I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 130 What a big pit!

During a certain period of time, Jin Junwu and Zhao Yang seemed very close.

At that time, Zhao Yang made it clear that he would assist King Wu of Jin to strengthen his family and further strengthen the authority of the king of a country.

The various policies introduced by Zhao Yang, including some of the things he did, were indeed beneficial to Jin Junwu. Only with the support from Jin Junwu did Zhao Yang suppress the wisdom of the "Yuanrong" to a certain extent .

And Zhao Yang, who deviated from the royal family, was actually a [-]-year-old son. Considering that the international situation of Jin State was not good at that time, Han Buxin and Wei Lu among the other "Qing" thought that it might be good to strengthen the authority of the monarch, and felt that it would be good to follow Zhao Yang There's nothing wrong with giving it a try.

Zhao Yang and Jin Junwu's way of getting along changed after Fan and Zhongxing were identified as rebels. It's hard to say whether Zhao Yang broke the disguise, or Jin Junwu demanded too much and Zhao Yang changed his course.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Yang was the master of the Zhao family first, and then the courtier of Jin Junwu. When the authority of the central government cannot reach its peak, the head of the family must first ensure the interests of the family. Only when the interests of the family are guaranteed can the country be taken into account. interests, and the interests of the monarch are not equal to the interests of the country.

It's a bit like a tongue twister, but that's what the so-called "family country world" is all about.

When the interests of the family conflict with the interests of the monarch, let alone the concept of the country, even if the concept of the country has been popularized, how many families are willing to give up their own interests for the sake of the country, and even break up the family for the country?
Regardless of whether it was before or in the future, you can often see ordinary people throwing their heads and blood for the country. Occasionally, nobles, aristocratic families, and elites choose to break up their families when the country is in crisis, and they will definitely be featured in big books.

In line with the principle that the more you lack, the more you make up for, I can only say: I understand everything!

In general, the current situation of the Jin State has changed again. Jin Junwu must still insist on taking back his own authority and power. Zhao Yang may not be the previous Zhao Yang.

Jin Junwu glanced at Wei Lu and Han Buxin respectively, his eyes stopped on Wei Lu, and he thought: "Mr. Why do you want to confront Zhao Yang?"

In the past, it was the Zhi family and the Zhao family who competed in the fox family whether to return to China and have the position, and the Wei family played the role of a neutral faction.

That was the division of roles that Zhibi had discussed with Wei Xuan.

Now Zhibi is dead, let's see if Wei Lu has the courage to stand up and confront Zhao Yang.

"I think that the middle army and the upper army are not enough to maintain the hegemony. The fourth 'army' is better, and the third 'army' is also acceptable." Jin Junwu took the lead to break the silence.

Han Buxin smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, the second 'army' is also difficult, so why the fourth 'army'."

So, Han Buxin is now Zhao Yang's vanguard, doing some things to demolish the monarchy?

However, what Han Buxin said was to some extent the actual national conditions of Jin.

During the period of the Duke of Jin in the state of Jin, the public clan grew slightly, and many small and medium nobles also had the opportunity to rise up, and the public clan and many small and medium nobles united to balance the Qing family.

However, in the subsequent two generations of Jin Zhaogong and Jin Qinggong, the public clan may have been useless themselves, and it was also the capable people of the high-ranking family. Anyway, the public clan has weakened again, especially the public clan of Jin Qinggong’s generation. miserable.

At the same time, in the two eras of Jin Zhaogong and Jin Qinggong, the phenomenon of big fish eating small fish in Jin was very serious. A considerable number of small and medium nobles were either annexed or perished, and more small and medium nobles became members of high-ranking families. vassal.

To put it in the clearest way, although the king of Jin is the king of a country, the problem is a kind of opposition to the royal family.The public family is the confidence of whether the monarch can speak and dare to speak, while the small and medium nobles are the tools used by the monarch to check and balance the noble family as much as possible.

If the public clan weakens, the monarch will not have enough confidence to speak.

The small and medium-sized nobles are weak as a single family, but they can be integrated when there are many, and the monarch can still use them as a fulcrum to achieve certain goals.

Therefore, once the public clan and the small and medium-sized nobles are completely incapable, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom will encounter the same situation as Zhou Tianzi.
In the current state of Jin, there are not many small and medium-sized nobles who are independent, and their strength is hard to describe compared with the noble families.

To put it more clearly, in the era of Jin Daogong, although the Qing family was very powerful, there were still some middle-level families whose strength gap with the Qing family was not too exaggerated. The combination of two or three middle-level nobles could still be weaker in strength. The noble family broke their wrists.

Then, in Jin Junwu's generation, about half of the small and medium-sized nobles in the Jin Kingdom united, and it is estimated that they would not be able to equal the strength of the weakest Han family among the three existing noble families.

Just ask?Faced with this situation, Jin Junwu couldn't get support from a certain noble family, so what could he do.

"The Second 'Army' can't maintain its hegemony." Wei Lu could be said to have spoken.

Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly shifted to Wei Lu.

When Jin Junwu saw Wei Lu's statement, it was hard not to feel excited.

As a result, Wei Xuan said: "Ren 'Qing' is not the only glory, but whether he can bear his responsibility is also one of them."

The reason is this. Don’t think that any family in the Jin Kingdom can get the position of high-ranking official. To become one of the "high-ranking officials" will become the chief general or military assistant of a certain legion. When a national war breaks out, you must be able to draw out the troops within your share. Fill it into the legion participating in the national war.

How many troops were dispatched to the "Qing" in different periods, how many armored soldiers were dispatched, and what proportion of "disciples" should be among them. The state of Jin is still quite strict on relevant requirements.

Taking the situation not long ago as an example, there were at least two "divisions" among the Zhi family, Zhao family, Wei family, and Han family, and sometimes a certain family even pulled out more than one "army" of troops.

So, is there any middle-level family in Jin that can come up with two "teachers" at once?If you bite your teeth, the Xie family and the Zhang family in the middle-level family may be able to do it, but they will definitely use up all the troops of the family. If they can dispatch two "divisions" of troops at a time, they may not be able to use them next time. .

The Xie family and the Zhang family are also two families with a very long history in the state of Jin. Among them, the Zhang family is not completely independent. The Zhang family has become a vassal of the Zhao family since Mr. Zhang's generation, maintaining an illusion of independence.

Knowing that Mrs. Zhang was only pretending to be independent, Mrs. Wei would definitely not let Mrs. Zhang get the position, and Jin Junwu would not be so stupid as to let Mrs. Zhang get the position to break the fragile balance.

As for explaining Shi?They are stupid to compete for the position, and they will definitely behave like a long-term choice, keeping a low profile and at the same time, not even touching the position.

After a long silence, Zhao Yang said, "The Three 'Army' is okay. But why is the Yu family powerless?"

In fact, it is really difficult for Jin to only have two legions to deal with the current international situation. Not to mention continuing to fight for hegemony, self-protection will appear to be very difficult.

Zhao Yang has a lot of selfishness, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to watch Jin lose his hegemony. It is acceptable to accept a new noble family on the premise of guaranteeing his own interests.

"I believe that maintaining the stability of the country is the most important thing!" Zhao Yang paused, seeing that everyone was a little unresponsive, and continued: "The first thing is to wipe out the remnants of evil, and the second is to verify the fields of the families... "

Speaking of eliminating the remnants, Wei Lu and Han Buxin's expressions changed.

At present, the biggest remnant has been peacefully annexed by the Zhishi... No, in Zhibi's words, it is a escrow, and it has become a situation where the Zhongxingshi is hidden in the Zhishi.

In addition, Shi Jishe was too stimulated to cause brain problems, and Fan's posture in the southern border of Jin State was about to smash to death, which made Zhao and Wei uncomfortable.

If Zhao Yang wants to wipe out the remnants, will there be conflicts with the Zhi family?
Then, if Fan Shi could be pushed away in one wave, would Zhao Shi and Wei Shi be so uncomfortable?
Besides, when it comes to verifying the number of acres held by each family, based on the current situation that more acres can be entrusted to more people, the larger the number of acres, it means how many "scholars" and "disciples" there are, and that's not counted. Capital maintains more "envy" existence.

After clarifying the fields and acres of all the families, it is basically clear at a glance which family has how much strength. Are you willing to expose your true strength?
Jin Junwu looked at Zhao Yang with a bit of fascination. He couldn't understand how Zhao Yang could be so awesome, and he wanted to go against all the families when he was about to become "Yuan Rong".

"Do you know what the hell? I'm taking the lead and confirming the authority after 'Yuan Rong'. There are so many voices in the country to restore the hegemony. The Zhao family and the Han family will do it first, and then guide public opinion. The Zhi family and the Wei family will definitely Being erected, the rest of the middle and small nobles dare to resist? In this way, you can still gain the support of the monarch in terms of 'name' and 'vessel', it is impossible to fail!" Zhao Yang was very happy, he likes to be exposed when others don't understand his thoughts With a dazed look on his face.

Jin Junwu first saw Zhao Yang making concessions on the position of Qing, and then heard that Zhao Yang was going to implement the number of ruling steps that he had negotiated a long time ago. While his mind was a little confused, he had infinite expectations for Zhao Yang in his heart. .

"After Zhiqing, Zhao Qing is 'Zhengqing', widow..." Jin Junwu was about to blurt out some words, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Wei Hao eagerly signaled, understood the shape of his mouth, and changed his words: "hold the three'armies' , the vacant position of Qing can be contested by the Fox family, the Xie family, the Zhang family, and the Jia family."

There were a lot of people frowning this time, but no one said anything.

"Zhao Meng is the general of the middle army, Bo Han is the assistant of the middle army, Uncle Wei is the general of the upper army, and Bo Zhi is the assistant of the upper army. The lower generals, the lower army assistants...then they will be conscripted by the princes and compete for success?" Jin Jun asked in the afternoon.

Zhao Yang was the first to express his opinion, saying: "Why limit the Yu family? Anyone who is interested can compete!"

Han Buxin narrowed his eyes.

Wei Lu felt Zhao Yang's deep malice, saw Jin Junwu's expression of excitement, and thought: "This time, the public clan must be re-integrated, and with the pissing nature of each lord, we must play a dog-headed internally. "The rest of the family? Who of them dares to jump out? If you don't get the position, you will become cannon fodder for Zhao Yang to attack the Fan family and the princes; as for the Hu family, don't even think about leaving when you come to Jin."

"This..." Jin Junwu was really excited. He felt that Zhao Yang really had the heart to be loyal to the country, and he should continue to act, so he said: "So, when Zhi Bo returns to the 'du' Then... ahem, the gentlemen will decide on this policy again."
