Chapter 23 Rebirth from ashes (1)

The fate of Song State was not allowed to be decided by itself.

Just like those small countries that fought for hegemony in Jin and Chu.

Just as the envoy of the King of Chu entered Si, in Shangqiu City, the emperor's father Yue Ling was drinking to relieve his sorrow.

The musician played the music of bells and drums, and the emperor's father Yue Ling sang loudly alone.

The mysterious bird of heaven descended and was born in Shang, and the land of Yin was shining brightly. The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang to be in the four directions of the realm.

After the time of his mission, there were nine out of dynasties. After the Shang Dynasty, he was ordered to be defeated and was in Wu Ding's grandson.

Wu Ding's grandson and King Wu were invincible.

The dragon flag is ten cyclical, and the great vegetation is the inheritance. The country has a thousand miles of land and the people are stopped. It is the land of all the seas.

The world comes to take a vacation, and the world comes to take a vacation. Jing Yuanweihe. Yin received the order from Xianyi, what is Bailu?

I sang several times and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The surrounding disciples and subordinates also heard the grief and anger of the emperor's father Yue Ling in this hymn.

"Chu, Wei, Han, Si Shang...whatever is divided into feudal systems and people are the gods, they all want to swallow this fertile land of Song."

After singing, the emperor's father Yue Ling expressed the most thorough emotion, denounced that the distinction between political systems did not allow these great powers to make different choices.

The disciples also sighed, and understood that the emperor's father Yue Ling had great ambitions, or ambitions, and was determined to do something big, so as to revitalize the Song Dynasty and restore the hegemony of Duke Xiang that year.

But nowadays, many nobles have two intentions, some want to join Jin, some want to join Chu, and some want to borrow the power of Si Shang.

But few people consider the future from the perspective of the descendants of Xuanniao, and few people consider the future from the perspective of the country he understood as "Song Kingdom".

Once taxes are imposed, the people oppose it. How can we support soldiers without taxes?

In this great struggle, if we do not tolerate each other as a country, we will either die in Chu and Wei or die in Si, what's the difference?

Deceased in Chu and Wei, would Chu and Wei go to Sanglin Society to continue to worship the tripods of the Shang Dynasty?

Having died on Si, can the Xuanniao nobles still control the fate of the Song Kingdom?

Originally, the emperor's father Yue Ling wanted to use the power of the Mo family, but in his eyes, the Mo family was not a good bird. He was not a gentleman at all, but an ambitious person. Every time he wanted to change, the Mo family would inevitably obstruct it.

He took the lead and thought the Mo family wanted to cooperate with him, but he didn't want the Mo family to just use him to bring back all the conflicts. Now it seems that he did not regard him as an ally from the beginning.

The emperor's father Yue Ling felt that many of these contradictions and resentments in the State of Song had nothing to do with him, and many of them were accumulated over hundreds of years, so he actually did nothing.

But he replaced his father as the chief minister of the Inquiry Yuan, and he basically gave up the country's affairs. When he was in his position, he had to bear all the resentment and accusations.

He thought about the solution, that is, centralization, suppression of the nobles, and division of the excess land of the nobles to the people, thereby expanding the power of the Song Dynasty, temporarily alleviating the various cracks in the Song Dynasty, and then slowly changing.

But every time he wants to solve the problem, he will use various methods to make his transformation impossible.

Now, he has figured it out.

A disciple at the next head also said: "When the Mo family decided on the Shangqiu Rebellion, it seems that they did not have any kindness."

"What the Si Shang emphasizes is that what the superior is, it must be all it is; what is wrong must be all it is. This creates the unity of the government and orders of the Si Shang, as if there is an arm envoy."

"But when we arrived in Song State, we insisted on creating a gentleman's courtyard or a commoner's courtyard. The nobles in Songland themselves have a tradition of interfering in politics, and the Chinese people also like to interfere in politics. They made these two things and quarreled all day long."

"If Song State was like Korea living in the extreme north, there would be no strong country around it, or it would be a good thing. But there were strong countries around it, how could the Mohist family not know that it would be difficult to make the country strong and the people rich?"

"At that time, the throne was not decided, and Dai Huan fled. If the Mo family really helped Song Zhixin, they could work together with the public to concentrate power twenty years ago. I am afraid that twenty years ago, the people of Si Shang did not have good intentions."

"What a hero Mo Zhai, why did he accept a cunning disciple like Dazhishi?"

"What you entrust is not human! What you entrust is not human!"

The emperor's father Yue Ling was disdainful and thought to himself that Mo Di was naturally a hero, but if he had no intention of letting the Mo family go like this, how could he continue to improve his status within the Mo family?

Now it is useless to say that these are all used. It was clear that the Mo family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the chaos in the Song Dynasty to make the Song Dynasty even more chaotic and thus gain a foothold in Si.

If the Mo family hadn't stopped him, the Emperor's Father clan could have completely killed all the nobles who launched the coup and supported the young master to become puppets. The Song State would not have been like this situation where the government orders seem to be one but are actually divided.

The alliance and secret talks that now determine the fate of Song State have bypassed Song State, and the superior countries such as Wei, Han, Chu and Si are all birds of a feather. They bypassed Song State to discuss the fate of Song State. No matter what is not attacking or equality, it is nonsense.

The Mohist family said back then that all countries in the world should be equal and not attacked, but now they do not mention it. Instead, they talked about "determined to one" for the benefit of the world. The emperor's father Yue Ling couldn't help feeling disgusted.

He felt that everyone was seeking his own interests, but few people were truly loyal to the country. He thought of his identity as a Song country to consider the survival and country of Song country.

They are all a group of villains, and there are not many gentlemen in the huge Song Dynasty.

In depressed, another guest said: "Now the disaster is not outside the Xiao Jiang, but probably within the Xiao Jiang. Dai Cong is now learning from the old Prince Bao, and is quite famous among the common people and is called a wise man."

"There is still one way to go now, that is, to follow Dai Cong's path, leaving Dai Cong nowhere to go! After all, the Gong is still asking the Chief Minister of the State Council, and the power is in hand. You can accept Dai Cong's claim."

"The people are ignorant and short-sighted, and value profit but neglect righteousness. They cannot be regarded as gentlemen. They support Dai Cong today because Dai Cong can benefit the bitch. If the people now give the bitch benefits, those people will naturally support you."

When the servant said this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. As long as the emperor's father Yue Ling changed his previous attitude and instead borrowed Dai Cong's morality and call, the people's hearts would naturally belong to the emperor's father's clan.

It was nothing more than breaking with the nobles and becoming a commoner, and electing Duke Song, who lost his fiefdom, but he got the entire Song Dynasty.

However, the emperor's father Yue Ling shook his head helplessly and asked, "Will you raise a hound that is big enough to bite your master?"

"Si Shang cannot support me now. Even if I am completely following Dai Cong's words and completely breaking with the nobles, the Mo family will not support me."

"At that time, they would not say that Dai Cong has the 'heart of Duke Wen' and 'ambition to benefit the people' as they praise Dai Cong now. Instead, they would say that I am a wolfish ambition and that the power of the monarch cannot be uncontrolled, and someone must be restricted..."

"You really think that the Mo family wants to make the people of Song prosperous? You are all wrong. They just want Song to rely on Si Shang."

"Dai Cong was able to receive so much praise from the Si Dynasty. What kind of ambition does he really have to benefit the people? What kind of person is that he can't see?"

"It's just that the Dai clan is even weaker. If you want to succeed, you need to rely on the power of the Mo family."

"But I'm different. I'm too strong. I might bite them one day in the future, so those people in Sihan cannot support me."

"and……"

After saying that, he sighed again: "The fire that incites the people will burn, no one can control it. The reason why it has not become a prairie fire so far is that the Mo family has a better choice to support Dai Cong to the throne. If it cannot be successful, they will definitely burn the fire completely, and the entire Song State will be completely messed up and it will be difficult to deal with it."

"You didn't notice that this time the Mo family was quite quiet? Even a few years ago, the Mo family had many activities in Handan for the dispute between the princes of Zhao State. But the Mo family, which was close to Song State, didn't say anything, and there were not many people promoting it in Shangqiu..."

"On the contrary, the farmers have been promoting more among landless farmers, and they should divide the land equally, and the market and the market is not worth the second price. You cannot understand the truth."

The disciples and subordinates seemed to understand and scolded the dirty methods used by the Mo family.

After sighing, the emperor's father Yue Ling said, "Now if you want to preserve the country of Song and preserve the honor of the Xuanniao vein, you can only die and then live."

"It makes the country chaotic, so chaos has led to panic among the countries of Wei, Han and Chu. They are afraid that they will follow our footsteps. The panic and riots are on their land. They are afraid that the Mo family will increase their power after the Song Dynasty. The Central Plains will be invincible again."

"At that time, we can only rely on the power of Chu and Wei, and we will not hesitate to let half of the people in the Song State be killed and injured by the war, and we will also maintain the country of Song State."

The guests were speechless.

I have tried to use the power of Wei Chu, but the reactions of various countries are very subtle.

There are precedents of the Central Plains War a few years ago. The combat effectiveness of the Si Shang Yishi made the monarchs of all countries need to consider the price: is it worth it to exchange for several cities in Song State for cede bribes at the risk of domestic unrest?

Han was in Zheng State, Wei State had an enemy of Zhao and Qin State, and Chu State was busy with internal reforms. It was too difficult to get them to contribute.

Seeing that all the subordinates were shaking their heads, the emperor's father Yue Ling laughed and said, "You have never thought it clearly, and I have not thought it clearly before."

"It's like you have Wenxuan Baicheng. I use a simple carriage to ask you to do something for me. You will consider how much your losses can be and whether it is worth it. At that time, I'm asking for your help."

"But if I don't ask for your help, but if you don't help, your Baicheng Wenxuan may be lost. Then if I don't give you that simple carriage now, wouldn't you help?"

"White and Chu are bribing, and Wei and Chu are considering how much they have gained and whether it is worth it, so they are unwilling to face the Mo family."

"But why do I have to cede land as a bribe?"

"Song, Wei, Chu, and Han are all close neighbors, like common people's thatched cottages. I let the thatched cottages of Song State burn and the flames rise like a prairie fire. I don't ask Wei and Chu for help, wouldn't they help?"
