Chapter 605: Don't Take the Son of Heaven Seriously
Qi Jun sat upright, although he was high, his face was expressionless.
I saw him looking at the desktop in front of him for a while, and quickly glancing at the ministers below for a while. Looking at him like that, it seems that he doesn't want to look at the ministers, and he doesn't want people to see what he thinks.
In the court, it is divided into three factions, one faction is the main battle, the other faction is the main peace, and the other faction remains neutral.
"Fight! King! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Again! It's not us who take the initiative! This is the alliance of the world, and this is the heaven to destroy the Song Kingdom.
If we don't participate, one of them! It seems that we are not social, and we will be isolated later. Second! We can't get any benefit from that. Third! Not only will we not get any benefits, but the other vassal states will threaten our Qi Kingdom when they become stronger. Fourth! Once the Song Kingdom is destroyed, our western gate will no longer be the weak Song Kingdom. It could be Wei, Chu, Korea, Zhao, or even Qin! King! If the Qin State also came to participate and became our neighbor, it would be even more terrifying!
King! Can you make up your mind? ”
"King! I'm also the main battle! Our Qi country can just take this opportunity to take down Songjia Town, which is the west gate of our Qi country! If it is taken by Korea or Wei, we will have one more strong enemy to the west! King! ”
"I'm against it!"
Seeing that the momentum of the main battle was getting bigger, Tian Ji had to stand up again and said, "Now! The Son of Heaven has not yet issued an edict to destroy the Song Kingdom. Again! Even if the Son of Heaven issued an edict and let us go to crusade against the Song Kingdom, it would only be to abolish the king of the Song Kingdom and set up a new king, and that would not be the destruction of the country.
So! I'm against it! We will not participate in the alliance of the princes of the world, and we will not crusade against the Song Kingdom! I think! The alliance of the princes of the world crusaded against the Song State, it may be someone else's conspiracy! It's a conspiracy between the State of Qin and the State of Chu!
I think? The Qin State may take the opportunity of our crusade against the Song State to recover their lost territory and repeat the Hangu Pass.
Have you thought about it? Why was Hangu Pass important to the Qin state? Hangu Pass is the main road to the east of the Qin State. Under the governance of Qin Xiaogong and Wei Ying, the Qin State gradually became stronger, and it was possible to leave Hanguguan in the east at any time and enter the Central Plains ......"
"Hahaha!"
A military attache surnamed Tian stood up and said with a smile: "Joke! Just rely on him Qin State? Do they still want to enter the Central Plains? You don't want to think about it either? The state of Qin has just improved a little, and its national strength has become stronger. But the state of Qin, Qin Xiaogong's regime is not stable, where does he have the ability to enter the Central Plains. ”
Tian Ji retorted: "Under the governance of Qin Xiaogong and Wei Ying, the strength of the Qin State will only take a few years. In another one or twenty years, twenty or thirty years, if this is the case, it is entirely possible for the Qin State to enter the Central Plains......"
"General Tian?" The military attache of the family surnamed Tian sneered: "After you became a general, you were pampered and afraid of war?" ”
"You?"
"You're talking about, 'In another twenty years, twenty or thirty years,' and more! You yourself just said that that's 'what if'! What if not? At present, the political situation in Qin is unstable, and the forces opposing Wei Ying's reform are very strong. The Wei Ying's reform was fully successful, and the Qin State could be strong. Once it is abandoned halfway, the Qin state will return to its original state.
So! I advocate! War! We can't predict the future! But in front of you! It's our chance! We went west out of Songjia Town and looked at the Song Kingdom! When the time comes! The entire Song Kingdom is under our noses. ”
"I'm also the main battle!"
"I'm also the main battle!"
"I'm against it!"
"I'm against it too!"
"I think! Let's not be impatient for the time being! Watch and see what happens! ”
"I think too! Now it's too early for us to say war or not! One of them! The emperor of the Great Zhou has not yet issued an edict to crusade against the Song State. Second! The princes of the world are behind the scenes to crusade against the Song State, but they have not yet formally formed an alliance.
Again! Even if the princes of the world formed an alliance to jointly crusade against the Song State, they would not necessarily work together. Isn't it? When the time comes, it will be said that it is an alliance, but in fact, it is that each country will reap its own benefits. If that's the case, the league is a joke, isn't it? ”
"Wait and see! Right! I also think it's too early for us to discuss whether to fight or not! ”
Above the court, the main battle, the main peace, and the centrists each hold their own words, regardless of whether they are up or down.
The cause of the incident is still because of the lacquer garden and because of Taoism.
The lacquer garden under Taoist governance killed 30,000 Korean troops, stripped the dead of their clothes, and buried the dead Korean soldiers. He also buried the dead in his own vegetable garden, preparing to plant melons and fruits on it next year.
This news spread all over the world and aroused the indignation of the people of the world, especially the Koreans. In South Korea, especially the families of the deceased, they all have to avenge the deceased. At the instigation of these people, the situation was escalated.
And the princes of the world, especially the vassal states around the Song State, no matter how big or small, decided to crusade against the Song State. So! Under the string of certain people, it was quickly organized. The momentum of the crusade against the Song State was done.
The kings of the surrounding vassal states, who did not want to take this opportunity to destroy the Song Kingdom. Or! Take the opportunity to grab a handful. It is impossible to destroy the Song Kingdom! Because! Without the edict of the Son of Heaven, it would be impossible to destroy the country. But! It can weaken the Song State and make it a vassal state.
A vassal state means that you only have the name of the state, but you do not have the substantive power of the country. You have become a vassal of others, subordinate to others.
Under the influence of the denunciation forces, the princes of various countries organized preparations for war on the one hand, and wrote to the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the other, asking the Son of Heaven to issue an edict and destroy the Song State.
The secret agents planted by Qi in various countries collected and transmitted these messages back through various channels. Today! Qi Jun convened the ministers to discuss this matter.
Our Qi country? What about participating in an alliance that does not participate in the princes and crusading against the Song State? Do we want to write to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and force the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to issue an edict to destroy the Song Kingdom?
When it was time for Qi Jun to speak at the end, Qi Jun straightened up, glanced at the ministers below, and looked at several main characters. Nature! The dignity of a king is only swept away.
The current king of Qi Jun and Qi is different from the king of the past who "didn't fly for three years and didn't sing for three years". In the past! He doesn't care what you say, he just looks at the results, like a bystander, and sees the results that the ministers bring to him in the end. You have the ability to get things done and give you a reward. You don't have the ability to mess things up, I'm sorry! Go and rest!
And the current Qi Jun, that is, the later King Qi Wei, is different. At the critical moment, it is still up to him to make the decision. Everyone's meaning is clear, and that's what it is. The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear! He, a bystander, knows best in his heart what all parties are thinking about the main battle, the main peace, and the presiding neutrality.
"Go to the Son of Heaven and ask for a decree, I think it will be forgiven, right?"
Qi Jun said, and glanced at the ministers below.
Above the court, there was a sudden silence.
"Go to the Son of Heaven to ask for a letter, and we will pay tribute! Isn't it? ”
Seeing that no one was silent, Qi Jun smiled self-deprecatingly and asked again, "Isn't it?" ”
Above the court, someone whispered. Some nodded to each other, others smiled silently.
"Without ten carts of tribute, it shouldn't be in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, right? Hey! This useless son of heaven is just a false name, there is no real name, he is too little? What does he do with birds? Save! ”
