Chapter 349: The Dissatisfaction of the Chu State
This is indeed a problem.
And it's a serious problem.
Prime Minister Yu was able to directly explain this problem to Ying Kang, which shows his trust in Ying Kang, and also shows that he believes in Ying Kang and has the ability to help him solve this problem.
Ying Kang thought for a while and said, "What Xiang Guo said is extremely true, and this is indeed a problem. However, you have overestimated the abilities of Father Yushi. ”
"I'm overestimating Father Yushi's abilities? Isn't he a secretary of the royal family? If he has a problem with me, what if that country will take me in today? The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yu couldn't help but ask.
"It's true that Father Yu Shi is the secretary of the royal family, but he has not yet reached the level of being able to command the world." Ying Kang said: "Father Yu Shi is no better than Zhong Shanfu back then, Zhong Shanfu has a noble personality and has a high prestige among the nations, and the countries respect Zhong Shanfu himself very much, so he can command the world. On the other hand, Yu Shi's father is not like this, he relied on his personal relationship with today's son to become a secretary. He doesn't have much foundation among the nations, so he's not yet commanding the world. ”
The prime minister of the country thought about it, it is indeed the case!
Since Father Yu Shi doesn't have that ability, why should I fear his revenge?
But after thinking about it, "No, even if Father Yu Shi does not have much prestige among the nations, he is the secretary of the current royal family after all, and he can issue edicts to the nations in the name of the Son of Heaven!" ”
After listening to the prime minister's words, Ying Kang thought that this possibility was not impossible, just with the playful appearance of today's uterus, it was very likely that he would help Yu Shi's father do bad things.
But that's just speculation. So Ying Kang said to the prime minister of the kingdom: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, how can he help Father Yu Shi to persecute the country?" ”
After listening to Ying Kang's words, Prime Minister Yu became even more uneasy, "Didn't you say it too?" When my son is young and playful, what should I do if he is bewitched by Father Yu Shi and harms me? ”
"This?" Ying Kang thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, Xiang Guo really needs to think about where he will go in the future?" But I have a question, why does Xiangguo insist that Father Yu Shi will definitely harm you? What kind of things have you done that can't stand Father Yushi? Besides, Father Yu Shi is already a secretary of the royal family, and there are so many things in the world, where does he have the heart to persecute you? ”
After all, at this time, Father Yu Shi was already a secretary of the royal family, and there were so many things in the world, where did Father Yu Shi have the heart to think of the old prime minister who had some festivals with him?
"I haven't done anything too much to harm Father Yu, but you also know that when Father Yu Shi was still the prince of the Kingdom of Qiu, he often disagreed with the monarch to the left, and I was a firm supporter of the monarch, so this caused some unhappiness between Father Yu and me. In addition, Father Yu Shi is narrow-minded, and when the king was alive, he still had some scruples. Once the monarch is over, he will naturally become the new monarch of the kingdom of Yu, can he not settle the affairs of the year at that time? ”
After listening to the words of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yu, Ying Kang no longer thought about whether Father Yu Shi would harm the old Prime Minister.
As a human being, it is absolute to harm him; Not doing harm is an accident.
Thinking of this, Ying Kang said to Prime Minister Yu Guo: "Since Xiang Guo is so thoughtful, then I will give you a path to choose from." ”
When the prime minister heard this, he said, "Doctor, please speak." ”
"Xiangguo can go to Chu and settle in Danyang and other places, I don't know what Xiangguo thinks?" Ying Kang said.
Chu?
Ying Kang actually let himself go to Chu State?
The prime minister of the State of Yu looked at Ying Kang in surprise when he heard this: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know why the doctor asked me to go to the State of Chu?" Isn't the state of Chu a vassal of the Zhou royal family? ”
Hearing the words of Prime Minister Qiu, Ying Kang couldn't help but want to laugh a little in his heart, thinking that this person in the past really had limitations in his thinking, why couldn't he understand such a simple thing?
So Ying Kang said to the prime minister of the state of Qiu: "Why do I want you to go to the state of Chu, it is because the state of Chu has always been dissatisfied with the royal family of Zhou!" ”
The state of Chu was dissatisfied with the Zhou royal family?
This is the first time that the prime minister of the state of Qiu has heard this, "The state of Chu is dissatisfied with the royal family? How could I not know? ”
This one?
Facing the question of the prime minister of the state of Qiu, Ying Kang was a little stunned at the moment, it turned out that although the state of Chu at this time was dissatisfied with the Zhou royal family, it had not yet been crowned king, and it was still a vassal state under the rule of the Zhou royal family, and it was also a viscount vassal with a very low status.
So Yingkang said to the prime minister of the state of Qiu: "Although on the surface the state of Chu is still a subject state of the royal family, but Xiangguo try to imagine that the ancestor of the Chu people, Feng Xiong, was the fire master of King Wen and once helped the Zhou family extinguish the Shang dynasty. The credit is very high, but the Zhou royal family only rewarded the Chu State with a viscount, can the Chu State be willing? ”
"Well---, there is some truth in what you said, when the crusade against Shang was in the past, the State of Chu did make a lot of contributions, and according to the merits, the royal family gave someone a viscount, which was indeed lower. But why hasn't Chu shown it all these years? The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yu said.
"For hundreds of years, the State of Chu has not told the royal family about the issue of its title, but before that, the royal family was strong and the military was strong, and even if the State of Chu had some opinions, it did not dare to show it openly, so it had to endure it. But now it's different, after the death of the first king, the strength of the royal family has been declining, and after Yu Shi's father became a secretary, he acted recklessly and ignored the royal affairs, which made the status of the royal family even lower, so at this time, the Chu State was originally dissatisfied, so he would not take the royal family's affairs so seriously. There's even a taste of secret resistance in it. Ying Kang said to the prime minister of the country.
Ying Kang knew that the state of Chu after that was too low because of the low title, so he directly threw off the royal family and became the king, but at that time, it was already the year of the Western Weekend, and it was almost time for the state of Chu to be king.
Since the state of Chu dares to be the king, can it still put the royal family so upright?
As long as you don't cause trouble for the royal family, it's already very good, but as for making people respect your royal family's affairs like gods, it's absolutely impossible.
After hearing this, the Prime Minister of the State of Yu stared at Ying Kang, "How do you know these things about the State of Chu?" ”
You must know that the transportation of the Western Zhou Dynasty is not yet developed, and there is absolutely no way to compare the flow of information with today, even if something big happens in the Chu State thousands of miles away, it will be many days before it reaches the royal family of Hojing Zhou.
What's more, the court of Chu at this time was only dissatisfied with the Zhou royal family?
Except for Chu itself, ordinary people will not know.
Ying Kang smiled: "I'm also analyzing, if Xiangguo wants to live, just listen to me, there will be no mistake." ”
Regarding Yingkang's analysis, Prime Minister Qiu was skeptical, but the matter had come to this point, even if he didn't listen to Yingkang's advice, he had nowhere to go, so he said in a heart: "Since the doctor thinks that Chu can go, then I will go to Chu." If I go to the Chu State, if Father Yu Shi still doesn't let me go, I will admit it. ”
Ying Kang said with a smile: "Xiangguo just goes to Chu State, Father Yu Shi doesn't dare to ask someone from Chu State." ”
"Okay---, I'll listen to you." The Prime Minister replied.
