Chapter 167: Speculation
"That also requires them to have the soil for development!" Bao Hong smiled, "You threw them to Luoyang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how to develop?" The Hongnong Yang family was originally squatting in the capital to guard the emperor, although they had always occupied the high position of the three dukes, and were finally crushed by the princes of the local families. β
"That's not necessarily, it depends on how it develops!" The system smiled, "Do you think that Sima Yi did the powerful Cao Shuang and others at the beginning, laying the foundation for the usurpation of the Sima family later?" β
"Whew!" Bao Hong said disdainfully, "That's Cao Shuang's own pit, and he can't play the treacherous and cunning Sima Yi at all." In other words, He Jin is also a pit goods, so let's not talk about it. But next, Dong Zhuo took Luoyang, with Li Ru and Jia Xu pressing the formation, although I don't know if it will be Boss Cao's turn, but no matter who it is, it will not be easy, Zhou Gong wants to use the method of chicken and egg to gain power, it is impossible. β
Cao Shuang used the strategy of his henchmen He Yan, Deng Yang and Ding Mi to move the Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace. In May, Sima Yi pretended to be sick and did not ask about political affairs.
Cao Shuang and his comrades were also worried that Sima Yi was faking illness. In the winter of the same year, Yin Lisheng of Henan Province wanted to go to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin and went to visit him. Sima Yi deliberately pretended to be old and seriously ill in front of Li Sheng, Li Sheng replied, Cao Shuang believed it and was even more unsuspecting.
The three brothers Cao Fang and Cao Shuang went to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship Emperor Wei Ming. Sima Yi staged a coup d'Γ©tat in Gaopingling in Luoyang, and entered the Yongning Palace to play to the Empress Dowager Guo, who had always been on discord with Cao Shuang, saying that Cao Shuang's brothers had corrupted the national code and abused power for personal gain, so he was asked by the Empress Dowager to depose Cao Shuang.
After Cao Shuang received the impeachment form, he panicked for a moment and didn't dare to tell Cao Fang. So he left the Son of Heaven in the south of Yishui, cut down trees to build antlers, and conscripted thousands of soldiers to defend himself. At the same time, the great Si Nong Huan Fan and the general Sima Luzhi escaped from Luoyang and ran to Gaopingling to meet Cao Shuang. Huan Fan strongly persuaded Cao Shuang to take the emperor to Xuchang, and in the name of the emperor, he called on the whole country to counterattack Sima Yi. Seeing that Cao Shuang had no opinion, he persuaded Cao Xi to use the troops of the Que Nan Battalion and the Captain of Diannong to resist temporarily, and then occupy Xuchang, and said that he could use the identity of Dasi Nong to transport grain and grass for their army. But the Cao Shuang brothers always hesitated
Sima Yi was afraid that Cao Shuang would fight back, so he successively sent Xu Yun, Shangshu Chen Tai, and Cao Shuang's trusted lieutenant Yin Damu to persuade Cao Shuang to give up power, and promised him that he would only hand over the military power and retain the title. Jiang Ji also wrote to Cao Shuang, saying that Sima Yi only wanted to deprive their brothers of their military power, not to harm them, and to keep them rich and noble. Cao Shuang thought about it all night, so he decided to give up resistance, and asked the emperor to depose him, and confessed and surrendered to Sima Yi.
After the Cao Shuang brothers were dismissed, they returned to the mansion as a marquis, and Sima Yi set up a tall building in the fourth corner of Cao Shuang's mansion and ordered people to monitor it day and night. Cao Shuang's brothers were not at ease, so they claimed that they were not well fed and asked Sima Yi for food; After Sima Yi sent food, the Cao Shuang brothers were very happy, thinking that Sima Yi would not be wiped out. But soon after, Huangmen Zhangdang, who had a close relationship with Cao Shuang's brothers, had to confess that Cao Shuang, He Yan and others intended to rebel under Sima Yi's torture. As a result, the Cao Shuang brothers and their cronies were arrested and exterminated together.
When Cao Shuang untied the seal, Yang Zong, the chief bookkeeper, persuaded: "You hold the Son of Heaven hostage and hold great power, do you want to give up these positions and run to Dongshi to be beheaded?" But Cao Shuang didn't listen. Huan Fan also cried: "Cao Zidan, a talented person, gave birth to your group of brothers who are like pigs and cows!" I didn't expect to be wiped out by you today! β
As Bao Hong said, as anyone who is more reliable, he will not put down the chips in his hand so easily and become the fish and meat on other people's knives.
Of course, it is not that there are no other more pitiful ministers, and without considering the impact of world changes, it is a better period to start than how to enter the period, the Wang Yun period, the Li and Guo periods, and so on.
It's too early to say this, it's hard to say how Duke Zhou and the Summoning Guild choose, after all, it's not so easy to take the road of Quanchen. Not to mention anything else, the top priority is to adapt to life in the late Han Dynasty. There are many things in this, and it is not simply said that the ministers can be mixed up.
"However, when it comes to the soil space for development, there is no room for development in the country!" Bao Hong continued to complain, "Do you say that Fan Li and they will also come to a trick of borrowing chickens and laying eggs, usurping the throne of the ministers, and running to Liu Xuan's army to serve, and then slowly ****** Xuan and take down that force?" β
"It's hard to say!" The system smiled, "With Fan Li's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem for ****** to seize power." But on the other hand, I don't know if Sun Jian's side can be aware of these in advance and make a reminder. β
"However, relatively speaking, without Wu Zixu's support, the wise man on Sun Jian's side shouldn't be so powerful, right? Even politicians are not high enough. Although it is absolutely no problem to rely on Sun Wu to command the army, it is not easy to detect Fan Li's tricks! Bao Hong smiled, "Of course, plus it is impossible for Sun Jian to casually expose the fact that he has the summoning prop "The Art of War", even if there is any discovery, there is not enough evidence to convince Liu Xuan." β
"That's their business!" The system smiled, "According to your strategy, Fan Li's development space is actually much larger than that of Zhou Gong!" β
"Yes, if the development is good, they can even take in the Shanyue tribes after seizing Liu Xuan's army, and it should not be impossible to restore the participation of the Yue forces in the chaos in the future!" Bao Hong groaned, "In this way, the impact of this explosion is still very great!" β
"What the hell is the influence!" The system laughed, "That's what it's like anyway." It can be said that the soil for the development of later emperors is the least, and relatively speaking, the various forces of the previous dynasty are likely to be restored. β
"Well, that's true!" Bao Hong nodded, agreeing with the system's statement, "But if you say this, I don't know how the monarchs of the nations will be elected!" β
"Just like the Zhao Gong you just got out, he is the ancestor of the Yan Kingdom, so will the later ministers of the Yan Kingdom recognize him?" Bao Hong continued, "Of course, the other is that those who can lead the country to dominate are more reliable, as for the other monarchs, only the first to appear may have the first mover advantage, but this advantage is actually not very useful. Because generally speaking, everyone sees his performance in his previous life, and once there are signs of pitting, it is estimated that he will be taken down directly! β
The Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons are the five monarchs who were promoted as the leaders of the alliance in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are two theories: the "Historical Records" is: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King of Chuzhuang, Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Xiang of Song; And "Xunzi Wangba" is: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King of Chuzhuang, King Lu of Wu and King Goujian of Yue. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were the seven powerful states of the Warring States Period, namely Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin.
Relatively speaking, in addition to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, there are also large countries such as Yue, Ba, Shu, Song, and Zhongshan. There are still Zheng Guo, Wei Guo, Lu Guo, Teng State, Zou State, Fei State, etc., but their strength and influence are far inferior to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and they can only survive in the cracks of the strong countries, and they are all destroyed by the Seven Heroes in the end.
These can be described as small countries and widows, and there are not many people, and even if some of the people who come into contact with them are born there, they all go to other places to mix.
The most famous case is naturally 'Defending the Country'.
Weiguo, a vassal state surnamed Ji in the Zhou Dynasty of China, the first generation of monarchs was Kang Shufeng, the ninth son of King Wen of Zhou. Weiguo is one of the longest-surviving vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, with a total of 907 years before and after the founding of the country, and 41 monarchs.
Wei Wugong was once strong, and when King Zhou Ping moved east, Wei Wugong sent troops to help Zhou Pingrong.
In 254 BC, it was overthrown by the Wei state, and the Wei territory became a feudal land of the Wei state. In 241 BC, Qin took Puyang and other places to defend the country. In 239 BC, Wei Yuanjun was forced to move to Yewang County, and Wei Guo existed in name only. In 209 BC, during the Qin Dynasty, Wei Junjiao was deposed as a concubine by Qin II, and Wei Guo was completely destroyed.
This is also a thing that people often take out to say, to defend the country to show that the country has not perished during the period of Qin Shi Huang, so Qin Shi Huang did not unify the whole country.
The vassals of the vassal states were called "Jun", and the Weiguo was degraded to Jun before it was destroyed by Wei. The First Emperor even destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and it was only a matter of a small effort to completely eliminate the small Weiguo, but in the end, he always allowed the existence of the Weiguo. Do not infringe. It can be seen that, first, the first emperor paid attention to the influence of public opinion. Second, he is not a purposeless tyrant who does not take things easily with emotion. Xianyang School Palace. The First Emperor attached great importance to cultural construction, and he wanted his empire to be passed on to the next generation was not an empire ruled by a group of illiterates, but a civilized country with extremely prosperous culture. The construction of Xianyang School Palace is to compete with the highly prestigious Qi State Jixia School Palace in the Warring States Period.
People believe that this is because there are many virtuous people who defend the country, just like "Yan Zhao Gulai is a generous and sad man", "Wei Di has many gentlemen since ancient times". Confucius traveled around the world for 14 years, including 10 years in the defense of the country, because there are many "gentlemen" who have the same temperament as him. King Wu's younger brother, Ji Za, had traveled extensively and was known for his foresight, and he came to the conclusion that "the kingdom is safe if there are many gentlemen in Wei." β
In fact, it is also because many of the ministers of the Qin State are from the relationship of Wei Guo, and the Wei Guo itself exists in name only, but it just retains this name. For the sake of the face of LΓΌ Buwei and others, they did not completely destroy the name of the country.
In fact, extinction and abolition should be two concepts, in the late Warring States period, the major powers competed for hegemony, and the defense of the country became weaker and weaker, and in the end, only Puyang City was left. In 242 B.C., Qin placed Dongjun, and in 241 B.C., Qin took Puyang and other places, Wei Yuanjun was forced to move to Yewang, and Wei existed in name only. However, it was not until 209 BC that Wei Junjiao was deposed as a concubine, and Wei Guo was completely destroyed. It should have been deposed by Qin II in 209 BC. In 254 B.C., when Wei took Qin Tao County, by the way, the Wei State attached to Qin was also destroyed, and he may have left a name for Wei Jun, which was only a small feudal monarch with Wei, and Wei was at most "nominal existence" at this time. It is also in this name that Qin II abolished.
But then again, Wei Guo doesn't seem to have any particularly reliable monarchs, and this is also something that can't be helped, it is estimated that even if Wei Guo brushes it out, at most it will be merged into a strong country as soon as possible.
"By the way, speaking of which, the restoration of the Six Kingdoms has already appeared, and the two major forces of Wu and Yue have also brushed out some." Bao Hong continued, "Then it seems that among the five hegemons, there seems to be no one in the Jin Kingdom who has come out!" Jin Kingdom, tsk tsk, this name will not be directly the destiny of heaven, and eventually dominate the world, right? If so, let's just register in advance, shall we? β
"Uneducated!" The system smiled, "According to what you said, hasn't Jiang Qi been out until now?" β
"Why? Didn't there be so many people in the Qi country? Bao Hong wondered.
"But these people all belong to Tian Qi, and there are only one or two people who belong to Jiang Qi at most!" The system smiled, "So if you want to make a clear distinction, it is that Jiang Qi has not appeared many people yet." β
"I said, can you make it clear, I don't really understand what you're talking about!" Bao Hong didn't know why, "You mean to say that just like Tian Qi and Jiang, the Jin Kingdom also has successors like Tian Qi?" β
"Something like wool!" The system smiled, "The successor of the Jin Kingdom directly replaced the country name, okay?" Besides, did I seem to introduce to you the fact that the Qin State had not been able to kill Hanguguan in the early days? It is best that the Jin State is divided, and it still fights with the Qin State in the form of an alliance, defeating the Qin State several times, and finally the alliance breaks down, which gives the Qin State an opportunity! β
"Huh! Seems to be the case! Bao Hong thought about it, and it seemed that the system had mentioned this.
"Like Tian Qi and Jiang, the division of the three Jin families is also a famous time in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which refers to the event that the Jin Kingdom was divided by the Han, Zhao, and Wei families at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period." The system introduced, "In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State was monopolized by the Jin State Han Clan, the Jin State Zhao Clan, the Jin State Wei Clan, the Jin State Zhi Clan, the Jin State Fan Clan, and the Zhongxing Clan. Later, the Zhao clan defeated the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, and the land of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan was divided between the Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhi clans. β
Jin Aigong died, and Jin Yougong ascended the throne. Han, Zhao, and Wei divided the remaining land of the Jin Kingdom, and only Jiang and Quwo were left to the Duke of Yougong of Jin. From then on, Han, Zhao, and Wei were called the Three Jins.
Zhao Huanzi died a year later, and the people of the Zhao family killed his son and welcomed Zhao Huan to the throne as a son for Zhao. Xianzi's son Zhao Ji later succeeded to the throne, that is, Zhao Liehou. Wei Huanzi was succeeded by his grandson Wei Si, Han Kangzi was succeeded by his son Wuzi, and Han Wuzi was succeeded by his son Han Qian. This is the dividing point between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The Jin Kingdom, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, perished, and the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were born, and thus the slave society began to transition to a feudal society, the hegemony was over, and the prelude to the Warring States annexation of the Seven Heroes was opened.
"Cut! There's no use in saying that! Bao Hong said with a smile, "Relatively speaking, although Tian Qi and Jiang Qi have enmity, they should still be able to cooperate in order to maintain the name of Qi State." And here, why would the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei pay attention to the Jin Kingdom! (To be continued.) )
