Chapter 112: Twenty years in the blink of an eye
As Luo Chang advanced his plan in an orderly manner, the tragedy that occurred in the Qi State shocked the countries again.
The Linzi nobles launched a counterattack against some of the minor nobles for political purposes, and achieved great success, more than 30 nobles died directly in Linzi City, including the private soldiers and retainers they brought, and thousands of people died in the tragedy.
"Xue Yuan and the others were all nobles who were divided by the ancestors, but they did not want to serve the king, but coerced the monarch to achieve their goal of starting a war.
How many Qi people died on the battlefield, and how many nobles were cut off from their sacrifices because of this?
What a tiger, leopard, and jackal nature is this, and will such a person repent?
If such a traitor is not killed, the Qi State will definitely fall into a terrifying defeat again in the future. ”
The people of Qi scolded Xue Yuan and others one after another, in order to start a war, killing the Qi people but blaming the Song people for this kind of thing once again broke through the moral bottom line.
Since the killing of Tian Chang, the politics of Qi have been shrouded in bloody killings, and it is completely a cruel model of winner-take-all and loser annihilation.
The Qin and Wei countries stationed in Huaisi couldn't help but shudder when they saw this scene: "These nobles of the Qi State are really ruthless, just stay in the Qi State and harm yourself." ”
In the face of the continuous weakening of the Qi State, Yan Hou had some different thoughts in his heart, so he asked his relatives to the left and right: "During the Great War of Zhuxia, the Yan Kingdom resisted the Hu people in the north.
This is a great kindness to Qi Guo.
However, the State of Qi did not express his gratitude to the State of Yan after the war, which was not in line with etiquette.
Shouldn't the Yan Kingdom attack the Qi State to express the anger of the Yan Kingdom? ”
The prime minister of Yan State did not expect his own monarch to think about this matter, Yan Guo's defense against the Hu people itself was to maintain the security of his territory, and protecting Qi State was just a matter of incident.
After thinking about it, I guessed that the monarch was because of the rupture of the Ji Jiang alliance, and the Luo Kingdom no longer reconciled the contradictions, so he wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the Qi State.
"Monarch, now wage war against Qi State, Yan State will win, Qi State will cut three hundred miles of land for Yan State!"
Yan Hou was overjoyed, and then saw the prime minister with a sad face: "But the minister has to lament for the monarch, and the land of 800 miles north of Yan will be lost."
The land of the Yan Kingdom is barren, and it is because of the Qi State that it has survived to this day.
Although the Qi State is weak now, can the Yan State destroy the Qi State?
When the Qi State recovers after twenty years, even if it doesn't attack the Yan State, just sit back and watch the Hu people from the north pour into the Yan State, can the Yan State still be able to hold the eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers north of Jicheng?
The Chen's family has been favored by the Yan Kingdom for generations, but seeing the Yan Kingdom fall into such a dangerous situation, can it not be lamented for the monarch and the Yan Kingdom? ”
Yan Hou was displeased when he heard this: "Could it be that Yan Kingdom will always be a vassal of Qi State?"
Yan is a noble surnamed Ji, now the country of Luo is weakened, the state of Wu is destroyed, the state of Wei is untrustworthy and unrighteous, South Korea is just the dog of the state of Wei, is there anything more noble than the country of Yan in this world? ”
Looking at Yan Hou's face, Yan Xiang really wanted to slap him twice, but he still coaxed him in a good voice: "Monarch, Yan has a land of two thousand miles, but Qi now has only one thousand miles of land, and there are countless wild people in the land of Yan who can be used as soldiers."
As long as Yan State recruits talents and develops step by step, it can become a world power like Chu State.
Now attacking the Qi country, isn't this discarding the beautiful jade, but going to the Qi country to pick up the inferior stones? ”
Yan Xiang didn't believe it when he said this, how could it be compared with the fertile plains of Chu in the broken land of Yan State, but it was enough to fool Yan Hou, after all, Yan Hou didn't even know the difference between Shangtian and Xiatian.
So the monarch of Yan State rested his heart to attack Qi State.
Luo Chang didn't care about what happened in Qi Kingdom, and now he was busy transforming for the Luo clan and seeking a future path for the world.
Now even the Zhou royal family doesn't have time to take care of it, let alone the Qi State Office, as long as there is no danger of collapse, he will stay quietly in the Luo Kingdom.
After the Great War, the drastic social changes finally stopped completely with the bloody tragedy of the Qi State, and the Wei State began to change the law, and the existing Legalists in the Qi State also began to seek to change the law in the face of the slightly unified Qi State.
However, the Wei Fajia's set of monarch-only techniques was not suitable for the Qi State.
Therefore, some people went to study in Luoguo, and everyone in Qi knew that there was a complete Guan Zhong's work in Luoguo.
Guan Zhong was the spiritual idol of all Qi people, the most revered person under King Su, and they hoped to find a solution to the problem of Qi from Guan Zhong's writings.
Even the prince of Qi Guo personally went to Luo Guo to meet Luo Chang, and said with tears in his eyes: "Luo Hou, now that the Qi State is in decline, there is an extreme shortage of talents, and I want to change the law to strengthen the country, but I don't know how to do it.
The two countries of Qi Luo have been a blood alliance for more than 700 years, can you sit back and watch the Qi country fall like this?
The whole country of Qi knows that the country of Luo has no time to take care of him, but please also look at the friendship of so many years, and please let the talents of the public family come to the country of Qi, and the country of Qi is willing to match with high-ranking officials and noble daughters of the sect.
King Su's gods are in the sky, and Qi is willing to live and die with Zhou Luo! ”
How could Luo Chang not be moved by this cry?
So he sighed: "Childe, please get up, as you said, for more than 700 years of blood alliance, how could the Luo Kingdom sit back and watch the fall of the Qi Kingdom?"
There are children in the Luo Kingdom who specialize in the study of Zhongxiang, so let them go to the Qi Kingdom, and hope that the prince can take care of them more.
It is hoped that the Qi State can become strong again and revive the hegemony of the Huan Gong as soon as possible. ”
So a group of children of the Gong clan went to the Qi country like this, but Luo Chang said that if he didn't want to stay in the Qi country, he could come back at any time.
It is equivalent to Luo Guo sending a group of people to Qi to help.
As the countries vigorously resumed production, waiting for the new generation to grow up and get more taxes and soldiers, as the reform intensified, the division between Wei and China was collapsing at an unimaginable speed, and a large number of wild people were incorporated into the household registration and became Wei yeoman farmers.
The traditional well field system was completely abolished in the Wei state, and with the progress of the reform and the influx of talents, the hereditary system of aristocracy was also abolished.
Among the Wei Kingdom, only the position of Marquis of Wei can be hereditary!
This was naturally opposed by the nobles, this is everyone's Wei State, not your Wei Qing alone.
Wei Houqing forcefully struck down all the obstacles to the change, and those opponents even persuaded Wei Hou's son to oppose it.
The admonition of opposition was given in the morning, and the order of execution was given in the afternoon.
Wei Hou had long wanted to kill an important nobleman to show his resolute attitude towards the change, but he didn't expect to bump into his own son.
Think about it again, what about the seven or eight sons, there is no shortage of this one, so he directly ordered to be killed.
"As the prince of Wei, how stupid it is to openly despise the monarch's father and oppose the plan to strengthen the country!
Can such mediocrity entrust the country?
Only by killing it can we never suffer in the future, and after being alone, the law of strengthening the country can be continued. ”
The prince of Wei couldn't believe that his father was so ruthless, and said sadly: "Cool law hurts the people, is this really the way to strengthen the country?"
Erchen admonished for the Wei State, even if he was killed, he would not accept it! ”
Anyone's plea was useless, and a noble prince gave his life for the change of the Wei State.
Wei Houqing's ruthlessness and insistence on changing the law shocked everyone, and no one in the Wei State objected to it at this time.
Han Han and Zhao Guo both felt terrified when they watched from the side, "Wei Houqing is still able to do this with his own son, can he still treat his subjects well?"
If he can't be kind to his subjects, will he care about his allies?
Forming an alliance with the Wei State is like walking with the wolf of Zhongshan. ”
But the Legalist scholar was overjoyed and shouted that the Marquis of Wei was the holy king of the world, "The monarch is as holy as the sky, with a monarch like you, will the Wei State not be strong?" ”
Then galloping and playing with spells in the Wei State, with the full support of Wei Houqing, in just a few years, the Wei State was completely renewed, showing great vitality.
As Wei Houqing's deeds spread all over the world, his reputation quickly polarized, but it is an indisputable fact that more and more Legalists came to Wei.
These scholars showed their abilities and greatly restored the population of Wei, especially from Wangji, Korea and Zhao through the granting of fields.
The so-called integration of the art of war, as the Wei State began to transform, the people of the military family also began to exert their strength in the Wei State to train the world's strong army for the Wei State.
After Qin Bo returned to the country, he was depressed when he thought of Wei Houqing's matter, and his mentality even collapsed a little, it was really a good situation, unless he was the kind of person whose mind was tenacious to the extreme, no one could bear it.
When someone in the Qin State asked him to learn Wei Houqing's Fa change, he directly said angrily: "Wei Houqing is a villain without a plan, a short-sighted rat, and a lowly person who has never appeared in the Zhuxia Kingdoms.
Could such a person do the right thing?
Look at what he has done, interfering in the marriage of the nobles of the kingdom, even a tyrannical king of the Tyranny has never done so.
He belittled the vassals who had made meritorious deeds, abolished the hereditary lords of the nobility, and asserted that one day, he would die from the assassination of his subordinates.
Isn't it not that the traitorous ministers were deceived by the traitorous ministers who killed their own sons directly because of the advice?
Lonely is the lord of righteousness, how can he emulate such a despicable and lowly species! ”
As a result, the state of Qi began to change the law gently, saying that it was better to change the law than to bridge the political situation of the division of the state of Qi, and the countries around the Wei state either hesitated or did not have the conditions to change the law.
Either it's like a royal family, staying in Wanggi every day to enjoy it, thinking about infighting all day long, or maybe it's the chaos of the royal family's traditional palace.
Twenty years, with the flick of a finger, the world has been disturbed.
In the Luo Palace, another generation of new children of the Luo Guo Office has grown up.
Luo Chang sat under the tree, looking at the autumn sun, fluttering and falling leaves, and in his hand was the news about the countries brought by the prince of Luoguo.
"Father, the Wei State is strong, there are military soldiers and strong troops, not weaker than the Luo State Ruishi in the past, and there are Han and Zhao as allies, and the Qin people fought in the west of Hangu Pass, beheaded 20,000, shaking the world, and then I am afraid that it will be a big battle with the Chu State in Nanyang."
Luo Chang glanced slightly, "Defeat Qin first, and then attack Chu, Wei is treating itself as a Jin State, but unfortunately Wei is not a Jin State after all."
The policies implemented by the Wei State Reform Law over the years, the results caused by the policies, how the Wei Fajia dealt with them, and what results they obtained, have all been recorded, which really benefited the office a lot. ”
Guan Zhong's reform in Qi in the past years was recorded by Luo's family, and the Wei Fajia who mutated from Guan Zhong's technique was the first time to practice it in a large country, which was an extremely valuable experience.
Although Luo's does not interfere in politics, he will not let go of culture, and for nearly 800 years, Luo's governing books have been able to fill huge palaces.
……
The reform of Wei destroyed the hereditary system of the aristocracy and the land system of the Zhou Dynasty, the economic basis of feudal slavery was destroyed, and the new landlord class arose, which represented a change in the advanced productive forces, and was also the blueprint for the subsequent reform of the foreign countries. - "Warring States Law Reform Collection"
This is called detailed and appropriate, accelerated and accelerated, in the era of the hundred schools of thought, in addition to the traditional hundred schools, there are astronomers, mathematicians or something, there must be something different, Luo's is a treasure trove, all kinds of knowledge must be had
