Chapter 32: Rebellion
This is already a heart-wrenching statement, using Wei Chengzi, Xia Ti, and Chu State to order Yin Duo to be the royal family, and compare it with the Tian family's Qi Xiang, this is to force Gong Zhonglian to agree to Gongzi Dynasty as the prime minister.
Since Gong Zhonglian was willing to give an example to refute, Zhao Hou first sealed Gong Zhonglian's mouth: Wei Chengzi is Wei Si's own brother, and he has also been Wei Xiang. Xia Ti is Han Hou's own uncle, and he also made Korean appearances. And now that Wei and Korea are strong, this cannot be refuted.
Zhao Hou asked again: "Do you also believe in the morals of the Mo family?" Do you think that meritocracy is the only way to move, and even to choose a sage as the Son of Heaven? Such a kingless and fatherless principle is going to bring chaos to the world! ”
Gong Zhonglian hurriedly said: "I don't recognize these morals of the Mo family. ”
"But isn't it the most dangerous thing? If you don't have enough talent, you will incur trouble and the temple will be destroyed, and you will have to bear the blame for failure, which is also dangerous. ”
"Therefore, if the monarch really loves the Gongzi Dynasty, he might as well give the Gongzi Dynasty enough food and let him contribute to the Zhao Kingdom, so that he can be long-term."
"To give him a high position that is not comparable to his ability is to endanger life and ancestors."
"Giving him too much land will give rise to his ambitions."
"In troubled times, the higher the status and the more powerful you are, if you lack ability, you will be killed. Please think again! ”
Zhao Hou, who was on the bed, turned his face to the inside, and didn't look at Gong Zhonglian's eyes at all, but said stiffly: "The widow's body is tired, and I have listened to enough of today's advice." If you're tired, go back and rest. ”
The public lieutenant saw that he had no intention of persuading him again, and after saluting, he left with the support of two attendants.
Soon after Gong Zhonglian left, Zhao Hou took some herbs and called his son Gongzi Chao.
After Gongzichao, who was in his early twenties, came in, Zhao Hou asked the attendants around him to retreat, and Gongzi sat on the edge of the bed and tidied up his father's quilt with his hands.
If you say that at this time in the world, the one who is least looking forward to Zhao Hou's death is the Gongzi Dynasty.
Because if my father can be the Marquis of Zhao for another twenty years, and survive the old ministers of the era when his uncle was the king, his position as the prince will be stable.
Unfortunately, there is too little time. It was only thirteen years after the death of the Marquis of Lie, and thirteen years was not enough time for the imperial court of Zhao to change blood.
Now that there are only two father and son left in the dormitory, Zhao Hou looked at his son with a sad face, and asked his son to pick himself up and sit half-sit.
After staring at his son for a long time, he finally asked, "If I die, will you rebel?" Or, if I make you a king, or if I make you a minister, do you want to rebel? ”
Childe Chao sighed and asked, "Rebellion?" ”
Zhao Hou understood his son's doubts, nodded and said, "It can only be a rebellion." I can't pass on the throne to you openly. You can't sit still when it is passed on to you, the legacy of the ancestor is still there, and there is still the oath of the year, I can't break it. ”
"Now you and I are just father and son, not kings and ministers. I only ask you, do you want to rebel and take the throne? ”
Childe looked into his father's eyes, nodded solemnly, and said, "Yes." My father is the king, why should I be a minister? ”
Zhao Hou sighed and asked again: "The matter of Que and Jun is preparing horses for you?" ”
Gongzi Chao didn't deny it, and said: "It's not just him. The cousin's change in Handan was quite dissatisfied with many relatives of the Gong family. It's like a person with a sword in his hand, and naturally he will have some different thoughts, and if I am just a bare-handed child, of course I would not dare to think about these things. ”
"The Mo family has stirrups, and the rider is easier to train and the impact is stronger. In the training of dead soldiers, the rider is not necessarily invincible if he is one against ten. ”
Zhao Hou nodded and praised: "If you can think about this clearly, it proves that you are qualified to rebel." If this doesn't happen, will you borrow the tribal soldiers that Lin Hu Lou annoys? ”
Childe nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This is another story." ”
"Originally, my cousin was close to the Mo family, and the Mo family was guarding the northern border in Takayanagi. I'm worried that the Mo family will support my cousin at that time, after all, he is a person who talks about Shangxian all day long. And most of the people I have friends with are relatives of the Gong family, and it is impossible for me to say anything like Shang Xian. ”
"I thought that this time I would let Que and Jun contact the Hu people, promise things, and bribe the leader, once there is a change in Zhongmu, let Lin Hulou annoy him to attack Gaoliu."
Zhao Hou sighed and said: "It's not that you haven't read the battle reports over the years, the Mo family's skill in defending the city is extremely high, how can those tribes capture Gaoliu?" ”
Childe said: "I never thought that these Hu people would have the ability to capture Takayanagi. Father, although I want to participate in the rebellion, I want to be the king of Zhao after all. Am I going to let my land be invaded by the Hu people? I just want to use the Hu people to contain the energy of the Mo family and prevent them from having the energy to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs. ”
Hearing his son say this, Zhao Hou nodded in praise and said, "You can know the severity and use the power of the Hu people temporarily, and you also know that the purpose of your rebellion is to be the king of Zhao State." ”
"If you can't figure out what you will do as a king in the future, and even cede land and foreign countries, then I, as a father, will persuade you not to rebel. The horizon is too small, and even a rebellion is a disaster of death and annihilation. ”
Hearing his father's somewhat strange praise, Gongzi Chao also smiled, and then shook his head and said, "It's just that Hu Ren's power can't be borrowed now." ”
"The Mo family is good at arguing, and their Xuanyi Department is the most demagogic in the market."
Thinking of the rumors in the market these days, Gongzichao smiled bitterly and said: "Nowadays, colluding with the Hu people is already a great crime that harms the world, harms the people, and is not in line with the will of heaven. ”
"No matter how stupid I am, I won't borrow the power of the Hu people anymore. Otherwise, it will be completely impossible for the people of the national capital to support me. If the people of the country do not support it, public opinion will boil at that time, and even if I get the position of the king, I will not be able to sit steadily. ”
Zhao Hou coughed a few times, nodded and said, "I have also heard of it." These people from the Mo family ...... Once you feel that this matter is in line with the will of heaven and beneficial to the world, it is really unstoppable. Doesn't pay attention to affection, friendship, or even father and son. ”
"You also know about Qin Guosheng's victory. Back then, Sheng Xuan just did what a retainer should do with Xiang Ziniu, and the eldest grandson of the Mo family could ignore the twenty years of acquaintance, and Mo Zhai could expel him regardless of the love of his master and apprentice, and even when he died, he was not allowed to mourn! ”
"It's impossible to get them to change their attitudes. Regardless of whether they colluded with your cousin or not, Que and Jun's incident touched their bottom line and morality, and the Mo family would not let go of this matter. ”
The development of the Mo family in recent years has alarmed the princes, and it is impossible to bypass this original academic organization and the current political group in many things.
Zhao Hou didn't want to speculate on the specific attitude of the Mo family, so he asked instead: "As long as the morality of the Mo family is not touched, the Mo family has no reason to interfere." Planing out the Mo family, do you think this rebellion, what are the odds? ”
Childe said confidently: "Seventy percent sure." ”
"Marquis Wei supported, hoping to weaken the state of Zhao and create chaos. Even if I don't rebel, he wants me to rebel. ”
"If he uses me, I can use him in the same way. I want to be an upright king, not a puppet supported by others. ”
"In ancient times, there were Qin Xian and Jin Wen, if there was no power to dedicate the public, how could the Duke of Wen become a hegemon? But once the hegemony is completed, Qin Jin is still at war, so there is no need to worry. ”
"In China, there are many nobles who support me. I also know that after becoming the king, the system of the nobles of this world will always have to be changed in order to benefit the king, but now I can borrow their power and wait until I stand firm before doing great things. ”
"Even if it's my cousin's Handan, there are many rich people who support me. A few days ago, the Guo family, who was engaged in iron smelting, sent someone to talk to me secretly that the rich families in Handan could collect 800 dead soldiers and 3,000 gold. ”
"Besides, now that the Qi Hou Tian clan has a request from Wei, if the Wei people participate in this matter, and the three kingdoms work together, why worry about it?"
Seeing that his father seemed to have something to say, Childe smiled and said, "Father don't worry." Wei Hanqi would not ask for the city as a reward. The heart of the Wei people, in the Sishang Central Plains, the Mo family is entrenched, and its momentum has been achieved. If you want to go to Sishang, you need Wei and Zhao to join forces. ”
"In order to accumulate strength, my cousin got too close to the Mo family. When Wei Hou was a son, he was defeated by the Emperor in Niu Yi, which was the shame of his life......"
Zhao Hou shook his head and said, "I don't want to ask this, I want to ask, if you rebel and win the throne, how will you govern Zhao?" ”
Childe knelt down towards his father, bowed three times, and said, "This is what my son has already thought clearly." Since I am a rebel king, I must make something big to rejuvenate the Zhao family, and I will be worthy of seeing the ancestors of the Zhao family in the future. ”
"The Mo family now also has stirrups and gunpowder, so the Hu people don't have to worry."
"Now Zhao Di has Wei Han in the south, Barbarian Qin in the west, and Fuqi in the east, and the only one who can expand is to go north. Originally, it couldn't, the Hu people were good at shooting, but now the stirrups are friends, the farmers can also ride horses, and there are the benefits of iron and gunpowder, so the Hu people are not afraid. ”
"When I look at the situation in the north mentioned by Suo Lushen, my father used to set out in Gaoliu to travel to Xingyunzhong, and the land along the river is fertile, but there is a lack of population."
"I'm only in my twenties now, and I still have time. Ten years to stabilize domestic politics; Twenty years to reform the system; In 30 years, the population moved to Yunzhong and Jiuyuan. ”
"Inside, occupy the workshop of the Mo family. Outside, make a good alliance with Wei and Han, and do not take the land of the Central Plains. Go north to the nine plains in the clouds. ”
"Once the potential is formed, the nine plains in the clouds can enter Qin and carry the West River. Gao Yanagi can seek Yandi and Zhongshan. When the Central Plains changes, Zhao Dezhongshan, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, and Xihe will be able to dominate the industry. ”
"The Wei people don't dare to seek Zhao, they only hope that Wei and Zhao will work together. As long as we give up the Central Plains and do not take Weiqi, then Wei will ally with us. ”
"Wei Qiusi will fight with the Mo family. The hatred of the West River, the Qin people do not forget, and now Luoshui is changing. The Tian clan is ambitious, and if they take the throne, they will not be willing to live in the queen, and they will seek the cause of Huan Gong. That's the situation I can take advantage of. ”
"Zhao Zhi's foundation is not in Pushui Weiqi, but in Zhongshan, the north, and Jiuyuan clouds."
Gongzi Chao said vigorously, Zhao Hou nodded again and again when he heard it, his face showed a look of relief, and he said for a long time: "Since this is the case, then do it." ”
"If it happens, it's the best."
"If it doesn't work......"
Zhao Hou looked at his son and sighed: "If it doesn't work, if your cousin really has already sat on the throne...... Even if you are on the run, I believe that even if you flee, you will judge whether there is still a chance to seize the throne like Qin Gongzilian. ”
"If you really don't have a chance, remember to tell Zhao Hou what you think of Zhao Guo's foundation, and tell your cousin......"
Childe bowed to him again and said, "If there is a day, I don't think I have a chance, I will say it." Father, what else can you help me with now? ”
