In history, the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family divided the Jin Kingdom, and then the Tian family replaced the Jiang family.
In both incidents, the contemporary Emperor Zhou played a very disgraceful role, which further pushed the Zhou royal family off the altar.
The process of dividing the three families into the Jin Dynasty was that the Emperor of Zhou first granted the title of marquis to the heads of the Zhao, Wei and Han families, which was equivalent to legally recognizing that they had the right to entrust their own kingdoms.
The Tian family dared to really replace the Jiang family because they saw that the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family had successfully divided the Jin Kingdom. The princes felt cold towards the Emperor of Zhou, and due to the situation faced by the princes at that time, they could not proceed with the Tian family's replacement of the Jiang family.
Intervention by force.
In the past, Zhiyao didn't know why the Zhao family and the Wei family brought the weak Han family to play with them. She guessed that it was because of the long-term friendly relationship between the Zhao family and the Han family.
Now? Zhiyao can already understand why the Han family can participate.
In the original history, the Zhi family was betrayed by the Wei and Han families. The reason was of course that "Zhi Yao" was too greedy and forced the Wei and Han families too much. However, the Zhi family was unable to eliminate the Zhao family in a short time, so that Zhao
The Wei family and the Han family rebelled against each other, and the three families united to destroy the Zhi family.
Based on the situation at that time, even if the Zhao, Wei and Han families divided up the Zhi family's territory, the Han family would still be the weakest of the three families, and the Zhao family or the Wei family would be fully capable of annihilating the Han family alone.
So, why did the Zhao family and the Wei family take the Han family to play together? The fundamental reason is that the Han family has a very good relationship with the Zhou royal family!
The fact that the Zhao family and the Wei family were able to be granted the title of marquis was actually due to the clever manipulation of the Han family, which allowed the three families to obtain the title of marquis together, and then they were able to turn their fiefdoms into part of the feudal state, thereby dividing the Jin state.
Therefore, the three families used force to carve up the Jin State, but no war broke out with the Jin princes in the process. Moreover, the Jin State did not immediately perish after it split. Guozuo lasted for nearly fifty or sixty years before it was finally eliminated.
Although the Zhao family, Wei family and Han family at that time were not weaker than other countries individually, if they had not become marquises, the princes could still challenge them together.
Because of the relationship between Emperor Zhou and the feudal lords of the Zhao, Wei and Han families, the other countries had no reason to unite to intervene and could only watch helplessly.
Zhiyao already knows the "answer" in advance, should she deliberately win over the Han family?
This actually depends on whether Zhiyao wants to succeed the Jin Dynasty or become independent.
Yes, modern people understand it as division, but in fact it is independence.
That is to say, the Zhao, Wei and Han families in history did not directly carve up the Jin Kingdom. According to "contemporary people", they took their own fiefdoms to establish the country. It was nothing more than the birth of a new feudal state under the banner of the Zhou royal family.
Not a divisive act.
One day, Zhishen returned home and immediately called Zhiyao over, saying: "The king will decentralize power, and Yao will be the lieutenant in the army."
Speaking of which, many positions in Jin State have been vacant, and no candidates have been appointed for a long time.
Zhiyao immediately asked: "Who is the subordinate commander?"
Zhishen was a little surprised and asked, "Why isn't Yao happy?"
That's a Lieutenant Commander! One of the most powerful positions besides "Qing".
Of course, the main reason is that each "Qing" has a part-time job, and usually has multiple positions. Important positions such as judge, Situ, and Sikou are all held by "Qing" concurrently, and there will be no other people. This is why the Chinese Army
Wei became the first person below "Qing".
Zhiyao just looked at Zhishen, waiting to know the answer.
"Your Majesty decided that it should be Zhongwu, but Yuanrong objected," Zhishen said.
What the hell? There is no Zhong family in Jin State. Where did they come from?
Zhiyao thought that Jin Junwu had summoned a new family from abroad. As he continued to listen to Zhishen's explanation, he realized that several clans were integrating. The Jia family, the Dong family, the Ji family, and other six families merged into the Zhong family.
.
"The six feudal lords merged? When did the princes become so united???" Zhiyao thought of some of the monarch's previous actions.
Some time ago, Jin Junwu frequently summoned the feudal lords of the clan, and every time a few people disappeared.
Because it is the office's own business, as long as the feudal lords don't cause trouble, outsiders have no reason to interfere.
Whether those who disappeared died in the palace city, or whether they left Jin and went to other countries, most people were too lazy to pay attention.
"Sir, Yao cannot be appointed as a lieutenant in the army." Zhiyao refused first, then paused and continued: "Should Yuan Rong recommend Zhao Huo as a lieutenant?"
Zhishen did not ask Zhiyao why he did not want to be a lieutenant, and he was not surprised that Zhiyao guessed the candidate recommended by Zhao Yang.
To put it simply, in Zhishen's opinion, Zhiyao is so smart that he can guess things in advance, so it is not worth making a fuss about.
Zhiyao knew that she had guessed correctly and said with a smile: "The middle commander will definitely agree, even the superior generals and the inferior generals will not object."
The central commander is Han Buxin.
The commander-in-chief is Wei Chi.
The next general is Hu Jie.
Zhishen is currently a sergeant in the army. He rarely speaks when attending meetings. When he encounters a problem, he will go home to discuss it with Zhiyao first. He must be a silent member.
The Hu family was summoned by Jin Junwu to return to the Jin Kingdom. According to common sense, they should support Jin Junwu? But Hu Jie is no longer ignorant when he first returned to the Jin Kingdom. One or two years are enough for them to understand Jin Junwu.
The internal structure of the country.
The Jin State now has the overall advantage of the Qing family, which is reflected in the decline of the public family. Many powerful middle-level nobles have either been weakened or annexed.
The reason why the Qing family has become stronger again and again is because it was able to plunder external affairs in the past, and then it continued to devour other families in the country. Its strength really does not come out of thin air.
"The last fig leaf belonging to Jinjun has been torn off." Zhiyao thought to herself.
From some aspects, the current Zhao family is also at a moment of weakness. Precisely because of that situation, other high-ranking families will not deliberately provoke Zhao Yang to avoid being dealt a fatal blow.
For some other purposes, the Zhi family and the Wei family are also willing to see the authority of the monarch trampled on. As long as the Zhao family does not want to take the opportunity to annex some families, so what if Zhao gets the position of minister, maybe it is a way to let Zhao
This is a good opportunity for him to cut his own internal strength.
"No..." Zhiyao thought of something.
"Sir, where is the new master of the Liang family?" Zhiyao asked.
Zhishen was not stupid and said, "Yao thinks he will get the Liang family after winning the general?"
This is the only explanation.
Zhao Yang fought for Zhao Huo's position and gained some voice for the Zhao family. His main goal was to annex the Liang family again, instead of invading other families. The government and other families could still control the Zhao family's arrangements for their own small clan.
?
Once Zhao Huo becomes the subordinate of the army, he will also serve as the commander of the army according to the existing rules.
The position of Sikou has not shown any advantages in the past, and it is even a kind of holding back position. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of the lowest rank to hold it concurrently.
Why does Sikou lag behind? Isn’t it necessary to select people from the family to serve as an organization under Sikou for a long time, responsible for catching thieves, patrolling everywhere, etc. Recruitment means that someone is paying a reward, and there is no trophy for the work.
, it seems that the nobles are at a loss.
As for the convenience of Sikou, armed men can not only settle in the capital city of "Xintian" in a legitimate manner, but can also run around in the fiefdoms of various families.
Zhiyao thought to herself: "If I could become a Sikou, and just be able to send people to each family's fiefdoms in a legitimate manner, wouldn't it be easy to complete the drawing?"
He also knew that he would not be able to serve as Sikou for the time being.
Next, "Xintian" was simply extremely lively.
"The news about Zhao being appointed as 'Qing' has caused a huge uproar." Wei Ju sighed after finishing speaking, but everyone could tell that he was watching a joke.
Zhao Bolu seemed speechless.
Among the Qing family members, the Zhi family and the Wei family remained silent, as if they were watching a show; the Hu family later raised objections, but Hu Jie's words were too soft, so he probably just dealt with it; the Han family
They are the only family that expresses support for the Zhao family.
The rest of the families? The feudal lords of the public clan danced the most fiercely, but because of their strength, no matter how noisy they were, it was just noisy; the middle-class nobles who were qualified to participate in the meeting kept silent, but in private they said anything.
In Zhiyao's view, public opinion will not have any influence on Zhao Yang's will at all, but in the long run, the Zhao family will be greatly affected.
After all, if a family's reputation is not good, it will suffer hidden losses in many aspects.
Their gathering today was to bid farewell to Zhao Bolu.
Zhao Bolu, who has been in "Xintian" for nearly a month, is about to go to the Kingdom of Dai. According to his own words, a sister is going to marry far away from the Kingdom of Dai. This time, there is a ceremonial process.
Zhao Bolu's sister is Zhao Guanshe's sister, and she is a sibling.
Others didn't seem to care much about Zhao's intention to marry a daughter to the king of Dai. Only Zhiyao felt that she had forgotten something and couldn't remember it.
By the way, where is the Dai Kingdom? They were probably in the north of modern Hebei, and part of their activity range was Inner Mongolia.
The king of Dai State has the surname Zi. In the early days, it was a vassal state of the Zhou royal family. Now it is its own system, and the ethnic composition under its governance is very mixed.
Jin State and Dai State were not adjacent to each other, but were separated by Zhongshan State.
According to the current era, people who are ten miles apart may not have the chance to meet each other in a lifetime. The distance between Jin State and Dai State is not only the Zhongshan State in the middle, but also hundreds of miles between them. In addition to mountains everywhere along the way,
Outside, the forest is also densely covered.
So, Zhiyao was wondering how the Zhao family could communicate with Dai Guo and come up with the marriage arrangement.
According to the current customs in the Xia Dynasty, Zhao's marriage of a concubine to the king of the country can actually be regarded as a kind of humiliation, making people think that Zhao is engaged in some conspiracy.
More than a month later, Jin Junwu went into battle shirtless to fight with Zhao Yang for the last position.
The Zhi family and the Wei family continued to be the audience. During this period, they had to receive various hints from the monarch, but the two families remained indifferent.
After a debate about disparity in power, Zhao Huo finally became the subordinate of the army, which once again opened an era in which the Zhao family had more than one "qing".
As for whether it will allow the Zhao family to regain its strength, or whether it will be the beginning of another annihilation of the Zhao family, we will have to wait and see later.
