Chapter 164: The End of Self-castration

Zhao Yang was indifferent to Ziyue's reproach and asked back: "Why are Mr. Zheng?"

Now it's Zheng State's coward.

It is no longer an era of respecting etiquette and abiding by etiquette. What’s the use of talking nonsense?

In the past, the main reason for respecting the power of the monarchs, and the authority of the monarchs of the nations was very strong. In the relationship between them, they respected etiquette and were worried that they were liquidated by the monarchs of their own country would not be able to surpass the basis of the ministers. They also needed to treat the monarchs of their own country with courtesy.

Others may not be so straightforward, so Zhao Yang asked Zheng Junsheng directly where the victory was. The meaning was nothing more than that Zheng Junsheng would not come. The Jin army would continue to move south until the troops surrounded "Xinzheng".

Ziyu looked at Zhao Yang with a stunned expression for a while, and it was obvious that he felt incredible about what was happening.

Although Zheng Junsheng was the king of Zheng, he was also a prince at least.

The "Qing" of Jin State was a throne, but not a real vassal.

"It seems that the authority of the monarch of Jin State has been completely lost." Ziyu thought to himself.

Jin Junwu's authority had long been lost. Otherwise, Zhao Yang had not sent anyone back to pick him up last time, so why didn't anyone say anything?

If it was a serious alliance, although Zhao Yang was the "Yuan Rong" of Jin State, he could not sign the alliance on behalf of Jin State.

Zhao Yang believed that Zheng State could not believe it, and the rest agreed, and did not think that Jin Junwu needed to go south. It seemed reasonable, but the fight was actually doing something to despise the monarchy.

Ziyue asked, "Will the Marquis of Jin arrive?"

Zhao Yang said: "I am fine."

Ziyu looked at the other "Qing" present in Jin State, and was a little confused about whether Jin Junwu was so sick that he could not go south.

He is from Zheng. Even though he knows that Jin does not attach importance to the longevity of the alliance, and knows in his heart that Jin does not trust Zheng, he will definitely not be able to say it on his lips.

Zheng Junsheng is already in the city of "Hanling". Once Jin Junwu does not appear, the person who comes to sign the alliance will not be the king of a country anyway, at most the ruler or crown prince will come forward.

"Is he angry with Zheng?" Ziyue heard that Zhao Yang was a person who did not value etiquette and law, and Zhao Yang always did something shocking, but he still didn't believe that Zhao Yang dared to be the one who destroyed the authority of the princes in the world.

Finally, Ziyu mentioned that he needed to go back and report.

This time, Ziyu knew very well that even if he mentioned it, he would bring shame on himself and did not ask that the Jin army should stay in place again.

After the envoy of Zheng State left, Zhao Yang repeatedly emphasized that Zheng State was untrustworthy, and then led a large army to continue to approach "Hanling".

What Zhao Yang and other Jin people did not expect was that Zheng State reacted very quickly this time, and Ziyue came over again the day after leaving.

The person who represented Zheng Junsheng to be responsible for full authority was Crown Junyi, who could also be called Gongzi Yi based on current customs.

There were not many people coming from Zheng State, including Gongzi Yi, only more than 200 people.

"Zheng State is really not sincere." Zhao Yang said.

You should know that signing an alliance is not about writing a letter of alliance, or something. Even if it is completed, only two hundred people came from Zheng State. How should all etiquette be carried out?

Even if you play house, it’s not like this!

"I suddenly fell seriously ill, and it was not because I was rude to Jin." Ziyue said while crying.

Is Zheng Junsheng sick? Or is it a very sudden disease???

Before, Zhao Yang said that Jin Junwu was sick, but now Prince Yi said that Zheng Junsheng was sick too. What a coincidence!

Such a sudden incident, even if it is fake, seems to be forgiven?

After all, Zheng State itself can use the king as a prey, and can avoid it for a while. The country's credibility is hit. What should happen in the future will inevitably happen, and fraud will seem to be very detrimental.

Zhao Yang knew it was fake, but he had no intention of breaking it. He directly proposed the content of the alliance of Jin State.

According to the requirements, Zheng State needs to compensate a lot, including some cities around the "Hulao", as well as related materials and population.

The alliance that Zhao Yang took out did not mention how much protection fee Zheng should pay to Jin every year. This alone made Gongzi Yi's face change drastically.

"Yi has prepared food..." Gongzi Yi saw the coldness in Zhao Yang's eyes.

What is food? In fact, it is a banquet that includes etiquette, and it is quite meaningful to choose such a word.

The current situation is that Gongziyi needs to conduct internal discussions to discuss whether to agree to the request of Jin State, or what needs to be supplemented by this party.

Zhao Yang said expressionlessly: "The important thing is the key."

Wei Gau wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and still shut up.

The current situation is obviously that Zhao Yang is pressing forward step by step towards Zheng State, which is very meaningless to force Zheng State to be humiliated and choose to continue to resist.

"Why is there no diplomatic ritual?" Gongzi Yi could not delay and could not discuss internally, so he had to ask carefully.

Zhao Yang made a low voice and asked back, "General Zheng obeyed?"

Without waiting for Prince Yi to answer, Zhao Yang continued to say: "If I (Jin State) is strong, Zheng should contribute; if I decline, Zheng Yi will also make him do it. If I do not mention it here."

At this moment, the young master easily felt the domineering aura coming to his face.

That was Zhao Yang's firm belief that under his leadership, Jin State would inevitably restore hegemony. At that time, Zheng State would not only pay back what Jin State owed, but also add interest.

There was no alliance on that day.

Prince Yi returned to his station and said to his left and right: "It is my misfortune that Zhao Meng is so dictatorial."

Zheng State is actually unwilling to cause this situation. Who made the Jin Dynasty split itself before? And it was the Fan family and the Zhongxing family that were targeted by the Zhao family?

In the eyes of the countries, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family were powerful in Jin State. They received the invitation from the Fan family and participated in it in terms of profitability.

The development of the situation is very unexpected. Even though the civil strife in Jin State has come to an end, they are still unbelievable about the failure of Fan and Zhongxing families.

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is

To be honest, Fan and Zhongxing look really powerful. With paper data, Fan can beat Zhao and Han, and there is another Zhongxing family that can match Wei. As for Zhi, isn’t he still tied to Zhongxing family?

At the beginning of the development of the situation, the Fan family and Zhongxing family gathered much more troops than the Zhao family, Han family and Wei family, and the Zhi family also adopted neutrality as expected.

What I never expected was that the Fan family and Zhongxing family, which seemed so powerful, could take advantage of the Han family, but they were defeated again and again against the Zhao family and Wei family.

What's going on!?

It turns out that Fan and Zhongxing are so powerful and capable, but Zhao and Wei are so capable. They are just a dog, okay?

Zheng State is now forced into a corner, and I wish I could go back to the point where I could interfere with the internal affairs of Jin, and then cut off the envoy sent by Shi Jishe.

"It's only because of the power of Chu," Ziyu said embarrassedly.

Yes? Zheng State was caught in the middle and was mixed with doubles from Jin and Chu State. There was no way to jump left and right, but because of repeated jumps left and right, he got the nickname of an old surrendered country, and in more than 20 years he has gone from a first-class power to a second-class country.

After Zichan's operation, Zheng State finally recovered its vitality. Is it necessary to restore its previous tragic situation now?

Many people in Zheng State who occupy high positions now look foolish at first glance, but there is no such person as Zichan who can replace him, even if there is no one behind Zichan.

Why did Zheng State become like this? It can only be said that Zichan made Zheng State stronger for a while, but the reforms carried out made Zheng State destined to decline rapidly in the future.

Zichan's reforms can be summarized as using nobles of different surnames to feed the nobles of Zheng State, strengthening the strength of the nobles of Zheng State, and then causing a large number of nobles of different surnames to die out.

With the background of the times, it cannot be said that Zichan did something wrong. He just strengthened the public clan according to mainstream needs. During the process, the Si family, Du family, Hou family, Zishi family, and Wei family rebelled, and some Zheng nobles whose interests were damaged also rebelled. In terms of Zichan and the other public clans, they seemed to be just eliminating pests.

A large number of nobles from different surnames could not survive in Zheng State, so they could only choose to go out, which was considered as Zheng State that took place in the Spring and Autumn Period to transport talents to the various countries.

After that, Zheng State eliminated the threat from aristocrats of different surnames to avoid the risk of "disrupting the government of the nobles" like Jin State, and suddenly made a large number of public clans raise into pigs.

"How about it, what about it..." Even if Gongzi Yi knew that the reform had a vicious result, he would definitely not admit it. He was very worried about how to make Jin give up his revenge.

Ziyue asked, "Why don't you imitate Zikong?"

When Young Master Yi heard this, his face changed.

Who is that Zikong? He was the ruler of Zheng State and was also a good player in playing the "Seven Injury Fist". In order to make Jin State believe in the sincerity of Zheng State's surrender, he sent troops to make the Jin army beat him up and weakened the strength of Zheng State.

Why did Zikong do that? The main reason is that Zheng State is not strong or weak is embarrassing. Standing on the side of Jin State, you can threaten Chu State, and standing on the side of Chu State, you can threaten Jin State, so you simply choose to fight with the Jin army, losing most of your existing strength and submitting to the drama of Jin State.

To be more thorough, the threat to anyone who is weak in Zheng State will be reduced. Whether or not he is sincerely surrendering to anyone is no longer important. Zheng State itself holds firmly on Jin State's thighs.

This time, the Zheng State interfered with the civil strife of Jin State. In fact, after Zheng State surrendered to Jin State, it was Fan's fault for the fact that Jin State was responsible for establishing diplomatic relations with Zheng State.

It is easier to understand. Zheng Guo was completely shot by Shiji and brought into the sinkhole.

Gongzi Yi's face kept changing, indicating that he was fighting against heaven and man in his heart. Finally, he shook his head and said, "If you use the same trick again, there may be a sudden silence, and Cai will be in danger!"

The Dun Kingdom was swallowed up by the Chu Kingdom not long ago.

Cai State was simply moved by all the Chu people. If nothing unexpected happens, it is also the dish in Chu State's bowl and will be eaten sooner or later.

Zheng State lost considerable troops during the period of interference in Jin's internal chaos. It is hard to say whether it can protect itself if it loses another wave.

"So..." Ziyue smiled bitterly for a while and said, "The south is connected to Chu, the east is connected to Song, and the north is involved in Wei, and Zhi?"

Young Master Yi shook his head again.

If you really get involved with other countries, do you dislike being beaten by Jin State for not being cruel enough?

Prince Yi thought for a while and said, "Maybe you can contact Wei and Zhi?"

Only when I am stupid can I believe that the nobles of Jin can truly unite, right?

Currently, the Wei family and the Zhi family are allies. They are united to fight against the Zhao family and Han family. With Jin Junwu supporting the Hu family, the chaos in Jin may give Zheng a space to operate in diplomatic relations?
