There is no need for Zhi Yao to deal with the Qi people's affairs. Now he just wants to know the detailed process after Zhi Yao went to Qi.
Although the situation was a bit wrong, Zhiyao still tried her best to clear up Zhizhuo's doubts, but there were some things that she couldn't tell in public, including intentionally supporting Zhao Bolu to achieve certain goals.
The people of Qi who followed Zhiyao and others all the way, faced the attack of the two "divisions" of the Jin army, had no ability to resist, and were completely in danger of collapse at the first touch.
The composition of these Qi people is very complex. Furthermore, there is no one who can give orders. They will be in chaos even if there is no fierce battle. They will definitely look miserable when they encounter a powerful attack.
Precisely because he knew that the Qi people he was following were part of a mob, he didn't feel any nervousness all the way to Zhiyao.
Zhiyao did not choose to defeat the Qi people who were following them, mainly because they did not want any changes in the situation, not because they were worried that they would not be able to defeat them.
"So, you asked Zhao Bolu to plunder the Qi State's ritual utensils and capture all the Qi State officials! Are there any Qing officials in the meantime?" Zhizhuo was surprised when he heard that the Qi State's ritual utensils were robbed, but he also captured dozens of Linzi prisoners.
'The respectable nobles of Qi were even more surprised.
To be honest, Zhiyao was quite puzzled by being able to capture a large number of Qi nobles. She looked down on the captured Qi nobles from the bottom of her heart and thought that they were extremely stupid for continuing to argue when the capital was attacked.
.
Zhiyao said to Zhishuo: "Ancestor, I don't want to send him to the capital, or he can be treated by 'Zhi'."
Nowadays, we are still in an era where whoever captures the prisoners has to deal with them. Even if Zhishuo is Zhiyao's grandfather, how to deal with the prisoners still requires Zhiyao's consent.
Zhishuo said: "The ritual vessels of Qi cannot be held."
That thing is so important, it is not only related to the face of Qi State, but more seriously, it is also related to whether the Jiang family can continue to maintain the political height of the country.
Ritual utensils, right? All countries have been using them since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some of the ritual utensils were given to the Zhou royal family during its heyday.
That is to say, we have now reached an era when rituals have collapsed. If some ritual vessels are damaged or lost, you can make them yourself. At that time when the Emperor Zhou could still command the world, no princes would dare to make ritual vessels privately. If any ritual vessels were broken or lost,
It needs Emperor Zhou to make up for it.
During the two to three hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period, many princes lacked ritual vessels and were not replaced by the Emperor of Zhou. They ended up holding the country unjustly and were ridiculed by other princes. The hearts of the people in the country gradually dispersed.
It was the turn of the Zhou royal family to move eastward, and the princes entrusted by the Emperor of Zhou presented ritual vessels to the Emperor of Zhou. To a certain extent, it opened a breakthrough for the princes to make ritual vessels privately.
A simple comparison: Originally, the power to mint money was in the central government, and no one else was allowed to mint money privately. This not only ensured the uniqueness of the currency, but also was a manifestation of maintaining the authority of the central government; when anyone can mint money, no matter what
Whether you admit it or not is that the authority of the central government has been lost. The difference lies in whether you have discovered it or understood it.
Ji's surname in the world means that the Emperor of Zhou and the princes got into trouble and the rites collapsed. First, the Zhou royal family attacked each other for the throne of the emperor, and then some princes did not agree with the legitimacy of the Emperor of Zhou. It is strange that the patriarchal system is not in chaos.
Zhiyao had never thought of taking the ritual utensils of Qi as his own, but after Qi Jun Chujiu passed away, some things had to be done differently.
"Maybe I can control the politics of Qi with a weapon?" Zhiyao said in a low voice.
Zhizong narrowed his eyes and nodded silently in agreement.
The matter is obvious there. Qi Jun Chujiu passed away suddenly. Many things must have not been explained in time. There is nothing wrong with Qi State having a prince. Although there is no intention to pass the throne at present, there is still a need to "support a journey".
, such as asking ministers to help stabilize the situation.
About two hours later, Zhao Yang came over with his guards.
When Zhao Yang came here, he saw a group of young men gathering together to chat. The scene seemed to be dominated by Zhiyao, and the mood of winning the battle suddenly became a little less beautiful.
However, when Zhao Yang saw Zhao Bolu and thought of what Zhao Bolu had done when he went to Qi this time, he began to think about how to maximize the benefits from the stolen Qi rituals.
As evening approached, Zhiyao and others followed the army to the Jin army camp outside the city of "Puyang".
It is estimated that the event of bringing back the ritual utensils of the Qi State was really big. For the Jin people, it was not only a psychological encouragement, but also the pride of being able to control the Qi State at will. They still held a banquet during the war.
What a happy event! It’s good to have some drinks without being greedy.
"This time Yao led his army to conquer Linzi and seize the ritual utensils of Qi. This is the first time in our (Jin) history in the past hundred years!" Zhishuo was a Yuanrong, so he must be sitting in the chief position.
Because Zhisong no longer treats Zhiyao as a child, he will definitely not let Zhiyao sit next to him to act out the family relationship between grandson and grandson. Instead, he follows etiquette and solemnly arranges for Zhiyao to sit in the second row on the left, near the front.
Location.
Sitting on the main seat is Zhi Shu.
Zhao Yang was sitting near the right side of the main seat, which was equivalent to being the only one.
The people in the first row of seats on the left and right sides are seated in order of their positions in the military. Most of them are from the Zhi family or the Zhao family, and a few are from middle-class nobles.
The junior members of the Qing family, including Zhiyao, did not have seats on such occasions before. Being able to appear on such occasions and still have seats has to be said to be a great improvement, and it can also be interpreted as that they are favored by their elders.
Treat each other squarely, and then you can participate in family affairs.
Being able to participate in family affairs is a kind of affirmation for the younger generation. Although many younger generations have the status of heirs, they have no real power within the family, and they don't even have any resources at all. Outsiders just think they are very good when they see their usual treatment.
A group of juniors were very excited, especially Zhao Bolu who seemed the most excited.
Previously, Zhao Bolu was called by Zhao Yang to have a private conversation. Outsiders have no way of knowing what the father and son talked about. Just looking at Zhao Bolu's mental outlook before and after, one can guess that it was a good thing for Zhao Bolu.
"Yao, I would like to toast you with this wine." Zhao Bolu looked obviously more confident than before.
What is a 杝? It is a three-legged, one-eared, two-column style with a round mouth in the shape of a trumpet. It was a ritual vessel of the Yin Shang a long time ago, and later it was used by nobles.
Zhiyao held the cup in one hand and covered her face with the other arm, and drank the turbid-looking wine.
Distillation technology has not yet been developed, so the wine looks cloudy.
Nowadays, no matter what kind of wine has a color, it usually looks like a turbid liquid. There are actually many types of wine, and the alcohol content should be between five degrees and eight degrees.
What Zhiyao drank was a thick wine, and there were even grains of yellow rice in it.
There is nothing wrong with wine showing a viscous appearance. Think about the saying "eat the slurry in the pot to welcome the king", and you will understand that some wine itself looks like that.
Zhao Bolu himself took a long ladle to add wine, raised the bronze cup again, greeted Zhiyao, Wei Ju and Han Geng, and said: "Drink this cup again."
Zhiyao, who couldn't tell whether he liked drinking or not, was not lacking in etiquette. The four of them greeted each other and drank the wine from Zhongzhong.
Of course, Zhiyao hasn't fully grown yet, so she won't drink too much wine anyway.
The scene of the four living happily was watched by everyone. The clan members or retainers of the Zhi and Zhao families had many thoughts in their minds. The thoughts in the minds of the middle-class nobles were definitely more complicated.
It is certain that the Fan family and the Zhonghang family will be removed from the Jin State, which means that there are only four families with ministerial positions left in the Jin State.
After this chaos, to be honest, no middle-level nobles are willing to have another chaos. I very much hope that the four noble families can abandon their past conflicts. Even if they cannot achieve sincere unity, they will not fiercely target each other. Otherwise, there will be no recovery.
No one knows how long the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom can maintain its dignity.
The middle-class nobles are not only worried about the future of the country, they are also afraid that if the chaos continues, one day they will die tragically, and the family will lose the sacrifice to their ancestors.
Therefore, they do not have enough trust in Zhizhu, Zhao Yang, Wei Chi and Han Buxin. They can only hope that Zhiyao, Zhao Bolu, Wei Ju and Han Geng can establish reliable friendships and take care of their friendship in the future when they become their own families.
It is best to maintain friendship and cooperate sincerely.
If Zhiyao had the ability to read minds, he would think that middle-class nobles who have such thoughts are stupid.
There is harmony among several families with high positions, but the unlucky ones are definitely the middle-class nobles.
After all, the larger the family, the more interests it needs. If several big families don't encroach on each other's interests, they can only attack the middle-class nobles!
What truly smart middle-class nobles should hope is that several high-ranking families will fight instead of fighting. Because the more entangled the high-ranking families are to form checks and balances, the safer the middle-ranking nobles will be.
Everyone was having a good time, and the person who had left the Expo Road hurriedly came in, leaned next to Zhi Shuang and said something unknown, so that Zhi Shuang's face suddenly changed.
Because Zhiyao did so well this time, it was obvious that Zhishi's prestige had been improved. When everyone saw Zhisong's face turning gloomy, they couldn't help but look at Zhisong and stopped talking.
Zhao Yang asked: "What happened?"
Zhizhuo said with a stiff face, "Doctor Liang was attacked and died."
Doctor Liang? This "Liang" refers to a fiefdom. Although there are many repeated place names now, everyone still knows that Zhisong is talking about Liang Yingfu who was sent to Ju State as an envoy.
Zhizong had been observing Zhao Yang, and wanted to find out from his facial expression whether Zhao Yang sent someone to assassinate him.
Zhao Yang was obviously startled when he heard the news that Liang Ying's father was dead, and then the corner of his mouth curled up and quickly disappeared, replacing it with an expressionless face.
This scene was captured very keenly by Zhizong, and he immediately concluded that it was Zhao Yang who sent people to kill Liang Ying's father.
After digesting the news, many of the other nobles believed that Zhao Yang sent people to kill Liang Ying's father. The reason was that Zhao Yang was able to kill Zhao Wu, who came to the door with gifts, and kill Liang, who had been eating and eating.
The baby's father seems to be in line with Zhao's family style.
This is the disadvantage of having a bad reputation. Even if someone didn't do something, everyone thinks it must have been him.
Gradually, Zhao Yang saw something was wrong from some people's faces. He moved his lips when he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say anything. He just sat there motionless with a calm face.
The atmosphere in the military tent was becoming strange, and the banquet simply ended in a strange atmosphere...
