Chapter 2 Zhao Dun is about to die
Wei Xiang bowed to his cousin Wei Jiang: "I have met the Lord."
The feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty was basically the same as that of the Middle Ages in Europe, and it can be said to be a veritable "feudal state and founding a country".
The fiefs of various countries are states, and the princes are kings.
The nobles and officials were granted the title of family and the nobles and officials were the title of family king. Therefore, when Wei met the nobles and the title of family king, they would be called the lord and perform the etiquette of ministers.
"Book of Rites: The Great" says: "In ancient times, those who wanted to make clear virtues of the world first govern the country; those who wanted to rule the country first, they would first govern the family." The "family" and "country" in this sentence refer to the fiefs of nobles and officials and princes.
Wei Jiang looked at Wei Xiang and smiled: "Young brother, you are all your family, why bother to be polite? Let's sit down."
The smile of the sect leader is quite sincere.
Wei Xiang greeted his father Wei Qi and his third uncle Wei Ke again.
My father looked not very good-looking and said coldly: "Isn't jumping into the well today?"
Wei Xiang coughed and said seriously: "I'm going to tell my father that when my son was basking in the sun today, he suddenly saw a dragon coming in the air, which made him suddenly enlightened. He was no longer the naughty Wei Xiang of the past."
The father took a deep breath, reached out toward the table in front of him, and held a foot of the table.
After a crisp break, the father jumped up and held the freshly baked table toward Wei Xiang.
"I beat you to death, an indecent rebellious son!"
Wei Xiang was shocked and one of them flashed to Wei Ke on the other side: "Uncle San save me!"
Uncle Wei Ke quickly stood up and stopped his father: "Brother Zhong, why should he be so impatient? Let me hear what Xiang'er said first. Maybe he really has an idea."
The father held a small table leg that looked like a dagger and said viciously: "I don't know what evil this rebellious son was. He either jumped into the river or jumped into the well every day. Now he is talking about the dragon. It seems that he really has to invite a witch to do it!"
Wei Xiang stretched out his head from behind Uncle San and shouted, "Father, that's for... Forget it, it's better not to mention it. But Xu's affairs are really an idea and will never deceive his father. Uncle San and the lord are also the lord."
The Lord Wei Jiang, who was sitting in the head, looked at his cousin and his cousin's farce with laughter and cry, and coughed, "Uncle Zhong, let me talk about it first."
As the third lord of the Wei family, Wei Jiang's father, Wei Daozi, died long ago. It would be impossible for the Wei family to be fully supported by the two uncles Wei Qi and Wei Ge.
Therefore, these core figures of the Wei family are very close, and this situation is not the first time that it has been staged today.
The Lord said, and then the father sat back to his seat unwillingly, and glared at Wei Xiang fiercely: "Speak carefully, otherwise be careful of your skin!"
Wei Xiang shrugged his shoulders and ignored his father's threat at all.
Wei Jiang couldn't wait and asked, "Brother Xiang, what are your plans?"
Although I don’t have much hope for this cousin who seems to be mentally ill recently, I still have to treat it as a living person.
Wei Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Master, we can completely ignore Xu's rude request."
The father glared and shouted: "Nonsense, don't you know the relationship between Xu and Zhao? Xu Ke is the most loyal dog of Zhengqing Zhao Dun! It would be a trivial matter to offend Xu. If Zhao Dun is targeted, Wei will suffer the disaster of the deceased clan!"
Wei Xiang smiled and nodded, saying, "If what his father said was indeed reasonable in normal times, but now, his father's words are very wrong."
Seeing that the father was pinching the right hand of the table corner, Wei Xiang hurriedly said, "Because Zhao is too busy to take care of himself now, and he has no mind to meet Xu!"
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the other three people, and they almost said in unison: "Why?"
Wei Xiang coughed and paused for three seconds. He felt that the atmosphere was enough, so he said seriously: "Zhao Dun is about to die!"
As soon as Wei Xiang said this, the other three people in the lobby changed their faces suddenly, as if they could hear some great news.
It's really amazing news.
Zhao Dun is currently the Shangqing of Jin (also known as Zhengqing), a rank-in-arms general, and has been in charge of the government of Jin for twenty years.
During these twenty years, Zhao Dun was in power and expelled the Hu clan, who was once a family of top nobles and officials in Jin State, and killed two princes of Jin who were fighting for the throne in order to support Duke Ling of Jin. Later, he ordered his clan member Zhao Chuan to kill Duke Ling of Jin to help him and Ji Hei Shang, the current Duke of Jin, and reorganized the six ministers, so that the other five ministers would follow the order of Zhao and dare not have any objection.
In foreign countries, Zhao Dun replaced the Duke of Jin and became a symbol of Jin. He represented Jin and joined the princes of the world many times, allowing Jin to suppress Qin for twenty years, Chu and Qi for three first-class enemies, Zheng, Wei and Song, and a large number of small countries surrendered to Jin's command, which allowed Jin's hegemony to reach an unprecedented heyday since Duke Wen of Jin, Ji Chong'er, and truly achieved "power to the Central Plains."
People often say: "The State of Jin is not the State of Jin of the Marquis of Jin, but the State of Jin of Zhao Dun!"
If such a person dies, the political arena of Jin State will inevitably be a super earthquake, and even the whole world will be greatly affected.
This is why Wei Xiang said that Zhao Dun was so shocked when the three Wei clans were present after they died.
Wei Xiang looked at the shocked trio and said slowly: "Just just now, my father once said that everyone in Jin State knew that Xu Ke was Zhao Dun's most loyal minion and had done countless dirty things for Zhao, which had long been disgusted by the doctors. Once Zhao Dun died, his son Zhao Shuo had just reached Guan, how could he control the court like Zhao Dun? By then, Xu Ke had been evil for a long time and would be backfired by the officials. Why should I, Wei, be afraid of Xu Ke, who is about to die?"
...
The father took a deep breath and said, "Xiang'er, how did you know that Zhao Dun is about to die?"
Why?
Because Zhao Dun died in 601 BC, and today is October 15th in 601 BC. Since October is the last month of the Zhou Dynasty's calendar, there is only the last half month left in 601 BC.
From this we draw the conclusion that Zhao Dun will inevitably die within half a month.
After inquiring about the record of Zhao Dun's killing of the monarch, Dong Hu was still a historian of the Jin State, Wei Xiang believed that the historical books recorded the detailed time of Zhao Dun's death, which was absolutely reliable.
Of course, Wei Xiang could not say this reason, so he could only say seriously: "Father, I have said just now that the Dragon God came to the sky to give me revelation, and I learned from it."
As the descendant of the dragon, there is nothing wrong with it.
Wei Xiang turned his head agilely and a small corner of the table rubbed his cheeks past.
After half a second of thinking, Wei Xiang ran away.
The next moment, my father's roar resounded throughout the lobby: "You Wei Xiang, you are talking nonsense here. I see that your skin is really itchy!"
