Spring and Autumn I Am King

On December 31, 476 BC, Yecheng.

There are not many beauties in Zhao Wuxi's harem, and the only ones who are young enough to have children are Xi Shi and Kong Tong Mingzhu, one south and one north. Strange to say, Xi Shi only had daughters, and the three daughters were named "Hui", "Yan" and "Man" according to the lines in the Book of Songs. Kongtong Mingzhu only gave birth to boys. Her first child was named "Liang", and then she gave birth to a pair of twins named "Zuo" and "Wei". Now she is pregnant again, and 80% is also a boy .

Although Zhao Heng, Zhao Yan and other sons have grown up, the Changle Palace is now filled with the laughter and laughter of six children again.

What children look forward to most is the new year.

Not to mention, this time the New Year is different. Just the huge Jiuding brought back from Luoyang by their father a few days ago made them excited for a long time. When they woke up, they ran to watch the artisans and soldiers set up the Jiuding.

The palace people didn't have time to deal with the six little sons and daughters, because both inside and outside Yecheng and the Weiyang Palace in Changle were busy, not only to prepare for the ceremony for the emperor to replace Zhou as the emperor. Also because the New Year's bell is about to ring, the vassals from all over the world, and even the vassals of the barbarians and Rong Di from all over the world will come to congratulate them, and their arrival will inevitably bring a variety of tributes to the palace.

Needless to say, domestic counties and counties, apart from the one sent by Ran Qiu from Shanyang County, are basically auspicious things such as Jiahe, which is the best symbol to prove the destiny of the Zhao regime.

The princes are the treasures at the bottom of the box where they are located: the luan bird and the western dog of the Western Qin Dynasty, the coral of the Sanqi state, the shark pearl of the Yue state, the white horse of the Yan state, the ginseng of the Chen family’s Korea, the bi-wing bird of the Ba state…

In particular, in order to avoid the disaster of the subjugation of the country, the Chu country bleeds the most, not only did the Chu Jun Xiongzhang come to the court in person, but also brought the national treasure He Shibi, Suihou Zhu and the traditional tribute Mao Bao.

However, the limelight of those treasures from the state of Chu was accidentally robbed by the tribute sent by the state of Shu.

Under the careful care of the palace servants, Zhao Wuxi's three pairs of children were all surrounded by a large cage, which contained two rare beasts of Shu that the Central Plains people had never seen before.

These two animals, one male and one female, have chubby and chubby bodies and short tails. If you don't pay attention, you can't find them. The whole body is made of black and white, and the hair is light and shiny. The shape looks like a bear, but it is smaller, and it is not fierce. The two dark circles on the round face are naturally cute and cute.

Others can't recognize it, but Zhao Wuqi can't forget this animal even if he dies, isn't it a panda!

Out of reverence for Zhao, they expressed their willingness to restore their surrender to the Central Plains in the Zhou Dynasty, and paying tribute was a symbol of submission.

The Shu people who came to pay tribute said that this thing is called Zuyu in the local area, and it was caught by the people of Shu from the mountains south of the Qinling Mountains, because it likes to eat bamboo, and it will not harm other animals unless it is a last resort. The "righteous beast" of the people of Shu peaceful coexistence, so the people in Shu regard this animal as a symbol of peace and friendship. In Shu, when two tribes were at war, as long as one side raised the Zuyu flag, it meant surrender, and the other side had to stop fighting.

It sounds good, but Zhao Wuxi felt inexplicable joy when he thought that the people of Shu would raise the panda flag when they went to war, and the **** battle in the wild mountains and fields disappeared.

In short, as soon as it comes, it is safe to do so. The most important thing is to let the two living treasures survive this winter, so he threw them to Yu Ren to take care of them. Unexpectedly, he attracted the attention of the children. .

"It's moving!" Zhao Liang, the eldest and active, said excitedly to his brothers and sisters, pointing to the cage, but he was disappointed to discover that it was just the panda turned over.

The son-in-law and son-in-law came to visit, but the two living treasures ignored them. Most of the time, they were sleeping soundly, with their stomachs facing the sky, but their front paws gently patted their stomachs. Sometimes, when it kicked its legs, it turned over, thinking it was awake, but it was actually still sleeping.

However, after the unremitting teasing of the sons and daughters, the panda finally woke up, rubbed its sullen eyes with its paws, and the first thing to do after getting up was to eat. You are welcome, that expression is like, "An Neng breaks his eyebrows and bends his waist to work for the powerful, making me unhappy?"

But this alone is enough to make the little sons and daughters laugh non-stop. In their opinion, these two cute animals are much more interesting than the cold and rusty Jiuding...

The teenagers do not know the taste of sorrow, the six children who are loved by all kinds of people are happy, but their elder brothers are not so leisurely. Zhao Cao, who was finally able to return to Ye City, as well as Prince Zhao Heng, Xu Jun, and Zhao Yan, sat obediently in the Sun Residence Hall, and under his father's eyes, flipped through the book Zhao Wuxi asked them to read— The historian of Zhao State just revised and printed the "World Edition"!

...

"The lineage of the clan is recorded by the ancient historians. In the time of Zong and Zhou, there was a small historical lineage, distinguishing Zhaomu. However, in modern times, the Zhou family declined, the princes were fighting for power, the classics were scattered, and the historians died, although the princes each had lineages and history books. However, each of them insisted on their own words, and it was chaotic. The few people ordered Zhao Taishi to examine the history books and lineages of the princes, and compiled this book. The whole book can be divided into "Preface", "The Emperor's Line", "Three Kings", "The Princes". ", "The History of Qing Dafu", "Posthumous Law" and other fifteen chapters, excerpts of the lineage and the origin of surnames in history..."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Wuxi asked his three sons, "This book has been printed in several copies and posted on the four gates of Yecheng. If the princes and wanderers can add a word, I will give them thousands of gold! What do you think? How is it?"

The three sons looked at each other, and finally the eldest son, Langya Jun Zhao Cao said in a nonchalant manner: "Father, this book is exquisite and of great value, but... the legend of the Five Emperors is ambiguous, and different princes have different opinions in different places. Are there any..."

"Do you mean to say that it is not rigorous enough, and it is hasty?" Zhao Wuxi asked coldly.

Zhao Cao hurriedly said, "You dare not!"

He didn't dare to say it, but it could be seen that he disapproved of the preface and the part of the "Five Emperors" in this "World Edition".

This point, Zhao Wuxi is naturally clear, because many of the contents in this book are made up according to his meaning...

In front of comprehensible people like Confucius, Zhao Wuxi was blunt, saying that he did not believe in the mandate of heaven, that the actions of heaven are constant, that he did not survive for Yao, and he did not perish for Jie. However, after returning to Yecheng, he, who was about to ascend to the throne, lied to his subjects and people against his will.

He wants to use all kinds of "auspicious auspiciousness" that the people believe in to prove to them that the destiny is in me, and the monarch's power is granted by heaven.

This "World Book" was born for this purpose.

In the "Preface" at the beginning of this book, the protagonist is the Chinese supreme **** named "Haotian God".

"God of Haotian, there is he in the coming. Watch the Quartet, and ask the people not to!"

God is an inherent concept in China and has nothing to do with Jehovah. The funny thing is that after the Jesuit missionaries used the Confucian word "God" to translate their God, the former was slowly forgotten by the Chinese, thinking that "God" was reserved for the West.

In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the word "di" already exists, and the emperor is the first word of the pedicle, the pedicle of the flower pedicle, that is, the beginning of all things. As said in the "Song of Shang", "If there is a general, the emperor will establish a son to give birth to Shang." Yin Shang used this word to honor their ancestor god, who is not only the ancestor of the Shang family, but also the master of the gods. After the monarch was deified, the monarchs of Yin and Shang also called themselves emperors.

Zhou people also believed in Haotian God, and also believed that they had a blood relationship with Haotian God. Jue Chusheng people, Shi Wei Jiang Yuan. How is Shengmin? Keshen Keshi, Ephesus has no children. The Emperor Wu Minxin, You Jie You Zhi, Shaoxing Zai Su. Carrying life and breeding, Shiwei Houji - "Daya. Shengmin". They believe that their old grandmother, Jiang Yuan, gave birth to Houji after stepping on the footprints left by the Heavenly Emperor in the world.

So after defeating the merchants, the Zhou people forcibly merged their beliefs with the beliefs of the Yin and Shang. Zhou Gong said to the failed merchants confidently: If God is your ancestor and the protector of your family and surname, then we Zhou people Why do you own the world?

As a result, the surname color of "Haotian God" was erased by Zhou Gong, making him stand above and become a **** of gods that all clans under the Zhou Dynasty must honor. Since he is not the first ancestor or ancestor of a family and a surname, then he will not give special favors to a certain surname or a certain clan, but looks down on the world fairly and selflessly, "Heaven listens to its own people, and heaven regards its own people. See". Whoever has the virtue of "king the world", let him be the king of the world!

By analogy, Heaven can revolutionize Xia Ming, can revolutionize Yin Ming, and naturally can revolutionize Zhou Ming. The reason why Zhao Wuxi was appointed by the heavens on behalf of Zhou came from this.

This can also be regarded as the tombstone dug by Duke Zhou for the Zhou Dynasty himself. That terribly smart politician just wanted to find a reason for the sparsely populated Zhou people to integrate with his subjects with different surnames? Or has he realized that it is impossible to have a family for all generations?

Now, Zhao Wuxi only needs to copy the various methods used by Zhou people to prove that he has obtained the destiny, "to prove that" Zhou's morality has declined, and the destiny has been transferred to the surname Ying, that's all.

"King Wen was ordered to have this martial art." "Although Zhou was an old state, his life was restored." The entire chapters in these Books of Songs can completely instruct the Confucian scholars who have taken refuge in him to make a new face, and replace the protagonist with the Zhao family. Confucius has passed away, and these actions are no longer angry with him, so Zhao Wuxi has no fear.

But this is not the only purpose of Zhao Wuxi. He has to make up another big lie, that is: the five emperors, the three kings, the twelve princes, and even the surrounding barbarians, Rong and Di, which have gradually become Chinese, are actually all It's a family!

We are all descendants of Haotian!

...

Following the "World Book. Preface", which praised Haotian God for giving birth to hundreds of millions of people, it is the most important content of this book, "Five Emperors".

This is also the point that Zhao Cao felt that this book was the least rigorous. Under Zhao Wuxi's instructions, the five emperors were identified as "Emperor Xuanyuan", "Emperor Lieshan", "Emperor Shaohao", "Emperor Gaoyang" (Zuanxu). ), "Di Gaoxin" (Di Ku). The colors corresponding to the five elements are Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, White Emperor, Black Emperor and Qing Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor was regarded as his ancestor by the Zhou people with the surname Ji, and also derived branches such as the Qi surname of Tang Yao and the Si surname of Yu Shun. Emperor Yan was the first ancestor of the Jiang surname. Needless to say, the White Emperor Shaohao, whose surname was Qin Zhao, took him as his ancestor. As for Zhuanxu, he is the ancestor of the Chu people, and the first sentence of the opening sentence of the descendant Qu Yuan's Li Sao is the descendant of Emperor Gaoyang...

And Diku Gaoxin, also known as the first ancestor of Yin Shang, is the "Gaozu Xin" in oracle bone inscriptions.

In later generations, because the kingdom of Tianxia has been assimilated by the Zhou people culturally after hundreds of years, even if the Zhou Dynasty collapsed, it achieved a complete victory in culture. As soon as "preparation" is made, the purposeful grafting of ancient lineages begins. In the end, this huge plan was completed by Sima Qian's "The Chronicles of Five Emperors", and Shaohao, Zhuanxu, and Diku were directly grafted into the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Regardless of the latter two, in fact, Shaohao lived in a much older age than Huangdi and Chiyou.

The only one who is tied with the Yellow Emperor is the Yan Emperor. After all, in order to win over the ally Jiang Siyue, the Zhou people have always preached that the second ancestor is a brother in the previous books, and it is difficult for future generations to wash it off.

That's how the title of the descendants of Yan and Huang came from...

A nation is actually an imaginary community, sincerely said.

But in this historical line, because of the annexation of the Central Plains by the Ying surname Zhao, everything has become different. He is embarrassed to call Huangdi and Yandi the sons of Shaohao. After all, that would be too shameless. So simply put the five emperors side by side and say that they are all the sons of Haotian God, and they are brothers!

"The world is fixed in one, not only the territory, but also the blood of the clan. Even if the widow is determined, the emperor Haotian is the father of the five emperors, the ancestor of Tang, Yao, Yu and Shun, the ancestor of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the people of all Xia. The ancestors of the barbarians, even the ancestors of the Rong and Di barbarians! The barbarians in the distance do not understand Chinese ethics, so they can only use the concept of the emperor and the emperor to deter them!"

The "World Edition" is made public today, precisely for this plan!

Zhao Wuxi knew that most of these things were fake and could not stand up to scrutiny, but he didn't care. A lie told ten thousand times becomes the truth.

The Yue people, who are not of the same language as the Central Plains, have already begun to worship the Great Yu as their ancestors due to Zhao Wuxi's deceit and realistic political needs. Gradually, the nomadic tribes in Yunzhong and Shanggu in the north will also Legend has it that, in fact, their ancestors were after the Yellow Emperor, after the Xiahou clan, after the Yin and Shang dynasty, a certain concubine, a certain unhappy clan, who went north from the Central Plains into the grasslands and deserts, and gradually changed their customs.

Under the endorsement of Zhao's official mouthpiece, after thousands of years, there will be no descendants of Yanhuang in this world, but the descendants of Haotian...

This kind of concept is very in line with the national conditions of a multi-clan, multi-ethnic unified dynasty~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is what Zhao Wuxi wants to say to his sons, especially his prince Zhao Heng, he hopes Zhao Heng can understand his hard work.

"The widow, in the form of a stinger, raised the army to kill Jin Qing's riots and listed them as monarchs and lords. After that, they mobilized their long-term strategies and entered the imperial palace, and divided the princes into two weeks. It belongs to the Zhao family. Tomorrow will be the first day of the new year, when the widow will be officially appointed by heaven and will be the emperor on behalf of Zhou! King will rule the world!"

"You must remember that the emperor is not the emperor of the Zhao family with the surname Ying, but the emperor of the Wan family!"

"However, looking at the three dynasties in ancient times, whether Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Zhao were all names of one family, one surname and one place, their meaning was too narrow to be called success and passed on to future generations. Kyushu must have a good name to show the orthodoxy of the five emperors and three kings."

"Ying's surname is Zhao, and he is the heir of the White Emperor Shaohao. What the widow received is the order of the God of Haotian. Hao, who has a great appearance, a beautiful character, and a broad meaning, can be a country name."

"Therefore, starting from tomorrow, the name of the new dynasty will be changed to 'Hao'!"

The three brothers, Zhao Heng, Zhao Cao, and Zhao Yan, were in high spirits, and they bowed down and performed great salutes.

"May your father last forever, and Dahao will last forever!"

Their hearts are full of expectations for tomorrow. At that time, the land under their feet, the entire Kyushu, will usher in a new dynasty that does not exist in history on the basis of inheriting three generations!

Hao Chao!

ps: "World Edition" is a book that exists in reality. The author was a historian of Zhao State during the Warring States Period. There are eight existing editions.

In the past, Shaodian married the Youquan family, and gave birth to Huangdi and Yandi. The Yellow Emperor used Ji Shui, and the Yan Emperor formed Jiang Shui. Success has different virtues, so the Yellow Emperor is Ji, and the Yan Emperor is Jiang - "Mandarin. Jinyu IV"

The issues related to this chapter have already been described in Chapter 86o, so I won’t go into details. There is another chapter in the evening.
