Chapter 425: The Later King of Song Kang
Pengcheng, the capital of the Song Kingdom, is in a high-walled house. In the secret room, a tall middle-aged man was whispering to a young man who was also tall.
Outside the secret room, a thin old man hunched into the beams of the hallway, his eyes fixed on everything below.
In the corridor, pedestrians come and go freely, and no one knows the secret room of the house and the thin old man hidden on the beam.
"I tell you! If you want to take the throne of king, you have to plan ahead! ”
The middle-aged man's voice was a little stiff, and he took a long time to speak, but he still didn't say anything about the stupid little brother in front of him.
"But he? He's my brother after all, right? "The tall and stupid young man in front of him still can't make a decision.
"Where's my brother? Is he your own brother? He's your half-brother! You! You brain! Alas! I've felt sorry for you for so many years! I asked you to fight for the throne of the king, and I didn't let you learn from the Duke of Qi Huan of the Qi Kingdom, killed my brother's family and ascended to the throne of the Qi Kingdom. I'm letting you rely on your own strength to fight for it! ”
"This, this, this? What's the difference? The tall and silly young man asked.
"What's the difference? Follow the example of your father, 'Dai takes Song', you can do the same? Once you have the power, you control all the power of the Song Kingdom, you can take your place! Isn't it? Didn't you kill your brother's family? Isn't it? The middle-aged man said demagoguously.
This middle-aged man is none other than Dai Daguan, who disappeared from the world, the family of Zhuangzi.
Ever since he was chased and killed by the Taoist protector and rescued by the mysterious master who was hiding behind him, he has been hiding in the home of this tall and stupid young man.
This tall stupid young man was none other than Dai Yan, the younger brother of Song Chengjun, the king of the Song Kingdom at that time. Also known as Song Wang Yan, Song Xian Wang, the surname of the son, the name Yan. The last monarch of the Song State during the Warring States Period, reigned from 328 BC to 286 BC.
Dai Yan is the youngest son of the Dai family who took Song Sicheng Zihan, and there is a big age difference between him and the current monarch Song Juechengjun, almost the same age as his brother's son and nephew. Half-sibling to the current monarch, born to a maid. Because his mother was deeply favored, he made a lot of efforts during Dai's Song Dynasty. So! When the coup was successful, both mother and son received the grace and status they deserved.
Although the later King Kang of Song was a little stupid and had a short temper, he especially listened to his mother's words, his family education was quite good, and he accepted Confucianism. His mother asked him to assist his brother and mix up a hereditary title to keep the generations safe, and he followed.
But? Where can he withstand the persuasion of this brother with ulterior motives.
Under the persuasion of Dai Daguan, he was finally moved.
"Brother, don't talk about it, look at that nephew of yours, who are they? Future! He inherited the throne! Can you accept it? Can he be qualified for the position of king, can he manage the Song Kingdom? ”
When Dai Daguan said this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and continued to bewitch: "At that time, the Song Kingdom that your father has worked so hard to gain will be lost to him!" You saw it too! With your brother's statecraft, he can't maintain the status quo at all! The current Song Kingdom is getting worse and worse! Imagine? Over the decades, the state went into deficit. When your nephew's pustule succeeds to the throne, you say? How long can our Song Kingdom hold out......"
"Smack!" Dai Yan slapped the desk in front of him hard.
The tea set on the desk jumped, and a tea set rolled to the ground.
"Whoa!"
"Dang!"
The tea set is broken! Tea spilled all over the floor!
Dai Daguan was so frightened that he shuddered, but! He quickly calmed down and looked at the silly cousin with his eyes.
"I listen to you! You said! What should I do now? Dai Yan finally couldn't resist the persuasion of his brother, a big official Dai, and agreed.
"War!"
"War?"
"We Song Kingdom! A war is needed! When there is more chaos in the country, we can take advantage of this opportunity to make some capital......
For example, this time! I did it on purpose, I killed the Korean envoys! What is South Korea? As long as we unite with Wei or Qi, we can destroy him. The reason why I want to kill the South Korean envoy is to show our attitude and sever diplomatic relations with South Korea! If we want to expand the land, we need to destroy Korea with the Wei State or the Qi State and the Chu State and divide the land of Korea.
When the strength of our Song Kingdom increases greatly, we can take action against the surrounding small countries. When the time comes, we don't need to ally with Qi, Wei, and Chu, we can take a situation of making peace with Qi, Wei, and Chu on the surface, and secretly, make a surprise attack and swallow up the surrounding small countries. When the time comes, we, the Song Kingdom, will be one of the princes of the Seven Great Powers......"
Dai Daguan is like a fool talking about a dream, and he talks about things quite simply. But! In front of the young Dai Yan's future King Song Kang, in front of this young man who has not yet experienced the world, it seems that things are so simple.
After more than ten days of secret talks, Dai Daguan completely conquered this little cousin. Since Dai Yan made the decision, Dai Daguan has been constantly giving advice to him.
"I'll tell you something that will definitely shock you!" One day, Dai Daguan said mysteriously.
"What shocking good news?" Dai Yan looked at his cousin's serious appearance and became serious.
"Bai Gui, the world's number one businessman, have you heard of it?"
"Bai Gui?" Dai Yan thought for a while and said, "Who in the world doesn't know Bai Gui's name?" Obedient! Heard! ”
"In today's Great Zhou world, among young people, who is the most famous? In the limelight? ”
Dai Yan thought for a while and said, "If you want to say that the most famous, of course, it is the Great Liang of the Qin State who made Wei Ying!" And Pang Juan of Wei, who else? The Chun Yu ...... of Qi
Dai Yan thought about it for a long time, and listed many names.
Dai Daguan shook his head and waved his hand again.
"It's not! No! No! …… They're too old! Youngster! I'm talking about young people, people about your age! ”
"Someone about my age?" Dai Yan shook his head and said, "Hmm! No! I haven't been to the Jixia School Palace in Qi State, I don't know! ”
Dai Daguan said proudly: "I'll tell you! This person is our Song people! And! He's in our Song Kingdom now! ”
"Huh? In our Song country! All right! Then I'm going to visit him! Who? Who is he? Dai Yan sat up straight, looking very concerned.
"He is in our Song Kingdom, in Qiyuan Town, as a town official!"
"Townsman?" Dai Yan asked in surprise: "Such a small official? That? Gotta think of a way to put him in the position of the state! Can't just mention the capital! Can't make him feel like he's too capable! Mention him first, and then suppress his arrogance......"
"Hmm!" Looking at Dai Yan's innocent appearance, Dai Daguan was very satisfied, and he snorted in his heart.
