Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wei
Therefore, Tian He will not give up.
Not only will he not give up, but he will react faster than Wei, he is worried that Wei will take this opportunity to intervene, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult to deal with it if he has a foothold in the land of Sishang.
In the view of the Mo family, Wei now has a five-way siege and ten-sided ambush, that is, a dead dog within three or five years.
But in the eyes of the Qi State, the Wei State is still the overlord of the world, expanding everywhere.
The enemy of Qin in the West River, crossed the Taihang to destroy Zhongshan, attacked Nanyang, swallowed Zhengdi, supported Chen Cai and pseudo-Chu, occupied Xiaqiu Chengyang, and by the way, he could also interfere in the internal affairs of Zhao......
Attacking from all sides, the comprehensive expansion of the strategy, and the huge risks that the Mo family sees are hidden behind it.
However, Tian He has not yet seen the crisis facing Wei clearly, and his habitual thinking has limited him over the years, and Wei is invincible, invincible, invincible, and destroys the country like a child's play, and it is rumored that Wei is preparing to move the capital to Daliang in order to seek the Central Plains......
All this made Tian He feel that if Fei Guo missed this matter, Sishang's fat would never have a chance. Now this piece of fat has the hard bones of the Mo family, but can the Mo family's new policy last? Will this system of selecting the giants lead to civil strife like the struggle between the sons of various countries? In the future, if the interests of all countries are threatened, will all countries work together to divide them?
This is something to consider in the future and in the future, and it may take ten or twenty years or more.
Tawa is old.
Therefore, he has to think about his son and the Qi country, which is now his own family, so he must think about it for a long time.
How many years will he live himself?
After his death, his nephew ascended to the throne, how could the son kill his nephew?
After his death, how can the doctors of his brother's faction weaken their power?
If you want to centralize power, can you do it without prestige and deterrence without military strength?
If you don't fight, how can you centralize power? Without expansion, how can those men with foreign surnames have a bright future, so as to form a non-aristocratic force attached to the monarch to oppose the huge relatives of the family?
All of this, Tian He considered correctly.
And now, he needs to know the attitude of the Mo family and the attitude of the Wei State before he can make a final decision.
The son is right, once those doctors and nobles join Qi, then the affairs of the Fei State are the internal affairs of the Qi State, as long as they do not take the initiative to attack the capital of the Fei State, the matter does not seem to expand.
As long as it is controlled within a limited range and first gain a firm foothold in the Fei country, that is the most meaningful thing that he did for the descendants of his family before he died.
After thinking about it for a long time, Tian He said: "This matter still needs to send a messenger to inquire about the Mo family, and then repair the book with the Marquis of Wei, and worship the Son of Heaven, explaining that this matter is for righteousness and courtesy, not for the benefit of the Qi country, and the selfishness of the widow." ”
…………
Weidu.
In the palace, there was a lot of noise, and the ministers were discussing.
When the news of the establishment of a speculative company by the merchants of Zhongshan and the Sishang side reached the Wei State, the old nobles of the Zhongshan State had already walked out of the mountains and attacked Jiumen, Fei, Xiyang and other places.
Zhao Guogongzi Zhang ascended the throne, Gongzi Dynasty was in turmoil, Que He, Ge Bo, Wu'an and other towns raised troops to support Gongzi Dynasty, Gongzi Dynasty frequently sent envoys to Wei, telling that he was friendly with Wei, and once the matter was completed, he was willing to cut Handan as a thanks.
The prince of Chu personally commanded a new army of 30,000 and 20 bronze cannons to attack Chen, and the prince of Chu was in a hurry, asking Wei to send troops to help, and said that the Mo family seemed to be intervening, and its city-breaking technique was as fast as thunder and could not be stopped, and there must be the Mo family behind it.
There is also news that Wu Qi and others have passed Danyang and will enter Qin in a few days, and the state of Chu will send envoys to Qin together to repair the good of Qin and Chu, and Qin Jun wants to marry Chu Ji as a concubine to cultivate the good of Qin and Chu.
South Korea lost millet and rebelled, the Zheng people wanted to return to Zheng, and the Zheng people such as Sujube and Yangwu annexed by Wei also came with news that they hoped to restore the city to Zheng, and people's hearts were unstable.
This was the biggest crisis since Wei Zhen came to power, and the crisis broke out without warning within a year, and Wei Zheng couldn't sleep for several days.
At the time of Wenhou, although he also attacked from all sides, at that time, the national strength was at its peak, and the Wei State took the lead in reform, and the national strength was far superior to other countries.
But after Wei Zhen succeeded to the throne, his literary talents and martial arts were inferior to his father's, and the hegemony created by Wenhou had become a burden in his hands.
Today, there is an urgent letter from the Qi State and a request from the nobles of the Fei State, and these things are gathered together, causing chaos in the Wei State.
Wei Zhen asked his uncle and said: "In the past, when Ji Chongjun and Zhai Huang were each other, they could resolve the crisis when it did not appear. Now that you have become the prime minister, and the country has such a situation, shouldn't you share the worries of the widows? ”
Uncle Acne also knows that today's events are also a crisis in his own situation.
Although the matter of forcing Wu Qi away, a slap in the face can't be heard, if Wei Zhen didn't trust these people with foreign surnames, how could he have a chance to take the position?
Now Wei Hou questioned himself, as if this was half of his responsibility, although Uncle Gong had complaints in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face.
He saluted and said, "There are priorities. These things cannot be left unified. ”
"The lightest thing is the rebellion of sour dates and Yangwu Zhengren. This matter can be solved, and there is no need for the power of Wei. ”
Wei Zhen asked, "How?" ”
Uncle Gong sneered: "Han Zheng's enmity has gone through three generations. Zheng people hated Han. Although my Wei State takes sour dates and Yangwu, but it is only under the new soil, and the Zheng people are difficult to obey, and as soon as the time is long, they will obey the king. ”
"Now Han moved to Yangzhai, which is only a river away from Zheng. Negative and opposite, Han asked to cut down Zheng, but the king did not want the Han people to have room for Zheng, so he did not allow it. ”
"Today's matter is urgent, and we can acquiesce to South Korea's invasion of Zheng. The Zheng people in the land of sour dates and Yangwu will hate Han and would rather take refuge in us than be annexed by Korea. If we let out the rumors, we only said that South Korea would change the land, and exchange Shaoqu and Yewang for sour dates and Yangwu. When the Zheng people heard this, they would like to return to Wei rather than to Korea, and the people's hearts here can be stable. ”
After hearing this, Wei clapped his hands and said: "Xiangguo's words are really high-minded. This matter can be solved, so which is more important? ”
Uncle acne said again: "Zhongshan state affairs are the second lightest. ”
Wei Zhen shook his head and said, "It's a big mistake. I was a general in the past, and I captured Zhongshan for the first king. The mountainous area is thousands of miles wide, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and there is the danger of Taihang and the fertile plain. The north can make Yan, the east can defend Qi, and the west can force Zhao. ”
"Zhongshan is in Wei, just like Yu Zhao and Liang Yu about Chu, how can this be given up? How can you say that this is a minor matter? ”
Uncle acne said: "If you want to attack Zhongshan, you must pass through Zhao Di." Zhao Gongzizhang has never obeyed the alliance of the Three Jins, and since he is the king, how can he allow the Wei army to cross the border? ”
"If the prince is on the throne and Zhongshan is restored, can the king capture it once, but not the second time?"
"Therefore, the matter of Zhongshan is actually the matter of Zhao State. Zhao Guoshi can be determined, Zhongshan Guo can be determined; Zhao is uncertain, Zhongshan is uncertain. It is because I said that the state affairs of Zhongshan are the second lightest. ”
"The state of Zhao is uncertain, the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty collapses, and Zhongshan will not return to Wei."
After Wei Zhen pondered deeply, he nodded and said, "Qing Yan is extremely true. The change of Zhao Kingdom, I want to support the Gongzi Dynasty, am I doing something wrong? ”
Uncle Gong sneered and said: "Your Majesty, whether the Zhao clan is allied with the Three Jin Dynasty and uses Wei to hold the bull's ear is not in the Gongzi Dynasty and Gongzi Zhang, but in the strength of Zhao Wei." ”
"In the past, when Zhibo attacked Jinyang, have you forgotten? Why was Korea able to submit to Wei, and what was the reason? ”
The rebellion of the Six Secretaries of the Jin State is an unavoidable history of the Wei State, and Wei Zhen will naturally not forget it.
Back then, Zhibo invited Han and Wei to work together to defeat the Zhao family and besiege Jinyang. But in the end, Zhao succeeded in instigating Han and Wei to rebel, and Zhi has been in a state of collapse ever since.
In theory, the three Jin Dynasty are still the three secretaries of the Jin Kingdom, and they work together to expand, and no one in the world can beat them.
But how can the three families be selfless?
Wei and Han joined forces to squeeze out Zhao and prevent Zhao from touching the Central Plains.
Don't say that this is the Three Jin Alliance, which has existed in name only, that is, when Han, Wei, and Zhi joined forces to destroy the Zhao family, it was all hit to Jinyang City, as long as the city broke the Zhao family, it would still be able to betray, let alone now?
South Korea's dependence on Wei stems from the fact that South Korea can work together with Wei to expand in the Central Plains, with the fat of Zheng State and the threat of Chu State, the cooperation between the two sides is really close.
But what about Zhao Guo?
After the Gongzhong Lian changed the law and part of the Mo family entered the Zhao activities, the Zhao State became stronger.
Even if the covenant is signed today, even if Zhao Gongzizhang cuts his arm and swears to the sky: Zhao will definitely attack the Central Plains in the future, Zhao will abide by the Three Jin Alliance, and Zhao will only go to the bitter cold land and will never covet the anointed land of the country...... Can Wei Zhen be trusted?
I won't believe it if I kill it. Everyone started by engaging in conspiracy and joining forces to join forces, and when Zhibo attacked Jinyang, the three families also swore a blood oath, so what's the use?
Wei Zhen woke up from his uncle's words and said, "With the meaning of Qing, Gongzi Dynasty and Gongzi Zhang...... Can't they believe their words? If Zhao is weak, then it will naturally be said that the Three Jin Alliances are working together; Zhao Guoqiang is strong, even if the oath is in hand, they will not abide by it? ”
Uncle sneered and said: "The gentleman is smart, that's exactly what he means." Just like back then, why did the emperor support Wang Ziding? Could it be that the prince must be a wise man? Is it for the sake of justice? Or does it mean that if the prince settles into Chu, he will definitely be friendly with Wei? ”
Wei Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "It's because the prince is weak, and the king of Chu is strong." It was because the prince would be able to weaken the state of Chu and make the prince Chen Cai dependent on Wei. ”
Uncle Gong bowed again: "That's the truth." ”
"Zhao Gongzi Zhang is more virtuous, building the city of Handan, and there is the help of the Mo family, the sages are widely collected, and the strength is getting stronger. And he is the son of the Liehou, and the righteousness of orthodoxy is in hand, which is strong. ”
"Zhao Gongzi Chaoxian is not as good as his brother, but he is the son of Wuhou, and there is also the support of nobles in the court, but the strength is not strong, it is weak."
"Gongzi Zhang has the learning of Gongzhonglian and the knowledge of the Mohists, and has the heart of centralizing power and reforming the country."
"If the prince wants to take the throne, he must recognize the feudal system and promise land power in order to gain support."
"So...... Does the monarch like a Zhao State after a centralized change? Or do you like a Zhao State with a feudal aristocracy and more power? ”
"Does the monarch like the Gongzi Dynasty of Zhao State, and the rebellion of Gongzi Zhang has spread thousands of miles, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded? Or do you like Gongzi Zhang's succession to the throne and stability, the hundred officials congratulate, the politics are clear, and the Zhao State is under great governance? ”
"Does the monarch like a Zhao State who swore an oath to be good with Wei, but had 100 bronze cannons and 100,000 soldiers? Or do you like the result of the oath and Wei, internal and external troubles, chaos, and the Zhao State that cannot be stable if you are not attached to Wei? ”
"These three differences, please choose."
Wei Zhen laughed and said, "I understand your words. I like the Zhao State, which divides the feudal system and the aristocracy and has many powers, the Zhao State where the dispute between the sons has affected tens of thousands of dead and injured for thousands of miles, and the Zhao State that is chaotic and unstable if the internal and external troubles are unbearable and the widows are not stable. ”
