Chapter 42: The Darkness and Danger of the Stars (Part 1)

In the village, when the Mo family was the first secretary, several carriages from Jin passed through the gates of Songcheng.

In name, these carriages were nominally invited the king of Song to join forces with him to discuss the major event of attacking Qi according to the order of the Marquis of Liehou of Jin.

But if it was really an invitation from Marquis of Jin Lie, no one would listen.

Among these carriages, of course, there are the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, which is the real power of Jin.

At this time, the marquis had not been granted a title. Whether it was an inscription for external or sacrifice, it was still written by Han Zong, Wei Zong, and Zhao Zong, but it could not be called the three marquises of Zhao, Wei and Han.

Later generations often say that the destruction of Jin was too weak in the office, and the weak in the office was too strong in the office.

The Quwo Daiyi incident, which had been in succession for 67 years, caused all the princes of Jin to be killed and injured. The six foreign nobles have taken power to the current three families of Han, Zhao and Wei.

The father of Jin Liehou quietly left the city. He privately met with a woman and was killed outside the city by an ordinary thief who covet wealth. When Jin Liehou arrived, there were only two sacrificial capitals left, and they were completely dependent on Wei Zong.

The above-mentioned crime of killing the head of the family should have been the Emperor Zhou, and the alliance countries jointly fought to maintain the Zhou rituals.

But in this year, the Emperor Zhou emperor was just a decoration. He fought first and then talked about it. After the Emperor Zhou was finished, he went to report to the Emperor Zhou.

The Emperor of Zhou did not dare to say anything, and he might have been happy because no one had been paying homage to the public for many years.

These carriages that invited the alliance walked on the road to the capital of Song State, separated before approaching the palace, and dispersed from the real power of Song State.

The Song State is not like the Jin State, but the king still cannot make arbitrary decisions and needs to discuss with the three families.

However, these three families are all surnamed Zi and are all Dukes of Song. Now they have a small clan and have their own clan, and after all, the meat is rotten in the pot.

The power of the Song State is now the Sicheng Huangzang.

Sicheng is an official position, and Huang is a clan, but it can also be called Dai to the outside world.

This sect was a descendant of Duke Dai of Song hundreds of years ago. Duke Dai of Song had a son named Zi Chongshi, whose courtesy name was Emperor Fu. Later, the barbarians invaded, and Zi Chongshi died on the battlefield against the barbarians with his two sons. Zi Chongshi's grandson was proud of this and used his grandfather's name as Emperor Fu as his clan.

The most noble bloodline is the Duke of the Song Dynasty, so you can also use the posthumous title as the clan, called the Dai clan.

At this time, the surnames are confused, and the official position may be used as the surname, the character may be used as the surname, or even the posthumous title may be used as the surname, which is difficult to describe.

The current emperor's father Zang can be called strange names such as Sicheng Emperor, Huang Zang, Dai Zang, Sicheng Emperor's father, etc.

The carriages of the Han, Zhao and Wei families entered the Dai family's house and presented gifts to explain why someone was there to entertain and rest.

But on the surface, it is still necessary to say that the Marquis of Lie of Jin invited Duke Song Yu Ren to join him.

What happened in more than half a year has been brewing until now, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei have completed military mobilization and are ready to interfere in the civil unrest in Qi.

Gongsun Hui established himself in Linqiu and asked for help from Zhao. However, the real power of the Three Jins is Wei.

There was the wise king Wei Wenhou, the minister of reform, Li Ji, the first person in charge of military affairs in Xihe, Wu Qi, the first person in charge of Hebo, there was Ximen Bao, who governed Hebo in Yecheng, and Le Yang, who ate his son's meat to show his loyalty in the north, and Wei Ji, who could stand alone at the age of twenty.

In addition, Zi Xia was a national teacher, with a lot of talents and mastered the advantages of cultural output. He is truly an invincible person in the world.

Tian Chang of Qi was a family member who had been born in the past. He gave birth to many sons with his concubines and guests. He divided his descendants and controlled most of the land in Qi, but he also left countless disasters after three generations.

Whether it is Xiang Ziniu or Gongsun Hui, they are actually surnamed Chen and are considered to be Tian. Now they are in chaos and their own struggles are in vain.

Emperor Zang knew all these things, so he cared about this alliance, but the king might not care. After all, the king used the power of Chu to restrict these powerful ministers.

In the house, there were candles of insect wax presented by Taoyi merchants. There was no way to use three candle wicks. Several maids knelt there and cut candles at any time.

The lamp is extremely exquisite. There is a big tree with lush branches. Each branch on the tree is supported by a lamp. The lamp plate is just a candle. The dragon winds up on the top of the tree, magpies and birds sing on the branches, and monkeys play. Two shirtless people standing under the tree and throwing fruits to the branches. The little monkey hangs on one arm to ask for food, demonstrating the bronze smelting technology of the Central Plains at this time.

The candlelight was tilted, and the maid kept her breath, fearing that she would make her master unhappy.

Huang Zang kept paced under the candlelight, waiting for his eldest son, Huang Yueling.

This matter is of great importance, and he must discuss it with his son.

When Duke Song restored the country and used the power of the Chu people to suppress the powerful ministers of the internal princes. Being close to Chu has always been the established policy of the State of Song and it was also the only way for Duke Song to maintain his domestic status.

Now that the three sects of Han, Zhao and Wei have attacked Qi and invited the Song Guild to join the alliance, this is exactly what Huang Zang hopes for.

Once he gets into evil with Chu, his power will be greater then and the balance of power within Song will be broken. As for how many people will die in Song State and how many land and cities it will be ceded, that is a trivial matter.

He was walking there for a long time, becoming more and more anxious.

During the day, the Mo people came out all over the nest, and the nobles in the city inquired, and they all knew that something big had happened, so Huang Yueling went to ask.

But when the carriage from Jin State came to Songcheng, major events became the alliance.

In Huang Zang's opinion, there is no need to worry about Mozhe's affairs. Those people will not do anything that threatens them, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the alliance.

When I was anxious, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

After the ceremony, he called him father, which was Huang Yueling.

Huang Zang didn't care about the usual etiquette, so he waved his hand and asked directly: "What happened to Mozhe?"

"Nothing big is happening. A little minister was greedy and wanted to advance to the level of his life, he stole the grain of rice that he called himself Mozhe but was not Mozhe, and his arm was broken by Gong Zaoshi. He was a smart man, only saying that he was greedy."

When Huang Zang heard this, he thought that this was nothing, and it was unclear.

So he didn't ask any more questions and talked about the invitation of the Jinhou to the alliance.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huang Yueling clapped and laughed in front of his father regardless of etiquette, saying, "Father, this is given by destiny!"

Huang Zang was puzzled, but he knew that his son Shi Ge was very thoughtful and was just right to inherit the position of Sicheng in the future. At this time, he showed an ecstatic look, which was not supposed to be.

Seeing him showing joy, he asked, "What do you say?"

Huang Yueling restrained his ecstasy and said, "Father, this is exactly the same as the Mo family's affairs today. I heard from the minister who broke the arm that the Mo family got several kinds of vegetables from strangers overseas. There are three grains, namely mo jade, sweet potato, and potato. Although this name is strange, it is said that they are all auspicious things that produce stones per mu."

Huang Zang was also a smart person. He had been in the Sicheng of Song Kingdom for many years. He maintained his position as Sicheng in the dark places of people's hearts. When he heard the word "three", he immediately understood the key point.

Huang Yueling said again: "Who doesn't know the heart of Han Qian, Zhao Ji, Weiss?"

"In the past, Tang Shu Yu Tongye was granted the country and enjoyed the land of Jin. In the past, someone next to the Jin River got the wheat of two ears, which was auspicious. Tang Shuxian was given to the emperor, and the emperor ordered Tang Shuxian and Duke Zhou to write "Jiahe"."

"The poem "Jiahe" has three verses in total. One verses of King Cheng's words are written by his brother Tang Shu; the other verses of the world's stability and auspiciousness appear in the world; the third verses of Tang Shuyu's title of Jin and he obtained Jiahe, which is in line with the destiny of heaven!"

Speaking of this, Huang Zang had already understood and said happily: "You mean..."

Seeing that his father had already understood, Huang Yueling nodded and said, "Father, everyone knows the hearts of the three sects of Han, Zhao and Wei. When Jin was enfeoffed, there was Jiahe... Now that Jin's government has all belonged to these three families, they will give these three grains as rituals and offer them to the emperors... Isn't this the destiny of heaven?"

"Tang Shu Yu Tongye was conferred on him, Jiahe congratulated him; Han Zhao and Wei emperors were conferred on him, and Sanhe was conferred on him."

"According to the destiny of heaven, and being appointed as the three marquises, will the three sects of Han, Zhao and Wei remember their father's feelings?"

"Weis is powerful, so he uses the sweet potato with the most yield per mu to be the Jiahe of Wei; Zhao Ji is weaker than Wei and stronger than Han, so he uses the potato with the second yield per mu to be the Jiahe of Zhao; Han Qian is weakest, so he uses the black jade stick to be the Jiahe of Han."

"Select the person who is proclaimed and astrological, and create a song: Wei sweet potato, Zhao Tudou, Han Bangzi, three hemps from the sky, the king's title of three marquis, and the destiny of heaven is announced, so you must observe..."

"The three sects will be happy and will definitely be close to me."

"Besides, the three tribes share the political affairs of the Song Dynasty. The emperor takes Chu as a supporter. Now that he rebels in Chu and returns to Jin, the King of Chu will blame the emperor. At that time, he will definitely attack Song. Since the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei are close to me, they will not send troops unless they come forward to the three sects. At that time, will the merit of saving Song belong to my father?"

"In the past, Mozi stopped Chu, and everyone in Song Dynasty knew his name, but he only practiced righteousness but did not like power. If the one who saved Song was his father, what was the situation at this time?"
