Chapter 591 591
Shusun Tong boasted about the history of Qi State, of course, this history of Qi Country has the water of his Uncle Sun Tong's literary addition.
The basic history of the Qi State, basically the people of the whole empire know that this is a small country in the eastern barbarians, because of the development of the sea, a large number of maritime merchants poured into the Qi country, which brought huge wealth to the Qi country, so that the Qi country became rich step by step, followed by strength.
Although Qi is the birthplace of Confucianism, it is not the birthplace of Central Plains culture anyway.
After all, according to the division of the empire, the Qi State belongs to Dongyi, not the Central Plains, and the area of the Central Plains is very small, only the Song State and the Three Jin Dynasty and the imperial capital are composed of these places.
"Your Majesty, my Qi country is not a barbarian, and I must not do barbarian things, Li Shaoyang did this completely to push my Qi country to the edge of morality!" Shusun Tong pointed to Li Shaoyang on the side and said.
After listening to Shusun Tong's words, Li Shaoyang was quite angry: "I also have the idea of attacking the Song Dynasty for our Qi country, how can you say that I want to push the Qi country to the edge of morality?" ”
"The king clearly sees that the ministers are also thinking for the Qi country!" Li Shaoyang knelt on the ground and said.
And at this time, Guan Zhong stood up, after all, Li Shaoyang was his person, and he had to say a few words as the leader: "Your Majesty, Li Zhongqing just wants me to show my domineering Qi country!" ”
"My Qi country, monopolizing the empire, no prince can compare with my Qi country, at this time, my Qi country has no reason to enter the Song country, that is to show hegemony, show the strength of my Qi country!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"After my Qi country destroyed the Song Dynasty, the princes may be afraid of the arrogance of my Qi country, and dare not offend!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"Back then, the state of Chu was defeated, and after the destruction of the state of Sui, the emperor was also afraid of the hegemony of the state of Chu at that time!" Guan Zhong looked at everyone and said.
Suiguo was the gate of the Zhou royal family at that time, and once Suiguo perished, the gate of the Zhou royal family opened outward.
At that time, with the destruction of the country, the emperor did not dare to offend the king of Chu at that time, and the king of Chu had to inch in, step by step, encroaching on the royal family, and the princes of the world were also greedy, and it was from that time that the prestige of the royal family gradually declined.
Later, with the emergence of the Jin State, he supported the royal family, fought against the Chu State in the name of the royal family, and entered the stage of the Jin and Chu hegemony, and the royal family was thus preserved and not swallowed up by those princes who had a heart of disobedience.
"If the king wants to do something domineering, then it will definitely make the empire enter a new tide, just like when the Chu State opened a situation of the decline of the imperial family, if the emperor does this, then my Qi State will be equivalent to expanding to the west, and the princes are afraid of it!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"The princes are afraid of it, there will be princes who will take refuge in my Qi country, of course, it is advantageous, but there are also disadvantages, my Qi country wants to expand westward, and the princes of the world are afraid of it, and they will definitely unite to resist the westward advance of my Qi country!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"At that time, it will put my Qi country in a situation where it is surrounded by enemies on all sides and has no allies!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"If the Qi State wants to show this hegemony, it must be that the Qi State has reached the national strength that can sweep the princes, but with the current strength of the Qi State, it is still a little difficult to sweep the princes!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai nodded, although the Qi State has developed stronger and stronger in Qi Xiaobai's hands, the territory has expanded a lot, and it dominates the empire, but the national strength of the Qi State is far from reaching the national strength of sweeping the princes.
"Wang Shanghua Chu, just as Zhang Tianshang and Zhang Shangqing said, the reason is very sufficient!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"At the beginning, the Mo family assassinated the king, and the headquarters of the Mo family was in the Song Kingdom, so my Qi State could enter the Qi Kingdom under the pretext that the Song Kingdom secretly hid the murderer of the King of Qi!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai nodded when he heard it: "This is indeed a good reason!" ”
The headquarters of the Mo family is in the Song Kingdom, and the Mo family once assassinated Qi Xiaobai, although Qi Xiaobai pulled out the Mo family base in the Qi country, but he did not clear it outside, and the headquarters of the Mo family, Qi Xiaobai has not touched it.
Qi Xiaobai took a cup of tea and tasted it: "Then said, then when the war breaks out in Wei and Zhao, we will march into the Song Kingdom for this reason, and I will personally take command!" ”
Qi Xiaobai's words made everyone stunned, and the courtiers in the cabinet did not expect Qi Xiaobai to go to the Song Dynasty.
Although the Song State was rich, its military and national defense were very weak, and the Qi State only needed to send 100,000 troops to level the Song State.
They felt that Qi Xiaobai had no reason to risk a long journey and his life to go to the Song Kingdom.
There are so many generals in the Qi country, and if you hand it over to a general, this is a task that can be completed.
This thing is simple to do, so Qi Xiaobai has to do it himself to show his military talent.
Tell the courtiers of this Qi country that he Qi Xiaobai is not incompetent, but also a talented monarch.
"The matter is so decided, let the samurai legion prepare and prepare, let the princes see again and see the strength of my samurai legion!" Qi Xiaobai said to everyone.
Everyone knelt on the ground one after another: "Your Majesty, Wen Cheng Wude, is the first male monarch in the world, and ......"
Qi Xiaobai smiled at the corner of his mouth and left the cabinet.
After Qi Xiaobai left, Li Shaoyang ran to his uncle and grandson Tong with an angry face: "Old horseman, you dare to harm me!" ”
"Hmph, how can you say that the old man is harming you? I'm just worrying about the king and thinking about the king! Shusun Tong looked at Li Shaoyang, his waist was very straight, if it weren't for his white hair and white beard, it would be hard to imagine that he was a half-hundred.
Although Shusun Tong has no say in the cabinet, all the people he recommended to Qi Xiaobai have been appreciated by Qi Xiaobai, and if you want to say who is the fourth largest faction in this cabinet, it must be Shusun Tong.
What's even more extraordinary about Shusun Tong's status is that Shusun Tong's students have Qi Xiaobai's son, Qi Fei.
Li Shaoyang looked at Shusun Tong angrily, but he didn't dare to offend Shusun Tong to death, after all, this is a person who treats each other politely in the three major prime ministers, and they all have to be called 'Mr. Shusun!' ’
He is just a hereditary Zhongqing of a family, who once followed Zhang Tianshang, and later followed Guan Zhong, compared to a person like Shusun Tong who stood on his own.
However, he dared to find Shusun Tong like this because Shusun Tong only had an extraordinary status and did not have much real power, so he had no way to take Shusun Tong, but what could Shusun Tong do with him?
Guan Zhong walked over: "Shaoyang, don't quarrel here, what Mr. Shusun Tong gave to King Huan is not unreasonable, my Qi country is a country of etiquette, how can I do that barbaric thing?" ”
He dared to fight with his uncle and grandson, but he didn't dare to fight with Guan Zhong, after all, he was from Guan Zhong's faction, and he followed others to manage Zhong.
At the beginning, he followed Zhang Tianshang and betrayed Zhang Tianshang, but it was no longer good over there, he could only follow Guan Zhong until it was dark.
