Chapter 57: The Aftermath
When the brother saw the letter, he said:
The day before yesterday, he received a letter from his brother and the minister of the country, and reprimanded the boy for ignoring the reality of the country and forcibly sending private troops to attack Yanglingjun, so that he had a grudge against the big country. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The Minister of Info said: The Song State is a small country, and it should be cautious in serving a big country, and it must not collide with it strongly. The younger brother disagreed, and was willing to talk to the elder brother.
The state of Chu, the barbarians of the south, is also strong by the law of Huaxia, so that today. Although the country of Chu today has the essence of literature and talent, if Qu Yuan is the one, but his country has no faith, and it is not the same as my Song country, and it will eventually be barbarian. The barbarian is afraid of power but not virtuous, and his good words are not enough to be happy, and his evil words are not enough to be angry. The prime minister said humbly to his king, and bribed his ministers with thick coins, and the law of encircling the upper and lower levels, the ministers really did not dare to second.
When the king of Chuzhuang in Xi, he attacked the Song Dynasty with a strong army of 5,000 times, besieged the capital of the country in September, and the son was eaten in Suiyang City, and the remains were cooked. Hua Yuan rose up at night to enter the big tent of the Chu army, captured the Chu State and ordered Yin Zi to make an alliance under the city, and the Chu army went. This Chu State made Yin Zi fear the might of Huayuan, the army of Chu was afraid of the might of the Song people, and the non-Chu people liked the words of Huayuan.
Today, the Emperor of Chu thought that my Song people were easy to deceive, so he wantonly set troops in Fengyi. This Yangling Jun Liang sword in front, and Chu State Fengjun coveted the eastern border of Song in the back, at this time, Song State is actually in danger! The younger brother then took up Fengyi's private soldiers, fought in Fengyi, Yanglingjun was defeated, and the feudal monarchs of Chu were all shocked. The younger brother privately designed and bribed Chu Yin with 10,000 gold, and then killed Yang Lingjun. Since Yanglingjun is dead, the feudal monarch of the Chu State should know that my Song State is not easy to deceive, so I will not be in danger of the Chu army plundering the eastern border of the Song State.
The Song State is the Song State of the elder brother, and it is also the Song State of the younger brother. The Song Kingdom is to Ziyan, just like the earth is to the wood, and the fish is to the water. If the wood is lost and the fish have no water, can they survive? The younger brother is the elder brother, and the heart of the Song Kingdom is sincere, which can show the sun and the moon. The minister reprimanded the ministers and brothers for the sake of Fengyi's own interests and the interests of the Song Kingdom, and the ministers and brothers really didn't dare to accept it!
I wish my brother would see it!
The disciples respected.
Suiyang, Zixi finished reading Dai Yan's love letter, and also sighed. It was indeed the fault of Ziyan, he thought silently in his heart. Although Ziyan is the lord of Fengyi, he is a big pedestrian in the Song Kingdom, if there is any crisis in the Song Kingdom, he will not get anything good, and it is too much to blame him for abolishing the public for personal reasons.
Then he summoned the national minister Le Cheng and said to Le Cheng: "National minister, you accuse Ziyan of abolishing the public for personal reasons, I think it's still too much. Ziyan is also my younger brother, the son of our Song Kingdom, he is connected with the fate of the Song Kingdom, if there is anything to the Song Kingdom, he will not gain any benefits. I think he should be my Song Guoda pedestrian, and there is no problem. There is no need to say anything more about the resignation of the prime minister from his post of a great person. β
Le Cheng's face was speechless, since the monarch was so upright, it was useless for him to say anything, so he had to obey his fate.
Speaking of which, Zixi is so easy to believe what Dai Yan said, not only because Ziyan is his younger brother, but also because it is related to the system of aristocratic rule in the Song Kingdom. In the Song Kingdom, because the nobility was hereditary, the interests of the state and the interests of the nobility were the same. Therefore, in general, no nobleman is willing to harm the interests of his country.
After Le Cheng left the monarch, he privately went to Zixi's mastermind, Da Si Kou Hua Rong, and he said to Hua Rong: "Si Kou said that my Song State is between the big countries, and I should humble myself to serve the national policy of strengthening the country, and I agree with it very much. And the king is now gullible in Ziyan's words, and let Ziyan support Chu to attack Qi, and offend Yu Qiang Qi first; Then he turned a blind eye to Ziyan's wanton war with the Chu State. The current national policy of our Song Kingdom has changed so much, which has put my Song Kingdom in danger. I thought that if Ziyan continued to be in charge of the diplomacy of the Song Kingdom, my Song Kingdom would die in his hands sooner or later! β
Hua Rong was also a little surprised to see that the minister of state, who had always been not very good with him, also began to support his proposal, but then he thought of something. He said to Le Cheng: "What the Minister of State said is very true, Ziyan is still too young after all, and he is indeed a little rash when he is in charge of a country's diplomacy. However, not to mention that the king has a lot of trust in him, the national policy of secretly supporting the Chu State to launch a war against the Qi State has also been thoroughly implemented. If Ziyan is removed from the position of Daxingren now and replaced by someone else in charge of Song State diplomacy, on the eve of this Qi and Chu war, it is very likely to arouse the suspicion of Chu State, so that my Song State may really offend Chu State. Therefore, although the words of the Prime Minister are reasonable, now is not the right time after all. β
Le Cheng listened to Hua Rong's words and knew what he meant, and he really understood that now was not the best time to deal with Ziyan, so he took his leave.
To say that Ziyan would use his own selfish interests without regard for the interests of the Song Kingdom, Le Cheng himself would not believe it. But why did he spend so much effort to deal with Ziyan? This is still related to the battlefield information sent to him by Le Busheng on the front line of Fengyi.
1,000 people defeated the Chu army with 5,000 waiting for it head-on, and the strength of the Fengyi army completely shocked Le Cheng. You must know that Le Cheng was able to become the Xiangguo of the Song Kingdom, which is of course related to the power of the Le family in the Song Kingdom. Le's strength in the Song Kingdom and the royal family can barely reach a balance, plus the Le's has always had a good reputation in China, so the royal family can tolerate the existence of the Le's.
However, after Le Cheng saw the situation of the Battle of Fengyi, his heart began to be unsettled. It has only been two years since Zixi released Zi Yanwai and brought back such a powerful army, which has actually broken the balance between the Huang clan and the Le clan. If Zixi really had the heart to deal with him, it was very likely that the Le family would be defeated and decline in the Song Kingdom!
Therefore, the newly rising Ziyan has become a thorn in his side, and he must suppress it!
Dai Yan had no idea that his victory over Yangling Jun had aroused the jealousy of the number two powerful person in the Song State, and he was now worried about the arrival of the envoy of the Qi State.
"Childe, you should know that the people of Chu are tigers and wolves, which is not credible. I am the monarch of the country, the ministers are virtuous, and the country is strong. As a great pedestrian of the Song Kingdom, if Gongzi can lead the Song Kingdom to defect to my Qi country, my Qi country will definitely be grateful for Gongzi's kindness! As soon as the messenger came, he persuaded Dai Yan.
Speaking of which, since Zhang Chou was reused by the King of Qi for lobbying Lu Jun to betray Chu neutrality with a sharp mouth, the "Qi Piao" wandering in Linzi were really excited. Now that the war between Qi and Chu is about to break out, and Chu is blatantly stationed on the land of Song, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that although this Song State is openly neutral, it is secretly on the side of Chu.
It was only at this time that the Qi State truly understood the importance of the Song State's superior position. And after these pretentious "Qi Piao" saw Zhang Chou's success, some pretentious guys also wanted to emulate Zhang Chou's successful way, and some people directly came to persuade Dai Yan to defect to Qi now.
However, the level of this lobbying is really too bad, a qualified Zonghengjia is all interest, you don't even say this and want me to defect to the Qi country? Sample, too young! Dai Yan directly made a conclusion in his heart about the incompetence of this envoy of Qi State.
Although this envoy of the Qi State is incompetent, it is really difficult to deal with him. Dai Yan saw from what he observed that since the army of Chu was stationed in the eastern part of the Song State, the State of Qi did not show weakness, and also let the army enter Xue Yi and Xiapi, and now there have been many small-scale scout battles between the two armies. It can be said that at this time, the strings of both Qi and Chu have collapsed very tightly, if the Chu State knows that he has returned to the envoy of the Qi State in private, then the King of Chu must not jump!
Dai Yan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a perfect way to deal with it. The last thing he thought of was to send this envoy of Qi back privately, as if nothing had happened.
"Childe, are you sure you really sent this envoy of Qi back like this?" Just as he was about to do this, the giant Tian Gu stopped him.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Dai Yan also asked curiously.
"Did Gongzi ever think about what if the State of Qi deliberately let the State of Chu know that the envoy of the State of Qi had come to see you?" Tian Jiu said leisurely.
What a stupidity! Dai Yan secretly scolded himself. He used Ji Yin to kill the Yang Ling Jun of the Chu State, and when he saw the simplicity of the Fengyi people, he thought that this era was really a simple era, which was really naΓ―ve!
Then he thought that it was the envoy of the Qi State who came to lobby him, and his current opponent was the Qi State, so he didn't dare to be careless.
You have to know who is in control of the Qi Kingdom now? That's the Tian family! This is a family from an outside family that usurped the ruling power of the Jiang clan of the Qi Kingdom! The Qi Guotian family has always been a wonder in history. This family has always been rich in talents, and the talents produced are very distinctive.
The clan branch of this family specializes in rich conspirators, who borrowed grain from Tian Qi in the Qi State with a big bucket, and began to buy people's hearts with a small bucket; He served his guests with his concubines, and gave birth to more than 70 men to increase the population of his family; Then Tian He exiled Qi Kanggong to the sea and was made a prince. The Tian family has frequent means, and they never know what the bottom line is, so with the continuous efforts of generations of Tian conspirators, the Tian family finally completed the Tian dynasty.
And the descendants of this family are no less dishonest. His descendants, the Wang family, became the empress of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty because of Wang Zhengjun, and this family developed again as a relative of the Han Dynasty. Later, Wang Zhengjun's nephew Wang Mang went through 30 years of dormancy, and once again completed the "great cause" that his ancestors had done - a successful usurpation of the Han Dynasty.
And the side branch of this family is completely different from the branch of the family, specializing in military strategists. Sima Sui Tho, Sun Wu, and Sun Bin are all military strategists who have been famous for thousands of years. However, it has to be said that all the abilities of its side branches can indeed perfectly match the shortcomings of the sect branches.
Faced with such a strange and intelligent family, Dai Yan secretly scolded himself for relaxing his vigilance against it. In the face of this poisonous snake, this snake said that it would not bite, and he really believed it, how stupid is this! He was now sure that the envoy sent by the Qi State was definitely not really here to lobby him, it was simply to make the Chu State doubt himself, so as to separate the conspiracy of the Song State and the Chu State!
After getting the reminder from the giant, Dai Yan immediately sent this envoy of the Qi State who had no professionalism to Zhao Sui!
