PS: Yesterday's chapter was wrong.,It's 489.,There's something going on today.,That's it first.,Two more tomorrow.

The gnomes of Qi paid the price of their lives for appearing on the wrong occasion and at the wrong time, and they reluctantly made an explanation for today's events.

However, the blood stains on the high platform can be washed away, but the peace talks can no longer be discussed, the two sides can no longer trust each other, and the process is stuck in the oath link.

The book of the Qi people said: "The Qi division was invaded, and the Lu country did not use 300 military vehicles to help me, there is such an alliance!" ”

This is to force the Lu State to directly withdraw from the alliance with the Jin State, and turn to the Qi State, which the Lu people dare not agree, after all, although the Qi people occupy Yiyi, but in the military battle, it is the Jin people who win.

So Confucius also hardened, and said: "If Qi does not return to my Wenyang field, it will be the same!" ”

The state of Lu insisted that the Qi people return the occupied Wenyang Shuyi, so the Qi people turned to ask for the land of Zhencheng and Xiaqiu in exchange!

Zhao Wuxian, the owner of these two towns, smiled and said nothing, after Fang Cai's shock, where could anyone force him to accept this condition?

When the sun set, the twists and turns of the Jiagu Hui Alliance came to an end, and the Qilu monarchs and ministers broke up unhappily.

In the end, no substantive covenant was reached other than the cessation of the war between the two countries.

The hatred of the Qi people towards Zhao Wuxian became stronger and stronger, and there were also many people on the Lu side who were resentful.

But the person concerned doesn't care, this is the result he wants. Moreover, although Qi and Lu did not reach any written agreement, Zhao Wuxian and Chen Heng had many secret agreements.

For example, the Chen boatman did not block the ferry crossing of Jianjin, and the river pirates supported by Zhao Wuxian did not plunder the Chen merchant ships. Chen could exchange salt and grain for porcelain fired by Zhencheng. and paper produced in Yuncheng.

Before leaving, look at the clouds in the valley. Chen Heng, who was about to pedal the car, said pretendedly: "After all these years, I don't know when I will be able to meet Zitai?" ”

Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "It's time for Qilu to fight again." You and I will naturally be able to meet on the battlefield, and when the time comes, each will be his own master, and he often does not have to show mercy to his subordinates. ”

"If the king is a master to attack, Zi Taizhen is not afraid? Now that Zhao Qing has returned, you are also alone in the Lu Kingdom. Chen Heng pretended to be curious and tentatively said.

"When the alliance of the Tomb was summoned, the Duke of Qi Huan threatened the state of Chu to finish the war, who could resist it! Attack the city with this, what is the city and not conquer! Qu Wan said. If you use virtue to appease the princes, who dares to disobey? Indeed, if the Marquis of Qi cultivates virtue internally, punishes traitors, and appeases the princes externally, I will be afraid all day long even if I hide in a solid city. But if Qi is not virtuous, but strives for it, then I Xilu will not refuse.

I don't dare to boast that the square city is the city and the Han water is the pool. Because the state of Lu has shared the danger of mountains and rivers with the state of Qi. The Qi army bypassed the western foot of Mount Tai and could reach the north of Yuncheng and Xiaqiu. And Jishui, Pushui, and Dayozawa, if the Marquis of Qi recruits the fleets of the big rivers and seashores, it will not be difficult to attack......

But Xilu is every countryman. It's all a sword, Xilu has no wall, and the soldiers are the walls. There is no pond in Xilu, and the people's heart is the pool. If you use your strength, although there are many. I'm not afraid! ”

This self-confidence and heroism surprised Chen Heng, but he was also a little ashamed.

So on the way back to the Qi State, the Marquis of Qi asked him sullenly what he should do next, Chen Heng said without hesitation: "The oath with the Lu State has not been reached, but fortunately, the two sides have a truce, but they can't relax on Zhao Wuxian, if they can't strangle this son, then the prestige of the Qi State will not be lost, and when he grows stronger, it will be a big disaster for the king!" ”

It is also a big trouble for the Chen family! It is necessary to form an encirclement network and eradicate it, and it would be better if Qi Hou could continue to instigate Qi Hou to join Zhao Wuxian and make them lose both.

Although the two have reached a lot of economic cooperation, as soon as they turn around, they can betray each other with a smile......

This time, Qi Hou didn't pick up a little cheap, he was just sullen, and when he heard Chen Heng say this, he cheered up again.

"The third secretary of the Lu State is already very jealous of the Zhao family, and he would rather reconcile with Qi than try to expel him, and there is no hurry here, our ultimate enemy is still the Jin State, without the protection of the Jin State, Zhao Wuxian is nothing. Making peace with Lu Guo is equivalent to breaking the arm of the Jin people, but if you want to fight back as soon as possible, Qi Guo's arm must also be stabilized, and the widow just has something to hand over to you! ”

Chen Heng pricked up his ears, but heard a piece of news that made his heart cold.

"Wei Guo lost many people in the war of Punan Siyi in the last year, but Qi State seized Yiyi from Jin State, and you went back to Gaotang and asked Chen Qing to transfer the lamb, Mei, and Xing Sanyi to Wei Guo, which can be regarded as compensation given to them by Qi State."

Chen Heng's heart was buzzing, who gave you the idea, why didn't he realize it before? These three yips are equivalent to cutting off a small half of the Yiyi controlled by the Chen family, and while winning over the defense of the country, they also weaken the Chen family......

Guoxia, it must be Guoxia's idea! Zhao Wuxian was right, once the external invasion of Qi State decreased, Qi Hou immediately played a balanced strategy for the country.

Qi Hou was still muttering to himself, not noticing the turbulence in Chen Heng's heart.

"The reason why the land was sent to Wei Guo, in addition to stabilizing them, also urged Wei Hou to reach the in-laws that were delayed from spring to this autumn as soon as possible, if Song Wei is friendly, the chances of Song Guo joining the Jin League will be much smaller, and it can even be used by Qi State......"

……

As for Zhao Wuxian and his party, after the end of the alliance, they traveled southwest along Wenshui.

Wenshui originates from the southern foot of Mount Tai, circles and reverses in the valley, gathers the waters of the Taishan Mountains and Mengshan branches, flows into the west of Lu from east to southwest, and finally flows into the vast Onoze.

It is one of the most important rivers in Lu, along with Sushui and Surabaya, but unfortunately most of the fertile fields of Wenyang on the north bank are in the hands of the Qi state.

Lu Hou's mind is relatively simple, the Jiagu meeting is the first time he presides over national politics, and he was very excited, but he expected that the people of Qi had enough to fight, and his sincerity was also worrying, so there were a lot of rude things. I didn't feel anything wrong with Zhao Wuxian's strong confrontation with him, and even felt that he had maintained the dignity of the Lu State, and just killed all those gnomes who advocated excellence, and his methods were almost cruel.

Confucius was noncommittal about this, and he wanted to maintain the dignity of the Lu State. But there is also a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhao Wuxian, isn't this a full effort to sabotage the peace talks? When the two returned, they had long since lost their previous happiness. The conversation was very pleasant, and the atmosphere was very tense. This time it is the way to go. Ran Qiu and the others were either friendly with Zhao Wuxian, or they were worried about the disciples of Zhao Wuxian's ministers.

The honeymoon period between Zhao Kong and Kong has ended, the relationship has fallen to a freezing point, and the interests of the public and private ministers are irreconcilable.

Sanhuan, who is also in the private room, complained about Zhao Wuxian's behavior, but he didn't dare to make a mistake because of the mighty and majestic soldiers, and he was even worried that Zhao Wuxian would do something unfavorable to them along the way. So as soon as they crossed Liangfu Mountain, they wanted to part ways.

Ji Sunsi and Shusun Zhou Qiu hugged Lu Hou and went south to Qufu, only Mengsun He Ji wanted to continue to go to Yuyi, but he was not willing to go with Zhao Wuxian.

The Wenshui channel was widened by rain. But he can still drive and ride before parting. Confucius said to Zhao Wuxian across the shallow Wenshui: "Wenshui soup soup, pedestrian Peng Peng." Say goodbye, and hope that Zitai will do it himself. ”

Zhao Wuxian pretended not to hear the warnings and exhortations, and said: "The kid must guard the border for the country and prevent Qi Kou from crossing the border to invade Lu." ”

Confucius didn't say anything more, but just sighed and said something meaningful: "I think so." The troubles of the Lu State are not in the Qi Kingdom, but within the Xiao Wall! ”

He asked the emperor to turn the head of the car and chase after the large army, but he held the jade pendant tightly in his hand. I thought to myself: "I want to let the monarch's power rise a little, and finally revive the Zhou rites in the East, and not solve the disaster of Xiao Wall in the Lu State." It doesn't seem to work! ”

Zhao Wuxian watched them leave, and the horse pulling the cart was reluctant to go into the water. The water in the middle of the river reached the horse's belly, soaking through Kongqiu's shoes. But under the whip of the coachman, he still climbed to the other side.

A voice asked behind him, "Si Kou, is this meeting in the valley a dissatisfaction with the master?" ”

Ran Qiu was one of the most loyal Confucian disciples to Zhao Wuxian, and trained a large number of Xilu natives for him to serve as Mandarin Duck Array soldiers, and now he has become a Yi Sima in Xuju, in charge of the half-division military power.

But even he could see that Confucius and Zhao Wuxian were increasingly open to disagreement, so he asked.

"It's just that I am in harmony with my master." Zhao Wuxian seemed to be comforting Ran Qiu, and he seemed to be saying it to himself, even though he didn't believe it anymore.

He suddenly stared at Ran Qiu and asked, "If one day, the master is dissatisfied with the government and what I have done, and asks you to break the oath and leave the Zhao family, how will you choose?" ”

This question is too acute, and Ran Qiu panicked when he asked for it.

……

"Sixty or seventy, such as fifty or sixty, ask for it, and three years, so that the people can be satisfied."

To dominate a city and govern the people for the princes and doctors, this is the limit of his ideal, but under Zhao Wuxian's appreciation, it has actually been realized!

Even though he is in charge of military affairs, Ran Qiu is also enjoying it, and now if the master suddenly asks him to end this kind of life of being respected with authority in his hands, but he can't come up with enough reasons, Ran Qiu will hesitate for a long time!

Facing Zhao Wuxian's questioning, Ran Qiu knew that it was time to make a statement, he gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while, before he said: "The master has the grace of cultivation for his subordinates, and the Si Kou has the grace of knowing his subordinates, and the subordinates dare not disobey, but if they can only choose one of them......"

He held his breath and said: "I have heard a saying, called Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, this is a truth that even the children understand in Xilu. ”

"The people's nature is in three, and things are the same. Born by the father, taught by the teacher, and eaten by the king. If you are not born by your father, you will not be born if you are not eating, and you will not be born if you are not taught, so it is a thing." This is the understanding of the elites in the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch is ranked after the father and the teacher, and there is only one grace of the eater.

However, when Zhao Wuxian promoted the "primary school" among the children of young Chinese, in the course of writing etiquette and reading ideological and political courses, the masters taught "the prince of heaven and earth"!

Even Confucius knew that he would establish the monarchy in Lu and facilitate the resumption of the Zhou ceremony after the unification of the order, how could Zhao Wuxian not understand this, and these ideological educations, of course, had to start from the doll.

Fortunately, the so-called monarch in this era is not the monarch, but the feudal monarch directly under him, which also saves him a lot of words......

As a Confucian, Ran Qiu will naturally pay attention to Zhao Wuxian's promotion and education, so he remembers such a sentence, which is really in line with his identity.

It's not that Ran Qiu is a white-eyed wolf who forgets his master's kindness, but that he is a pragmatic person, an official-type character who only obeys the monarch, and will always make more practical choices.

"As it is courteous, it is a gentleman." This ultimate ideal of Confucius, Ran Qiu did not have much confidence and interest to realize, or wait for other gentlemen to do it, so he was called "ignorant of benevolence" by Confucius.

What's more, in Ran Qiu's heart, he had a similar opinion to Zai Yu, and faintly felt that Zhao Wuxian's kind of government, which was less empty talk and steady, was the only way to achieve "foot soldiers, enough food, and trust to the people", which was no worse than the so-called Fuzhou courtesy.

Therefore, his answer made Zhao Wuxian extremely satisfied: "A scholar should live up to the sky, be worthy of the earth, be loyal to the king, be filial to his relatives, and finally obey the teacher...... If the priest treats his subordinates with courtesy, the subordinates will follow suit and be loyal! ”

"Good!"

With Ran Qiu's words of loyalty, Zhao Wuxian was relieved as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

If I remember correctly, in the original history, Confucius and the Ji family had a huge difference, but Ran Qiu, as the head of the Ji family, has always given priority to the orders of the Ji family, even if he violated the will of Confucius, and was angrily reprimanded by Confucius as: "Not my disciple!" The kid can beat the drum and attack it! ”

The support and courtesy he gave to Ran Qiu was naturally countless times stronger than Ji's, and it was expected that he could get such a guarantee, but he had observed and planned when he asked Confucius, like Yan Hui and Zilu, who were loyal to Confucius, Zhao Wuxian never had the intention of soliciting at all.

The most worrying thing now is Zigong, Taoqiu's goods are too important to Zhao Wuxian, if he turns against Confucius, can he retain Duanmuci's talent as a king? Under Fang today, in addition to the future Tao Zhu Gong, can he still find a person who can check and balance to replace Zigong?

But in any case, Zhao Wuxian felt that his actions were better than rashly killing Confucius during the Jiagu Meeting, causing all the Confucian disciples to defect from the Zhao clan and become his enemies from then on.

So he smiled and patted Ran Qiu on the shoulder and said, "Fang Cai is just joking, Confucius and I just have different political views, and I will come to the door to make amends in a few days, and I will never embarrass you and other disciples." ”

Are there fewer confidants and friends with different political views who turn against each other? Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are not the best examples, as long as they get involved in politics, all ideals and friendships will change their taste.

Ran Qiu was naturally grateful to Dade, but there was still a pimple in his heart, although he could make such a promise, Fan Xu should also be able to, but Zigong, Zihua and others ...... He couldn't guarantee it.

As soon as he looked up, he couldn't help but be surprised to see that the team did not go from the flat Lu Road, but divided into two roads, and Zhao Wuxian led nearly a thousand people into a country road where the ruts could barely be identified in the barren fields.

"Si Ko, where are you going?"

Zhao Wuxian looked at the forest full of streams in front of him, and said lightly: "You take the soldiers of Sujuyi to take the avenue, and I will take a shortcut this time and go back from Yunyi to ......" (to be continued.) )
