Spring and Autumn I Am King

Wu State is located in a remote seaside area, with backward economy and culture. There have always been only simple and humble towns. King Helu of Wu once complained that the State of Wu "had no guards, no people to rely on, no warehouses, no fields. Ken". 【Latest chapter read..】Until more than ten years ago, under the supervision of Wu Zixu, the first capital in the sense was established: Wucheng.

Wucheng is also known as Gusu, or Zixu City. It is high and thick, and its pool is wide and deep. It is surrounded by Guozhou and Zhouzi, and the heavy city is surrounded by corners.

However, Wu Zixu's construction of the city was more focused on military defense. It was not so much a capital as a fortress. Because of the limited population, it is only a low-lying Zeguo water city, only a few kilometers in size, and its prosperity is not yet one-third of that of Shangqiu.

For the vanity-loving Fu Chai, he still prefers the latter.

Shangqiu was the first Central Plains capital that Fuchai entered. Ten days ago, he was blocked outside the Yangmen Gate and could not enter. He was originally embarrassed and angry, but he withdrew his troops satisfied with the high standard and heavy ceremony of the ninety-nine prison. However, he did not go to Hongkou as suggested by the Song State, but instead returned to attack Xiaoyi, broke into the city in five days, wiped out the rest of Le Daxin, and then plundered for three days. Return with the might of a great victory.

This time, he finally got a glimpse of the city. Although Shangqiu insisted that Fuchai and the Xiang brothers could only bring 500 people into the city, and they were heavily guarded along the way, countless pairs of eyes were staring at them. But Fuchai was still not afraid. He regarded himself very highly, and felt that he alone could be worth a million soldiers! Not to mention that there are warriors who specialize in crucian carp.

The Yangmen Gate is 30 feet high and 50 feet wide, and it can accommodate two Sima Rong chariots entering in parallel, with more than half of the space left. The hundreds of Wu soldiers who followed Fuchai filed in had not yet recovered from the darkness under the city gate. Countless noisy and lively sounds were already in their ears. They looked around curiously as if they had entered a dream.

Although it was only in the chaos, Shangqiu had recovered, merchants gathered again, and the support resources from Taoqiu and Xilu continued to enter. That crowded crowd. The sprawling Tongtong Street, the scattered Waiguo dwellings, and the crowded shops and dog slaughter are all eye-opening for the people of Wu.

Only been to Taoqiu. Zhuanboyu, who has been to Luoyang, Xinzheng, and Xintian, is a little disdainful.

"There are many bigger and more prosperous cities in Zhongxia than Shangqiu!"

What he didn't know was that these words caused a ripple in Fuchai's heart. The ambition of the prince of Wu State was sprouting, and he had doubts about the national policy of destroying Vietnam that Wu Zixu and Sun Wu strongly advocated.

"The Central Plains are so rich, and the soldiers are weak. If the Wu Kingdom goes north with all its strength, the benefits that can be obtained are a hundred times greater than that of going south!"

Now that the ban on going to the streets has been lifted, the people of Shangqiu heard that Wu people had entered the city, and many people came out to watch, but they were very indifferent to these sloppy barbarians. As the Wu people went deeper and deeper, the atmosphere on the street became stagnant. The Song people thought that the Wu soldiers had been kidnapping and looting outside the city a few days ago, and they dared to be angry and dare not speak, and some children were even scared to cry.

The people of Song were still a little afraid of Wu, and did not dare to scold their husbands. They scolded Xiang Nest and Xiang Feng, who led the wolves into the house. When the soldiers stopped in front of Waiguo Gate and Fuchai and Erqing continued to enter, they could hear Song Yan's ballad behind them.

"One tree with five branches, four branches with citrus trees, one branch with oranges..." This is a satire among the five brothers of the Xiang clan, only Sima Ziniu is a good person, and the rest are unqualified citrus fruits.

"Look at his eyes, smash his belly, abandon his armor and return. Think about thinking, lead a thief into the house. Abandon his armor and come back." This is a mockery of Xiang's Erqing who abandoned his armor and fled after his defeat outside Shangqiu. The robbers of Wu State came back again, but they only came to harm the people, and they stared wide-eyed. Holding his stomach, he thought that he was a general who had made a contribution and returned!

Fuchai and the others couldn't understand it, and the Xiang brothers were blushing. Fortunately, they were also old politicians, and they were used to being shameless.

On the inner city wall. Zhao Wuxi saw everything in his eyes and listened to his ears. He patted Le Mixed's shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry now, because Le's family brought food into the city to open a porridge shed, and Lingzi led the magpie in the city. Because of the delay in seeking medicine, the hearts of the Shangqiu people have already turned to the Sichengle clan, and the Xiang clan has provoked public anger.

Le Mixed nodded heavily, but there was a hint of worry on his face: "With the support of the Wu people, the Xiang clan controlled the cities and towns such as Biaoyang and Xiaoyi. Although their strength was slightly inferior to the Le clan, they still dominated Sishui. Downstream..."

"The State of Wu is an ally of the State of Jin, and its strength is still strong. For the time being, it is impossible to fight against it. For now, the only way to do this is to squeeze the space of the Xiang brothers from the internal affairs and isolate them from the hearts of the people, not to mention that as long as Pengcheng is still in the hands of the public office. , the other generation does not have to worry about it.”

Pengcheng was a big city in the eastern part of the Song state. Zhao Wuxi remembered that the Song state even moved the capital to Pengcheng during the Warring States Period, where a situation of 5,000 times the giant Song was set up. Take firm control.

Looking at Fuchai and the others entering the inner city and approaching the majestic Song Dynasty palace, Zhao Wuxi said to Le Mixed: "Let's go, Fuchai is an unprofitable young generation, I am afraid this entry into the Song Dynasty will not come in vain. I will definitely open my mouth to ask for something, and I have to think about how to settle him..."

...

As Gongsun Jiu was established as Duke of Song by Le Clan, Huang Clan, and the daughter-in-law Nanzi, the great witch also recognized his legitimacy. The funeral atmosphere of Shangqiu with a new owner was slightly less, but the palace was still full of vegetarian food. glutinous.

Perhaps because of the early chaos, the guards in the palace were very strict, with guards standing guard everywhere. In the distant upstairs in the Taichung, and in the nearby corridors along the road, I see slaves clothed in hemp and maidservants of Dai Xiaomei walking by holding the scriptures. In the palace, the earth was dug and the pond was planted as a forest. It is a pity that the chrysanthemums in the garden have been destroyed under the baptism of civil strife, and the beasts in the beast room are desolate, no longer elegant.

Through those pale decorations, Fuchai can still see the beautiful pavilions of high terraces, carved beams and painted pillars, and the beauty of ancient charm, luxurious yet graceful, which cannot be achieved without the accumulation of wealth for hundreds of years. Those palace maids also had grace and slenderness that Wu Yue women did not have, which provoked Wu's generals to point and laugh, but Fu Chai did not pay attention to them. behind.

But he still had some thoughts in his heart: "My father and king are still too simple. Since the Wu country is strong, there should be corresponding towering cities, towers and ponds, which are also part of the strength of a great country. I would say that a man should lead troops during the day. 30,000 Jias conquered the Central Plains, and rested in these palaces at night. The beautiful women summoned from various countries served and lived, and this life was not in vain..."

A group of people waited to enter the hall, Zhao Wuxi, Le Mix, Huang Yuan and others had already gathered and waited here.

After seeing Zhao Wuxi, her husband's face sank like water: "Half a month ago, the troops were divided into two groups in Mengzhu, and Xiao Sikou really arrived earlier than me. After that, I didn't know that I would go out of the city to meet the friendly troops."

Zhao Wuxi smiled and said: "I'm just a guest of Song, how can I be qualified to welcome the host? Don't you want to wrong me, the prince, I sent a lot of the wine and food from Laojun a few days ago, but it still works? "

In the confrontation we met again, Fuchai still didn't get anything cheap. Everyone present is not a raw face, so naturally there is no need to greet each other too much. Not long after, Duke Song, dressed in a small one that was made out of court clothes, walked out under the Jiaolong Banner, accompanied by his daughter Nanzi, who was covered in a veil.

Originally, this was unethical, but Gongsun Jiu was ignorant. If he was not accompanied by Nanzi, he would cry and make trouble. He hugged the copper pillar tightly and did not want to go to the court, so this new king appeared, accompanied by the eldest son and daughter. Weird scene.

The doctors Song Guoqing pinched their noses and endured it. Anyway, the people of Wu can't see any politeness or rudeness, but after all, this is not a long-term method...

Sima Geng acted as the chief ceremony officer, and called out the salute loudly, and asked the courtiers and guests to pay tribute to the new Duke of Song Dynasty.

"According to the etiquette system, foreign princes should bow their heads when they see the monarch, and also invite the prince of Wu to see Duke Song..." Sima Geng finally couldn't bear the anger he had suppressed all the way.

Hu Chai didn't say a word. After he came in, he just glanced at Xiao Song Gongjiu and concentrated his energy on his daughter Nanzi.

Until Sima Geng repeatedly reminded him. The translator, who was afraid that he didn't understand, said it twice in Wu language again, and his eyes turned to Song Gongjiu again.

"This is Duke Song?" Fu Chai said with disdain. A newly weaned boy, a child raised in the hands of a woman, is also worthy of his kneeling?

"The state of Wu is the king, and the state of Song is the prince. He is born one level higher. The prince of the Wu state and the prince of Song should be of the same rank. I don't need to pause, this room is polite." Seeing the ceremony, this rude and domineering attitude suddenly stepped on the tails of the Song Dynasty officials.

The authority of the new monarchs is crucial, and it is also the source of their powers, and they must not be trampled on by Fuchai!

Le Min felt that as a future ruler, he should stand out, so he stood up and stammered: "Wu Guo abandoned on the beach, not with Ji Tong, obviously just an earl..."

"Do you try again?" Fuchai's short sword was removed from the outside, but his sharp eyes were like a sharp sword, and he stabbed towards Leming, choking his unfinished words in his throat.

Le Minna didn't dare to speak, but Zhao Wuxi added on his behalf: "Brother is right, when I was in the state of Lu, I watched the alliance book of the Huizhihui, and Wu Junshoumeng was invited by the state of Jin to make an alliance with the Zhongxiahui. The book clearly says 'Uncle Wu', after Song Pinggong, the crown prince may have a bad record."

"After the meeting, the State of Jin attacked the Song Dynasty and forced Yang, and after the city was destroyed, the city was given to the Xiang clan. Did Xiao Sikou think I would not be clear? In fact, it is no longer possible to use the old titles to determine the order of superiority and inferiority. Wu is a big country that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Jin and Qi, but Song is only a middle-class prince, what the Prince of Wu said is reasonable..." Xiang Yu said quietly afterward, and this behavior of turning his elbows outwards immediately attracted his younger brother Sima Geng 's anger.

"Brother Zhong, are you Song Chen or Wu Chen!"

Amidst the commotion, the audience was about to break up unhappily, until a clear voice resounded in the hall: "For the purpose of ritual, harmony is the most important thing. The second and third sons are going to make a noise in the court hall, disturbing the souls of the ancestors who have not yet dispersed."

When everyone looked back, it was Nanzi, the daughter-in-law in filial attire who spoke.

After Fuchai came in, his energy was put on two people, one was Zhao Wuxi, who entered the city ahead of him, and the other was Nanzi, who was famous among the princes for his beauty.

The former made him a little confused, while the latter shocked him.

The girl is pretty and filial, and Nanzi's fresh and refined makeup is actually more attractive than wearing gold, silver, and purple on weekdays. This is one of the reasons why the officials of the Song Dynasty favored her.

"The daughter's words are reasonable, and this prince will not care about your generation."

After Nan Zi spoke, Fu Chai restrained his domineering temper. He turned his eyes to Nan Zi again, and looked at her from head to toe again. His eyes were wanton and greedy, which made everyone in the hall wrinkle, but Nan Zi was not afraid. The ground and Fucha looked at each other.

Fu Chai nodded in satisfaction, although he couldn't see the face under the veil, but the beauty of the city and the country must be better than that of the son of the Song Dynasty, Ji Zi...

How did Xiang Chao describe it to himself? In the Song Dynasty, when the elders in the court saw Nanzi, they would put down the jade and look at her with their beards. When young scholars saw Nanzi, they couldn't help but take off their crowns and rearrange their headscarves, hoping to attract Nanzi's attention to him. The ploughers forgot that they were plowing, and the hoeers forgot that they were hoeing; so that the farm work was not finished, and they complained to each other after returning, just because they were attracted by Nanzi's beauty, they chased after her car. after.

And that graceful and luxurious temperament is something that Ji Zi, who looks north in tears all day, does not have it. This is the choice of the lady!

He had something in his mind~www.wuxiahere.com~ stretched out three fingers, looked around the court of the Song Dynasty, and said proudly in blunt and elegant words: "Actually, I came to Shangqiu this time for three things."

"The first one is as a brother-in-law to hang up the first emperor of the Song country; the second one is to pay a visit to the new emperor of the Song country, repair the old friendship between the two countries, and then see if there is anything in the state of Song that needs the help of the state of Wu; the third..."

He was a man who got what he wanted, whether it was honor, victory, or a woman. The courtesy of the ninety-nine prisoners satisfied his vanity; the victory of eliminating Xiaoyi and looting nearly ten thousand people made him proud; The line is perfect.

Fuchai looked at Nanzi with a confident smile: "I want to marry Nanzi, the daughter-in-law of Song, and I hope Song will marry her!" (To be continued.)
