Spring and Autumn I Am King

Zigong said sincerely to Zhao Wuxi: "The Master once said that people have no faith, and I don't know what it is. The gentleman once had an oath, and he was given to the gentleman's Jia, and the gentleman was the owner of the gift, for a period of at least three years. Now that the blood is not dry, how can Chi break his promise!?"

Facing Zhao Yang's temptation, Zigong thought about it like this: The Master once said that if the Tao is different, it is not mutually beneficial. Although Confucius started at the end of the day and sometimes had to be flexible, it still had its own principles before reaching a dead end.

The master has always been critical of Zhao Yang's policies and actions. Although he has changed his attitude a little recently because of the decree of stopping obedience to death, it is entirely because of the actions of his concubine Zhao Wuxi.

When Zigong was in Zhongdu, he told his master that he wanted to come to Jin to be the son of Zhao's concubine. The Master had told him at that time that he hoped that he would be Zhao Wuxi's husband and persuade him to practice benevolence, righteousness, rites and music.

Although Zhao Wuxi had some differences with Confucianism, in Zigong's view, it was harmonious and different. Although he paid attention to farming and various labors, Zigong remembered that the Master also said that "workers want to be good." If you do something, you must first sharpen your tools." Such words.

Although he issued strict military orders, he still treated the people relatively mildly. "If the government is lenient, the people will be slow, and if they are slow, they will be punished fiercely; if they are violent, the people will be disabled. If they are disabled, they will be lenient." The "combination of leniency and fierceness" coincides with each other.

However, Zhao Yang, on the other hand, was more inclined to severe punishment and strict laws, and violated the ritual system on many utensils.

What's more, Zigong touched the copy of the Book of Jue Qin that he had been carrying around in his arms. He only revealed his ambition unintentionally when he was drinking, but Zhao Wuxi was able to keep it in his heart, and did everything possible to find these words of passers-by, give them to himself, and wish him an early realization of his ambition.

"If I can become the Minister of Jin in the future, I will definitely hire Zigong to be a walker in the Jin State, and I hope that when Zigong is sent to the vassals, I can do such a feat as the Duke of Shen and Wu Chen's alliance with Wu Kangchu!"

It wasn't that Zigong didn't know the hints in Zhao Wuxi's words. But he was still very moved in his heart, which was beyond the relationship between interests and vows.

He remembered before the departure. He once asked Confucius in Zhongdu and said, "Master, dare to ask who is a scholar?"

The Master pondered for a moment, and then said, "There is shame in doing things, and you can do it in the four directions without humiliating the emperor's orders. You can be called a scholar."

Have a sense of shame when doing things and make decisions, go on missions to the nations, and be able to complete the mission entrusted by the lord. Can be called a clerk.

Zi Gong claimed to be a shameless and faithful scholar!

He felt that Zhao Wuxi treated himself as a friend and a gentleman, and although he could not pledge allegiance to him for the time being and serve him as the master. But at least! We must repay it with the friendship of friends and the loyalty of scholars!

Therefore, in the side hall, he turned down Zhao Yang's call.

After listening to Zhao Wuxi, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was calm, but he felt sorry for Zigong.

It's not that he has to worry about gains and losses. But it is Zigong, a world-class talent, who is both almighty in economics and diplomacy, which is really rare. in this era. Perhaps, only Fan Li (luo) in the south can be compared with Tao Zhugong in the future.

Afterwards, Zhao Wuxi and Zigong held Zhao Yang's talisman and approached the family leader Yin Duo and the doctor Fu Sou to discuss specific matters. Afterwards, they summoned the warehouse officials of the lower palace, Che Zheng, and the staff of the stables and gardens. convey the will of the suzerain.

"From today, most of the wheat in each warehouse in the lower palace will be used for milling wheat flour. Chazheng and the staff of the stables have arranged for the cattle and horses to be transported!"

At the same time, there were also messengers who went to the neighboring townships with briefs. Let the village chief and the village chief deliver the wheat to the lower palace, and the biggest supplier of raw materials is, of course, Chengxiang.

Zhao Yang's request is very simple, he must overwhelm Fan's merchants in the millet market, and don't let a grain of Zhao's corn flow into their warehouse! The newly built mill in the lower palace has been in full operation since the next morning. This economic battle between Zhao and Fan has officially started!

Based on the lesson that the chef of the lower palace leaked the structure of the stone mill, Zhao Yang also imposed strict family laws, and anyone who dared to contact outsiders who leaked it, kill him! The whole family is reduced to prisoners!

And Zigong also wants to return to Chengxiang, transport the continuous production of finished porcelain, bring them to the lacquer pottery market, and launch a smashing blow on the Fan businessmen!

Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but think of a sentence in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that he read in his previous life, which is quite suitable for today's situation.

To be right, to win!

Therefore, before leaving, he instructed Zigong: "Zigong will go here like the hair of a fierce beast and a bird, and he will hit him with a single blow!"

...

On the third day, Zhao Wuqi was neatly dressed, wearing a new autumn clothes sewed by his sister, wearing a white jade ring from Yuzhi Kunlun, standing under the car, his hands wrapped in wide sleeves, and his face was solemn waiting outside the deer garden. .

Today, he will officially enter the palace and become the monarch's assistant to sacrifice to the great Mars, which heralds the arrival of autumn. At the same time, at Zhao Yang's request, the monarch agreed to let Le Qi's daughter visit her father.

That's why Zhao Wuxi waited outside Le Lingzi and her sister's residence so formally.

Le Lingzi doesn't seem to have the habit of making people wait for a long time. Wu Xie found that she was covered with a thin veil again, but in this way, those clear and graceful eyes looked even more charming.

Maybe it was the first time they looked at each other more than half a month ago, which shocked Wu Xie too strongly, or maybe it was the verbal engagement that was secretly pulling his emotions. He still had a little feeling for Le Lingzi, but it was a little vague.

She is probably the kind of woman Wu Xie liked in her previous life, but the two of them are still very strange now.

If you look up at this time, you can see three figures, one red and two white, standing on the hills of Luyuan watching them leave. Zhao Wuxi knew that it was his elder sister with two white deer. Not having to face the delicate Shura field, this made Zhao Wuxi relieved, but somewhat disappointed.

He took back his thoughts, and when Le Lingzi bowed his body and said "gentleman", he also bowed.

The two are not yet married, so it is impolite to stare at the girl for a long time, and the shirtless eyes also move down politely, and find that Le Lingzi is also wearing a white jade today, and the jade will be the general.

Zhao Wuxi was determined to take this opportunity today to communicate with his fiancée who will share the bed in the future, but he was still waiting around for a maidservant, not a place to talk. Without a shirt, he stretched out his hand and invited Le Lingzi to step on the bicycle, while he politely protected him.

Ride today. It's a horse-riding car, which is different from the military car that Wu Xie usually rides.

Anche's car yu (yu), that is, the car is larger. Slower, you can sit comfortably. It is often used for female dependents or the elderly to ride. The wheel is still wrapped with rushes to prevent bumps. In later generations, there is an idiom, which is called "an chapu wheel".

There is a dome-shaped umbrella cover on the car yu, which can shelter from wind and rain, and a curtain is hung around the yurt to prevent passers-by from peeping. There are flowing cloud patterns on the curtain, and Zhao's unique logo sun and bird pattern on the outside of the car. There is a soft seat in the middle of the pavilion for Le Lingzi to sit on, because women must sit in the car, as the so-called "women do not ride immediately".

Young men have to stand in the car, but Wu Xie has the fate of the emperor today. One is to enter the palace as a sacrifice, and the other is to **** Le Lingzi to see his father. Therefore, "the emperor ordered the call, and the doctor and the scholar must personally control it." Wu Xie shared the car with Le Lingzi, one to perform the duty of protection of the man, and the other to drive as a charioteer.

The Zhao family's flag and the escort's light chariots circle around the front and back. In this car, there is only the private space of a fiancée couple.

At this time, Zhao Wuxi had to thank Wang Sunqi for his strict guidance. Although his current driving skills were not as good as Wang Sunqi's, he was even left behind by the talented Tong Ao, but he was no longer a novice. The degree of on-the-road. On the flat official road, it is still possible to control the eight bridles and control the horses and kimonos to move quickly.

But since the start of the road, the space of several meters in the car has been silent for a moment.

Shirtless thought. Is this a bit like driving a car with a girl in a previous life? However, something must be said.

Eight bridles with the dancing of the arms. The jade ring on Zhao Wuxie's waist lightly clicked on the belt hook, and he couldn't help but have an idea. Got an idea.

After Wu Xie coughed lightly, he sang a poem.

"There is a **** car, Yan Ru Shunhua. Will fly and fly, wear Yu Qiongju."

"There are female companions, Yan Ru Shunying. The general will fly, and the jade will lead."

Just now, Le Lingzi had been frowning and worried about her father's safety, but at this moment, her worry was interrupted by a song by Zhao Wuxi and dispelled.

What Zhao Wuxi didn't know was that on the day he and Le Lingzi first met, after Ji Ying and Le Lingzi sent him out, they took her by the hand and asked her what she thought of Zhao Wuxi?

After treating Bai Mo, Ji Ying and Le Lingzi have become very close, and they can talk about some secret words.

So Le Lingzi replied: "My father sent a letter to me half a year ago, praising Zhao's gentleman for being a young man, for shooting black bears and capturing white deer, for being able to know the elegance of the music master's music, and for ruling a township in a weak year, we can trust him.

Ji Ying smiled and shook his head: "I'm asking how you see him, not how your father sees him."

Le Lingzi pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Looking at his people, he looks ordinary, and if he observes his actions, he is humble and decisive; when he treats relatives and kindness, he is humble to his subordinates, and when he treats Lingzi, he can also be polite..."

This is all her impressions of Zhao Wuxi so far. Although she is bound by a verbal engagement, she doesn't have much feeling for her ~www.wuxiahere.com~.

But along the way, Lingzi had a different kind of touch in his heart. Since her father was imprisoned, she has not felt this kind of feeling of being protected and cared for for a long time. Her elder brother is cowardly and incompetent, and the clan elders only know how to care for their own interests, and some things have to be resolved by themselves.

For more than half a year, Le Lingzi had to deal with some family affairs while worrying about how to rescue her father. Although she made a strong image in front of others, she only felt exhausted in her heart until she met Zhao Wuxi.

He patted his chest in front of himself and promised that he would find a way to save his father; he took care of himself when he was pedalling, and regarded himself as a protector; when he was angry, he sang a poem awkwardly, trying to attract his attention.

If Ji Ying asks her again at this moment, how she views Zhao Wuxi, she should answer...

Such a good man, you can entrust him!

So, Le Lingzi couldn't help but hide his smile and said something to Zhao Wuxi. (To be continued)
