Chapter 789: Song Xiang's Choice

(Big chapter, please subscribe!!) )

The implementation of the national policy of recuperation and recuperation in the Wei State was unexpected by the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth, but it was expected.

It can only be said that through this change, the princes once again refreshed their impression of Wei Wuji.

And the people of Wei were also grateful to the monarch for changing the national policy, especially Wei Wuji's remarks in the court that compared the vitality of the people to the expansion of the territory, which made the people even more grateful to him.

With his martial arts in expanding the territory and his benevolent government internally, Wei Wuji's prestige among the Wei military and civilians reached a new level, reaching the highest peak since he took power.

And after the court meeting at the end of the fourth year of the Marquis of Wei, the new officials of the four counties were also arranged.

Three of the four county guards were from the family, and the remaining one was Zhou Yan, Wei Wuji's confidant.

As the king's confidant, Zhou Yan is now sitting in the position of the county guard, and it has to be said that it has caused a small sensation.

Among the three county guards from the world, there is Cao Xin's father, Cao Rui, who was promoted from Dasi Nongcheng to the feudal official.

And the four county lieutenants, Wei Wuji is also a minister of his cronies who was transferred in the army, and for him, the military power must be in his own hands.

What I want to say here is that although the country was annexed to Tang County, the Xiao State Office was preserved and avoided the miserable situation of other perished princes.

All the national policies were arranged, and as time passed, they were implemented, and the Wei State gained peace.

And the state of Chu, which had only succeeded in the coup, also chose to recuperate at this time, like the state of Wei.

As a result, the whole world was strangely calm down at this time, almost a world away from the previous scuffle.

Soon, two years passed for the family, and the world was as calm as before.

On the third day of the third month of the sixth year of the Marquis of Wei, the capital of the Song Kingdom, in the Taimiao.

As the ruler of the Song State, Song Xiang convened the old and young of the public office to prepare for a meeting related to the survival of the Song State at the main hall where the ancestors were worshiped on weekdays.

As the head of the Song State Office, Song Bin frowned at this time, secretly guessing that something big would happen.

He was very clear about the behavior of the monarch Song Xiang, although the outside world was not ashamed to flatter the Wei State, but Song Bin knew that the monarch was all for the preservation of the Song State.

As for Song Xiang's ability, Song Bin is also very recognized as an uncle, if this monarch is in charge of a great country, he may not be able to establish a meritorious career in this era.

But these are just imaginations, the Song Kingdom is a weak prince, and can only survive in the cracks.

After worshipping the ancestors of the Song Kingdom, Song Xiang turned around and faced his people.

"I called you here today, because I have something important to discuss with you!" Song Xiang spoke very solemnly at this time, and his majestic appearance was very different from that in front of Wei Wuji.

But everyone in the public office is not surprised by this, because in the Song Kingdom, the monarch Song Xiang is the most noble person, and everyone is his courtier.

No one interjected, so Song Xiang continued: "Since the invasion of the Rong people and the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the princes have been overturned, and the great powers have been respected......"

"We and other small countries can only rely on the left and right, and only by relying on big countries can they survive, which can be described as extremely humiliating!"

Speaking of this, Song Xiang said even more sadly: "And now, the battle between the princes and the great powers is becoming more and more intense, that is, it is difficult for us and other countries to survive!" ”

Over the years, it is not uncommon for vassal states to fall, but they are all small third-rate viscount states like Xiao Guo Xu State, and the Earl vassal states have not been destroyed.

But in the past two years, the Earl vassal states have not only been destroyed, but also destroyed several in succession, and all of them have been destroyed in the hands of the Wei people.

And the Song State is just next to the tiger of the Wei State, although the Wei people have settled down a little in the past two years, Song Xiang knows that Wei Wuji's gentleness and stability mean that the Wei State will set off greater storms.

Therefore, as the monarch of the Song Kingdom, Song Xiang felt that he had the responsibility to protect the Song Kingdom, and he was even more responsible to protect the Song State Office.

The people of the public family listened quietly, in fact, Song Xiang did not need to tell it, and they were all aware of the collapse of the current situation.

After the armistice of the Wei army in Zhengdi, the military confrontation with the Qi state never ended.

Zhengdi, Ludi, as well as Jianxing County and Longjiang County bordering the Song State, Wei State all had a large number of troops.

Although Wei's opponent still has Qi, a key problem is that Song is on the north bank of the Great River and is naturally subject to Wei, and Qi is beyond the reach of the whip.

Under the watchful eyes of the tens of thousands of troops of the Wei State, everyone present understood in their hearts that the Song State had no qualifications to fight back at all.

Just a few days ago, there was an incident in the Song State where the Wei army crossed the border, which shook the entire court of the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, when Song Xiang said these undesirable realities, everyone in the office felt cold.

"Shangluo two years ago, even Zhou Tianzi, who was the lord of the world, was like a pig and dog in front of Wei Hou, and the temple of dignity was trampled on arbitrarily!"

When he said this, Song Xiang couldn't help but recall the situation at that time, which he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The Son of Heaven sitting on the throne not only lost face in front of Wei Wuji, but even his life was in the hands of others.

"At that time, the entire Shangluo was occupied by the Wei army, as long as the Wei Hou gave an order, the chickens and dogs in Shangluo City could not be left!"

Song Xiang did not talk about these things in detail after returning to China, although everyone present also knew some of them, but after all, they were not comprehensive, so they all listened attentively at this time.

"Zhou Tianzi is okay, think about Tang Guo and Chen Guo, where is their current office?" Song Xiang asked at this time.

Hearing Song Xiang say so much, Song Bin on the side couldn't help it, only to hear him ask: "Your Majesty, the current situation is critical, what should I do in the Song Kingdom to protect the whole country?" ”

Song Xiang said so much just to pave the way for what he wanted to say next, but he was not ready to say it now.

I only heard him say: "Then what do you think you should do in my Song Kingdom to protect the whole country?" ”

This is not so easy to answer, but there are many people present, and there are simple-minded people.

I only heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Troops and martial arts can protect the community!" ”

Song Xiangdang sneered: "Soldiers are practicing martial arts...... Then how many troops does my Song State have to garrison to resist the big powers? ”

"One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand? What is the population of my Song Kingdom? ”

Song Xiang's two questions were not friendly at all, and the person was speechless when asked, and it also made people who also had this idea frustrated.

At this time, someone else proposed: "The Wei State is strong, and my Song State can be attached to the Qi State, so that I can repay the country!" ”

Since it is not possible to be strong on its own, it is reasonable to borrow strength from the outside, and it stands to reason that this method is feasible.

But at this time, Song Xiang sneered and said: "The method is good, but think about it, what is the fate of the three kingdoms of Tang, Zheng and Chen who are attached to Qin Qi!" ”

What else can it be, of course, the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the nation.

Both of these methods were denied, and some people put forward other suggestions later, but they were all useless words and were simply overturned by Song Xiang.

In the end, Song Bin, who was Zongzheng, could only ask again: "These suggestions have all been rejected by the king, I don't know what the king's tricks are!" ”

Song Bin saw that the monarch himself had made up his mind, and no matter what the big guy said, it was just a waste of time.

Song Xiang glanced at everyone and found that the clansmen were also looking at him eagerly, obviously placing all their hopes for the preservation of the Song Kingdom on him.

But at this time, Song Xiang sighed in his heart, because even he didn't know whether the decision he made was correct or not.

After a long time, Song Xiang slowly spoke: "Whoever goes against Wei Guo will not end well...... But do you know the current situation of Xiao Guo at the beginning? ”

The people below were a little impatient, they couldn't wait to hear the way to save the country, so someone immediately replied: "The Xiao State has been destroyed, and its country has been incorporated into the Wei County!" ”

In fact, at this time, Song Bin had almost guessed what the monarch was going to say, and at this time he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

I only heard Song Xiang say: "That's right, Xiao Guo is gone, do you know the current situation of Xiao Guo's office?" ”

At this time, Song Xiang didn't wait for these people to answer, so he continued: "At the beginning, Xiao Guo took the initiative to return to Wei State, and Xiao Ziji even killed Tang Bo with his own hands, so after the destruction of Xiao State, the Xiao State clan was preserved, and he could still enjoy glory and wealth!" ”

"Compared with the Tang State Clan, where the whole clan died, is the Xiao State Clan, who was originally succumbed to the Tang Kingdom, more wise?" Song Xiang asked rhetorically at this time.

By this time, most of the people present understood what the monarch meant.

But among them, there are those who react slowly, and at this time, there are humanitarians: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by saying so much?" ”

Song Xiang was not angry, but explained again: "The widow has decided that my Song State will directly attach to the Wei State in order to ensure the stability of the office!" ”

The so-called internal attachment means that the Song State directly incorporated the country into the Wei State, which is similar to the original Xiao State.

There was a dead silence in the temple, and when the monarch really said this decision, everyone felt uncomfortable.

The Song Kingdom has been in the country for more than 100 years, and it was given to others for nothing? The foundation laid by the ancestors with painstaking efforts was buried in vain?

Everyone was unwilling, so much so that at this time they were full of hostility towards Song Xiang for proposing this idea, even though he was still the monarch of Song State.

After being silent for a while, before Song Xiang could continue to ask, someone in the crowd said angrily: "Your Majesty, this method is absolutely not feasible, and the ancestors and ancestors will not agree!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with many people.

At this time, their minds were so encircled by annoyance that they forgot about the dangerous situation of the Song Kingdom.

And the people of insight in the clan, even if they knew that the monarch's approach was right, did not dare to take the risk of disapproval to fight against the tide of the clansmen at this time.

Seeing this situation, Song Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he had one more task, that is, to convince his clansmen.

But Song Xiang also believes that in the cruel reality, the clansmen will eventually wake up and make the same choice as themselves.

At the same time, Song Xiang also had a sense of urgency, he had to let the dust settle as soon as possible, and the time that Wei gave Song was running out.

At this time, Song Bin next to him asked, "Your Majesty, is this really the right thing to do?" ”

Song Xiang's face was solemn, and he slowly spoke: "Third uncle, the Song Kingdom is destined to be unpreservable, I just want to protect my clansmen like Xiao Ziji now!" ”

Song Bin nodded, although the monarch's method was unacceptable, it was indeed the simplest and most effective way to protect the clansmen.

At this time, Song Bin asked again: "You have a lot of confidence in the Wei State?" ”

This is the wisest sentence asked tonight, Song Xiang decided to attach it to the Wei State, in other words, he also placed a bet on the Wei State, showing that he has great confidence in the Wei State in the battle of the princes.

Song Xiang nodded and replied, "I have more confidence in Wei Hou!" ”
