Chapter 172 Unshakable Power (2)

For Prince Yan, the news that the 60,000 troops of Qi were wiped out in the Battle of Nanji River was enough to dance, but if the news of the entire Linzi Army being wiped out, he would be so happy that he would not be able to sing loudly.

If the Mohist family could win a great victory against the Linzi Legion like the Battle of the Southern Jishui River, regardless of whether Tian Wu was captured or not, Tian He's prestige would be reduced to the extreme.

The people of Linzi will inevitably be angry and resentful. At that time, they will raise their arms and make peace with the Mo family. Then some rumors will be spread, such as: Only when the unrighteous king can they be reconciled... Such a big thing can be settled.

The Wei Kingdom was swinging between Jin and Chu, and because the Marquis of Wei chose to form an alliance with Chu, he was expelled by the people who were worried about revenge of the Jin people. This is a history that can be learned from.

After taking Pingyin from the Mo family, Tian Shan basically understood the Mo family's plan. He felt that the Mo family must be preparing to besiege Linzi to force Mr. Tian Qing to return to the army.

In this way, the army returned in vain and the people in the army were panicked and worried about their families. Then the Mo family could have enough opportunities to ambush halfway, so that Uncle Tian Shan's power could be completely pushed down.

So since the Battle of Nanji River, Tian Shan restrained his excited expressions and worried about the country and the people every day, and made repeated suggestions.

In the court, the prince's expression was worried about the Qi country and ancestral temple, and he could always cheer.

"Qi has been established for six hundred years since Taigong Wang was granted the title of Yingqiu. Except for the slander of the lord of the king, the prince Jing moved the capital to Bogu, Linzi had never been in war."

"Duke Xi is a small bastard and Duke Huan is a hero. By the time the Three Jins invaded Qi twenty years ago, Linzi had never suffered any war."

"Now, Linzi people are on the expedition. Although the population of Linzi sweats and rains, they have never defended Linzi. Moreover, tens of thousands of young and strong are outside, and the city is stopped by the old and weak. The Mo family is famous for attacking and defending the world. One day, one day, one month breaks Pingyin, and the technique of attacking and defense has passed away from Mo Di, and Linzi is afraid that it will not be able to defend."

"At this time, we should urgently summon Tian Qing back to protect the capital. If the capital is present, we can still expect Wei and Han and other countries to mediate. If the capital is lost, Wei and Han will be afraid of the Mo family's power and dare not come forward. By then, the country of Qi will be in danger."

"Besides, although Jiang Qi lost his virtue, there were many ignorant people. Lu Dao had a fief in a city, and had no virtue or merit, and there were still many scholars following him... If Linzi lost, I am afraid that the things that Tian did according to the will of heaven would be questioned by the ignorant people."

He looked loyal and believed in the military power of the Mo family very much. In fact, he really believed in the military power of the Mo family. After analysis, the strategists told him that this must be a strategy for the attack of Qi and to rescue him and to ambush halfway.

Moreover, even if the Mo family did not think so, then when Tian Qing's army returned and the Mo family besieged Linzi, the people would inevitably resent. At that time, he would praise the righteousness and follow the governor of the Song Dynasty in the past, saying that he should punish the unrighteous king for the benefit of the people. He could not only gain the support of the Mo family, but also directly overthrow Tian He's rule in a coup.

During this period, Tian Shan’s mansion gathered in a crowd of sergeants, and the nobles were in a row, and there were traffic. How could Tian He not know?

He did not believe that Tian Shan's words were really for the sake of Qi, but he had to agree with Tian Shan's opinion.

As Tian Shan said, after Mo Di's death, the first person in the world to defend and attack the city was the Mo family's siege. The battle of breaking Pingyin for several days forced Tian He to consider Linzi's defense.

The only troops that Linzi can mobilize are left, the old and weak, young and strong, all of them join the army for an expedition. Linzi has not experienced war for hundreds of years. Although the city is tall, it is all built according to the city defense built in the Bronze Age before the emergence of gunpowder, and it is difficult to resist the Mo family's gunpowder siege.

Although Tian Shan had evil intentions, he could not refute what he said. Now, who can guarantee that Linzi can be defended under the Mo family's fierce attack? I am afraid that no one dares to stand up.

If Tian Qing is not allowed to return to the army, Linzi will conquer it. Even if Qi is still there, Qi and Qi are no longer the Tianhe family. So what is the significance of Qi to Tianhe?

Just like the current Chen State was restored, and the prince of Chu State was split and restored. According to the saying, the Tian family was from Chen State, but they did not care about the affairs of Chen State, because Chen State was no longer the Chen State of their family. What's the difference if anyone got it?

The Tian family was extremely united before Tian Chang because they needed to unite against Jiang Qi's forces, against Gao and the big families of the country, against Yan and Bao and other Qi nobles.

But after Tian family followed Qi Qi and Qi land belonged to Tian, ​​civil strife was inevitable. Tian Chang couldn't help but the many bloodlines left by the guests eroded Jiang Qi's power, but also laid the foreshadowing of the family's civil strife.

Although Tian He and Tian Shan are relatives, father, son and brothers are still fighting endlessly. Besides, Yu, uncle and nephew? The two are no longer one family. This is no longer a matter of Qi, but a matter of Qi belonging to the uncle or nephew's private property. If the feudal system is not destroyed by the material foundation, it will not achieve the foundation of the nation.

Tian He couldn't point directly at Tian Shan's nose and scolded: Do you want Tian Qing to come back, do you want the Mo family to ambush halfway and destroy the Linzi army so that you can make a coup?

Because things have come to this point, Tian He can only choose to let Tian Qing and Gongziwu return to the army.

One is that after coming back, you can still have the ability to fight against Akasa, especially in the context of uneasyness after a big defeat.

Second, if Tian Wu doesn't come back, it may be beneficial to Qi State, but he will probably be killed by his nephew. Even if his son avenges himself and then fights him back, he will be dead.

Under the throne, even his son could not be trusted. Tian He did not want to sacrifice his loyalty for his family and paved the way for his son to use his own life. At this moment, he was just a person, a monarch, and a monarch who had seen too many stories of father and son fighting against each other.

Faced with his nephew's ambition, the first person who destroyed the etiquette system in the early years of the Warring States Period actually missed the benefits of etiquette, and he couldn't help but sigh that there are fewer and fewer gentlemen in this world.

I couldn't help but remember the conversation between Yan Zi and Jiang Qi Jinggong, and only smiled bitterly in my heart.

When Mr. Jing built a newly built palace. When he saw the magnificent and sighed with beauty, he said sadly: "After I die, who can live in this grand palace?"

Yan Zi said, "That's probably the Tian family."

When Duke Jing asked what to do, Yan Zi said, "It's only up to you to rely on courtesy."

Gong Jing asked again what kind of etiquette is, and Yan Zi replied: "If it is in line with etiquette, the family's alms cannot catch up with the country. The people cannot move at will, the farmers cannot move at will and are imprisoned on the fiefdom. The people of industry and commerce cannot change their careers. The son inherits his father's business and passes on from generation to generation. The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the nobles are the nobles, and the untouchables are the untouchables, which cannot be surpassed and the hierarchy is the rituals."

When sitting in Qi Xiang's seat, Li was the biggest obstacle for Tian's family to proclaim Qi. He had to direct and act as a political farce, borrowing the Mohist morality and temporarily confirming the legitimacy of his prostitute Qi.

But after the Zhou emperor obtained his title, this etiquette became an excellent thing again. If everyone abides by etiquette and the people do not change their careers, the Mohist remarks will not be believed, and there is a difference between high and low; if everyone abides by etiquette, the throne of the king, the minister, and the throne should be passed on to the legitimate son, and someone would have to object to the nephew, which would violate etiquette; if everyone abides by etiquette, how could his nephew have ambition?

The collapse of rituals and music caused the Tian family to take charge of the country of Qi, but at this time it became the root cause of civil turmoil in Qi.

Knowing that the prince was ill-intentioned but could not deal with it, he could only endure it. This was something that Tian He had never experienced in his life.

He and his brother murdered the elder brother, the car broke the younger brother, and forced Jiang Qi away. It has been smooth sailing so far. It was a very simple thing for two generations to completely erase the existence of their elder brother and nephew. It must have made the future generations even Tian Hao and Tian Shan's life unclear, but they never expected to get out of the Mohist school.

After getting rid of the intrigue between uncles and nephews in the court, Tian He went to the temple to worship and pray, and the Emperor Gaozu worshipped in the temple was Huangdi.

This was the result of Tian's careful thinking, and it was also the result of careful consideration of Tian's sacredness in the generation of Qi. When Tian He was granted the title of Emperor Zhou, the Mohist principle of "benefiting the people and making righteousness" could be discarded like broken straw sandals.

In one sentence, Confucianism always calls Yao, Shun, civil and military; Mohism regards Dayu, who has been basking in wind and rain, and even the internal periods of the Mohism are based on Dayu as the calendar: The Mohism regards the year when the Tushan Conference casts the Nine Cauldrons as the first year of Jiuzhou, and it has been more than 1,600 years.

In addition to the reason why the Mohist family regarded Yu as the saint, they chose the Tushan Conference to cast the Nine Triads as the first year of Jiuzhou, both because of the Nine Triads and because of the legend of gunpowder fabricated by the Mohist family: the love between Dayu and Tushan Nujiao was because the gunpowder exploded the mountains blocking the river, which led to the marriage of Dayu, who could not get married without water. This is a story that began to spread throughout the world more than ten years ago.

As for the test of time, the Qi Kingdom, which was "Qi people worry about the sky", was the Sanke after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, used to continue the sacrifices of Dayu. The Yue Kingdom considered itself a descendant of Tushan Nujiao, and Dayu was buried in Kuaiji Mountain after his death. It can be verified from the transcendence of the two countries.

However, whether it is Confucianism and Mohism, whether it is Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Zhou, Wen, Zhou and Wu, they are far inferior in generations compared to Huangdi, so the Tian family has been conferred the title of Huangdi as Emperor Gaozu, in order to surpass the Confucianism and Mohism in terms of legal rationality.

Confucianism talks about the destiny of heaven, and Mohism talks about the ambition of heaven, and they all use the past to describe the present. Since we are talking about the past, is there anything more ancient than Huangdi?

Furthermore, Huangdi defeated Yan Emperor and unified the tribes of China. This is destiny.

Tian family is a descendant of Huangdi.

Jiang Qi, the surname Jiang, was the descendant of Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan was born in Jiangshui and took water as his surname. First there was Jiangshui and then the surname Jiang. Jiang Qi can be regarded as an orthodox descendant of Emperor Yan.

The ancestor of Tian’s family was Hu Gongman, Hu Gongman was Youyu family, the ancestor of the De family of Youyu family was the great-grandson of Huangdi, and the Chen State was Sanke and Chengyu sacrificed.

The Tian family’s destiny was the reproduction of the fate of the Battle of Banquan. Huangdi defeated Yandi. Then, wouldn’t it be fate that Huangdi’s descendants replaced Yandi’s descendants Jiang?

Tian He did not believe in destiny at all because he wanted to use destiny to gain legitimacy, and those who used destiny were the least believe in destiny.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to believe in destiny, but also to astrology, asking whether the Xunwei Su could see the fate of Qi.

After praying for a long time, a close minister suddenly rushed in, and the joy that could not be concealed in his words said loudly: "Your Majesty! You are the country of Qi, and you are worried about the country! You are seriously ill and unable to manage the government, and the Mohist family has no leader!"

Tian He, who was praying, suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "Be serious about this?"

The close minister said, "It is true and true, and the Si Shang is a starry night reward."
