135. The king of scheming and deep calculations
The relationship between the Shang kings and the princes was not as good as imagined.
After all, this is not the era of great unification, and the princes are not completely subordinate to the great merchants.
The princes basically maintained a great deal of autonomy, although the Shang king had absolute control over the Wangji region centered on the Chaoge, but the control over the princes was relatively weak, and the Shang king was quite different from the monarchs of later generations, and in fact should be regarded as the head of the internal and external service alliance.
Strictly speaking, a prince is a semi-independent regime, not a complete hierarchy, which is roughly equivalent to a more closely related tributary state and a suzerain.
This is true in history, and it is also true in romance.
For example, in the romance, the king of Shang fabricated charges and cut Jiang Huan Chu and E Chongyu, and the sons of these two people turned back without saying a word, without hesitation at all, because the king of Shang killed the princes, and he was also one of the princes of the four towns, which was too much in their opinion, and the king of Shang was not qualified to kill them at all, which was simply unbearable.
That is to say, in the opinion of the princes, the Shang king actually could not convict them, unless it was really big enough to a point, such as rebellion.
That's why Ji Chang planned to be a businessman, his father's death was too aggrieved, and he was locked up by the king of Shang and killed on trumped-up charges, if it weren't for the later successor to the throne Di Yi marrying his sister and relatives, he would have rebelled.
But even so, it was seen as a joke by other princes for several years.
It is precisely because of this that Zishou will remedy it by killing Li Hou, Li Hou is a small prince, and he has just succeeded to the throne, and his influence is not great, and Li Hou himself has made a mistake in the following crimes, as long as he lists the crimes, he can be justified after a while.
And when the court killed the Marquis of Li, there was no list of charges, and the time was advanced, which was almost the limit of tolerance of the princes, who would scold and attract public anger, but would not rebel.
But Li Jing came out and made a set of criminal law rhetoric, and he also said that he was the Tao, claiming that he wanted to change the law, and he obviously came prepared.
All the princes were shocked by Li Jing, and they all felt that King Xu's every move was planned, and even received the support of the general army of each pass represented by Li Jing in advance.
And the commanders of each management held a large number of soldiers and horses, which was a sword hanging over the heads of the princes by the king of Shang.
The princes began to think, but discovered a larger conspiracy, all of which began when they first entered the court.
First of all, there is the horse farm.
A large number of horses were left behind by the earth, and through the training and selection of horse racing and gambling horses, many good horses were bred, and a large number of cavalry were added to Chaoge.
And the horse farm is just outside the Chaoge City, and every seven days there is a big bet on horses, everyone can see that the princes are not blind, these are not secrets at all.
Horses and cavalry are not available to princes everywhere, and it is self-evident what a cavalry can bring, just look at how strong Xirong is, the mobility of cavalry is not comparable to ordinary foot soldiers.
This is the dismount that the king gave them, I have horses and cavalry, but you don't!
Secondly, there is the football game.
The benefits of football are self-evident, and there are already many princes who are thinking about how to move back to their territories, and a corner of the land can train strong soldiers and drill military formations, which is really the way to govern the country.
But think about it again, this is the king of the ring to show them the elite of the merchant army, Lei Kai, Fang Xiang are all good generals, the king of the game of the commentary, every move is very in line with the art of war, the military array is important, and the posture of the famous handsome.
The fact that the king personally played football shows that he has a close relationship with the soldiers and has achieved complete control of the army.
There is a strong army, there are good generals, and they have a more stable grasp of military power, and the military appearance is prosperous, this is a threat to Hongguoguo!
Again, it's opera.
When listening to the opera at that time, the princes didn't think much about it, and even Ji Chang only thought about the incendiary nature of the opera to the people.
This is not the case.
The princes recalled the scene of Xia Bohou being killed in the opera, and the crowd shouted "Kill well".
They should have thought of it a long time ago.
The king, who has no right to dispose of the princes, why would he send troops into the prince's mansion in the play and directly order the beheading?
At that time, they only thought that opera was just a joke, and they didn't take it seriously.
But Li Jing also said "it's good to kill" just now, which instantly made them sober up, that drama is clearly warning everything today!
However, they didn't realize early that Li Hou had become the real Xia Bohou.
As for the cohesion shown by the three hundred guards when they watched the football game, the abundance of grain and straw shown by the wine pond meat forest, etc., and many more places that they hadn't noticed yet, they were all trivial.
One thing is accidental, two things are coincidence, and three things must be done deliberately.
Horse racing, football, and listening to the drama came down three times in a row, and finally killed Li Hou in the court, one by one until it was shocking, and then Li Jing took advantage of the situation to propose a change.
Countless princes were shocked, and the behavior of the king in the past few days was clearly clever, just to let them relax their vigilance!
Zishou looked ahead stupidly, he didn't know what to say, he was stupid by Li Jing.
My good sin is in all directions and the ancient and modern Ming monarchs are reversed, can you think that the princes are guilty of breaking the law and the common people?
I specifically killed Li Hou in the court, and the blood stained the hall, can you also say that you are the right law?
You saw that Nezha was killed, and he came to get me, right?
Co-authored Chaoga until now, I haven't done a single mediocre thing, and you still give me the guilt of Wanfang that I buried before?
What the does this have to be upside down?
Li Jing was full of righteousness, and his face was tense.
The king was not surprised, and sure enough, everything was under control.
He clenched his fists, legislated the law, and punished him heavily, so as to weaken the authority of the princes and solve the shortcomings accumulated by the Great Shang for more than 600 years, so that the dangerous merchants could be reborn from the ashes and change the law to strengthen the country, which is urgent.
After a pause, Zishou began to think.
The current situation is not particularly bad.
Heavy punishment is also one of the crimes of the original king, which is not accepted by the people of this era.
Change the law, emphasize the law, and the target is the princes, and he is definitely a faint monarch in the eyes of the princes.
Don't look at the princes present who don't dare to speak now, when they return to the territory, all of them are the kings of heaven, and they change the law together, and there are many mediocre values.
Moreover, weakening the princes not only makes them complain and thus earn mediocrity, but also strengthens the centralization of power, making it more powerful and easier for them to become mediocre.
Zishou believes that the reason why it has failed so far is because the centralized system of feudal absolutism has not been established, and the king's voice is too low.
Zishou squinted, Li Jing, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked a little pleasing to the eye.
Killing Li Hou can only bring about a temporary mediocrity, but changing the law is a long-term process.
"Li Qing's family has won my heart, the matter of changing the law, we will discuss it after the court, now that the blood of Lihou stains the hall, I don't have the mood to listen to music anymore, it is better to follow me to Shanglin Yuan and enjoy the flowers and stones!"
Shanglin Garden is the place where the sub was built to put the flower stone gang.
Amusement park, you can usually play hide and seek with Daji, isn't it exciting in the grove?
It's beautiful to think about, which faint gentleman doesn't have a cloth on his eyes and frolicking in the forest with beauties?
However, it has not been completed yet, only a rough plan of the site, just used to store rare stones, and the flower stone gang is also one of the mediocre plans, and there should be no chaos if no one interferes.
Zishou had already asked the Imperial Forest Army to stand by in Shanglin Yuan, with a large number of measurement tools imitated by Zhao Gongming.
While inviting the princes to watch the Huashi Gang together, they can continue to oppress the princes under the pretext of being unqualified.
After all, there is only one sign of the change now, and I don't know when Li Jing will start, with the speed of information dissemination in these years, it will take a while to receive results, and we can't watch the mediocre value in this settlement period return to zero, right?
Judging from all the things at present, eighty percent of the system has to be reversed, and it doesn't cost much, so it's going to be negative?
The sub-acceptance means that it cannot be accepted.
Next, it is difficult to use the flower stone gang, and when appreciating the stone, the herald is specially arranged to report the news of the Dongyi and Baiyue rebellions, and the princes will definitely be difficult, and the mediocrity is at your fingertips.
The princes nodded yes, and after thinking through it, they broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, if the king wants to deal with them, he can only figure it slowly, and he will not suddenly tear his face, and killing Li Hou today should be the limit.
Ji Chang retreated into the column and stopped talking, he was still a junior, but he didn't expect to be so scheming, he was a little radical just now, but fortunately, there was no big problem.
"Slowly, not only do you want to ride a car, but also ask Xibohou to be my emperor!"
