Chapter 247: King Mi Bing of Jing and Song Shakes the Heart (5)
He said a lot with great sound, and he was very clear about the real deal after deleting these crowns.
The Yishi of Pei County helped the people of Shangqiu succeed in the coup, forcing Song Gong to form an alliance; the Yishi of Pei County captured the King of Chu and formed a alliance in five steps to lift the siege of Shangqiu; Pei County helped Shangqiu with accumulated food aid so that the people of Shangqiu would not be hungry and hungered.
In this way, the Shangqiu people supported Pei County's status as a vassal state and supported the institutional changes of Pei County people when they were asking about politics.
It is just that this kind of exchange of interests requires a special coat called mutual benefit.
The people of Shangqiu supported the Mohist decision and understood what kind of benefits they wanted to strive for. If appropriate, it would become easier to promote.
By dawn, the reason to be explained clearly, and the people also selected locals in Shangqiu whom they could trust to prepare for the issue of "asking the public".
Although the Mo family controlled the nobles during the battle to defend the city, they still had no chance to attack these nobles.
One reason is that once you take action, it will challenge the order of the world's hierarchy and inferiority, which will trigger a siege of the world. A small Shangqiu cannot block the siege of the world's countries.
Second, even if you take action, it will be meaningless. After the Si Ziyang of Zheng State was killed a few years later, his followers could still cause trouble, expel Zheng Duke, and divide Zheng State into three.
The nobles are still very powerful, but the siege is their weak stage. What they can do now cannot be done once the siege is over.
Many things can only be taken slowly.
After the day was completely bright, Song Gong and others could leave the palace. Those Mohist disciples who were nominally responsible for guarding them to prevent mutual harm still followed.
It is called protection, but in fact it is surveillance, which is a condition that must not be relaxed.
Shi here, the people have also encouraged to elect enough representatives of the Chinese people to go to the palace together to discuss the alliance with the nobles of Song Gong and the Chu people.
The young Duke of Song has gone from his ambition before ascending the throne to the point of helplessness now, but in just a few years, he has matured much more in this day.
It is no longer the Zitian who is looking forward to attacking the Three Jins and capturing Chu City in the south, so many things are easy to make sense.
The first few points to joining the Chu alliance are easy for both Song Gong and the nobles to agree. The last two things about the righteous master are the root cause of the dispute.
The right to allocate the righteous master belongs to the Inquiry Yuan, not the Duke of Song, which makes it difficult for Song Duke to accept, but it makes it easy for the nobles to accept.
At least, it seems easy to accept now.
Originally, Duke Song did not arbitrarily allocate the power of the entire Qianli Song State. Under the feudal system, Duke Song could only manage his own direct territory. If he intervened in the fiefdom of the nobles, the nobles would be very dissatisfied.
Just as Tang Sui fulfilled his mission in the late Warring States Period later generations.
Tang Sui was a minister of Anling Kingdom, Anling Kingdom was a vassal of Wei, and Anling Jun was the younger brother of King Wei, so he was as powerful as Qin and could only negotiate directly with Anling Jun, and the King of Wei could not interfere in the affairs of Anling Kingdom.
This is the rule under the feudal system.
The centralization of power was still like this until the late Warring States Period. Now, under the feudal system of Song State, Song Gong wanted to move the fiefs of those nobles, and it was simply a pity for death.
Therefore, even if it is just a righteous teacher in Shangqiu, it is difficult for Duke Song to accept it, because the people in the capital are the easiest part of the power that Duke Song can master.
The direct vassals and scholars of Duke Song were generally among the fiefs near the capital. The doctors and the six ministers each had their own fiefs and had their own subordinates. They were only a simple feudal obligation to divide the feudal system with Duke Song.
Just as Gongsun Hui could rebel against Qi and return to Zhao in Linqiu, Qi could only recognize Linqiu's independent status in the end. The inertia of the feudal system of various countries that did not complete the centralized reform was too great and it was difficult to control it.
However, Duke Song was unwilling to accept it, but the nobles were happy. They were worried that Duke Song would gain power after his might, so they supported Shangqiu to establish a Yi Shi and wanted to restrain Duke Song's power as much as possible.
In terms of restraining the monarchy, the nobles were at this time consistent with the people's ideas.
Sichenghuang, Dayin, Gongshu and others expressed the importance of establishing a righteous army in Shangqiu, and Song Gong could only accept it helplessly.
After this matter was resolved, the remaining alliance with the Chu people would be much simpler.
After the envoy sent by Song Gong to Chu Camp, various preparations had begun in Shangqiu City. This time the oath was completely different from the past.
Although Shi has said that he should not anger the State of Chu as much as possible, the most basic etiquette must be won.
Just as Lin Xiangru forced the Qin King to play music in later generations, the exchanges between countries can easily lead to a disagreement after the rituals collapsed and music broke down.
The rituals collapse and the music is broken.
Or it is like the unification of the ancestor dragon and the world is united.
Either, it is to fight a war that lasts for decades, and in the end no one can be defeated. A treaty allows all small countries and states to have nominal equality.
But at this time, the rituals and music are broken, and it is not yet unified or completely divided, so we can only use the rules we have already had before.
"Autumn Official, Daxing Ren" once said that the diplomatic relations between the princes were asked each other every year, and the Yin was hired and the people were celebrating each other, and the people were celebrating each other in the world.
The same is a diplomatic relationship, question, hiring, and dynasty, which are completely different, but they are common rules within the entire Chinese system. Just like the so-called ambassadors in later generations, they need to be recognized by the world to agree on the common name.
The Song State is generally "chao" in the historical books of Jin and Chu State, indicating that the Song State is weak and the Chu State is strong, and it is called the chapel because it is weak and the friendship between the two countries is strong.
Therefore, Zou Ji satirized the King of Qi in accepting advice, and after saying that he defeated the court, he said that all countries were "official" in Qi.
Neither asking or hiring.
This time, when the Song people captured the King of Chu, it was impossible to use court rituals, but should use court rituals: this time, in order to give both sides a decent attitude, it cannot be said that it was defeated and an alliance, but that the King of Chu brought people to Shangqiu to hunt and hunt with the Song Guild. As the master, Song Gong came to entertain the King of Chu, but it cannot be said that the King of Chu was defeated and captured when the army attacked Shangqiu.
Because this involves a series of things behind it, once the Three Jins attack, they still need to rely on the power of the Chu people to maintain the independence of the Song Kingdom.
This is a good idea. Once Xiong Dang dies, Chu State will immediately fall into chaos due to the inheritance crisis.
Zheng Jun and the prince were nephews and uncles, and the prince was unable to ascend the throne and was seized by his brother. The Zheng people, who were originally close to Chu, would immediately give up their differences with the Three Jins and the blood feuds of South Korea, and escort the prince back to Chu to ascend the throne.
Chen Cai and other countries also got closer to Wang Ziding. They would also rebel against Chu after the crisis of inheritance rights and join the ranks of supporting Wang Ziding.
This chaotic process will last for a long time. The State of Chu will fall into a huge crisis and the Three Jins will be unprecedentedly powerful. In history, it was not until Wu Qi entered Chu that Chen and Cai could be taken back and resisted the attack of the Three Jins. Until the outbreak of the Central Plains War, the people of Chu breathed for a while.
Under this background, the ritual of hiring is very consistent with the situation.
One is the betrothal gift, which is the etiquette of diplomatic relations between two countries with equal status. Just like the Zou State who was separated from the State of Lu, it is absolutely impossible to use the betrothal gift to meet the Marquis of Lu. For example, when Jin and Chu were powerful, the Song, Zheng, Wei and other countries could only go to Jin and Chu after the Second War Resistance Meeting, but not to hire Jin and Chu.
Now that the King of Chu has been captured, the State of Song has the upper hand, but the State of Chu is too large and can only seek equal status of one or two in etiquette.
Second, it is a shame that the King of Chu was captured after all. If this shame cannot be effectively resolved, the hatred will last for a long time.
At this time, it is easy to hold grudges in the world, especially to insult such hatred.
The King of Ji made slander and led to the King of Qi being killed by the Emperor of Zhou. Later, the people of Qi destroyed the Kingdom of Ji, which was the reason.
The Chu people are quite vengeful, and this kind of revenge can even last for hundreds of years.
When Xiong Duo was 50 miles away from his fiefdom, he was so poor that he could only offer the jujube and wood arrows as tribute to the Emperor Zhou Emperor. As a result, he served the Emperor Zhou Emperor together with the Duke of Qi, Duke of Lu, Bo Wei, and Duke of Jin. The Emperor Zhou Emperor was closer to the other four families. When rewarding the ritual vessels, he ignored Xiong Duo's existence.
Hundreds of years later, when King Ling of Chu was approaching King Ling of Chu, King Ling of Chu was still obsessed with this incident and once said: "In the past, our former king Xiong Yi, Lu Ji of Qi, King Sun Mou of Wei, Xiefu of Jin, and Bo Qin of Lu served King Kang of Zhou at the same time. Zhou distributed the nine tripods to Qi, Wei, Jin, and Lu, but our country did not. Now I have achieved great achievements. If I send people to the Zhou Dynasty and ask for the nine tripods to be used as treasures to distribute our country, will the Emperor of Zhou give me?"
This incident that happened hundreds of years ago can be found as a reason to win the stakes, and the Chu people's vengeance has to be wary of.
In this case, although the King of Chu was captured, it was acceptable to both sides to use the betrothal gift of equal diplomatic relations between the two countries as etiquette.
This kind of thing needs to be done in a formal way, so after we discuss it here, we have to send someone to notify the King of Chu and let the King of Chu recognize it before it can be implemented.
In the Chu camp, the various conditions given by the Mozhe and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom have been handed over to the King of Chu. The King of Chu is still under the control of Gong Zaoye, and a strange situation has appeared in the entire Chu camp.
Within the camp, the Yishi of Pei County and the elite Mohist masters controlled the King of Chu.
Outside the camp, the elite Chu people were besieged, and there were also archers prepared. The other camps were ready to fight to prevent the Song people from raiding at this time.
Those silk books for the King of Chu were written in high-sounding ways.
As a public scholar who is in charge of the overall situation within the Chu camp, what I heard was a completely different and more straightforward statement.
This time, the alliance cannot be said to be defeated by the Chu people, but to say that the King of Chu led his people north to hunt and accidentally came to Shangqiu.
However, because he did not notify Mr. Song in advance, Mr. Song did not know, so Mr. Song needed to send someone to tell the King of Chu: It was me who was not entertained.
The King of Chu also had to send envoys to Shangqiu and worship Duke Song again, saying that this was not the fault of Duke Song, but that the King of Chu accidentally came to the territory of Song State and did not notify Duke Song in advance, which was the fault of King Chu.
After the two sides first made a formality, they generally recognized each other's mistakes. The King of Chu wanted to send a doctor to meet Song Gong with jade camphor and use jade zhang as a betrothal gift to express his hope of meeting the Song Gong Alliance.
After receiving the reception, Duke Song also needed to return the jade zhang to Doctor Chu, showing that he valued gifts but neglected things.
