...

Mingyue had already unfolded the entire book and found that there was nothing else except the section marked with a pen.

He had to look back and study it carefully. The text clearly recorded what happened in the first year of the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the first year of Lu Yin, Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan!

The incident happened more than 400 years ago. The old king of Zheng State, Duke Wu of Zheng, died, and the crown prince Duke Zhuang of Zheng, succeeded to the throne. However, Duke Zhuang of Zheng State's mother Wu Jiang did not like him, but preferred his younger son Gongshu Duan, and kept forcing Duan to increase Duan's fiefdom and give important weapons to other countries. As a result, Duan's power became increasingly powerful.

Zheng State's minister Ji Zhongli advised Duke Zhuang not to do this, but Duke Zhuang did not agree and said, "If you do more unrighteous things, you will die."

Finally, Duan felt that he was full of wings and could not bear to bend under his elder brother, so he repaired his armor and weapons, gathered the people, prepared his troops and chariots, and was about to sneak attack the capital of Zheng State and seize the throne. Wu Jiang, who prefers his younger son, actually planned to open the city gate as an insider.

In fact, this rebellion has long been seen through by the scheming Duke of Zheng Zhuang. He deliberately indulged his mother and younger brother, allowing them to act recklessly and reveal clues of rebellion. With the excuse of sending troops, Duke of Zheng Zhuang quelled the rebellion in one fell swoop, Gong Shu Duan fled abroad, and Wu Jiang was also under house arrest...

The sweat on the forehead slowly fell. Mingyue knew about this story, but when she read it carefully, it was particularly thrilling!

"The teacher who never forgets the past and the next thing is not forgotten, the teacher who never forgets the past and the next thing is not forgotten..."

Mingyue chewed this sentence and suddenly realized: "Mr. Luling, are you trying to remind me that the current situation in Zhao Palace is just like Zheng Boke Duan?"

The king's brother Zhao Dan, who just ascended the throne, prefers his youngest son's mother, Empress Dowager Zhao. He, Chang'an Jun, has no merits, but has been increasing his titles, fiefs, and treasures. All of this seems to be repeated in history.

In this way, Zhao Wangdan's cold attitude towards Mingyue today makes sense.

Mingyue smiled bitterly: "The tree wants to be calm but the wind does not stop. It seems that I am really not the time to travel through time. It is only five years before Changping. When Qin attacked Zhao, he was not only recruited by the people of Qi, but also involved in the palace struggle."

For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and the palace was filled with a sense of depression, forcing people to raise their heads.

Under the heavy pressure, Mingyue was not panicked, but stood up after closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. He walked around the bedroom with his hands behind his back. This was Mingyue's habit in his previous life. Whenever something was difficult to make a decision, he would clear his brain while constantly walking and calm himself down.

The only difference is that the choices in my previous life are just to choose liberal arts or science, which university to apply for in the college entrance examination, today I still order takeout in the canteen, whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination, which position to apply for in the civil service examination, which pair of leather shoes to tie with what tie when interviewing, whether the materials the leader wants today or tomorrow, whether to drink white or red at the banquet, which cake to choose for my dad’s birthday...

But now, it is a life-and-death choice that is related to life and death, one step is wrong and will never be restored!

The huge Zhao Palace seemed to have turned into a man-eating beast, and he fell between his lips and teeth, and would be crushed to pieces if he accidentally did.

Yes, he needs to draw a comprehensive plan for himself!

After a long time, Mingyue stopped and murmured: "This message from Mr. Luling may contain two completely different meanings."

"First, he just saw the clues, for fear that Chang'an Jun would be still in the dark, so he woke up secretly and asked me to follow his example and protect himself, so he should not repeat the mistakes of Gong Shu Duan."

"Secondly, he may also be hinting that I can rely on Queen Mother Zhao's preferences and use her power to take over state affairs to do the matter of Gongshu Duan's brother!"

...

In the east, the moon on the top of the Zhao Palace was quietly hanging on the branches. The palace was silent, with only the guards in the black clothes and the men walking around.

At this moment, if someone leaned into Chang'an Jun's dormitory and watched, he would definitely find a strange scene: Chang'an Jun did not sleep well, but sat on a mat next to the charcoal basin, his face was gloomy and sunny. Sometimes he was thinking hard, sometimes he talked to himself, revealing a hint of strangeness...

No one would have thought that this fifteen-year-old young man was planning to rebel and usurp the throne!

"First think about whether the second path is possible..."

Following the two possibilities given by Lulingjun, Mingyue had a brainstorm.

He is a person with clear thinking and agrees with a sentence in "The Art of War": Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles; knowing yourself without knowing your enemy will win and lose; not knowing your enemy, and not knowing yourself will be defeated in every battle.

A gentleman is not as clumsy as a confidant, so when planning, you must first figure out whether you have the ability to do something, rather than act rashly based on impulse.

Playing with the jade ornament carved into a full moon, Mingyue said to herself: "My current identity is the vassal of Zhao State..."

The throne was a special system during the Warring States Period. After a series of incidents of the annexation of princes and the stealing of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period realized the disadvantages of layers of feudalism, began to implement centralization, widely implement the county system, and sent bureaucrats who could be appointed and removed at any time to govern the local area.

However, the power of the new nobles must be guaranteed, and the royal family and meritorious ministers need to be rewarded, so the lord came into being. Bai Qi, the Wu'an lord of Qin, Zhao Sheng, the Pingyuan lord of Zhao, Tian Wen, the Changping lord of Yan, Le Yi, the E Junzi of Chu, and Wei Wuji, the Xinling lord, were all lords. As top aristocrats, they obtained fiefs from the country.

The same is true for his title of "Chang'an Jun".

However, although it seems to be a popular general in Lian Po and other generals who have not yet obtained the title of throne, for Mingyue, who has developed a "distinct intention", the name of throne is useless.

It’s a pity to abandon it, but it’s tasteless to eat it!

The nobles and officials in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the six nobles of Jin, were equivalent to independent princes in the country, and could raise a team from their fiefdoms at any time to fight. However, the power of the fiefdom in the Warring States Period was greatly weakened. In addition to the "sealing seal" like Anlingjun of Wei, they usually lived in the capital for a long time and were sealed without their own fiefdoms. They were just consuming rents and taxes, and their civil rights were limited, and their military power was not large. Therefore, the Shang Jun Wei Yang of Qin was quickly extinguished.

Therefore, after examining himself, Mingyue found that although he had obtained many fiefs with the spoiled queen mother, they were all empty. He did not open a palace and did not cultivate his confidants, so he could not mobilize the local military and civilians at all, let alone let them follow him intently.

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "So, I don't have any strength to myself."

Then it is time to think about the second question. Will Empress Dowager Zhao support him in usurping the throne?

Without thinking, Mingyue had already shaken her head into a rattle: "It's impossible!"

...

After more than a month of getting along and combining the words in historical records, Mingyue almost understood the temper of Queen Mother Zhao.

This mother has a strong personality, a little bit of temper, has a clear distinction between love and hate, but she is very protective of her. Also, although she will do willfulness, she will still obey the overall situation in the end...

Although he prefers Mingyue, Zhao Wangdan is also her son, and he has no major mistakes. His palms and backs are full of flesh. Mingyue is not sure to convince her to commit the deposed legitimate and child.

Although I usually use my right hand more and I am more favored, without my left hand, I will be bleeding and I feel so painful...

"If I force her, I will be arrogant because of my favor. Not only will I not repay the debts that stole her son's body, but it will harm her!"

The bright moon cannot do an ungrateful act.

"Besides, although Empress Dowager Zhao is known as a regent, Zhao's real power is actually controlled by the generals and ministers."

During the Warring States Period, after political reforms, centralized bureaucracy emerged. Under the monarch, there was a complete set of bureaucratic institutions as tools of rule. This bureaucratic organization was headed by the prime minister.

The current prime minister of Zhao State was Lin Xiangru, the important minister of King Huiwen, and Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, was the assistant. As for the general, he was led by the king of horses, Zhao She and the general Lian Po.

These four people are the four pillars of Zhao State. That day, the bright moon heard them talking through the curtain in the main hall of Fengtai. They were all old-fashioned people, and they were not fools who could instigate and bribe them simply.

"That sentence is well said. The army that never forgets the past and the subsequent events. There are too many turmoils in the history of Zhao State because of the throne. There are too many unrest, so the four of them will not know."

Over the past month, Mingyue briefly learned about the national history of Zhao State, and what was presented to him was a series of shocking coups!

In 444 BC, Zhao Wuxiu, the founding king of Zhao State, passed away. I don’t know if the old guy was twitching his mind. He left five sons without passing them over to his nephew Zhao Xianhou. As a result, Zhao Wuxiu’s son Zhao Huanzi was furious and expelled Zhao Xianhou and proclaimed himself the king.

After Zhao Huanzi's death, the people of the country expelled his son and welcomed Zhao Xianhou back.

This civil strife caused Zhao to lose his position as the leader of the Three Jins and become a maid of Wei Wenhou.

By 400 BC, Zhao Liehou, the real founder of Zhao State, passed away, and history repeated, and his younger brother Wu Gong became independent. Thirteen years later, Wu Gong died, and Zhao Liehou's crown prince beat Wu Gong's son away, became Zhao Jinghou, and officially moved the capital to Handan.

History continued to develop, but the State of Zhao has been repeating the past. In 376 BC, Zhao Jinghou died and Zhao Chenghou succeeded to the throne. Gongzisheng fought with him and made trouble.

In 350 BC, Zhao Chenghou died. His son Zhao Suhou fought with his son, and there was civil strife.

In short, for more than a hundred years, Zhao State had trouble almost every time it inherited the throne. This chaos has become a tradition, and it has consumed all the national strength that the previous generation finally accumulated, so it has always been a second-rate country.

As for the sand dune palace change in the late years of King Wuling of Zhao, let alone the ones. Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Ma Fujun Zhao She are all witnesses, and they still remember this freshly. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru even suggested that King Huiwen of Zhao early to establish the position of prince.

In the 22nd year of King Huiwen of Zhao, the epidemic was severe and Prince Dan was appointed as the crown prince. Coincidentally, Zhao Dan was just made the crown prince, and the epidemic was quelled. The monarch and ministers and the people of Zhao both felt that this was the welfare brought by the crown prince, which became Zhao Dan’s greatest political capital. So Zhao Dan was the crown prince for eleven years before he ascended the throne. Although he seemed a bit mediocre and playboy compared to King Wuling and King Huiwen, he was an orthodox successor, with deep roots and was highly supported by the ministers and the people.

In short, the blacksmith needs to be strong himself. Mingyue himself does not have any strength, and is not sure to convince Empress Dowager Zhao to destroy his son for justice. The possibility of gaining support from the royal family is almost zero...

Since that's the case, I'm still usurping my position!

"Conclusion, acting rashly will only harm myself, be disgraced and laugh at the world, and it is more likely that Zhao State will once again be in civil strife, the Qin people will advance, the Battle of Changping, and even the siege of Handan will happen early..."

He would not do anything that was more than 50% sure. After thinking it through, Mingyue's worry disappeared, but instead smiled: "So, although Queen Mother Zhao was partial, she was not confused. Although I was unhappy about Zhao Dan, I did not prepare for the king of a country. As for King Zhao..."

When Mingyue thought of Zhao Dan, who wanted to write all his emotions on his face, she couldn't help laughing. She had a personality like Zhao Dan, but she would be defeated if she had entered the unit in later generations.

"A person like him cannot be a scheming man. Even if I am evil, Duke Zhuang of Zheng! Although I am honest with him, I am not as strong as I will never die."

...

According to Lulingjun's previous instructions, Mingyue sat on the mat, unbuttoned the twine strands tied to the bamboo slips bit by bit, and threw the scattered bamboo pieces into the charcoal basin to burn. Seeing the bamboo pieces burning, the ink words on it gradually disappeared and turned into blue smoke, he suddenly laughed out loud.

He thought that what he wore, what he wore on his waist, what he held in his hand, and even the toilet-raising silk cloth used for urination and defecation were all precious pre-Qin cultural relics, especially the bamboo slips burning in his hand, which was the closest to the original version of "Zuo Zhuan"...

He still remembered that it should be the first public exhibition of a batch of Warring States Chu bamboo slips collected by Zhejiang University in 2012, with the main content being "Zuo Zhuan". The teacher in the school who taught pre-Qin history at that time was extremely excited and kept telling them that this was a landmark event that cracked the dispute over the authenticity of "Zuo Zhuan".

If the teacher knew that he was burning such precious cultural relics, he would probably be so angry that he would be so angry that he would be glaring at him.

Thinking of this, Mingyue burned even more and even hummed a song.

After destroying the evidence, he clapped his hands and stood up, thinking:

"According to the character of Zhao Tong, the Lord of Luling, he probably realized that Zhao Dan was going to be unfavorable to me, so he reminded me kindly, instead of instigating me to rebel. If he guessed correctly, Zhao Dan didn't want to kill me. He just wanted me to be a hostage to Qi State to ease the Qin State's offensive, and to drive my annoying brother far away, killing two birds with one stone..."

"However, even if the Empress Dowager does not have the intention of Wu Jiang, I have no intention of communist uncle Duan, and King Zhao does not have the ability of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, but it is hard to guarantee that someone among his close friends will imitate Ji Zhong. In order to win the favor of the new king, he slandered me. Now it is okay to have the protection of the Empress Dowager. One day, the Empress Dowager will not be there, and I will not be able to stay in Zhao..."

Although the Zhao Palace in Handan is comfortable, it has hidden murderous intent. Since it is also very dangerous to stay in Zhao State, can you do it and go with the flow?

When Mingyue first said that she was willing to go to Qi State, he was out of fear of Qin State and Bai Qi, and he inevitably had an idea in his heart: If I could not change the ending of Changping, it would be good to go to Qi State to avoid disaster. Although he was a hostage, he would not be short of luxury and food.

But as soon as this cowardly thought came out, he quickly drove away, calling himself a coward. How can he deserve the care of Empress Dowager Zhao? He is also ashamed to be a time traveler who lives a life of life!

After carefully analyzing the plan, he made up his mind to go to Qi for the second time, not to escape, but to build momentum for himself...

Yes, although Qin and Bai Qi sound so terrible and invincible to the world, Mingyue still wants to change the tragedy of the Battle of Changping in her heart!

He wants to turn the tide! Not only for the identity of the young master of Zhao, but also for more than 400,000 living lives!

The most convenient thing to change Changping is to directly control the Zhao government and improve national policies and military affairs.

However, the distinction between the monarch and the minister has been determined, and the possibility of replacing the King of Zhao is very small, so he can only temporarily settle for the position of Prince's title of monarch.

But this position of title of lord seems to be useless to Mingyue, and it is also a useless to be taken away at any time.
To be continued...
