Chapter 172: Unshakable Power (2)
For the crown prince, the news of the annihilation of the 60,000 troops of the Qi State in the Battle of Nanjishui is enough to dance, but if the news of the annihilation of the Linzi Legion comes, he is afraid that he will be so happy that he will be unable to sing loudly.
If the Mo family can achieve a great victory against the Linzi army like the battle of Nanjishui, whether Tian Wu is captured or not, Tian He's prestige will be reduced to the extreme.
The people of Linzi will inevitably be angry and resentful, and when the time comes, they will raise their arms and make peace with the Mo family secretly, and then spread some rumors such as: punish the unrighteous king, and only then can he make peace...... Then the big thing can be determined.
At that time, Wei Guo was swayed between Jin and Chu, and because Wei Hou chose to ally with Chu, he was expelled by the Chinese who were worried about the retribution of the Jin people.
After taking Pingyin from the Mo family, Tian Yan also basically understood the Mo family's plan, and he felt that the Mo family must be preparing to besiege Linzi in order to force Tian Qing Gongzi to return to the division at noon.
In this way, the army returned from the expedition in vain, and the people in the army were worried about their families, so the Mo family would have enough opportunities to ambush halfway, so that Uncle Tian Yan's forces could be completely overthrown.
So since the Battle of Nanjishui, Tian Yan has restrained his excited expressions, worried about the country and the people every day, and has repeatedly made suggestions.
Above the court, the prince looked worried about the Jizong Temple of Qizhishe, and he could always cheer for a while.
"Qi Zi Taigong Wang was enshrined in Yingqiu, and it has been established for 600 years. Except for the old Hou slander and mourning the duke's cooking, and Gongzi Jing moving the capital to Bogu, Linzi has never suffered from war. ”
"Duke Xiaoba, Duke Huan is the hero, and until the three Jin Dynasty invaded Qi twenty years ago, Linzi has never suffered from war."
"Now the people of Linzi are on an expedition, and although the people of Linzi sweat into rain, they have never guarded Linzi. Moreover, tens of thousands of young and strong people are outside, and the city is stopped by the old and weak. The Mo family is good at attacking and defending the world, one day under the martial city, half a moon to break the flat yin, the art of attack and defense since Mo Zhai passed away, Linzi may not be able to defend. ”
At this time, Tian Qing should be urgently summoned back to the division to protect the national capital. If the national capital is there, we can still expect Wei Han and other countries to mediate, if the national capital is lost, Wei Han and others will be afraid of the momentum of the Mo family and dare not come forward, and then Qi Zhisheji will be in danger. ”
"Moreover, although Jiang Qi is immoral, there are many ignorant people, and Lu is a city with no virtue and no merit, and there are still many scholars to follow...... If Linzi is lost, I am afraid that Tian's actions in response to the mandate of heaven will be questioned by the ignorant people. ”
He looked loyal, he seemed to believe in the military strength of the Mo family, and in fact, he really believed in the military strength of the Mo family.
Moreover, even if the Mo family does not think like this, then when Tian Qing's army comes back and the Mo family besieges Linzi, the people will inevitably be resentful.
During this time, the sergeants of Tian Yan's mansion were crowded, nobles came and went, and there was a lot of traffic, how could Tian He not know?
He didn't believe that Tian Yan's words were really for Qi Guosheji, but he had to agree with Tian Yan's opinion.
As Tian Yan said, since the death of Mo Zhai, the first person in the world to defend and attack the city should be the Mo family's Gong Zhishi, and the results of breaking Pingyin in a few days made Tian He have to consider the defense of Linzi.
Of the troops that Linzi can mobilize, only those old and weak, young and strong are all in the army. Linzi has not experienced war for hundreds of years, although the city is tall, but it is built according to the Bronze Age before the appearance of gunpowder, it is difficult to resist the Mo family's gunpowder siege techniques.
Although Tian Yan harbored evil intentions, but he couldn't refute what he said, now ask everyone, who can guarantee to hold Linzi under the onslaught of the Mo family? I'm afraid that no one will dare to stand up.
Don't let Tian Qing return to the division, Linzi will be broken, even if the Qi country is still there, and the Qi country is no longer the Qi country of the Tian He family, so what is the significance of the Qi country to Tian He?
Just like the current Chen State is restored, the prince of Chu is divided and restored, it is said that the Tian family is from the Chen State, but they don't care about the affairs of the Chen State, because the Chen State is no longer the Chen State of their family, what difference does it make who gets it?
The Tian family, before Tian Chang, was extremely united, because they needed to unite to fight against Jiang Qi's forces, against the Gao and Guo clans, and against the Qi nobles such as Yan and Bao.
But after the Tian family is Qi and Qi is divided into Tian, civil strife is inevitable, and Tian Chang can't help but erode Jiang Qi's power with the many bloodlines left by the guests, but it also lays the groundwork for family civil strife.
Although Tian He and Tian Yan are uncles and nephews, their fathers, sons and brothers are still fighting endlessly, what about uncles and nephews? The two are no longer a family, this is no longer a matter of Qi as one, but a matter of Qi belonging to the private property of an uncle or a nephew, and the feudal system is not destroyed by the material foundation, there is no foundation for the achievement of the nation.
Tian He couldn't directly point at Tian Yan's nose and scold: Do you want Tian Qing to come back, do you want the Mo family to ambush halfway so that the Linzi army can be destroyed, so that you can make a coup?
Because the matter has come to this, Tian He can only choose to let Tian Qing and Gongzi return to the division at noon.
One can also have the ability to confront Tian Yan after he returns, especially in the context of uneasiness after the defeat.
Second, if Tian Wu doesn't come back, it may be beneficial to Qi State, but he will be killed by his nephew, and even if his son takes revenge on him and fights back, then he will already be dead.
Under the throne, even his son can't be trusted, Tian He doesn't want to be loyal to his family and pave the way for his son with his life, at this moment he is just a person, a monarch, a monarch who has seen too many stories of father and son killing each other.
Faced with his nephew's ambitions, the first person to break the etiquette system in the early years of the Warring States Period, actually missed the benefits of etiquette, and couldn't help but feel that there were fewer and fewer gentlemen in this world.
I can't help but think of the answer between Yan Zi and Jiang Qi Jinggong back then, and I can only smile bitterly in my heart.
When Jing Gongxin repaired the palace, he saw the magnificence and sighed beautifully, and said abruptly: "After I die, who can live in this magnificent palace?" ”
Yan Zi said: "I'm afraid it's Tian's." ”
Jing Gong asked what to do, and Yan Zi said: "Only rely on courtesy." ”
Jing Gong asked again what etiquette was, and Yan Zi replied: "If it is in line with etiquette, the family's charity cannot catch up with the state." The people cannot move at will, the peasants cannot move at will and are imprisoned in the fiefdom, the industrialists and businessmen cannot change their careers, and the sons inherit the father's business and pass it on from generation to generation. A king is a king, a minister is a minister, a nobleman is a nobleman, a pariah is a pariah, insurmountable, and the hierarchy is strict, this is etiquette. ”
When the butt was sitting in Qi Xiang's seat, Li was the biggest obstacle for the Tian family's Daiqi, and he had to direct and act in such a political farce, borrowing the righteousness of the Mo family to temporarily determine the legitimacy of his Daiqi.
But after Zhou Tianzi got the title, this gift became an excellent thing again, if everyone kept the etiquette and the people did not change their karma, the Mo family's remarks would not be believed, and there was a difference between the noble and the low; If everyone observes propriety, the monarch and the ministers, the throne should be passed on to the son-in-law, and the throne should be passed on to the nephew, and some people will object to it, thinking that it is against the propriety; If everyone is polite, how can their nephews be ambitious?
The etiquette collapsed and the Tian family was once in charge of the society of the Qi State, but at this time it became the source of the civil strife in Qi.
Knowing that the prince harbored evil intentions, and he couldn't deal with it, he could only endure the feeling that Tian He had never experienced in his life.
He and his elder brother murdered their eldest brother, split their younger brother, and forced Jiang Qi away, so far it has been smooth sailing, and it is very simple for two generations to completely erase the existence of his brother and nephew, which will definitely make future generations even Tian Haotian Yan's life unclear, but he never expected to insert the Mo family's foot.
After getting rid of the intrigue between uncles and nephews in the court, Tian He went to the mausoleum temple to worship and pray, and the ancestor enshrined in the temple was the Yellow Emperor.
This is the result of Tian's deliberate thinking, and it is also the result of careful consideration of Tian's generation of Qi Meng's sacredness, when Tian He was enshrined in Zhou Tianzi, the Mo family's "benefiting the people for righteousness" principle can be discarded like broken straw shoes.
First, Confucianism must be called Yao Shun Wenwu; The Mo family is holy to the wind and rain of Dayu, and even the internal chronicle of the Mo family is based on the calendar: the Mo family to the year of the Tushan Conference to cast the nine tripods as the first year of Kyushu, has been more than 1,600 years.
In addition to the Mo family's sacracy of Yu, the choice of Tushan Conference to cast Jiuding for the first year of Kyushu is not only because of Jiuding, but also because of the legend of gunpowder made up by the Mo family: the love between Yu and Tushan Nujiao is because the gunpowder exploded the mountain that blocked the river, which led to the marriage of Dayu, who did not become a family because of the water incurable, which is a story that has begun to circulate in the world more than ten years ago.
As for the research of time, the Qi country of "worrying about the sky" is the three Ke after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, which is used to continue the sacrifice of Dayu. And Yue Guo thinks that he is the descendant of Tushan Nujiao, and Dayu was also buried in Huiji Mountain after his death, which can be verified from the oral tradition of the descendants of the two countries.
However, whether it is the Confucian Mohists, whether it is Yao Shunyu Tang or Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, they are far inferior in generation compared to the Yellow Emperor, so the Tian family was posthumously crowned from Hu Gongman's ancestor all the way to the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor, that is, in order to overpower the Confucian and Mo families in legal reason.
Confucianism talks about the Mandate of Heaven and Mohists talk about the will of Heaven, both of which use the past as a metaphor for the present.
Moreover, the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor and unified the Chinese tribes, which was the mandate of heaven.
Tian is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
Jiang Qi, surnamed Jiang, is the descendant of Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Shui, with water as his surname, first Jiang Shui, and then Jiang surname, Jiang Qi can be regarded as the orthodox descendant of Emperor Yan.
And the ancestor of the Tian family is Hu Gongman, Hu Gongman is the Yu family, the ancestor of the Yu family is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and Chen Guo is the three Ke, the sacrifice of Yu.
The Tian dynasty is a replica of the Mandate of Heaven in the Battle of Hanquan, the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, so the descendants of the Yellow Emperor replaced the Jiang family, the descendants of the Yan Emperor, isn't it the Mandate of Heaven?
Tian He didn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven at all, because he wanted to use the Mandate of Heaven to gain legitimacy, and those who used the Mandate of Heaven were the least likely to believe in the Mandate of Heaven.
But at this moment, he had nothing to do, not only believed in the Mandate of Heaven, but also believed in astrology, and asked if the Void Danger could see the fate of the Qi Kingdom.
After praying for a long time, suddenly a close minister galloped in, and the joy that could not be concealed in his words said loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Qi Zhishe Ji worry-free! The poultry is seriously ill and can't manage the government, and the Mo family has no leader! ”
Tian He, who was praying there, suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "Is this serious?" ”
The close minister said: "It's true, Sishang carefully makes a starry night return." ”
Tian He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Ah! Destiny is mine! Destiny is mine! As soon as the bird slips and dies, the handsome army of the shackles is outside, and they will return to Sishang to compete for the position, and I don't have to worry about it! ”
