Chapter Seventy-Four: The Problem
The Wuyan clan is also a nobleman, and its ancestors divided the Wuyan Yi after the clan. m. The prosperity of industry and commerce in the Qi State was indispensable, and the Ziqian family contributed a lot, but the Ziqian family of the Qi State did not master the issuance of currency, and was often the target of the imperial court. The Ziqian family had to make contact with the imperial court, tie up with the aristocracy, and find agents so that they could protect their interests in the midst of repeated inflation and deflation.
The Wuyan family can stand out from many Ziqian families and many nobles, precisely because he is both a nobleman and a Ziqian family, and he can contact both the Tian nobles and the Ziqian family. This process took place during the reign of King Qi Xuan, and the symbol was that the forty-year-old leftover girl and ugly girl Zhong Lichun (Wuyan's woman, that is, Zhong Wuyan) magically married King Qi Xuan and became the queen of Qi.
There are very few problems in the world that money cannot solve. It is not so much that Zhong Lichun is virtuous, it is better to say that the Qian family behind Zhong Lichun is rich. It was not Zhong Lichun's virtuous words to remind the Qi Xuan Kingdom that there were four deaths, and then the Qi Kingdom was safe, but the huge capital and strong expansion of the Ziqian family created the prosperity of the Qi Kingdom. The rumor of 'there is nothing to do, nothing to do in summer and spring' is not far away.
However, the taste and vision of the Ziqian family were far inferior to those of the nobles who were born in bloodshed, and the Qi State made a series of unforgivable mistakes during the period of the combination of gold and power. If the rebellion of Yan (314 BC, the rebellion of Yan Guozi, the invasion of Yan by the Qi army, and the hatred of Qi Yan, who had been good for hundreds of years) occurred before the combination of the two, then the defeat of Chu (in 301 BC, the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han defeated Chu in Chuisha, and only Qi and Qin were left among the three strong forces in the world), helping Zhao to destroy Zhongshan (296 BC, Zhongshan was destroyed, Zhao Suiqiang), Emperor Hu (288 BC, Emperor Qin and Qin were mutually emperors), and destroying Song (286 BC, Qi destroyed Song), it was a blind death of vanity who wanted to dominate the world.
The Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, and the centralized power of Qi under the blessing of the Ziqian family and the Jixia Society, which made theoretical preparations for the unification of the world, collapsed together, and local forces rose from then on. The proclaimed King Xiang of Qi had no time to re-establish the centralized power of the previous kings and kings, but was extremely worried that the bloodied nobles who had restored the kingdom would take their place; The queen is also powerless to change the status quo, and she doesn't even dare to leave the available person to her son before she dies, in case the Qi country is in chaos again. Tian Jian continued the rule of his mother's 'Qin Jin, and the princes' until the Battle of Linzi was forced to change the law. This change allowed local forces to occupy the court and play with their own schemes.
Not unlike a millennium later, capital grew up in a desperate need of power to protect itself in the form of mercantilism, which led to the formation of the nation-state. Once they grew up, they wanted to break free from the barriers and shackles of the nation-state and advocate globalization.
The Wuyan clan and the Ziqian family behind the Wuyan clan also had a dream of Qi dominating the world, and after waking up from the dream, they suffered for decades, and finally found that not only the Qi country would die, but the world would also overturn immediately. Not getting on a ship is not the most terrifying, what is terrifying is that what is coming to the west is a terrible empire that does not need capital and labor slaves, only needs officials and official slaves. In view of Tian Jian's weakness, they had to look at the city and farmers, who had never cared about it before.
Maybe the participation of the Qi army in the war can change the fate of the world, maybe not, but the Ziqian family has no other way. However, the Qin people coerced with the proton of Qi, and the nobles of Chu and the farmers of Qi who were bound by the old morality were in a hurry, and the last hope of the Ziqian family was also disappointed.
Wu Yanjia in the military curtain was silent, and the cries in Mo Zheng's sleep came one after another.
The 'goodwill' of the Qin people reached the palace early in the morning, and it was about the prince, Tian Jian had not yet made up his mind, and the queen had already rushed to bed and cried when she heard the news. When Refractive arrived at the main bed, the queen was crying, the couple were whispering, waiting for the confessor, the queen who was crying and her eyes were swollen before she wiped her tears and stopped crying, and sat aside.
"The minister has seen the king and the queen." Refractive saluted the two of them. He didn't wait for Tian Jianxiang to ask, and said: "Tell the king, the Qin general Wang Jian led 600,000 troops, and the widow only had 100,000 troops.
The Qin people were afraid of the Qi country and the war, so they threatened the prince to block the Qi army to Daliang. It's winter now, and it's not more than a month away from the wax sacrifice, and the prince has to return to Qi in January, and Chu and Qin have already fought at that time. If this battle is lost, all the countries will die, the world will be overturned, and the prince will return to the country as a prisoner of Qin again, and the society of Qi will die. Therefore, the minister asked the king to allow the minister to lead the people to fight with him, so as to defend the society and save the world. ”
"Don't listen to what the envoy of Chu says." Qu Guang was not the only one who was in the main bed, but also the doctor of Qi Guo, and Qu Guang was immediately refuted by Da Ji Tian Frame. "What the envoy of Chu did was really to save Chu, and what he said to save Qi was really harmful. Qi people and war, the king of Qin is angry with me for betraying the alliance, killing the prince and destroying the Qi country, and Sheji will die. I will not fight, the prince will return, and the king of Qin will allow me to save the country east of Weishui. ”
"Great King, the words of the Qin people are not credible." Refractive urgency. "If the state of Chu dies and the world dies, how can the state of Qi survive alone? I heard that Dr. Jixia had already gone to Qin to seek for Qin, and what he planned was to go down in one day instead of saving the Qi country......"
"Chu envoy is not my Qi people, and Dr. An Zhiji's plan is not to save Qi?" Tian Jian didn't care about political affairs, and he didn't know that Dr. Jixia had entered Qin, and he was dumbfounded when he heard it. Seeing this, Taihang Tianwei hurriedly interrupted the refraction, for fear that he would say something more.
"If it is to save Qi, why do you always talk about the King of Qin with the five virtues?" Refractive knew that things were much more than Qi people imagined.
Tian Jian's face changed several times when he heard this, and he glared at Tian Wei and said, "Where is Chun Yuyue?" Where is Zou Lu? Seeing that Tian Wei was frightened and didn't dare to answer, he slapped the floor with his hands angrily, and then drank: "Where is Chun Yuyue?" Where is Zou Lu? Did they enter Qin and be used by the Qin people?! ”
Tian Jianren is old but not confused, cowardly and not without a bottom line. I heard that the doctor had entered Qin, and I was even more furious when I heard that the Qin people wanted to rule the world with the five virtues. Wude has always said that it is a theory created by the first monarch Xuan Wang to unify the world for the Qi State, how can it be used by the Qin people? Isn't this the widow's beloved concubine slept with by King Qin?
"The king is angry, the king is angry!" Tian Wei couldn't hold it anymore, and the big manager Tian Zhan immediately came out to speak. "Chu makes all his words, and he also praises the king. The minister also saw Zou Ziren in Jimo yesterday and did not go to Qin. ”
"King Mingjian." Refractive couldn't help but be angry when he was accused of fraud by Tian Zhan, but this was not the time to be angry. "The minister only said that Dr. Ji entered Qin, and persuaded the king of Qin to practice the five virtues, but did not say that Zou Zi entered Qin."
"That's right." Tian Zhan saw that Refractive Light's words proved that his words were true, and he was even more afraid. "Zou Zi is the personal transmission of the five virtues that he has always said, and he must always talk about the king of Qin with the five virtues, why is Zou Zi not coming? Dr. Jixia is uneven, if there is a traitor who has always said that the five virtues of King Qin, it is no longer possible to persuade him to do it.
The Chu envoy is called the State of Qi, but it is actually the State of Chu, and he wants to destroy the alliance between Qi and Qin in order to make the State of Chu have a plan. Even if Qi and Qin are not allied, the battle of Chu and Qin has nothing to do with our Qi people, why did the Chu envoy encourage me to fight with the Qi people? ”
"King Mingjian! The king should know the desires of the Qin people, if the state of Chu dies, the state of Qi will also die. Refractive took two steps forward and shouted, and hurriedly stopped him left and right.
"The king, don't listen to the words of the envoy of Chu!" Tian Zhan also shouted. "The king of Qin has made the prince return to the country, and the kindness of the king of Qin is also. If the king does not accept it, the king of Qin will be angry, how can the country of Qi exist? ”
"The survival of the Qi State is all in the joy and anger of the King of Qin?! Haha, hahahaha......" Refractive laughed angrily. "If the king of Qin is angry again, how will the Qi country be? If the king of Qin wants to destroy Qi for a day, what about the country of Qi? ”
"Presumptuous!" Qu Guang was already laughing, laughing at Qi Guo's cowardice, Tian Zhan shouted. "Chu provokes me, but makes me fight. If the battle is not won, my Qi country will perish. Does the Chu envoy think this battle can be won? ”
"The minister heard that the gentleman died in the country, and the villain stole his life. This battle is unwinnable, and it should be fought. Refractive said disdainfully. If there are 100,000 Qi troops, the defeated Qin army will definitely be defeated. ”
"However, regardless of victory or defeat, the prince of my Qi country will be early." Tian Wei interjected, the queen had stopped crying, but she was caused to cry again by his words, screaming and screaming, and the court debate could not go on immediately. After stopping for a long time, Tian Jian said extremely weakly: "The widow doesn't know how, if this Qi country dies, let him die." ”
"The king is the king of the Qi country, how can he sit back and watch the death of the Qi country and ignore it?" Refractive looked at Tian Jian, who was extremely tired, helplessly.
"Ignore the outnumber?!" Tian Jian seemed to be irritated by his words. "If it weren't for the King of Chu asking me to change the law of Qi Kingdom, why would the widow ignore it? In today's Qi country, the life of the widow is no longer out of the right place, what is the use? Brother Wang will die in charge of the affairs of the Qi country, and Sheng'er will also die in the affairs of the Qi country......"
Complaining, resentful, regretful, helpless, ......these things rolled in Tian Jian's heart, he was tired of state affairs, he wanted to go back to Xizhang's room to smoke a few cannabis cigarettes, and then sleep beautifully. He waved away Qu Guang and the ministers, and when he went down the steps, Tian Wei saluted Qu Guang and said: "The envoy of Chu is a gentleman, and the king does not want to see the envoy of Chu again, please leave Qi and return to Chu." ”
Tian Jian didn't agree to anything, he didn't want to care about anything, and Refractive couldn't convince him. Refractive Light, who understood that there was no hope, returned the salute with a sigh, nodded and said something unexpected by Tian Wei and the others: "Dare to ask the doctors." ”
"Envoy Chu, please speak." Tian Wei glanced at each other with Tian Zhan, Tian Frame and others, and said.
"As far as the matter is concerned, in the battle of Daliang, the Chu army was defeated and the Chu country was destroyed, and the king of Qin ordered Wang Jian to destroy Qi, what is the king?" Refractive looked at Tian Wei and asked this question very sincerely.
"My Qi State and Qin State have an alliance, and the King of Qin should not destroy Qi." Tian Wei and Tian Zhan didn't speak, and Tian Frame answered.
"If he betrays the alliance of the King of Qin and destroys Qi wholeheartedly, what is it?" Refractive asked again. He was worried that a few people would not agree, and said: "If the doctor can't tell the truth, the cheater won't leave." ”
"How can the Chu envoy be untrustworthy in his words?" Tian Wei was a little angry. In all fairness, the Chu people can be trusted, but Qu Guang used this to force himself to tell the truth, which made him very unhappy.
"If the king of Qin betrays the alliance and destroys Qi wholeheartedly, the Qi country will be defeated, and he can only surrender to Qin." Tian Zhan did not shy away from saying.
"Since he can surrender to Qin one day, why don't you fight Qin today?" Refractive smiled and asked again.
But Tian Zhan couldn't answer his question, he only said: "Qin Juxi Rong despises the land but dominates the world, and he has attacked Qin six times and Qin does not die, is this not the destiny of heaven?" This destiny also. If it is the mandate of heaven, what is the benefit of war? Death in the ears of the people. ”
