Chapter 97: Taking refuge
Time and momentum.
In terms of debate, the people sent by these nobles cannot argue that they win Wei Rang; in terms of number, people who were not humans have become humans under the ambition of equality of people, and people have become humans; in terms of incitement, these nobles talk about virtue but ignore profit, but satirize that those who seek profit are villains; in terms of planning, the Mohist school itself is to separate the world into nobles and common people, and the more severe the rift is, the more obvious it is.
With Wei Rang taking advantage of the situation, the initiative of the scene has been completely controlled by those hidden Mo people, and the public's resentment has begun to brew and vent, and in the end the general trend has been achieved.
Everyone decided to slightly modify the thunderous declarations that Wei Rang said and establish them as constitutional plan.
It also decided that all nobles in Fei's country must go to the capital within one month and swear to recognize this constitution. Then, on the surface, the people in the capital took a step back: as long as the nobles come to the capital to recognize this constitution, the specific laws can be discussed slowly as long as the constitution is good and evil.
In fact, this is to seal off all the retreat routes of the nobles. Once this constitution is recognized, it is inevitable to grant land and distribute feudal obligations, etc., otherwise everyone can rule that those laws are not in line with the constitution and are invalid.
After the debate ended for one day, the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital of Feiguo.
The nobles of the Federated Kingdom, who were detained and placed under house arrest, immediately began to connect and conspire. After the nobles gathered together in groups of three or five, they first cursed the untouchables in a routine manner, and then began to discuss what to do.
"When wood has no roots, it will dry up, and when water has no source, it will dry up. We cannot agree to this constitution in any case. The one-month period will not be delayed. What is the situation outside?"
These nobles are related to the outside world, but they cannot escape from the capital, because once they fail to escape, they will face death, so they cannot run away until they have to.
Now is a last resort.
One person said, "Young Master Fang is still in Wucheng. Why not let us recommend Young Master Fang as the king, denounce the capital as a rebel, raise an army to kill Gongzi Luan for righteousness, invite Qi and Wei soldiers to help, how about it?"
The noble who had just asked about the situation outside immediately shook his head and opposed it: "It has come to this point, and the young master cannot be allowed to be the king. The common people have already risen, and there are also people who are good at knowing the soldiers to govern it... I am afraid we cannot win."
"Besides, what is the price for Qi and Wei to send troops as aid? How are they willing to send troops? Whose fief will be bribed at that time?"
Speaking of specific benefits, the nobles who wanted to put the children of the palace who were originally thinking of pushing them out were speechless immediately.
The vetoer whispered: "It's better to follow Gongsun Hui of Qi, and Qu Yijiu of Chu!"
The nobles were stunned, and their skills understood the key, and they all applauded.
Gongsun Hui of Qi rebelled and knew that he could not succeed, so he attached his fiefdom to Zhao and announced that he would surrender Linqiu to Zhao, so that the Three Jins could send troops.
After the Three Jin Dynasties sent troops, Qu Yijiu was still the lord of Linqiu's fiefdom, but he changed to a monarch who fulfilled his feudal obligations.
Qu Yijiu, the Chu State, opposed the series of centralized reforms and reforms being carried out by the King of Chu, surrendered his fiefdom to South Korea. As a Korean doctor, his interests remained unchanged at all.
Under the feudal system, if you don’t keep me here, I will lead my land to surrender to the enemy country. This is a common thing, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this.
On the contrary, they all figured out the benefits of doing so.
If you just recommend the prince to be the king, it will be just a civil strife in Fei. At that time, even if Qi and Wei send troops, they will only help, at most they will cede one or two cities as a thank-you gift. Whoever cedes may be a question: everyone is working on this matter, why should I cede me?
Moreover, Qi and Wei may not be bothered, and may also have to worry about resistance, and may not send troops after weighing the interests.
But if Gongsun Hui enrolled in Jin and Qu Yijiu enrolled in Han, Gongzi Fang would naturally not be the monarch, but the nobles with fiefs were still nobles.
There is no difference between being a noble in Qi and being a noble in Fei. Only the king cares about the difference.
In this way, it is equivalent to adding land to Qi, and Qi and Wei's interference is justified.
Originally, as a vassal state divided by Lu, the country of Fei should have considered Lu at the first time, but Lu was too weak. They felt that relying on a weak country might not be successful, and it would not be weak once and for all.
Furthermore, because the Qi State's attack on the worst a few years ago, Lu State was also a country that did not attack the alliance of Si Shang. Their surrender to Lu State would probably cause dissatisfaction among the Mo family, and the king of Lu State might not be willing to ask for this hot land.
The relationship between Chu and Mo family was related to the relationship. The nobles of these small countries had little study and could not understand the situation at all. They could only subconsciously think that the Chu and Mo family were allied.
After the Battle of Hanshui, Yue completely lost its hegemony in Huaibei and Si, and it was unwise to surrender to Yue.
Only Qi and Wei countries can surrender.
At this time, a nobleman said, "It's just that the young master was placed in Wucheng at this time, I'm afraid he would not agree to us to surrender to Qi and Wei. He is now scolding Gongzi Luan for committing rebellion and trying to promote justice and summon all the doctors."
The man who proposed to surrender to Qi Wei reached out and made a beheading gesture and said, "It's time for this, the young master will die. You can blame Gongzi Luan. If the young master makes great contributions, how can we surrender to Qi Wei? If the young master does not surrender to Qi Wei, sacrifices will be difficult to protect."
"We can still be doctors when we surrender to Qi and Wei. If the young master lets up his army, we will be killed by the mob of the capital once defeated. As for the alliance to admit the constitutional constitution, it is even more impossible."
"You can send someone to Qi and Wei. After one month, Prince Fang will die in the assassination of a mob. We will surrender to Qi and Wei to revenge Prince Fang."
Everyone praised the good, and the man said again: "We are trapped in the capital now, and we should pretend to be willing to make an oath and constitutional plan, and wait until the time is right before escaping. Gather the troops from the fiefdom and gather in Wucheng to join Qi and Wei."
…………
Qi State, Linzi.
At this time, four years have passed since Tian Heshi was established as a marquis, but if it were to count from the farce on the streets of Linzi that year that exiled the Duke of Qi to call himself protecting the people, it would take a longer time.
Tian He is already old and knows that he may not be able to survive for a few years. Fortunately, he seems to be able to endure his brother to death.
The Tian family started from the origin of the idiom "the thief of the country", which relied on family reproduction and widespread concubines. They couldn't help but only have nominal sons to seek the Qi State.
It was probably because Tian Chengzi was too busy to do it himself.
This method cooperated with the feudal system to lay the foundation for the Tian family to replace Qi. In the early years, nine out of ten of the fiefs of Qi State were all born to the descendants of the Tian family.
But this also made the struggle within the Tian family never stop. During the rebellion between Gongsun, Gongsun Hui, and Xiang Ziniu, the brothers Tian and Tian Hao worked together to finally achieve the final victory.
The result of this victory was that the conflict between the two brothers was increasing, but Jiang Qi had just replaced him and could not turn against him at this time.
Tian He already has a very intelligent son named Tian Wu.
Tian Hao naturally also had a son, so he named him Tian Shan.
Tian Hao's power was huge, no less than Tian He. When Chu came to ask Qi to send troops to rescue Daliang Yu Pass, the envoy looked for Tian Hao instead of Tian He.
Although Tian He is now the Duke of Qi, it is just a balance between the two brothers' respective forces. The next Duke of Qi should be Tian Shan's turn, which is an agreed upon.
In the history of later generations, there is no record of Tian Hao and Tian Shan in "Records of the Grand Historian", because Tian He and Tian Wu completely erased the reality of the father and son, as if these two people did not exist in Qi State at all.
However, in the records of Chu State and the bamboo books of Wei State, the father and son cannot be avoided. After confirming each other, it is possible to imagine how Tian Wutianhe obtained the regime.
It is precisely because of this that the five countries attacked Qi after Tian Wu killed the lord. Because it involved internal disputes between Qi, the Qi State after Tian Wu killed the lord was probably no less than the weakness of his father's Gongsun and Gongsun Hui during the Xiang Ziniu Rebellion, which made small countries like Wei participate in the attack on Qi.
Later generations were called Duke Huan, leaving behind allusions of being afraid of medical treatment, and founded the Jixia Academy. Tian Wu, who used the theory of the Five Virtues to seek legitimacy for himself, is fifteen years old this year.
Now, as a conspirator, he is still young and has insufficient strength.
The power left by Uncle Qi’s father Tian Hao is still large enough.
At this time, Tian He, as the Duke of Qi, had accumulated enough advantages because the battle of the defeat a few years ago was commanded by his brother Tian Hao. A big defeat was a big defeat. Tian He still wanted to thank the Mo family for the pain that year.
Although in addition to the failure of the Battle of the Swordsman, Qi has been stable in recent years. Jiang Qi was deposed because he had already cut his wings loyal to Jiang Qi, so he did not cause any trouble at all. Of course, the contempt of the destiny and bloodline of the people of Qi is the reason for the lack of large-scale unrest.
However, Qi was still not considered a powerful country at this time.
In terms of size, the number one among the princes in the world can also be ranked among the top ones.
Compared with Han, Zhao and Wei who were separated from Jinzhong, and compared with Qin, which had already begun reforms, the Qi of the Tian family can only be regarded as a weak country now.
Originally, Honda Qi's strength was about to be the time when Tian Wu's son, King Qi Wei.
In terms of law, the Jixia Academy explained the legitimacy of the five virtues, and internal centralized reforms and cooking and killing some doctors, externally Sun Bin led the army to change the military system and replaced the archers with crossbows, etc., which allowed the Prime Minister of Xuzhou to become a powerful country in the world.
But now, the family that was enfeoffed by blood was occupied by the vast majority of Qi State.
When the Tian family, who was originally a "subject", became the "monarch", the consequences of this family's feudal division emerged.
When Tian Chengzi did not support the feudal system and did not have many children, it would be impossible for him to succeed in his goal. However, when Tian became the monarch himself, he would inevitably oppose the feudal system and the decentralization of power of the nobles.
Looking at Qi Kingdom, they are all relatives; looking around the world, they are fiefs everywhere.
By obtaining the position of Duke of Qi by the family's extensive feudalization, he had to bear the backlash of the family's feudalization that could not be centralized.
At this moment, Tian He needs a victory, a victory that accumulates prestige, to pave the way for his son to change, centralize power, and kill the remnants of his nephew and brother.
Under the feudal system, monarchs without a great country do not want to centralize power, and there is only a difference between doing and not doing it.
The Tian family was able to gain Qi for a hundred years, and Tian He was naturally willing to use longer to pave the way for his son, completely defeat his brother, complete centralization, and make Qi a great country in the world.
