Chapter 142: Which is more important, the system and the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers?
There is never always an undefeated man in this world, and no one in this world can live forever, and heroes and heroes will eventually turn into dry bones in the grave.
In the twenty-eighth year of Ji hiding, the king of Qi was in Linzi, nicknamed "Xuan", and was known as King Xuan of Qi in history.
This is the first prince to pass away, and with his passing, the group of famous ministers who created the prosperity of the Qi State began to wither.
A strange undercurrent began to flow in the land of Zhuxia, and on this land, since the retreat from the country of Luo, a group of countries with similar strength coexisted, there is an unspoken rule, that is, the existence of superpowers is not allowed.
Chu is the strongest, the six countries will attack Chu in a row, Wei is the strongest, and the countries will jointly weaken Wei, and now Qi is the strongest, and many people of insight know that it is time to weaken Qi.
The capable people in the Qi country naturally also knew that the group of virtuous ministers in the past foresaw this danger, so they chose to win over and divide the countries.
But with the passing of that group of virtuous ministers, the Qi State did not completely abolish the system of Shiqing Shilu, which led to the poor level of this group of monarchs and ministers.
These people have always lived in the first environment in the world of Qi country, and they naturally have an indelible arrogance in their hearts, and they can't help but be arrogant in the face of other countries.
In the past, the six kingdoms were all towards Qi, because the Qi country was in full swing, and the six countries were not of the same mind, and the Qi country was because it had just defeated the Wei state and needed to consolidate the newly acquired land, and finally a phase king made the strange atmosphere come to an end.
But as long as there is no unification, the fierce war will never end.
Especially when Zhao Wei was forced to bow down to the Qi State, how could there be no resentment in his heart?
Even in South Korea, there is such a behemoth as Qi Guo by his side, and Han Hou has to wake up from time to time in his midnight dream.
Yan country, Jicheng.
After more than 20 years of hard work, the current soldiers of the Yan State are full of food, and they have basically reached the peak that the Yan State can achieve.
In the past, a group of young heroes are now middle-aged.
Yan Hou said with emotion: "The prosperity of Yan Kingdom today is all the credit of the talents, and it is a real achievement created by Yan Guo alone.
Lone heard that the king of Qi was also tyrannical in the country, and the nobles of Qi did not like him, and he was arrogant to Korea, and seemed to want to annex the Song land in Korea.
He even wanted to change places with Luo Guo and get Luo Guo's enclave in Song.
Now may be the time to deal with the Qi State. ”
Yan Xiangle Yi muttered: "It is indeed time to deal with the Qi State, but it is not enough to fight against the Qi State by relying on the Yan State alone, and I also ask the monarch to contact the other five countries to join forces to attack Qi." ”
Yan Hou frowned and said: "Han Zhao is afraid of the Qi State, the Wei Hou is mediocre, he fights in the harem all day long, he has no ambition at all, the Qin State and the Wei State have been at war, will they participate in the war against Qi?"
Among these five countries, only the Chu State sent troops, because the Chu State wanted to annex the land of Wuyue. ”
Le Yi smiled: "Monarch, if a person likes gold and silver, then he should be pleased with gold and silver, not with beauty."
Wei Hou was lustful and gave him a beautiful woman, and Han Zhao was afraid of the Qi State, so he would use the Qi State to coerce them.
When among the seven kingdoms today, the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Qi are kings, and you also want to be kings, so don't the kings of Zhao, Wei and Han want to be kings?
In the past, when all the kings were fifth-class princes, they didn't realize it, but now three people are kings and four people are marquis, so there are high and low.
If you and Zhao, Wei, and Han recognize each other's thrones, the four kingdoms will be tightly united.
The State of Qi will definitely be dissatisfied with the three Jin Dynasty as kings, and will raise troops to crusade, will the Three Jin Dynasty remove the king name?
Naturally, it won't.
Then gathering the power of the five kingdoms of Yan, Chu, Zhao, Wei and Han is enough to subvert the Qi State, and the five countries will join forces, will the Qin State dare not participate in the joint column?
Then I'm afraid that the Qin State will follow the end of the Qi State. ”
The monarch of the Three Jin Dynasty was really as Le Yi expected, and he couldn't refuse the proposal to be the king at all, even if there were courtiers to advise, it was just one sentence, "When King Qi Xuan is buried, he will be buried with royal rites, and that is a glorious thing." ”
The prime minister of the four kingdoms really angered the Qi State, especially Korea, which was also the king, and was regarded as a betrayal by the Qi State.
Qi Wang An said angrily in Linzi: "Han Hou is a widowed courtier, his virtue is shallow, he can't be recognized by God, but he arrogantly claims to be the king, isn't this a traitorous rebellious minister and thief?"
In the past, the state of Chu was arrogantly called the king, and the Duke of Luo Wen attacked it, so that the state of Chu went to the king, and now the marquis of Han is called the king, and the widow should go to crusade against him, so that he can know that the person who has no virtue but is the king, Haotian will send down the punishment. ”
The courtiers of the State of Qi were also filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, if there was no State of Qi, Korea would have disappeared into the world like hundreds of vassal states in the past, but now it has betrayed the State of Qi, and the ministers are willing to lead troops to fight and conquer Korea for you." ”
The monarchs and ministers of Qi have long coveted the land of Korea, and the excuse of the nobles of Qi can no longer be satisfied by the vassals alone, they hope that South Korea will be completely incorporated into the Qi State like Wu State, and now Korea has given such a good excuse, which is naturally to be used.
As everyone knows, Qi Guo's actions are in the hands of the monarch and ministers of Yan State, and Yan Wangping smiled directly: "King Qi actually directly reprimanded King Han, hasn't he heard the story of the frightened bird?" ”
King Qi didn't know if he had heard of it, but the bird King Han was frightened, and the throne was not yet hot, so he hurriedly contacted Zhao Weiyan and the Three Kingdoms.
When he was the first king, he made a promise, but it didn't count at this critical time, but fortunately, Yan Zhao Nan'er's promise was still counted, which made King Han's heart temporarily settle down.
Yingdu.
The old King of Chu finally waited for the Central Plains princes to join forces to attack Qi, he came to the tomb of the Xiang family that had long since passed away, and said with a smile: "Xiang Qing, the joint attack on Qi you said has begun, and the State of Wu will eventually fall into the hands of the State of Chu."
It's a pity that you won't see this day, but the widow will send your descendants as the generals of the joint column to lead a team of soldiers and horses of the Chu State. ”
Qin State, Xianyang.
King Qin's face was a little serious, "Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu are attacking the five kingdoms, which is ostensibly inviting the Qin State to join the alliance, but in fact it is a threat, if you don't obey now, I'm afraid the next step for the five kingdoms is to attack Qin together." ”
Wei Ying frowned deeply, striking the Qi State had no effect on the Qin State, but how to strike it was a very important matter.
He pondered for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty, it has always been an iron law that unites the weak and attacks the strong, if the Qi country is defeated, who is the strongest country?" ”
King Qin said with a gloomy face: "Naturally, it's the Qin State!" ”
Qin occupied Bashu, Chu could only deploy heavy troops at the important pass out of Bashu, Qin's blow to Wei was equally serious, and even repeatedly invaded the land east of the river, if it was not for the strategy and could not seize the east of the river, this land would have been taken long ago.
Wei Ying said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, even if you want to participate in this cooperation, you must restrain your edge, and don't let the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Yan have a fear of the Qin State." ”
The sudden convergence of the six countries shocked the Qi State, only the Chu State had experienced such a blow in the past, and the King of Qi asked with some doubts: "Zhongqing, the Qi State is just a war against Han, why do the five countries of Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wei, and Yan want to attack Qi together?"
Qin and Qi have shared the same respect between the east and the west, the two countries of Qi and Chu have signed a peace treaty, and the two countries of Qi and Yan have been good neighbors and friends for many years, how could they suddenly become enemies of the whole world? ”
No wonder the King of Qi is so flustered, even if the six countries are not careful, it will be the end of the country, although the territory of Qi is large, but it is a long and narrow north and south, a large plain.
Unlike the State of Chu, which is extremely deep, and unlike the State of Zhao, there are dangers of mountains and rivers that can be used as a barrier to hold back the footsteps of the coalition army.
"Your Majesty, it must be that the six countries are afraid when they see that our Qi country is strong and prosperous, so there is today's disaster, and the top priority now is to defend the country, and then wait for the right time to destroy the alliance, otherwise the Qi country is in danger of overturning."
Luo Guo.
When the news of the merger of the six countries reached Luoguo, Luo Ce and Luo Li were playing against each other, Luo Li was stunned for a moment, frowned and then stretched, "Sure enough." ”
Luo Ce smiled: "Li'er, what do you think of this merger, is the Qi Kingdom destroyed?" ”
Luo Li shook his head and said: "Impossible, among the six countries of the alliance, only Yan and Han are sincere.
The state of Chu was for the land of Wu, and the state of Zhao and Wei were for self-preservation.
The Qin State is so far away from the Qi State, even if the land is obtained, the final outcome is like the land of Huaisi, which cannot really enhance the strength of the Qin State.
The only winners of this battlefield are Korea and Yan, which is not what the other four countries want to see, but the decline of Qi is certain.
After that, the Qi State may never have a chance to regain its current strength, a war like a plough, and the Qi State suffered devastating destruction. ”
Luo Li directly made a conclusion to the Qi State, the current situation in Zhuxia is different from hundreds of years ago, once it declines, other countries will not give it a chance at all.
Wei State had a slight bit of decline, and was immediately besieged, until now basically the hegemony has declined, and it will be reduced to the two countries of Zhao and Han to keep warm.
Luo Ce asked, "Then it seems that the Qi Kingdom has no mandate of heaven, where will the favor of heaven fall?" ”
Luo Li said directly: "Whichever country produces more wise monarchs, whoever will be favored by heaven."
Throughout the 800 years of Bang Zhou, countless vassal states have risen and fallen, but those who are wise have prospered, and those who have mediocre monarchs have declined.
No matter how good the system is, it still needs people to implement it, and when King Li was in the past, the power of the royal family was so strong, and it was not once the elite was lost.
The son previously thought that the Qin State might have received the Mandate of Heaven, because the Qin State was the most extreme country in the practice of hegemony, but when he saw the prosperity of the Qi State, he had doubts about the hegemony.
Can the so-called system really be worthy of the ability of the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers?
Even if the state of Chu, the only country that failed to change the law, if it was ten successive generations of British masters, wouldn't it be possible to dominate the world? ”
Lotzer did not speak, for he did not know the answer to the question either.
The armies of the Six Nations are under the city.
