Chapter 042
Diqiu is a big city, but it has never experienced such a large-scale construction project as a dynasty capital. The Wei State made a capital with helpless choice.
According to legend, during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Diqiu was the fief of Zhuanxu, the grandson of Huangdi. Later, Zhuanxu inherited the throne and lived in Yang of Pushui. According to custom, the south of the mountain and the north of the water is called Yang. Puyang is in the north of the Pushui. As the name suggests, the name Puyang is very simple.
After Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors, died, he buried in Puyang and piled up soil to make hills, so there was a saying of Diqiu. There are many other names, such as Shangqiu, Chanzhou, Dongjun, Chuqiu, etc. But the most famous one is Diqiu. Even after the Wei State moved its capital, the official had erased Diqiu and changed it to Puyang or Weidu. However, whether it was other vassal states or the Wei people themselves, they all called the capital of Wei State Diqiu. This originated from a deeply rooted idea, originated from the greatest man in this land, Emperor Zhuanxu, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Moreover, Zhuanxu was also the ancestor of the ancestor of the surname "Ji". The monarch of Wei State was Ji Kangshu, his father was King Wen, and his brother was King Wu, and he was a top noble with a strong root. After the founding of Wei State, he did not choose Diqiu, which had a deep influence on the surname "Ji", but chose Chaoge and Shang Dynasty's accompanying capital. This is because Diqiu is a small place...
Well, everyone who has been to big cities knows that even if they have not been to any of the most powerful cities such as Anyi of Wei and Linzi of Qi, even the soldiers of the Guard who have been stationed on the broken walls of Chaoge, the former capital of the Wei Kingdom, can be distinguished. Diqiu is an inequality city. According to the content recorded in the "Zhou Li·Kaogong Ji" compiled by Zhou Gongdan, the king's king has nine city gates, which are 9 miles in radius; the first level of the Duke of the vassal states is 7 miles; the capital of the vassal states such as Hou Bozi dropped to 5 miles in radius.
After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes no longer listened to the King of Zhou, and the Zhou royal family gradually lost the ability to control the princes.
But the size of the city cannot be changed just by wanting to change it. Chaoge is the place where the Shang king works and lives. The area that the city is built, the area that the city is surrounded by the city can only be compared with the size of the Zhou royal city. When Wei State picked up a ready-made royal city, there was no idea of revising it. After repairing it, it was regarded as a capital city. But Emperor Xiqiu is different. Even if there is the name of Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Xi has just dug a tomb in Emperor Xiu. Besides, what is the scale of the city thousands of years ago?
The weak economy of Wei State was unable to create another Chaoge, so he could only change the small city again and again, becoming an embarrassing city where the old city is surrounded by a new city and a new city is surrounded by a royal city.
So the number of city gates is wrong. Not to mention the city gates, even the city walls are not straight. As the descendant of Duke Wei, Gongsun Yang has a sense of trepidation every time he goes out of the city gate.
The guards collecting taxes at the city gate saw a gorgeous carriage with a tall horse. They rushed away the civilians in a hurry, not giving rewards to the nobles, but were afraid of making the nobles angry and holding grudges.
"The city defense is like an ant hole. If this continues, what should the people of Wei protect themselves and what should the country protect themselves?"
Gongsun Yang, who was ill in the second grade, began to speak out shortly after leaving the city gate. Such words were a red line, a bottom line, or an irreparable scar in the court of Wei State. No one dared to easily uncover this scar, making himself unhappy, others unhappy, and the king unhappy.
When the 20-year-old Gongsun Yang did not understand the importance of Mingzhe protecting himself in the officialdom. Faced with a helpless mess, he was anxious.
It can be said that Gongsun Yang has begun to think about the king.
On the contrary, Bian Zibai was in a good mood and looked at the wheat fields in early summer. The weather was beautiful, with clear sky, breeze blowing on his face, and the wheat waves were rustling. At this time, the scenery outside Diqiu City was the most fascinating. He just subconsciously replied: "Hasn't Wei State been protecting the defending country? Perhaps, this kind of protection can last for hundreds of years?"
Wei State?
Bian Zibai received a cold snorting with contempt. Wei State and Wei State, even if the pronunciation is the same, they cannot be distinguished at all. But what is Wei State's identity, rebellion, traitor, and the Tian family of Qi State, all the way. The King of Zhou, who is full of Aduo, is a king who is forced to be forced by usury. But after all, he is still the king! What about his dignity? What about his dignity as a king?
The three families divide Jin, but it has been a matter of recent years. But Kings of Zhou Wei and Kings could not recognize Zhao, Wei and Han as marquis, should they recognize their status as lords?
The forces of these three families are all in Jin State. Once they recognize the status of vassals of Zhao, Wei and Han State, they will tell them that you will recognize them by dividing Jin State.
Once such evil examples are open, once a powerful aristocratic family has developed its strength to replace the king, they may turn their families into countries, and their ministers will no longer be loyal. In just a few years, the Tian family of Qi abolished Duke Kang of Qi and further gained the rule of Qi. Finally, after Duke Kang of Qi's death, the Tian family also completed the operation of transforming the family into countries. It can be said that without the three families, the Tian family may not have the courage to offend the anger of the world and replace the Duke of Qi.
Of course, Tian He, the head of Tian family, paid tribute to King An every year. King An of Zhou was still very grateful to the family. He was involved in a group of ungrateful wolves and finally met someone with a better conscience. Can he not be happy?
It can be said that the life of these two things has opened a shortcut for all ambitious people, a shortcut to the king of a country. I am afraid that Lu Buwei, a businessman from the Defense Kingdom, had such a desire to support the Qin Dynasty Gongsun Yiren.
Faced with such a Wei State, Gongsun Yang had no good face at all. He swung his long sleeves and pulled out a phantom in the air with a whip in his hand and shouted: "Wild, the capital of tigers and wolves, how could he have good intentions?"
The wheels without shock absorbers were happily jumping on the bumpy road, but their butts were almost broken into eight pieces. Bian Zibai had long since seen the leisurely and elegant look of Huang Chengcheng wheat waves. He wrapped the handlebars tightly and begged:
"Brother Gongsun, please show mercy. I really can't stand such bumps."
Gongsun Yang lacks interest. He is a arrogant age and has a hobby of BMW luxury cars. He prefers the wind and pursues the wind. "My brother, are you too stable?" Looking at Bian Zibai's performance on the verge of life and death, Gongsun Yang suffered a great loss.
"Brother Gongsun, let's talk about my business. Didn't we go out of the city just talk about the Nan family? Have you forgotten?" Bian Zibai looked at Gongsun Yang pitifully.
He really couldn't bear the feeling of racing carriages in this era, but instead suffered. He felt like a pocket of noodles, filled with potatoes. The big ones sank down, the small ones jumped up, and there was no feeling of being proud, but his mind was almost jumping out, but it was a real feeling.
"Nan Family!" Gongsun Yang held the reins with one hand, and then elongated the tone meaningfully, which seemed to be deliberately kept insincere: "This family has defected to Gongzi Yu.
Young Master?
Bian Zibai was a little confused. Where did this young master come from? He still knew about the Wei State's regime these days. Among the young masters of Wei State, Gongzixun had the most famous reputation. At the same time, Gongziheng also had a good reputation. In addition, Gongziqi, who caused trouble and liked martial arts, but he had never heard of the young master's origin.
But if there is no origin, the huge Nan clan would not surrender to this inconspicuous young master.
The young master is also the son of the princes and the heir of the king. How could an inconspicuous young master gain allegiance to the top families in the Wei Kingdom?
It is very unreasonable at first, so it is very likely that this young master is not the young master of Wei.
"Not the Prince of Wei?" Bian Zibai said to himself. He did not try to ask, but guessed himself.
The biggest business of the Nan family is slaves, and there are many people coming from Wei, so the identity of this young master, Yu, is about to emerge: "Is it the young master of Wei? Why did his grandfather ask Nan family to make me good friends?"
"Friendship?" Gongsun Yang couldn't help but sarcastic: "You are too proud of your identity. I can guarantee that Gongzi Yu wouldn't know that you are like you, everything is done by the Nan family."
"Impossible! I can't help much. Anyone who understands it knows that I want to be an official in Wei State. Wei Gong is respectful to the wise and humble. How can we be a person with little luck and no righteousness?" Bian Zibai spoke without missing a trace, and he was also pretending to be a fake fist in the void, as if he really wanted to work hard for Wei Shengong.
Just looking at the expression on Gongsun Yang's face, you can tell that he didn't believe it: "Come on, you should say this when you meet the Lord!" After saying that, he sighed and said frustrated: "The stage of Wei State is too small. Although Yang doesn't know where his ambition is. However, Wei State is really unable to realize his ambition. As you said to you, people go to high places and water flows to low places. This depression in Wei State is really not a good place."
"Brother Gongsun is leaving Weiguo?"
"How could I leave Wei State so much? After all, I am still a Gong clan. If I leave Wei State, nothing will be gone." Gongsun Yang sighed: "I mean, Zibai's brother is a talented person, and assisting Wei State is a bad idea, let alone joining the Nan clan? The Nan clan sponsors his brother, and most of them think that his brother is talented and recommended to Gongzi Yu. As long as his brother is valued in Wei State, the Nan clan will inevitably be valued more by Gongzi Yu."
Bian Zibai knew very well about Gongsun Yang leaving Wei State. In history, this guy should have gone to Wei State first and then to Qin State. He helped Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang succeed in reform and defeated Wei State in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for Qin State's hegemony. The ending was similar to that of another celebrity in Wei State, Wu Qi, who offended most of the powerful and wealthy people in Qin State and was eventually killed.
If Bian Zibai's substitution was a charlatan, then he would pinch his fingers and tell Gongsun Yang: "A kind brother cannot be said, but he cannot die well. I may suffer a disaster without a complete corpse."
Even if Gongsun Yang's martial arts value is relatively weak, he will encounter such a charlatan who curses himself for not being able to die well, his martial arts value will surge, and then he presses Bian Zibai to the ground and rubs his life to doubt his life. Fortunately, they are friends, at least on the surface.
The two of them appreciate each other a little. Standing on Bian Zibai's standpoint, he felt that he was so arrogant. Gongsun Yang's kindness was simple, but Bian Zibai was somewhat awe of celebrities. Wang Xu didn't know the name at first and offended him randomly, but then he knew the other party's origin, but he could not recover it. As for the Nan family, Bian Zibai looked down on the other party, and wanted him to surrender, it was probably not that simple: "Brother Gongsun was too worried. I gave the slaves purchased by the Nan family at a higher price than the market price. As for this car, after the Nan family came yesterday, I returned the gift."
Gongsun Yang was deeply impressed by Bian Zibai's reaction, but Bian Zibai's money would probably make him frightened.
After all, the carriage sent by Nanshi was worth only two jujube horses without any color, at least with more than hardware. In addition, the value of a luxury decorative car is very expensive for ordinary literati.
But Bian Zibai was able to give a return gift equivalent to a luxury carriage after only ten days in the officialdom of Weiguo. The amount of money he made was not accurate.
