the Prince Chao and the Prince fought fiercely for the throne. Because the princely dynasty is deeply popular, it won the support of most scholars, Baigong, Lingwang and Jingwang clansmen, and soon assembled a large army to defeat Wang Shi.

King Mourning of Zhou ran away and rushed to Jin. In October, Jin doctors Jitan and Zhisong led an army to **** Mourning King back to the king's city, but they were soon surrounded by the prince's dynasty. In November, the timid and fearful King Mourning died in fear. The prince, who had always been a bystander, was supported by Liu and Shan to the throne. He reluctantly stood on the opposite side of the prince's dynasty... …

The war is continuing, and Chengzhou has been completely divided. Zhou Wanglu has only Liu, Shan and some nobles on his side, but the princes are supported by the lower class people. They have great advantages, but they can't swallow the enemy in one bite. The two sides faced each other in this way for several years. The prince dynasty occupied the capital of Zhou, while the king of Zhou retreated to Diquan. Di Quan was in the east of Wangcheng, and people called him the King of the East at that time.

There are no two days and no two people. At that time, King Zhou of Zhou hid in the city every day in fear and fear, for fear that one day he would be betrayed and killed by the princely court. Fortunately, the State of Jin was on the side of King Zhou. At the fifth year of the war, with the help of Zhisong and Zhao Yang, King Ye of Zhou finally drove the Prince Chao away and fled to Chu with his clan.

This victory was a bit unbelievable, and the mediocre King Zhou of Zhou couldn't even believe that he could defeat the princely dynasty that everyone thought was "the hope of the Zhou Dynasty." However, the King of Zhou was too happy, and although the Prince Chao fled, the Zhou family was still shrouded in his shadow after more than ten years. , conspired to welcome back the Zi Dynasty, and even planned several assassinations of King Zhou, Liu and Shan...

Zhou Wanglu still did not dare to step out of the palace. He was supposed to be the emperor who was favored by all the people, but he was always considered unorthodox. Until the spring of that year, the state of Chu was defeated by the state of Wu, and the country was almost destroyed.

Wang Zichao brought back his white head in a gift box in a gift box. After looking at it carefully, the king of Zhou determined that this wrinkled middle-aged man was his mighty brother.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you are the one who can make Lao Tzu's favor, and you have today!"

He laughed loudly, then withdrew his smile, pretending to be buried.

However, just as he and Liu and Shan Erqing were having a feast to get rid of the serious troubles of their confidants, Dan Pian, a member of the prince's dynasty, raised the banner of revenge for the Zichao and raised his army. For a time, the rotten Saturday division could not resist the angry people. Zhou Wanglu fled again in a hurry, and it was not until the following year that he returned to Chengzhou with the help of Jin.

After 20 years of tossing, the Zhou family became more and more decayed, and even the princes looked down on them. In addition, the people's livelihood was poor, and the emperor could not find any horses of the same coat color when traveling. But King Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. After spending a whole generation, the people of the Zhou family finally began to forget about the prince. After walking out of the shadow of that brother Rende, his life would be better, right?

However, in the year when the chaos of the prince's dynasty was completely pacified, I don't remember from whom, Zhou Wanglu first heard the name "Zhao Wuxi"...

...

nightmare... nightmare...

He also dreamed that the flag covered the sky and the sun, the enemy was like a cloud, the arrows were falling, and the ragged Chinese people came forward with broken weapons, trembling and trembling. The entire Chengzhou corpse was scattered all over the field, and he was walking on the vast wilderness, lonely and confused, the rumble of horses' hooves rumbled, and when he turned his head, a tall and divine horse had already roared. The top of the head is drawn...

In the second half of his life, King Zhou had just climbed out of the shadow of the prince's dynasty, but fell into fear of Zhao Wuxi again.

At first, he was just an inconspicuous exiled gentleman, hesitating between Song and Lu, and took the position of a town owner and a doctor. There are hundreds of town owners and doctors in this world, and the Zhou family paid little attention to him just because he was the youngest son of Zhao Yang.

Gradually, however, just as the whole day was standing still and crawling slowly according to the inertia of hundreds of years, the East has undergone earth-shaking changes.

What happened in those few years overwhelmed Zhou Wangluo. For a while, Yanghu was in chaos, and Zhao Wuxi and Sanhuan chased him away. After a while, the State of Qi attacked Lu, Zhao Yang rescued Lu, and Zhao's father and son defeated the Marquis of Qi. Unknowingly, a new force was quietly emerging on the border of Luwei. The Song Rebellion and the fall of the four capitals. Under the impetus of the current situation, Zhao Wuxi, the owner of the small town, succeeded in stealing Lu!

Although I feel that the people's hearts are not ancient, outsiders are in charge of the country's life, not the blessing of the Lu country. However, this is also a matter of the Zhou family. As early as three hundred years ago, the royal family could no longer control the crown prince position of the state of Lu. Now, is it legal to instruct Zhao Wuxi to be the minister of the state of Lu?

Closing his eyes, Zhou Wang continued to live his small days in the palace, but when he turned around, he was surprised to find that the Zhou family had unknowingly been involved in the civil war in Jin...

With the victory of the Zhao family in Hebei again and again, the civil war in Jin began to fall into an uncontrollable situation. The royal family was also dragged into the quagmire because of the marriage relationship between Liu Gong and the Fan family. Except for the edict condemning Zhao as a traitor to the Jin state, it had little influence on the direction of the war.

It was not until three years later that Zhao Wuxi, who had defeated a strong enemy and became the Shangqing of the Jin state, came to Mengjin and invited his teachers to ask for the crime.

Putting all the blame on Chang Hong, handing over many classics, ceding several cities and towns north of the Yellow River, and finally sending the killing **** away.

It was the first time since the Prince's Dynasty that Zhou Wangluo had been threatened so seriously. The blade of Zhao's family, gradually approached in the days to come, made him shiver and made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"The Zhao family is insatiable, aggressive, demanding, blaspheming ghosts and gods, slowly abandoning etiquette, and betraying the alliance!

Of course, a head-on confrontation is absolutely not dare, and Zhou Wang began to resort to the old routine of the past, secretly sending people to match the anti-Zhao alliances of various countries. However, Zhao Jun once again broke out from the siege, destroying Wei, defeating Qin, retreating to Chu, and breaking Zheng. In the face of their powerful forces, the royal family's small tactics were like a joke, and Zhou Wangyi could only promise Zhao to be listed as a prince. , to replace Jin.

Zhao Wuxi's wings have been completed, and after that, the idea of ​​confrontation is almost gone. Zhou Wanglu tried his best to please Zhao, and it was the emperor who bestowed Xun and went to Huangchi in person, and was elected for Zhao Wuxi. The lords and overlords are here...

I hoped that the State of Zhao could, like the State of Qi in those days, hold high the banner of respecting the king and oppose the barbarians and maintain the status of the royal family. However, at the banquet, the sentence Nanzi let people spread the word "Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, thousands of rides away from Beimang. "The prophecy made the King of Zhou terrified!

After returning from Huangchi, Zhou Wang was unwilling to eat and could not sleep at night. Later, he heard the news that Zhao State had annexed Wei, Lu, and Sanzhu, and destroyed Zhongshan.

A few months later, he was once again shocked to hear that Zhao Wuxi had defeated the Hu people in Saibei, and he was surrounded by various ministries and claimed to be the emperor outside the Great Wall.

"Marquis Zhao has always been a disobedient subject. He has been called the emperor outside the fortress. Is it still far from being a king in the Central Plains?" Zhou Wang was worried, and his condition was getting worse. quiet.

...

nightmare... nightmare...

This time, his dream was more real than in the past. He dreamed that Zhao Wuxi rode a war horse across Chengzhou Wangcheng, and did not dismount before the two towers. Instead, he trampled on the ancient palace and the solemn auspicious animal Kui patterns. , all the way to the deepest, most mysterious temple of civil and military...

The King of Zhou is here, waiting for him pitifully. Compared with the decayed and tired King of Zhou, the image of Zhao Hou in the dream is awe-inspiring. He is dressed in gorgeous black armor, and his eyes are ruthless and cruel. , with snowflakes on the fiery red cloak. The big cloak covered half of the horse's body, but it didn't prevent the beast from pulling a steaming hot stinky **** in the Temple of Civil and Martial Arts.

Zhao Wuxi didn't look at King Zhou, he looked at the nine tripods listed in the temple...

"The weight of the tripod..."

Zhou Wanglu heard Zhao Wuxi say this, and the corner of his mouth showed his signature smile, a smile that was determined to win.

"Can I ask if?"

...

"Ah! Ah! He's here, he's here!" When he woke up from the nightmare, Zhou Wang's eyes widened, his body trembled, and he shouted. Immediately, he found himself still lying on the bed. The quilt was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. With the help of the attendant, he straightened his breathing. A stench came from his lower body again, and the people in the monastery stopped him. face away.

He has been exhausted to the point of being unable to control his bowel movements~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is a common occurrence in recent months. The imperial doctor concluded that he will not survive this spring, and now his condition has worsened, and he is on the verge of dying.

It is really sad that the emperor has fallen to this point, but the king of Zhou did not let the temple people clean up for him. He didn't even care about giving himself a decent way to die. His hand said word by word:

"After Bugu's death, you need to follow the rules, listen to the words of Liu and Shan Ergong, form a good relationship with Zhao State, and satisfy the demands of the Duke of Zhao. Sir!"

The old tears flowed, and the king of Zhou could not cry, but he burst into laughter while crying.

He could finally be freed from the two nightmares in the first half of his life and the second half of his life. Looking back at this time, he was happiest when he was still a concubine prince who was never in the eyes of his father.

At three quarters on the first day of the first month of the first month of the forty-one year of King Zhou's death, the Son of Heaven collapsed.

At the same time, there were also rumbling horses' hooves on Beimang Mountain lying on the north side of Luoyang...
