Chapter 250: Establishing a successor is based on strength, not by virtue
Mi Bazi asked Bai Qi to lead a thousand Qin Ruishi to meet Gongziji. On the other side, they sent people to invite the ambassadors of the six countries, including Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han, who lived in Qin, to enter the palace for a banquet. Zhao made Lou Xuan also included in this invitation. Lou slowly followed the Qin envoy into the council hall and already knew that there would be a strong storm this time. The envoys of the six countries, while watching the Qin dance, while pushing the cup and changing the lamp, you come and go, laughter and laughter. This palace banquet, on the surface, seemed to be happy and full of harmony. Secretly, it is turbulent and hides murderous aura.
Three songs and dances. Mi Bazi waved his hand away from the dancing girl, raised the wine bottle, and asked, "After three years of turmoil in the Qin Kingdom, today, it has finally calmed down. Mi Bazi is a female streamer who does not understand how to govern the country in Anbang. Ladies and gentlemen, what should the future path of the Qin State take? ”
Although the envoys of the Six Kingdoms knew that Mi Bazi was a sword, they couldn't tell the truth openly, and said in unison: "The future path of the Qin State is, of course, the Qin State have the final say. ”
Hearing this, Mi Bazi nodded, and asked thoughtfully, "What if someone interferes in the internal affairs of the Qin State." ”
Qi envoy Tian Gao shouted: "If someone interferes in Qi's internal affairs, that is to be an enemy of Qi." No one in the world dares to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qi State. ”
Chu envoy Zhaoyan also said: "The internal affairs of Chu cannot be interfered with. The world of Chu is decided by Chu State. ”
The envoys of Yan and Zhao naturally understood that Mi Bazi's words were aimed at them. They chose not to answer this question. Han and Wei pretended to be confused and drank by themselves. Seeing that Qi and Chu both said that they didn't want to be interfered with by other countries, Mi Bazi also shouted: "The envoys of Chu and Qi are right. How can you allow others to interfere in the internal affairs of your own country? ”
As if he was out of the matter, Lou Xuan picked up the wine bottle, saluted the envoys of Han, Wei, and Yan, and drank it all with his neck tilted. Mi Bazi glanced at the envoys of the six countries, and finally looked at Lou Zhuan, and asked, "Lou envoy, if someone wants to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs, what will you do?" ”
"Mi Bazi, what are you talking about. I didn't hear clearly. Lou Xuan pretended to be confused and said, "Qin wine is too strong. I've only been drinking a few glasses and I'm already dizzy. ”
Seeing this, the envoys of the other five countries laughed loudly, and they all said that Lou slowed down the amount of alcohol and insulted the reputation of the Zhao people. It is said that the people of Yan Zhao are good at wine. A 10-year-old child can drink a jar. Yan wine and Zhao wine have long been famous wines for the princes of the world. Lou Yan is a Zhao person, how can he be inferior to a ten-year-old child.
Mi Bazi knew that the other party was deliberately pretending to be drunk, and said warmly: "Lou envoy, someone wants to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs, what will you do." ”
"I'm just a little messenger. If the countries want to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs, what can I do? With Zhao Jun and many ministers here, how can I have a part in this kind of thing. Lou slowly burped and said, "We are all small envoys, and we are not qualified to discuss national affairs." Ladies and gentlemen, do you say no? ”
Yan Zhou echoed: "Yes! This is a national matter, and what does it have to do with us. ”
Han and Wei also responded: "That's a good point. We are just messengers, and we are not able to lead the affairs of the country. ”
Mi Bazi originally wanted to force Lou to say that the world of Zhao Guo could not be interfered with by others. She could then take the opportunity to ask: "Why did Zhao State interfere in Qin's internal affairs." However, Lou Shu not only did not follow the words of Mi Bazi, but said that he was soft-spoken and confused. Mi Bazi scolded in his heart: "Cunning fox." ”
In the face of the words of the envoys of Han, Wei, Yan, and Zhao, Mi Bazi was unhappy in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he couldn't see that there was no unhappiness, "The Qin State is in turmoil, and there has been no owner for three years. Now that the civil strife has been settled, the Qin State needs a king. Lou envoy, who do you think can become the king of Qin? ”
Lou Fu naturally understood that this was Mi Bazi testing his tone, and deliberately diverted the topic and said: "Mi Bazi, this kind of national event, how can you ask me." Mi Bazi, if you ask me, you are asking the wrong person. ”
Seeing that the other party cleverly dodged the trap he had set, Mi Bazi tried to stir up a relationship between the six countries, "The first king once told me. Zhao Su Hou Yong, Zhao Jun succeeded to the throne. Gongsun Yan of Wei invited Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan and other countries to destroy the Zhao State with the alliance of funerals. Lou's envoy personally went to greet the funeral division of the five countries. Zhao Jun was able to break the conspiracy of the five kingdoms' funerals, and the envoy of Lou was the most critical person. Can the envoy of Lou be interested in talking about how he led the Zhao army and shocked the funeral division of the Five Kingdoms. ”
Mi Bazi's words were long, and there was no threat at all. But the meaning of the words is also clear. The most feared person in life is to meet someone who hides a knife in his smile. He's obviously friendly to you, and you don't feel the hostility of the other party. However, the other party will always take advantage of your defenselessness and give you a fatal knife from behind. Mi Bazi ostensibly praised Zhao Jun as a young hero, and succeeded to the throne at the age of fifteen, and successfully smashed the funeral plot of the five kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Yan. Secretly, she is stirring up a wedge between the envoys of the six countries. Mi Bazi said in his heart, "Lou Envoy, this is the end of you and me going against you." I'm going to see how you choose to respond. ”
Qi and Chu are big countries, and they listened to the words of Mi Bazi. The envoys of Qi and Chu had pale faces. As long as the envoy Lou said something that would damage the reputation of Qi and Chu Wei, they would definitely find him desperately. Although the envoys of Wei and Yan listened to it, they were not very happy. However, Wei and Yan had good relations with Zhao, and there was no war for decades. Naturally, it will not target the building, which will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Zhao Guopo broke the Five Kingdoms, and he also had a share of the credit of the Koreans. Among the envoys from the six countries, the Korean envoy was the happiest.
"It's hard to look back on. The heroes don't mention the courage of the year. Lou slowly saw that Mi Bazi was pressing step by step, and he couldn't retreat again and again, so he fought back: "Mi Bazi said who should be the king of Qin. Although I am stupid, I also know that since ancient times, kings and kings have been established as heirs, virtuous people, or elders. Ladies and gentlemen, do you say no? ”
'Establish a virtuous and virtuous person', these six words are a heavy scar for Mi Bazi. It is also a few words that Mi Bazi is unwilling to face. Mi Bazi's status is low, and his son is also a vertical son. These six words have nothing to do with her. Lou Zhuan's words were sarcastic about her, her status was humble and low, and she dared to beat the idea of King Qin. What a shame!
"Zhao Envoy is right. The reason why Zhou Gong was a great saint. It is because he has formulated the rites and pleasures. Qi envoy Tian Gao answered: "The Duke of Zhou formulated the primogeniture inheritance system, just to prevent the children of the royal family from killing each other in order to compete for the throne. The Hu people are people who advocate brave martial arts because they do not have the primogeniture inheritance system. Therefore, for the sake of the big position, they kill each other and waste their strength. The Hu people did not have a strong cohesion, but they were prone to frequent troubles. ”
Chu envoy Zhaoyan also said: "Yes! The primogeniture system ensures the normal operation of the country. It also avoided the princes from making a big move for the throne. If King Wu of Qin had an heir, there would not be a chaotic situation in which the princes competed with each other. ”
"The father dies and the son succeeds, supplemented by the brother and the brother. This is the royal succession system of Shang. The sons of the previous kings are eligible to inherit the throne. Wei envoy also said: "Since Zhongding, the abolition of the Shi has changed the sons. The princes fought frequently for the throne. Shang was unjust in the country, and there were constant external worries, which lasted for nine generations. By the time Zhou replaced Shang, there was still infighting within the dynasty. It is not easy to survive in the country for more than 400 years. ”
Yan envoys saw that Qi and Chu were extremely proud of the primogeniture inheritance system established by their ancestors, "The ancestors established the Zhou State, and in view of the shortcomings of the inheritance system of the previous dynasty, they formulated etiquette and music to educate everyone. The inheritance of the eldest son, supplemented by the virtuous and the long, replaces the succession system of the father and the son of the previous dynasty, and the inheritance system of the elder brother and the younger brother. The country of Zhou was founded and the country has been in power for hundreds of years. ”
"The ancestors formulated rituals and implemented the primogeniture system. It effectively avoided the chaos caused by the struggle for power and throne between the brothers within the princes, thus maintaining the majesty of royal power and social stability. Han envoy Han Yan also said: "As the saying goes, the establishment of a son is not a virtuous one, and the establishment of a son is not a long one." ”
"Establish a son to be long and not virtuous, and to establish a son to be noble but not to be long." Lou Xuan deliberately raised his voice and asked, "What does this sentence mean?" There is an ambassador who is willing to explain to me, a crude person. ”
"Zhao Envoy, I'll answer for you." Wei replied: "Simply put, it is a pyramid. At the top is the Son of Heaven, below are the princes, then down are the doctors, then down are the scholars, and at the bottom are the slaves. Property and status are passed down from generation to generation, and the hereditary system is implemented. Its successor must be the eldest son of the wife. ”
Lou asked slowly: "What should I do if my wife has no children?" ”
The envoy replied: "If the wife has no children, then the eldest son with the most noble status among the concubines." ”
The Wei envoy added: "If the eldest son of the concubine is incompetent, if it is the king, it is possible to lose the country." If it is an ordinary family, it is possible to lose. Therefore, the choice of concubines must be meritocracy. ”
"Listening to your words, I can be taught." Lou saw that Mi Bazi was angry but couldn't attack, and asked: "Mi Bazi, with the primogeniture inheritance system, who is the king of Qin State, don't I need to say!" ”
Mi Bazi originally wanted Lou to slow into the trap he had set. However, Lou Xuan skillfully changed the topic and used a primogeniture inheritance system to put her in a passive situation. Lou slowly refused to give in, and in front of the envoys, he asked Mi Bazi to answer who should be the king of the Qin State.
Mi Bazi is looking for trouble for himself and can't complain about others. The ministers of the Qin State were already a little flustered, but Mi Bazi was still calm, and asked with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Rules are dead, and people are alive." Can't the concubine change his fate and become the king and the king? ”
Lou slowly scolded: "A concubine is a concubine." No matter how hard you try, you can't change your identity as a concubine and your fate as a concubine. If the concubine doesn't know how to keep his duty, tries to change his fate, and plots for the throne, the world will not be in chaos. ”
Yan Envoy catered to him: "It's not just chaos, it's just a big river flooding." If the concubine relies on his own ability, complains about the injustice of heaven and earth, and rebels against his fate another day. For the sake of the throne, the noble people were slaughtered. What is the difference between them and barbarians, who worship heroes and advocate force? ”
Wei Si also said: "Rules are rules, how can you say that you can change them." There are no rules, what kind of system to become, how to lead the people of the world. There is nothing wrong with primogeniture, which has been inherited for hundreds of years. How can they be tampered with at will because of their own selfish desires and ambitions? ”
"It's okay that the concubine has the ability. At least that concubine can still be admired. He will conquer his opponents with his own meritocracy, not by force. Lou Xuan sarcastically said: "I'm afraid that the prince's mother is humble and low." The prince is not the eldest son, and he has no ability. It is because of his mother's love that he abolished the elder and the young, and disrupted the family and the country. ”
"That's it, that's it." Qi envoy also said: "Establish a son with a long term and not be virtuous, and establish a son with a noble son rather than a long one." This order cannot be messed up. ”
Lou slowly saw that Mi Bazi wanted to speak several times and stopped, and he was already annoyed and angry, and shouted: "Mi Bazi, I didn't say anything about you." ”
Listening to these words, Mi Bazi was like a sharp blade inserting into her heart. Mi Bazi gritted his teeth, calmed the anger in his heart, and a charming smile hung on the corner of his lips, "Whoever stands, who doesn't." It is up to other countries to decide. ”
Lou Shu was the first to object: "That's not good." Once a precedent is set, the princes will follow suit, and the world will not be in chaos. Whoever is set up and who is not set up must conform to the etiquette system. It is up to the princes of the world to have the final say, how can it be decided by one country? ”
Mi Bazi was furious and asked, "If you say no." ”
"Defend the right path and crusade against rebellion. It is the responsibility of the people of the world. Lou Xuan's eyes exuded a murderous aura and said: "The order of the world needs to be maintained and obeyed by all of us. Mi Bazi, it's not that you say who you want to support, you can support whomever you want. Mi Bazi wants to go against the sky, and insists on doing so. Even if I give with my life, I will maintain the right path. ”
Yan, Han, and Wei said in unison: "What Zhao Envoy means is also what we mean. ”
The Qi envoy was also afraid that Mi Bazi would break the rules, and shouted: "Dare someone ignore the etiquette system and break the rules." Kuang supports the right path, and all the princes of the world have an unshirkable responsibility. ”
