Chapter 335: The correct way to destroy the country
Zhi's invasion of Qi State this time seems very strange.
First, there were the two acts of regicide by the Tian family, and then there was the existence of the Dukes of Qi. Moreover, the Zhi family returned to the country with Zi Palace of Qi Junren, and encountered no resistance along the way.
Such a successful invasion can be attributed to the frequent civil strife in Qi State, the Tian family's own unjust position, and the flag-waving and shouting of a group of Qi State princes.
When everyone in the Tian family cried out for beatings, most people in Qi were not surprised. The reason was that Yan Ying had already made a prediction in advance and concluded that the Tian family would bring disaster to Qi.
With Yan Ying's "prophecy" in front of him, and if someone with good intentions repeats the same old tune again, how the fermentation of public opinion will be depends on how high Yan Ying's weight will be in the hearts of the people.
Unfortunately for the Tian family, Yan Ying's status in the hearts of the Qi people was not low, which suddenly made the Tian family even more tragic.
It is said that reputation is useful, but without real hard power, no one will find it to be unhappy. No matter how bad the reputation is, one can live happily; if one has a bad reputation and is targeted by powerful people, the disadvantages of a bad reputation will be eliminated.
It's reflected.
So, it really is true to that sentence: everything depends on man-made efforts.
After Zhiyao occupied "Linzi", the first thing she did was to organize a funeral for Qi Junren.
Qi Junren's reign was very short. He did not commit any serious wrongdoings as a prince, and he had no time to do anything after he succeeded to the throne. Because he died under the persecution of powerful ministers, he would definitely get more sympathy, especially regicide.
It's still the Tian family, and the sympathy effect is doubled.
The fact that Zhi Shi changed his identity from an invader to helping the Qi State Office to uphold justice will make some people confused. But who made some of the things Tian Shi did worse?
The Tian family already knew that nothing could be done. They migrated throughout the winter without moving too much money, but moved a large amount of people and food eastward.
The Tian family was busy doing those things. Not only did they not make any preparations for resistance, but they also had no extra time to care about their allies.
The nobles of Qi, who were originally allies of the Tian family, were already panicked after learning that the Zhi family would definitely send troops, but when they saw what the Tian family did, they suddenly became even more confused.
"Many people came to cry bitterly, begging for forgiveness for their crimes, saying that all the things they said were done by Mr. Tian, and that the two and three sons were deceived."
"This time we have repented and are willing to send troops to eradicate the rebels for the country."
"The princes of Qi State argued endlessly, trying to strengthen the army and horses, and finally they were willing to pardon the crimes and make them use their strength to kill the thieves."
Zhiyao was not surprised when he heard this. The power of the Dukes of Qi had been wiped out to pieces. They were eager to increase their strength. With so many nobles coming to their door, how could they not know how to make a choice?
"My family can just sit back and watch," Zhiyao said.
The current situation does not allow the Qi State to perish. The situation Zhiyao wants is for all parties to stand on their own. With the Tian family, how can the Qi State's dukes be missing?
If the Tian family continues to exist, it will help the Zhi family to continue to run rampant in the Qi State. The Dukes of Qi State will not dare to throw the Zhi family aside for a while. Other countries want to participate in dividing the Qi State, and the Tian family and the Duke of Qi will go around.
The choice between the two families.
Setting up two targets would be beneficial to the Zhi family. Zhi Yao would not easily destroy one of them. The next time there was any movement, it would be the real demise of Qi.
The fact is that, the clarity of the situation is very beneficial to Zhishi, so Zhiyao will not make the situation more complicated.
Qi Junren's funeral will definitely not be grand, but all parties who should be invited to attend the funeral must be notified in place.
In this way, who the new monarch of Qi will be and what their management team will be like, everything remains to be discussed.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qi State has fallen into its most critical moment. To be willing to save the country, one must not only have a smart head, but also have the power to serve as a fulcrum. Otherwise, one should continue to pretend to be confused.
"Why is there so much noise outside?"
Zhiyao must be in "Linzi" city and will not live in the palace city, but she will definitely control the palace city.
This kind of behavior cannot be hidden from smart people. They will see that the Zhi family is not here to bring justice to Qi State. It is clearly showing their ambitions, not to mention that the Zhi family's army is cleaning up the cities around "Linzi".
The man who came to cause trouble is called Gao Wupi, and you can tell what his name is by looking at his surname.
The Gao family and the Guo family in Qi State are two rather special families, which can even be said to be a little transcendent.
The Tian family wanted to control Qi. After weakening the Qi clan, the next thing they had to deal with was the Gao family and the Guo family.
In fact, Tian Qi had previously designed the Bao family to carry out a very brutal attack on the Gao family and the Guo family.
Because the Arita family secretly helped the Bao family, the Guo family and the Gao family were cut off from external support, making the Bao family the final winner.
Later, when the Bao family was liquidated, it was the Tian family who pushed for it. Seeing that the Tian family easily controlled the Qi court, Tian's ability to play both sides and sow discord was undoubtedly a very good thing for the Tian family.
Now, the fact that the Tian family is facing such a predicament only proves one thing, that is, relying on conspiracy has always been inferior to the real strength, and many of their conspiracies have turned into making wedding clothes for the Zhi family.
Gao Wupi was invited in, and when he saw Zhi Yao, he cursed: "You son of a bitch! Are you trying to bully the people of Qi?"
In an instant, everyone except Zhi Yao drew their swords out of their sheaths and glared angrily at Gao Wupi, waiting for Zhi Yao's order to chop Gao Wupi into pieces.
Zhiyao looked surprised at being scolded and said: "I want to die, so why do I come to look for Yao? If I look for the Tian family, I can get the name of loyalty."
That's right.
This was the first time in her life that Zhiyao was scolded in person, and she was scolded in extremely insulting terms.
real!
Zhiyao has grown so old that he was scolded for the first time since he was a child, so much so that he even forgot how to scold someone.
For very practical reasons, even though Zhiyao is not the eldest son, he is favored by Zhisong and Zhishen. He has been so sensible since he was a child, and he has been generating income for the family since he was six years old. He has received countless praises, which really makes Zhiyao.
How can he be scolded when he is loved by everyone?
Externally? Those who are the enemies of the Zhi family will show their identity when facing Zhi Yao, and they will scold behind his back. Anyway, they will not scold in front of Zhi Yao.
So, counting the last life, after more than 20 years, Zhiyao was scolded again, and it really had the effect of being like a lifetime ago.
Gao Wupi was a little confused!
To curse someone, I still chased him to his residence and cursed him. It didn’t matter that the other person didn’t get furious after I cursed him. How could he have such a strange look on his face and such an obvious smile in his eyes?
Could it be that Zhiyao was born a bitch?
Or is Zhiyao, as the winner, barking at the incompetence of the loser?
In short, Gao Wupi was stunned for a moment, and then his scolding became even more fierce and unpleasant.
Being scolded for the first time is a novelty, and Zhiyao will not get angry.
No one likes to be scolded unless they are being scolded.
After listening to it, Zhi Yao probably heard what was being cursed and gave Yu Rang a look.
After receiving the signal, Yurang stepped forward with his sword and easily controlled Gao Wupi.
Gao Wupi, who was under control, was still scolding, but Yu Rang gave him a sharp blow to the mouth with the hilt of his sword, which turned into a whine of "woo woo".
In fact, he was scolding Zhiyao for not being upright and upright like the Qing clan of the Jin state, and like a ground mouse who colluded with the Tian family to scheme against the Qi state.
It is true that Jin's ministerial families have basically no good reputation among other countries, but they have always been straightforward. If they have any dissatisfaction or plot, they will directly use force, and they really will not engage in any conspiracies.
Did Zhiyao have any plans for Qi? That must be true.
It is impossible to say that Zhiyao and the Tian family plotted against Qi together.
At most, Zhiyao knew about Tian's plan, and repeatedly added fuel to the flames on some matters, pushing Tian to work at a faster pace, without having time to lay a solid foundation.
Zhi Yao has deep experience in the fact that walking too fast can cause damage to the egg. Zhi Yao suffered the consequences of being too eager in many things when Zhi Yao couldn't control the pace.
Gao Wupi was not the only person who came to see Zhiyao during this period of time, or rather to see Zhiyao, but except for Gao Wupi who came to seek death, the rest of the Qi people came to flatter her without exception.
The general environment is that no one in Qi can ignore the Zhi family. No matter what their thoughts or opinions are about the current situation of Qi State, the Zhi family seems to be able to determine the fate of Qi State. They can ensure survival by pleasing the Zhi family, and even benefit from it.
It will be the choice of most people.
The princes of Qi are trying to curry favor with the Zhi family, so they can't let the nobles with weird surnames join in, let alone the Cui family who is setting an example in front of them.
The Cui family? Either the Cui family with the surname Jiang, or the Cui family located on the north bank of Jishui River. Their surname is Ji. They should be the descendants of a certain feudal lord of the Zhou royal family?
The Ji surname is not the king of a country or the status of a duke. It is usually the descendant of a duke who lost his country. The same is true for Zhiyao with the Ji surname.
As for why there are so few people with the surname "Ji" in the later years, it is actually the surname in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the surname in the later years just became the surname.
The nobles of Qi who were the first to join the Zhi family, they were more eager than anyone else to see the end of Qi as soon as possible. This was the common trait of traitors. They definitely did not want the target of their betrayal to get better and better, which would make them appear to be blind-sighted and instead defect to them.
Only when a new master is acquired and the old master is beaten into an irreversible loser can they show their vision and wisdom.
So, the group of former Qi nobles who are currently working for the Zhi family are working very hard.
Zhi Yao treated the Qi people who came to meet him. They either had high birth status or a relatively good reputation. They did not make Zhi Yao unhappy. Zhi Yao was determined not to show an arrogant and domineering side.
Now Zhishi wants to give the warmth of spring breeze to those who are willing to cooperate, and work hard to win as many hearts as possible.
Of course, anyone who is shameless will see violent winds, rain, lightning, and thunder.
All in all, the force used by the Zhi family in Qi is sufficient for the time being, but their moral character is indeed lacking a bit.
That is to say, the Qi State itself is in chaos, otherwise, no matter how strong the Zhi family is in martial arts, it would be almost impossible to imagine such a triumphant advance this time.
The Zhi family's use of force in Qi State is only an auxiliary one, and Zhi Yao will continue to use more force in the future...
