I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 379

It's not that there is a hole in the brain, or that it is extremely self-defeating, who would do that kind of thing that hurts others and does not benefit oneself?

Tian Heng felt that he had found the truth about Zhi's various abnormal behaviors.

After waiting for Zigong to leave, Tian Heng deliberately asked Tian Qi to go to a place where no one else was around to mention it again.

"Only in this way can we explain Zhi's various actions." Tian Heng really hoped that the old father could trust his own judgment.

What's more terrible is that the older people, not only their thinking is solidified, but also more stubborn than young people.

Tian Qi said: "If the Wei family also has this idea, the Zhi family may come true. Only the Zhi family has this idea, and both inside and outside are enemies!"

It is equivalent to saying, how could the Zhi family with such great ambitions reveal it to outsiders, and it is impossible to conspire with the Wei family.

Then, the Zhi family really wants to do the business of restoring or establishing the country, and then they will face the end of both internal and external enemies.

The current Zhi family is the well-deserved No. [-] family in the Jin Kingdom, and it can even dominate the outside world, right?
Given the special national conditions of the Jin State, the fiefs held by a noble family are larger than those of other vassal states, and all the rights under the rule belong to the family and do not belong to the state. There is not much difference.

Under that premise, the Zhi family enjoyed everything and could pass on power in a stable manner. Why would they break the established pattern for the sake of the title of a monarch?
Tian Heng was a little stunned by Tian Qi's words, and he couldn't help wondering if he was wrong, thinking: "That's right! Except that Zhiyao is not the king of a country, he has everything he wants, and his authority is no different from that of a king of a country. , and even more authority than most monarchs, there is really no need to break the existing pattern and increase countless unknown risks for the title of a monarch."

how to say?Now it is the world of "family" and "country", which means that the interests of the family are higher than the interests of the country, especially in the state of Jin, there is no such thing as "the king wants his ministers to die, and his ministers must not die".

The noble families of the Jin State have their own fiefdoms, population, resources, and the right to make legislation and enforce the law. They seem to be a family, but under the premise that the monarch is elevated, they are actually no different from a country.

The existing pattern is like that, and it will continue without accidents. As a vested interest, why change it, and then bring unpredictable dangers to your family?
Tian Qi said: "Wu's rise may be frustrated by several defeats? However, it is absolutely impossible to stop like this; Chu is still weak, and if there is a wise king, it will surely rise again; there are two powerful enemies outside, Jin The country can still compete."

So yes, the Zhi family really has that kind of ambition, and the Jin country will inevitably be in chaos again. After several high-ranking families beat each other to death, how can they fight against Wu or Chu?

Tian Heng said in a daze, "Maybe it's like my family, which has been managed for several generations and became powerful in one fell swoop?"

Tian Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and thought: "Such a possibility... can't you say it doesn't exist?"

There is almost no trend of "unwilling to be inferior" at present, and most people have long been accustomed to the social rules of "princes and generals have kindness".

Tian's deliberate attempt to usurp the country is the only one in the history of the original version, and it is not completely without reason.

First, Yan Ying reminded Tian Qi, and then Chen Guo perished.

Why did Yan Ying remind Tian Shi?Maybe Tian Qi just wanted to increase Tian's voice in Qi by buying the nobles of Qi and forming cliques. As a result, Yan Ying said that after a hundred years, Tian would replace Jiang and Lv as the leader of Qi. Master, won't you open up a new way of thinking for Tian Qi, so that Tian has the epiphany of "relaxing the eyes and enlarging the heart"?
And the demise of the Chen Kingdom did indeed give the Tian family a reason to restore the country. If they replace the Lu family with Jiang's surname one day, they will make up for Sanke's pattern and continue to sacrifice to Emperor Shun. The reason is simply too good!

So, one of the reasons why there is still a Jin state after the division of the three families in history, and the Tian family did not need to leave a piece of land for the Jiang surnamed Lu family after the Tian family replaced the Qi, is one of the reasons mentioned above; The country was divided up, so that there was really no one who could uphold justice at that time.

The two father and son knew very well that what they said was useless. No matter what Zhishi wanted to do, Tian didn't have the strength to influence them anyway, and talking too much would lead to a worse end.

As winter approached, a message from "Luoyi" represented that another era was coming.

Nothing else, Ji Gai, who had been in power for 43 years, passed away.

Historians of later generations regarded Ji Gai's death as the dividing line between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because after that, the feudal lords fought more and more frequently, and each time the scale became larger.

The old Zhou Tianzi passed away, no matter how famous the Zhou royal family was, the princes would send people to attend the funeral and the new king's enthronement ceremony by the way.

In addition, no matter how you put on an air, the reason is that you should stop fighting and do things like eating, drinking and having fun in secret.

However, the war between Zheng State, Song State, and Wei family did not stop because there were more King Zhou Jing, and many conflicting princes continued to fight.

In the original history, the war did not end because of Ji Gai's death. Perhaps this is the reason why historians distinguish the dividing line between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

There is one more King Zhou Jing, right?Refers to the posthumous title.

As the envoy of the State of Lu, Min Zi was supposed to terminate Tian's restoration of the country, and hurriedly packed up his things and returned to the country. Later, he learned that even if he returned to the country, the Tian family would still hold the restoration ceremony. Someone came to tell Tian that the restoration of the country needs to be held as scheduled, so he can only stay and preside over it.

There is a big problem here, that is, before the state of Lu was officially notified by the Zhou royal family to attend the funeral of King Zhou Jing, it chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb to what happened to the Zhou royal family.

The state of Lu who should show the respect of the Zhou royal family the most?It is even more conceivable what will happen to the other princes!

In fact, the Tian family wanted to respect the royal family of Zhou. The most terrible thing was that they were both forced by Wu Guo and the Zhi family. China threatened to attack Tian's island stronghold in the sea.

Does Wu have the ability to send troops from the sea?They have already proved by attacking Qi from the sea twice that they are willing to bear the undetermined losses of HNA to attack Qi. Why can't they be cruel and attack Tian's stronghold on the sea?

Knowing the danger of HNA, Fu Chai continued to do it for the second time after the first time. He is indeed the first monarch of Zhu Xia who dared to challenge the sea!
Therefore, the state of Wu was not only the participating country in the first large-scale water battle in the inland rivers of Zhuxia, they were also the first country in Zhuxia to use sea routes to attack other countries.If the state of Wu didn't die suddenly, there seems to be many possibilities?
On a snowy day, Tian's restoration ceremony was held.

In order to restore the sacrifice to Emperor Shun, in fact, more princes should send people to participate. However, when the Tian family sent invitations to all countries, only some younger brothers from Wu country came, and more countries should not have such a time. thing.

In addition, although Zigong was on behalf of the Zhi clan to go to Tian clan as an envoy, he would not appear at the ceremony in an open and honest manner.

This is that although the Zhi family hopes that the Tian family will return to the country, it will not enhance its own sense of existence.

On the other hand, Bo Tong came out dressed up that day, and especially made a high-profile congratulation on behalf of Fu Chai, which really stole the limelight.

Zi Gong, who was standing in an inconspicuous corner, watched Min Zi finish his congratulatory speech expressionlessly, and then went on to perform the rest of his duties. He could understand why that happened.

Although Minzi doesn't have the spiritual obsession with morality of his fellow disciples, he still feels very complicated when he is ordered to do such a thing.

On the one hand, Min Zi felt that it was a good thing to restore the sacrifice to Emperor Shun.

On the other hand, Min Zi felt that it was too impolite to do so during the death of Zhou Tianzi.

The ceremony was relatively simple, and Min Zi, who presided over the ceremony, had a blank face throughout the whole process. Most of the Tian family members who should be very happy had constipated expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was extremely weird.

Of course, the process that should be done still had to go, until the banquet was over, the envoys of many countries left that night, which made Tian Qi, who was already very blocked, sighed repeatedly.

No, when Chen Guofu was established, Tian Qi should be renamed Chen Junqi.

What seems to be wrong?In terms of the pronunciation in the Spring and Autumn Period, Tian Tongchen, but the Tian family used the word "Tian" in the writing on the Qi side, and the Tian family was retained for later generations.

Chen Junqi was tired of Bo Tong who was getting more and more arrogant, and was also puzzled by the fact that Zi Gong, who represented the Zhi family, didn't make any demands.

Until Zi Gong offered to leave, it really made the Tian family..., no, to change their name to the Chen family, anyway, it increased their sense of urgency.

Zi Gong still chose to travel with Min Zi, and the two of them took the opportunity to chat a lot on the road.

During the period, Zigong learned that the brothers who stayed in Lu State were not doing well, and that Sanhuan's current patriarch was getting more and more stupid, so he really didn't know what to say.

When passing by the state of Lu, Zigong heard the news that a slave riot had occurred in the state of Lu, and he was really shocked.

The person who led the slave uprising... or called the uprising was called Liu Xiazhi, and he was the "robber Zhi" in "Zhuangzi. Robber Zhi".

Of course, neither Robber Zhi nor Liu Xiazhi is this person's name.

His name is Liuxiazhi, because he was born in a place called Liuxia, and Zhi is actually the abbreviation of "Barefoot Slave".

As for being called Robber Zhi, in fact, it can be seen from Zhuangzi's description that it is a kind of disapproval.

According to the records in "Zhuangzi. Robber Zhi", Zhuangzi recorded that Robber Zhi once led the crowd to "retire and die in the sun of Mount Tai". Picking households, driving people, cattle and horses, taking people and women, being greedy and forgetting relatives, disregarding parents and brothers, and not offering sacrifices to ancestors. In the towns that pass by, the big country guards the city, the small country is protected, and the people suffer" to describe lawlessness, cruelty, and constant atrocities .

Zigong knew one thing. The slave uprising in Lu State became a trend of blazing fire, and it caused the nobles of Lu State to scream.

The first large-scale slave riot in Ji Zhou's history happened in Lu State, a land of etiquette?I don't know how to perform etiquette.

However, the etiquette of the Zhou dynasty was already cannibalistic, and the slave class could bear it for so long, which is actually quite outrageous.

Waiting for Zigong to return home to inform Zhiyao about the slave riot.

After hearing this, Zhiyao showed a puzzled expression, thinking: "It is said that the Daze Township Uprising is the first organized and powerful resistance to the feudal dynasty, isn't it?"
