I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 197 Everything is under control

How to determine the new position of the state of Jin?
A long time ago, the order of positions was determined by the monarch. Basically, whoever was elected was considered unlucky, and not elected was considered lucky.The reason is that at that time, owning a position was more about giving, or a situation of continuous losses.

Naturally, at that time, the male clan of Jin State was very powerful, and when the male clan was strong, the monarch would be awesome, until some "Qing" who were born in the male clan played a gorgeous role in office and turned into the Qing clan, which suddenly made the king of Jin and the prince The lord of the clan was completely dumbfounded.

Later, the strength of the Qing family was almost equal to that of the public family, and it became profitable to hold the position. It was the turn of each "Qing" to control the diplomatic rights with the other princes, and it was even more profitable to be able to obtain "contributions" from other countries. If you earn money, your position will become a fragrant bun.

Until the state of Jin intercepted the tribute from the princes from Zhou Tianzi, the strength of the royal family and the princely clan of the state of Jin lost balance, basically dooming the future of the king of Jin and the princely clan.

Since when did the noble families of Jin take full control of power?In fact, this step was completed in the hands of Zhao Yang.

Now, who will be the "Yuan Rong" of Jin?

According to the original rules, that is, the sequential succession system, it is reasonable that Zhongjun Zuohan Buxin will take over the post of "Yuanrong".

But right?If it is said that before, that is, this time, the various families did not show their muscles, Han Buxin would still take it for granted to take over the position of "Yuan Rong".

What is the situation now?The Zhi family pulled out four legions, the Wei family announced the assembly of three legions, and the Han family recruited two legions with all their strength.

In the follow-up, that is, if there is a next call, it will not be pulled out to fight a national war or a private war. If the various families show their muscles, the scale of the assembled army will definitely increase.

The Zhi family has drawn out four "armies" of troops. If the position is re-established, do you know what to say?

"Master Zhi is virtuous, so Shen should be the minister." Han Buxin backed down and recommended Zhishen.

What is virtue?Wude is abundant, do you understand?
Hu Jie immediately said: "It should be so!"

Wei Xuan was depressed in his heart, and kept nodding on the surface, saying that Zhishen's role as "Yuan Rong" is very good.

But Zhishen was full of confusion, thinking: "It's over! My son didn't tell me whether I should fight for the position of 'Yuan Rong'."

With the approval of Han Buxin, Wei Lu and Hu Jie, or Wei Lu's approval, how can the rest compete with Zhishen?

Jin Junwu and Zhao Huo who didn't attend the meeting?They should think about how to protect themselves first, so as not to get involved in such a big event.

Looking at it this way, no matter what angle you look at, it means that Jin has entered an era where anyone with a strong army can occupy a high position.

Who said, "The Son of Heaven would rather have a kind? He who has a strong soldier and a strong horse will be his ear"?Anyway, that's what it means.

Zhishen, who was undecided, just kept smiling, and didn't agree, and didn't refuse at the same time.

In the eyes of Han Buxin, Wei Lu and Hu Jie, Zhishen, who kept smiling, seemed unpredictable, and they thought Zhishen was very personable.

This is a matter of heart-to-heart comparison. If one of them has the strength of Zhi Shi, and then gets the softness of the other "Qing", it is normal to be a little arrogant. Anyway, Xiang Zhishen can't maintain a humble temperament.

Zhishen felt that it was better to talk about other things first, and said: "The Zhao family needs to give an answer within a month, and there is another matter of declaring war that needs to be sealed by the king."

Some programs should always go, right?For example, officially declare war on Zhongshan.

When everyone heard this, they felt more secure.

Look, Zhishi is so powerful, Zhishen still acts according to the rules, it couldn't be better.

And up to this point, Han Buxin, Wei Lu and Hu Jie have accepted the fact that Zhishen will be the "Yuan Rong". If they are unwilling or have other thoughts, they will only show it if they are stupid.

Han Buxin said: "I will go to 'Jinyang' personally, and I will make Mrs. Zhao reply."

Wei Xu and Hu Jie didn't say a word, they were waiting to come up with a charter for the ranks below "Yuan Rong".

In the end, Zhishen watched with a smile all the way, but it was Han Buxin, Wei Lu and Hu Jie who saw Zhishen like that, and mistakenly thought that Zhishen got what he wanted and would not interfere any more, and Han Buxin, Wei Lu and Hu Jie needed to do it on their own compete.

Therefore, the order of positions has hardly changed. Zhishen became the "Yuan Rong", Han Buxin continued to serve as the middle army assistant, Wei Lu was still the upper army general, Hu Jie was promoted to the upper army assistant, and Zhao Huo of the Zhao family became the The next general, the position of the next military assistant is vacant.

How long Zhao Huo can serve as a general depends on what choices he will make later, he may continue to sit down as a minister, or he may be buried in office.

The new candidate for the post was reported by Han Buxin, and he did not get Jin Junwu's seal to complete the procedure immediately.

"My lord is 'Yuan Rong'?" Zhiyao was not surprised at all, and she was sure before it happened.

Zhishen asked, "Yao thinks it's feasible?"

Zhiyao thinks her father is very cute sometimes.

If there is nothing wrong, the new list of positions must have been in the hands of the monarch, and Han Buxin, Wei Lu, and Hu Jie have all approved it. The monarch is no longer willing to stamp his seal for the sake of Jin's decency. The difference is whether the monarch can occupy it. Nothing good.

Zhiyao said: "If there is no accident, the king will die to protect Zhao Huo, and then plan to give the Zhong family the post of military assistant."

Which Chung?It is the Zhong family formed by the merger of the Jia family, the Dong family, the Ji family, and other six families in the public family.

Zhishen is still waiting for Zhiyao to tell clearly whether he can serve as "Yuan Rong".

"Your Majesty can agree to arrange who is the next military assistant, but... Your Majesty needs to advise the Zhao family, and leave 'Jinyang', 'Zhao', and 'Pu' leeway." Zhiyao said.

No matter what, it is impossible for the Zhao family to hand over "Jinyang". The other "Zhao" land is their ancestral land, and "Pu" is on the edge of the Hu family's fiefdom.

The Zhao family who retained these three fiefdoms lost about [-]% of their strength. Not only did all the benefits gained from the civil war come out, but all the cities that Zhao Wu and Zhao Cheng acquired in the era of Zhao Wu and Zhao Cheng also disappeared.

Zhishen is not stupid, but he is not used to using his brain so much. After thinking about it, he asked: "My family has 'Fat', 'Drum', 'Gaiyu', ... the Northeast places, and 'Guanshi', 'Wulu'. "Henan land?"

That's right, Zhiyao has given a very detailed merger plan before.

Zhiyao nodded first, and then said: "'Yuan' cannot be given to the Wei family, but to the Hu family."

There are already enough grain-producing areas in Wei's family, so won't they fly if they get "Yuan"?

Zhishen asked: "How to deal with 'Wen'?"

The largest grain-producing areas in the state of Jin are "Yuan" and "Wen". Many families used to fight openly and secretly for these two places, including the Zhao family. , their end is not very good?
Zhiyao could tell that her father was very greedy for the "warm" place.

If Zhishi has ideas about Zheng Guo, it will be crucial to win "Wen".

In the original history, it seems that the Zhi family got "Wen", and then the goal was to engage in Zheng Guo?

To be honest, Zhiyao also really wants to get "Yuan" or "Wen", but getting a good place is compared with the overall strategy. A firm strategic direction is far more important than getting a grain-producing area.

Zhiyao thinks that giving the "Yuan" to the Hu family is a good solution. With the "Yuan", the Hu family can be greatly supplemented, and it can also plant a nail for the Hu family and the Wei family.

Then, after Zhishen served as "Yuanrong", he could allocate power to the fief, and it would not be so easy to move "Wen" after taking away "Yuan". It depends on whether there are any families who want to grab Wei's.

"My family doesn't want it, I'm afraid no one would dare to snatch it from the Wei family." Zhiyao thought to herself.

After thinking for a while, Zhiyao said: "Your Excellency, you can make an appointment with all the families. This time, we will attack Zhongshan and judge rewards and punishments based on merit."

So, including the Zhi family, don't anyone ask for a piece of the Zhao family's fief first, and grab the share based on the record?
Zhishen breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and said joyfully, "Very kind!"

"?" Zhiyao was a little confused, she didn't understand what Zhishen was so happy to do, she was stunned, she reacted, and said quickly: "Only 'Wen' and 'Yuan'."

Omg!

If the division of the Zhao family depends on the record of attacking the Zhongshan Kingdom, what about other families?Simply say that Zhishi's wave is all over.

Even if the Zhi clan pulled out four legions and shocked everyone, once the Zhi clan took too much of the Zhao clan's territory, especially "Yuan" and "Wen", wouldn't it force all the families to join forces? Get up and do Zhishi?

Zhishen thought for a while and said, "It's wonderful not to reject Wei's acquisition of 'yuan' and 'warm', and to reward them with merit."

right?

Anyway, Zhishen will be the commander-in-chief of the whole army at that time, and Zhishen will listen to Zhiyao, who will make the greatest contribution, and there will be a lot of room for manipulation.

Zhiyao can completely do it without leaving a trace and give a certain family more opportunities to make meritorious deeds. At that time, it will depend on whether that family can live up to it.

Because he got the share of the appointment of Xia Junzuo, Jin Junwu can be regarded as stamping on the appointment.

As Zhiyao expected, Xia Junzuo was assigned to Zhong Quan of the Zhong family.

The envoys sent by Jin to declare war on Zhongshan were still on their way, and the armies of Zhi, Wei, Han, and Hu had already begun to march north.

Zhong Quan, who was newly appointed by the Xiajun Zuo, was not told how many troops he would send to participate in the national war. After that, he still gathered three "divisions" of troops, and followed him to the north.

Two months later, the Jin army gathered at the place "Drum".

What is more eye-catching is that Jin Junwu made a trick to sneak up north and reappear when he reached the "drum".

Everyone was very speechless about Jin Junwu's doing this, but it has become an established fact, and it is not easy to drive him back to "Xintian".

The monarch personally conquests, right?The commander-in-chief is naturally the monarch himself.

What if Jin Junwu messes around without knowing each other?He may not accomplish anything, and bad things are very likely.

When everyone was worried that Jin Junwu would continue to go crazy, he became rational and acted as the nominal commander, delegating the actual command to Zhishen.

Zhishen has received an elite education since he was a child, so it doesn't matter how good he is, he knows basic common sense, and Zhiyao is behind to make suggestions, so the problem is basically not a big deal.

They are waiting for Zhao's side to give a final answer.

One day, Han Buxin came to "Drum" from "Jinyang" and brought Zhao's answer.

The Zhao family still does not have a head of the family. After discussion among the clan, they are willing to give out fiefdoms to reward the families who have made great contributions to the Zhongshan Kingdom.

At this point, it's time for the Jin army to move and go to various places according to Zhiyao's distribution, and then wait for the appointed time to arrive, and launch an attack on Zhongshan Kingdom.
