Chapter 99 Wei

Therefore, Tian He will not give up.

Not only will he not give up, but he will react faster than Wei. What he is worried about is that Wei will take this opportunity to intervene, and it will be even more difficult to deal with in Si Shang.

In the view of the Mo family, the Wei State now has five sieges and ambushing on all sides, that is, a dog will die within three to five years.

But in the eyes of Qi, Wei was still the overlord of the world and expanded everywhere.

The Xihe River attacked Qin, crossed Taihang to destroy Zhongshan, attacked Nanyang, swallowed Zheng land, supported Chen Cai and fake Chu, occupied Linqiu Chengyang, and interfered in Zhao's internal affairs...

The attack on all sides and the comprehensive expansion of the strategy are also hidden behind the huge risks seen by the Mohist school.

However, Tian He had not yet seen the crisis facing Wei State. His habitual thinking in recent years has restricted him. Wei State is invincible, unbeatable, and invincible. Destroying the country is like a joke. There are rumors that Wei State is preparing to move the capital to Daliang to plan the Central Plains...

All of this made Tian He feel that if the Fei Kingdom was missed, the fat meat on Si Shang would never have a chance. Now this fat meat has the hard bones of the Mo family, but can the new policy of the Mo family last? Will this system of selecting people as giants have a civil strife like the dispute between the princes of various countries? Once the interests of various countries are threatened in the future, will all countries work together to divide it up?

These are things to consider in the future and future, and may even take ten or twenty years or even longer.

Tian He is old.

So he had to consider his son and the Qi State, which is now his own family, so he had to consider it for a long time.

How many years can he live?

After my death, my nephew takes office. How can my son kill his nephew?

After my death, how can the doctors from my brother's faction weaken their power?

Can you do it if you want to centralize power without prestige and lack the deterrence of military strength?

How can we centralize power without war? How can we let those wise men of other surnames stand out and form non-noble powers that depend on the king to fight against the huge relatives of the family?

All of this, Tian He was considering right.

Now, he needed to know the attitude of the Mo family and the attitude of the Wei State in order to make the final decision.

My son is right. Once those doctors and nobles join Qi, then Fei's affairs will be Qi's internal affairs. As long as you do not take the initiative to attack Fei's capital, this matter does not seem to expand.

As long as you control it within a limited range and gain a foothold in Feiguo first, that is the most meaningful thing you have done for your family descendants before you die.

After thinking for a long time, Tian He said, "I need to send an envoy to ask the Mo family for this matter, and then write a book with the Marquis of Wei, and pay homage to the Emperor, which shows that this matter is for righteousness and rituals, not for the benefit of Qi, or for my own selfishness."

…………

Weidu.

In the palace, there were crowds of people and ministers were talking.

When the news of the merchants in Si Shang set up a speculative company reached the Wei State, the old nobles in Zhongshan had already walked out of the mountains and broke through Jiumen, Fei, Xiyang and other places. The prince Zhi was in a hurry.

Prince Zhang of Zhao State came to power, and Prince Chao was in rebellion. Que, Gebo, Wu'an and other towns raised troops to support Prince Chao. Prince Chao frequently sent envoys to Wei to tell his intention of making friends with Wei, and if the matter was done, he was willing to give up Handan as a thank you.

The King of Chu personally led the new army with 30,000, and 20 bronze cannons to attack Chen. The Prince of Chu made a letter to the urgent task and asked the Wei State to send troops to help. He also said that the Mo family seemed to have intervened, and his technique of breaking the city was as fast as thunder and could not be stopped. There must be guidance from the Mo family behind it.

Another news came that Wu Qi and others had passed Danyang and were about to enter Qin soon. Chu State sent envoys to Qin to cultivate Qin and Chu together. Qin Jun wanted to marry Chu Ji as a concubine to cultivate Qin and Chu's favor.

Han breached the millet again and rebelled. The Zheng people wanted to return to breach millet in Zheng. The sour jujubes annexed by the Wei State, and the Zheng people such as Yangwu also heard that they hoped to restore the city to Zheng, and people's hearts were unstable.

This was the biggest crisis since Wei Ji took office, and the crisis broke out in a year without warning. Wei Ji had been unable to sleep for several days.

Although he was in the reign of the Emperor Wen, although he also attacked from all sides, his national strength was in full swing at that time, and the State of Wei took the lead in reforming, and his national strength was far superior to other countries.

However, after Wei Ji ascended the throne, his literary talent and martial arts were not as good as his father. The hegemony pioneered by the Wenhou had become a burden in his hands.

Today, there were urgent letters from Qi and the requests of the nobles of Fei. These things gathered together, causing chaos in the Wei State.

Wei Ji asked Gongshu Zhuo: "When Ji Chongjun and Zhai Huang were prime ministers, they could resolve the crisis before it occurred. Now that you have become the prime minister and the country has such a situation, shouldn't you share my worries?"

Gongshu Zhuo also knows what happened today, and it is also a crisis in his own situation.

Even though it was forced to leave Wu Qi, it would be impossible for Wei Ji to slap him. If Wei Ji had not trusted these people in other surnames, how could he have had the opportunity to rise to power?

Now Wei Hou questioned himself, as if this was half of his responsibility. Although Gongshu Zhuo had complaints in his heart, he could not express his face.

After he saluted, he said, "There are priorities and urgent matters. These matters cannot be distinguished one by one."

"The lightest thing is the sour jujube, the rebellion of the people of Zheng in Yangwu and Yang. This matter can be resolved, but it does not require the power of Wei."

Wei Ji asked, "How to do it?"

Gongshu Zhuo said: "The hatred of Han and Zheng has lasted for three generations. The Zheng people hated Han. Although our country of Wei has taken the sour jujube and Yangwu, it is just under the new land. It is difficult for the Zheng people to submit. Once more days, they will submit to the emperor."

"Now Han has moved its capital to Yangdi, which is only a river away from Zheng. He rebelled again. Han asked to attack Zheng. The emperor did not want Han people to gain the leniency of Zheng, so he did not allow it."

"Today's matter is urgent, so I can acquiesce Korea to invade Zheng. The Zheng people in Yangwu's land must hate Han and would rather surrender to us than be annexed by Korea. It would be better for us to make a fuss and say that Korea would change land, and exchange Shaoqu and Yewang for Yakuza, Yangwu. When Zheng people heard about it, they would definitely want to return to Wei but not Han, and the people here can be stable."

After hearing this, Wei Ji clapped his hands and said, "The Prime Minister's words are really high-minded. This matter can be solved. Who is more important than the rest?"

Gongshuzhuo said again: "The national affairs of Zhongshan are the least important."

Wei Ji shook his head and said, "The public statement is very wrong. I was a general in the past and captured Zhongshan for my ancestors. Zhongshan is a thousand miles wide, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is also dangerous to Taihang and fertile to the plains. Yan can be controlled in the north, Qi can be defended in the east, and Zhao can be forced in the west."

"Zhongshan was in Wei, just like Zhao, Daliangyu, about Chu, how could you give up? How could you say this is a matter of slightest?"

Gongshu Zhuo said: "If you want to attack Zhongshan, you must pass through Zhao. Zhao's son Zhang has never followed the alliance of the Three Jins. Since he is the king, how can he allow the Wei army to cross the border?"

"If the young master goes up to power, even if Zhongshan restores his country, can the emperor capture it once, but not the second time?"

"So, the affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom are actually Zhao State affairs. If Zhao State affairs are determined, Zhongshan Kingdom can be determined; if Zhao State affairs are not determined, Zhongshan Kingdom will not be determined. Therefore, I say that Zhongshan State affairs are the least."

"The State of Zhao is unstable, and the alliance between the Three Jins collapses, and Zhongshan will no longer return to Wei."

After thinking deeply, Wei Ji nodded and said, "Your words are extremely true. In the Zhao State's change, I want to support Gongzi Chao. Am I doing something wrong?"

Gongshuzhuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, whether the Zhao family is in the Three Jins? It is not about the Gongzi Chao or Gongzi Zhang, but about the strength and weakness of Zhao Wei."

"Did you forget about Zhibo's attack on Jinyang in the past? Why was Han able to surrender to Wei? What is the reason?"

The rebellion between the six ministers of Jin State was an unavoidable history of Wei State, and Wei will naturally not forget it.

When Zhibo invited Han and Wei to work together to destroy the Zhao family and besiege Jinyang. But in the end, Zhao family successfully instigated Han. Wei rebelled in the battle, and Zhi family has been in a slump since then.

The land of the Three Jins, the mountains and rivers on the outside, theoretically, the Three Jins are still the three ministers of Jin, and their joint efforts are expanded outside, and no one in the world can defeat them.

But how can the three families be without selfishness?

Wei and Han worked together to exclude Zhao and prevent Zhao from being involved in the Central Plains.

Not to mention the fact that the Three Jin Alliance, which has been destroyed in name only, was when Han, Wei and Zhi worked together to defeat the Zhao family, but they had already fought to Jinyang City. As long as the city was destroyed, they could still betrayed, let alone now?

South Korea's dependence on Wei was due to the fact that South Korea could work together to expand in the Central Plains with Wei. With the fat meat of Zheng and the threat of Chu, the cooperation between the two sides was really close.

But what about Zhao State?

After Gong Zhonglian's reform and part of the Mohist school entered Zhao, Zhao State became stronger.

Even if the alliance is signed today, even if Zhao Gongzi Zhang cuts his arm and vows to the heavenly alliance: Zhao will definitely attack the Central Plains in the future, Zhao will abide by the Three Jin alliance, Zhao will only go to the bitter and cold land and will never covet the fertile land of Wei... Can Wei Ji believe it?

I won’t believe it even if I beat you to death. Everyone started their own business by conspiracy and alliance. On that day, Zhibo attacked Jinyang and the three families refuted their bloody oaths. What’s the use?

Wei Ji woke up from Gongshuzhu's words and said, "In your opinion, Gongzi Chao, Gongzi Zhang... they cannot believe what they say? If Zhao State is weak, then they will naturally say that the three Jin alliances work together; if Zhao State is strong, they will not abide by even if they are vowed?"

Gongshuzhuo worshipped: "Your wisdom is exactly this. Just like how did the ancestors support Prince Ding back then? Is Prince Ding a wise man? Is it for justice? Or will the prince Ding be sure to have a good relationship with Wei if he enters Chu?"

Wei Ji suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It is because the prince Ding is weak and the king of Chu is strong. It is because the prince Ding can weaken the Chu State, making Prince Ding Chen Cai depend on Wei."

Gongshu Zhuo bowed again: "That's the reason."

"Zhao Prince Zhang is a virtuous person who built a city in Handan. He also had the help of the Mohists. The wise men were recruiting and their strength became stronger. He was also the son of the Marquis of Lie, and the righteousness of orthodox is in hand, so he is the strong."

"Mr. Zhao Xian was not as good as his brothers, but he was the son of Wuhou. There were also nobles in the court, but his strength was not strong, so he was weak."

"Prince Zhang got the learning of Gong Zhonglian and the knowledge of the Mohist school, and had the heart to change the country with a centralized power."

"If the young master Chao wants to gain throne, he must recognize the feudal system and promise land power to gain support."

"So... do you like a Zhao State after the centralized reform? Or do you like a Zhao State that is divided into feudal aristocrats and has more power?"

"Do you like the Prince of Zhao. The Prince Zhang's rebellion has spread thousands of miles and killed and injured tens of thousands of people? Or do you like the Prince Zhang's succession to the throne to be stable, the officials congratulate him, the political clarity, and the great rule of Zhao?"

"Do you like a Zhao State, who swears to make a good relationship with Wei, but has 100,000 bronze cannons and 100,000 soldiers? Or do you like a Zhao State, who has suffered internal and external troubles, and is in chaos. If you don't rely on Wei, you will not be able to maintain stability?"

"Please choose these three differences."
