Spring and Autumn I Am King

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

"No matter what kind of humiliation he suffers, Bugu will go to Yecheng to satisfy Zhao Wuxi, so that the Zhao family will have no excuse to attack Chu next year and the year after, and let the country of Chu pass through this critical period."

Xiong Zhang remembered that he said so after Zhong Ziqi rewarded himself with Zhao Wuxi's great desire of "king the world and facing Qin Chu".

The young monarch of the state of Chu, he is willing to sacrifice himself for the country and go to the cold north to attend the ceremony of Zhao Wuxi's replacement of Zhou, just to make the country continue.

Before heading north, Xiong Zhang said goodbye to Ye Gong, and he made a great determination, saying to Ye Gong, "Bugu's visit to Ye this time will not exceed the number of days it takes to meet at the court, plus the round-trip time. One hundred days. Within one hundred days, if Bugu has not returned, please ask Ye Gong to choose a successor from the imperial court of Chu State. The delusion of coercion!"

The wind was faint, the Jianghan soup was soupy, and the people of Chu in Yingdu all wore plain clothes and plain crowns to see off Xiong Zhang, Zhong Ziqi drummed, Ye Gong and the subjects of Chu State all sang sad songs of Chu, and the people of Chu were weeping... …

With the feeling of being gone forever, Xiong Zhang was still waiting for the car to go north. In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, he came to Yecheng with carefully selected tributes. The Da Honglu of Zhao State received him and led the way. He met Zhao Wuxi.

On December 31st, in the Weiyang Palace, Xiong Zhang saw this overlord of the Central Plains, who "would bury millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles when he was angry."

More than ten steps away, Zhao Wuxi sat high on the top and asked, "From Jilian, the people of Chu have a history of nearly a thousand years, right?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wuxi also asked people to take out the "Book of the World", and Xiao read and pointed out the lineage of the Chu State with interest.

The Chu State is a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, and also an ancient tribe in the Central Plains, with Zhu Rong as the ancestor. When he arrived at the Shang Dynasty, he was conquered by merchants, and Ji Lian was forced to move south to Jingshan, so he got the name of Jingchu.

"Fighting against Yin Wu, fighting against Jing and Chu. She entered its obstacles, and traveled to Jing. There are interceptions and Tang Sun's clues." In sum, in the whole Yin and Shang times, although the Chu people were weak, they never yielded. , In order to fight against Yin and Shang, their ancestor Vend Xiong also took refuge with King Wen of Zhou. Because of this origin, when King Cheng of Zhou was able to be listed as a vassal, but only the "Child of Chu" of the barbarian state.

At the meeting of Zhou Cheng and Wang Qiyang, the first generation of Chu Zi Xiong Yi could only guard the fire of the alliance with Rong Di, and did not participate in the official alliance.

That was the most humble and humiliating moment for the people of Chu, but after that, they knew their shame and braved it, and started the road to the road of power in the mountains and forests.

After only a hundred years, the Chu State, which was already a powerful state in the south, caused King Zhao of Zhou, who came to conquer, to not resume his southern expedition, and died in Jianghan, avenging the humiliation of the Qiyang meeting that year.

When he arrived at Xiongqu, it was even more remarkable. Not only did he overrule the title of king, he also named three sons as kings to show his confrontation with Zhou.

Since then, the slogans of "Disobedience to Zhou" and "I am a barbarian!" have been shouted out from the people of Chu State, and they are officially called kings. The concubines of Hanyang, with a radius of thousands of miles, are like a new southern court that rivals the Zhou Dynasty. Even the first-generation hegemon, Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Yiwu, the famous minister, couldn't hold back their rising momentum, and the meeting of Zhaoling came to an abrupt end. After killing Duke Xiang of Song, the power of Chu State has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, reaching the Yellow River...

If Duke Wen of Jin and the State of Jin had not been born, I would have been afraid that the State of Chu would have already succeeded in its aspirations, entered Luoyang, revolutionized Zhou's life, and established a new dynasty...

Although the Battle of Chengpu was defeated, the Chu State did not hurt its bones. After that, the Chu State was even more unbearable, and it was also the illustrious southern hegemony. Although the people of Wu are confidants, they can invade Yingdu, but they cannot conquer the state of Chu, let alone make the people of Chu bow their heads and show weakness.

It is different now. Four hundred years have passed since the meeting of Qiyang. Besides King Wen of Zhou and King Cheng of Zhou, Zhao Wuxi was the first person who forced the people of Chu to bow their heads...

"He must be very proud! Didn't I come to the north just to show the people in the Central Plains that his martial arts skills, Zhao Wuxi, have far surpassed Qi Huan, Jinwen, and even Yin Wu Zhouzhao? How powerful, can you force Chu to remove the king? No., self-proclaimed minister, come to the Hajj to see you!"

Facing Zhao Wuxi's playful smile, Xiong Zhang hated and was ashamed, but under the roof, how could he not bow his head? Now that the Zhao clan has unified the Central Plains and captured half of the mountains and rivers of the Chu country within three months, he can only bow his head, crawl under his feet, and present the original tribute of the Chu country with both hands: He clan jade, Suihouhou Zhu, and Bao Mao whom Zhao Wuxi called for.

After the meeting, He's jade was taken away by the people of Weiyang Palace. Zhao Wuxi said that he would let skilled craftsmen carve the jade into a jade seal as a treasure to pass on to the country. And a few Suihou beads should have been distributed to the lady in the palace, but Zhao Wuxi said that this thing "may have radiation", which makes people hide in the treasury and are not allowed to approach.

After the difficult meeting was finally over, Xiong Zhang and other princes who came to meet Zhao Wuxi attended the banquet. However, at the banquet, he was told again that his business was not over yet. Tomorrow, the first day of the first day of Zhengdan Day, Zhao Wuxi will be enthroned as the new emperor, and he has to play an important role in the venue...

"What, let me shrink the wine on stage?"

...

Baomao is a kind of thatch in the south, also called Jingmao, which is rich in the vicinity of Jingshan Mountain. This kind of thing is a traditional tribute of Chu State, mainly used for the sacrifice of shrinking wine. There are many impurities in rice wine, so it is turbid. It is rude and insincere to use this kind of wine to worship gods or ancestors. Wine becomes sacrificial wine...

When Duke Huan of Qi united the princes to attack the people of Chu, one of the two reasons for the indictment was that the people of Chu did not pay tribute to Zhou Tianzi, and Zhou Tianzi "couldn't shrink the wine".

This kind of thing was originally done by Wu Zhu or a court official, but now Zhao Wuxi named Xiong Zhang to do it, as if he was a vassal.

This is a very humiliating practice, Xiong Zhang is reluctant, and wants to shirk on the grounds that this kind of thing is not in line with etiquette.

Zhao Wuchun smiled but didn't say anything, only winked, his ceremonial official Xihua said sarcastically: "Sixty years ago, Chu Junzhao (King Chu Kang) died, Lu Xianggong went to Yingdu to attend the funeral, when Chu Junzhao (King Kang of Chu) died The country, relying on its own strength, forced Duke Xiang of Lu to wear mourning clothes for the Lord of Chu as a courtier. That would be in line with etiquette? Since the Duke of Chu is willing to submit to the Zhao clan, he will officially become a vassal of the king from tomorrow. What's wrong with that?"

Xiong Zhang is also a man of hot-blooded Fang Gang. Hearing this, he almost slammed into the office, but fortunately, the Yue Guo Shangqing Wenzhong around him stopped him.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess..." Wen Zhong wrote this in the palm of Xiong Zhang's palm with wine, and then he persuaded the angry Xiong Zhang to sit down and reluctantly agreed to the matter.

Zhao Wuxi's ministers snickered in their hearts, and even the princes and monarchs of the Central Plains gloated over the misfortune. This was the great victory of the Central Plains over Chu for hundreds of years, and it was also a trophy that Zhao Wuxi used to show off his martial arts.

So, the next day, even if 10,000 people were unwilling, Chu Hou Xiongzhang could only have a gloomy face, holding the local specialty Mao Bao he brought, and under the guidance of Gong Xihua, he went to the newly built Weiyang Palace." Temple of Heaven" walked away.

...

This "Temple of Heaven" was originally a mound used by Xia, Shang and Zhou to worship the heaven.

The Temple of Heaven has three floors, with a total of 9,981 steps, which are paved with mugwort bluestone. The columns of white jade surround the mound. The surface of each floor is divided into inner and outer circles. The multiples of 1 extend outward in turn, and the other multiples use multiples of nine to symbolize the number of days.

At the outermost periphery of the Temple of Heaven, flags are fluttering. Yan chin and tiger head, burly and vigorous, with vertebrae and crowns, Yulin guards guarded them with bows and spears. Zhao's clansmen, ministers, generals, and even the vassals, vassals, monarchs, and barbarian envoys, all dressed in solemn dresses, gathered into a larger circle, eagerly watching everything on the Temple of Heaven, the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant and peaceful. Depressed, but beneath it hides a touch of excitement.

On the first floor of the Temple of Heaven, there are nine large tripods representing the rivers and mountains of Jiuzhou. After staying in Luoyang, Yuzhou for hundreds of years, they finally returned to the land of Jizhou where Yin Ruins and Xia Ruins are located...

The second floor is where the wine utensils used for sacrifice are placed, decorated with red yin feathers.

The name is Shrinking Wine. In fact, he only needs to make some gestures, and the rest will naturally be done by someone arranged by Zhao Wuxi. In the past few days, Xiong Zhang's every move has been monitored, and he has no chance to secretly poison...

After finally finishing his work, Xiong Zhang could finally step aside.

At this time, the protagonist and supporting roles of today's drama finally came. When he turned around, Xiong Zhang saw a character even more unlucky than him on the steps: the last emperor of Zhou.

...

Since King Zhou Jing died four years ago and Zhou's crown prince was demoted, Zhou was divided into the territories of the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou. The new emperor was a puppet, Xiong Zhang couldn't even remember his name, and no one cared about it.

The fate of the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has been doomed since he was supported to succeed him: he exists to accompany Zhao Wuxi to complete the ceremony of making the destiny easier today!

Today, this young man of the same age as Xiong Zhang has a gloomy complexion, no beads on his crown, eight-colored court clothes, and a large Guiyang on his waist. He trembled to the third floor of the Temple of Heaven, knelt down on the hard ground, and began to tell Haotian the fact that "Zhou De has exhausted".

"In the past, King Wen was ordered, King Wu conquered Yin, became King Jing Sifang, King Kang settled the people, and built his mother and younger brother to screen the Zhou Dynasty. However, as for King Yi and King Li, the country's power declined, and the princes took control of the government. Although King Xuan Zhongxing was later, Cheng Kangzhi The governance cannot be restored, the disaster of Mount Li, the death of King You, thanks to the power of the princes, the King of Ping moved eastward to Luoyi, but the world has been in a state of disorder. Since then, the king has lost the world, the world has lost the king, and Zhou has not been able to protect China. Nanman and Beidi invaded, and China was inexhaustible. After that, the lords fought hard, and the uncle was prosperous, but Zhou was unable to control it. The chaos of the Zichao, the fight between the rats of the Zhou family, and the chaos... The throne passed to Yu Xiaozi, and the situation worsened. Heaven is above, Zhou’s virtue is exhausted, the world cannot be peaceful, Kyushu is on the verge of subversion and collapse, the people of Haotian God, in the heat of water, blame Haotian for bringing down a new King Ming to save…”

After finishing his lines, the last Zhou Tianzi stepped aside, his eyes, Xiong Zhang's eyes, the eyes of everyone around the Temple of Heaven, were placed on the protagonist of today:

Zhao Wuxi's car had been parked under the Temple of Heaven. Six blue horses, according to the ritual system of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, decorated the car cover with black feathers.

After getting out of the car, a brand new Zhao Wuxi appeared in front of everyone.

Today, he is dressed solemnly, wearing a large fur and crown, with sun, moon and dragon patterns on the shoulders of the mysterious clothes; stars and mountain patterns on the back; fire, Chinese insects, and Zongyi patterns on the sleeves. The clothes are woven with algae, powdered rice, scorpion, and scorpion. The so-called "twelve coats of arms" are the clothes of the emperor, each with its own meaning.

Wearing the sword "Tai A" presented by the state of Chu, step by step, like a tiger climbing a mountain, Zhao Wuxi walked towards the top of the Temple of Heaven.

It was also a coincidence that yesterday was still rainy and rainy. Today, the New Year's Day is auspicious, and the sky is beautiful. It is a clear blue and sunny weather.

Zhao Wuxi showed a smile.

It's a perfect place to witness the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one!

...

Before that, Zhao Wuxi had also hesitated about how to end the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Tianzi's rule has been like a dead tree that has been withered for hundreds of years. However, in terms of means, he still has to think carefully. Zhao Wuxi knows that his current status is like the first emperor. Any decision he makes is a first-of-its-kind move in China, and it is the object of imitation by later generations.

In ancient China, the Ding Revolution of the Yi Dynasty was nothing more than the two patterns of extortion and punishment and meditation. Legend has it that Yao, Shun, and Yu were conceited, while Shang Tang and Zhou Wu were the revolutionaries!

However, after careful research, Zhao Wuyi found out that the chanting thing is not reliable at all.

Before the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the state had not yet been formed, and the so-called renunciation of Yao and Shun was probably the military democracy in the tribal alliance. In fact, many historical records of the vassal states recorded that Shun imprisoned Yao and seized his position, and was exiled by Yu in his later years. This shows that the replacement of Yao and Shun in Tang Dynasty was still violent. The so-called renunciation is just the imagination of Mohism and Confucianism in the Warring States period of ancient times. In the Han Dynasty, after the vigorous promotion of Han Confucianism, Yao and Shun renunciation became popular.

Therefore, unless Zhao Wuxi wants to endorse this unreliable replacement model, the only way in front of him is the Tang Wu Revolution...

To blame the Lord of Zhou, to overthrow Zhou's society, and all of it... It sounds pretty good, but it's not that simple.

Although Zhao Wushi was born with the Ying surname of the Zhao family and was a descendant of the Yin and Shang officials who were dismissed by the Zhou people, he was different from Nanzi who always advocated that the disasters suffered by the Yin and Shang people should be returned to the descendants of the Zhou people. No interest in revenge.

"Yin is due to Xia Li, and the profit and loss can be known; Zhou is due to Yin Li, and the profit and loss can be known. It may be a successor to Zhou, although it is a hundred generations, it can be known..."

This is a prophecy from Confucius, he is right, you have to admit, Zhou, is a great era. For thousands of years in later generations, China's system and culture were basically the continuation of the Zhou Dynasty, and even China was only finalized under the Zhou's "Xiajun and Yimin" enfeoffment and colonial system.

The Zhou system was passed on to Jin, and the Jin system was passed on to Zhao. Although Zhao Wushi claimed to have absorbed the three-generation system for profit and loss, most of them were still the template of the Zhou system. Today, he can be domineering, cut off the head of Zhou Tianzi, hang it on the banner, subvert their culture, and pull Zhou Wenwang Zhou Wuwang off the altar and step on 10,000 feet.

But he wasn't sure. After hundreds or thousands of years, if Zhao's family was exhausted, the world was ruined, and he was replaced by someone else, would his descendants also be criticized and punished like this?

In the eyes of Confucius, Zhao Wuxi was a destroyer, he destroyed the old order, but he was not a god, so he couldn't overthrow everything, and had to build a new high-rise building on the basis of the old dynasty.

This is also the reason why China has a long history, but it has been able to keep the core passed down.

Xia, Shang and Zhou are all part of China's history. Should they inherit history and discard it, or liquidate and revenge for a momentary madness, and make China fall into the selfish blood feud of one family and one surname again? Staged the cultural disaster that destroyed the sky and the earth after the overthrow of the old dynasty again and again?

Zhao Wuxi had already made a decision.

Thanks to the Duke of Zhou and the people of Zhou, at the beginning of the founding of the country, this group of very real politicians has found a good reason for the replacement of the dynasties in later generations.

That is the transfer of destiny!

"Zhou De is done!"

When Zhao Wuxi ascended to the top of the Temple of Heaven, the performance of the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty reached a climax. For this reason, he did not know how many times he had practiced.

"Zhou can't be safe in the world, but fortunately God Haotian sent down Zhao Hou Wuxi. Zhao Hou is wise and valiant, saves the crisis, makes China peaceful, and keeps my ancestral temples safe. The people all over the world should be grateful for Zhao Hou's generous gift. "Daya. King Wen" There is a saying that the destiny of the people is eternal, and it belongs to the virtuous. When Xia did not lose the people's hearts, everyone respected the Queen Xia and was willing to serve the people. Once the people's hearts were lost, the people would rather perish with the sun rather than Under the rule of Xia again. When Yin and Shang did not lose the people's hearts, Shang Tang and Wu Ding could also be commensurate with the will of heaven. Once they lost their virtues, Yin Ming was revoked by Zhou. In the battle of Muye, Dayi Shang was destroyed within a day."

"Now that Zhou's virtue is exhausted, I should give back to the boy and return the throne of the emperor to the Haotian God!"

After saying that, the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty began to take off his emperor's clothes and robes, and even Dagui, who was stuck in his waist, fell to the ground and shattered!

Different from the renunciation, the position of the emperor was not directly handed over to Zhao Wuxi by Zhou Tianzi, but was returned to Haotian God first, indicating that he had no virtue before occupying this position.

And that alluring crown, Zhao Wuxi took it over from Haotian on his own!

When negotiating this ceremony, Nanzi was eager to come, and wanted to use the identity of the great witch as the intermediary between the Haotian God and Zhao Wuxi, but Zhao Wuxi refused.

This evil head can't be opened!

At this point, the use of Nanzi is not very big. It is enough to spread rumors of auspiciousness and Xuanwang's appointment among the people. The crown of the emperor must be taken by the emperor of Zhao himself! He is the combination of the king and the priest! Sovereign power comes from heaven, not from anyone else!

Similar to the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen first claimed to have received the Mandate of Heaven, and only then did King Wu of Zhou remove the Mandate of Yin, leaving the world with only one Son of Heaven to whom the Mandate of Heaven belongs...

Only then did Zhao Wuxi truly become the new emperor, and his new dynasty "Hao" could prop up the facade to open!

When the ministers finished their greetings, they bowed down and bowed to the head, saying, "Long live the emperor."

The Ritual Officer did not miss the opportunity to say loudly: "Xia Jun is called Empress, Shang Jun is called Emperor, and Zhou Jun is called King, each of which has a name. Now Jun Hao has been ordered by Heaven to raise righteous soldiers, kill fierce barbarians, pacify the world, and make up thirty counties in the sea. Sixth, in the 12th vassal state, the laws and regulations are unified, and this kind of merit has not been done since ancient times. Emperor, call yourself me!"

Zhao Wuxi smiled. As the chief director of this ceremony, all this was what he meant, and he said one word lightly: "Yes!"

"Eternal Emperor!"

In the congratulations from the ministers, the last emperor of Zhou, who was named "Duke of Zhou" by Zhao Wuxi, walked to the second floor of the Temple of Heaven in despair, and stood with the sons of Song, Shang and Qi Gongwei, who had come here thousands of miles away. They are the "Three Kes" of the Hao Dynasty, and they are all ranked as Shang Gong.

"Within the Liuhe, the emperor's land. A measure of equipment, the same text in the book. The sun and the moon are illuminated, and the boat is contained. All of them will end their lives, don't be disappointed. Acting at the right time is the Emperor Wei. The emperor's virtue is preserved. Four poles. Eliminate chaos and harm, and bring happiness. It involves quicksand in the west, and all the northern households in the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and Daxia in the north. Wherever people go, there are all ministers. , each of you An Qiyu!"

In the chorus of praises and virtues, only Zhao Wuxi was not satisfied. He knew very well that although he unified the Central Plains, he only unified Xiaohuaxia. Chu, Yue, Bashu, North Korea, Western Qin, and even Lingnan and Dianchi Lake, only when these places are fully under the rule, the six-contract style, and the Kyushu co-consistency can be regarded as a real unification!

"The road is a long way to go, and I will go up and down to find out..."

After admonishing himself not to be arrogant and arrogant, the ceremony is nearing the end. Next, it is to sacrifice the world with wine, three prisons and burning fire. Zhao Wuxi also announced that he would change the Yuan Jianyuan and amnesty the world. This year is Jianyuan. The first year is also the first year of China. Zhao Wuxi hopes that in the future, China will commemorate and the world will commemorate, whichever is the case.

By the way, this year is also 475 BC. Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxi's mood couldn't help shaking.

In the original history, this year, several major events happened: in Wuyue, Fuchai was trapped and was about to die, and Goujian rose to tyranny. In the state of Qi, Chen Heng killed Duke Jian of Qi and seized power, completing a big step for the Chen family to replace Qi, but the princes Yan Ran did not ask. In Jin State, this year was also a very important year for Zhao Xiangzi. He took over the position of patriarch from Zhao Jianzi. At the same time, the three patriarchs of Wei and Hanzhi entered the stage of history one after another. Divide the Jin kingdom.

Therefore, in the historical chronology of China, according to Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian. The Preface to the Chronology of the Six Kingdoms", this year is precisely considered to be the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period...

Now, under the change of Zhao Wuxi, both his personal destiny and the historical process are very different.

But this year is also extremely important.

Jiuding moved, Chu Jun came to court, Zhou Wang abdicated, Zhao clan became emperor...

Also, when Confucius passed away, his writing in the Spring and Autumn Period was gone.

This year is also the end of "Spring and Autumn". However, there will be no Warring States after the Spring and Autumn Period. China does not need another tragic annexation for more than 250 years, and there is no need for terrible massacres. A new dynasty will be established in one. It will lead China to advance into an era of peaceful military eradication and cultural prosperity...

In the future, we still need to explore carefully step by step. No one can tell what will happen. Fortunately, Zhao Wuxi knows the general trend. After all, that is the direction he came from.

While thinking about the future, he also looked back at the past, the history called "Spring and Autumn". The past is like smoke, and the history as people know it has changed beyond recognition, and is about to disappear with the passage of time.

At this moment, Zhao Wuxi, as the terminator of the old era, is also the founder of the new era.

He is here~www.wuxiahere.com~ standing in the middle of the nine tripods, standing on the Temple of Heaven, standing under the blue sky, standing on the historical node called "now".

He was watched by Haotian, and faced the admiration or hostility of the world.

The past, the present, the future... Zhao Wuxi seemed to understand something.

"Master, you have said that the three talents are the people of heaven and earth, and the three are always the kings. But, can I think so too?"

"With the power of one person, through the past, the present and the future can also be kings!"

Perhaps the only one who can do this is him, who is a transmigrator, right?

At this moment, he is no longer a hurried passer-by, but the master of this period of time.

Zhao Wuqi smiled relievedly: "So, this is my Spring and Autumn, and I am the king!"
