Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 447: confrontation

PS: It's a bit late today, sorry, there is another chapter in half an hour

"Doctor Xuju does not rescue disasters and epidemics, but believes in the words of ghosts and witches, and sacrifices lustful gods with living people, which has violated the taboo of etiquette! Besides, he also tried to obstruct Doctor Bian Que from saving people, so he was expelled by angry Chinese people. I It was just a public discussion held at the Hao Society, and the events of that day were witnessed by thousands of people. The kid has already said it once in the letter, does it mean that he did not understand enough? Then I will repeat it again.

"Wait a minute!"

Confucius coughed lightly and stopped Zhao Wuxi's words: "Xiao Sikou's letter is very wonderful, Qiu has watched it several times, and he can even recite the whole text. Whoever did it has no success? Not to mention the human sacrifice, I have already asked the emperor to ask for it. , expressly prohibiting the sacrifice of living people in this barbarian ritual in the state of Lu."

"Do you want to prohibit the use of human sacrifices in Quanlu!?" Not only Zhao Wuxi, but everyone present was a little surprised.

Confucius stroked his tendrils and said, "Of course, I'm ashamed to say that this should have been a matter of course for the Duke of Zhou's kingdom, but we can only see rabbits and dogs after the fact, and hope it's not too late."

Ji Sunsi's face twitched slightly. The State of Lu has never advocated the use of human sacrifices, although there were always some doctors in various places who secretly practiced it because of the legacy of the barbarians. But when it comes to public sacrifice, it was his father, Ji Pingzi, who made trouble twenty years ago. Confucius wanted to ban this increasingly common practice. Although many people would complain secretly, no one dared to speak out. .

After all, the public opinion is so violent that no one can bear it.

The problem is that in this way, the monarch has one more "benevolent governance": with the help of Confucius, the Marquis of Lu has become increasingly powerful recently, and he has regained a lot of power by taking advantage of the three Huan's inability to unify his attitude. But now Ji Sunsi can't care about the wall, because of their own lack of courage, only Confucius dares to stand in the field to argue with Zhao's father and son, to fight for the rights and interests of Lu State, what he says and what can only be left to chance .

Wu Xie was dumbfounded by Confucius' decisive decision to forbid human sacrifice. This is another great way to turn passive into active. He originally wanted to suggest Luhou to implement it in the near future, and used it to gain the hearts of the common people in the state of Lu, but Confucius took the lead. Sometimes it is difficult to entangle, really can not be underestimated.

However, he heard Confucius continue to attack: "Therefore, this matter is indeed because the doctor violated the Zhou etiquette, but he is of the Duke clan of the State of Lu, and he is a middle-level doctor of the same rank as Xiao Sikou. It should have been reported to the three ministers and the It's up to the emperor to deal with it. Xiao Sikou has insulted him at his own opinion, which is really unethical."

Zhao Wuxi couldn't care about his relationship with Confucius, and he couldn't care less about the future. Fortunately, none of the Confucius disciples among his retainers were present, so he avoided embarrassment, so he pretended to be ashamed and smiled shyly: "What the Master taught is , the boy is arrogant, Doctor Xuju killed the successor I sent to help with the epidemic, and only did this in a moment of anger..."

When Confucius saw Wu Xie suddenly softened, he was relieved. Just about to habitually continue to preach one or two, who knows!

"But I don't regret it!"

Zhao Wucheng said sternly: "If the doctor kills the envoys of Sikou, he has already regarded the etiquette and law of the state of Lu as nothing, and he regards my Zhao's prestige as nothing. Those who violate Zhao's family will be punished even if they are expensive, and he should be expelled. After the tyrannical lord left, more than 20,000 people have been treated by magpies. Now the epidemic has stopped spreading, and they will recover soon. Master doesn't think this is a good thing?"

Zhao Wuxi has repeatedly stated that he is morally correct!

Confucius knew this, but he stood on the side of the interests of the Marquis of Lu and the State of Lu, but he had to maintain the dignity of order!

After a subtle and imperceptible sigh: "This is the virtue of a little gentleman. But how to deal with the aftermath has to be considered."

Zhao Wuxi glanced at Zhao Yang and sighed inwardly, arguing directly with Confucius, this was not the best way for him to resolve the matter. But it was Zhao Yang's favorite way, and now he can only say sorry to Confucius, his identity as the son of the Zhao family. Also decided today's position!

At this moment, Zhao Yang, who had been impatient for a long time, suddenly spoke up, full of threats: "Then let's talk about the aftermath, although Yu is an outsider in the State of Lu, I must say that it is between Qi and Lu, and the position is important. It is related to the overall situation of Jin Qi, so I will bluntly say that the doctor must never return!"

Confucius had just won a draw with his son, but the father himself appeared on the stage. He couldn't help but feel dry: "Why?"

"Which family has no relatives who died of the epidemic? This crime has now been attributed to Dr. Xuju. He was able to walk away with Zhao Bing maintaining order at the time. If he was forced to return, how many people would he have to bring to stop him? The anger of 20,000 people? At that time, the people's anger will be like a raging flood that bursts the embankment. Without the support of Zhao's soldiers, Da Zongbo can guarantee the safety of Doctor Xuju? If there is chaos in Xuju, it may lead to Qi people entering the bandits again. Who can take responsibility for this? ?more importantly……"

Zhao Yang took the case directly: "Doctor Xuju once sold grain to the people of Qi, which ruined my son's strategy of clearing the wall and clearing the field. If he were in Jin, he would have been slaughtered in the ancestral temple. I can't allow this person to retort!"

Ji Sunsi and Shusun Zhou were so frightened that they hurriedly stood up to plead guilty, and winked at Confucius, telling him not to dwell on this matter anymore, and it would not be too late to say everything after Zhao Qing left!

Confucius said indifferently: "Qiu, as the great Zongbo, also has the right to manage the crime of the clan's rudeness. He has already made a request to the emperor to remove him from his post as a high-ranking official. Naturally, he will not return to Xuju. But countries have their own divisions, and fields are There are borders, and the doctor's field is also limited. What we need to discuss today is when the soldiers of the Zhao family will leave after the epidemic disappears, so that the new doctor can take office."

Zhao Yang frowned: "The new Doctor Xuju? My son has been running around for half a year for Lu, pacifying pirates, defeating Qi's army, and saving the disease. With such great merit, shouldn't Xuju be awarded as a reward?"

"The military affairs of the border towns of our country are related to the Jin state, so it is not uncommon for the middle military officer to intervene.

Zhao Yang was furious, but Confucius' words were neither humble nor arrogant, so he couldn't find anything wrong.

Zhao Wuxi quickly stepped forward to comfort Zhao Yang softly, and listened to what Confucius would say next.

As such, it was his turn to play again.

But I saw that Confucius first said about the reward and then said something else: "Little Sikou has great merit, but the reward and punishment comes from the emperor, not the choice of the ministers. When King Wu attacked the merchants and the Duke of Zhou settled the four directions, who would not want to stay in the West? Or go to a fertile place to enjoy happiness, but when the feudal state was founded, didn’t they obey orders one by one and scattered all over the world? The same is true today. And give the land to be the leader!"

...

Ji Yi?

Jiyi is now a land without a doctor, and Jizai directly belongs to the Marquis of Lu. Now that Zhao Wuxi's tentacles have expanded to Xuju, the more recent Yiyi is naturally no problem. As one of the most advanced cities in Xilu, Jizai has secretly pledged allegiance to him, and he still needs to wait for Luhou to come. seal up?

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wu Xie could only bow down and take the book that Confucius took out at this time, but he thought about it in his heart.

It wasn't that he got Longwang Shu, but that the city of Ji was already in his hands, and the Marquis of Lu only admitted it as a name. What's more, the small people in Jiyi City are less than one-third of Xuju's, and the geographical location is not as important as Xuju. Once missing, it will not be able to achieve Wuxi's goal of connecting the northern border of Xilu into a line of defense.

The reason why the counterattack against Qi was so successful this time was partly due to proper strategy and partly due to sheer luck. If Zhao Yang left with the main force, Zhao Wuxi would not be able to integrate enough combat power in a short period of time. He only needed the Chen clan to take the clan soldiers to go sightseeing. As long as the Qi people were more cautious, Xilu would still be difficult to resist.

There is a sharp sword hanging over his head, so Zhao Wuxi doesn't care about how ugly he looks!

"Then, dare to ask who the new Doctor Xuju is? Yiyi and Xuju are adjacent to each other, and the kid will have to get along well with them in the future."

He sneered in his heart, one doctor is expelled, two doctors are also expelled, if the new doctor can't come according to the meaning of no mercy, it will also be expelled! His hair-cutting sacrifice was not for the purpose of being a good man. This incident left a deep impression on the Xuju people. Wu Xie has established prestige among them. Set off a stormy sea!

But seeing Confucius showing the kind of smile on the portraits of later generations again makes you feel that this old man is very interesting and very cordial, but he can't help but feel awe.

"It's the middle doctor Liu Xiaji!"

...

"It's still a chess game to lose after all." When he heard Liu Xiaji's name, Zhao Wuxi closed his eyes and sighed silently in his heart.

Ordinary doctors, even the public clan, Zhao Wuxi is sure to incite the Xuju people who have recognized him as a "Xian Sikou" to start a riot of the Chinese people.

But only Liu will not be able to do it next season.

Not to mention that Zhao Wuxi has a good relationship with this real good man. He is also a scholar-bureaucrat in Lu who is second only to Confucius. The legacy of the ancestor Liu Xiahui has been passed down to this day. If the people of any lord encounter him, they can only clap their hands. To be quick, Wu Xie can at best encourage those chivalrous youths to do some nasty things to drive him away.

But in that case, the means will inevitably be too unbearable, and once exposed, it will affect the reputation in the hearts of the people of Lu. What's more, he has already determined that the brotherhood between Robber Zhi and Liu Xiaji is still there. Maybe the Huze robber turned his head in a rage, and the loss outweighed the loss.

In a word, Liu Xia Ji Ruolai was ruthless and rational, and could not do too much to him.

Today's Confucius is probably going all out, and his various performances are amazing, and he actually came up with such a coup.

He was helpless but also full of fighting spirit.

I haven't felt this way for a long time. The last time, perhaps after hearing the name of Zhiyao at Xinjiang's big shooting ceremony, I didn't expect to meet this lifelong enemy, so I ran to the country of Lu.

But his experience here is also wonderful!

Yanghu, Thief Zhi, Qihou, Chen clan...

And Confucius, who thought that he might be able to live in peace and chat and laugh...

Unknowingly, Zhao Wuxi's attitude towards Confucius changed from being out of reach in Jin to looking forward to this "sage" in history; when he first saw him, he was like a spring breeze, but he couldn't get rid of the concept of his previous life.

Until now, Wu Xie and Confucius are standing in the field, although he is not as tall as him, but Xin wants to compete...

He thought to himself: "It coincides with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is only by confronting these sages who have influenced China for thousands of years to appear happy..."

Because, he is not without countermeasures! (To be continued.)
