Everything comes first, and the Yuanfang Gate, although it can be restored, will not lose its power.
The heaven and earth, the vertical and horizontal movement, the Yinjiu Sacrifice Ceremony... although it is under Li Yuan's control, but from another perspective... the reversal of Yin and Yang is not impossible.
A faint mysterious light flickered around Wei Zhuang's body, and a pair of divine eyes fell on Ning Chu's body again.
Today's general situation among the Xia states is that Qin dominates the world and Shandong states are weak. This is the status quo and cannot be defended.
But among the countries in Shandong, Chu is the only one with the most strength and potential to compete with Qin. It has vast mountains and rivers and millions of people. The Chu people are brave and good at fighting, and their martial arts are not inferior to Qin.
.
What is lacking is a strong king and the power to integrate the entire Chu State. If the entire Chu State can be firmly controlled in its hands, then it will definitely have the power to fight.
"The members of the Lao Shi clan were killed by Li Yuan. This... Li Yuan has no way out, but... the Lao Shi clan will also fall into a short-term chaos. They will attack each other with the force of war, and the strength of Chu will be depleted."
"This is not what I want to see."
Nian Chu looked surprised at first, then shook his head, looking at it clearly, within the Chu Kingdom, the royal family was in charge of everything, but in fact, for the vast territory of the Chu Kingdom, the real controllers were the old family.
More than a hundred years ago, Wu Qi wanted to reform the Chu State, but he died before he could do it.
If a member of the Lao Shi clan is killed, there will definitely be a confrontation between his clan and the forces to which Li Yuan belongs. Then, in a short period of time, Chu will be in chaos and its national power will be depleted. At the same time, the Qin Kingdom is taking over the world. It is not something a wise person would do.
"Young master, have you never heard of the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profiting?"
"If we proceed slowly, Li Yuan can be eliminated, but according to the agreement between the young master and the old family, plus Xiang Yan's plan, when... the young master was the king of Chu, what is the difference between him and the current king of Chu?
"
"If we give up a little and let the old family and Li Yuan's clan confront each other, the young master can uphold the name of righteousness and truly control his own power. As it is, after a few years, the old family will be weak and Li Yuan's clan will no longer exist."
"With great power in hand, only a king like King Qin Ying Zheng can preserve the country of Chu."
The man in black clothes and silver hair had a cold expression on his face all the time. With a whisper in his mouth, he slowly stood up from his seat, held the sword in his hand, and moved slowly in the side hall.
The state of Chu is now weak!
Those old families are also weak, otherwise, Li Yuan would not be able to take over the power of regent so easily. At this time..., it is not only the best time to get rid of Li Yuan, but also to use Li Yuan's hand to consume the power of the old families.
When the time comes, the old family is no longer a constraint, and he will be the real king of Chu.
"Wu Qi served as Ling Yin of the Chu State for three years, which greatly promoted the power of the Chu State. Now the situation in the Xia Dynasty is that the Qin State is planning to attack Zhao. In less than two years, the Zhao State will be fine, but the Zhao State cannot support it.
Live."
"After that, the Qin State attacked the Wei State for another year, and the Yan State, and the Qi State in front. As for the young master, you still have at least five or six years left, and two years to clear it all.
Domestic affairs, three years to improve Chu's military affairs."
"Isn't the young master moved by your heart?"
Young Master Fu Chu may not be a qualified king now, but those things can be changed. As long as he is willing to change, then everything will still have a chance. Since he has chosen this path, if he is not the strongest, what's the use.
"But... without the help of the Lao family and Xiang Yan, it would be impossible for him to have the momentum he has today!"
The entire side hall fell into a brief silence.
The young master looked at Wei Zhuang with an expression of disbelief. He never expected that at this time, Wei Zhuang would want to help his old family and Xiang Yan with his own strategy. This idea was too crazy.
If he really does it, then his reputation in the Chu Kingdom will be completely ruined in the future. Those old people will be angry with him, and Xiang Yan will also be dissatisfied with him.
Without their support, it would be difficult for him to secure his position as King of Chu.
"Without Confucian Confucianism, the Tian family replaced the Qi Dynasty, and the six ministers were divided into the Jin Dynasty. Morality was greatly reduced, and there was a lack of order at the top and bottom. In the Qin State, people were filial to the public, and sacrificed gifts and concessions in favor of war. They abandoned benevolence and righteousness in favor of deceit and deceit, and only tried to gain strength."
"It is said that usurpers and thieves are classified as princes and kings, and a country of deceit and treachery rises and becomes strong. Over the past hundred years, seven countries with ten thousand chariots and five kingdoms with thousands of chariots have fought for power with enemies, and this has led to the great era of the Warring States Period.
"
"Young master, what do you think is the Warring States Period?"
Hearing Fu Chu's response, Wei Zhuang smiled unconsciously and sarcastically, and shook his head slightly. Until now... Fu Chu doesn't have the consciousness of a king, and he still doesn't have the determination that a king should have.
Benevolence and righteousness!
That is what Confucianism advocates, and it may be used when the world is unified.
For Lao Shizu and Xiang Yan Renyi, it means that his power is suppressed. If so, is he still a king?
After the words fell, another question came up.
"The Warring States Period, a time of great struggle, the power of hegemony!"
There was another sudden thought in Nian Chu's heart. In the past, Mr. Wei Zhuang only made suggestions for himself and did not say anything like this.
Now it seems that a lot has changed, and he said some words that are difficult for him to accept. Does it mean that the other party doesn't want to help him anymore, or is this what the other party wants to do in his heart.
When it comes to the Warring States Period, I have an impression of this issue. Huang Xie, Lord of Chunshen, once told me.
During the Warring States Period, the winner became the overlord and dominated the fate of the small country. The loser, like Wu and Yue, was swallowed up by the Chu State. Although it was cruel, this was the Warring States Period, the era of great war states.
"The Confucian theory of kingship and hegemony is full of fallacies."
"Master, what do you think of the Warring States Period in the eyes of King Qin Yingzheng?"
Wei Zhuang sneered. Although Guigu disciples were involved in Confucian knowledge, they could never deny it. Although it was wonderful, it was simply not feasible during the Warring States Period. He glanced at Fu Chu and asked again.
According to the agreement between him and Chu Nan Gong, after Fu Chu ascends the throne as King of Chu, he will get an elixir of gathering, and then unlock his memory and power. He has been by Fu Chu's side for several years.
It seems that Chu is about to succeed, but if Chu does not change, Qin will destroy the other countries one by one in the future. Even if Chu can resist for a while, it will not be able to truly compete with Qin.
Because Qin's path dictates that it must completely devour Chu in order to survive.
It can be regarded as a little advice given to Fu Chu before leaving. If you listen to it, maybe the opportunity can change. If you don't listen, Haotian will be in Qin.
"King Qin Yingzheng!"
"He is extremely domineering. I am afraid that during the Warring States Period, he was also the Qin State. However, this person has a cold nature. He had no letters to wait for Lu Buwei. How could Ying Zheng ascend the throne?"
"Without the Empress Dowager Huayang and other relatives, how could Ying Zheng be able to defeat Chang'an Jun Chengjiao? Now he is a treacherous and shameless person."
Regarding King Yingzheng of Qin, Fu Chu was envious, angry, and with a hint of panic.
What I envy is that the other party has ascended to the throne of Qin with the help of various forces.
Angry, the other party took his position and began to dismiss Wen Xinhou. When he came in and heard about it, he was ready to attack Chu's foreign relatives.
What's scary is that Qin's national power is too strong. What if Qin and Chu confront each other one day in the future?
"For hundreds of years, different countries and religions have made their own decisions. There is no emperor above and no magistrate below. They compete for power and power, and the winner is the right. The war is endless, and fraud and hypocrisy are common. At this time, even if you have morals, you can't do anything.
To plan, to be strong, to be strong in the face of obstacles, to communicate with others, to make promises and oaths, to protect the country."
"What about the in-laws of the Qin and Chu for more than twenty generations? Shu County, Ba County, Hanzhong County, Qianzhong County, Nanyang County...all fell into the hands of the Qin State, so Meng Ke and Sun Qing, who were Confucian scholars, abandoned them to the world, and
Those who lobby for political power are more noble than the common people, and this is an opportunity for Guigu disciples to show themselves in the world."
"When one is angry, the princes will be afraid, and if they live in peace, the world will cease. Therefore, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Chen Zhen, Dai, and Li are subordinate, and they are born according to the theory of horizontal, short, and long. They tilt left and right. Su Qin is vertical, Zhang Yi is horizontal, and horizontal
He is the Emperor of Qin, and he is the King of Chu."
The Warring States Period was an opportunity for Guigu's disciples to manifest themselves in the Zhuxia Period.
One by one, Guigu disciples wrote their own legends. As a successor of Guigu, Wei Zhuang thought that he was not inferior to any Guigu disciple. However, the sudden advancement of the Warring States Period was coming to an end.
All countries have their strengths and weaknesses, and they are unparalleled in horizontal and vertical positions. One country is strong while all other countries are weak. This is the trend of unity.
If Xiu Chu tries to reason with those old people and talk about benevolence and righteousness at this time, then those old people will not talk to him about benevolence and righteousness in the future. The inheritance of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom does not belong to those old people.
Just like South Korea, which was destroyed last year, the Korean royal family no longer exists, but many aristocratic families are now living well.
"Mr. Wei Zhuang said that we should suppress the old ministers internally and cooperate with external forces to resist the Qin Dynasty?"
It's so smart to be able to get to this point.
Although his brows were furrowed, Mr. Wei Zhuang's words cheered him up for no reason. This was the disciple of Guigu who really made the princes fearful at every turn, but what he said... was entangled.
"Today, among the countries in Shandong, South Korea has been destroyed. Zhao, Wei, Yan, Qi, and Chu still exist. Qin is the strongest. More than ten years ago, Lord Xinling united to attack Qin.
More than 100,000 troops were lost!"
"Although Lord Chun Shen was defeated in his attack on Qin, the Qin State was also afraid. Therefore, Qin now has ministers from the Ministry of Human Resources traveling among the Shandong states. This is the strategy of separation and consolidation!"
"Su Qin wanted to be aggressive at the beginning, but Qin couldn't use it, so he joined forces with the east, and Qin's troops could not leave the pass for twenty-nine years. After Su Qin's death, Zhang Yi continued to be aggressive, and the princes listened and went west to serve Qin. No one dared not to obey."
"It may be difficult to unite, but wouldn't it be better to let the other countries support it longer and give the prince more time?"
Although the countries are weak, Qin will not dare to look down upon them if they unite, otherwise senior brother Ge Nie would not be able to take control of Qi.
If he listened to his own words and used Li Yuan's help to greatly weaken the power of the old family and weaken Xiang Yan's power, Qin would not dare to attack Chu at this time even if he had the intention.
At most, we will lose some land.
We can really rectify our internal affairs and armament, and everything that has been lost can be recovered.
"This... Mr. Gui Gu finally showed his true colors today."
"Please teach me, sir!"
The expression on Nian Chu's face was excited, as expected, as Mr. Wei Zhuang said, the Chu State was powerful, the Qin State was not afraid of it, and the old people were not restrained. Perhaps, on that day, the Chu State would also be as powerful as the world.
Afterwards, he also stood up from his seat, walked to Wei Zhuang's side, and bowed deeply.
