Spring and Autumn I Am King

After the red silk cloth was lifted, the Marquis of Jin saw seven round-mouthed porcelain dings and six square-mouthed porcelain guilds in front of him. They are all blue-gold glazes with solemn taotie and Kui patterns on them. The surface is smooth and the color is even, which is quite novel compared to the greasy bronze and lacquerware.

In fact, ritual vessels such as ding, gui, and li have been used thousands of years ago. Before bronze became popular, they were fired with pottery. Made into porcelain, the craftsmanship is not much different, and people can accept it. It's just that making this kind of exactly the same big ware, plus more complicated glaze color than solid-colored porcelain, will test the skills of the potters in Lu State.

Fortunately, they did not disappoint Zhao Wuxi, and even managed to fool the discerning monarch.

Jin Houwu was very interested in new things like porcelain, but he didn't realize the benefits of it, he just kept it as a luxury item.

And Zhao Wuxi said that these great tools are unique among the princes. Jin Houwu suddenly felt that he had a lot of face, and once wanted to display it in the office, but was persuaded by Taishi Mo.

"Your Majesty wants to replace the country's heavy vessel (bronze tripod and gui) with flashy porcelain, just like in the old days, Pinggong wanted to replace the solemn elegance with the sound of sangjian Pushang. Hug Shi Jian and bumped into Jun!"

After the Marquis of Jin heard the words, he also felt that he had been playing too much recently, so he had to give up.

Tai Shimo also said to Wu Xie, intentionally or unintentionally, that his words and deeds when he came to the palace these days were all recorded in the history slips. Seduce the Marquis of Jin to play extravagantly.

"The gentleman can know that in the past, Di Xin used rare ivory to make chopsticks, and Jizi was frightened. Why?"

Wuxi bowed respectfully and said, "The boy is willing to listen to the teachings of Taishi."

Tai Shimo continued: "Ji Zi thought that with Di Xin's temperament, ivory chopsticks would definitely not be used with pottery utensils, and must be served in cups and bowls made of rhino horn and jade. Ivory chopsticks and rhino jade were used for serving. It is impossible to eat Shuhuoye Soup. Instead, you must eat such delicacies as yaks, elephants, and leopard embryos. The next step is not to wear short brown clothes, and not to eat under the house of Mao Ci, which is definitely The nine-layered brocade clothing. The broad room is high.

"So after five years, King Zhou set up the punishment of the cannon and built the wine pond and meat forest. The Dayi merchants died because of extravagance!"

"A gentleman makes flour, presents cuju, and enters porcelain. These are all extravagant customs. Isn't he trying to lure the gentleman to follow the old path of Yin Zhou?"

Zhao Wuxi was taught with pleasure: "Tai Shi's teachings, the boy should keep it in mind, but I have a clear conscience for what I have done. Let the Tai Shi be recorded above the history, and the merits and demerits can only be commented on by later generations."

Tai Shimo squinted and looked at Zhao Wuxi for a while, and then said: "Okay. It's a good merit and demerit to be commented on by future generations. I just hope that in the future, when the old man records the deeds of a gentleman, it will not be 'Zhao Dun killed his prince'! "

Influenced by Zhao Yang, Wu Xie respected Shi Mo very much, but he did not agree with his persuasion. Although Taishi Mo inherited the Jin Shi Dong Hu, the Qi State Three History, and the Southern History, the history is like the ink characters on the bamboo slips, and the victors can easily erase them.

What's more, he was just betting on the favor of the Marquis of Jin. After Tai Shimo left, the Marquis of Jin still dragged Wu Xie, complaining about the nagging and irritability of the Cai people, Wu Xie just listened. Don't say a word.

Dead wood can't be carved, and Adou can't be helped!

Kings of subjugation and failure of government, such as Shang Zhou and Jin Houwu, all have their inherent character flaws, and they cannot control their own sex. Although Jin Houwu has a little ambition and a little bit of scheming, he is playful and saves face. It's definitely not going to be a big deal.

Moreover, Tai Shimo still missed his eyes. He Zhao Wuxi was not a minister, but a traitor!

Wu Xie has his own purpose. As a son of Liuqing, there is no need to look ahead and care about means for such things as digging the corner of Jinhou. He is now like raising pigs. After Jin Houwu's extravagant desire to be fed, in his mind, after Zhao Wuxi's weight has increased, Wuxi's knife will be cut off and he will make his own demands.

So, let Jin Houwu play with his extravagance. Zhao Wuxi himself is very clean and simple. He buys all the precious porcelain, and doesn't keep a few pieces for decoration in his house.

The only thing he pays attention to is to eat in one bite, but since even Sage Kong is a foodie who "does not tire of eating fines and delicates", what's wrong with his extravagant demands?

The benefits of Zhao Wuqi's pleasing to the Marquis of Jin are obvious. He successfully won the exclusive right to supply porcelain in the Xiqi Palace for Chengxiang. This is a steady stream of orders. Since then, Zigong will bring three or five carts of exquisite finished porcelain from Chengxiang every few days, and they are slowly replacing the pottery in the palace.

Jin State, as the leader of the alliance, often received many tributes from the princes, and the Xiqi Palace accumulated a huge amount of wealth for a hundred years, and began to quietly transfer it to Zhao Wuxi's township temple and treasury.

For the young mansion of the Marquis of Jin, this may be a drop in the bucket, but for a remote village without shirts, it is a huge sum of money every month!

Different from the method of making wheat flour that has been leaked, so far, there is no china in the world. He has learned his lesson and kept the production process and craftsmen strictly confidential. Although Zhao Yang also asked about it, Wu Xie explained that it would be safer to burn in the township that had already completed the local reform, and the rare thing was the most expensive, so Zhao Yang did not let him offer it.

What Zhao Wuxi didn't know was that after Taishi Mo returned to the storage room in the Xiqi Palace, he nodded to his colleagues Shi Zhao, Shi Gui and the others, and sorted out the bamboo scrolls one after another.

When he was alone in the dead of night, Shi Mo pulled out a scroll from a hidden place, unfolded it, and thought about what he had seen and heard these days. Died in forty years later", another addition was added to the mysterious prophecy.

"Dead Jin, Zhao Ye!"

After doing this, Shi Mo hid the briefing book again, walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, looked at the gradually rounded moon, recalled the experience of his hometown Cai Guo, and sighed that the destiny was not permanent and the society was impermanent.

Of course, every time he entered the palace, Zhao Wuqi would also visit Le Qi and bring him some Song Dynasty food made by Le Lingzi, as well as some bamboo rolls to relieve boredom, as well as various interesting things about new Jiang, or Song Dynasty. National news.

Although Le Qi's body has not improved, he is still coughing and panting, but his mental state has indeed improved a lot.

He has already started to follow Wu Xie's words~www.wuxiahere.com~ and tried to "make a statement" in prison.

Le Qi showed Zhao Wuxi a brief book that had been recorded in the past half a month. The outline listed on it was about the history of the Song Dynasty. Among them are the secret past events of the Yin Dynasty, Zhou Xing, and the battle of Muye, the beginning of the Song Dynasty when Wei Zi was unsealed, the life of Duke Xiang of Song, the wisdom of Sicheng Zihan, the ancestor of the Le family, and the actions of Song Guo at the two wars of the army. Contributions, as well as those unknown inside stories during the Huaxiang Rebellion.

Zhao Wuxi was ashamed after watching it. Although this chronicle has a strong subjective tendency and is suspected of blowing the Song Dynasty, it is still well written. Compared with the brief chronicles of various countries today, Jin's "Cheng", Lu's "Spring and Autumn", Chu's "Taou" (taou), etc., are much more detailed.

Of course, under his intentional or unintentional suggestion, Le Qi also quoted the biography, and wrote biographies for several important figures, such as Di Xin, Wei Ziqi, Song Xianggong, and Sicheng Zihan.

Zhao Wuyi would also think, with the flapping of his little butterfly wings, before Confucius finished compiling Lu Chunqiu and Zuo Qiu Ming wrote Zuo Zhuan, there will be a "Historical Records of the Le Family" first in the world? (To be continued.)
