Chapter 241: Reunion (1)
The next generation of the Shi family, the brothers and sisters of Shi Hui, could not resist the temptation of the family to become a royal family.
Relatively speaking, Shi Hui did not agree with the Shi family's claim to be king.
It's just that Shi Hui's different opinions were almost glared at by the entire family.
Faced with the questioning of his father and uncles, and in the face of the angry eyes of his brothers, Shi Hui asked rhetorically: "Four hundred years ago, Emperor Qin swallowed the tiger**, and the kings who stood side by side with Emperor Qin at that time, what was the result?" β
"When Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, it was at a time when Chu and Han were competing for power. Let's ask, what was the result of those kings who competed with Gaozu for hegemony at that time, and even later surrendered to Gaozu, or those kings who were divided by Gaozu? β
Shi Hui's two questions instantly made the older generation of the Shi family, especially the head of the family, Shi Xie, sober up.
Emperor Qin swallowed the tiger **, and the four seas returned to one, and it was also the time when the six kings died. Even, the princes and grandsons of the six countries were escorted to Xianyang, and those who knelt and licked could still leave a little bit of Miao descendants; The rest of the royal family are all ghosts.
When Chu and Han competed for power, how many princes and kings were there in the world?
But after Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, which of these princes and kings with different surnames had a good end?
Even, Han Gaozu also set "The Alliance of White Horses" for this reason!
These two points alone show that when the world is unified, no matter who is the emperor, there will definitely be no room for kings with different surnames.
As a prince, there is nothing wrong with fighting. Even if you lose in the end, you can still offer your knees to the winner, right?
Although the defeated princes are certainly not to be reused, the family can certainly still be saved.
However, once he became king, even if he wanted to sacrifice his knees after defeat, he would not be accepted.
Everyone understands the truth of this!
I only heard Shihui continue: "Now, Hao Meng has already owned ten states, and it won't take long for the Han world to fall into Hao Meng's hands." Let's ask, when Hao Meng rules the world, can we still be left alone in Jiaozhou? β
"If we don't become kings, we can still become a member of Hao Meng's new dynasty."
"Once our Shi family becomes king in Jiaozhou, we will either fight to the death with Hao Meng, or we will wait for Hao Meng's butcher's knife."
"In the end, our Shi family will inevitably die and the result of the annihilation of the clan!"
β¦β¦
There is still room for the princes who have not been called kings, and even if the princes who are called kings are surrendered, they will eventually be raided and exterminated. Better yet, the Founding Emperor may leave you with one or two distant descendants; If you don't want to see it, the nine clans are all among the Lian.
Those princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty are real examples!
This point, who doesn't understand this with a little foresight?
Now, Hao Meng is far away from unifying the world, and it is only a soak of urine that is the distance, at this time, he is called the king, in addition to fighting Hao Meng to the end, the rest is to live a throne addiction, and then send the whole clan to the butcher's knife for this.
Therefore, after Shi Hui said the reason for opposing the king, the older generation of the Shi family died down.
However, there are a few juniors, and there are still people who are entangled in the matter of being the king, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
"Father, uncle, uncle, there is one more thing, the child thinks it is better to do it sooner rather than later."
Seeing that the elders finally adopted his advice and no longer mentioned the matter of claiming the title of king, Shihui made another suggestion.
"Hao Meng is only one step away from dominating the world, do you elders think that we will get a greater benefit from surrendering to Hao Meng at this time, or will we get a big benefit when we surrender to him after Hao Meng completely sweeps the world?"
Shihui's question, fools know how to choose.
Yes, before the elders could answer, one of Shihui's brothers named Shiheng was the first to reply: "Of course, it is at this time to lose sincerity to Hao Meng, and when Hao Meng opens the country in the future, our Shi family can get the maximum benefit." β
Speaking of this, Shi Heng sighed again: "It's a pity that our Shi family was not the first to follow Hao Meng's start, otherwise it would ......"
Otherwise what?
It is self-evident that the crowd thinks it is self-evident.
β¦β¦
As the most outstanding talent of the Shi family, Shi Hui is not only a strong general, but also has a good IQ.
If he had been born in the Central Plains early, the Central Plains today may not have a place for the emblem of other scholars. It's a pity that their scholars are in Jiaozhou, and many times they are beyond the reach of the Central Plains, so they can only lose their sincerity to the unifiers of the Central Plains at the end of the day.
Besides, Shihui has still witnessed Hao Meng's strength.
The Holy Beast Vermilion Bird of the Flame Mountain, Shi Hui didn't even dare to let out a fart when facing him.
But what about Hao Meng?
With only a few people, they dared to confront the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird, and even threatened the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird to send them five peacocks!
This is the gap in strength and power.
Shihui understood this, and persuaded the family to surrender to Hao Meng with his talents.
Toucheng, to put it bluntly, is speculation.
Since LΓΌ Buwei told the world that strange goods can be lived, speculation has become the norm for businessmen and big families.
The Shi family speculated at this time, just to be able to have a pivotal position in Hao Meng's new dynasty in the future.
In the face of Hao Meng's general trend, since Jiaozhou will have to lose his sincerity to Hao Meng sooner or later, in Shihui's view, it is better to surrender to Hao Meng now than to wait for Hao Meng's soldiers to lose sincerity when he arrives in Jiaozhou.
At this time, they lost their sincerity to Hao Meng, and their scholars were meritorious.
According to the general practice of the founding of the new dynasty, those who surrendered before the founding of the country, their scholars would also be made marquis.
If you wait until Hao Mengbing arrives in Jiaozhou and then loses his sincerity, although it is not a mistake, it will definitely not be meritorious
If so, although their scholars may also be made marquis, they will not be able to enter the elite class.
It must be known that when the country was founded in the early Han Dynasty, there were so many lieges, some of whom were sealed into 10,000 households, and they could also mediate in the center of power. Some people only seal 100 households, and after three generations, they will be unknown, which is a lesson from the past.
β¦β¦
Since it has been decided that before Hao Meng is completely unified, the Shi family will organize an embassy and go to Jinan City to express Hao Meng's sincerity.
It's just that when it came time to form the mission, everyone had disagreements.
According to the meaning of Shi Xie and other elders, his brother Shi Yi led the team, brought one or two less important sons and nephews of the Shi family, and then brought some Lingnan specialties, which formed the mission.
However, Shihui had a different opinion.
Because, Shihui felt that he should lead the team to Jinan City to offer his sincerity to Hao Meng.
"No!" Both Shixie and Shiyi disagreed.
"You are the most outstanding junior of my Shi family, and you are the son of the Jiaozhou Shi family, how can you easily risk your life?"
In Shixie, they wanted to come, and it was okay to lose their sincerity to Hao Meng, but they couldn't be led by Shizi Shihui.
If the team is led by Shi Hui, what if Hao Meng is unreasonable and detains Shi Hui?
This kind of thing has not happened in history!
Shihui explained: "It is precisely because the child is the son of the world that the child should lead the team to Jinan City." β
"In this way, we can show the sincerity of our family."
"Hao Meng is generous, and he won't embarrass the child if he wants to."
"Besides, last summer, the child and the king of Jin still had a relationship."
