In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

There will never be a shortage of people in this world who intend to cling to the powerful and flatter those in power. When Xia Yu stood on the high platform of Qi Qi Palace and pointed at Zhao Zhifu who was in power in the Jin Kingdom, before Zhao Zhifu could speak, even Jin Before the ministers of the country, including the ceremonial decree, had time to say it, some scholars pointed at Xia Yu and yelled: "The villain Wuna, in the past, he was in power to quell the civil strife in the uncle, to help the country of the uncle, and to retreat to the north." Rong Di, fight against the barbarians of Wu and Yue in the south, and you have made great achievements in the world, and you are worthy of insulting the ruling power!"

Zhao Zhifu quelled the rebellion of the Zhongxing and Fan clans in the state of Jin 20 years ago, which is known all over the world, and the "Northern Retirement from the Rongdi" in the mouth of the scholar refers to Zhao Zhifu who was killed by the then Martingale, the governor of the Jin State, was oppressed, and had to retreat to the Zhao family fief, turning his full of depression and anger into the north to attack Rongdi.

The Zhao family's fief was close to the grasslands in the north, and the attack on the Rongdi made the Zhao family expand its land thousands of miles. This rapidly expanding fiefdom promoted the prosperity of the Zhao family and became the capital of Zhao Zhifu's subsequent suppression of the Jin rebellion.

Strictly speaking, the "retirement from the north" that this scholar said was Zhao Zhifu's work for his own family, which is not considered to be serving the country, but in the eyes of people who insist on flattery, it is any little advantage, any little Good deeds are magnified and praised tenfold.

The scholar of Shen Zili's family background naturally knew that his benefactor, Shen Zili, was originally from the Zhao family. He wanted to reprimand Xia Yu just now, but he was overwhelmed by others, and he was filled with resentment. He hurriedly said : "In the past few decades, Jin's ministers have continued to fight among themselves. Only when they were in power, they still missed the country of Boguo, suppressed the barbarians of Wuyue, and maintained the hegemony of Jin. Apologize, or Hehe will arrest and kill you right now."

Shen Zili's words were empty, and few people responded.

It is true that before Zhao Zhifu, several rulers of the Jin State only knew about "making money", and even went abroad to ask for bribes when the allies came all the way to the alliance. After Zhao Zhifu came to power, he worked hard to revive the country of Jin. At this time, Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony, and Wu and Yue's national power was rising. The words of Zili's disciples are close to flattery and pretentiousness, but they are disdainful, and none of the scholars present will respond with a word.

Scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period, although eager to be appreciated by the monarch or ministers to display their talents, did not bow their knees. Even those political strategists in the Warring States period also persuaded the monarch with their interests, rather than sycophants.

Scholars in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period were real scholars, who could stand up to the kings.

The scholar-bureaucrats in the Spring and Autumn Period were real scholar-bureaucrats, not slaves.

Scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period still don't know that in the future, their straight spines will be interrupted at this time, they will learn to submit, and they will call themselves "slaves" who speak one sentence very smoothly.

Seeing that no one responded to him, Shen Zili was slightly embarrassed, but the person he threatened, Xia Yu who was threatened by him, paid no attention to him at all.

Xia Yu raised his head and looked at the man as hard as iron on the high platform. The man who was so strong also looked at Xia Yu. He was as hoarse as he was, but he also carried a bit of vicissitudes endowed by old age, and said, "Who are you?"

Xia Yu didn't answer, but glanced at the minister of Jin behind Zhao Zhifu. At this time, Kong Wei was about to make a move. Hearing Zhao Zhifu's question, he quietly got up and walked to Zhao Zhifu's side and whispered for a while. There was a sharpness in the deep eyes, looking at the extremely good-looking young man standing below, and said: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Xia Yu said: "I am a scholar who was invited to fight and fight. Are you going to slaughter the scholars who came here at your invitation?"

Zhao Zhifu remained expressionless, and said, "Are you here to participate in the debate? Which family and faction?"

Xia Yu said: "Licking is a strategist."

Zhao Zhifu said: "Can you call yourself a military strategist after winning a few battles?"

At this time, the expressions of the monarchs of various countries were different, and even the monarch of the Jin Kingdom who was sitting in the first seat looked at Zhao Zhifu in surprise. You must know that the older Zhao Zhifu was, the less talkative he was, and he was almost decisive in his actions. At that time, Zhao Zhifu talked so much with this good-looking young man, how could it not be surprising.

Who is this young man?

This is a question raised in the hearts of the kings of various countries and scholars present here.

Xia Yu didn't seem to notice the probing and speculative eyes of the people around him, and looked at Zhao Zhifu like this, and said, "Of course I can't fight as much as the ruling party. In the ruling class, you have fought all your life and traveled back and forth. There are not many people in this era." I have personally fought as many battles as you, but," Xia Yu paused, looked at Zhao Zhifu calmly, and said, "When you are in power, you have no successor, and Jin has no successor. "

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the state of Jin were so angry that many people had already touched their waists and were about to draw their swords.

Many people in later generations think of Qin as the master of tigers and wolves. In fact, before Qin’s political reform, in the entire Spring and Autumn Period, it was Jin who could be called the master of tigers and wolves.

The state of Jin is a military-oriented country through and through. The nobles of the state of Jin have to start working as officers in the army. If the ministers of the state of Jin do not know how to fight, they will be ashamed to meet people when they go out. In addition, the state of Jin has been a century-old overlord. The so-called hegemony It is the homonym of Bo. The so-called Bo means the elder of the clan, the emperor's steward, and the so-called overlord refers to the person who took charge of the affairs of the world as a steward when the Zhou royal family was weak.

The state of Jin has been the overlord for more than a hundred years. To put it bluntly, it has led the princes of the world to fight for more than a hundred years. Therefore, the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period is an out-and-out military superpower.

Xia Yu is standing here at this time, calling himself a military strategist, and saying that Jin has no successors except Zhao Zhifu, and no one will fight. Is there anything more insulting than this! ?

Among other things, Wei Ju, the son of the Patriarch of the Wei family, was the first to slap the table and scold: "You are crazy, do you think I have no one in Jin?"

Xia Yu glanced at the ministers of the Jin Kingdom, and saw that everyone was angry, even those who didn't show anger on their faces, their complexions were a bit gloomy, including Zhiyao who secretly helped him enter the Qi Palace.

Xia Yu didn't respond to Wei Ju's words, but turned around and went back to her work, ordered Yang Zhisun to hand him a package, and then walked into the hall with the package in her hand, saying loudly: "I am a guest from Xiayuan, and the guest should be the receptionist." , this is a gift from me to the Uncle.”

After speaking, Xia Yu shook off the package, and spread out a thin blanket in the package in the middle of the hall. The blanket was nearly three feet square, with white silk sewn on the inside, and black ink on the white silk was painted with pictures, waiting for everyone to see clearly When the picture was drawn, there were exclamations everywhere.

On the upper stage, the monarchs of all countries are condescending, and the white silk painting is so big that it almost covers the entire hall, and almost everyone can see the picture clearly. The monarch also exclaimed, and even straightened his body and half-kneeled in disregard of etiquette.

It turned out that an unprecedented detailed topographic map of mountains and rivers of various countries was drawn on the white silk: from Beidi in the north, to the South China Sea in the south, to the East China Sea in the east, and to the vast Xirong in the west of Qin State, covering Jin, Qin, Chu, Yue, Qi, Yan , Lu, Song, Wei, Zheng, etc., all the princes of the world are among them.

You must know that the maps of this era are classified as military secrets, and those who are not loyal to the court are not allowed to see them, and this map of the government is actually a detailed map of the mountains and rivers, which is more precise than the maps drawn by other countries. Exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Yu looked at those monarchs who were quite out of character, and the scholars of various countries who were talking a lot, and said: "I will send the map of the four seas, and I dare to ask the monarchs of the countries who would dare to accept it."

One sentence shocked all the people who were discussing, no one dared to speak, and the needles could be heard on the stage.
