Chapter 167: The Dilemma That Really Needs to Be Solved
Ying Lu looked at Yingcheng and suddenly smiled:
"No one instructed us, we can't move in Yongcheng!"
"My children of the Ying clan, except for Yongcheng, there is no place to go!"
"If it continues to be eroded, the clan will be completely destroyed, and I am afraid that even the ancestral tablet of Yongcheng will not be able to hold it!"
"I instructed Ying Dao to do this, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the people, I hope the prison country will be clear!"
The winning road is peaceful.
But Yingcheng was not calm, stared at Ying Fu angrily, and said viciously: "You instructed it, does Gaozu know about this?" β
Ying Fu was silent, but Ying Lu shook his head and said: "Gao Zu has been sick in bed since last month, or time is running out, so he doesn't dare to bother anymore!" β
Yingcheng stared at Ying Jie, who was missing an arm, and said angrily: "Don't you still understand, the current situation of the clan is caused by the clan's collusion with outsiders to force the palace several times, and the clan can still maintain its current status, it is you Ying Kai who exchanged this arm for it." β
"This time, what do you want me to take your head off?"
"Or do you want me to demote the Marquis of Guan Nei to a slave."
"You're not protecting the clan, you're harming the clan."
"Five-class and ninth-rate, within the emperor's rank, the clan is naturally superior to the people, isn't this enough, stupid, stupid to home, you, you, stupid to home."
Ying Fu finally spoke, and said with an embarrassed face: "My arm is not worth a few dollars, and my life is not worth mentioning." β
"If I exchange my life for the lives of those two officials, what will the prison think?"
said.
Ying Fu suddenly drew his sword and walked away.
Yingcheng roared like thunder: "Sword armor." β
Guo Huaiyi hurriedly blocked in front of Yingcheng to take the short sword in Yingjie's hand, but it was the sword armor figure that swayed, and he had already snatched the sword in Yingjie's hand.
"Whew!" Yingcheng was going to be angry and stared at the pedantic Yingjie, "Pedant fool, you should have died in Xianyang City at the beginning, leaving the last bit of face for the clan." β
"If you die today, where do you leave my Ying clan, after this incident, you can ask Your Majesty to resign, you are not capable of leading my Ying clan."
Ying Wei shook his head and sneered: "Your Majesty, He has never given the clan a chance. β
"Although there are many feudal lords in the clan, apart from those titles, what is left in the clan?"
"Now, do you want to take away even the last bit of land that the clan survives on?"
"That's right, you are also the same as Your Majesty, you stay away from the clan, you have no last resort, we are stupid, you are all smart, the clan has been tricked by you, and the clan has no face to talk about."
Yingcheng stared at Ying Jia with a fierce look in his eyes, and asked sharply with a trembling face: "Who is instigating it, you are dragging the clan into a state of no return." β
Ying Wei laughed and said, "It's already like this, isn't it." β
"Keep the land belonging to the clan, and all the participants today will give an explanation to the imperial court, or the prison of the country will selflessly demote the Guannai Marquis Mansion to raze, etc."
"Are you crazy?" Yingcheng stared at Ying Fu in horror.
Ying Fu shook his head and smiled: "I Ying Fu has made countless mistakes in my life, dragging my crippled body to survive so far, and there is no moment more sober than now." β
"As long as I keep the clan land, that is the last face of the clan, and the rest are floating clouds!"
Yingcheng said coldly: "Do you think I don't dare to depreciate?" β
Ying Fu shook his head and said: "In the five hundred and fifty-six years of my Qin State, there are countless clans that have made mistakes, and the nearest Chang'an Jun Cheng Cheng rebelled, and His Majesty did not demote him to a slave, after Chang'an Jun was beheaded, his body was buried in the ancestral grave, and the tablet was entered into my Ying clan ancestral hall." β
"A little further, Linggong, Jian Gong, Hui Gong, four generations of chaotic government, to the fifth generation of Xiangong, still in the ancestral hall tablet on the throne, for me to win the ancestors."
"No matter who is the king of the clan, as long as I win the clan's relatives."
"The abolition of the emperor at the beginning also stemmed from rumors, whether Your Majesty hates it or is close, the clan has only one purpose, and the king of my Qin State must come from the orthodox Ying bloodline."
"Today, if the clan loses its last remaining land, it will no longer have the strength to compete with the court."
"Our generation cannot become sinners of the clan, and if we lose these lands, we will have no shame to see our ancestors and ancestors again."
Yingcheng's heart was about to jump out, and he said angrily: "Collectivized agriculture only belongs to the land, and does not deprive the clan of land. β
Ying Wei shook his head and smiled: "This is different, it's really different, you don't understand, the collective is the land of the imperial court." β
"Maybe you haven't heard of it, I'll tell you about it now."
"At that time, the fields near Yongcheng were dug out by my Ying ancestors, little by little, and the ancestors did not know how to make wheels, so they used a basket to carry the soil mound, and there was no copper pickaxe, so the ancestors used sharpened bamboo knives to dig ditches and ditches."
"The spirit of my Qin people is like barbaric food, and there is no force in this world that can crush the spirit of our Qin people."
"I'm not reasoning with you, I'm just letting you understand that the clan will always have the same blood as you, the spirit of the Qin people has long been imprinted in our blood, and when it needs to boil, no one can stop us from rising from a remote and impoverished place. Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together, the blood will not be dried, and he will not give up! β
"No matter who is the king, when the country is in trouble, the clan has never complained about shaving food to feed the Qin State, and when the country has no army, the clan naughty boys dare to put on armor and go to the battlefield, in this land, the clan has shed no less blood than the rest."
"Keep it, you can't move, you really can't move."
Yingcheng also shook his head and said: "This is impossible, if the clan land does not move, how can it shake the land of Xungui?" β
"Besides, now the children of the Ying clan can all enter the court as officials, there is no difference, and if the clan wants to compete with the court, it is easy to do."
Ying Fu still shook his head and said: "No, only a few of the children of the Ying family go to the court as officials, and they can't go to the military power, each generation of the clan will secretly train military commanders to serve as military captains of the Yongcheng Guard, but when there is no fundamental crisis, they will never go out of the mountain." β
"The clan is different from everyone else, we have the same blood, our ancestors were all kings of Qin, the rebellion of the five generations of ancestors, the foundation laid by Mu Gong for my Qin State is gone, and the rebellion of the pious prince almost broke my Qin country."
"The clan is not in charge of the army, and it doesn't need too much official position, since Xiaogong, I win the clan and there is no longer a commander of the army, do you think that I win the clan of 1.2 million people, and there will be no commander in a hundred years?"
"What really makes the clan depend on it is only land, and only land, which is the foundation of a country's strength."
Yingcheng sighed deeply in his heart.
Staring at the two clan elders with the highest status in the clan in front of him.
It's also very difficult to feel in my heart.
When it was rumored that the first emperor was the illegitimate son of LΓΌ Buwei and his great-grandmother Zhao Ji, the clan first forced the palace on this matter, and the power of the clan was very huge at that time, and the front was hard steel LΓΌ Buwei and the empress dowager Zhao Ji almost abolished the first emperor.
At the same time, the clan entered the Zhao State to investigate, and turned the story of great-grandmother Zhao Ji and LΓΌ Buwei and King Zhuang Xiang upside down, and no one knew what the specific result was, but the clan finally gave up.
Later, in the rebellion of Chang Poison, LΓΌ Buwei was greedy for power, and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was in power.
The first emperor was able to regain power, but also in the name of worshipping the ancestor into the crown to hide in Yongcheng and let the poison cause Xianyang, Ying Fu also lost his arm at that time, and the first emperor also led troops from Yongcheng to quell the Xianyang Rebellion, which was also corrected by the clan.
The First Emperor also seized power, forcing the clan step by step to retreat and take back the authority of the clan.
But there are a few points.
The first emperor deposed many clan titles, but they were not abolished, and there were still marquises' eldest sons to inherit them.
The First Emperor was extremely disgusted with people interfering in his decision-making, but he never touched the land of the clan.
The clan is a special force.
It possesses the peculiarity of correcting orthodoxy.
Yingjie is right.
The clan bleeds the same blood as him, the ancestors are all kings of the Qin State, for the clan, it doesn't matter who the person who sits in the emperor's position is, the important surname wins.
And this.
It is the place where there is the greatest conflict with the supremacy of imperial power, and it is also the reason why the clan was taken back by the first emperor.
But so it is.
There are pros and cons.
The rebellion of the five generations of kings was the time when the Jin State was divided by the three families after Mu Gong, and the Wei State rose to hegemony.
At that time, it was almost thirty years of internal warfare in the clan, which directly led to the Qin State, which could compete with the behemoth Jin State, becoming a small country in the west, until the succession of Duke Xian, which ended the internal strife in Qin.
After the death of Xiaogong, Qiangong united with the three clans of Mengxi and Bai, and fought back to force Shang Jun to death, and welcomed back King Huiwen, who was relegated to the folk wandering.
And this is also the reason for the decline of the former aristocracy on the banks of the Weishui River in Xianyang City.
However, although King Huiwen resented Shang Jun for banishing him, he felt among the people that Legalism was the foundation of the country's strength, not only did not betray the battle of the Mengxi and Bai clans, but also kicked the Mengxi and Bai clans out of the court, exterminated Gongzi Qian, who endangered the rule of law, and justified the name of Shang Jun.
And this is why there are ancient legends such as the Northern Expedition to Yiqu, the West Ping Bashu, the East Han Valley, the South Shang Yu, and the vertical and horizontal Zhang Yi.
It was also from that time that the clan gradually became standardized, and the inheritance of the eldest son was strictly followed.
The clan gradually became the foundation of the Qin state.
But this!
If he could not appease the clan to promote collectivized agriculture, the implementation of the entire noble territory would be hindered like never before.
If he forcibly eliminated the Guannei Hou and implemented it, he would naturally be able to deter Xungui, and then he would face a strong recovery of the entire clan's land.
Once he did this, it would really completely make the clan collapse from now on, and there would be no possibility of rising, this was definitely not the situation he wanted to see.
'It's hard! β
Yingcheng also made a mistake in his heart, the problem is that now the clan only wants to keep the land, and he doesn't want to be an official or a general.
This is no longer the meaning of the Guannai Hou Mansion, but the meaning of the entire clan.
That's the real core issue.
As for the matter of the twelve officials, it is a matter that is easy to solve.
From beginning to end, the law is a set of top-down ruling laws, and it is almost impossible to truly practice the law to the level of the common good.
