Wu Yue Struggles for Hegemony Chapter 392 Chaos in Jin Kingdom

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

.    Abandoning Yang Zilu, who was venting his anger on Mu Ji, it seemed that he saw that the Han Kingdom was ready, but did not start a fight.  This felt very awkward, so some viewers got upset and decided to step in and let another country start the fight.  Of course, they won't send anyone here, they are going to make the water even more muddy.

    "The audience is just two people, they are Fan Jishi and Zhongxingyin, but these two people have great backgrounds, they are the heads of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family respectively.  These two clans were once part of the Six Ministers of Jin State, but this is already a thing of the past.  At first, the two of them were one of the Six Ministers of the Jin Kingdom, but when they saw the civil strife broke out in the Zhao family, these two guys showed their notorious greed and took the opportunity to intervene and prepare to take advantage.  Well, the patriarch of the Zhao family at that time was Zhao Xie. Who was Zhao An?  He can almost be called the first person in the history of Zhao family.

    Zhao An was very clever. On the one hand, he sent troops to resist Fan Jishe and Zhongxing Yin. On the other hand, he directly or indirectly attracted the three ministers who had not yet intervened.  Fan Jishe and Zhong Xingyin can be regarded as guys with sores on their heads and pus on their soles.  None of the three ministers were willing to help them, and they all moved closer to Zhao An. As a result, not to mention Mao An,

    The two greedy guys were beaten to pieces, and finally fled to the state of Qi with a small amount of their family wealth to live there.  From then on, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family fell into despair. This time they came out, which was the last appearance in history. It was considered that they had squandered all their warm-up.

    After this suffering, these two old guys also learned to be wise and no longer thought about sending troops to Jin.  In fact, the two of them were unable to send troops at the moment. This time the two old guys were just trying to make the already turbid water in the pool even more turbid.  The two found a suitable occasion and joined forces to publicly declare something.

    I won¡¯t go into the full text of this statement, but to put it simply, we were really ashamed at the time, ah!  You have done something wrong and you are really unworthy of the upbringing of your country.  Now we understand our mistakes, in order to make up for the big mistakes we made in the first place.  At the same time, in order to compensate for the trauma we caused to the Jin State, the two of us decided to donate the territory of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family to the king (of the Jin State) to express our ten thousandth of our apology.

    Let me talk about it here. Although the Fan family and the Zhonghang family were driven away, the land still belonged to them in name.  I don't know whether it was because the king of Jin had forgotten, or because the four ministers didn't take the Fan family and the Zhonghang family seriously and were not afraid of them fighting back.  Of course, this is only in name.  This is like Hong Kong during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was nominally the territory of the Central Plains.  But I am afraid that even the Manchus would not really believe that Hong Kong was their land at that time.  But the question now is what the unconfirmed facts are. In name, this land belongs to Fan Jishe and Zhong Xingyin. There is no doubt about it.  In particular, the king of Jin really believed what Fan Jishe and Zhong Xingyin said, which was even more incredible.

    The king of Jin at that time was Chugong of Jin. Chugong of Jin was not very old, only in his twenties.  People of this age are full of ambition and passion!  I usually want to do something earth-shattering.

    It happened that the four ministers of the Jin Dynasty were constraining each other, and the words of the king were not as prestigious as the words of any of the four ministers.  The most detestable thing for Jin Chugong is that instead of getting stronger over the years, the imperial office has become increasingly weak.  The reason for this is that the four ministers have become vampires in the official body, just like when they attacked Zheng Guo.  Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie sent out troops together, but the army was not entirely composed of soldiers from Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie, but also a small number of official soldiers.

    In addition, everything is the big head.  Well, we defeated Zheng Guo and captured seven cities. It stands to reason that even if there is no credit for the official work, there is still hard work.  Not to mention that every time Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie let Gongfu take the lead, the Gongfu soldiers suffered more casualties than the private soldiers under Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie.  From seven cities, it is not too much to allocate one to the official. Even if you are stingy, you should allocate some land to the official.

    But in reality, Zhiyao and Zhao Kangxie swallowed all the juice, and the office had to wipe their butts.  What ass?  So don¡¯t we need to provide supplies to the government soldiers who were killed and disabled in battle?  Don¡¯t those civilians who were conscripted to transport food need to eat?  Besides, Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie won the battle, so what, should we get some reward?

    It was nothing at first. Duke Jin had just ascended the throne and was not familiar with any situation. Naturally, he had to keep a low profile. He had to hold his nose and admit it.  But the appearance of the four ministers was too ugly. Jin Chugong pinched his nose and admitted it, but he was not convinced, and he became more and more resentful towards the four ministers.  Especially as Jin Chugong grew up year by year, he became more and more independent, and the power he could control was no more than when he first ascended the throne.  But the four ministers, especially Zhiyao, have no awareness of this. It is still me who eats the meat, and you watch from the side.  How can one not feel resentful when Jin goes out to the public?  This has also led to the current conflict between the public office and the four ministers to be as sharp as a needle. The only thing missing is a bit of fire to detonate the gunpowder.  Fan Jishe and Bank of China jointly announced this time,Didn't it just give Jin the opportunity to go out and make trouble?  So Jin Chugong, who was very angry, got angry.  After hearing the news, I immediately eagerly looked forward to the court meeting that happens every three days.

    Three days later, it was time for the court meeting. The first thing that Jin Chugong did after going to court was not to ask what happened, but to ask the chamberlain around him to read out the joint statement between Fan Jishe and Zhongxing Yin.

    After the chamberlain finished reading, Duke Chu of Jin immediately praised Fan Jishe and Zhong Xingyin's articles for how well they were written.  Of course, no one would be so stupid as to think that Jin Chugong really appreciated the articles of Fan Jishe and Zhong Xingyin.  Duke Chu of Jin was obviously a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. He told the four ministers, "Look, brothers, the owners of the fiefdom have come out to speak out. This fiefdom belongs to me."  Should you entrust the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan with the enfeoffment "Yeah! Yeah! You understand!

    How could Si Qing be so willing?  His face immediately turned ugly.  Among them, Zhiyao had the biggest reaction and was also the first one to jump out. Zhiyao raised her head, raised her head and looked at Jin Chugong, and said confidently: "Fan Jishe and Zhongxingzhou violated the laws of Jin.  A person who started civil strife and attacked the Zhao family. Afterwards, when faced with the punishment of the ancestor (Dong Gong of Jin, the father of Duke Chu of Jin), he resisted and refused to obey, and finally sent troops to attack the capital. Such people, do you think they are such a person?  Is what you said useful?"

    Zhiyao is indeed known for his resourcefulness and promiscuity. Just when he took a breath, he thought of a rebuttal and continued: "The former king condemned these two people as rebellious officials and traitors, and now the Lord believes their words and puts the former king in  Where is it? In the future, how can your lord face your ancestors when you are in the underworld? This is unjust and unfilial, my lord!"

    Zhiyao¡¯s words are so poisonous!  Although the Spring and Autumn Period was not as powerful as the Qingming Dynasty in later generations, the word "filial piety" was regarded as quite important, but not to that extent. In particular, the ancients valued ghosts and gods, so they paid special attention to sacrifices. In this environment, there was still such a  A rule that everyone agrees on is that if the country is destroyed, the sacrifice will not be destroyed. Strictly speaking, not only the country will be destroyed, but even if a large family is destroyed, its sacrifice will not be destroyed.

    Even with the change of dynasties, this rule has not changed.  King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, but he did not kill all the sons of King Zhou of Shang.  Instead, Wu Geng, one of the more outstanding sons of King Zhou of Shang, came to worship his ancestors on behalf of King Zhou of Shang, and made him the king of China.  In the eyes of modern people, this is too silly, right?  As the saying goes, you must remove the root of the grass, but you still give him a fiefdom!

    In fact, King Wu of Zhou was not stupid and sent one of his younger brothers to monitor Wu Geng.  But someone else said, wouldn't it be more convenient to use a knife with a click? Isn't it necessary to go to such trouble?  But this is the custom of the times. Although King Wu of Zhou was the emperor of the dynasty, he could not change this convention.

    Later, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou was a thief. After King Wu of Zhou died, he wanted to become the king himself, so he joined forces with Wu Geng to cause rebellion.

    This rebellion failed in the end and was put down by another brother of King Wu of Zhou, the famous Duke of Zhou.  Logically speaking, at this time, the sacrifice has been eliminated, right?

    "I kindly let you go, but you still have the guts to cause trouble. You must be severely punished and exterminated."  In fact, Duke Zhou did not dare to do this. He just used a small trick to not find Wu Geng's brother or son to inherit this 'sacrifice'.  Instead, Wei Ziqi, who had an affair with the Zhou Dynasty and was the founding king of the Song Dynasty, came to inherit the sacrifices of the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty.

    Some people also say that it was the early Spring and Autumn Period, so this doesn¡¯t apply anymore, right?  No!  The same applies.  When Bao Mu of Qi State rebelled and killed Duke Hun of Qi, he was finally defeated by Tian Chang who was well prepared.  The Bao family suffered heavy losses, but Tian Chang did not destroy the Bao family. Instead, he established Bao Mu's son Bao Xi as the Bao family to inherit the Bao family's sacrifices.

    You see, after killing someone else's father, he has to eagerly appoint someone else's son to join the clan and inherit the task of worshiping Bao Shuya and other ancestors.  It can be seen that the atmosphere at that time, if Zhiyao's accusation was normal, Jin Chugong would be speechless. After a long time, he could not say a word.

    "But Mr. Jin Chu is not as smart as Zhiyao, but he hasn't done anything in the past three days, just waiting for time.  He naturally knew that Zhiyao's group was not easy to deal with, so he had already asked his advisers to work with him to deduce what might happen in the court.  What would Zhi Yao and the others say, and how would he refute it? Therefore, although Zhi Yao's words were sharp, Jin Chugong was not afraid of Zhi Yao.

    I saw Jin Chuzheng sitting in danger and said solemnly: "What does it mean to be in power! How can you only look at the disadvantages of the other party and not the benefits of the other party? Besides, Fan Jishe and Zhongxing Yin are also from the Fan family.  The owner of Zhongxing¡¯s fiefdom!¡±

    "My lord, you must know that these two are traitors!" Wei Ju, the leader of the Wei clan, said unhurriedly.

    Seeing that Wei Ju also expressed his stance, Zhi Yao became even more arrogant, raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be talking to Jin Chugong and said: "Boy, as a Zhi family, you may still be arrogant, but with the addition of WeiWhere is your family?  You are still young!  Take it easy!  "

    Zhiyao¡¯s eyes were like needles piercing Jin Chugong¡¯s self-esteem. Jin Chugong was still a little worried, but he immediately became firm.  He responded stiffly: "No matter what, these two people are traitors or loyal ministers! At first, the late emperor did not issue an order to reduce his fiefdoms, so now these fiefdoms should belong to these two people.  You have the right to give the fief to anyone!"

    Having said this, Duke Chu of Jin glanced coldly at the ministers below, and then said: "Now that the two of them have promised to give the fiefdom to me, why can't I accept it?"

    "Your Majesty, our four ministers worked so hard to conquer these feudal towns. Your Majesty, by doing this, are you not afraid of chilling the hearts of your subordinates?" Han Hu, the leader of the Han family, could no longer remain silent at this moment. He jumped out and half-moved.  He said threateningly.

    "Lord, please be aware! The country also has its laws. If the Lord violates it, I'm afraid" "Huh! Huh!" Compared to Han Hu, Zhiyao is much more arrogant. Although the second half of the sentence is not  speak out.  But the implication is that if Jin Chugong wants to change these things, don't blame Zhiyao for launching an army.

    Although Jin Chugong is young and energetic, he also knows that he cannot be alone, so he did not act too tough this time.  Instead, he said with a somewhat conciliatory tone: "What Han Qing said makes sense, so I decided that half of the original fiefdoms of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family would be returned to the official office. The other half of the fiefdoms would be taken out according to the  At the beginning, each minister was assigned according to the amount of his strength. Especially Zhao Qing, thanks to Zhao Qing, he contained the private soldiers of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family.

    Jin's words after leaving the palace were full of sowing discord. He probably saw that Zhao Wuxie had been silent and thought that Zhao Wuxie and Zhi Yao were not on the right track, so he wanted to take this opportunity to win over Zhao Wuwei.  .

    "It's a pity that Zhao Wuxie didn't speak, not because he agreed with Jin's words.  It's just that Zhao Wuji likes to make decisions before taking action, and he is better at forbearing, so he didn't jump out.  But now he was the only one left among the four ministers, and Zhao Wuxie also stood up to express his position.  "Your Majesty, that's a compliment! It was my late father's credit in the first place, how could I pretend to claim it?"

    Having said this, Zhao Wuxie paused and then said: "As for the matter of re-confessing the old lands of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family, I think it's not very good now, right? The world is in troubled times at the moment, and the Han State wants to destroy the Zheng State and dominate it.  Central Plains. This matter of redistributing fiefs is too troublesome, and I am afraid it gave the Han State an opportunity. Besides, does it have to be the fiefdoms of the official office that are the territory of the Jin State? Could it be that the fiefdoms of the ministers are just  Isn¡¯t it the land of the Jin State? In my opinion, they are all the land of the Jin State. Since they are all the land of the Jin State, why should they be divided so clearly?"

    "Yes! What Zhao Wuxie said is true!" Zhiyao touched the short beard on her chin and said with a smile.  However, he couldn't help but feel a little more afraid of Zhao Wuxie. As the saying goes, a biting dog never barks.  No!  He was silent in the court, and the king thought he could win over him, but he jumped out and stabbed Guo Kan hard.  The words he said were sharper than the words he used to accuse the monarch, this guy!  Be careful in the future!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the palace, after hearing Zhao Wuxie's words, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.  Yihe felt betrayed.  Duke Chu of Jin suddenly stood up and said angrily: "What do you four ministers mean? You are planning to occupy the fiefdoms of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family. Do you want to rebel?"

    "I don't dare!" Zhiyao and the other four ministers, although they did not want to abandon Jin's official duties, they still cared about their reputation as monarchs and ministers.  The four of them still pretended to confess, but it was a pity that there was no trace of sincerity or fear in their tone.  On the contrary, the tone was a bit perfunctory and disdainful, which only made Jin Chugong even more angry.

    No, as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Chugong laughed angrily and said, "Don't you dare? What else do you dare not do? How many fiefs have you occupied that should belong to the public office? Is this what you dare not?"

    Zhiyao jumped out and said: "My lord, your words are really chilling to my heart! There is no such thing as occupying or not occupying. Back then, I fought with every inch of land, blood, and swords! Now my lord,  You listened to the words of two traitors and traitors, but you want to seize the spoils of war from the heroes. What are you talking about! Are you not as good as those two traitors and traitors?"

    "Your Majesty, in the past hundreds of years, the Jin Kingdom has not been able to seize the titles of meritorious officials just because they listened to the words of traitors and traitors! Your Majesty, please think twice, otherwise the foundation of the Jin Kingdom may be shaken!" Han Hu said in spite of his tone.  Quite respectful, but these words sound like a three-point threat.

    Zhao Wuxie and Wei Ju looked at each other, and they said in unison: "I second my opinion, please think again, my lord!"

    "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" This time, Zhao Wuxie and the others were no longer fighting alone. Most of the doctor pairs in the court followed Zhao Wuxie and Wei Ju.

     Seeing this situation in the court, Jin Chugong was so angry that he was trembling all over. He raised his trembling hand, pointed at the doctors in a circle, and said in a nonchalant manner: "You! You guys! Guys!"  Yes, are you ready to have a baby?  "

    "I don't dare!" After all, the doctors were not as confident as Zhiyao and the others, so they immediately bowed down and apologized.

    But this does not include Zhiyao, Zhiyao is like, bite me!  "" He said leisurely: "My lord, what you said is wrong. How can I force the palace to say it?"  The long sword at his waist was in its scabbard, not moving at all.  On the contrary, the Lord is dictating to the ministers and others, and speaking of it, the Lord is the Lord, the ministers and others are forcing the palace, "Ah!"

    Putting aside other factors, Zhiyao¡¯s mouth is not an ordinary sharp-toothed mouth.  When you curse someone, you don't have to make a draft at all, just throw it out of your stomach and you will be so angry that one Buddha will be born, two Buddhas will ascend to heaven, and three corpse gods will jump.

    "Okay! Very good! Retreat from the court!" Jin Chugong flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and strode away.

    Zhiyao seemed to feel that stimulating Jin to go out on duty was not enough. She turned around and said slowly: "Retreat from the court! Let's all leave quickly! Otherwise, the Lord will say that we are disloyal again!"

    I don¡¯t know if it was because of hearing Zhiyao¡¯s words that Jin Chugong, who was about to leave, suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.  All the doctors couldn't help but turn red, why?  I want to laugh, but I don¡¯t dare to laugh!  (To be continued
