Chapter 141: King Wei is not simple

After such an analysis by King Wei, Peng Zhou felt the complexity of the matter.

gave Peng Zhou the feeling that King Wei was not stupid, nor was he timid and afraid, but helpless. Just like the great Zhou Tianzi of the past dynasties, it is helpless!

History has developed to this point, and it is not ordinary people who can turn the tide! The same goes for it! It's not a generation that can turn the tide!

The Wei State fell to the point where it is today because of the rise of the Qin State and because the Shang Dynasty made changes in the Qin State.

In fact! The rise of the Qin State was also difficult, and it almost ruined Shang Ying's achievements.

Think about it: If Yingsi hadn't continued to follow the path of Shang Ying's reform, then! Shang Ying's years of hard work were in vain. Isn't it? If the Qin State did not follow the path set by the Shang Dynasty, the Qin State would not have been able to rise.

So! Sometimes! History is a certain opportunity, not an inevitability. It's not that after Shang Ying changed the law, the Qin State would definitely be able to become strong. But! Will the next generation be able to keep going? Keep it up?

The fall of Wei began after the rise of Qin in the late period of King Wei Hui, and the reason was the same as that of King Wei Hui.

King Wei Hui had a certain amount of credit in the early days, but! He's not on the right track! He is strong not by his own development, but by plunder. Outcome! It's been strong for a while! But! Because of this, they lost the hearts of the people.

By the time King Wei Hui understood under the persuasion of Zhuangzi, Mencius and others, it was already too late. The Qin State began its path to hegemony and suppressed the Wei State to the death. Outcome! King Wei Hui had no choice but to adopt a strategy of self-preservation and maintained the situation.

Outcome! Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, when it comes to the period of children and grandchildren, it becomes more and more defeated.

And by the time he was the king of Wei, the land forcibly occupied by the Wei State in the early days was almost ceded out. Now that he, the King of Wei, it is difficult to maintain the situation. Because! Comprehensive national strength can no longer go up! The population of Wei has plummeted a lot in the years of war. For a while, you can't grow the population quickly.

The fall of the Zhou Dynasty fell to the point where it is now, that is, because the previous Son of Heaven did not grasp the direction. After the Son of Heaven distributed the land to the princes, he himself lost his land and military power. Outcome! When something happened, he couldn't move the soldiers in the hands of the princes. At last! A struggle for hegemony began among the princes. And the Son of Heaven has no soldiers and no land, so there is only a false name left. Outcome! I relied on the jade seal in my hand to mix and eat.

In fact! The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty have long existed in name only.

But! When the princes compete for hegemony, they need a legal basis, and as a result! continued to retain Zhou Tianzi's false status. With Zhou Tianzi, everything has "laws to follow", and engaging in everything has become legalized.

If it weren't for an alliance between the princes, if it was a heads-up? The big vassal states have long since singled out all the smaller vassal states.

Because of the Alliance! The small princes united against the big princely states, and as a result! If the great princes want to dominate the world, it is impossible.

The big vassal states can't dominate the world, and the small vassal states can't be destroyed, so! The Warring States situation was formed.

Today's King Wei! He wanted to revitalize the Wei State, and he didn't want to be brutal. So! He didn't listen to the words of Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, he didn't want to capture or kill Bai Qi alive, and he didn't want to anger the King of Qin because of this, so he was madly retaliated by the Qin State.

Faced with King Wei's honesty, Peng Zhou was also anxious and frowned.

Sengoku chaos! It's such a mess! To what extent? It's so messy that you can't trust anyone!

Even our own brothers can't believe it, who else can we trust?

But! Although the King of Wei did not believe in his brother Wei Wuji, he believed in Peng Yu. Because! Peng Yu's honesty and trustworthiness he witnessed. And also! He has kept his promise and protected Peng Yu's family.

There is no conflict of interest between him and Peng Yu other than this aspect. So! Peng Yu is worthy of his trust.

Why didn't he believe Wei Wuji? Wei Wuji is still his half-brother? Isn't it? Is it a family?

Because! According to the Zhou system and the ancestral system, Wei Wuji could inherit the throne of Wei.

As long as he dies, with Wei Wuji's prestige and connections in the Wei State, he can inherit the title.

Normally! Kings have innumerable descendants. So! According to the Zhou system: their descendants can inherit the throne.

But! You have all been killed, can others keep your offspring? When they took the throne, they already thought about how to kill your descendants.

Your descendants are all concentrated in the dormitory, and as long as a team of people comes, they can kill the pure light. And then! Finding someone to take responsibility for the dead ghost will not affect his inheritance of the title. Usurpation, rebellion! Rebellion, it's as simple as that.

Who spoke to you of the law in these troubled times? Either Caesar or nothing! The powerful have the final say. What morality? In troubled times, there is no morality. A hard fist is morality, and a hard fist makes sense, and it is the last word.

Not to mention in the Warring States period, but in modern society? Civilization has improved a lot, right? Isn't it just as powerful? What can you do with others?

Reason with them, resist the discussion, and fight the mouth, who is you? People don't know how to laugh at you for being ignorant and incompetent!

History is ultimately moving towards civilization, but! How do the weak behave in the world? How did King Wei deal with the affairs in front of him?

According to Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, it is to drag on for a few days. When Xinyi's army comes, there will be another counter-encirclement, and Bai Qi can be captured alive or killed.

But! Will Bai Qi make you drag? People don't have brains? He told you to stall and wait for the rescuers to come and surround him?

Since people dare to come, they may have been prepared. Maybe before your rescuers arrive, they have already broken through your Wei Palace!

And also! Even if you capture Bai Qi alive or kill him, do you think about the consequences? Will King Qin let you go? Is it strange that people don't retaliate against you?

Imagine! If King Wei is so incompetent! It was impossible for his father to pass on the throne to him.

The ancestral system stipulates that only the son-in-law can inherit the title, but if the son-in-law is incompetent, the title will be abolished. A new concubine was established, and then this "concubine" inherited the title.

In fact! When you are a prince, you usually have a son. Which son is smart and which son is stupid, can't you see it? Isn't it? So! Before the king made a prince, the world knew that you were a prince or not? If you can't, you won't be able to make you prince.

At the beginning, Peng Zhou really underestimated this King of Wei. Outcome! After such an exchange, he in turn admired this King of Wei very much.

People can see the problem more clearly and long-term than Xinling Jun Wei Wuji!

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji looks at the problem much more simply, he can only see the immediate and see the consequences.

King Wei's approach seems timid and disgraceful. And Xinling Jun Wei Wuji's approach can get the support of most people, and there is a feeling of relief.

But! As the king of a country, you can't be rash!

It's not a street fight, it's a fight and a run! It's about thinking about the consequences!
