Chapter 31 Military Academy
Xiong Yuan finally discovered his son's innocent side. The son thinks that brothers can be of the same heart, and he knows very well why the 'widow' can only be the 'widow'. For the sake of royal power, father and son kill each other, brothers kill each other, and the same clan turns against each other, this kind ......of thing is not uncommon not to mention other countries, even the Chu State.
Since the founding of the Zhou dynasty, six out of eighty countries have killed kings, all for royal power. Now those countries that were established at the same time as the King of Chu, the three families are divided into Jin and the Tian clan are in Qi, and only the power of the Yan King is still in the hands of the royal family. The Yan Kingdom is too remote, and the reason why the power of the Chu king has been maintained to this day, has not been divided by the Qing clan, and has not been replaced by a different surname, is because the ancestors took precautions early and restricted a lot.
Xiong Yuan went from warning his son not to kill each other, to worrying that his son would be crippled by his brother. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Who does Jing'er think the county Yin is from?" β
"The child thinks that the county Yin County Gong is my Dachu clan." Xiong Jing had heard some things in the school palace, and he had seen some things himself, so he had this feeling: Fengjun is a public family, and the county Yin is a Qing family. The two were initially balanced and gradually unbalanced.
"Ridiculous." Xiong Yuan shook his head. "The county Yin Zhugong is also mostly a public family. When my Chu State was passed on from the King of Xianwu, the world was in turmoil, and there were many people who killed the king and destroyed the country, and the countries had no time to look south. If the Ao clan, the Xue clan, the Shen Yin clan, the Qu clan, and the Ping clan, the public clan is a general, a Yin, or a county Yin, and its power is for a while, and the wealth is rival the country. When he became the king first, if the Ao clan was already dissatisfied, the king of Zhuang first, if the Ao clan rebelled, the prince Fang fell, and the prince and grandson of Yin Fang of the big county county. β
Xiong Yuan recounted the past of the Chu State. In fact, this country was not fought by the royal family, but by the entire princely family, and the county was set up when King Wu of Chu was established, but it was the people of the clan who were appointed, and the result was naturally that the clan became bigger and the royal power declined. The reason why King Chuzhuang didn't fly for three years and didn't sing for three years was because he was wary of his husband.
"Then when the king mourned first, Wu Qi changed the law, wanting to seize the lord of the king, first mourning the king and then killing Wu Qi, Wu Qi was cunning, and the king was killed by the corpse of the king, and the king died more than 70 families. Sixty years ago, the battle of the sand, forty years ago, the white uprooted, the west was lost, there were only 21 feudal monarchs left, and there were many wild places, and the feudal monarch no longer had the county Yin. β
It is really worthy of the Chu State of 'the inner surname is chosen by the relatives, and the outer surname is chosen by the old', the whole country is the prince and the grandson, the difference is that some can be traced back to the Chu State, such as Ruo Ao, and some are after the grandfather Qingxiang Wang, such as Huang Xie. But it doesn't mean that there are no nobles with different surnames, such as Yin Xianggong of Xiangxian County, who Xiong Jing paid attention to, he is not a prince.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Xiong Jing probably remembered Qin Shihuang, LΓΌ Buwei, Chang Yu, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Fusu, Hu Hai, Xu Fu, Li Mu, and Xiang Yan, most of whom were Qin figures, and other countries only had Li Mu of Zhao and Xiang Yan of Chu; At the end of the Qin Dynasty, during the Chu and Han dynasties, of course, the famous Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Yu Ji, Xiang Zhuang, and finally the Han generals: Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin, Fan Xu, and Lu Pheasant.
Later generations just look at history and never think about it. Now that I am on the scene, I found that there was only one Xiang Yan when the Chu State was destroyed, and when the Qin State was resurrected, there were only Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, and eight thousand Jiangdong disciples. Where did the Duke of Chu go? If it is said that most of the princes of Chu were killed after the fall of the country, and those who survived moved to Xianyang, then why was there only Xiang Yan as a general with a foreign surname when the country was destroyed?
According to the practice of the Chu State, there is no precedent for generals with foreign surnames to lead the army. If it weren't for the omission of the characters known to the later generations, it must have been that the princes of Chu were so weakened that there was no one to lead the army to fight.
"Father, why was the prince able to work together when he was the king of Xianwu, but now he can't?" Thinking of this again, Xiong Jing asked.
This question left Xiong Yuan speechless. If the Ao clan rebelled, there was also the rebellion of Bai Gongsheng. The five sons of the king killed each other, and in the end, the five sons abandoned the fisherman and became the king, which was the king of Chuping. King Ping is deceitful, and because of this, he doesn't believe anyone. The favored minister Fei Wuji falsely accused the prince of conspiring with the prince Fu Wu Hao to rebel, Ping Wang Xinzhi, the prince Jian ran to Zheng, Wu Hao was punished, but the second son escaped from the army.
The crown prince Jianben Zheng Houping King also set up the crown prince Ren, who was the king of Chu Zhao. At this time, Wu was in Wu, helped Wu Wangguang govern the country and reorganize the army, and also invited Sun Wuzi, a military master, to avenge his father. In the tenth year of King Zhao, Wu Shi attacked Chu, and the Chu army was defeated by Baiju, and Wu Shi entered Ying.
After the death of King Chu Zhao, King Hui ascended the throne. Previously, the crown prince had been killed by the Zheng people, and his son Sheng returned to China and was sealed in Baicheng, that is, Bai Gongsheng. In the tenth year of King Hui, because of the Chu State League Zheng, Bai Gongsheng entered Ying, killed Yin Gongzi Shen, and imprisoned King Hui. The matter was defeated, and he hanged himself in the mountains, and his children and grandchildren were scattered. After all this, the old family is no longer believed by the royal family, and the subsequent feudal lords are all new royal families.
Although Xiong Yuan knew about the old kings, it was difficult to sort out the reasons why the princes of the first martial arts were able to work together, but now they can't. Seeing this, Xiong Jing said: "Dare to ask my father, the national disaster is imminent, I don't believe in my brothers, who do you want to believe?" β
"The families and the princes are weak, and there is no one to use." The safety of royal power is one thing, and the national crisis is another. Standing in the position of national disaster, Xiong Yuan finally replied along his son's train of thought, but unfortunately, whether it is the public family or the family (old husband), there is no one available.
"Really?" Xiong Jing doesn't fully understand the situation of the Gong clan and the Shi clan, but judging from the fact that only Xiang Yan was handed down to future generations when he died in the country, maybe there was really no one available.
"That's true." Xiong Yuan nodded. "Together, he regretted defeat, Jingyang hanged himself at the foot of the Purple Mountain, and the generals in the army were martyred. Jingyang died, and there was no one in the country. Zi Xie wanted to be honest, but he was widowed, and he was cunning and became the big Sima. β
"Lian Po?" Of course, Lian Po Xiong Jing, who was guilty of Jing's petition, knew it, but he didn't expect him to almost become the great Sima of the Chu State.
"There are 10,000 people in Zixiemen, Lian Po was Zhao Xiang at the beginning, Zhao Xiaocheng died as king, and the new king was dismissed from his post, and he resisted and went to Wei, lived in Wei for several years, and was not used. Zi Xie welcomed him into Chu, and he wanted to be the general of the indulgence, and the king of Zhao Fuxu. β
"Father, where is Lian Po now?" Xiong Jing is looking forward to one of the four generals of the Warring States, and he may be able to meet one.
"It's quite a rest doorman, and he lives in Ying." Xiong Yuan didn't know that his son admired Lian Po.
"Father, there is no one available in the clan. I watched the Lantai Academy, although I taught people to understand things and etiquette, but I did not learn the art of war and tactics. Since Chu is friendly with Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan, why not invite the warlike warriors of the four countries to enter Chu and set up a military academy in Yingdu. The children of the public clan and the children of the old husband are all enrolled in the school for study? The generals of Zhao can teach cavalry and archery, the generals of Han Wei can teach to defend the city, the generals of our Chu can teach battle, and Lian Po and Kuguanzi can teach generals and strategic ......"
Military academies are, of course, the big killers of this era, and excellent officers are the real backbone of the army. When Xiong Jingzheng was enthusiastically describing how the military academy was, Xiong Yuan interrupted: "Since ancient times, the art of the military family has been a secret that has not been passed on, and most of them are taught by word of mouth. The clan knows the war, and the Chu country is in chaos! β
The father objected, and Xiong Jing hurriedly said: "When the first king of Wu, the clan also knew about the war, was the Chu country in chaos?" β
Xiong Yuan was stunned for a moment and did not answer. Xiong Jing asked again: "Beware of the Gong clan is not as close to the Gong clan, the king's order is given from the heavens, and the throne is passed on from the previous king, who dares to take it?" If someone takes it, the initiator is not afraid of the aftermath? With the names of the countries as teachers, and the sons of the Gong family enter the school as a learner, they will be children and classmates, and they will have brotherhood. In the future, who will dare to do unrighteous deeds when meritorious service is rewarded and guilty is punished?
The luxuriance of a tree is found in the branches, not in the trunk; The strength of a country lies in the princes, not in the lonely family. In the past Jin Dynasty, the Duke punished the sons of the group, and there was the dictatorship of the Six Qing Dynasty and the time when the Jin Dynasty was divided into three. The strong Qin rioted, and the state of Chu was in imminent trouble, and only the pro-Gong clan and the Bang clan could fight with Qin. If not, beware of the clan all day long, stay away from the clan, and the day of defeat is not far away. β
Xiong Yuan's eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, and he seemed to be just pretending to sleep.
What the son said was completely different from the secret transmission of the royal family's mental art that he practiced after becoming the crown prince.
In view of the car ahead, the first thing to watch out for as a king is his brother, although he will not be killed, but he must also be kept away; Then it is necessary to beware of those princes, if the princes gain power, they will definitely rebel and usurp the throne and establish themselves as kings like Ruo Ao; The best way is to encourage the two factions to fight each other and check and balance each other; The people of the country should not be trusted, but if the minister's checks and balances fail and one person is dominant, the people can slander him......
In short, if there is no internal struggle between the princes, the subordinates, and the people, they will unite to restrain the king. Provoke one group to fight another, and after the tragedy, administer justice to the weaker side and help it avenge it, the result is that both sides are weakened, the king will always be dominant, and everyone will praise the king for his wisdom. Although the three factions of Legalism, law, art, and potential, although the change of law in the state of Chu was not successful, the technique of Legalism and the momentum of Legalism, the king of Chu may not learn or use it.
'The son is young and naΓ―ve in his thoughts......; The Son is a holy king, and Heaven will favor him......
Xiong Yuan closed his eyes, two thoughts were fighting in his mind, and no one could convince anyone. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "This matter may have to be discussed with Zixie." He is familiar with Zhao Guo and is quite a guest of his family. β
"Yui." Xiong Jing thought that his father would not agree, but he didn't expect him to let him discuss with Huang Xie.
"Those who are close need to be close, and those who are close to them need to be guarded against." King Chu's lips moved and he said this.
"Thank you for your teaching." Xiong Jing worshipped, "The child only hopes that his father's heart disease can be cured and help his father rejuvenate the Chu Kingdom." β
Xiong Yuan smiled, "Not long after my father entered Huangquan, Chu Guosheji lost to you." β
"The child is young, and I am afraid that the minister will not accept it." Xiong Jing said seriously, "Only when my father is in power, can I eliminate maladministration, carry out reforms, and rejuvenate Dachu, and the society can be forever." Now the child has tried a drug, which may alleviate his father's heart disease. β
As long as they are the descendants of the Chu royal family, they all have heart disease. Legend has it that this is the punishment of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Zhu Rong for Huozheng. For thousands of years, the royal family who died of heart disease did not know how many, and Xiong Yuan was completely indifferent to the medicine his son said. He only said: "It's not my father who is going to malgovern, carry out reforms, and rejuvenate Dachu, it's Jing'er that you want to go to malgovernance, carry out reforms, and rejuvenate Dachu." The matter of the military academy was urged by the father and the king, and the rest of the things were the same, but Jing'er will be the king in the future, and he must be cautious in what he says and does. β
