Chapter 939: Stones and Feet

Lu Yi is very young now, right? It is precisely because of his young age that when the ministers talk about something, they will always deliberately stop and explain something.

No, his uncle and grandson, who had learned from the past and the present, saw that Lu Yi was interested in the expansion of the outside world in the pre-Qin era in ancient times, and he began to introduce it.

"Accepting the submission of a foreign race, and then relocating the foreign race to the interior for settlement, such a thing has become a habit since the Shang generation." Uncle Sun Tong looked at Xiao He as he spoke.

Xiao He nodded and said, "Indeed." Therefore, it is feasible for us to move the Hu people in northern Xinjiang inward. ”

Lu Yi knew some of the history of the Shang Dynasty, and he remembered that during the Shang Dynasty, the successive Taishi were the military commanders of the whole country, and their responsibility was to lead the troops to war.

"Far from there are too many records, Wen Zhong at the end of the Shang Dynasty, he was a figure with great military achievements, in addition to serving as an auxiliary government in his life, what he did the most was to lead troops to subdue the alien races around the Great Shang." Shusun Tong spoke wittily, not looking old-fashioned, and said in a story-telling manner: "Taishi Wenzhong successively defeated the Rong people and the Di people, expanded a lot of land in the west and north for the Great Shang Dynasty, and also accepted many Rong and Di people to become the subjects of the Great Shang Dynasty. In the second half of his life, he basically ran around the road of conquering Nanban and Dongyi, and he had the most conquests against Dongyi. ”

The generals present looked at each other for a while, and they were a little puzzled whether it was appropriate to tell a story on such an occasion, but seeing Lu Yi's interested face, no one could say anything.

"Later, when Wen Zhong was conquering Dongyi, one of the princes of the country, the Ji family, raised a clan to attack the Communist Party, which caused him to have to return to the army when he pursued the king of Dongyi, so that the war against Dongyi was a failure, and he came to a tiger's head." Lu Jia took over the end of his uncle's words, and also explained in a humorous way: "The Shang generation is a gathering of clans, that is, people with blood relations gather in one place to become a family, and then the family forms one vassal state after another. For example, Zhou, surnamed Ji, is one of them. ”

Being a good teacher is an interest of literati, and it is also one of the most popular things for literati to show their erudition on some occasions.

Most of the history of the Shang Dynasty that Lu Yi knows is actually from the literary novel "Fengshen Bang", and he really doesn't know much about the official history, so he is even more interested in listening to it.

The audience was interested, and Shusun Tong spoke more energetically: "At that time, because of the phenomenon of migration, people did not stay in one place for a long time, so they actually lived a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic life, and even in the Spring and Autumn Period, they maintained the habit of semi-farming and semi-nomadism. Therefore, it is always necessary to see the capital of a country change. ”

Lu Jia saw Lu Yi's confused expression and explained, "Why do people have to move for a while in the Spring and Autumn Period? That's because there was no underground drainage system in the city at that time, and the city was so dirty that it was considered uninhabitable anymore, so it was natural to relocate. ”

"The last capital of the Shang Dynasty is Chaoge, after Wen Zhong led the troops back to Chaoge, the Shang Emperor Xin summoned the princes to come to Chaoge, which specifically named Ji Li (Ji Chang's father) must also go to Chaoge in person, in order to ask why the Zhou State attacked the Communist State." Shusun Tong seems to have a certain amount of research on business history and Zhou history, so he stopped and sold a pass. Waiting for everyone to come and look at it, he continued: "What kind of country is the Republic? She is a country that coexisted with the Great Shang in a historical period, and was also one of the vassal states of the Great Shang. It was the communists who first attacked Zong Zhou, the capital of Zhou, and then attracted Ji Chang to lead his troops back. ”

Lü Yi happened to know this period of history, and his memory was that Emperor Xin, the son of Shang Tianzi, dealt with the Zhou State and the Communist State by playing fifty boards each. After mediation, the matter seems to have reached a point, but it is only "seemingly".

Later, Shusun Tong continued to explain and confirmed that Lu Yi's memory was not wrong, and after the princes who were summoned to the court went back, Emperor Xin, the co-lord of the world, sent Wen Zhong out again. Continuing to fight against Dongyi, this time the army of the Great Shang can be said to have poured out, making a suit that is bound to subdue Dongyi. took out the determination to make Dongyi a part of Zhuxia.

"The following events are recorded in history, the Zhou State did not really accept mediation, and the Zhou army attacked the Communist Party again and destroyed the Communist Party." Shusun Tong said this, his face was a little weird: "Di Xin was very annoyed when he knew that the Zhou State was destroyed and the Communist Republic of China was destroyed, so he summoned Ji Li to Chaoge again, and after a period of reprimand, Ji Li was placed under house arrest in Chaoge. ”

According to the records of the Zhou History, Di Xin Ke was a brutal and absurd person, but according to the urine nature of "history is written by the victors", many historical records are actually unreliable.

Shusun Tong has already had some aftertaste, and it is not a good thing to talk about the history of the end of the Shang Dynasty to the royal family, after all, the history of the end of the Shang Dynasty is the history of the rebellion of the courtiers, in fact, he has already regretted taking such a talk, because the empire also implements the feudal system.

Lü Zhe appointed Lü Yi as the supervisor of the state, and he has initially revealed his attitude of canonizing Lü Yi as the crown prince.

What is the Prince? The crown prince is the prince, that is, the successor of the next emperor, and to tell the history of the rebellion of the courtiers against the lord with the person who may become the next emperor, isn't that a reminder that we should beware of the feudal vassal states?

Shusun Tong reacted, but some people didn't stop talking, and they said a little energetically.

"Ji Li is under house arrest in Chaoge, what is the attitude of his son Ji Chang? Ji Chang didn't stop. Lu Jia said in an absurd tone: "Ji Chang doesn't know what he is thinking, he actually sent troops to attack neighboring countries continuously, and even because a series of wars affected the logistics supply line of Taishi Wenzhong's war against Dongyi, the emperor of the world was so angry that he was choked enough. ”

Uncle Sun Tong "coughed" twice, hinting at Lu Jia with his eyes.

Lu Jia said happily, and didn't pay attention to Shusun Tong's hints, and some people next to him who also came back to their senses had various expressions on their faces.

"Di Xin threatened Ji Chang to kill Ji Li if he didn't stop, but Ji Chang still went his own way, who should he attack or continue to attack, and even made some 'Fengming Qishan' mythical auspicious rui come out, so that the angry Di Xin killed Ji Li, made Ji Li into a meat pie, and sent someone to send meat cakes for Ji Chang to eat." Speaking of this, the expression on Lu Jia's face was a little disdainful: "Ji Chang really ate a meatloaf made of his father's meat, but this also became an excuse for the Zhou State to rebel, shouting the slogan 'The king of Shang has no way, and the world will seek it together'." contacted several tribes in Dongyi to reach an alliance, and gathered several vassal states to send troops to the court. ”

"Huh!" Lu Yi smiled, the ancients he knew were really like this, and what auspicious rui was made before the rebellion had always been the same routine. He kept nodding his head and urged Lu Jia: "Doctor, you go on." ”

Lu Jia was encouraged and said more energetically: "Aren't all the armies of the Great Shang sent out to conquer Dongyi? There is basically no army left in the country, and the result is really that the army gathered by Ji Chang has no obstacles all the way...... According to the records of the history of Zhou, it was the civilian Qianshou who ate pot pulp all the way to welcome the king's division, and directly sent the army united by Ji Chang to the city of Chaoge. ”

Ironically, the Shang Dynasty was stabbed from the inside when it was engaged in foreign wars. The following offenders gave themselves enough beautification, and "eating pot pulp to welcome the king" appeared for the first time in the historical records.

The frequency of Shusun Tong's coughing increased, and his face became a little bad.

No matter how the history of Zhou is beautified, but the facts are always the facts, and the surname Zhou Guo is guilty of committing crimes as a minister, is it really good to say these things to an emperor who may be the future?

The empire is indeed a feudal system, but this feudal system is different from any previous feudal country, which was to give fiefs, and the princes have completely autonomous control over the fiefs. That is, the "co-lord of the world" cannot interfere in the governance of the vassal states, and the vassal states only fulfill their duty of allegiance when they are called.

What is the situation of the sub-sealing system proposed by Lu Zhe? There are two different divisions of outer seal and inner seal, and different seals also have different management authority, that is, there are limited management rights of sub-sealing. The lords at all levels only have a part of the jurisdictional benefits, and they are subject to many restrictions, not to mention that the fiefdom production must be handed over to forty percent, and there is also a strict division of the private soldiers that each level of nobles can have.

Most of the people in the side halls of the council hall are nobles. They have their own "Yi soil", such as Xiao He's title in Pei County, and Ji Bu's title in Yugan County...... Wait a minute. There are large and small feudal lords, and each has its own private army, Xiao He, as a fourth-class duke, has an establishment of 3,000 private soldiers, and the fourth-class marquis Ji Bu also has a private army of 1,000.

The food and salary of private soldiers need to be paid by the nobles themselves, not by the state, in fact, whether they can reach the full establishment depends on the financial resources of each noble, and most nobles do not have enough financial resources to reach the full number.

The private soldiers of the nobles did not strictly stipulate where they must be stationed, but they all coincidentally placed their private soldiers in the feudal domains of various places, and a small number of the mansions of the imperial capital Nanling were placed as guards.

Lu Yi's eyes have been scanning the civil and military ministers, and the nobles of the empire also have their own family crests, such as Xiao He's family crest is a pattern of a rice seedling, Ji Bu's family crest is a checkered shield, and the rest of the nobles also have their own patterns.

The family has a family crest is not a "specialty" in the far west, in fact, since the Xia generation, the application of the family crest in China has always been, but it has to be at the level of princes to have, before it was used as a banner, and the empire under the rule of Lu Zhe will be made into some trinkets to wear on the body.

Sometimes Lu Yi always feels weird when he sees the family crests of various nobles, maybe it is because of preconceived notions, he always feels that some of the things that his father does are very "Western".

What is the final outcome of the Shang generation? It was the army of the Great Shang that opened up to the outside world, but it was rebelled by the internal vassal states, and the Chaoge fell under the internal emptiness, and Emperor Xin set himself on fire to the city, and the history of the Shang Dynasty's rule also came to an end.

After the Zhou royal family surnamed Ji took over the ruling power, they took over the important task of opening up outward, but the environment of the Zhou royal family was much more difficult than that of the Shang royal family, all because the Shang royal family had too many royal family members who fled abroad, and these members of the Shang royal family established their own countries or tribes outside, and their favorite thing in their lives was to make the Zhou royal family unhappy.

Zhou Tianzi has been doing one thing in the past dynasties, that is, to send troops to attack the remnants of the Shang royal family, and after subduing one, he will divide it and make it into the rule of the Zhou royal family, but because most of the troops are involved in targeting the remnants of the Great Shang, Xirong, Beidi, Dongyi, and Nanban can be a little overwhelmed, and more than once the Zhou Dynasty has been attacked by foreign races, forcing Zhou Tianzi to only embark on the road of escape.

Like the ancestors of Qin, they were encountered on the way of Zhou Tianzi's escape, the ancestors of Qin gave Zhou Tianzi some help, and then Zhou Tianzi thanked the ancestors of Qin for their help and canonized them as nobles, and let those Qin people raise horses for the Zhou royal family, and the vassal states of the Zhou royal family appeared with "Qin" as the country name.

Speaking of this, Lu Jia was interrupted by Shusun Tong, and he finally found that the atmosphere in the side hall was a little weird.

Can it not be spooky? Isn't it bad to talk about the history of the prince who may become the next emperor of the empire, or the history of the following crimes? However, under the feudal system, they are all beneficiaries.

"Why did it stop?" Lu Yizheng listened attentively, and after he asked, he looked at Wenwu, whose expressions were mostly wrong.

Luo Shao immediately turned the topic to other places and talked about the affairs of the Japanese Islands.

A thing that is not a secret, it is a matter that everyone knows that Lu Yi, who is still young, is very interested in the Japanese Islands, Luo shook the beginning, and then both civil officials and military generals will follow this topic.

Of course, Lu Yi was interested in the Japanese Islands, but he was thinking about other things now, and it was a little uncomfortable to listen to Wenwu talk about the Japanese Islands.

"Take history as a mirror? Xia, Shang, and Zhou were all divided into feudal systems, and with the weakening of the co-lords of the world, the feudal vassal states arose, and the vassal states replaced the original co-lords of the world as the rulers......" Lu Yi didn't listen to what Wenwu was saying, and weighed it in his heart: "Dad obviously knows that this will happen, why do you still implement such a policy?" Is it the idea that fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, or is it the idea that the feudal system is better than centralization? ”

Previously, Uncle Sun Tong made a start, and Lu Jia spoke energetically later, they would not have expected the impact of this unintentional move. If it could be predicted, Shusun Tong would not say much even if he cut off his tongue, and Lu Jia would not speak so vigorously.

It is recorded in the history of the empire that Lü Zhe abdicated and Lü Yi took over, and Lü Yi, who became the emperor, was to reform the feudal system again, shrinking the rights of the nobles, leading to turmoil within the empire, and the westward expansion of the empire was forced to stop......
