The Duke of Song himself, for him, had no power to oppose at all, and the Song State had not changed the law and had not strengthened the centralized monarchy.

On the contrary, the Duke of Song still has some expectations for the people's participation in politics, and now he needs the power of the people to balance the nobles, at least to ensure that his position as monarch can be stable.

And the nobles did not disagree with this condition too much.

This condition is only related to Shangqiu City, and it does not affect their fiefdom, and the location of their Junziyuan does not coincide with the position of Liuqing, and it can curb the monarch's power, which is not unacceptable.

Anyway, the repossession of the fiefdom requires their own consent according to the conditions of this...... In their opinion, this is simply ridiculous, will anyone agree to let the monarch take back his fiefdom?

I thought about it vividly, and I also understood in my heart that the mainstream of the Warring States was centralization, and whoever could centralize power would be strong.

This time it was tantamount to sending Song Guo to a dead end, but he didn't care, and neither did the ink man.

The ink man is a person of the world, not a Song country, and what the ink man needs is not a Song country in the Xianggong era, but only more development opportunities under the contradictions and peace of the aristocracy.

After all, besides Shangqiu, there were other cities that had not been divided, and those were all places that the Moji could fight for.

After all, within the next ten years, the dispute between Jin and Chu and the chaotic war in the Central Plains could allow the Song State to continue to survive in this kind of decentralized attitude, and cultivating batch after batch of Chinese talents who grew up in this environment was the ultimate goal.

These were originally the conditions for suppressing the monarchy and dividing power to death in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, but for the Song Duke, who had no ability and centralized power at all, he did not lose much.

As for the external attack, at the beginning of his succession to the throne, Song Gong thought that he could, but he was surrounded by the Chu people after just three years on the throne, and he is now somewhat sober.

In fact, there is not much content, and more things need to be improved slowly in the future, and the right to make laws can get the right to propose, which is enough for the current situation.

The time is still very long, and it is appropriate to know that the focus of the Jin and Chu hegemony will be on the succession war of the Chu State and the internal strife in Zheng, and for a long time, the Song State will have enough time to tear up the interests internally, slowly let the people participate in these things, slowly develop the power of the people, and also spread some awakened ideas.

He hasn't mentioned the matter of Peixian Yishi for the time being, and it is not the time to mention it at this time, but it needs a better time in the future.

I believe that the people of Shangqiu will know that these hundreds of people from Pei County have helped them to win a balance in force, and they will naturally give Pei County support at the first political consultation meeting.

As for the aristocracy, they themselves have no power in Peidi, and they will not be willing to offend a group of powerful people.

If you don't talk about it for the time being, it doesn't mean that you won't talk about it in the future, just wait for the right time.

After reading all this, he asked the people: "This is the will of the people, I don't know what I said, can the people of Shangqiu prove that I am not lying about it?" ”

It seems to be asking the people, but in fact it is a show of force.

The people present and the people of Pei County shouted in unison, saying that what they said was true, and it was exactly what they requested.

The whole team of snare drums followed and beat in unison.

The nobles present understood that the Moji was letting the people show their strength, and they also understood that the power contained in this cry was far from comparable.

It turned out that these people were a plate of loose sand and could only be instigated by the nobility.

But now, there are Mo people, there are Peixian Yishi, the hundreds of warrior elites combined, plus the propaganda and guidance of the Xuanyi Department, at least during the siege of the city, the strength of these people is enough to fight against these nobles trapped in the city.

Everyone thought, where would these people come up with these solutions? If there is no Mo family in it, they will not believe it.

Eventually, however, these conditions did not seem unacceptable at this time, and they did not recognize the terrible nature of such changes that could ruin their future.

Under the feudal system, it is easy to decentralize power, and it is nothing more than whether there are civilians participating in the decentralization, at least civilians who do not have the status of scholars and doctors.

The separation of power is death, but most of the nobles present are happy to see this kind of Song death.

The Song State is not their Song Kingdom, nor is it the Song Kingdom of the people of Shangqiu, at least not yet.

After waiting for deterrence, Shi said again: "At this time, there is an urgent matter. Even if the grain stored in the city is used sparingly, it will last for up to four months, and even if the grain is transported from other places, it will take a while, and the seeds for next year must be prepared. ”

"So, the people don't want to go to the point where they are eaten. Although the Advisory Council has not yet been established, it is necessary to ask the opinions of the people. ”

"After discussing this matter, the people thought so."

Shi looked at the nobles present and said loudly: "It is limited to three months, if within three months, the Jin people come to fight with Chu, or the Chu people retreat, or the rest of them may defeat the Chu people, then fight." ”

"If there is no turnaround in three months, you can form an alliance with the Chu people. The specific conditions need to be consulted with the Government Yuan, so please confirm the candidate as soon as possible. ”

"This is the demand of the people, and I ask you to agree. The Ink Artist is only responsible for defending the city when invited, and as for whether to defend or fight, the Ink Scholar does not participate. ”

Shi first looked at Song Gong and waited for Song Gong to decide.

Actually, you don't need to look at it.

Zitian knew very well that the reason why the people would participate in this rebellion was because of the panic left by the tragedy of the Chu people besieging the city so that the bones in the city were broken and the children were eaten.

Now the granary in the city is burned, the grain in the city is not enough, and the Chu people learn from the time of King Zhuang, after harvesting and harvesting outside the city, replant some crops, and have the meaning of sticking to the siege here for a long time.

In this case, Song Gong knew that the previous conditions were long-term.

The siege of the city is imminent, and if it cannot be solved, then the people will immediately turn against it in anger.

Since Song Gong didn't agree at this time, then just change Song Gong, anyway, there are other people in the public family, and the matter of the country's rebellion to change the monarch did not happen once, it is normal.

So Song Gong nodded and said, "So, it's best." From today, it will last for three months, during which Mr. Mo Zhai will continue to defend the city and rectify the peasants and soldiers. If the siege cannot be solved after three months, then form an alliance with the Chu people! ”

Shi avoided Emperor Sicheng, who was near Duke Song, and looked at the rest of the nobles.

Da Yin and the others are indeed happy to do this, if the Jin people come, then the Sicheng Emperor and his family may have something to rely on.

After all, when the Jin people send troops, they always have to put forward some requirements, and once the Jin people garrison troops in the Song Dynasty, then the Sicheng Emperor and his family will have foreign aid at any time.

Even if the people of Shangqiu were dissatisfied, they had just experienced the siege of the Chu people, and it was impossible to continue to support a siege of the Jin people at this time.

As for whether the Jin people can send troops within three months...... In the eyes of Da Yin and others, that is very difficult.

If you want to send troops, it will take a long time.

Moreover, autumn is the harvest season, and it is only possible for the Jin people to return before the autumn harvest unless they have completed the conscription now and have already sent troops on the road.

If the conscription has not been completed at this time, then it will be impossible to send troops before the autumn, after all, the Jin people have just fought a big battle before.

The three directions of Qi, Zhongshan, and Qin all had wars within three years, and the Jin people needed a lot of determination to send troops at this time.

In addition, it seems that it is impossible for the Jin people to think about Song Gong and send troops immediately, but I am afraid that it will not be possible until the Chu people are exhausted.

So Da Yin and the others also said: "For the sake of the people of Shangqiu, it is precisely because we used armor before. This is certainly acceptable. ”

Shi finally glanced at the Sicheng Emperor's family, Si Chenghuang was helpless, it was already the current situation, he could only pin all his hopes on the Jin people to be able to reach this wish within three months.

Although the alliance has not yet been concluded, Song Gong has agreed to form an alliance in March, and the Da Yin family has also agreed, and the people themselves have been instigated and organized for this reason, so where can they oppose it at this time.

Since he couldn't object, he had no choice but to say, "Since the king and all the kings agree, how can I refuse?" ”

"The Chu people have always been ambitious, and it is not that I sent troops to destroy Zhu Ji Chen Cai."

"I married the Sanjin, and it was for the people of Shangqiu and the Song Zhisheji, just so that in case the Chu people attacked, the Sanjin could be rescued."

"Besides, the matter of the Rendi Alliance, it was decided by the ancestors, and there are Si Xingzi Xu and other ministers who bewitched the stars and changed their lives, is this actually my sin?"

"Speaking of which, it was Si Xingzi Xu who bewitched the ancestors back then who caused this siege. However, he made a mistake in stargazing, and he hanged himself, which is no longer punishable. ”

After removing the people's resentment towards him, Emperor Sicheng could be regarded as acquiescing to the formation of an alliance within three months.

As the saying goes, it is in the sky that people succeed in things, and maybe within three months, the Jin army will appear under Shangqiu City, which is unknown.

The bottom line of forming an alliance within three months was put forward by the people, and there was no need to ask the people again.

Seeing this, he said, "Then please swear!" ”

He is not good at the matter of vows, and there are full-time priests in the ink who are responsible for sacrificing ghosts and gods, and all kinds of livestock that worship the emperor's ghosts and gods are also prepared.

In order to maintain order, the people of Pei County lined up to distance the two sides by 100 feet, leaving an open space for the three parties to form an alliance, and the ink man was the witness.

…………

Outside the city, another attack by the Chu people had failed.

It was easy to attack near the city wall, and Chu only found that the ink man had not used all the means before, and it seemed that the number of people on the city wall was small, but the strength of the defense had not weakened at all.

Lime, hot oil, boiling water and dung juice were constantly poured down, and the soldiers who were clinging to the ants could not take a step forward.

Siege equipment such as ladders were destroyed by the rush sent by the elite of the ink man.

The chariots kept throwing some lime pots or fire tongs in the city, blocking the way for the Chu people to cross the moats that seemed to have been filled in to support their advance.

The elites who climbed to the city wall were crushed by the ink man's lower grinding cart, and the fast-rotating roller pulled the lower grinding cart up and down the city wall.

The ink man with the super spear inside used the hole exposed in the lower grinding cart to constantly stab the Chu people who could not defend on the city wall.

Coupled with the fact that the heavy grinding cart itself could knock people off the city walls, those places with the most intensive attacks quickly accumulated many scarred elite soldiers.

Within a hundred feet of the wall, there were those who were killed by arrows, or burned by boiling oil, or slain by striking through the small door of the dog's hole, or those who were wailing on the ground by the sprinkled with lime......

Someone had already retreated a hundred feet away despite the order.

The king of Chu looked high and far away, originally thinking that he was only 100 feet away from breaking the city, but today there happened to be a change in the city, and he could break it in one fell swoop.

But now it seems that I am afraid that this distance of 100 feet will become a distance that is difficult for the Chu army to cross.

What happened in the city, the king of Chu doesn't know now, but he knows that he is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious, and it is meaningless to attack like this.

The king of Chu took one last look at the hundred feet of the city wall that was piled up with countless dead and wounded, looked at the banner of the ink man guarding at the head of the city, and sighed: "Collect the troops!" ”
