Chapter 392: Contradictions
As a result, the authority of the Son of Heaven was further weakened. Dust? Margin? Textβ Learning β Network
Gradually, some countries began to conquer each other, annexed land, became more and more powerful, and the power of the Son of Heaven was divided, and the countries and the land of Wangji barely maintained a superficial vassal relationship.
Originally, at this point, the demise of Wang Ji was not far away.
But on the contrary, at that time, a Qi country rose, defeated more than a dozen small countries around it in the south and north, annexed a large area of land, and was vigilant and jealous of the surrounding countries.
At this time, Qi Guo felt a sense of crisis.
Therefore, he took the initiative to unite with the Son of Heaven and jointly held a ceremony to worship the heavens, and convened dozens of countries to form an alliance together, successfully resolving the crisis of the Qi country.
Decades later, the State of Qi seemed to have found the secret and made a deal with the Son of Heaven, one side got righteousness, and the other side got stability, so that the Son of Heaven kept Wangji, and the State of Qi became stronger and stronger, becoming the overlord of one side.
Later, the state of Qi was divided and fell apart due to infighting, or it was annexed by neighboring countries, or it survived and was annexed by the later Jin state.
In a sense, the Jin State was established on top of the Qi State, and the western part of the Jin State today, including the Kang State, was once the land of the Qi State.
It's just that, subject to the influence of the times, in that era of information blockage and complex regions, the influence of Qi is only in the surrounding countries, and it can only be regarded as a hegemon, in comparison, Jin is the hegemon of the world.
It is undeniable that if it weren't for Yang Mu's birth and failure to promote the war of the Jin Dynasty, it is likely that in the near future, the Jin Kingdom would dominate the world and create another peaceful world.
Therefore, in Yang Mu's view, whether the world is stable or not is not caused by any country's turmoil, but that the son of heaven who is in charge is too comfortable and has lost control of the world, which makes Li Min suffer and the world falls into the smoke of beacon fire.
Only by reunification can we put an end to this situation of mutual conquest.
Finally, I waited until the sacrificial text was finished.
Yang Mu glanced at the emperors of all countries and found that most of them were also in the fugue.
Hey?
Yang Mu noticed the Empress Ruan Guo and found that she was standing in front of the table, her eyes motionless, looking at the ground quietly, as if her eyes were not focused.
She was in a daze.
Isn't it, still thinking about losing last night?
Yang Mu smiled secretly, he didn't feel a little guilty in his heart.
On the contrary, it is a kind of happiness that succeeds in a scheme.
After all, chastity is very important for a woman, not to mention whether it is possible for the Empress Ruan Guo to conceive his blood and bones, and to say that the residual effect of the "invincible hairpin" is not something she can resist.
Yang Mu, pinching her handle.
I believe that in the next discussion of the alliance, as long as it is not designed to the core interests of Ruan State, she will be able to help herself, especially in the negotiations with Chu State.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the evil of the Jin Kingdom is far from being the only thing, if you talk about crusade, in the past two hundred years, all countries have been fighting endlessly, and the weak eat the strong, not a Jin State doing evil. Today, the lords of the world are here, and they can be called the people who gather the world, and it just so happens that they can discuss how to give a wake-up call to the countries of the world. For more than 400 years, why was the power of the Yang Dynasty bullied by the Jin Kingdom? I want to say today that the great gifts of the countries have accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and the princes are delayed in conquering and seizing land, and they are in a corner of self-security, and they have no responsibility for the world, and they have no thoughts of doing anything for the people of the world! If the countries are not jealous, what is the world? How can the nations sleep soundly in the long run? Ladies and gentlemen, the Jin Kingdom can not be destroyed, but it must be severely punished! Those who are in the same stream as the Jin Kingdom should also be severely punished! Since then, the world has been peaceful! β
After the Son of Heaven Ji Hao finished his sacrifice to the sky, he reprimanded the Jin Kingdom.
Among them, although there are Yang Mu's instructions, there is no Ji Hao's sadness in it.
The right is a vent.
As for its content, whether anyone takes it seriously or not is another matter.
After speaking, Ji Hao got off the altar, sat down on his throne, and motioned for the countries to start discussing.
After the false ceremony was over, the emperors of all countries didn't take this son of heaven very seriously, and they didn't wait for Ji Hao to give him a seat, so the emperors of all countries sat on their stools as if they had nothing to do.
On the table in front of each emperor, there are wine, meat and delicacies.
Including the vassals in the rear, there are also things such as pen and paper.
Ji Hao clapped his hands, and a few waiters took out a roll of maps, flat on the grass in the middle, and said: "Everyone, since it is a discussion of the alliance, there must be a charter, according to the agreement of everyone in the first Cangcheng alliance, all countries that send troops to the front line to participate in the war with more than 100,000 people can get a share of the land, and the rest of the countries that contribute money and grain can also get a share of the treasure." β
"Good, this is indeed the word of the alliance."
"Although my Cao country is far away from Jindi, it is not too much, even if it is exchanged with any country, it is extremely advantageous."
"In the first battle of the Jin Dynasty, the Chu State suffered heavy losses, so it should take the territory first."
"My Wu State has the heart to attack the Jin, although the successor is weak, but it has also sent more than 700,000 troops, and it deserves to get the land."
"It's ridiculous, even Wu Guo is qualified!"
"Wu Guo's rebellion against the alliance is known to the whole world, what kind of face does he have to claim to be the winner?"
"That's right! This is the edict of the Son of Heaven to the world, if Wu Guo wants to confuse right and wrong, he has to ask me first if Mang Guo agrees! β
"I, Yunguo, think that Wu has an unspeakable secret, and in the later stage of the war, I learned that I was lost, so you should be magnanimous."
For a time, the emperors of various countries quarreled and disputed the status of Wu.
Of course, most countries are extremely disgusted with Wu's original betrayal of the alliance, and they also try their best to exclude Wu and become the country that was divided.
However, there are also some countries that support the state of Wu.
Among them, of course, there is the reason why Emperor Wu ran around during this time.
However, there is no shortage of considerations for their own interests.
For example, Yun Guo expressed his support for Wu Guo with an extremely tough attitude.
This is determined by the geographical location of the Yun State, because of the proximity to the Chu State, the Yun State is very willing to see that there is a Wu State that can balance the Chu State in the future, so as not to let the Chu State sweep all the way and pour pressure on the head of the Yun State.
"Please ask the Son of Heaven to adjudicate on this matter!"
Emperor Wu's face was pale, and he respectfully arched his hand to Ji Hao, the son of heaven on the throne.
"This ......"
Ji Hao hesitated, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
From his inner thoughts, he really wanted to put Wu into the ranks of the traitorous alliance.
This is not only because of the hateful behavior of Wu State, but also because Cang Guo has issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven about Wu State's betrayal of the alliance, which is the only remaining power and majesty of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the last thing to maintain his pitiful self-esteem.
However, he knew that the affairs of Wu State were not up to him, and he had to consult the Emperor of Cangguo.
