According to Zhiyao's script, no matter whether the Ying family is Qin or the Ying family is Zhao, or even the two become one, as long as they are willing to move westward, they can.
The first person Zhiyao chose was Zhao Muxie, but Zhao Muxie obviously did not follow the script written by Zhiyao. First she went to steal the country of Dai, and later she went to Hetao.
Since Zhao's mother refused to cooperate, Zhiyao set her sights on the Qin family named Ying.
At present, the Ying Qin family is indeed conquering the west in accordance with Zhiyao's wishes, and will soon annex the Pi Rong. It will be the turn of the Yuan Kingdom to continue to force the Ying Qin family, and let the Ying Qin family continue to fight against Di
Rong.
If the problem in the south was not more serious and related to Zhiyao's great cause of "one world", Zhiyao would never tolerate Zhao Muxie's control of the Loop.
In fact, Zhiyao also knew that as cunning as Zhao's mother-in-law, it would be difficult to eliminate the Zhao family without deploying a huge force to encircle and suppress them, and it would take a long time.
"Is he forcing me to take action on the Hetao immediately after annexing Chu State!?" This is how Zhiyao felt after reading the letter.
In the letter, Zhao Muxie finally mentioned that Zhikai could lead his army to attack Hetao. Once Zhikai led his army, they would never escape and would fight the original army in an upright manner.
If it were anyone else, Zhiyao might be willing to try to believe it.
The one who made the promise was Zhao Muxie? Zhiyao wouldn't believe it no matter what she said.
This is based on Zhiyao's clear understanding that Zhixiao Zhao Muji is a completely insidious villain. This understanding is answered by the original history.
In the original history, Zhao's mother was quite sinister, and she became even more sinister after squeezing out her brother Zhao Bolu's inheritance rights.
So how insidious is Zhao Muxie? When Zhiyao, Han Geng and Wei Ju were trying hard to restore Jin's hegemony, Zhao Muxie undermined him more than once, and even repeatedly revealed information about Jin to Chu and Wu
country, so that many strategies failed to bear fruit, and the Jin army suffered heavy losses on the battlefield several times.
On another level, the original Zhao mother shirt repeatedly deliberately irritated the original Zhiyao, and also continued to spread negative rumors about the original Zhiyao. Just ask how many people in the late Spring and Autumn Period understood this method, and who knew this trick
Not an old silver coin?
But the original Zhiyao was really fooled. It was entirely because Zhizhuo and Zhishen laid a solid enough foundation for the Zhi family that the original Zhiyao could be created well. If the family background was not as good as Fan Jishe
Just like Zhong Xingyin, it overturned directly.
"But if that's the case, why are you following the same old path of the Qin Empire again?"
"Historically, the Qin State completed its unification and faced the choice of going north or south. In view of the fact that the Xiongnu expansion to the south of Yinshan Mountain would pose a hidden danger to the security of Neishi County, the First Emperor sent Meng Tian as a general to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu."
"After I destroy the Chu State, I will also take over the Chu State's troubles facing the invasion of Lingnan tribes. I will definitely need to send troops to sweep it away."
"In this case, wouldn't it be very possible to start a war on both sides at the same time, or to choose the option of going north first and then south?"
At this moment, Zhiyao had some shadows in her heart.
Some bloody lessons are recorded in history books to prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes. However, facts have repeatedly proved that the function of history books is to record the mistakes that people have made repeatedly.
Zhiyao didn't know what the situation was like when the Xiongnu were facing Meng Tian's conquest. He knew relatively well that the Zhao Dynasty had already mastered the "Sixteen-character Tactical Mantra".
In the past few years, when the Zhao family faced the approaching of the original army of less than 50,000 people, they fled as far away as possible, even leaving behind their belongings or part of the population; the original army of more than 50,000 went northward
, Zhao Muxie led her troops into the hinterland of Yinshan Mountain, and successfully ambushed the original army entering Yinshan Mountain several times.
Zhao Muji made it clear that she did not want to compete head-on with the Yuan Kingdom, but the Yuan Kingdom was temporarily unable to take over the territories that Zhao Daiguo had given up. If she insisted on taking over, she would either face repeated attacks by Zhao Daiguo's cavalry, or it would be very likely that she would be defeated by Zhao's Daiguo.
Yiqu and Zhao Daiguo jointly targeted the original people in the Hetao area.
It’s really not that you’re done just by conquering a piece of territory. Once you conquer it, you have to hold it, and even if you hold it, you have to produce something. Otherwise, you won’t see any benefit from increasing the territory, and instead it becomes a burden to the country.
It is very realistic that if the Yuan Kingdom did not destroy the Chu State, most of its national power and military strength would be devoted to the war in the south. Excessive troops stationed in Hetao would become a kind of putting the cart before the horse.
Zhiyao suddenly discovered that Taihu had not left.
Taihu had been paying attention to the direction of Zhiyao's gaze. When he saw Zhiyao looking at him, he subconsciously bowed and kept bending down to salute.
"What else is there?" Zhiyao asked.
Taihu had been waiting for this sentence for nearly half an hour, and immediately replied: "The people from the country have come to look for the Han family, the Hu family, the Zhong family, the Zhang family..." He read the names of more than a dozen families before continuing.
: "I am already spying on what Dai Guo is doing."
Zhiyao: "..."
How else to say that Zhao Muxie is sinister?
Since the Zhao family did this on behalf of the country, does Zhiyao want to investigate the contact situation between the two parties, what exchanges were conducted, and whether any intentions were reached.
After each family knows that someone is investigating, even if nothing happens, will they feel panicked?
Once the panic spreads, a lot of things will happen even if nothing happens, not to mention that something is really going on inside the original country.
The most taboo and helpless thing for a country has always been that there are clear enemies abroad, while internally there is a mess of jealousy among the monarchs and ministers.
Zhiyao has been weakening the nobles in the country, and for this reason, he does not hesitate to give generous salaries to high-ranking officials in exchange for concessions in the fiefdoms and population of each family under his rule.
In view of the fact that the Zhi family is too strong, the Han family, Zhong family, Hu family and other families have been giving in step by step. You can imagine how unwilling each family is. They want to resist but are afraid of being taken away in a wave, so they can only swallow their anger again and again.
.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
During this inspection, Zhiyao asked Zhikai to supervise the country in "Zhongjing", but most of the central management team was taken everywhere. Among the nine ministers, only Situ Zhongxing Qi and Tianbe Shifu were left.
In the capital city.
Zhiyao said to Taihu: "Don't make too much noise."
This means that we should investigate when necessary, but don't look for trouble.
Taihu showed a perplexed expression, but responded: "No!"
In the current era, even the king of a country cannot easily place people in various families. Even if people can be placed, it is really not possible for one or two generations to get close to the head of a family.
Those families that particularly need to be monitored are not the latest upstarts. The family history is at least two hundred years old. With many clansmen and generations of retainers attached to them, it is really difficult for new faces to stand out!
Zhiyao did not hide it when he established Tiqi. In fact, it was not that kind of hiding method. It should be that there was a department to spy on internal and external intelligence, and then he secretly established a smaller organization.
.
In short, there are some spies in Zhiyao who have sneaked into various families. Even if ten or twenty years have passed, the identity of many spies when they entered those families will still be the same identity now.
It is always said that "running water does not rot, door hinges do not have beetles", etc. The key point in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was that the able ones were not promoted. The game was based on who the ancestors did, and the descendants held the jobs.
Even though Zhiyao has made many changes on a large level, I don’t know how many people imitate Confucius’s talk about “the collapse of rituals and the destruction of music” all day long, and they hate Zhiyao for allowing so many poor people to stand up, and even crawling out of their houses.
It went to some people with noble blood.
So, if you want to change the rules, you must have the power to suppress the current generation. Unless the top management is determined to make changes, no one can succeed. If you encounter a leader who is easily shaken, you will be thrown out as a scapegoat anytime and anywhere.
.
Fortunately for Zhiyao, the Zhi family was already making many changes before they turned their family into a country. The first wave of pressure was shouldered by Zhiyao, and then Zhishen fully supported it. It was Zhiyao's turn to be the master of the family.
Loyal team and sufficient prestige.
Therefore, Zhiyao did not carry out reforms in one step, but it took three generations of efforts.
Who was so swept up in the reform that you couldn’t even see the waves? It wasn’t the Fan family, the Wei family, and many small and medium-sized families in Jin, as well as the victims of Qi, Wei, Lu, Yan, Qin, etc. who lost their country.
?
In the process of annexing other countries, the resources in Zhiyao's hands doubled again and again, erasing the old aristocrats who had subjugated the country, and adding batches of new aristocrats to become supporters. It took nearly forty years to reach the current situation.
The strength controlled by Zhiyao has always accounted for more than 70% of the country's power. The larger the proportion, the greater the proportion that suppressed the old nobles of the Jin Dynasty and did not dare to move.
Of course, it has something to do with the fact that Zhiyao's reform steps are not too drastic, and the game is like boiling a frog in warm water.
The Han family and other families knew that things were going badly, and there was no danger of a sudden annihilation of the family. Considering that there was no chance of victory in resisting with force, they endured time and time again until they reached the point where they would definitely die if they could not endure.
There are many people who promote reform, but if they proceed too fiercely, the counterattack they encounter will definitely be violent.
I don't blame those reformers. The situation they faced was either that the country was already extremely ill, or they knew very well that the king could change his mind at any time under pressure, and there was really no time for them to take their time.
"Gather all the ministers who are accompanying you." Zhiyao ordered.
Taihu gave up thinking and responded respectfully again: "No!"
The room here is very small and cannot accommodate too many people.
Zhiyao once again came to the main hall where the kings and ministers of the Zheng Kingdom originally held a meeting.
Although all the officials accompanying him are in the territory of "Xinzheng", they may not all be in the city.
Currently, there is no real-time mobile communication means. Just trying to find people is a hassle, and it is impossible to gather people in a short period of time.
Those who arrived at the main hall first went to greet Zhiyao first. Without knowing the situation, they would inevitably discuss it with others later.
Han Geng happened to be in the city and came over as soon as he was summoned.
Seats have always been ranked based on status. Han Geng is currently in power, so the seat must be closest to Zhiyao.
When he got the summons, Han Geng thought for a moment and figured out what the summons was probably for. Either there was something unusual happening in the Chu State, or it was related to the Zhao family's active activities in the original country.
If Zhiyao did not take the initiative to ask questions, Han Geng would actually find an opportunity to take the initiative to report.
As for whether the Han family had reached anything with the Zhao family on behalf of the country? Excluding the fact that Han Geng could not guarantee that a certain clan member was messing around, he himself did not even meet anyone from the Zhao family on behalf of the country, and the letter from Zhao Muxie was not confiscated at all.
.
Among the heavyweights, Sima Ranju was the second to arrive.
Sima Ranju still holds the official position of lieutenant and is in the palace. He came late to arrange some security tasks.
"Lieutenant, I wonder if Dai Guo would like to see you?" Han Geng had no worries and asked frankly.
Sima Ranju nodded and said: "Zhao Muji ordered someone to send a letter, and I have given it to the eunuch to deliver it to the king."
Therefore, the reason why Han Geng did not want to be involved with Zhao Daiguo at all was found.
Whenever Zhao Muji really wanted to cause trouble, unless she was going in the opposite direction, or making such a big noise, it was clear that she just wanted to disgust Zhiyao to death.
Now Han Geng was also disgusted by Zhao Muxie and thought: "If the Zhao family had always been Zhao Bolu as the head of the family, the king had no intention of targeting the Zhao family. From the beginning, it was Zhao Muji who conspired to target the Zhi family, and the king gave a strong blow.
, and various families subsequently suffered a series of losses."
It's not that Han Geng is stupid, it's mainly because the normal outlook and thinking of the contemporary era is like that. They believe that even if the Zhi family replaces the original Jin Dynasty official house, the other families will still be the same, and even the Zhi family will give up more
To win over interests, not to weaken them persistently.
"Lieutenant, does he know what happened at the King's summons?" Han Geng asked.
Sima Rangju's eyelids twitched. He was about to deal with it with a slap in the face, but then he thought of something and said, "It must be because of what Zhao Muxie did."
Without waiting for Han Geng to speak, Sima Ranju continued: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and perhaps he is a little suspicious of Zhao Muxie's behavior. It is a good thing for them to summon the ministers to talk about it."
Of course Han Geng understands that.
The more some things are hidden, it seems to be nothing if they don't break out. Once they break out, it will be earth-shattering. I don't know how many people will be killed and several families will be wiped out.
About an hour and a half later, everyone who was supposed to come arrived.
After everyone arrived, Zhiyao did not immediately ask everyone to clear up, and delivered some speech. She sat in the main seat and continued to relax with her eyes closed.
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was gradually getting weird, more and more people looked at Zhiyao who was sitting on the throne. Gradually, there was no whisper of conversation in the hall, and everyone was unanimously looking at the king who was still concentrating with his eyes closed.
.
After completely quieting down, Zhiyao opened her eyes and glanced at the ministers who were sitting peacefully.
When Zhiyao looked over, everyone straightened their backs subconsciously, feeling stressed even if they didn't have something to hide in their hearts, but those who had something on their minds would have their hearts beating fast and unsatisfactorily.
"I think I need to set an example for future generations."
"There has always been a practice of enfeoffment. Meritorious ministers sit on the fiefdom and enjoy the right to build family temples. I don't want to change it."
"I would like to make an oath of alliance with the ministers by killing the white horse."
"Let's take a look at the oath of alliance, and then decide if you are willing to make an oath of alliance with me."
