spring and autumn officials

Chapter 14

Zheng Guo's send-off team was extremely grand, starting from Zheng Guo's Old Zheng City, it was actually not far from Luoshi.

In ancient times, the state of Zheng was called "China", because the geographical location of the state of Zheng was in the middle of the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so it got its name.The state of Zheng is adjacent to Luoshi, the city of King Zhou, and the west of Zheng State is bordered by the east of the Zhou royal family. If you hurry up, you can arrive there in a few days, but not now, they are seeing off their relatives, so naturally they have to walk steadily and slowly.

Furthermore, when the army is marching out, such a huge army has hundreds of carts alone, plus two hundred carts, such a huge team naturally has to move slowly.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, productivity was relatively low, and the population of the vassal states was also small. There was no storybook written in later generations, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops. 20 people.If a country can have 5000 soldiers and horses, it is definitely a big country among big countries, and its back is straight!

In this day and age, when comparing a person to gold and wealth, he would use "the body of a thousand chariots". A chariot and four horses are one chariot, and a thousand chariots is an exaggerated rhetoric. Many chariots and horses mean that a country with a thousand chariots can be obtained. That's big country.

This time Zheng Guo sent Zheng Ji to get married, hundreds of carts transported the dowry, and [-] carts followed the team.

Of course...

Looking at the vast convoy of black-armored warriors, Qi Lu sighed in his heart. This Zheng Bo's heart may not just want to marry a nobleman's sister.

The army set out with a lot of baggage, and when the sun was setting, the order had already been sent down, and the whole army camped in place. Today, I am afraid that they will spend the night in the suburbs, and the tents were quickly set up. set up a tent.

Qi Lu originally wanted to transport the puppy son to his camp, but unfortunately, someone over there came to talk to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu, the young concubine, is a leisurely official position, in fact, there is not much use for it. The reason why Ji Zhong promoted him to be the young concubine was to appease Zheng Ji, and also took Qi Lu as a "hostage", so that Zheng Ji could marry him obediently. Master Luo is going.

But Qi Lv always bears the name of the young concubine, and someone came to spread the word that the monarch personally appointed the great pedestrian Gongsun Yan to ask the young concubine to go over and talk.

This trip to see off the relatives, don't look at the glamor of the little gentleman, but in fact, the little gentleman is not the "top leader" who sent off the relatives this time. To put it bluntly, he and Qi Lv are essentially equals, both are young bastards.

Because they are not going to fight, the team does not have a commander, but a big pedestrian who was personally appointed by the king of Zheng Guo.

Daxingren is equivalent to the current diplomatic ambassador. Many celebrities in ancient times have been Daxingren. The famous Zhang Qian under the command of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a Daxingling and was ordered to go to the Western Regions.

Don't look at Da Xingren as officials and senior officials, and their grades are not very high, but everyone who belongs to Da Xingren must be a trusted confidant of the monarch and the most trustworthy person. Otherwise, how can you provoke diplomatic affairs?

The diplomacy in the Spring and Autumn Period was very chaotic. More than 100 princes and states were disturbed. Maybe a single sentence would cause a war. .

How can such an important position fall on the head of the little gentleman?Even if his uncle was the prime minister of Zheng Guo, who was under one man and above ten thousand people, Uncle Zheng would not be so confused.

Now, the one who holds the position of Da Xingren is Gongsun Yan, the younger brother of Zheng Guojun, Wusheng's clan.

The word Gongsun is not a surname, but a title that clearly shows one's identity. Just like the son, in this era, "Gongsun" is not something that can be crowned on the head casually.

This Gongsun Yan is the eldest father of Zheng Bowusheng, who is the grandson of the grandfather of the current king of the state of Zheng. He is exactly the same generation as Zheng Bowusheng.

Gongsun Yan is the descendant of Zheng Guo's public family, in other words, he is a nobleman. It is not the same as offering sacrifices to the little gentleman. The uncle of offering sacrifices to the young gentleman is the state minister of Zheng Guo, but Jizhong was not from the public family, but relied on his own. The ability to climb to the current status of the Qing doctor, so the little gentleman is the descendant of the Qing clan.

The Gong clan and the Qing clan can be easily understood at a glance, high and low are natural, and naturally Gongsun Yan is superior to others.

This Gongsun Yan is the darling of God. Not only is his reincarnation much more accurate than others, but he is also capable of literary and military skills, bow and archery, military etiquette, and all of them are proficient. Even his appearance is said to be miraculous. , even in the whole world, in the land of Emperor Zhou, there is absolutely no more handsome man than Gongsun Yan.

If this boasting is said, many people who listen to the wind and rain will think that Zheng Guogong's family is bragging, but Qi Lu is the first to believe it when he hears the three words "Gongsun Yan".

Why?Naturally, because Qi Lu is a "comer", he has read more history than people of this era.

This Gongsun Yan's name is Yan, but in fact he also has a name that is more widely known to later generations, and that is his character - Zidu.

The big pedestrian who sent off the relatives this time was one of the famous top ten beauties in ancient times... Gongsun Zidu!

"There is Fusu in the mountains, and Hehua in Xi. If you don't see Zidu, you will see madness."

The mountain is full of lush Fusu mulberry trees, and the pond is full of delicate lotus flowers.The woman didn't see a handsome man like Zidu, but she saw you, a madman.

The "Book of Songs" once used the word "Zidu" to represent a handsome man, which shows how representative the beauty of Zidu was in ancient times.

Not only the "Book of Songs", but also "Mencius" has a saying, "As for Zidu, no one in the world knows its beauty. Those who don't know the beauty of Zidu have no eyes."

There is no one in the world who doesn't know how handsome Zidu is. If you don't know how handsome Zidu is, then you must be someone who doesn't have eyes.

The handsomeness of Zidu has been passed down in history so miraculously that Qi Lv has no choice but to believe it, but when mentioning this grandson, Zidu, besides being handsome and martial arts, there is also an idiom.

——A stab in the back.

Although God loves Gongsun Zidu, but Gongsun Zidu is not without flaws. It is said that this Gongsunzi is handsome, born in aristocrats, and has a double collection of cultural relics, so it is inevitable that his eyes are higher than the top, very arrogant, and a little... Careful .

According to historical records, when Zheng Bowei was born to attack Xu, he sent Ying Kao Shu as the main general, and his younger brother, Gongsunzi, as the deputy generals. The factors all fell in love with Ying Kao Shu's chariot, so when there was a dispute, they held grudges, and waited until Ying Kao Shu When he was victorious, he shot and killed Ying Kao Shu, who was a colleague.

The allusion of backstabbing and hurting people comes from "Zuo Zhuan", but the authenticity cannot be fully believed. The grandsons are all descended from Zheng Guogong's family. Car and shoot Uncle Ying Kao?

Qi Lv thinks that it is not really because of a cart. Looking at the rule of the princes, in addition to the chaos between countries, there are also internal strife within the country. The dispute between the public clan and the Qing clan has existed since ancient times. Uncle represents the Qing faction of Zheng Guo at that time, while Gongsun Zidu represents the ruling faction of Zheng Guo's Gong clan.

No matter how you say it, this Gongsun Yan is not easy to mess with. When Qi Lu heard that Gongsun Yan was looking for him, he agreed, "Please report to the great pedestrian, and Lu will go over here."

The person who sent the message left quickly, Qi Lu couldn't carry the little dog back to the camp at this moment, thinking about it, and was afraid that the little dog would run around if left alone, this place is no better than home, if it runs around, I'm afraid There is a fear of life.

Qi Lu squinted his eyes in thought, moved his eyes slightly, and his eyes instantly brightened. Prince Lin was held in Qi Lu's arms, and suddenly his eyes lit up, but his heart felt cold, and he crawled on his back inexplicably. There was a chill, almost goosebumps, Qi Lu thought of another bad idea.

Sure enough, a bad idea.

With his son in his arms, Qi Lu came to the corner of the camp, and when he got closer, he heard dog barks of "Aooooooo!", "Wow, woof, woof!" As I said before, this team also brought some one-in-a-million hounds, ready to give it to Prince Lin who didn't like treasures or women.

Therefore, there are special dog raising officials in the team. In this era, they are called dog people. When the camp is set up, the dog people also unload all the dog sheds on the cart and put them in the corner. They will feed them with meat after a while. hound.

Qi Lu walked over with the little dog in his arms, and the dog man saw Qi Lu at a glance. Although he didn't know him, he saw Qi Lu wearing the official robe of a young bastard, which was much higher than his rank, and immediately smiled and said: "Young bastard, do you have any orders?"

Qi Lu smiled very amiably, and said: "There is a puppy here in Lu, I wonder if the dog can put him in a cage and take care of him for a while, and Lu will come to pick him up when he turns around."

When Prince Lin heard this, the alarm bells rang in his heart, what?Qi Lu is going to put himself, the dignified quasi-emperor, in the dog cage?

"Aww! Wow—"

"Wang Wang!"

I don't know if it's because the little dog is too small, and its whole body exudes a freshness that is still childish. When Prince Lin appeared, the hounds locked in the dog cage instantly boiled up.Although the dog cage was strong, the hounds still tilted their heads, showing their fangs, drooling sticky, biting and scratching the cage like greedy eyes.

The little dog's eyes widened, his antennae tail was stuck in a daze, and he subconsciously leaned back into Qi Lu's arms, holding Qi Lu's hand with the paw pads of his two small paws, and refused to enter the dog at all. Cage, he kept running up, his dark eyes looked at Qi Lu pitifully, and he screamed "Aw... Aow..." in his throat.

Qi Lu stroked Prince Lin's "dog's head" twice, showed a kind old father's smile, and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, Dad will be back in a while, you just treat this as a nursery school."

The little dog couldn't understand what Qi Lu said at all, what kind of nursery school, "Aww! Aww!"

"Ow!"

Prince Lin: Qi Lu!don't go!

"Wow wow wow!"

Prince Lin: I ordered you to come back!

"Woof! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Prince Lin: You little official, you put the widow in a dog cage!
