Most of the fiefdoms of the Han family and the Hu family were either close to the west, or even the fiefdoms were adjacent to other countries. How could they not pay attention to the west, or even feel that other directions had little to do with them?
In the same way, the same situation will apply to the Zhi family, Wei family, Zhao family and other families. Where the core interests are, which direction they pay more attention to, other directions may not care so much.
Standing together because of interests fully reflects what "only eternal interests" mean.
When Zhao Yang was still alive, although the Han family did not target the Hu family, they did not make many small moves. This was because the Zhao family and the Hu family were naturally in conflict with each other. The Han family acted as an ally of the Zhao family and cooperated, not the Han family.
What a huge conflict of interest there is between the Hu family and the Hu family.
Now, there is still an irreconcilable conflict in the core interests of the Zhao family and the Hu family, but the strengths of the Han family and the Zhao family have been reversed, and the starting point of their interests must be to focus on the Han family.
Even if the Han family will not abandon the Zhao family, they will definitely take their own interests as the starting point when they meet actual needs. They will no longer act like Zhao's followers, sacrificing their own interests to meet the needs of the Zhao family, and become the Zhao family.
It’s time to endure the threats from the Fox family and cooperate with the Han family.
It's natural for the Hu family to be a little timid towards the Qin State. They once broke away from the Jin State and their activities were close to the Qin State. They probably suffered a lot of beatings from the Qin State.
And because the Hu family has seen a lot about how the Qin army beat Rong Di too hard, and Bai Zhai admires Qin very much, other high-ranking families in Jin may not take Qin seriously. The Hu family who has heard so much about Qin's reputation is definitely not the same as others.
The mentality of the Qing family.
"The Qin State will definitely try to move eastward, and it is very likely that the first wave will be extremely powerful. The more this happens, the longer their preparation time will be, and they will not be able to launch an attack casually." Zhiyao thought to herself.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Han being so nervous, but being concerned is chaotic.
Next, the Han family is undergoing a great migration, and they are in a weak state. It will take at least two or three years to enter a stable period. Can they not be afraid of being suddenly attacked?
Needless to say, the Fox family has only returned to China a few years ago. They should choose suitable locations in the northwest to build a few cities quickly, so as not to continue to be a foreign habit. If there is not enough food, the population limit will be like that, and the food production will be insufficient.
We cannot afford to fight a war of attrition.
There is one thing that no family within the Jin Kingdom has said. If the Fox family does not change their foreign habits and do not have the spirit and spirit of Jin people, they will never become strong. Among them, the spirit and spirit are the most important!
As Han Buxin and Hu Shi expressed their stance one after another, everyone already understood what was going on.
Without Wei, this meeting was destined to be incomplete and could only confirm some general national policies.
"With Wei Ju joining, will the Wei family focus on the west or the south?" Zhiyao actually couldn't guess.
The Wei family had a large piece of fiefdom in the southern part of Jin that they had seized from the Fan family. They had been working hard to digest it, but many things could not be accomplished without hard work, especially since the Fan family had a long enough history.
It is not that easy to digest a family with a long history. The longer the history, the more deeply rooted certain things are. It cannot be easily digested by a conqueror.
The current situation of the Wei family is that the old fiefdoms are making up for the consumption of the newly acquired fiefdoms, which makes it impossible for them to ignore other areas even if they pay more attention to the south.
Well, the Wei family also had a lot of fiefdoms in the western part of the Jin Kingdom, and relied on the output of the western fiefdoms to support consumption in the south. They were probably in a state of confusion as to which side they would pay more attention to.
Zhiyao noticed a phenomenon. No matter how worried the Han family was about the Qin State, they still did not seek help from the Zhao family in intelligence channels.
This is very spring and autumn, really.
Once upon a time, the Qin State planned to launch a surprise attack on the Jin State, which was known to the Zhao family early on. The Zhao family did not inform the monarch at first, and did not warn the Wei family again. As a result, the Wei family was attacked by the Qin army and suffered heavy losses, but the Wei family knew clearly.
Ms. Zhao had received the news a long time ago and did not blame her.
Would the Wei family hate the Zhao family for concealing information? Probably yes, but due to the rules of the times, it cannot be pursued.
Not to mention the Zhao family, no family will share their channels, and they will just play the "what's mine is mine, what does it have to do with you" routine.
There were not many things confirmed at the meeting. One was not to initiate a national war. The other was to pay close attention to the movements of Wu, Qin, Qi, Zheng and Song.
Did you miss the Chu State? You really missed the Chu State!
"The Chu State has been losing. After losing, the families decided that they were unable to go north, and they never thought of uniting with the Chu State to attack the Wu State." Zhiyao felt that this was wrong, but she didn't say much at the meeting.
After the meeting, Zhiyao went to Zhishen and said, "Why did each family leave Chu alone?"
Zhishen showed a shocked expression and asked, "What are you referring to?"
What!?
Zhiyao was stunned for a moment by the rhetorical question. After a short while, he said: "Although Chu has been defeated again and again, its foundation is not comparable to that of Wu."
Zhishen said matter-of-factly: "That's it, so we can put it aside."
Saying this, Zhiyao understood.
Jin State still regards Chu State as a strong enemy and has no conditions to cause trouble for Chu State at this stage. It believes that it is a good thing for Wu State to continue to weaken Chu State and has no intention of having too deep cooperation with Chu State.
Therefore, the Jin State does not need to cause trouble for the Chu State, and forming alliances will not be considered. It is even willing to cooperate with the Wu State to attack the Chu State when necessary.
How should I put this?
The people in power of the Jin State were finally sober in the world, they paid attention to the rapidly rising Wu State, and they also understood that the Chu State would always be a major threat.
"Wu Jun even invaded the capital of Chu State once, and Jin State still believed that Chu State was the biggest threat. Should it be said that the Chu State left a deep enough impression on Jin State during the struggle for hegemony, or is it just an inertial thinking?" Zhi
Yao is a little confused.
Valley
Of course, Zhiyao is the type who knows the answers to history early, and understands that Chu is a bigger threat. As long as the rest of the people are not inertial thinking and pay attention to the strength of Chu in all aspects, it can only be said that they have really good vision.
Originally, Zhiyao was thinking of uniting with the Chu State to target the Wu State, which seemed very inconsistent with the thinking of the mainstream class in the Jin State?
In addition, Zhiyao's alliance with Chu State actually had no good intentions, but now it seems that the operation needs to be more cautious.
After Wei Ju returned to "Xintian", Zhishen held a meeting again.
The matters mentioned are a continuation of the previous meeting.
In the new meeting, the tendencies of each family became more obvious. The Han family, the Hu family... and perhaps the Zhao family, were the newly formed Westward Movement faction.
It can be seen that the Wei family is hesitating, wanting to focus on the west, but also wanting to take care of the south, which seems to be a bit stressful.
Of course, the Zhi family attaches great importance to the east, and needs to take care of the north as well. The south also needs to be paid attention to.
The Zhong family has an attitude of doing whatever they want. They are trapped in the middle by various families and cannot expand outward without having too strong personal interests entangled.
Among the various statements, the Zhi family undoubtedly has the most say. Other families have to be mentally prepared whether they like it or not. They will harm their own interests to meet the Zhi family's needs when the Zhi family wants it.
Why is it said that the "Yuanrong" of the Jin Dynasty have a strong voice? In the past, it was the voice brought by the official position, but now it is the voice brought by the family strength. The inner core has changed, but the advantages brought by the voice have not changed.
"My family is sitting back and watching the disputes between Wu and Qi. We cannot allow Qi and Lu to continue to dispute." Zhiyao was giving advice to Zhishen.
Of course Jishen accepted it all.
Zhiyao added: "The Tian family is arbitrary and favored by the Qi family. The Bao family is unable to compete with it. The Qi family will definitely die in Bao family's regicide. The death of the Qi family should be due to the Tian family's plan."
The words were a bit convoluted, causing Zhishen's mind to become a little confused.
The Tian family and the Bao family don't deal with each other, and then Qi Jun trusts Tian Qi, and the Tian family wants to set up a trap to make Qi Junyang, who has great trust in him, live or die?
According to common sense, shouldn't Tian ensure the safety of Qi Jun Yangsheng, who trusts and loves him?
After all, Qi Junyang's life is good for Tian, right?
Zhishen had a hard time judging Zhiyao that Tian Qi would kill Qi Junyang, because Qi Junyang's life would be beneficial to the Tian family.
"Sir, Tian's plan is very big." If Zhiyao had not known the historical answer in advance, there is a high probability that he would not have been able to figure out why Tian wanted to regicide.
Zhishen asked blankly: "What are you planning?"
When Zhishen thought about it, the limit he could think of was that the Tian family wanted to be like the Qing clan of Jin.
Zhiyao tried her best not to smile so sinisterly, and then said: "Dai Qi."
However, Zhishen was first frightened by Zhiyao's sinister smile, and was completely dumbfounded when he heard the word "Dai Qi".
"Fight Qi... no, attack the Tian family!" Zhishen's reaction was surprisingly loud.
This is why Zhiyao has always kept her thoughts about Dai Jin deeply hidden. Her father reacted so much when he heard that Tian was going to replace Lu as the leader of Qi.
Not only Zhishen had this reaction, but other families in the Jin Kingdom and even other countries had to pretend to be indignant even if they were just pretending, and then shouted to attack the Tian family.
At present, no one is emphasizing the principle of monarch and minister. It is not that the principle of monarch and minister does not exist. On the contrary, because it is a matter of course, there is no need to emphasize it again and again.
"Of course we should attack the Tian family, but..." Zhiyao shook her head as she spoke, and continued: "How will Qi State believe me?"
Zhishen also realized the problem.
As a father, of course he trusts his son's judgment, not to mention Zhiyao's judgment is never wrong.
The key issue is that no matter how depressed Qi is, it will not accept other countries interfering in its internal affairs at will. Qi Junyang naturally trusts and relies on the Tian family, and the intervention of external forces is bound to be regarded as an invasion.
Warning Qi Jun Yangsheng or the Qi Dukes in advance? It will most likely have the opposite effect.
Zhiyao said: "Sir, let me handle the matter here."
Zhishen's face still looks a little ugly. It seems like he really wants to eradicate the Tian family?
Well..., to be honest, Jin is seeking to restore hegemony. One of the responsibilities of hegemony is to ensure that the succession of kings in various countries is continued by blood.
And Zhiyao understood one thing even more. It was more difficult than imagined to win the throne of the country with a foreign surname. There were not only internal opponents, but also interference from the outside. In the future, it is estimated that the descendants of Jin will not only be in terms of strength, but also be involved in all aspects.
