I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 21 The Yao of Zhi's
That's "Conglong Zhigong" and "Jane in the Emperor's Heart"!

Not to mention anything else, it is always better to get close to the owner during the struggle than to follow after the owner has already established meritorious deeds.

It is definitely more beautiful to let others know that you are such a person than to have no impression at all. It is naturally more beautiful to be valued.

There are often masters, but not everyone has the opportunity to follow early.Those who are aware of the future direction of Lao Zhi's family look at Zhiyao very eagerly, all because of their status, fiefdom, servants, money... the future will be controlled by Zhiyao's power of reward and punishment.

Seeing possible shortcuts, the living no longer care about the dead, they only think about how they can get the appreciation from Zhiyao.

Zhiyao found out how eagerly they looked at her, and thought to herself: "Power is as sweet as it is."

To put it bluntly, someone always needs someone to set it off to show the difference. The difference in status is that people with low status are obedient, flattered and envied, so that it can show the use of the high status of the high status.

Within half a month, only "Father Huang" Zhiyao confiscated seven families, most of them were retainers, and a small number of vassal nobles, without exception, killed their patriarchs, made their clansmen slaves, and confiscated all their property.

If it hadn't been for the late Spring and Autumn Period, that is, the era when rites were broken and music was broken, even the suzerain could not kill the nobles who depended on him at will, only the monarch had such power, and even the monarch could not do extreme things such as confiscating property.

The problem is that the times have changed, and many things that could not be done before have become a matter of course now.

There were seven people who ransacked their homes alone, and even more people lost their positions, and were replaced one by one by Zhiyao's team.

It was not without resistance during the process. For many families who committed crimes, when the master died, the heirs led the clansmen and subjects to rebel.

After all, now is an era where the master is in charge of everything, which means that one person decides the fate of most people.

It is also an era in which the ministers of the ministers are not the ministers of the king.Since the monarch can command his own ministers, he cannot leapfrog to command the minister's subordinates.

Zhishi's vassal nobles also had their own vassals and "scholars", "disciples" and subjects.The "scholars", "disciples" and subjects belonging to each noble only recognize their own masters, and they do not accept orders and instructions from higher levels.

In the face of absolute force, any resistance is a dying struggle. While increasing the number of bloodshed, there are more slaves.

Zhiyao finished the cleansing of "Father Huang", and then spread to the surrounding area, ransacking homes and killing people throughout the winter.

Due to the very slow speed of information transmission, what happened ten miles away will most likely take several months to spread. Many retainers and vassal nobles of the Zhi family do not know that the old Zhi family has been cleaned and stay at home. I was treated straight.

Zhishen and some reliable members of the Zhi family were doing the same thing. Those who were eliminated may not have committed crimes, and many of them just didn't take the master's family seriously.

Of course, disrespecting the master is a sin in itself, and it deserves to be dealt with.

There will definitely be people who have been wronged in this wave of purges, but they are the few who have been sacrificed in the "big picture".

Because there was a lot of movement in Zhishi's cleanup, especially when there was a rebellion, even though the rebellion was suppressed, the news would naturally spread.

What the old Zhi family was doing was widely circulated, and contributed a new idiom called "Take care of the overall situation" for Zhuxia, and based on what the old Zhi family was doing, the background allusion of "Take care of the overall situation" was produced. (The original idiom comes from "20 Years of Strange Status Witnessed" in the Qing Dynasty)
First of all, each family understands that the Zhi family needs to stabilize its internal affairs, and they all think that the Zhi family really knows how to choose the right time.

In terms of the situation, it is really appropriate for Lao Zhi's family to do this now.Otherwise, at any other time, there must be outside intervention.

Now, the Zhao family, the Han family and the Wei family are forming an alliance to fight against the Fan family, the Zhongxing family and some small and medium families. They must not take the risk of becoming an enemy of the Zhi family and interfering in the internal affairs of the Zhi family.

Until the arrival of the spring season, the Zhi family dare not say that the old problems have been cleared up, but the situation is definitely better than before.

What made the people of Jin and some other countries who were interested in observing was that Zhiyao from the Zhi Clan came into their field of vision and found out about some of the things Zhiyao did. Just Zhiyao's decisiveness was enough for them to pay attention.

Many families use Zhiyao to educate their own heirs, making Zhiyao a "other person's child" and using it to teach their own children, making Zhiyao do not know how many children will hate him.

A year later, Zhiyao was ten years old.

After the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, Zhao's private army began to gather near "Handan" from various places.

And last year, at the beginning of the ether, it should be around October. Zhao Ji, the son of Zhao Wu, raised the banner of revenge in "Handan" and formally declared war on the Zhao family.

What's more interesting is that Zhao Ji said that he wanted to take revenge on the Zhao family, but Handan Zhao put on a posture of sticking to "Handan" and did not send a single soldier to attack the Zhao family's fiefdom.

What's more interesting is that the Fan family and the Zhongxing family have assembled an army, but they have not set off to the surrounding area of ​​​​"Handan". mouth".

The "Sui" land is in the middle and upper reaches of Fenshui, very close to Wei's "Lv" land, and taking "Lu" land can directly threaten Zhao's "Zhao" city.

And "Hukou" is on the west side of Taihang Mountain, about two hundred miles away from "Handan", and can directly attack the Han family's fief to the west, and then threaten "Xintian".

When Zhao's army was approaching "Handan", Zhao Yang was not in the army in person. He stayed in "Xintian" and repeatedly asked to see the king and repeatedly lobbied for forgiveness.

For what?It is the one that "the first culprit dies".

What is the responsibility?To assemble a private army without authorization and go to attack "Handan".

It is very likely that Wei and Han were very frightened by the location of the Fan family and Zhongxing's army, and Wei and Han also joined the queue to persuade the monarch.

"Aren't the monarchs afraid of being unknown in later years?" Zhiyao just got the news from 'Xintian', saying that the monarch defined the response of Zhao Juqi in Handan and the response of the Fan family and Zhongxing family as rebellion.

In fact, the monarch stopped acting at all, indicating that he wanted to kill all the high-ranking families, and even urged to start the fight quickly.

After the monarch completely tore off the camouflage, he ordered Zhixuan, Wei Lu and Han Buxin to help Zhao Yang, and at the same time ordered the rest of the nobles in the country to assemble an army, with the intention of killing Fan, Zhonghang and Handan Zhao at once. posture.

What about the nobles who fully understand what is going on?
Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin, who were defined as rebellious, directly abused the monarch.

Due to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the rest of the people could only obey orders and assemble somewhere. Only Zhiyong was sick... Maybe he was really sick, anyway, Zhishi just didn't participate in the civil war for the time being.

For the Zhao family, it was an arrow that had to be launched, and the soldiers immediately launched an attack on the city of "Handan"...
