I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 473 Sudden Opportunity

Zhiyao knew that more than 3 Chu troops were raging in the territory of the Zhou royal family. He heard that many ministers of the Zhou royal family were killed or captured, and once again realized how weak the Zhou royal family was.

Logically speaking, Zhiyao, who knew that the Chu army was raging on the territory of the Zhou royal family, should send troops to serve the king?But everything has to pay attention to a procedural issue.

First of all, the emperor of Zhou had to send someone to ask for help from the original country. After completing the procedure of asking for help, Zhiyao decided whether to send troops to serve the king.

Some people may wonder whether Zhiyao sent troops to intercept and kill the angel who came to ask for help, or whether Zhiyao was indifferent to receiving the call for help.Thinking this way would have wronged Zhiyao, he neither sent troops to intercept and kill the angel, nor even saw the shadow of the angel.

No matter why the angel didn't come to Zhiyao, it's not Zhiyao's fault anyway!
A new problem arose, the angel did not ask to see Zhiyao, but the person went to the Han family.

The rules were set by the royal family of Zhou, and they didn't break the rules once or twice. To ignore the rule of "subjects are not ministers of the emperor" to the Yuan country, it is obviously a bit of a mess.

What's even more funny about this incident is that Han Geng didn't ask Zhiyao for instructions immediately, and only made the report after receiving the angel of Zhou Tianzi.

What's the situation?It can be understood that Han Geng thought that he and Zhiyao had equal status, and did not fully realize that both sides had become monarchs and ministers.

Or in other words, Han Geng regarded the Yuan Kingdom as the former Jin Kingdom, and the monarch is just a decoration?
From Han Geng's point of view, the situation was obviously not that serious, or he didn't have the correct understanding and thought it was really not a big deal.

Zhiyao, who didn't pursue it immediately, asked, "What do you think Situ should do?"

Han Geng obviously had an idea long ago, and replied: "The Son of Heaven didn't ask for help from the Emperor, and it's up to the Han family whether to send troops or not."

If Zhiyao hadn't merged into the current era, hearing Han Geng's answer would make her furious.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a rule that any family could start a private war privately, that is, to launch a war in the form of a family. The use of troops internally is generally a war of revenge, and it can also be used externally. The same thing is the need to gain something. Pay tribute to the king.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Li and Tang Dynasties, family private wars were allowed. The difference is that in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, there was no need to ask the monarch for instructions, but only to bear the consequences of starting a family private war; from the Western Han Dynasty to the Li and Tang Dynasties, it was necessary to consult the monarch in advance. Family private wars can only be started with permission, and the scale of military use is limited.

Because the relationship is within the scope allowed by the rules, what Han Geng said is that he is willing to bear the corresponding cause and effect, and if the country is involved, he is willing to admit the corresponding consequences.

To put it bluntly, Han Geng expressed his willingness to take the blame for Yuan Guo on behalf of the Han family.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhiyao probably figured out what the Zhou royal family asked for help from the Han family. First, the Han family's fief was next to the Zhou royal family, and secondly, Zhiyao was outside.

Here we also need to understand the actual situation of the Zhou royal family. They are really too weak, and the envoy team has no ability to safely pass through the war zone and reach Zhiyao's place.It should be like this, why the Zhou royal family chose to ask the Han family for help?
The Han family said it was a family, and its strength actually surpassed that of many vassal states. It was indeed capable of going to the rescue of the Zhou royal family, especially the Zhou royal family had a very good relationship with the Han family for a long time.

Another point is that the royal family of Zhou probably did not understand the political environment of the original country, and believed that the Zhi family and the Han family had ruined the Jin country together. Whether the two sides were in collusion or had a good relationship, the Han family could send troops immediately if they wanted to.

Being able to send troops quickly is very important to the current Zhou royal family. They are eager to get support and can get reinforcements faster. They are definitely willing to reduce as many steps as possible to save more time.

"After all, we are in a stage of change. Many matters cannot be insurmountable rules by promulgating a decree. Even if they become new rules, they will still be ignored by too many people." I don't want to deal with it immediately, but I just realized the importance of the new rules being recognized and implemented.

There has been no chance for Zhiyao to make a "moving wood and establishing faith". He prefers to do it subtly. It seems that there is a need for a major event to make the people of Yuan country fully understand that the times have changed.

Han Geng didn't know what Zhiyao was thinking, and said, "Qin may come back, but Zheng refuses to surrender. This is the reason why it is difficult to rescue the Son of Heaven!"

Zhiyao didn't give Han Geng any response.

Now the choice of whether to rescue the Zhou royal family is in the hands of the Han family. Even if the Zhou royal family is wiped out this time, it will have nothing to do with Zhiyao and the Yuan family.

"Is it possible for the Zhou royal family to be wiped out by [-] Chu troops? It's not impossible!" Zhiyao suddenly thought of this.

Suddenly, Zhiyao began to look forward to it.

If the Zhou royal family were to disappear, the people of the world would lose their co-lords, and would enter an era where heroes would compete for the throne, and no one who ruled the world again would have any lack of legal principles.

If it were the Yuan Kingdom that finally wiped out the Zhou royal family, no matter what the reason was, a definition of lower and higher would not be able to escape. The reason was that Zhiyao accepted the canonization of Zhou Tianzi.

Ji Zhou also replaced Yin Shang by defeating Shang, so he needed to come up with a lot of gods and gods, and then smeared Yin Shang as much as he wanted to prove the correctness of Ji Zhou's replacement of Yin Shang.

In many dynasties, as ministers and subordinates, they conquered the country. If they can do that, they will get a corresponding end one day.

The dynasties that do that are far more vigilant internally than externally, fearing that they will be replaced one day.

The right thing to win a country is to expel alien invaders. If you can have a righteous name for saving the people, it will be more difficult for internal officials to replace them. The situation, and even a single word from the emperor can make countless people want to get rid of powerful officials. The core reason lies in the founding emperor's right to win the country.

Zhiyao began to think: "Should I do something, such as secretly support those Chu troops, or even send out troops pretending to be Chu troops to conquer 'Luoyi'?"

This idea is too tempting!

"No, everyone who walks will leave traces, I can't do that!" Zhiyao forcibly resisted the urge to do something.

To be discovered in a sneaky manner would be a serious blow to reputation. It would be better to send troops to wipe out the royal family of Zhou in an upright manner, at least it can be said in an upright manner.

You can't do something sneakily, but it doesn't mean you really don't do anything.

Later, Zhiyao called her husband, and said: "Choose someone you can trust, go to Wang Ji to meet the general of Chu in private, and give this to me."

Didn't the original army capture Chu Junzhong?This includes obtaining a seal of approval.

If that Chu army captured "Luoyi" and did something horrific, the order was issued by Chu Junzhong, so what's the matter with Yuanguo, right?
