Chapter 236: Drawing a Gourd Like Zen Again (2)
The killing of kings in Qi is experienced, not only killing kings, but also often cutting grass and eradicating roots, this is not only Qi country, but all the princes of the world are like birds.
In the rebellion of the five princes, they were happy to kill their brothers and nephews, and the 20 years of civil strife in the Tian family were also fratricidal, and the people of Linzi had already been numb to this.
If you really talk about etiquette, it will not be as successful as the Tian family.
The great nobles who don't know how to conspire can't survive the Spring and Autumn Period, and the aristocratic families who can be passed on to this time must have learned the conspiracy as a compulsory course for the nobility and passed it on as a family inheritance.
Tian Yan didn't have much psychological burden for killing his uncle, if he wanted to blame Tian Wu for not dying in the chaos, if he died in the chaos, he Tian Yan could have been a filial nephew, a brother who guarded his family, and a courtier who abided by etiquette.
But Tian Wu didn't die, all this was impossible.
But he didn't want to be infamy.
Because of his special identity, he is the crown prince, as long as he survives Tian He, he will be much more formal.
But now, it seems that something is going to go wrong.
The strategist said that he would do it now, but in fact, the conditions were not very perfect.
This time, the Mo family won a complete victory in the south of the Great Wall, and Linzi was in danger, and the nearby doctors also gathered their own private soldiers to go to Linzi to guard.
Naturally, there were nobles from Tian Yan's faction, and when his father and Tian and his brothers divided their forces, more than half of the inheritance left to Tian Yan was north of the Great Wall.
But Tian Hetuo is seriously ill and will not die, and he, the rightful prince, still looks forward to Tian He's death but inherits it justifiably.
At this point, even if he was a little indecisive and a little too expectant of the smoother than expected, he had to be ready to do it.
If you want to do it, you have to consider the attitude of the nobility.
The attitude of the people in Linzi is only the basis of the coup, but the attitude of the aristocracy is the basis of the ruling after the coup.
A coup d'Γ©tat can rely on the people, but once the people are organized, they will inevitably panic as monarchs.
One of the difficulties that is difficult to overcome is that it was the Mo family who won the battle in the south this time. If you change any prince, you can borrow troops, but if you get closer to the Mo family, you have to consider the attitude of the nobles.
Thinking of this, a strategist said: "Childe, I have studied the Mo family's articles and scriptures, and I have to say that their words are very reasonable, but there is one thing that I hate and is difficult to accept. However, what you are worried about, I feel that in the past few days, it seems that the truth that the Mo family said is still the truth after all. β
Tian Yan read the Mo family's article less, and asked, "What do you hate and find it difficult to accept?" β
The strategist said: "The righteousness of the Mo family is ruthless, rude, and immoral. They will be the pride of the scholars, the shamelessness of the common people, and the virtues of the nobles...... All write ruthlessly and coldly. They have a saying, which is very interesting: some nobles say that they are for the sake of courtesy and virtue, but once it comes to their interests, they will show their true colors, and they shout courtesy and virtue on their lips, but it is only used to cover up the benefits under them. β
This sound very ugly, not only Tian Yan, but also many scholars around him are also difficult to accept, and say disdainfully: "The Mo family has no king, no father and no virtue, but it is really ridiculous to think that everyone in the world is the same as them." β
"In this world, only virtue is eternally correct. But they want to think that this is eternal in terms of profit and things...... But there is little truth in their words. β
The counsellor shook his head and said, "That's not the case. In the past few days, I have heard from my son that there are endless arguments in the court. Some say that they want peace, and some say that they will continue to fight until the princes of the world will interfere. β
"This seems ordinary, but I looked at it afterwards according to what the Mo family said and found an interesting thing."
Tian Yan was stunned and asked, "What did you see?" β
The strategist smiled, "What I see is what the Mo family said. Some nobles say that they are courteous and virtuous, but once their interests are involved, they will show their true colors, and they shout courtesy and virtue on their lips, but they are only used to cover up the benefits underneath. β
"Most of the lords and those who are in peace are fiefs north of the Great Wall. The reason for their peace is actually because the land reform is going on south of the Great Wall, and they are worried that this fire will burn to their fiefdoms, and the Mo family has been saying that they are for righteousness, not to encroach on other people's land, so as long as they hand over Tian Qing and Tian Wu, they will retreat. β
"Whether it's true or not, these nobles all want to make peace."
"And the main battle is mostly the family fiefdom in the south of the Great Wall. Most of the words are the Mo family's immorality, rudeness, and righteousness against the world, if you don't listen carefully, you think that this is actually the Lu of the birds back then. β
These words were a little sharp, and Tian Yan's face was slightly unbearable.
There is no doubt that the poultry system pays attention to etiquette.
But if you talk about the country in the world that is least qualified to say courtesy, now Tian Qi dares to call the second, and no one is embarrassed to call the first.
The strategist didn't care, and said: "The people who are in charge of the battle use words such as immorality, rudeness, and tyranny to describe the Mo family, and believe that if they continue to fight, the world will inevitably shake, and the Mo family will be as angry and resentful as the thieves back then, so all countries will definitely interfere." β
"However, I calculated, most of these people have fiefs south of the Great Wall, and now they are occupied by the Mo family."
"If it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence."
"But if it's not a coincidence, it's interesting...... In the end, the main battle and the main peace are not related to morality, but really related to profit. β
Having said this, Tian Yan had already felt some taste, and said happily: "What do you mean...... If you do something now, as long as you can make peace with the Mo family, you will get support? β
The strategist smiled, "Childe is wise. Tian He's subordinates were mostly captured in Yingyi. Most of the nobles in the south of Pingyin were captured in Jishui. Now the nobles in the court, those who have power are those whose fiefdoms are in the north, and although the remaining ones shout that they want to continue fighting, they actually have no strength, only the glory of the family's bloodline. β
Tian Yan pondered for a while and asked, "Isn't it possible for all countries to interfere?" β
The strategist shook his head and said, "The Chu people consider themselves to be the Southern Barbarians, and the Qin people are known as Xirong, so I'm afraid these two countries will not interfere." The Zhao people replaced, and there were many Hu Feng in the place, and it was not a country of etiquette. β
"The Lu people are polite, but it is useless. Wei and Han betrayed the alliance, fought hard in Chu, Zhao, and Zhongshan, and fought in the first battle of Nanjishui and the first battle of Yingyi, and the Wei people were shocked and did not dare to interfere. β
"So, who does Childe think will be able to interfere in a few years? If the fight continues, the Mo family will go straight to Linzi, won't the nobles resent the people who started the war? If there is no war, how can the Mo family invade Linzi and change the land? β
Tian Yan thought for a long time, nodded and said, "You're right. So, it's time for us to do something. β
"It's just...... What happens when you're done? The Mo family must put forward more conditions......"
The counselor smiled meaningfully and said, "As a king, do you want to be noble and strong?" If the nobles are strong, the monarch is weak. If you want to be strong, you will be angry with the nobles, don't you hear about the incident of Qu Yi and going to Wei a few years ago because of the change of law in Chudi? For example, all countries today have no immutable law to be strong. β
"The Mo family has carried out land reform in the south of the Great Wall, and the Ji and Wen nobles have been swept away, isn't this an opportunity given by God to the son?"
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to centralize power. The Mo family did a favor and did not touch the interests of the nobles north of the Great Wall, obtained their support, and suppressed the nobles south of the Great Wall. β
"Besides, many of them are loyal to Gongziwu. Gongzi has no ambition to be a prince, so why should he reuse Guan Zhong? Besides, if there is really Guan Zhong among those people, why did he lose all two battles and lose 100,000 troops in Jiwen? β
At this point, Tian Yan couldn't figure it out, this was beyond his comprehension.
Just as he was about to continue inquiring, someone outside made an urgent report, saying that the prince had invited his son into the palace to discuss matters.
A group of strategists said: "Son, don't go." The prince is old and weak, and Gongzi Wu was defeated in Yingyi, and Gongzi is already invincible. The only thing that can defeat you is death. β
"If there is a soldier in the palace, the big thing will be over. If it was in the past, the prince might not be able to do this, but now the situation is not him, and the prince must be on guard. β
In fact, there are many excuses not to go, but once the excuse is used at this sensitive point in time, it is equivalent to declaring that you are going against Tian He.
Tian Yan was a little flustered, worried that if things didn't work out, he would die. I was worried that I would not do well and bear some unnecessary infamy. And it seems that my side is not fully prepared, and if I turn my face at this time, I am afraid that it will fail.
However, for the strategists around them, in addition to their support for Tian Yan, in addition to the kindness of the head of the family back then, there is also the fact that only when Tian Yan is in power, they can show their strength.
Most of them were from low-ranking nobles, and this was the closest way they could enter the temple, and they could not tolerate the danger of being placed under house arrest or killed.
A group of cronies knelt down one after another and persuaded: "Son, if you don't take it now, you will suffer from it!" If the Mo family can stop Gongziwu, how can they tell you first? If Gongzi Wu returns with his troops, and the prince supports him again, how will you deal with yourself? β
"The prince has no way, so that Qi Sheji is about to die. 100,000 heroes died in Wenji, the people were angry, and there were many nostalgia for Jiang Qi's rule, at this time, you are the descendants of the Tian family, and you can't help but consider the foundation of the ancestors after Jing Zhonggong. β
"Yu Guo, you will make peace with the army, and the society will be greatly benefited."
"Yu Jia, you protect the temple and make the Tian family last."
"You can't hesitate any longer."
Looking at the unanimous advice of all his henchmen, Tian Yan said with a bitter face: "If it happens, it depends on your strength." It's just that...... It's just that I'm afraid it won't work out. β
A group of strategists said: "Childe, now that the people of Linzi are at peace, Gongzi raises his arms and shouts, and the people will inevitably respond." As long as hundreds of soldiers invade the palace and follow the story of Jiang Qi in the era, major events can be decided. β
"With Linzi in hand, you can make peace with the Mo family. At that time, even if Gongzi Wu returns with handsome soldiers, Linzi changes hands, and the Mo family interferes, how can he win? β
Following the story of Jiang Qi in the era, this is exactly the path Tian He took back then, and now the strategists around his nephew are knowledgeable and want to instigate a coup.
Seeing this, Tian Yan finally raised a question.
"I don't want to bear the name of killing kings and relatives. In case I don't let ......"
The strategist immediately said: "If you don't give in, as long as you seize the palace and guard it tightly, the prince will always starve to death if you don't eat or drink in the palace." β
"He starved to death, so why did you kill him? How can you assume the name of killing kings and relatives? β
"Today, the prince invited his son into the palace, and he has murderous intentions. Without further ado, today, there should be a big event. β
These strategists are not stupid, unless Tian Yan stabs his uncle to death with his own hands, otherwise whoever does it will have to take the blame, rather than this, it is better to starve Tian He to death, and no one has to bear the responsibility.
