Chapter 672: Too popular, what should I do?
Don’t blame Chu Junxiong Zhao for likes to complain. It’s true that Chu State can be stronger, but it has various bad habits that are dragging the edge.
There is another very important reason, that is, King Xiong Shen of the Communist Party of Chu suddenly passed away on the way to hunt, which caused Xiong Zhao to rise to power more uncertainty, and the process was also full of twists and risks.
When Xiong Zhao succeeded to the throne, a group of ghosts in the public clan had too many thoughts, and at one point some of them even wanted to push Xiong to the throne.
Xiong Wei is the second son of King Gong of Chu. He is extremely naughty in human nature. He always does not do serious things with a group of friends, but he has a group of supporters because of this.
The situation at the beginning of his succession was a test for Xiong Zhao. Unfortunately for Chu State, they lost the second "Wuhu Battle", and if they lost, Xiong Zhao had the opportunity to attack a group of ministers.
At present, the imperial magistrate of Chu State is no longer Zi Geng, but has been replaced by Gongziwu as imperial magistrate.
Shortly after Gong Ziwu became the prime minister of Chu, Chu State changed a lot after Xiong Zhao's tough move.
Xiong Zhao selected a group of people who had shown good attitude towards him to take the throne with the reason of stabilizing the people of the country, and dismissed those who had all kinds of thoughts at the beginning of his succession.
After a great purge, the State of Chu immediately launched the third "Wuhu Battle". Fortunately, the King of Chu, Xiong Zhao, won the battle under the personal expedition, otherwise the State of Chu would be in chaos.
The personal victory allowed Chu Junxiong Zhao to firmly hold the throne. The appointment of the new official position disappeared in an instant.
During the new position changes in Chu State, the prince dismissed Rong as the Right Yin, the son Feng as the Grand Sima, the prince Liu Shi as the Right Sima, the prince became the Left Sima, Qu Dao as Mo Ao, the prince Zhuishu as the Zhen Yin, and Qu Dang as Lian Yin. They became the powerful people of the "new dynasty".
These various "Yin" and "Mo Ao" official titles are unique to the State of Chu, and to some extent can be used to prove that the civilization system of Chu is different from that of the Central Plains.
In addition, the "Mo Ao" was originally the highest official position of the State of Chu as a minister, but later changed the King Wu of Chu (reigned from 740 BC to 690 BC).
How about Xiong Wei who failed to succeed in taking office? He was not killed and exiled to Yunmengze.
"The people of Jin have arrived, and the alliance platform can be established." Chu Jun Xiong Zhao still failed to go to the Jin army camp.
How could a group of ministers from Chu State let their king play like that? It was not because they were worried that the safety of their king would not be guaranteed when they went to the Jin army. It was mainly because it was too embarrassing to do that.
In fact, if the king of a country goes to the enemy, who will do anything to the king of a country who is sent to the door except for the loss of mind? Not to mention Xiong Zhao is still the king of Chu.
Will the country surrender if it uses deceitful means to control the head of a country? Not to mention the modern "temporary workers" who rely on elections to rise to power, there are too few examples of captive kings of a country in the feudal era surrendering the whole country. At most, there will be situations like "Wanyan Gou".
Using despicable means? What is more likely to happen is that the country that was "kidnapping" in the head has made the leader rise and fall to his life.
Of course, usually the hard work is just a temporary moment. If the new leader takes office, it should defend his "victory fruits", try to show his attitude and make an intention. Next, enter the big drama of verbal trouble, otherwise you will really save the old leader? When the old leader is rescued, who will decide the country at that time.
Chu Junxiong Zhao mentioned the alliance platform just now?
During the Spring and Autumn Period, no matter in the front, middle and later stages, the "Union Platform" prop is indeed needed.
They arrived first, and were the party initiated by the alliance. Why didn’t they build the alliance platform before the Jin people arrived? The reason is that building the alliance platform is also a way to show national strength.
The newly arrived Jin people were logging wood to build camp.
A large group of people rushed out of the Chu people camp. They led horses and cows, and some vehicles were piled with many tools needed for civil engineering, while large civil engineering equipment was carried or carried by humans.
How should the Alliance Platform be built? In fact, it is to constantly get soil, layer after layer of rammed earth, slowly rammed it.
Building a league platform is a test of collaboration and division of labor. The better the manpower and material resources are used, the shorter the construction period will naturally be. Then it is to verify the quality of the league platform.
In modern times, to go to a certain place where the alliance was held in the Spring and Autumn Period, maybe a certain mountain bun was a alliance platform more than two thousand years ago. (Not a joke, it has been confirmed by archaeologists)
Of course, the tombs of many emperors and famous ministers have been tested by time. No matter how high the tombs were in the past, they will become a mountain bun after hundreds or thousands of years.
Lu Wu lived a strange time during this period. It was not that something happened to Yin, or that something happened to Jin, nor that he was not feeling well. It was mainly because people from Chu would send all kinds of food at meal time.
The Chu people who delivered the food to Lu Wu's side explained it very clearly. Chu Junxiongzhao specially ordered people to make it in detail and then send it to Lu Wu for tasting.
What's going on!?
Many bronzes are used to store food. The workmanship of bronzes is obviously used in court, so it is not unusual to have the appearance of "cauldron".
The "Qing" of Jin State is qualified to enjoy the "die" to serve food, and it cannot be interpreted as Chu Jun's Xiongzhao playing with the method of throwing dirty water.
In terms of food, the catering characteristics of the Chu State are mainly based on the food. Due to the lack of cooking methods today, they are inseparable from the tricks of "stewing", "boiling", and "steaming".
Today, Chu Junxiong sent someone to give Lu Wu a steamed fish.
One fact needs to be understood, that is, the nobles in the Central Plains generally do not eat fish and believe that fish is the most "cheap" among all meat.
Why? It’s hard to say. Maybe it’s because the fish has thorns or it’s impossible to remove the fishy smell?
"I know Chu people like to eat fish. Yesterday I sent a steamed fish to Chu Jun as a gift, and today he also got a steamed fish?" Lu Wu was stunned when he looked at the steamed fish that could not be called.
The reason why my expression was a little fascinated was that the fish was quite big, and a hilt of a sword stretched out from the fish's mouth.
There seems to have been somewhere to see Lu Wu in this dish? It was not after coming to this "world" and in any film and television work "in the last life".
In that film and television work, the protagonist and supporting characters are from Chu, and the background is that the Qin Empire is about to collapse, and they are in a group party in a position called "Hongmen".
Shi Yi got the consent to enter the account, and what he saw was Lu Wu studying it in a plate of steamed fish.
"The Lord Chu gave you food again?" Shi Yi gradually turned from envy to madness to numbness.
There are precedents in history when the king of a country "passes vegetables" to others.
However, the "transmitting" of each other is limited to the "jun" and "jun", and there is only one time, so how can I send it in different ways every day?
Lu Wu said with a look of laughter and crying, "I don't know why Chu Hou is like this."
Chu Junxiong Zhao did this again and again, without saying a reason every time, causing Lu Wu to die and make many brain cells to make speculations.
The other nobles in Jin State were not thinking about why Chu Jun Xiong Zhao had those operations. The conclusion they came to was that Chu Jun wanted to pry Jin Jun Ji Biao's corner.
The conclusions they came to are not funny.
Similar things happened too many times in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there have been successful examples.
So, Lu Wu can not only enjoy the delicacies sent by Chu Junxiong every meal, but also helped Jin Jun Ji Biao to remedy it, and he would also deliver food to Lu Wu at every meal.
It's interesting that the monarchs of the two overlord countries compete with each other.
In the era of unification, Lu Wu would either start a crime immediately or wait for death!
It is now the Spring and Autumn Period. When this situation occurs, Lu Wu not only does not have to worry about it, but also has to be proud of it.
Lu Wu reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out. As soon as he moved, the Sai on the other side had already made a sound to stop it, but Lu Wu's movement was too fast and it was too late.
A sword with a bronze light was held in Lu Wu's hand. He looked at Shi Yi with confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shi Yi pointed to the steamed fish plate.
The fish placed on the huge copper plate had already scattered and turned into square pieces of fish meat, and there was no fish bone.
It turns out that the sword is used to fix the fish?
"You should not draw your sword too early when eating this food." Shi Yi looked sad.
hold head high!
Then what?
Shi Yi said again: "Have you ever heard that 'Enough food is fine and stew is fine'?"
Of course Lu Wu has heard of it!
This sentence is recorded in "The Analects of Confucius. Township". The whole sentence is: You must change your food at a vegetarian level, and you must move to your seat. You must never get tired of the fine food and the meat will never get tired of fine food.
While savoring the bronze sword, Lu Wu listened to Shi Yi's reasons.
It turns out that this kind of steamed fish should start with its tail. Every time I put the chopsticks on, I have to test my eyesight to see if I can pick up the fish that has been cut but cannot see the pattern. I will eat it until the sword body is exposed and then appreciate the sword hidden in the fish belly.
This bronze sword does not contain the hilt, the length is about twenty-five centimeters and the width is about eight centimeters. It is more suitable to call it a wide-faced dagger.
Its sword body has patterns on both sides, not only engraved on the back, but is a pattern formed during forging.
"This sword is the Fish Intestine Sword." Shi Yi still understands a lot?
However, it is said that the history of the Lao Fan family is longer than that of the Yin family, and it is normal that Shi Yi knows more strange knowledge than Lu Wu.
Lu Wu looked strange and asked, "Yuyan Sword?"
The Fish Intestine Sword is very famous in later generations!
By the way, isn’t the Fish Intestine Sword the Sword of Jue Yong that is the only one who can stab Wang Liao? What should Chu Junxiong asks Lu Wu to do this???
However, later generations could only peek at the tip of the iceberg from limited documents, thinking that something very strange might have been a bad product in ancient times.
Zhu Zhushu Wang Liao, maybe that dish requires a sword to be hidden in the fish's belly, because this thing is too legendary, so the Fish Intestine Sword is used to leave its name in history?
According to some documents, the ancients had a powerful tool specifically used to eat fish. This is reflected in a culture of eating "cashita".
What did Lu Wu find on that sword?
