There are a lot of high-sounding words, and it is clear that the real deal after removing these crowns is made.

Peixian Yishi helped the people of Shangqiu succeed in the coup d'état and forced the Song Gong to form an alliance; Peixian Yishi captured the king of Chu and formed an alliance in five steps to relieve the siege of Shangqiu; Pei County used the accumulated food to help Shangqiu, so that the people of Shangqiu would not starve.

Thus, in exchange for the people of Shangqiu when they consulted the government and asked the public, they supported the status of Pei County as a vassal state and supported the institutional reform of the people of Pei County.

It's just that this exchange of interests needs to be covered with a special cloak called mutual benefit.

The people of Shangqiu supported the Mo family's decision, and they also understood what kind of interests they wanted to fight, and it became easier and easier to publicize if it was appropriate.

By dawn, the truth that should be explained had been made clear, and the people had elected their trusted Shangqiu locals to prepare for the matter of "asking the public".

Although the Mo family controlled various nobles in the defense of the city, they still did not have the opportunity to attack these nobles.

One is that once you start, this is a challenge to the order of respect and inferiority of the whole world, which will trigger the siege of the world, and a small Shangqiu will not be able to block the encirclement of all the countries in the world.

The second is that even if you start, it doesn't make any sense. After Zheng Guo's Si Ziyang was killed a few years later, his henchmen could still rebel and expel Zheng Gong, dividing Zheng Guo into three.

The power of the nobles is still very strong, but the siege is their weak stage, and what they can do now cannot be done once the siege is over.

A lot of things have to be done slowly.

After the day was completely brightened, Song Gong and the others could also leave the palace. Those Mo disciples who were nominally responsible for guarding them from harming each other still followed left and right.

In the name of protection, in fact surveillance, this is a condition that must not be relaxed.

The people have also been encouraged to elect enough representatives of the countrymen to go to the vicinity of the palace together to discuss with the Song nobles about forming an alliance with the Chu people.

The young Song Gong has gone from his ambition before he ascended the throne to his helplessness now, but in just a few years, he has matured a lot in this day.

is no longer the Zitian who is looking forward to attacking the three Jin in the north and capturing Chu City in the south, and many things make sense.

In the alliance with Chu, the first few points are easy for the Duke of Song and the nobles to agree to, and the last two things about the righteous teacher are the root cause of the dispute.

The right to deploy the righteous teacher belonged to the Inquiry Yuan, not the Duke of Song, which made it difficult for the Duke of Song to accept, but it was easy for the nobles to accept.

At least, it seems to be easy to accept now.

Originally, the Duke of Song did not have the power to arbitrarily allocate the manpower of the entire Qianli Song Kingdom, and under the feudal system, the Duke of Song could only govern his own direct territories, and if he interfered in the fiefdoms of the nobles, the nobles would be very dissatisfied.

Just like in the last years of the Warring States Period, Tang Sui did not disgrace his mission.

Tang Sui is a minister of Anlingguo, Anlingguo is a vassal state of Wei, and Anlingjun is the younger brother of King Wei, so he is as powerful as Qin, and he can only negotiate directly with Anlingjun, and King Wei has no way to meddle in the affairs of Anlingguo.

This is the rule under the sub-envelope system.

The centralization of power was still the case in the late Warring States period, and now under the Song State feudal system, the Song Duke wants to move the fiefs of those nobles, which is simply death.

Therefore, even if he is just a righteous teacher of Shangqiu, it is difficult for Song Gong to accept it, because the people of the national capital are the easiest part of Song Gong's power to grasp.

The direct vassals and scholars of the Duke of Song are generally in the fiefs near the national capital, and the doctors and the six kings each have their own fiefs and have their own vassals, and the Duke of Song is only a simple feudal obligation relationship.

Just as the Gongsun Society could rebel against Qi and return to Zhao in Xiaqiu, the Qi State could only recognize the independent status of Qiqiu in the end, and the inertia of the feudal system of the states that had not completed the centralized reform was too great to be controlled.

It's just that the Duke of Song is unwilling to accept it, but the nobles are happy to do so, they are worried that the Duke of Song will take power after he becomes strong, so they support Shangqiu to set up a righteous teacher, and want to restrain the power of the Duke of Song as much as possible.

In the matter of restraining the monarchy, the nobles were in the same mind as the people at this time.

Si Chenghuang, Da Yin, Uncle Gong and others expressed the importance of Shangqiu's establishment of a righteous teacher, and Song Gong could only accept it helplessly.

After this matter is resolved, it will be much simpler for the rest to form an alliance with the Chu people.

When the envoy sent by the Duke of Song went to the Chu camp, Shangqiu City had already begun to prepare all kinds of things, and this time the oath was completely different from the past.

Although Shi has already said that he should not provoke the Chu State as much as possible, the most basic etiquette still has to be fought for.

Just as Lin Xiangru forced the King of Qin to play music in later generations, the exchanges between countries could easily lead to a disagreement after the collapse of etiquette.

The etiquette collapsed and the happiness was broken.

Either like the ancestral dragon is unified, the world is one.

Either that, or a war that lasts for decades, and in the end no one can be defeated, and a paper treaty gives all small states a nominal equal status.

But at this time, it is only the etiquette that collapses, and it is not yet time for unification or complete division, and the rules that have existed before can only be used.

"Autumn Officials, Daxingren" once said that the diplomatic relations of the princes are also asked by the year, the Yin Xiang is also hired, and the world is also the dynasty.

The same is diplomatic relations, the three words ask, hire, and dynasty are completely different, but they are common rules in the entire Chinese system, just like the so-called envoys and ambassadors in later generations, and the difference needs to be recognized by the world before the common name can be agreed.

The Song State is generally a "dynasty" in the history books of the Jin State and the Chu State, indicating that the Song State is weak and the Chu State is strong, and it is called the Dynasty because it is weak and strong.

Therefore, Zou Ji satirized the king of Qi, and after saying that he defeated the imperial court, he said that all countries were "courting" Qi.

Neither ask nor hire.

And this time the Song people captured the king of Chu, it is impossible to use the court's gift, but should use the court's gift: this time, in order to give both sides enough dignity, it cannot be said that the battle was defeated and an alliance, but that the king of Chu brought people to Shangqiu to hunt, and the Song Guild hunted, and the Song Gong served as the master to entertain the king of Chu, and it cannot be said that the army of the king of Chu attacked Shangqiu and was defeated and captured.

Because this involves a series of things behind the scenes, once the Three Jin Dynasty come to attack, it is also necessary to use the power of the Chu people to maintain the independence of the Song State.

This point is suitable for some preparation, as soon as Xiong Dang dies, the Chu State will immediately fall into chaos because of the inheritance crisis.

Zheng Jun and the prince must be nephews and uncles, and the prince must not be able to ascend the throne and be seized by his brother, and the Zheng people, who were originally close to Chu, will immediately give up their differences with the Sanjin Dynasty and the blood feud in Korea, and escort the prince back to Chu to take the throne.

Chen Cai and other countries are also closer to Wang Ziding, and they will also rebel after the inheritance crisis and join the ranks of supporting Wang Ziding.

This chaotic process will continue for a long time, the state of Chu will fall into a huge crisis, and the three Jin will be stronger than ever. In history, it was not until after Wu Qi entered Chu that Chen Cai could be recovered, and he could resist the attack of the Three Jin Dynasty, until the outbreak of the Central Plains War made the Chu people breathe for a while.

In this context, the etiquette of hiring is used as the etiquette of the soldiers between the Song and Chu countries, which is very in line with the situation.

One is the dowry, which is the etiquette of diplomatic relations between two countries with equal status, just like the Zou State that was separated from the Lu State, it is absolutely impossible to use the dowry to see the Lu Hou, and then when the Jin and Chu were strong, after the second military meeting, the Song, Zheng, Wei and other countries could only be hired in Jin Chu and not in Jin Chu.

Now that the king of Chu has been captured, the Song state has the upper hand, but the size of the Chu state is too large, and it can only seek one or two equal status in terms of etiquette.

The second is that the capture of the king of Chu is a shameful thing after all, and if this shame cannot be effectively resolved, this hatred will last for a long time.

In the world at this time, it is easy to hold grudges, especially insults.

Ji Hou made slander back then, which led to Qi Hou being cooked and killed by Zhou Tianzi, and then the Qi people destroyed Ji Guo for this reason.

And the Chu people are quite vindictive, and this kind of grudge can even last for hundreds of years.

When Xiong Duo got a fief of fifty miles on the blue silk of the road, the poor could only use jujube wood arrows as a tribute to Zhou Tianzi, and as a result, he served Zhou Tianzi with the Marquis of Qi, Luhou, Wei Bo, and the Marquis of Jin, and Zhou Tianzi and the other four families were related to each other and were closer, so the existence of Xiong Duo was ignored when rewarding the rituals.

Hundreds of years later, when it came to King Chu Ling, King Chu Ling still remembered this matter, and once said: "In the past, our first king Xiong Yi and Lu Ling of Qi State, Wang Sun Mu of Wei State, Xie's father of Jin State, and Uncle Bird of Lu State served King Zhou Kang at the same time, and Zhou Fen gave Jiuding to Qi, Wei, Jin, and Lu four countries, but our country did not. Now that I have achieved great merit, if I send someone to Zhou's room and ask for Jiuding as a treasure for my country, will Zhou Tianzi give it to me? ”

This incident from hundreds of years ago can be turned out as a reason for the importance of the title, and the Chu people's grudge temperament has to be guarded against.

In this case, although the king of Chu was captured, it was acceptable for both parties to use the dowry of equal diplomatic relations between the two countries as a courtesy.

This kind of thing needs to go through the form, so after discussing it here, it is necessary to send someone to notify the king of Chu and let the king of Chu approve before it can be implemented.

In the camp of the Chu people, the various conditions given by the Mo and the monarchs and ministers of the Song State have been submitted to the hands of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu is still under the control of Gongzaoye, and there is a strange situation in the entire camp of the Chu people.

In the camp, it was the Pei County Yishi and the elite of the Mo family who controlled the King of Chu.

Outside the camp, the elite of the Chu people besieged it, and there were archers ready to prepare it, and the rest of the camps were ready to prevent the Song people from raiding at this time.

Those silk books for the king of Chu are written in a high-sounding manner.

As the public smelting in charge of the overall situation in Chu Ying, what he heard was a completely different and more straightforward statement.

This time the alliance cannot be said that the Chu people were defeated, but that the king of Chu led people to the north to hunt and accidentally came to Shangqiu.

However, because Song Gong was not notified in advance, Song Gong did not know, so Song Gong needed to send someone to tell the King of Chu first: It was me who did not entertain well.

The king of Chu also sent envoys to Shangqiu to worship the Duke of Song again, saying that it was not the fault of the Duke of Song, but that the King of Chu himself accidentally came to the territory of the Song State and did not notify the Duke of Song in advance, which was the fault of the King of Chu.

After the two sides first took a form and generally admitted their mistakes to each other, the king of Chu wanted to send a doctor to see the Duke of Song with a jade camphor in his hand, and use the jade zhang as a dowry to express his hope that he could meet the Song Guild Alliance.

Song Gong also needs to return the jade to Doctor Chu after the reception, showing that he is a heavy gift and a light object.

Your jade is a respect for me, a respect I accept, but I am not a person who covets jade, so I will return the jade to you.
