Chapter 472: Sudden Opportunity

Zhiyao knew that more than 30,000 Chu troops were wreaking havoc on the territory of the Zhou royal family. He heard that many ministers of the Zhou royal family were killed or captured, and once again realized how weak the Zhou royal family was.

Logically speaking, Zhiyao, who knew that the Chu army was wreaking havoc on the territory of the Zhou royal family, should send troops to help the king? But everything must be done with a procedural issue.

First of all, Emperor Zhou had to send people to ask for help from the original country. After completing the process of asking for help, Zhiyao decided whether to send troops to help the king.

Some people may wonder whether Zhiyao sent troops to intercept the angels who came to ask for help, or whether Zhiyao was indifferent to the requests for help. Thinking this way would be an injustice to Zhiyao. He neither sent troops to intercept the angels, nor even the angels.

No shadow was seen.

No matter why the angel didn't come to Zhiyao, it wasn't Zhiyao's fault anyway!

A new problem arose. The angel did not ask to see Zhiyao, but he went to the Han family.

The rules were set by the Zhou royal family, and they did not break the rules once or twice. They ignored the rule of "subordinates are not ministers of the emperor" to the original country, which obviously meant to cause trouble.

What’s even more funny about this incident is that Han Geng didn’t ask Zhiyao for instructions immediately, but only received the angel who received Emperor Zhou to report.

What's the situation? It can be understood that Han Geng still thought that he and Zhiyao were equal in status, and did not fully realize that the two of them had become monarchs and ministers.

In other words, Han Geng regarded the Yuan Kingdom as the previous Jin Kingdom, and the king was just a decoration?

In Han Geng's view, the situation was obviously not that serious, or he did not have the correct understanding and thought it was not a big deal.

Zhiyao, who did not pursue the matter immediately, asked, "How does Situ think we should handle it?"

Han Geng obviously had an idea and replied: "The emperor has not asked for help from the emperor. It is up to the Han family whether to send troops or not."

If Zhiyao had not integrated into the current era, he would have been furious when he heard Han Geng's answer.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a rule that any family could start a private war privately, that is, launch a war in the form of a family. The use of troops internally was usually a war of revenge, and it could also be used externally. The same thing for both of them was the need to gain something.

Pay tribute to the king.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Li and Tang Dynasties, it was allowed to start a family private war. The difference was that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you did not need to ask the monarch for instructions, and you only had to bear the consequences of starting a family private war; from the Western Han Dynasty to the Li Tang Dynasty, you needed to ask the monarch for instructions in advance.

Private family wars can only be initiated with permission, and the scale of military use is restricted.

Because the relationship is within the scope of the rules, what Han Geng expressed is that he is willing to bear the corresponding consequences. Once the country is involved, he is willing to admit the corresponding consequences.

To put it bluntly, Han Geng expressed his willingness to take the blame for the original country on behalf of the Han family.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhiyao roughly figured out the circumstances behind the Zhou royal family's request for help from the Han family. First, the Han family's fiefdom was right next to the Zhou royal family, and secondly, Zhiyao was recruiting troops outside.

Here we need to understand the actual situation of the Zhou royal family. They are really too weak, and the envoy team has no ability to safely pass through the war zone and reach Zhiyao. Is this supposed to be the case, why the Zhou royal family would choose to seek help from the Han family nearby?

The Han family is said to be a family whose strength actually exceeds that of many vassal states. It is indeed capable of rescuing the Zhou royal family. In particular, the Zhou royal family has had a very good relationship with the Han family for a long time, and they believe that they can get reinforcements if they ask for help from the Han family.

Another point is that the Zhou royal family most likely did not understand the political environment of the original country and believed that the Zhi family and the Han family had destroyed the Jin state together. Whether the two sides were in collusion or had a good relationship, the Han family could immediately send troops if they wanted.

Biquge

Being able to dispatch troops quickly is very crucial for the current Zhou royal family. They are eager to get support and get reinforcements faster, and they are definitely willing to reduce as many steps as possible to save more time.

"After all, we are in a stage of change. Many matters can become insurmountable rules without promulgating a decree. Even if they become new rules, they will be ignored by too many people." Zhiyao was even more cautious because of Han Geng's statement.

I don’t want to deal with it immediately, but I just realize the importance of the new rules being recognized and implemented.

There has never been a chance for Zhiyao to perform a "migration to establish faith". He prefers to do it subtly. It seems that a major event is necessary to make the people of the original country fully understand that times have changed.

Han Geng didn't know what Zhiyao was thinking, so he said: "Qin may come back, but Zheng refuses to surrender. This is the reason why it is difficult to rescue the emperor!"

Zhiyao did not give Han Geng any response.

The choice of whether to rescue the Zhou royal family now rests with the Han family. Even if the Zhou royal family is wiped out this time, it will have nothing to do with Zhiyao and the original clan.

"Is it possible that the Zhou royal family was destroyed by 30,000 Chu troops? It's not impossible!" Zhiyao suddenly thought of this.

Suddenly, Zhiyao began to look forward to it.

If the Zhou royal family were to disappear, the people of the world would lose their common master and enter an era of competition between heroes. Whoever would rule the world again would not have any legal flaws.

In other words, it was the Yuan Kingdom that finally destroyed the Zhou royal family. No matter what the reason was, the definition of inferiority overcoming superiority could not be escaped. The reason was that Zhiyao accepted the canonization of Emperor Zhou.

Ji Zhou also replaced Yin Shang by suppressing his superiors, so he had to come up with a lot of magical things, and then smear Yin Shang to his heart's content to prove the correctness of Ji Zhou's replacement of Yin Shang.

In many dynasties, they acted as ministers and conquered their superiors to gain power. If they could do that, they would end up with a corresponding end one day.

A dynasty that does this is far more wary of internal affairs than external affairs. What they fear is that one day they will be replaced.

The only way to win the country is to expel the foreign invaders. If you can have a righteous name to save the people from hanging, it will be more difficult for the internal officials to replace them. It is very likely that the ministers who hold the power will be dismissed by the emperor with just a word.

The situation was such that the emperor's words could make countless people want to get rid of powerful officials. The core reason was the founding emperor's integrity in winning the country.

Zhiyao began to think: "Should I do something, such as secretly supporting those Chu troops, or even simply sending troops disguised as Chu troops to conquer 'Luoyi'?"

This idea is really too tempting!

"No, wherever you walk, you will leave traces. I can't do that!" Zhiyao resisted the urge to do something.

To be discovered secretly would be a serious blow to your reputation. It would be better to send out troops to destroy the Zhou royal family openly, and at least you can have an honest statement.

Just because you can't do something secretly doesn't mean you really don't do anything.

Later, Zhiyao called his husband and ordered: "Choose a reliable person to go to Wang Ji to meet the Chu general privately and give him this thing."

Didn't the original army capture Chu Junzhong? Among them, they obtained Yiying's seal.

If that Chu army captured "Luoyi" and did something tragic, the order was given by the Chu Junzhong, so what happened to the Yuan Kingdom, right?
