It was now the middle of February in the second year of the war (497 BC), and it was a good time to use troops after spring ploughing.
The 15,000 troops of the Zhao clan, plus the 10,000 laborers recruited in Hanoi, had already crossed the river, and without the intervention of Qi and Zheng, it would not be difficult to defeat the remaining remnants of the 10,000-strong soldiers of the Wei Kingdom. However, the commander of the guards, Wang Sun Jia, was very smart, he chose to avoid the battle, he hid in various cities and did not come out, and it was a troublesome thing to capture them one by one, Zhao Wuxian has always been a little worried about the war on the Western Front, hoping that this side can be quickly resolved.
However, if you want to solve the problem of defending the country quickly, you want to think about it simply, but it is a little troublesome to do. Before Zigong left, he solemnly said to him that Wei Ke should not be lightly attacked, let alone destroy his society, because although Wei Guo is absurd, he is assisted by some virtuous ministers, and they are the cornerstone of Wei Guo's survival.
Among them, there are three most important ministers, as the so-called: "Uncle Zhong governs the guests, Zhu Tuo governs the temple, Wang Sun Jia governs the army, the husband is like this, ridicule his funeral?" ”
Wei Linggong was able to keep the society in the spring and autumn world, all thanks to these three people. Zhong Shuyu is Kong Yu, this person is Wei Houyuan's son-in-law, smart and studious, and very modest, and he is also a pillar of talent.
Speaking of the name Kong Yuan, few later generations know it, but when it comes to his posthumous nickname "Kong Wenzi", everyone knows it, and most people can continue to recite it: "Why does Kong Wenzi mean Wen Ye?" Zi said: Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask. It is also a text. ”
This Confucius is the Confucius who was very much praised by Confucius. Although this hole has nothing to do with Pikong, Kong Qiu is a remnant of Yin Shang with the surname of Zi. And Kong Yu is a descendant of Nanyan surnamed Yao, who joined the guard and became a doctor after the fall of Nanyan.
There are many nobles in the country, but there is no Shiqing, who has not been inherited for hundreds of years, there are only some small and medium-sized nobles, and after the collapse of the Ning family and the Sun family, Kong Yuan's territory is the largest.
Therefore, while using soldiers to conquer, Wuxian can only support Kuai as a puppet and recruit the nobles and people who defend the country, in order to achieve "a soldier who surrenders without a fight".
However, the little nobles of the patriotic country heard the wind and fell a lot. Only the big nobles and famous wise men rarely come to vote, and it is also because Zhao Wuxian fought too hard to defend the country a few years ago, which nobleman's territory has not been occupied by him? For example, Puyi in Punan is the fief of the Kong family.
So it's impossible for that Kong Yu to have no opinion on Zhao Wuxian, but on the other hand, the territory he lost is also bait to lure people to the bait.
So Wuxian said to Kuai Chen: "I heard that Wei Jun and Wei Guogong's sister and brother have a deep relationship, and Wei Jun has interceded for Jun many times after being expelled from the country, so he is disgusted by the old Wei Hou, and Kong Yu is Jun's brother-in-law. If he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I am willing to return Puyi and the corn money and silk that the Kong family has lost in the past few years! ”
Kuai Yan looked embarrassed: "I do have a good relationship with my brother-in-law, but since I ran away, I have not been in contact with him. Not to mention come to my aid...... However, my sister often wrote quietly to show concern, and said that no matter what my father did, her relationship with my sister and brother would not change. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely help. In front of Zhao Wuxian. He subconsciously didn't dare to call himself a lonely man.
Zhao Wuxian smiled: "It is enough for Jun to have a connection with the princess of Weiguo, if the princess is suspicious." How can Kong be exempt? I heard that the old Wei Hou is narrow-minded, and his favorite Song Zichao and Kong Yuan are not very harmonious, as long as it is announced to the outside world that the king is waiting for Kong Yu at the seat of Chu Qiuxu's government, I expect that in a few days, he will be forced by the old Wei Hou to flee in a hurry! ”
……
Emperor Qiu, because in ancient times the emperor lived in Zhuan, so it is called Emperor Qiu, because it is in the north of Pushui, so it is also called Puyang, the country has moved the capital here for a century and a half, and the population of Sangjian Pushang is dense, there are more than 10,000 households! The degree of prosperity is no less than that of the old capital Chaoge.
The palace of the Wei Kingdom is located on the east bank of the big river, looking at the mountains and mountains from afar, it is very magnificent, which is not comparable to the small palace of Chuqiu. Because the monarchs of the past dynasties couldn't do anything else, the pleasure was very set, and it seemed to be sealed in Yinxu, so they learned the absurdity and happiness of the Yin people as they were. This is even more true of the monarch Wei Hou Yuan of this generation, and the sound of the magnificent new stage on weekdays is endless all night.
But in the past half a month, Wei Houyuan has not even been in the mood to listen to music, because every day there will be countless emergencies and reports from the west: Zhao Jun has arrived in Yingze, Zhao Jun has arrived in Tanyuan, Zhao Jun has crossed the river, and Zhao Jun has captured Chuqiu...... These bad news were written on silk cloth or slips, filling Wei Hou's case several piles, making his liver hurt at a glance.
But in contrast, it was the news that came out today that made him thunderous the most.
"Rebel! Not only did he help the Zhao family to make enemies with the widows, but he also usurped his position in Chuqiu, in the palace and temple of Duke Wen, and asked me to abdicate quickly on the grounds of defending the country...... He can't do it when I'm dead! ”
Wei Houyuan is also in his fifties, the gray hair on his head is gradually growing, and his perennial lewd body has also been hollowed out, very weak, and he is so angry with his son that he can't do it, and after yelling a few times, he collapsed and sat on the couch gasping for breath.
"The king is angry, the king is angry."
The three pillars of the defense were not in the palace: Wang Sun Jia was leading the Wei army to avoid losses in the battle with the Zhao army; Zhu Tuo prayed to the ancestors of the country to bless them through this difficulty; Kong Yu, on the other hand, was stationed in the pavilion and negotiated with the envoys of Qi, Jin, and Zhou in order to obtain their help.
So only the minister Mi Zi was left by Wei Hou Yuan's side, and he had no idea for a while, after all, when his father was still alive, he had never heard of the prince's blatant accession to the throne since ancient times, so he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only sigh with Wei Hou Yuan.
Although Wei Hou Yuan didn't like Kuai, he didn't expect him to do this kind of thing, and scolded angrily and angrily: "This son has been unscrupulous since he was a child, when the widow asked Yan Yan, a native of Lu for him, to be the Taifu, Yan Yan said to Yu Boyu that Kuai's virtue is very poor, difficult to teach, and sooner or later he will do things that ignore the law and etiquette, and endanger the Weiguo Society...... I didn't expect this to come true. ”
After Wei Hou was angry for a while, the ruthlessness in his heart came up, and he said viciously: "I knew this was the case. He should not have been expelled from the country in the first place, and he should have killed his relatives in righteousness. Slash him with a sword!
As an extremely narrow-minded monarch, Wei Hou didn't plan to just leave it at that. He asked Mi Zibian to find out who was in the party to support Dai Kuai, although these people fled, but there are always family members and relatives who remain in Diqiu, he must severely punish these rebels, let the people know that there is only one monarch to defend the country! A king who lives and dies!
So in a few days, there was a climax of arrests in Diqiu City, and people were arrested and imprisoned every day, and many people who were close to Kuai'an "******" in the past were beheaded in Dongshi.
On the third day. More specific news came, including the list of "100 officials" of the Chuqiu regime......
"Kong Yu!?"
Wei Houyuan stared at the black letters on the silk book, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Kong Yu is the eldest son-in-law of Wei Hou and one of his most trusted people, but his name appears in the list of secretaries of Kuai, and his identity is the highest "dangguo"!
"Even Kong Yu wants to rebel against the orphans? Just for a throne, in order to be the ruler of the new monarch? ”
In the Song Dynasty, when Meng Zhu was sentenced to corruption by Zhao Wuxian, the prince of the Song Kingdom had a grudge against Kong Yu, and he had no chance to separate the pair of uncles on weekdays, but now he has a handle. Immediately, he said in front of Wei Hou.
"Your Majesty, Kong Yu had a close relationship with Duanmu Ci and others, the cadre of the Zhao family, and after Kuai Yu left, he also had secret contacts with Kong Yuan. Communication is intensive. There are still people who come to denounce today, saying that the Kong Mansion seems to have received a merchant in silk clothes from the west, and I am afraid that it is the Zhao envoy who came from Chuqiu! ”
Wei Houyuan pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Not bad." Bo Ji has a very good relationship with her brother Kuai, and Kuai is out of the way. Bergi pleaded for him repeatedly, but was reprimanded several times by Lone and left after being angrily reprimanded. also cried and said that instead of staying in Diqiu, it was better to go with Kuai. Could it be that Kong Yu listened to her words beside the pillow, and he also had a heart of disobedience, after all, the Zhao family is powerful......"
Doubt is like a germinated seed, under the fertilization and watering of the Song Dynasty, under the shadow of Kuai's betrayal, it grows more and more vigorously in Wei Hou's heart, and finally blinds reason and patience.
"Come on, go and bring Kong Yu and Bo Ji here, and I want to interrogate them face to face!"
Mi Zi went as promised, and took the guards of the palace to make the streets and alleys of Diqiu jump again, they drove straight to the Confucian Mansion, knocked on the door for a long time but no one came to open it. Mi Zi said that it was not good, and after knocking it open, there were only concubines left in the mansion who were ignorant and didn't know what was going on, but the Kong couple and their son Kong Yan had long since disappeared......
……
He is a well-known sage in the country, very decent, and has won the trust of Wei Houyuan. At that time, when the safety of the Patriotic Society was in danger, in order to make a contribution, he actually handed over all the small number of clan soldiers to Wang Sunjia, who unified the army, and even funded his family wealth, bought ordnance armor and shields everywhere, and constantly returned to the territory to recruit the township party to come to Diqiu to prepare for the upcoming siege battle.
Today, he entered the city from the south gate of Diqiu, and when he was about to enter the city gate, he saw a team of chariots and horses hurrying out of this direction.
So Yu Boyu stopped the car in the middle of the road, so angry that the emperor smoked from the seven orifices, and was about to beat with a whip, but was stopped by the person in the car, who lifted the curtain and stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that it was an acquaintance, so he was relieved.
The man was over thirty years old, his eyebrows were solemn, his half-foot beard was black and oily, and he was neatly combed, it was Kong Yu. It's just that he was in a hurry, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his retainers were fully armed, and they kept looking back at the back, as if they were afraid of the pursuers.
Kong Yu asked with a dry smile, "Boyu, what does this mean?" ”
Yu Boyu asked rhetorically: "Ziming, where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to go out of the city on the orders of the king, Ziming hurry up and get out of the way, I have something urgent......"
Lu Boyu frowned, not giving an inch, "Zhao Bing may come to besiege the city at any time, Zi Ming is the doctor of the country, and he left in a private car at this time, is he afraid of the enemy?" It's not like you're normal! ”
At the same time, he saw a child with the horn come out of the carriage, and looked out curiously, but was pulled back by the people inside, and the woman reprimanded him.
This Kong Yu even brought out his wife and daughter Weiguo and his son, and Lu Boyu felt more and more strange about this matter.
"I know that Bo Yu is not a person who deceives the dark room, but I am also forced to ......"
Now, Kong Yu can only tell the truth, so he sent the Zhao family and Kuai Shen envoys to him, and at the same time spread the news that Kuai Yu, who was usurping the throne, kept his ruling position and waited for him. So Wei Hou was furious and wanted to send someone out to take it, but fortunately, Kong Yu and his wife also had eyeliner in the palace, and learned the news in advance.
"If it is framed, Ziming will enter the palace calmly, and make it clear in front of the king, won't you confirm the rumors when you escape?"
"I can't tell......" Kong Yu looked unlucky, "My wife does have a correspondence with Kuai Yu, and the letter also joked that after a hundred years of king, if Kuai Yu wants to return to the country as a king, Kong should help him, these things have been submitted to the monarch's case for some reason, and there is a Song Zichao slandering, so it is not clear at all." ”
"Did you send someone to do it? In order to divide the monarch and ministers! ”
Kong Yu shook his head and sighed: "Your Excellency is suspicious, if I don't want to be a prisoner, it's better to flee back to the territory first!" ”
Speaking of which, since Kong Yu is not going to defect to the enemy, it is not easy for Yu Boyu to stop him, but he just promised Kong Yu that he would enter the palace to explain it to him.
After watching Kong Yu and his party go farther and farther, Yu Boyu turned his head and saw Mi Zibian's beautiful and handsome face, but now it was shrouded in dark clouds.
"Doctor, did you want to be guilty of the same crime as you let go of the culprit?"
Yu Boyu tidied up his clothes and said calmly: "Kong Yu has no intention of betraying the king, this is just a misunderstanding. “
"The evidence is conclusive, who would believe that Kong is innocent?"
"I will persuade the monarch, please take me into the palace and explain to the monarch!"
……
Half an hour later, Lu Boyu dragged his heavy steps and walked out of the palace.
He is no longer facing Wei Houyuan, who was expelled from the country by the rebellious ministers back then, but can bravely and calmly wait for things to change in the suburbs of the national capital, but a suspicious old man who suffers from gains and losses and feels that anyone around him may betray. He indiscriminately scolded Lu Boyu, and then asked Song Zichao to send someone to Suona again, and he must arrest the Kong family.
"Whoever dares to betray the widow must die!" Wei Hou Yuan is like an old cat who has been sick for a long time, and can only rely on intimidating grinning teeth to maintain his prestige.
Lu Boyu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Now that the Zhao family is approaching, but the monarch has destroyed himself, is the defense of the country really going to die?" ”
……
At the same time, as the color of the western sky turned as bright red as congealed blood, Kong Yuan, who was resting by a stream, heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching. His face turned pale, and when he stood up, he drew the long sword at his waist, and stood upright with his cronies and retainers by the carriage carrying his wife and children.
However, it was not chariots that were pursued, but solitary horses from the other direction, tall horses peeking out from the end of the road, and knights in black and black armor sat in the saddles, with stirrups on their feet and swords in their hands, and they were majestic.
Zhao Wuxian's cavalry general Yu Xi spotted Kong Yu and his party, and he and more than fifty cavalry scouts behind him slowly emerged from the dust raised by the army......
