Spring and Autumn I Am King

The arrival of the envoys of Wu State surprised the Jin people.

This little brother from the family who was abandoned on the seashore was of extraordinary significance to the state of Jin. The two families re-established contact since Wu Chen was dispatched to the state of Wu. Although there are many allies in the Jin Kingdom, more than a dozen allies come together to support the scene at every turn, but at the critical moment, most of them are watching the theater party, or they are the pig teammates of Lu who have more than enough success. Only the state of Wu in the south was the best at fighting, and they beat the Chu people all the way, successfully realizing the plan designed by Wu Chen, and finally dragging down the state of Chu.

But the state of Jin can't do it either.

In the past seventy or eighty years, most of the Jin State Baba sent people to contact the Wu people, but the Wu people were very indifferent and failed to meet several times. I was afraid that the Wu people would not come next time. Except for the time of the son Ji Zha, there is rarely such a huge envoy of up to 100 people to go north to the Central Plains.

Jin has lost its hegemony, and its international appeal is not as good as the day. Now only Lu is still clinging to the duty of an ally. At this time, if Wu is able to win over, it will be more helpful when it is challenged by Qi.

The Marquis of Jin attached great importance to this, and the people of Wu State directly said that they hoped that Zhao Yang, the assistant of the Chinese army, would receive him.

Every time the right to receive foreign envoys is the focus of the Six Ministers' competition, because it is an excellent opportunity to make foreign aid, suggest trade and ask for bribes. Didn't the Fan family and the Zhao family have a bad relationship because of the Song Dynasty? But for a long time, few foreign envoys took the initiative to call names, and only Wu people had the qualifications and courage. 〗℉〗℉, x.

This surprised the Jin people, and only after inquiring did they find out that in a few days in Taoqiu last month, Zhao's son Wu Xie and Wu Guoxing Qu Wuji became "good friends" in just a few days, and even affected him and even Yu Wu's likes and dislikes of the six ministers of Jin.

"It's Zhao Wuxi again..." What made Jin's younger generation feel ashamed. Although Wu Xian was expelled from the country, the frequency of his appearance in the public eye was much higher than theirs. After the crown ceremony, Zhiyao, who became more and more high-profile, was able to fight with him.

The previous quarrel in Jin was about Zhao Wuxi, specifically. It's about Taoqiu's assassination. Zhao Wuxi sued the Marquis of Jin as the son of the Zhao family and the young Sikou of the State of Lu to sue Fan and the direct sons of the Bank of China and sent someone to assassinate him!

Zhao Yang was furious when he learned about it, and strongly demanded a thorough investigation of the matter. Since Fan Yang's assassination of Le Qi last time, he has been caught in a scandal again, and he even brought the Bank of China with him. Of course, they denied it.

Although he was afraid of the concubines of the Zhao clan, one hated the Fan clan and the other hated the Zhongxing clan. In addition, the act of assassination has gone beyond the bottom line of Liu Qing's struggle, and Wei and Han are both on Zhao's side. The Zhongjun general Zhisong was authorized by the Marquis of Jin to review the matter, but he had no clue, and the Zhao family could not come up with any concrete evidence, so the lawsuit came to a deadlock. Hou can't decide.

After the arrival of the Wu people, in addition to the greetings from Wu Junhelu to his eldest nephew, Jinhouwu, he also gave Zhao Yang an unexpected gift: a scholar from the Kingdom of Zheng who was proficient in litigation law.

...

"Deng Xi? It's "Bamboo Punishment". Deng Xizi, who was hated by Qi Mu and detained by Zheng Guo's government? How did he escape to Jin country?"

Zhao Yang, who was in charge of receiving Qu Wuji, a pedestrian from Wu State, was very happy when he heard that Deng Xi had come to Jin.

Zhao Yang loves talents, this is something everyone knows. Not to mention the older generation Dong Anyu, Fu Sou, Yin Duo, and You Wuzheng. It's just that in the past few years, there have been a lot of newcomers in his building, but he thinks it's not enough.

It started this spring. While hunting in the southern field of Jinshan, Zhao Yang suddenly realized something. Fu Ying sighed, and Dong Anyu, who was beside him, hurriedly asked the reason.

Zhao Yang replied: "The Zhao family feeds thousands of foals with grain and rice mixed forage. I also have hundreds of tiger bens, strong warriors, light warriors, and wanderers in the lower palace, but now I only use them to hunt beasts. I'm really worried that the neighbors will also vigorously cultivate talents and use them to hunt me. The order goes on, from now on, the hunting will be stopped, and all the money saved will be used to recruit talents!"

Since Wu Xie proposed to build a light cavalry and verified its power in the Battle of Jijin and the Battle of Zhen, Zhao began to pay special attention to Ma Zheng. They bought good horses from Rong and Di with porcelain, powdered food, and the silk and silk that they earned from the field method. Now they have raised thousands of horses in Jinyang, Dayuan and other places. Great use.

Wu Xian was concerned about more than just horses. Under his suggestion, the Zhao family also made certain improvements to the nursing system and systematized it.

Earlier Jin State's "Zhao Xuanzi's Law" clearly stipulated that if a retainer assists a family for three consecutive generations, he should be regarded as his monarch; if he assists a family in two generations, he should be his own master. The Assistant Lord will die for him, and the Assistant Lord will do his best for him. But in the late Spring and Autumn Period, such values ​​have gradually become a mere formality. The retainers who guarded the fiefs in those times often became too big, and the Zhao family suffered greatly.

With the transformation of the social structure and the active flow of talents, especially the intensification of the struggle between princes and families, talents have become the most valuable wealth of competitors. has become a new trend.

Zhao Yang was not the only one who had the ethos of the supporters. The Zhong Xing clan, the Wu king, the Qi country Chen clan, and the Chu country Ye Gonggao were all outstanding in this respect. Therefore, there is competition in the flow of talents. Combined with the support system of later generations during the Warring States Period, Wu Xian presented some sharp tools for fame and talent selection in his letters, so that Zhao could win the top prize in this trend. Zhao Yang praised Don't stop talking, accept it immediately.

Wu Xie emphasized that the Zhao family must be "benevolent and corporal", and cannot "be proud of their wealth and honor."

The Zhao family built the Juxian Pavilion in the lower palace, and the guests who will seek refuge in the future will be divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower classes, and their treatment will be different: the famous guests have their own mansion, travel with carriages, horses, entourage, and eat wine and meat; some Talented Chinese guests sleep in a single room, travel without carriages and horses, and eat fish; as for those who are not very talented, they sleep in a shop and eat no fish.

In Zhao Wuxi's words, Juxian Pavilion is a two-way recruitment venue and a temporary talent gathering place. The degree of respect of the disciples is determined by their own talents, and has nothing to do with their status. Prove their talents, and their rank can be promoted.

The wanderers who ate under the Zhao family had a process of choosing a master for the Zhao family according to their treatment, and the Zhao family also chose talents from them. The two sides looked at each other. Menke will officially go into office and become subordinate officials of the Zhao clan. Zhao Yang gave them stipends. Sent to local lords as officials, and gradually replaced the hereditary retainers whose tails were too big.

But although it is recommended to do so in Jin. But in the west of the Lu country, Wu Xie did not open a Juxian Hall and steal the limelight with his father.

First, it was because his site was still small and his reputation was not wide, so he could not recruit and support so many scholars. Second, he believes that the so-called nurses are just a transitional form of cultivating talents. Nowadays, the ethos of private schooling is not as strong as that in the Warring States Period. This kind of recruiting talents may catch one or two big fish in this era. But only as an aid.

His focus is still on the construction of Mongolian learning and the targeted training of high-level talents. Although due to the sudden cloud of war, it has not officially opened yet, only mathematics and craftsmen are gradually starting. Because he could not host in Jin himself, Wu Xie suggested that Zhao Yang adopt this method that was easily accepted by the times. He felt that Zhao Yang had the confidence to lead the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period.

As a result, Zhao's internal centralization and recruitment began quietly together. When Deng Xi came to visit the lower palace with Yanyan, he saw such a scene.

Zhao Yang had heard about Deng Xi for a long time, and only then did he know that it was Zhao Wuxi who rescued him and let him join the Zhao family in Jin. Although it is because the road to Lu State from the east has to pass through Zheng and Wei. Wu Xie is afraid of being unsafe, but in this way, it means to recruit talents for the father.

Zhao Yang was overjoyed. There are people who want to welcome Deng Xi in person. For example, Dou Wei, the doctor of Langyu, raised an objection. After all, Deng Xi has a bad reputation in the eyes of the upper echelons, and he has always regarded himself as an opposition in opposition. In Zheng State, he led the people and businessmen to litigate and clamor, which led to an uproar among the people and chaos in the State of Zheng.

"If he did the same after he defected to the Zhao clan, what should he do!?" In fact, Dou Wei, who was inclined to benevolent governance and ritual governance, was somewhat hostile to Deng Xi, a man with a criminal name.

But Zhao Yang said: "You don't know, all beautiful women will be attracted by ugly women.

Hatred; virtuous people will be alienated by troubled times; upright people will be hated by those who are treacherous. Zheng Guo was hostile to Jin, and the expelled Zheng Guoxian was treated well, which was just enough to attack his generation. What's more, I need the help of a Taoist like Deng Xi in arguing with Fan and Bank of China this time! "

After saying that, he walked out the door to welcome Deng Xi, invited him to the Juxian Pavilion, and treated him with the best guest courtesy.

Just as Confucius once said, "Those who are evil must be examined; those who are fond of them must be examined." Whether a person is liked or hated by the people around him is not necessarily a criterion for evaluating his quality and talents. Zhao Yang did not value Deng Xi just because he was hostile to Dr. Zheng Guoqing.

He believes in the vision of his own son! Zhao Yang believes that Wu Xie will never aim at nothing.

...

After Deng Xi was released from the prison of Zheng State, he went through a long process of escaping, but after arriving in Jin State, he lived in the best house with porcelain and ate the best food, on the same level as Zhao Qing. All sorts of things, like a lifetime away.

Zhao Yang, a virtuous corporal, naturally asked for something in return, and he quickly entrusted him with this sensational assassination lawsuit in the state of Jin.

"The two sons of Fan and Bank of China sent dead men to assassinate Wenzi Wuxi, and luckily survived, but their sophistry denied the matter outright. We also think that the evidence is insufficient. Mr. Suwen is good at litigation in Zheng Guo, and Mr. Wang Help!"

"What the Central Military Officer said, we should do our best."

It is common sense to invest in papaya and repay it with Qiongyao. Therefore, Deng Yi saw that Zhao Yang did not ask about the criminal name and law, but focused on the success or failure of a lawsuit. Although he was a little disappointed, he happily agreed.

Deng Xi is good at debating, so some people say that he "talks about two things and sets up endless words", and he did this in Zheng Guoshi. He is skilled in the procedure of litigation, collecting evidence, arguing, and convicting as commonplace. Quanbao made Fan and the two boys from Bank of China unable to eat and walk around.

But just as Deng Ana was retrieving all kinds of hearing testimony and collecting evidence, this matter had to come to an abrupt end.

Because the state of Jin, especially Zhao Yang, no longer cares about this matter.

...

When Zhao Wuxi's letter of request for help arrived in Jin, it was already mid-August, along with the news that Qi people had begun to gather people from their villages and were preparing to send troops to Xibi in Lu before and after the autumn harvest. They were like a potion of boiling oil poured into the galloping flames, which made the recent quarrel in the Jin kingdom stagnate, and then intensified.

Zhao Yang didn't care about the trouble of looking for Fan and Bank of China's two ministers, and instead begged the Marquis of Jin to recruit troops to support the state of Lu. But the Qi people did a good job at this time. They were catching up with the grain harvesting of the Jin State and preparing to enter the warehouse. The people would not leave the land at this time. Even if they were recruited immediately, it would be delayed for a few days. The military situation is on fire, and in just a few days, enough Qi people to do a lot of things.

What's more, ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhao's request is also hindered by Fan and Bank of China. They are gloating about the imminent attack of Xibi, where Wu Xie is located.

Fan Jishe secretly speculated: "The Qi people's plan to attack Yiyi last year has been delayed again and again. It seems that it has finally changed with Yanghu's entry into Qi. Zhao Wuxi is really self-sufficient. If we contain Zhao's forces, let us They can’t go to rescue quickly, facing the army of Qiren, the humble son will definitely lead the city, his life will not be guaranteed, and my son can avenge his great revenge, isn’t it wonderful?”

So Fan and Bank of China Erqing tugged at Zhao's hands and feet, excused the autumn harvest of the territory, and refused to immediately recruit soldiers. Zhibo laughed at the development of the situation.

At this moment, another news came, which made the general Zhong Xingyin, who was helping Fan's noise, suddenly stunned.

The urgent letter came from Dongyang, the territory of the Zhongxing clan, and the **** silk book had several large black characters written in ink.

"Qi's soldiers are not in Xilu, but in Yiyi!" (To be continued...)
