Chapter 197 The city is still afraid of Xiaoqiang disaster (6)
The King of Chu was worried about how to deal with the complaints of these scholars.
If the scholars are resentful, the scholars will become resentful. The scholar class is the greatest reliance for the King of Chu to strengthen the royal power and fight against the deeply rooted nobles.
If it is not reprimanded and it is passed to the nobles, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction: not dealing with it is an attitude, an attitude that the King of Chu is ready to use scholars but abandons his relatives.
At this point, there was only one imperial yin in the State of Chu who was a prisoner from an enemy country, similar to Baili Xi, who was exchanged for five sheepskins by the Qin people.
The other official positions of the imperial court, Mo Ao, Sima, Zhu Guo and other people are basically monopolized by royal princes.
The King of Chu also wanted to respect the virtuous. For the royal power, respecting the virtuous is a good thing. But respecting the virtuous means turning against the nobles. As the new king who had just succeeded to the throne, he needs enough time and prestige to deal with the matter slowly.
If it is not handled well, many kings in the State of Chu have been destroyed by the nobles.
It was just when there was no choice but to take this opportunity to avoid this matter.
Back in the account, the confidential person had been brought, and not many people saw it.
It was just a matter of discussion, but the King of Chu could not discuss it alone. He had just waited for the Moh to come to the camp and said many profound and contradictory words, which made the nobles a little worried.
Some qualified nobles attended one by one, but the confidant in the city said, "This matter needs to be confidential."
The King of Chu also knew that some things were hard to explain, but he had no choice but to say: "In the past, when I besieged the city, I also knew about the secret matters. They were all royal families, so I don't have to worry too much."
Seeing that it was impossible to change, the man presented some silk with some confidential words and seals on it. The King of Chu only glanced at it for a few times and could not control his joy.
This time, the King of Chu attacked the civil strife in Shangqiu.
If there is no civil strife and there is Mo who guards the city, I am afraid that Shangqiu will not be able to take it.
In the view of the King of Chu, the key to whether the Three Jin Dynasties will send troops.
Now Zheng Han is anxious, the Qin people attacked Xihe, and Zhao Wei has a gap, which can delay at least half a year, but at most one year.
If the city is not in chaos, the King of Chu knew that it would be impossible to break the city if he was the Mo to defend the city.
The confidant sent by the Six Lords in the city is also an eloquent person. If he only had to be in front of the King of Chu, some words could naturally be more blunt.
But in front of so many people, the city's Dayin was the main person to eat human blood, and he couldn't say it after all.
He thought for a moment and said, "The Dayin and others in the city are worried about the Song country."
"Song was a small country, but he was rude and without Chu, which caused this disaster. However, the one who was rude to Chu was Zitian. He could not defend his foundation inside and could not save the people from suffering from wars outside. This is a foolish king."
"Now Mo helped defend the city, but he could defend it until the end. He was afraid that the scene of changing his son and eating when Duke Wen was a man. However, Zitian was stupid and would rather the people in the city suffer disaster than to surrender to Chu. The Great Yin was worried about the people, so he had this problem."
The King of Chu asked: "How long can the grain in the city be supported?"
The man said: "It takes several months to pay, and those who have fine money and food have fine plans, equal distribution, and can stick to it."
He also talked about the distribution of grain by some of the Mo people in the city, and said that when the grain was collected, the King of Chu knew that this was true.
Nowadays, civil servants have been used to recruit food and grass in Chu, and the new wheat is mature, so it can last for a long time, or it may last longer than when Zhuang Gong sieges the city.
However, every time you persist here, the greater the variables. Once the army is exhausted, the Three Jins send troops, it is afraid that another battle of Chengpu will be fought.
The King of Chu asked again: "How do you care about Da Yin?"
The confidant said, "The Great Yin believes that the country and ancestors should be the most important, the people should be protected from war disasters, and the gains and losses of the Duke and the Marquis should be the least important."
"So, the Dayin is preparing to burn the city's stored food. If there is insufficient food, the people in the city will understand Zitian's stupidity, expel Zitian, and thus be close to Chu."
"This is a way to avoid the city from breaking bones and eating tragedy, and it is a way to make contributions to the country's ancestors."
"The people are dull and can allow them to enjoy the results, but they cannot consider the long-term and the beginning, so Dayin made such a decision for the people in the city."
"After all, the people in the city don't know what to do to really benefit them."
"The Great Yin only hopes that you will not regard Song as your county!"
The King of Chu said solemnly: "I attacked Song this time because Zitian was rude and did not have the intention to destroy Song and establish a county. Ghosts and gods can see!"
"I swear that if I destroy Shangqiu, I will not be able to do anything to the Chen and Cai incident in the past!"
The meaning of the King of Chu was very clear. Before the establishment of the county, there was a history of having the heir of the Prince of Chu serve as Chen and Duke Cai.
In other words, establishing a county is the bottom line.
On this bottom line, if the King of Chu is cunning, he can maintain his status as a state like Chen and Cai, but the King of Chu can also serve as Duke Chen and Duke Cai, thus completing legal inheritance in the next generation.
Since it was said that it was ineffective in the case of Chen and Cai, and that it did not even have the idea of becoming a common federal state, it was just a storm that required Song to surrender, admit defeat, be close to Chu, and rebel against Jin.
Such things need to be admitted in person. Once the Chu people set up a county, the nobles of Song land would unite and resist strongly: Chen and Cai's examples are right in front of you, not that any family can create a new family glory in Qi like Chen Tian.
The confidant man heard this and said, "It's just that Mo's orders are strictly controlled by the city. If this matter is to be done, you need to cooperate."
"If you can attack the city and make the Mohist worried about the city defense, you can burn food and grass in the city while it is in chaos."
The King of Chu nodded, but the You Yin asked, "If you are right and harmonious, you set fire in the city and I will attack the city outside the city. Can't I capture Shangqiu?"
Hearing this, the King of Chu said intimately: "Silly! If the Chu people destroy Shangqiu, how can the Great Yin and Liuqing deal with themselves? They need to make the people in the city angry and riot and abandon the king in order to form an alliance with us. They are not Chu people, so how can you stand in the position of the Chu people to see this matter?"
But these words are hard to say, but fortunately, the confidant in the city said: "Mo's rules are strict. Even if there is a fire in the city, I am afraid that the city wall will still not be chaotic. Besides... if... if... if... if we take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, I am afraid that the Xuanyi tribe of the Mo's will take the opportunity to seduce the people, and it will be bad at that time."
The King of Chu hurriedly said, "Yes, I know the rules of Mozhe guarding the city, and I have also seen the benefits of people's words."
"It's just... this matter is not urgent. The time cannot be agreed upon."
Once the time is agreed, there is a possibility of being rebellious, and the Chu people will not take risks.
The confidant also said, "Time cannot be agreed upon. As long as the Chu people attacked the city with great strength, there will be a chance in the city. When the fireworks in the city rise, the foolish king will be abandoned soon."
"It's just... it's just that Da Yin is worried about the Three Jins sending troops."
The majestic city is like Shangqiu, which is difficult to break outside, but the disaster of Xiao Wall is difficult to resist.
Nowadays, Chu is thousands of miles away, with hundreds of cities, and it is very popular, but internal disputes may not be better than those in Shangqiu City...
