Chapter 277: Don't care who it is, whoever you think is who it is
People come and go quickly.
The original thing was that the Zhi family and his son were assassinated one after another. They came here as soon as they came. Do they have to wait until they finish the meal in the evening before leaving?
Today's gathering will actually accomplish nothing at all. No one will show their true attitude in public, and any information provided will be done in private.
A group of elders gathered together, but "Xintian" as the capital city was in a state of chaos.
Even if it is a family that has a grudge against the Zhi family, they now have to pretend to be working hard. Is there any gain? Anyway, the attitude is in place.
People are searching everywhere, arresting suspicious people when they encounter them, and using violent force immediately when they resist.
People from all over the world showed absolute cooperation, but it was inevitable that some would say something like the Jin Kingdom was indeed overbearing.
This is because they did not realize the seriousness of the assassination incident at all. The eldest son of the Zhi family was assassinated first, and later someone tried to assassinate the "Yuan Rong" of the Jin Dynasty. The incident had risen to a level that would subvert the national order.
Those who knew the seriousness of the matter began to pray that their home country would not be implicated in this assassination incident, otherwise a large number of Jin troops would gather and march into the country after the spring broadcast tomorrow.
"The ritual utensils made Yao must go to the Hu family. The reason for the apology was that the Hu family escorted her, so that we could get a glimpse of where Yao was going." Zhiyao was of course reviewing the story.
There are many people in the hall, and without exception they are all the current core figures of the Zhi family, as well as clan members and retainers.
Sima Ranju said solemnly: "What Zongzi said is correct. If you find out who placed the ritual vessels, you can find out who did it."
It is very difficult to find out who placed the ritual vessels. In the process, everyone may have a chance, especially the Hu family and the Wei family, and even the Zhi family has internal problems.
Zhiyao first bowed to Zhishen, and then said: "Both the Wei family and the Hu family can be ignored, and we don't want to embarrass them."
Do you know what it means to consider the overall situation?
Even if the Wei family and the Hu family are suspected, the Zhi family will definitely not be able to confront the Wei family now, and even need to reconcile the relationship with the Wei family. The other families will benefit from the fight between the two families, and the price they may pay is
Let Jin be reduced to a second-rate country.
real!
No kidding!
Not only does the Zhi family have a very large fiefdom, it is also the most populous family in the Jin Kingdom. It is really too much to say that it is ahead of other technology trees.
At present, the Wei family is weaker than the Zhi family, but it is very powerful compared to other families. This strength is based on the fact that there are many fiefdoms, a population of nearly one million, and the military force is not weak, and the average quality is very strong.
Down.
If only the Zhi family and the Wei family were to fight, the scale of the war would definitely not be less than when Wu and Qi each mobilized an army of 100,000 troops last year. It is even possible that the troops assembled by the two families would exceed that of Wu or Qi.
Let's put it this way, a few years ago there was an example of Zhishi gathering an army of 150,000 people. Even if Zhishi's army of 150,000 people was just an armed parade, it is enough to prove that Zhishi can mobilize more than 150,000 troops.
And this is without extreme mobilization.
How many troops can the Wei family recruit? Probably only the core management of the Wei family knows, or even they don't know. This is because the Wei family has not tried extreme recruitment, let alone conducted a census.
In the past ten years, the Wei family has brought out at most two legions at a time. Seeing how they are still able to handle it, you can know that the impossible is a limit.
Another fact is that once the Zhi family and the Wei family fight, the rest of the Qing family must choose sides, otherwise the Zhi family and the Wei family should clear the field first and then decide the final winner. This is why the Zhi family and the Wei family will
If the Wei family fights, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it will be the reason why Jin will become a second-rate country.
The Zhi family fights the Fox family? To be honest, even the Zhong family, the weakest family in the imperial family at present, can really challenge the Hu family in a duel. Do you believe that the Fox family is not the opponent of the Zhong family?
Of course, even if the Fox family defeated the Zhong family in the end, it would be a miserable victory.
Zhiyao doesn't want to fight the Fox family now.
Hu helped Zhi to escort Zhi back to Lu as an apology. Zhi went to make things difficult. Not only would Hu's overtures have the opposite effect, anyone who wants to help Zhi in the future should think twice before doing so.
Woolen cloth.
At this moment, Sima Ranju looked at Zhiyao with extremely admiring eyes, but could not praise him out loud due to their different status.
Whether it is appreciation or praise, it has always been a top-to-bottom expression; and don't say "Thank you for your hard work", it is also a top-to-bottom wording.
Some people understood Zhiyao's subtext.
Cheng Shuo asked more directly: "Destroy Zhao? Destroy Han?"
Everyone immediately concentrated their attention.
So, no matter who arranged the assassination, there is no need to use your brain cells to guess who is the most suspicious. Killing at least one high-ranking family can make the family profit and show the power of the Zhi family.
Zhishen is also looking at Zhiyao.
In the past, Zhishen would have been more resistant to starting a civil war. After what happened today, it would not be a big deal to wipe out a family with a high position. It would frighten anyone so much that they would not dare to mess around, and it would make all the families help Zhishen.
Shi stared at the others, not just killing two birds with one stone.
Why do other families help the Zhi family to keep an eye on the others? Because they are afraid that the same thing will happen and the Zhi family will find an opportunity to legitimately start a civil war in the name of revenge.
Why didn't the Zhi family choose the weakest ones, the Hu family or the Zhong family? It was precisely because they were too weak to pose a threat to the Zhi family for the time being, and it also had something to do with the Wei family's views and the Zhong family themselves.
Let's talk about the Zhong family. No matter how much they try to separate themselves, they are still regarded as a noble family. Zhi's operation on the Zhong family will greatly stimulate the other public families and even make Jin Junwu make a death struggle, not to mention that the Zhong family wants to
This is the point of taking refuge in Zhishi.
One of the reasons why Zhiyao did not take action against the Hu family was that she was concerned about Zhi family's reputation and did not want anyone to dare to help Zhi family in the future. Furthermore, the Hu family was also moving closer to Zhi family.
Are you going to do something like surgery on your younger brother? It’s better to do less until the last moment, so as not to become a loner.
Zhiyao shook his head and said: "It is not appropriate to have a civil war now."
One sentence made almost everyone look stunned.
Expo Road was very happy and said: "My eldest son has learned clearly that it is really not appropriate to have a civil war now. If there is a civil war, the whole country will be in panic. How can I handle the attack by Wu and the princes? Furthermore, the civil war will be harmful or not beneficial to my family, regardless of 'Ye'
It has not yet been completed, and the reclamation in the east of Handan is only two years old, so it must not be interrupted. What's worse, there may be danger of a group attacking."
It makes sense, but not many people accept it.
In their view, their current head of the family was assassinated, and the next head of the family was almost gone. If they did not destroy at least one high-ranking family, they would most likely be looked down upon.
In fact, the appearance of the ritual vessel that should not have appeared first was a kind of temptation in itself, and there were two ambushes later, which basically violated Zhishi's red line.
If you can tolerate this, everyone should think that Zhishi is easy to bully and step on her from time to time!
Cheng Shuo was extremely insistent on showing force, and the majority of people supported his view.
People who don't want a civil war know very well that they can't pessimize the situation and can only mention other things in a roundabout way.
Zhi Yao ignored the noisy crowd, leaned towards Zhishen's ear, and said, "Sir, destroy the guards next year, and then attack Lu."
What the hell???
Zhishen asked in confusion: "The ritual utensils were placed by the Wei State or the Lu State?"
Zhiyao said: "Destroying Wei will bring great benefits to my family. If we want to destroy Wei, we must attack Lu."
What is the most important thing? To destroy the Wei Kingdom and then attack the Lu Kingdom, or even use troops against the Qi Kingdom at the same time, Zhishi can do it all with less than one legion of troops, and he does not worry at all about someone raiding his nest while using troops.
Zhiyao saw that Zhishen was a bit unresponsive, so he changed his words and said, "My family will definitely get the textile land of Qi State. By occupying the Wei territory, we can connect it to the hinterland, so there is no need to worry about losing it again."
If you say this, Jishen will be able to understand it completely.
In order to strengthen the ancestral foundation and even occupy more than 70% of the market of all the Xia countries, Zhishen didn't care who he fought.
Zhishen nodded first, and then said: "Let the Wei family leave a city so that they can continue to feed on the blood of their ancestors."
Well?
It's not impossible.
So, the two father and son have reached an ideological agreement on what to do next year.
Later, Zhishen called Expo Road over and asked him to find a reason to attack Weiguo. Anyway, he couldn't leave Wuming.
"Maybe I can tell you that the ritual utensils were placed by the guards to make my family disrespectful?" Expo Road gave a not-so-reliable reason.
In fact, it is also possible.
Whoever the Zhi family associates with, as long as they are not fighting against Weiguo, it will definitely be beneficial to Weiguo.
A similar principle can be applied to any family within the Jin Kingdom, or to other countries.
The situation is like that. If the Zhi family goes to war, whoever they fight will make the situation chaotic. As long as each family or country is not involved, it will be advantageous to get a chance to breathe, and even get a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Zhiyao lowered her voice and said, "Someone needs to keep an eye on Zhao Muxie at all times."
In fact, when Zhiyao was assassinated, the first suspect that came to mind was Zhao Muxie.
It’s not that Zhiyao is throwing dirty water for nothing, the reason is based on the flexibility of the ethical bottom line. He himself dares to be ranked second, and Zhao Muxie is definitely the well-deserved first.
This is Zhiyao wearing shoes, and she has to hold them tight no matter what.
Zhao’s mother-in-law’s shirt, which also wears shoes, seems to have no moral bottom line in history?
Of course, the "Zhiyao" in the original history actually had no such thing as a moral bottom line. He bullied his allies more than once, causing his allies to defect at the most critical moment.
Zhishen and Bobodao looked at each other, and Zhishen asked: "Yao wants to destroy Zhao?"
Zhiyao nodded slightly and replied: "If you don't move now, it will be destroyed at the age of ten."
There is a latest date, which means there is a flexible choice. When the time comes, or Zhao Muxie is too seeking death, will Zhiyao be able to fulfill her wish and play the trick of raising ashes with one hand?
At this time, Zhishen was thinking: "Our ancestors have accumulated mature textile technology, and my generation has obtained large tracts of pasture. It seems like it is time to start a new business?"
Zhiyao was thinking: "We have a plan, and we still need to test it first. Maybe it won't work without a civil war. This actually doesn't depend on my family, but on them."
