At a certain period of time, Jin Junwu and Zhao Yang seemed to be very close.
At that time, Zhao Yang made it clear that he would assist Jin Junwu in growing his clan and strengthening the authority of the king of a country.
The various policies introduced by Zhao Yang, including some of the things he did, were indeed beneficial to Jin Junwu. With the support from Jin Junwu, Zhao Yang suppressed Zhi Shuang, who served as the "Yuan Rong" to a certain extent.
.
Zhao Yang, who betrayed the Qing family, was actually a young man. Considering the poor international situation in Jin at that time, Han Buxin and Wei Chi, among the other "Qings", thought it might be good to strengthen the monarch's authority and thought that they would follow Zhao Yang.
It’s okay to give it a try.
The way Zhao Yang and Jin Junwu got along changed after the Fan family and the Zhonghang family were identified as rebels. It's hard to say whether Zhao Yang broke the disguise or whether Jin Junwu asked for too much and Zhao Yang changed his tune.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Yang is the master of the Zhao family first, and then the minister of Jin Junwu. When the authority of the central government cannot reach its peak, the head of the family must first ensure the interests of the family. Only when the interests of the family are guaranteed can the country be taken into consideration.
interests, and the interests of the monarch are not equal to the interests of the country.
It's a bit like a tongue twister, but the so-called "family, country, world" is exactly that.
When the interests of the family conflict with the interests of the monarch, let alone the concept of the country, even if the concept of the country has been popularized, how many families are willing to abandon their own interests for the sake of the country, or even destroy the family for the country?
Regardless of whether it is before or in the future, we can often see ordinary people throwing their lives and blood for the sake of the country. Occasionally, nobles, aristocratic families, and nobles will definitely be featured in big books if they choose to destroy their families for the sake of the country when the country is in crisis.
In line with the principle that the more something is missing, the more it will be made up, I can only say: I understand everything!
In general, the current situation in Jin has changed again. Jin Junwu must still insist on taking back his own authority and power. Zhao Yang may not be the Zhao Yang before.
Jin Junwu glanced at Wei Chi and Han Buxin respectively, and his eyes stopped on Wei Chi, thinking: "Han is Zhao's follower, Han Buxin will not and dare not go against Zhao Yang. Wei, Wei Chi will
Why are you going against Zhao Yang?"
Previously, the Zhi family and the Zhao family were competing over whether the Hu family should return to the country and have the position of minister, and the Wei family acted as a neutral faction.
That was the division of roles agreed upon between Zhizong and Wei Chi.
Now that Zhishuo is dead, it depends on whether Wei Chi has the courage to stand up and confront Zhao Yang.
"I think that the central army and the upper army are not enough to maintain hegemony. Four 'armies' are better, and three 'armies' are also acceptable." Jin Junwu was the first to break the silence.
Han Buxin smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, two 'armies' are difficult, so why not four 'armies'."
So, Han Buxin is now Zhao Yang's vanguard, specifically doing things to dismantle the monarch's platform?
However, what Han Buxin said is to some extent the actual national conditions of Jin.
In the Jin Dynasty, during the period of the Jin Dynasty, the public family had been slightly strengthened, and many small and medium-sized nobles also had the opportunity to rise up. The public family and many small and medium-sized nobles united to balance the families with high positions.
However, in the subsequent two generations of Jin Zhaogong and Jin Qinggong, the Gong clan may have been useless because of the fact that there were many talented people in the family. Anyway, the Gong clan weakened again, especially the Gong clan of Jin Qing Gong's generation had the worst life.
miserable.
At the same time, in the two eras of Duke Zhao of Jin and Duke Qing of Jin, the phenomenon of big fish eating small fish was very serious in Jin State. A considerable number of small and medium-sized nobles were either merged or perished, and more small and medium-sized nobles became members of Qing families.
vassal.
To put it in the clearest way, although the king of Jin is the king of a country, the problem is that he is in opposition to the family of ministers. The public family is the king's confidence in whether he can speak and dares to speak, and the small and medium nobles are the king's use.
Use it as a tool to check and balance the Qing family as much as possible.
The weakening of the royal family will make the monarch less confident in speaking out.
The small and medium-sized nobles are very weak as a single family, but if they are numerous and can be integrated, the monarch can still use them as a fulcrum to achieve certain goals.
Therefore, once the princes and small and medium-sized nobles are completely incapacitated, the king of Jin will encounter the same situation as the Emperor of Zhou. It doesn't matter if he sits high and high, his words will no longer work!
In the current Jin State, there are not many independent small and medium-sized nobles, and their strength is indescribable compared to the Qing family.
To put it more clearly, in the era of Duke Dao of Jin, although the Qingsi family was very powerful, there were still some middle-class families whose strength gap with the Qingsi family was not too exaggerated. Two or three middle-class nobles could still compete with the weaker ones in terms of strength when they joined forces.
The family of the Qing Dynasty has a show of arms.
Then, by Jin Junwu's generation, about half of the small and medium-sized nobles in the Jin Kingdom united, and it was estimated that they would not be able to equal the strength of the Han family, the weakest of the three existing high-ranking families.
Just ask? Faced with this situation, Jin Junwu couldn't get support from a certain high-ranking family, what could he do?
"The second 'army' cannot maintain its hegemony." Wei Chi finally spoke.
Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly moved to Wei Chi.
When Jin Junwu saw Wei Chi's statement, it was hard not to feel excited.
As a result, Wei Chi added: "Being a 'Qing' is not only an honor, but whether you can shoulder its responsibilities is also one of them."
This is the truth. Don't think that any family in the Jin Dynasty can get the position of minister. Becoming one of the "qing" will become the chief general or military assistant of a certain legion. In the event of a national war, you must be able to draw out your share of troops.
Fill it into the legions participating in the national war.
In different periods, how many troops should be sent to "Qing", how many armored soldiers should be dispatched, and what proportion of "disciples" should be among them. The Jin State was still quite strict on the relevant requirements.
Taking the situation not long ago as an example, the Zhi family, Zhao family, Wei family and Han family dispatched at least two "divisions" of troops, and sometimes a certain family even deployed more than one "army" of troops.
So, is there any medium-sized family in the Jin Kingdom that can produce two "divisions" at once? If they bite the bullet, the Jie family and the Zhang family among the medium-sized families may be able to do it, but they will definitely use all the family's troops.
If it is empty, two "divisions" of troops can be dispatched at one time, but they may not be available next time.
The Jie family and the Zhang family are also two families with a very long history in the Jin Kingdom. Among them, the Zhang family is not completely independent. The Zhang family has become a vassal of the Zhao family since Zhang's generation, maintaining the illusion of independence.
Knowing that the Zhang family was just pretending to be independent, the Wei family would definitely not let the Zhang family gain the throne, and Jin Junwu would not be so stupid as to let the Zhang family gain the throne to break the fragile balance.
As for the Xie family? They are stupid enough to compete for the position of minister. They will definitely be like Jiujiu Selection, keeping a low profile and not touching the position of minister.
After a long silence, Zhao Yang said: "The three 'armies' are okay. But why is the Yu family powerless?"
In reality, it is really difficult for the Jin State to cope with the current international situation with only two legions. Not to mention continuing to fight for hegemony, self-protection will be very difficult.
Zhao Yang has a lot of selfish motives, but that doesn't mean he is willing to watch Jin lose his hegemony. It is acceptable to accept a new family with the title of Qing on the premise of ensuring his own interests.
"I believe that maintaining domestic stability is the most important thing now!" Zhao Yang paused, seeing that everyone was a little unresponsive, and continued: "One of the things is to eliminate the remaining evil, and the other is to verify the land of the people."
When they mentioned the purge of the remaining evildoers, Wei Chi and Han Buxin's expressions changed.
At present, the largest remnant has been peacefully annexed by the Zhishi family. No, in Zhishuo's terms, it is an escrow. It has become a situation where the Zhongxing family is hidden in the Zhishi family.
In addition, Shi Jishe suffered from brain problems due to too much stimulation, and the Fan family was putting up a fight to the death in the southern border of Jin State, which made the Zhao family and the Wei family very uncomfortable.
If Zhao Yang wants to wipe out all the remnants, will there be a conflict with the Zhi family?
Then, if the Fan family can really be pushed away in one wave, will the Zhao family and the Wei family be so uncomfortable?
Speaking of verifying the number of acres held by each family, given the current situation that more acres can be divided among more people, the greater the number of acres, it means how many "scholars" and "disciples" there can be, and that does not include that.
Capital maintains more "envy" existence.
We have really clarified the fields of all the families, and it is basically clear at a glance which family has the strength. Are you willing to expose your true strength?
Jin Junwu was a little confused when he looked at Zhao Yang. He couldn't understand how Zhao Yang could be so awesome. He was about to become a "Yuan Rong" and wanted to fight against all the families.
"What the heck do you guys know? I am here to seize the initiative and confirm the authority of the successor to 'Yuanrong'. There are so many voices in the country to restore hegemony. The Zhao family and the Han family will do it first, and then guide public opinion. The Zhi family and the Wei family will definitely do it.
being set up
Come on, the rest of the small and medium-sized nobles still dare to resist? This way, we can also get the support of the monarch in terms of name and weapon, and it is impossible to get things done!" Zhao Yang felt very happy, he liked it when others didn't understand his thoughts and showed his face.
Confused look.
Jin Junwu first saw Zhao Yang making concessions on the throne, and then heard that Zhao Yang was going to implement the steps of governance that had been discussed long ago. While his mind was a little confused, he felt unlimited expectations for Zhao Yang in his heart.
.
"After Zhiqing, Zhao Qing is the 'zhengqing'. I am a widower." Jin Junwu was about to blurt out some words. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wei Chi's urgent gesture. He understood the shape of his mouth and changed his words: "Holding the three 'armies', Qing."
The vacant position can be competed by the Hu family, the Jie family, the Zhang family, and the Jia family."
There were a lot of people frowning this time, but no one said anything.
"Zhao Meng is the general of the middle army, Han Bo is the assistant of the middle army, Wei Bo is the upper general, and Zhibo is the upper army assistant. The lower army general and the lower army assistant then conquer the princes and compete for them?" Jin Jun Wu asked
road.
Zhao Yang was the first to express his stance and said: "Why limit the Yu family? Anyone who is willing can compete!"
Han Buxin narrowed his eyes.
Wei Chi felt Zhao Yang's deep malice and saw Jin Junwu's excited expression. He thought to himself: "This time the clan will definitely be integrated again. With the urinary temperament of each feudal lord, the internal affairs will be broken."
"The rest of the families? Who of them dares to jump out? If they don't get the position of minister, they will become cannon fodder for Zhao Yang to attack the Fan family and the princes. As for the Hu family, don't even think about leaving the Jin Kingdom."
"This" Jin Junwu was really excited. He felt that Zhao Yang really still had the heart to be loyal to the country and should continue to act, so he said: "In this way, when Zhibo returns to the capital, he will cough up
Ahem, the ministers will decide on this strategy again."
