Chapter Twenty-Three: Rebirth from the Fire (I)
The fate of the Song State is not up to itself.
It's like those small countries in the Jin and Chu dynasties when they were fighting for hegemony.
Just when the envoy of the king of Chu entered Sishang, in Shangqiu City, the emperor's father Yue Ling was borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.
The musicians played the music of bells and drums, and the emperor's father, Yue Ling, sang loudly alone.
The Divine Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business, the house is full of earth and mangmang. The ancient emperor ordered martial arts, and the four sides of the domain were in the right domain.
After Fang was killed, there were nine deaths. Shang Zhi successively, ordered not to die, in Wu Ding's grandson.
Wu Ding's grandson, King Wu is invincible.
The dragon is ten times, and the big gluten is the inheritance. Banggi is thousands of miles, the people of Weimin stop, and the territory is all over the world.
The four seas come to fake, come to fake Qi Qi. Jingyuan Wei River. Yin was ordered to be Xianyi, what is Bailu.
sang several times in a row, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The surrounding guests and subordinates also heard the grief and indignation of the emperor's father Yue Ling in this ode.
"Chu, Wei, Han, Sishang...... It is no different from the feudal system and the people as the gods, and they all want to swallow the anointed land of the Song Land. β
After singing, the emperor's father Yue Ling expressed the most thorough emotion, denouncing that the difference in political systems does not allow these big countries to make different choices.
The subordinates of the doorman also sighed, understanding that the emperor's father Yue Ling was known for his great ambition, or ambition, and wanted to do something big, so as to revitalize the Song Kingdom and restore the hegemony of Xianggong back then.
But now, the nobles have two hearts, some want to vote for Jin, some want to vote for Chu, and some want to borrow the power of Sishang.
However, there are few people who think about the future from the perspective of the descendants of Xuanniao, and few people think about the future from the perspective of the country of the "Song Kingdom" as he understands it.
As soon as the tax is levied, the people oppose it, but how can you raise soldiers without taxes?
In this world of great controversy, if you don't tolerate each other for the country, you will either die in Chu Wei or Sishang, so what's the difference?
Died in Chu Wei, would Chu Wei go to the Sanglin Society to continue to worship Yin Shang's Ding?
Dying in Sishang, can the Xuanniao nobles still be able to control the fate of the Song Kingdom?
Originally, the emperor's father Yue Ling wanted to use the power of the Mo family, but the Mo family was not a good bird in his eyes, he was not a gentleman at all, but an ambitious person, every time he wanted to change, the Mo family would inevitably obstruct it.
He took the lead thinking that the Mo family wanted to cooperate with him, but he didn't want the Mo family to just use him to carry all the contradictions, and now it seems that he didn't regard him as an ally from the beginning.
These contradictions and resentments of the Song Kingdom, the imperial father Yue Ling felt that many of them had nothing to do with him, many of them were accumulated over hundreds of years, and he actually didn't do anything.
But he succeeded his father as the commander of the Inquiry Yuan, and the national affairs were basically taken out by him, and in his position, he had to bear all the resentment and accusations.
He thought about a solution, that is, to centralize power, suppress the aristocracy, and divide the excess land of the nobles to the people, so as to expand the power of the Song State, so that all kinds of rifts within the Song State could be temporarily eased, and then slowly changed.
But every time he wanted to solve it, he would use various methods to make his change impossible.
Now, he can see it.
A doorman at the bottom also said: "When the Mo family originally decided the Shangqiu Rebellion, it seems that there is no good intentions now. β
"What Sishang is looking for is what is above, and everything must be what is; What is not, it will be not. As a result, the Sishang decree was unified, such as an arm. β
"But when I arrived in the Song Kingdom, I had to make out some gentlemen's courtyard and common people's courtyard, and the nobles of the Song Dynasty had a tradition of doing politics, and the people of the country also liked to do politics, so they came up with these two things, and they quarreled all day long."
"If the Song State is like North Korea living in the far north, there is no strong country around, or it is a good thing. But all around are strong countries, how can the Mo family not know that it is difficult to make the country strong and the people rich? β
At the beginning, he made a covenant of no harm, when the throne was undecided, Dai Huan fled, if the Mo family really helped Song Zhixin, he could join forces with the public to centralize power twenty years ago. I'm afraid that twenty years ago, these people in Sishang had no good intentions. β
"Mo Zhai is so heroic, why did he accept such a cunning disciple as Yan Zhishi?"
"It's not human! What you entrusted! β
The emperor's father, Yue Ling, was disdainful in his heart, and his heart said that Mo Zhai was naturally heroic, but if he had no intention of letting the Mo family take the road he is now, how could he let Shi Shi's status within the Mo family continue to improve?
Now it is useless to say this, it was clear that the Mo family wanted to take advantage of the internal strife in the Song Dynasty to make the Song Kingdom even more chaotic, so as to gain a foothold in Sishang.
If it weren't for the Mo family's obstruction, the imperial father family could have completely killed all the nobles who launched the coup d'Γ©tat and supported the prince to become a puppet, and the Song Kingdom would not be the situation where the government decrees are inconsistent and seem to be one but are actually divided.
Now the alliance and secret talks that determine the fate of the Song State have bypassed the Song State, and the superior countries of Wei, Han, Chusi, and other countries are all the same hill, bypassing the Song State to discuss the fate of the Song State, and it is nonsense to attack or equalize.
The Mo family said back then that all countries in the world should be equal and non-attacking, but now they don't mention it, but talk about "set in one" for the great benefit of the world, and the emperor's father Yue Ling couldn't help but feel sick for a while.
He felt that everyone was seeking their own interests, but there were few people who were truly loyal to the country, and thought of their identity as Song people to consider the survival and social welfare of the Song Kingdom.
They are all a group of villains, and there are not many gentlemen in the huge Song Kingdom.
In the depression, another guest said: "Now the disaster is not outside the Xiao wall, but I am afraid that it is within the Xiao wall." Dai Cong is now learning from the son Bao of the year, and he is quite famous among the common people and is known as a sage. β
"Gong still has one way to go, that is, to take Dai Cong's road, so that Dai Cong has no way out! After all, the public is still consulting the government Yuan, and he is in power, and Dai Cong's proposition is completely acceptable. β
"The people are ignorant and short-sighted, and they should not be regarded as gentlemen. They support Dai Cong today, and it is nothing more than because Dai Cong can give benefits to the sluts, if the public gives benefits to those sluts now, those people will naturally support you. β
As long as the emperor's father Yue Ling changed his previous attitude and borrowed Dai Cong's morality and call, then the people's hearts would naturally belong to the emperor's family.
It is nothing more than breaking with the aristocracy and being the elected Song Duke of the commoners, losing his fiefdom, but what he got was the entire Song State.
However, the imperial father Yue Ling shook his head helplessly and asked: "If you raise a hunting dog, will you raise a hunting dog that grows big enough to bite the owner?" β
"It's impossible for Sishang to support me now, even if I do it completely according to Dai Cong's rhetoric now and completely break with the nobility, the Mo family won't support it."
"When the time comes, they won't praise Dai Cong now and say that he has the 'heart of Wengong' and 'the will to benefit the people'. Instead, I will say that I am a wolf with ambition, and the monarchy cannot be uncontrolled, and someone must restrain Yunyun......"
"Do you really think that the Mo family wants to make the Song Kingdom strong and prosperous, and the people benefit? You are all wrong, they just want the Song Kingdom to be attached to Sishang. β
"Dai Cong can get so much praise from Sishang, what does he really have the ambition to benefit the people? What kind of character is it, can he not see it? β
"It's nothing more than that the Dai family is weaker, and if you want to succeed, you need to rely on the power of the Mo family."
"But I'm different, I'm too strong, and I may bite them one day in the future, so it's impossible for those people in Sishang to support me."
"And ......"
After saying that, he sighed again and said: "The fire that instigates the people, once it burns, no one can control it." The reason why there has been no burning of the prairie so far is only because the Mo family has a better choice to support Dai Cong to take the position. If they can't succeed, they will definitely burn this fire completely, and then the entire Song Kingdom will be completely chaotic, and it will be difficult to clean it up. β
"Didn't you notice that the Mo family was quite quiet this time? Even in the dispute between the sons of Zhao a few years ago, the Mo family had many activities in Handan, but the Song Kingdom, which was close at hand, the Mo family didn't say anything, and few people preached it in Shangqiu......"
On the contrary, the peasants have been preaching more to those landless peasants that they want to divide the land equally and the market at a price of the same. You will not be able to understand the truth of this. β
The doormen and subordinates seemed to understand, and they all scolded the dirty methods used by those people in the Mo family.
After the imperial father Yue Ling sighed, he said: "Now if you want to protect the Song Kingdom Sheji and the dignity of the vein of the Xuanniao, you can only put it to death and be born." β
"Let the domestic chaos arise, so chaotic that the countries of Wei, Han and Chu began to panic, panic that they will follow in our footsteps, panic The fire of the riot will burn to their land, panic After the Mo family got the Song State, the power increased greatly, and the Central Plains was invincible."
"When the time comes, we can only rely on the power of Chu Wei, and we will not hesitate to let half of the people in the Song Kingdom be killed and injured by the war, and we must also maintain the society of the Song Kingdom."
The doormen were silent.
The idea of wanting to use Wei Chu's power has not been tried, but the reactions of various countries are very subtle.
There is a precedent for the Great War of the Central Plains a few years ago, and the fighting power of the Sishang Yishi makes the monarchs of all countries need to consider the cost: is it worth risking domestic unrest to exchange a few cities of the Song State for bribes?
South Korea's mind is on Zheng State, Wei State is the enemy of Zhao Qin, and Chu State is busy with internal changes, and it is too difficult to let them contribute at this time.
Seeing that the subordinate henchmen were shaking their heads, the imperial father Yue Ling laughed and said, "You have never thought it through, and I haven't thought it through before. β
"It's like you have Wenxuan Baicheng, I use a simple carriage to beg you to do something for me, you will think about how much you can lose, whether it is worth it, at that time I was begging you for help."
"But if I don't ask you for help, but if you don't help, your Baicheng Wenxuan may be lost, then if I don't give you that simple carriage now, won't you help?"
"Ceding land as a bribe, Wei Chu and other countries are thinking about how much they have gained and whether it is worth it, so they are unwilling to come forward to fight against the Mo family."
"But why do I have to cut the land as a bribe?"
"Song, Wei, Chu, and Han are all close neighbors, like the grass of the common people. I let the grass house of the Song Kingdom burn brightly, and the flames rose with the potential to burn the plains, and I didn't ask Wei Chu for help, didn't they help? β
"Now the fire in the Song Kingdom is not strong enough, Wei Chu thinks that the grass house in the Song Kingdom is just cooking smoke, and I begged them to save them. But what if I set this cottage on fire myself? Do they still account for small gains and losses and do not save them? β
