Chapter 236: Receiving Zen and Painting a Gourd (2)
Qi has rich experience in regicide. Not only does it kill the regicide, but it also often eliminates the roots. This is not only Qi, but also the princes in the world are all like birds.
In the rebellion of the five young masters, they killed their brothers and nephews, and the Tian clan had a great time in civil turmoil for twenty years. The people of Linzi had already been numb to this.
If we really talk about etiquette, it would not be that the Tian family would succeed in replacing Qi.
A great nobleman who cannot conspire cannot survive the Spring and Autumn Period. A noble family who can pass on it to this time must have learned the compulsory course of conspiracy and passed on it as a family.
Tian Shan did not have much psychological burden for killing his uncle. If he wanted to blame him, Tian Wu did not die in the chaos. If he died in the chaos, Tian Shan could have been a filial nephew, a brother who protects family affection and a subject who abides by etiquette.
But Tian Wu was not dead, and all this was impossible.
But he doesn't want to be accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of
Because of his special status, he is the crown prince. As long as Tian He dies, he will be more formal in his position.
But now, something seems to be going wrong.
What the strategist said about taking action now is not very perfect.
This time, the Mo family won a great victory in the south of the Great Wall. Linzi was in danger, and nearby doctors also gathered their own private troops to guard Linzi.
There are naturally aristocrats from Tianshan's faction here, and when his father Watan and his brothers divided their forces, more than half of the inheritance left to Tianshan was north of the Great Wall.
But Tian He was seriously ill and did not die. The legitimate prince still hoped that Tian He would die but inherit it legitimately.
Now that things have come to this point, even though he is a little indecisive and expects those things that are beyond his expectations, he has to prepare for the move.
Since you have to take action, you have to consider the attitude of the nobles.
The attitude of the people of Linzi is only the basis of the coup, but the attitude of the nobles is the basis of the rule after the coup.
A coup can rely on the people, but once the people are organized, they will inevitably panic as the monarch.
The difficulty of overcoming this is that the Mohist family won this battle in the south. Any prince could borrow troops, but if they got closer to the Mohist family, they had to consider the attitude of the nobles.
Thinking of this, a counselor said: "Young Master, I have studied the Mohist articles and the meanings of the classics. I have to say that their words make sense, but there is one that I hate and cannot accept. However, I feel that what you are worried about these days is as if the truths mentioned by the Mohist school are still the truth after all."
Tian Shan Shao read the articles of the Mohist school and asked, "What are you hate and unacceptable?"
The adviser said, "The Mo family's righteousness is ruthless, ruthless, and unvirtuous. They write the pride of the scholars, the shamelessness of the common people, the virtues of noble people... all of them write ruthless and cold profits. They have a very interesting saying: some noble people say for the sake of etiquette and virtue, but once their interests are involved, they will reveal their true colors. They shout rituals and virtues, but they are just used to cover up the benefits under them."
This sounds very ugly. Not only Tian Shan, but many scholars around him also find it difficult to accept it. He said disdainfully: "The Mo family has no king, no father, no virtue, but they think that everyone in the world is the same as them, which is really ridiculous."
"In this world, only virtue is eternal and correct. But they have to use profit and things to think that this is eternal...their words have no reason."
The adviser shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I heard from the young master these days that there were endless arguments in the court. Some said they wanted peace, and some said they would continue to fight to wait for the princes in the world to interfere."
"This seems ordinary, but afterwards, I looked at the truths mentioned by the Mohist school and found something interesting."
Tian Shan was stunned and asked, "What did you see?"
The adviser smiled and said, "What I see is what the Mohist school said. Some noble people said that for etiquette and virtue, but once their interests are involved, they will reveal their true colors. They shout etiquette and virtue in their mouths, but they are just used to cover up the benefits under them."
"Most of the people who are in charge of peace have their fiefdoms north of the Great Wall. The reason why they are in charge of peace is that the land reform is actually because the south of the Great Wall is under land reform. They are worried that the fire will burn to their fiefdoms. The Mo family has been saying before that they are for righteousness, not to embezzle other people's land, so as long as they hand over Tian Qing and Tian Wu, they will withdraw their troops."
"No matter whether it is true or false, these nobles hope to make peace."
"The people who are in charge of fighting are mostly the family fiefs south of the Great Wall. In their words, the Mohist family is unvirtuous and rude, and contrary to the meaning of the world. If you don't listen carefully, you will think that this is actually Bo Qin's Lu back then."
This was a bit sharp, and Tian Shan's face was a little uneasy.
When Bo Qin controls Lu, it is wise to pay attention to it. There is no doubt about this.
But if we talk about the country that is most ineligible to talk about etiquette in the world, now Tian Qi dares to be the second, no one has the nerve to be the first.
The adviser disregarded himself and said, "The people who are in charge of fighting often use words such as unvirtuous and rude teachers to describe the Mohist school, and they believe that if they continue to fight, the world will inevitably shake. The Mohist school will be as angry as the thief in the past, so all countries will interfere."
"However, I have calculated that most of these people have fiefs south of the Great Wall, and are now occupied by the Mo family to reform the land."
"If it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence."
"But if it wasn't a coincidence, this would be interesting... In the end, the main war and the main harmony were not related to the morality of the heart, but to the benefit."
Having said that, Tian Shan had already found some taste and said happily: "What do you mean... If you do something now, as long as you can make peace with the Mo family, will you get support?"
The adviser laughed and said, "Young Master is wise. Most of the subordinates of Tian He are captured in Yingyi. Most of the nobles in Pingyin are captured in Jishui. Nowadays, the nobles in the court have the power, those with fiefs in the north, and although the remaining ones are shouting to continue fighting, they are actually not powerful, and only the blood of the family is glorious."
Tian Shan thought about it and asked, "Is there no possibility of interference from all countries?"
The adviser shook his head and said, "The Chu people recognize themselves as the Southern Barbarians, and the Qin people claim to be the Western Rong. These two countries may not interfere. The Zhao people replaced them, and there were many Hu Fengshang, and they were not a country that obeyed etiquette."
"The people of Lu are polite, but they are useless. Wei and Han are against the alliance and fight hard against Chu, Zhao, Zhongshan, Nanjishui and Yingyi. The people of Wei will be shocked and dare not interfere."
"Then, the young master thinks that who can interfere within a few years? If the Mo family continues to fight directly into Linzi, will the nobles resent the people who started the war? If the war does not start, how can the Mo family invade Linzi and change the land?"
Tian Shan thought for a long time and nodded, "You are right. Then, it's time for us to do things."
"But... after success, what should I do? The Mohist school must make more conditions..."
The adviser smiled meaningfully and said, "Who would be the king who wants the nobles to be strong? If the nobles are strong, the king will be weak. If the king wants to be strong, he will be angry with the nobles. Haven't he heard that the reform of Chu was a few years ago? Just like all countries in the country have changed their laws and tried to be strong."
"The Mo family was renovated in the south of the Great Wall. The nobles of Ji and Wen were wiped out. Isn't this the opportunity given to the young master by God?"
"If not, it would be difficult to centralize power. The Mo family helped, not to touch the benefits of the nobles north of the Great Wall, gain their support, and suppress the nobles south of the Great Wall."
"Besides, many of them are loyal to Gongziwu. Since Gongzi has no ambition of Duke Huan, why should they use Guan Zhong more? Besides, if there is Guan Zhong among those people, why would they be defeated in both battles and lost to Jiwen for a hundred thousand troops?"
At this point, Tian Shan couldn't figure it out, it was beyond his understanding.
Just as I was about to continue asking, someone outside urgently reported that it was the Lord who invited the Prince to the palace to discuss matters.
A group of strategists said one after another: "Young Master, you must not go. The king is old and weak, and the young master is defeated by Yingyi. You are invincible. The only thing that can defeat you is death."
"If there are soldiers in the palace, the great things will be over. If it were in the past, the king might not be able to do this, but now the situation is not with him, so the young master must be careful."
In fact, there are many excuses for not going, but once you use excuses at this sensitive time, it is equivalent to declaring that you are going to go against Tianhe.
Tian Shan was a little panicked, worried that if things didn't work, he would die. He was also worried that he would not do well and bear some unnecessary infamous reputation. He seemed to have not been fully prepared yet, and if he turned against him at this time, he might fail.
However, for the strategists around them, in addition to the kindness of the head of the family, they also supported Tian Shan, only when Tian Shan came to power, could they show their strength.
Most of their origins are low-ranking nobles, which is the closest way to the temple. They cannot tolerate the danger of Tian Ya being under house arrest or being killed.
The confidants knelt down one after another and advised, "Young Master, if you don't take it now, you will be harmed by it! If the Mo family can stop Gongziwu, how can they tell you first? If Gongziwu leads his troops back and the king supports him again, how can you deal with it?"
"The king and the lord are unrighteous, so that the Qi and the country are about to perish. The 100,000 powerful troops are lost in Wenji, and the people are resentful and angry, and they miss the Jiang Qi's rule. At this time, you must consider the foundation of the ancestors after Jing Zhonggong."
"For the country, you will stop war and make peace and benefit the country."
"Yu Family, you protect the ancestral temple and make the Tian family last for a long time."
"You can't hesitate any more."
Looking at the unanimous advice from all the people, Tian Shan said bitterly: "If you succeed, it will depend on your strength. It's just... I'm just afraid that things will not be accomplished."
A group of advisers said: "Young Master, now the people of Linzi are at ease. The young master raises his arms and shouts, and the people will definitely respond. As long as hundreds of soldiers attack the palace and follow the story of Jiang Qi in the past, major events can be settled."
"When Linzi is in hand, he can make peace with the Mo family. Even if Gongziwu leads his troops back, Linzi will change hands and the Mo family will interfere, how can he win?"
Following the story of Jiang Qi back then, this is exactly the path Tian He took back then. Now the strategists around his nephew are learning and want to instigate a coup.
Seeing this, Tian Shan finally asked a question.
"I don't want to be the name of killing the monarch, or the name of killing the kins. If I don't abdicate..."
The strategist immediately said: "If you do not abdicate, as long as you seize the palace and guard it strictly, the king and the lord will starve to death without food and drink in the palace."
"He starved to death, so why did you kill him? How could you bear the name of regicide and genius?"
"Today, the king invited the prince to the palace and had the intention to kill. It's not too late, and today we should do a big deal."
