Chapter 35: The Mandate of Heaven (II)
Mr. Lu Zhonglian stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Prince, what Lord Su Dai said just now, the minister agrees. As Lord Su Dai said, the Great Zhou is dead, and there is no Son of Heaven in the world. My Yan country is the concubine of the Ji family, and I am just self-reliant and commanding the world. ”
"However, Prince, it is not appropriate for my Yan Kingdom to be too early in this matter. I often heard the prince say in Liaodi: My Yan country should "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the struggle for hegemony", which should be a national policy and a long-term plan for my Yan country. ”
"Although Zhou Tianzi has been martyred now, but in the six countries of the world, my Yan country has not yet "swept away" a family. If my Yan Kingdom had become self-reliant so early, I am afraid that it would immediately become the common enemy of all the princes in the world. Please think twice. ”
Ji Kang glanced at Mr. Lu Zhonglian, and greatly appreciated Mr. Lu Zhonglian's point of view.
Turning his head to look at Yan Xiangsu's belly, Yaqing Jiangqu, asked:
"Su Xiang, Master Jiangqu, what do you two think about this matter?"
These two can now be said to be their own people.
Needless to say, Jiang Qu has always supported Ji Kang when he was a child.
As for the belly, as Ji Kang often said: "The butt determines the head". It turned out that he was against Ji Kang before, but since Ji Kang married Su Ya, especially after Su Ya became pregnant, Su Kang had no other thoughts in his heart.
What else? Ji Kang is now the Prince of Yan, looking at the body of King Yan Ji Ming, Ji Kang will be the King of Yan sooner or later. And his daughter is Ji Kang's wife, if she gives birth to a boy, she will be the future prince, or even King Yan.
His own Su clan will be an authentic relative in the future. If you don't do anything excessive, as long as the Yan Kingdom always exists, the Su clan will be rich and noble for a long time after all.
Jiang Qu stood up and said to Ji Kangyan:
"Prince, the minister agrees with what Su Dai and Lu Zhonglian just said. First, my Yan Kingdom is indeed a relative of the Zhou family and should be self-reliant; Second, this matter should be postponed, otherwise, as Lord Lu Zhonglian said, my Yan Kingdom will become the common enemy of all princes in the world. ”
His father-in-law, the Xiangguo of Yan State, Su Belly, finally suggested to Ji Kang: "Prince, what the minister said to Su Dai and Lu Zhonglian just now is the same as Lord Jiangqu, and he agrees. ”
"Today, although the Son of Heaven has passed away, the situation in the whole world has not changed. There are Xiongnu and Donghu in the north of our Yan country, and Zhao and Qi are adjacent to each other in the west and south. ”
Now, as far as the minister knows, after the new Shan Yutouman ascended the throne this year, the Xiongnu have begun to annex their northern countries to the north, and the same is true for Donghu. The development direction of both countries is in the north, instead of harassing our Yan country every year as in the past. ”
"Prince, please forgive me here. The Xiongnu and Donghu in the north no longer pose any threat to our Yan country, but the Zhao and Qi countries in the south, as long as they slow down, will still be the great enemies of our Yan country as in the past. ”
"Because, the national policy of these two countries is to develop to the north in order to annex our Yan country. And my Yan Kingdom has already formulated a national policy during the period of the crown prince's grandfather, Yan Zhaoxian, that is, to open up to the east and develop to the south. ”
"When the prince of my Yan Kingdom was the king of Liaocheng, he destroyed Fuyu, Ji and other countries to the east, and set up many counties and counties, so it can be said that the eastward expansion of my Yan Kingdom has been completed. At present, the first thing that my Yan country considers is to develop to the south, which means that it is necessary to chase the Central Plains. ”
"If we want to develop and grow, or even unify the world, we must develop to the south, which happens to be in direct opposition to the national policies and even strategic policies of Zhao and Qi. Sooner or later, there will be a war between our Yan State and Qi and Zhao, and it is inevitable. ”
"Therefore, the minister thinks that my Yan country should now take advantage of the weakness of Zhao and Qi to send troops south to occupy it, which is the most important national strategy of my Yan country today. This is the minister's humble opinion, please ask the prince to see clearly. ”
After that, ignoring the three people present, Lu Zhonglian, Su Dai, and Jiangqu, they looked at him in surprise.
Yan Xiangsu bowed deeply to Ji Kang, then returned to his seat and bowed his head silently.
I know that your crown prince and queen are both from Zhao, but the interests of the country have no selfish interests.
Anyway, I'll tell you my opinion, it's your own business whether you use it or not!
Ji Kang looked at Su Belly's appearance, and his heart was happy.
This millet belly seems to be still obsessed with Zhao Guo!
In Ji Kang's previous life, Yan and Zhao were indeed like this, since the Battle of Changping, the two countries have been fighting for decades. Zhao Guo was committed to his great enemy, Qin State, and beat Yan State to the north, which can be said to be "dizzy".
However, in the name of rescuing Yan, the Qin State continued to invade the cities of the Zhao State. was busy poking Zhao Guo at Zhao Guo's buttocks, and poking Zhao Guo was also "miserable".
When the State of Zhao was destroyed by the State of Qin, the strength of the State of Yan was almost consumed. When Qin Guo saw it, he didn't say that it was an ally with Yan State, and waved his army north to destroy Yan State.
However, it cannot be said that the view of the belly is wrong.
In the current situation, in Ji Kang's view, it is extremely correct.
As a courtier, no matter what you think in your heart, your attitude at this time must be expressed.
That's political correctness!
Ji Kang waited for several important ministers of the court to finish their opinions, then lowered his head and thought about it.
After a while, Ji Kang raised his head and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, what you said just now makes sense. As soon as the Son of Heaven died, the princes of the world had no co-owner from then on. But now is not the time when my Yan Kingdom is known as the Son of Heaven! ”
"If we set ourselves up as the Son of Heaven at this time. Then the princes of the world will regard my Yan Kingdom as an enemy. I, the Yan Kingdom, will soon become the public enemy of all the princes of the world. ”
Ji Kang stood up, came to the map hanging on the wall of the study, and looked at the map of the Central Plains in front of him.
The map of Huaxia is too small now, and it should be a big rooster, at least a big rooster.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now I think of the Zhou Dynasty, and even the previous Xia and Shang dynasties, all of which have gone through hundreds or thousands of years, and God can be said to be quite favored by these three dynasties. However, it is still dead to say that it is dead. ”
Several people here have not yet reacted deeply to this, but Ji Kang knows. In the history of the previous life, since the Xia, Shang, and Zhou, all the later dynasties in China did not have these three dynasties for a long time.
Ji Kang turned around and continued to the few people present:
"But what you said just now is right, my Yan Kingdom is the descendant of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, and I have received a lot of favors from the Zhou Dynasty. We cannot be insensitive to this matter and ignore it. ”
"Now that the Son of Heaven is dead, I will report to my father, and the courtiers of my Yan Kingdom should wear filial piety, and sacrifice the successive sons of heaven of the Zhou Dynasty to the grace of the Zhou Dynasty for the whole Yan Kingdom, which is also what the same clan should do."
As soon as Mr. Su Dai heard Ji Kang's words, he immediately stood up and agreed.
"Prince Shengming, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for nearly 800 years, and there are many legacies in the world. Judging from the information just now, the Qin State forced the Son of Heaven to die for the country, and at that time, Wang Ji Luoyi, the day was like night, thunder bursts, and heavy rain and hail fell from the sky, which was a curse. ”
"I, the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom, sacrificed to the sons of heaven in the Zhou Dynasty, and they will immediately be favored by the people of the world, and they are also destined to return. In the future, my Dayan will unify the world and replace the Zhou Dynasty, and as Zhengshuo, he will definitely be admired by the people of the world. ”
……
After the four important ministers of the Yan Kingdom left, Ji Kang paced back and forth in the study and laughed softly.
"Destiny? But my fate is up to me! ”
Then, go out.
Go to the dormitory where my father lives in the harem.
Three days later.
The ministers of the Yan Dynasty, under the leadership of the crown prince Ji Kang, on the altar outside the city of Jidu, Dai Xiaoyao sacrificed to the sons of heaven of the Zhou Dynasty.
