The subordinates seemed to hear the meaning of the emperor's father, Yue Ling.

Compared with the country, Song, Wei, Chu, and Han are all close neighbors, just like a grass house.

Now there is too much dry firewood and thatch piled up in the grass hut of the Song Kingdom, and it only takes a slight fire to burn, so that the surrounding neighbors will be affected.

Before, the imperial father Yue Ling took the initiative to ask Wei Chu and Han Zhuguo for help, to the effect that I asked you to help me move the firewood and grass out of my house, otherwise once there was a fire, something would happen to my house.

However, Wei Chuhan and the others looked at the remuneration given by the emperor's father, Yue Ling, and after thinking about it, they all refused, because the benefits were insufficient.

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, has now thought clearly, since you don't help, it's simple, my house is already full of firewood and grass, you don't help, right? I'll light a fire myself, and when the time comes, the fire will rise to the sky, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will affect you, and even if I don't give you any benefit, won't you come to help?

Such a thing as a rebellion was not instigated by a small number of people, and the purest and most professional "revolutionaries" were always nobles and the like.

Song Guo is now like a house full of firewood, and the slightest spark will burst into flames, which is difficult to control.

It's just that...... It's a question of who lit the fire.

There are many cases of aristocratic coups, and there is indeed a kind of era when princes and generals are like, and the aristocratic coups are reasonable, and the old system and rules are recognized, which is nothing more than the set of becoming kings and defeating coups.

However, if someone outside the aristocratic circle, or even someone of commoner origin, lit the fire, it would be beyond the existing rules.

There have been riots in the Song Kingdom, the Qi Rebellion, the Zheng Rebellion, and even the Zhou Tianzi Rebellion, but the result of the rebellion was to choose another person from the palace or nobles to take the throne.

Such an outcome was acceptable to the rulers of the old era. For example, Bao, the son of the Song State back then, also launched a coup d'état after inviting the hearts of the people and killed the monarch with the help of his lover, but the countries did not interfere and quickly recognized his throne.

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, means that the Song Kingdom, which is now full of firewood, is just a change of master in the eyes of outsiders, although it is a little overstepping, but it is still within the rules of the nobility.

For example, if Dai Cong ascended the throne, it was nothing more than the Dai family taking the Song Dynasty, not the Huang family taking the Song Dynasty, after the Tian family and the three families were divided, all countries have seen more, and they are not surprised to see it, and they may not even bother to express any opinion on this, and it is logical to give a formal duke.

But what if this wasn't a coup d'état of the aristocracy? Not even a revolt of the countrymen disguised as a coup d'état of the aristocracy? What if it was an even more violent revolt that drove out even the nobles?

At that time, the princes of various countries must also send troops to intervene not for the sake of the imperial father's family, but for themselves.

Otherwise, if the Song Kingdom can do this, why can't it be done elsewhere?

The meaning of the emperor's father, Yue Ling, was understood by all the henchmen.

One said: "It makes sense. ”

"Although Sishang is strong, four years ago, he had a grudge against Wei Hanqi, ran the South China Sea, and overthrew Louyangyu, and there were many local rebellions that were not subdued; The power is strong and seeks the Song State, and Chu will have a grudge. ”

"They seem to be strong, but they don't want to fight. If not, why do we need to support Dai Cong? There are many Song people among the ink people, and there are many ignorant people among the Song people who want to submit to Sishang, if they are really willing to fight, it is very easy to enter the Song Dynasty. ”

"More than 20 years ago, during the Shangqiu Change, the ambition of the Mo family wolf was not exposed, so he borrowed the coup d'état of the nobles to seek personal interests to prevent the shaking of various countries."

"Now I'm afraid it's the same means, trying to use the coup d'état to prevent countries from shaking."

The rest of the people also nodded, and after being reminded by the emperor's father, Yue Ling, they all understood the meaning of this.

The Mo family wanted to disguise the affairs of the Song Kingdom as a "brotherly dispute", and the nobles were in civil strife, even though all countries understood that this was not just a simple matter of aristocratic civil strife, but the Mo family made an example and gave the princes a step down; Second, the princes of various countries are really unable to move, five years ago since the Central Plains War, the vitality of all countries has not yet recovered, and most of them may obey under a step.

A group of strategists looked at the emperor's father, Yue Ling, and their hearts were shocked.

If the emperor's father Yue Ling set this fire, it would actually be easier to do.

The Dai clan who directly grabbed and danced the happiest one; announced a ban on Mohist activities in the Song Kingdom; the forced dissolution of each township school; It is forbidden for anyone to preach the morality of the Mohists; the execution of some of the most prestigious among the people; Mass executions of people who have something to do with the Mo family.

Now that the Song Kingdom is on the verge of complete chaos, once it is done, then the consequences can be imagined.

Some of the more radical people in Shangqiu would immediately rise up, and after the Dai clan was executed, the leaders could only be ordinary people who had no right to touch the throne.

The nobles can coup d'état at will, as long as they can win.

But if the common people take the lead, it will break the rules that princes and generals do have a kind of rule.

Especially the more ruthless the killing on his side, the more serious the revenge on the other side will be.

And there are a few fiefs where the aristocracy has very little power, as long as they can be pulled into the water, when the time comes, a group of people who think of equality will be killed in Shangqiu, and those who cause trouble will be murderous when they retaliate, and finally reach a completely uncontrollable situation, and it is best to kill a few nobles with very little power.

If you can send people to blend in with the crowd and use hatred to hang those nobles, dismember their bodies, behead them, etc., there will definitely be an uproar in the world.

At that time, it would be impossible for the princes of all countries not to come forward, and the common people would cut off the heads of the nobles, and even carry out the terrifying confrontation of the common people, and it would be impossible for any of the princes of all countries to sit still.

Because if you cut off the heads of the Song nobles today and don't punish them, you may have your own heads hung up tomorrow.

The nobles who make the first move will not be blamed by the princes, but will praise them for killing well. But if civilians retaliate, it will break the rules and mess up the world, and they must not be killed.

Thinking of such a situation, many people showed unbearable expressions on their faces, and their compassion was exposed.

When the time comes, Shangqiu will inevitably be a river of blood, and he will first completely arrest and slaughter those who have prestige and ability among the people, and even if the remaining people rise up to riot, they can control the situation.

Shangqiu is bleeding like a river, which means that some aristocratic fiefs outside Shangqiu will also be bleeding like a river, once the common people are instigated, mixed with some of them to incite hatred, the nobles can kill the common people, and the common people can also kill the nobles.

At that point, great things can be done.

Even if you can shout to remove the Mo Weidao, the countries of Wei, Chu and Han must send troops, and it is impossible to choose to reconcile with the Mo family.

As long as Wei Chuhan sends troops, Qi Yue will also send troops, and then the Sheji of the Song State can be preserved.

Although it may be greatly damaged, or even destroyed in the war, with 100,000 dead and wounded, it is not important, the important thing is that the imperial father family will become the only one who can recognize the power of the Song State in various vassal states.

Imperial father Yue Ling considered the strength of Sishang, even if Wei Chuhan sent troops together, it would be impossible to completely occupy Sishang.

But in the same way, Sishang definitely did not have the strength to win the alliance of Wei, Chu, Han, Qi, Yue, Song, and Wei.

Under the stalemate, countries will inevitably choose the Song State that needs an existence as the front line against Sishang, and the imperial father Yue Ling can seize the time to complete various centralized changes and stabilize his power.

In the future, when there are changes in the world, it may be possible to restore the hegemony of Xianggong in the past, and even the glory of Chengtang.

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, was sure that if he didn't make up his mind, either the Song Kingdom would be divided up, or he would die in Sishang, so it would be better to give it a go.

As for the future of the Song Kingdom, the imperial father Yue Ling has already made plans.

If you really want to be ruthless and let the Song Kingdom bleed like a river and be reborn from the ashes, then what you need to do now is to reconcile with the rest of the nobles who had conflicts before because of the centralization of power, and tell them to unite against the real enemy and extinguish the flames of rebellion at the bottom.

If you centralize power, at most, you can take back some power, and you can always preserve the strength of the family.

But if there is a rebellion at the bottom, it will be turned upside down, and then all families will be destroyed by uncontrollable anger.

When Wei Chu and Han Si were tired of fighting, he also had his own ideas.

Nowadays, all countries are changing their laws, and the means of changing their laws are also different.

Aside from the impossible to learn, there are basically so many kinds.

The Wei State changed the law, starting from Xihe, and the corresponding military system was Xihe Wushu, which was a semi-conscription system, which was a continuation of the military merit system of the Three Jin Dynasty.

The current changes of the Qin State are the same, the same, and it is also a military merit system.

But the road of Song Guo is no longer possible.

Because the situation faced by the Song State is that the land has been carved up by the nobles, there is no room for victory in foreign wars, unlike Qin, Wei and even Chu, which have room for external expansion to maintain the military merit system.

And because this time it needs to be reconciled with the previous nobles, it leads to no land.

The Qin state collected a group of nobles, vacated part of the land, and then expanded westward.

The change in the early Wei state was to directly seize the Xihe, drive out the Qin nobles there, and vacate the land for the rest.

The Song State has no land to occupy and no land to divide, and now that it wants to reconcile with the nobles, it is impossible to move their interests.

That being the case, the imperial father Yue Ling thinks, why can't he take another path?

His own fief was the largest and most numerous in the entire Song State, and he granted his fief to the peasants in the fief in exchange for their service.

They do not have to pay any taxes other than for military service, only blood tax obligations.

And the taxes come from homesteaders, industrialists and merchants.

Constantly instigating the contradiction between the two sides who do not pay the tax.

By constantly squeezing the yeoman peasants and businessmen, causing them to lose their land and wealth, and thus becoming destitute serfs, and then taking their land and awarding them as a reward for military merit to the private army to cultivate the land, he expanded the population and the size of the land under his control.

When the time comes, raise a private soldier who is completely loyal to him and has a personal attachment to him.

The rest of the nobles can also do the same, but they have less land and less population, so their private soldiers are also few, and the royal father family with the most private soldiers in the entire Song State can suppress the rest of the nobles with those private soldiers, so that the family is dominant.

In order to ensure part of the interests of the rest of the nobles, and to retract some of the power, it is possible to continue the existence of the Inquiry Yuan, so that each nobleman can serve as officials, cut off the passage of the bottom to rise, and make the various families maintain a consistent attitude in the matter of fighting against the bottom.

Because the farmers who granted land in their fiefdoms did not need to pay taxes, and they could even share more land if they had military exploits, they must be loyal to themselves.

The interests of those who rebelled against the yeoman farmers, industrialists and merchants, because they had to bear the taxes, and those who had no taxes and only had to serve, would never be merciless when they killed them.

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, felt that this was a kind of retro, recovering the ancient of the country and the wild; The ancient of the reinstated gentleman Henggui.

At that time, those yeoman farmers and industrialists and merchants will be like savages, who only pay taxes and have no rights or obligations to serve in the army.

Because they had land and did not need to pay taxes, they did not have the interests of land and non-tax claims, thus completely dividing the bottom of the Song State into two types, causing them to fight each other and accumulate hatred.

In the selection of talents, the policy of Shangxian was not adopted at all, but the aristocracy was given priority, so that the nobles of each family monopolized the top of the entire Song State, and relied on their own military strength and family power to rank into the center of power.

Only in this retro way can it be possible to maintain the society of the Song Dynasty.
