I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 232 This is a necessary step for Dai Jin

Don't look at how many people Zhiyao gathered, it's actually just a private family war.

Because it is a private war between the family, there is definitely no procedure for declaring war. They will face Zheng Jun, or arrive at a certain city in Zheng State, and just shout why they want to attack on the spot.

The reasons are all ready-made, that is, Zheng Guo once interfered in the civil war of Jin State and did not apologize or make amends.

After Zhong Wu led his troops over, he didn't get a chance to rest and was about to follow the army southward.

"Yao, do you..." What Zhao Bolu wanted to say was whether he would be too harsh on Zhong.

Fortunately, Zhao Bolu was looking for Zhiyao in private. If he did that in public, he would definitely wear small shoes next.

Zhiyao shook her head and said, "It's been agreed on when to send troops, and it's just that Mrs. Zhong came late."

Then again, as expected of Zhao Bolu!
He used to be a very loyal person. Not long ago, he owed the monarch a favor. He couldn't wait to return it to Zhong, and he didn't want to think about the way Zhong got along with the monarch. It seemed a bit silly.

If you want to say which of the several high-ranking families is the most embarrassing, it is undoubtedly the Zhong family.

They have just become a noble family, and they really want to transform into a real noble family, but it is not easy to gain the trust of other noble families.

Because the Zhong family was formed by the merger of the feudal families of the six princely clans, the complexity of the internal components was beyond imagination, and Zhong Quan, as the head of the family, could not do whatever he wanted.

Zhiyao only had contact with Zhong Wu a few times after Zhong's acquisition of the Qing position. If you want to say what kind of impression..., she really doesn't have a strong personality.

When passing through "Wen", Wei Ju left the brigade with a small number of people, and the rest continued to march south.

When they arrived near Shan Guo, the old routine was repeated.

The contemporary Shan Gongyuan sent ministers to condolences to the Jin army, and when he learned that it was a family private war, he turned around and ran away in embarrassment.

The reason why it is said to be an old routine is that the Shan Gongs of the past dynasties played a special role among the Zhou royal family and officials.

There used to be a generation of Shan Gong who was the teacher of the king of Jin, and he got a lot of convenience by virtue of this relationship, and the convenience was three generations.

It's Shan Gongchao, the teacher of Jin Daogong.

Although Jin Mourning Duke passed away early, he still did a lot of great things during his reign, and at one point almost restored Jin State to the status quo of Jin Jinggong's early days.

What is the status quo?It is to weaken the sense of existence of the high-ranking family, make the public family become the mainstay of the Jin state again, and strengthen the strength of the middle-level family.

If Duke Jin Dao didn't die so early, and he had that kind of city and ability in the growth stage, let him stay on the throne for decades, clean up the mess left by Duke Li of Jin, and restore the health of Jin's internal structure. Perhaps the history of Jin is about to be rewritten.

The state of Jin has a family of officials who specialize in diplomatic relations with a certain country, and Duke Shan of the Zhou royal family is the minister who is in charge of diplomatic relations with the state of Jin.

National wars naturally need to go through relevant procedures, such as reporting to Zhou Tianzi, and the two sides will stage a harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

Private war?Even though the royal family of Zhou has been extremely weak, they still don't have the face to stand up and endorse the private war of one or some families.

The minister of the single country appeared.

The ministers of the single country disappeared.

It’s nothing if it happens, and it’s a bit funny to run away without any formal procedures. At the same time, it makes Zhiyao and others very depressed.

The current Zhou Tianzi has no sense of existence, and even a kind of public official has no money.

This is related to the changes in the structure of Jin.

In the past, when the Jin army went south, they would basically send some local products to the Zhou royal family when they passed through "Wang Ye".

Since when did the state of Jin no longer send souvenirs to the royal family of Zhou?In fact, it was after the emperor of Zhou became furious that the state of Jin did not arrange or have no ritual utensils when giving gifts.

The general of the state of Jin did not present the sacrificial utensils to the emperor of Zhou, and he was justified. He said bluntly that in order to ensure the uniqueness of the emperor of Zhou, he fought against the state of Chu all the year round and made the whole country impoverished.

This is also deceiving children. It is obvious that the Jin State cut off the tribute from other countries, and when it was the overlord, it was able to obtain "contributions" from a group of younger brothers every year. No.

In fact, the reasons why the state of Jin did not present the sacrificial vessels to the emperor of Zhou were very complicated. One of them was that the royal family of Zhou not only colluded with the states of Qi and Qin to make trouble for the state of Jin, but also that the royal family of Zhou wanted to compromise with the state of Chu. mean.

Regardless of how many benefits the Jin State gained from carrying the banner of the Zhou royal family, it is not fake to have fought bloody battles with the Chu State for decades.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did the king surrender first?
Well, originally I wanted to show the harmony between the monarch and his ministers; the Zhou royal family had diarrhea by themselves, which is simply too good.

Stop pretending, showdown!
It's a grass mud horse!I don't take care of you.

After that, the state of Jin sent troops to fight the princes many times, and no longer reported to Zhou Tianzi, and went south through "Wang Ye" and did not invite Zhou Tianzi to come to inspect.

"Geng." Zhiyao and other troops stationed to find Han Geng.

And Han Geng obviously knew why Zhiyao was looking for him, and said helplessly, "The Son of Heaven has long ignored state affairs."

For what reason, the royal family of Zhou only had one mu of land left, and the rest of the princes were intercepted by the state of Jin to pay tribute. Later, they rarely asked the emperor of Zhou to uphold justice. What important state affairs should the emperor of Zhou deal with?

Zhiyao said with a smile: "Geng can go to 'Luoyi' to have an audience."

In fact, Zhiyao wanted to go by herself.

The last time... seemed to be more than ten years ago?Zhiyao went to "Luoyi" to visit Lao Tzu. At that time, she belonged to the third generation, and she was not qualified to meet with the Emperor Zhou, so she didn't even act.

Now Zhiyao is qualified to have an audience with Emperor Zhou, but she has never had time, otherwise she still wants to see if she can establish contact.

Han Geng was stunned.

It is not a national war when they go south to crusade against the state of Zheng, so there is no need to specifically greet the emperor of Zhou, right?

"Yao invited Emperor Zhou to review?" Han Geng asked in a daze.

nerve!

The state of Jin is engaged in the national war in a serious manner, and the number of times that the Zhou emperors have personally inspected the scene is very small. Isn't it an insult to the Zhou emperor to invite a small-scale family private war?
Zhiyao showed a stunned expression, and said: "The Han family is close to the royal family of Zhou, and it's just a regular visit. At that time, I will greet the emperor on behalf of Yao."

The latter is what matters.Regarding this point, Zhiyao will show it with gifts.

Han Geng didn't want to go.

The Han family is the public family of the Jin state. After they obtained the position of minister, they got a task to be responsible for maintaining the relationship between the Jin state and the Zhou royal family. Later, the official business became a private matter.

It is estimated that no one expected that the Han family itself kept in touch with the Zhou royal family, and the Han family's fiefs surrounded the Zhou royal family. The three "qings" of the state were named marquises, which led to the partition of the state of Jin.

Zhiyao wants to replace Jin, right?Even if Zhou Tianzi has completely become a signboard, the mere signboard is still somewhat useful, at least in terms of legal system, it can stop the mouths of the people of the world.

If the Zhi family cannot swallow the entire Jin country by itself, Zhi Yao doesn't mind carve up the Jin country with his collaborators, and then play a reduced version of the unification battle later, which also requires the legal certification from Zhou Tianzi.

Without going south this time, Zhiyao would try to get in direct contact with Emperor Zhou in the future. I believe that Emperor Zhou would be very happy to gain the friendship of "Yuanrong" of Jin State, and then the respect shown by a powerful family.

Han Geng left, took the gift carefully prepared by Zhiyao, and embarked on a journey to "Luoyi".

"My son is quite like Zhao Wenzi." Yu Rang said.

Zhao Wenzi?The third generation of the Zhao family is Zhao Meng, Zhao Wu.

In view of Zhao Wu's achievements, it will be a great honor to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

In other words, when Zhao Wu was alive, whether it was out of the needs of the state of Jin or because of the affection of Duke Jin, he treated the royal family of Zhou very well.

"Really?" Zhiyao was not modest at all, and said with a smile: "Yao can also be a nine-in-one prince."

There are allusions here.

In the past, Qi Henggong did the great work of the Jiuhe princes in order to protect the civilization of the Xia Dynasty, and then a little fan Jin Daogong also did the cause of the Jiuhe princes, so that if he wanted to dominate, he had to invite the princes to join the alliance again and again. .

What was the purpose of inviting the princes to the alliance at the beginning? It will become less important after a long time. It is more important to be able to invite the princes frequently for the alliance itself. respectful.

Yu Rang didn't have any doubts at all, and said firmly: "The son of the world must be like this."

We must know that Zhiyao was able to lead the army to fight against the coalition forces of the princes at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and he won very well.

Once is luck, and more than two times is strength. Zhiyao wins whoever fights, not showing his military talent. Who is qualified to say that he understands military affairs? The record of many so-called famous generals is not as brilliant as Zhiyao.

Later, Zhiyao even used the demise of Zhongshan Kingdom to increase her own weight. Not only did the Zhi family have full confidence in Zhiyao's martial arts, but even the rest of the Jin family would dare to underestimate Zhiyao's military ability?

They crossed the river from "Mengjin", Wei Ju caught up before entering the border of Zheng State, and after a while, Han Geng also caught up.

"The Son of Heaven has known Mr. Zhi's greetings, and asked the Minister to thank Uncle Zhi." Han Geng looked strange.

This "bo" has no special meaning, the head of any family can be called "bo", or the ranking of each family is the longest.

In line with due morality, Han Geng didn't check Zhiyao's gift to Zhou Tianzi beforehand, so he really didn't know what Zhiyao gave to Zhou Tianzi.

In short, Zhou Tianzi was very happy to receive the gift from Zhishi. He not only praised Zhishi greatly, but also said something about being a minister.

What did Zhiyao give?The state of Jin just destroyed the state of Zhongshan not long ago, so there will definitely be spoils of war such as ritual vessels.

Destroy the Kingdom of Human Beings and present its sacrificial vessels. How many years has no one done this to the Emperor Zhou?

Although it was not done with much fanfare, Zhou Tianzi was disappointed, but something is better than nothing, isn't it?
Zhiyao is also very happy, still very happy.

The appearance of a minister?Zhou Tianzi was so happy that he said this, right? ? ?

In other words, Zhou Tianzi was satirizing.

In any case, if there are ritual utensils from Zhongshan Kingdom as gifts, historians must seriously record them.

Zhiyao knew that this time, she would have a basis for climbing up the pole in the future!
