Chapter 584 Unshakable Power

Chapter 584 Unshakable Power ([-])
For Prince Shan, the news of the annihilation of the [-] Qi army in the Battle of Nanjishui was enough to dance, but if the news of the annihilation of the Linzi Army came, he would be so happy that he could hardly sing.

If the Mohists were able to win a big victory against the Linzi Legion like the Battle of Nanjishui, whether Tian Wu was captured or not, Tian He's prestige would drop to the extreme.

The people in Linzi are bound to be angry and resentful. When the time comes, they will raise their arms and make peace with the Mohists in secret, and then spread some rumors such as: Only when the unrighteous king is punished can peace be made... so big things can be settled.

At that time, the state of Wei was swinging between Jin and Chu. Because Wei Hou chose to form an alliance with Chu, he was expelled by the people who were worried about the revenge of the Jin people.

After taking Pingyin from the Mohists, Tian Yan also basically understood the Mohist's plan. He felt that the Mohist's plan was to besiege Linzi in order to force Tian Qinggong Ziwu to return to his teacher.

In this way, if the army returned from the expedition without success, and the people in the army were worried about their families, then the Mo family would have enough opportunities to ambush in the middle, so that Uncle Tian Shan's power could be completely overthrown.

So after the battle of Nanji Water, Tian Yan restrained his excited expression, worried about the country and the people every day, and repeatedly spoke out.

Above the court hall, Prince Shan showed a worried expression for the Sheji Ancestral Temple of Qi Zhi, and he was always able to win rounds of applause.

"Qi has been established for 600 years since Taigong Wang was granted the title of Yingqiu. Except that Duke Ai was boiled and Prince Jing moved the capital to Bogu, Linzi has never suffered war."

"Duke Xi Xiaoba, Duke Huan ruled the roost, and Linzi had never suffered war until the three Jins invaded Qi 20 years ago."

"Nowadays the people of Linzi are on an expedition in Fei. Although the population of Linzi is sweating profusely, they have never defended Linzi. Moreover, tens of thousands of young and strong are outside, and the city is limited to the old and weak. The Mohists are well-known for their offensive and defensive skills. They went to Wucheng in one day. , Half a moon breaks the yin, and the skill of attacking and defending is unparalleled since the death of Mo Di, and Linzi may not be able to defend."

"At this time, Tian Qing should be urgently called back to the teacher to protect the capital of the country. If the capital is here, we can still look forward to the mediation of Wei Han and other countries. It's dangerous."

"Besides, although Jiang Qi has lost his virtue, there are many ignorant people. Lv Loan eats a city, has no virtue and no merit, and there are still many scholars following him... If Linzi loses, I'm afraid Tian's will do it according to the destiny. Will be questioned by ignorant people."

He looked loyal, and he seemed to believe in the military power of the Mohist school. In fact, he really believed in the military power of the Mohist school. Want to ambush halfway.

Besides, even if the Mohists don't think so, then when Tian Qing's army returns and the Mohists besiege Linzi, the people will definitely resent them. At that time, he will say that he is righteous, just like the Huadu of the Song Dynasty in the past, and only said that he should punish the unrighteous king for the benefit of the people. You can get the support of the Mohists, and you can directly overthrow Tian He's rule in a coup d'etat.

During this period of time, scholars gathered in Tian Shan's mansion, nobles came and went, and there was a lot of traffic. How could Tian He not know?

He didn't believe that Tian Shan's words were really for the sake of Qi State, but he had to agree with Tian Shan's opinion.

As Tian Yan said, since Mo Di's death, the No. 1 defender and siege in the world is the Mohist's siege. Tian He had to consider Linzi's defense after a few days of defeating Pingyin.

As far as Linzi can mobilize troops, only the old, the weak, and the young and strong are left to join the expedition.Linzi has not experienced war for hundreds of years. Although the city is tall, it is built according to the city defenses of the Bronze Age before the advent of gunpowder. It is difficult to resist the gunpowder siege technique of the Mohists.

Although Tian Yan harbored evil intentions, what he said could not be refuted. Now ask everyone, who can guarantee to defend Linzi under the onslaught of the Mohists?I'm afraid no one will dare to stand up.

If Tian Qing is not allowed to return to his teacher and Linzi is defeated, even if Qi is still there, and Qi is no longer the Qi of Tian He's family, what is the significance of Qi to Tian He?
Just like the present Chen Guofu, the Prince of Chu will split and come back. It is said that the Tian family is from Chen Guo, but they don't care about Chen Guo's affairs, because that Chen Guo is no longer their family's Chen Guo, whoever gets it What's the difference?
The Tian family, before Tian Chang, was extremely united, because they needed to be united to fight against Jiang Qi's forces, against the Gao and Guo surnames, and against the nobles of Qi such as Yan and Bao.

But after the Tian family was aligned and Qi land belonged to Tian, ​​civil strife was inevitable. Tian Chang couldn't help the many bloodlines left by the guests, which eroded Jiang Qi's power, but also laid the groundwork for the family's civil strife.

Although Tian He and Tian Shan are relative uncles and nephews, father and son and brothers are still fighting endlessly, how about uncles and nephews?The two are no longer a family. This is no longer a matter of Qi being one, but a matter of whether Qi belongs to the private property of an uncle or a nephew. If the enfeoffment system is not destroyed by the material foundation, there will be no foundation for a nation.

Tian He couldn't point directly at Tian Yan's nose and curse: You want Tian Qing to come back, do you want the Mohists to ambush halfway and destroy the Linzi Army, so that you can make a coup?

Because the matter has come to this point, Tian He can only choose to let Tian Qing and Young Master Wu return to the teacher.

One can still be able to fight against Tian Shan after returning, especially in the context of unrest after the big defeat.

Second, if Tian Wu doesn't come back, it may be beneficial to the Qi country, but he will probably be killed by his nephew, and even if his son avenges him and beats him back, he will already be dead.

Under the throne, even his son can't be trusted. Tian He doesn't want to die for his family and pave the way for his son with his own life. At this moment, he is just a person, a monarch, and a man who has seen too many fathers and sons fighting each other. Monarch of stories.

Facing his nephew's ambition, the No.1 who broke the etiquette system in the early years of the Warring States Period actually missed the benefits of etiquette, and couldn't help feeling that there were fewer and fewer genuine gentlemen in this world.

I can't help but think of the conversation between Yan Zi and Jiang Qi Jinggong back then, and I can't help but smile bitterly.

At that time, Duke Jing had newly repaired the palace. After seeing the magnificence and feeling how beautiful it was, he said sadly, "After I die, who can live in this magnificent palace?"

Yanzi then said, "I'm afraid it's the Tian family."

Jinggong asked what to do, Yanzi said: "Only rely on etiquette."

Duke Jing asked what etiquette is, and Yanzi replied: "If it conforms to etiquette, the alms of the family cannot catch up with the state. People cannot move at will, farmers cannot move at will and be imprisoned in the fief, and businessmen cannot change their careers. The son inherits the father's business." , passed down from generation to generation. The ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, the noble is the noble, the pariah is the pariah, insurmountable, and the hierarchy is strict. This is etiquette.”

When sitting on the seat of Qi Xiang, Li was the biggest obstacle for the Tian family to replace Qi, so he had to direct and act out such a political farce, borrowing the righteousness of the Mo family, and temporarily confirmed the legitimacy of his acting as Qi.

But after Zhou Tianzi got the title, this ceremony became a very good thing again. If everyone observes the ceremony and the people do not change their careers, the words of the Mohists will not be believed, and there is a difference between high and low; Everyone observes the ritual, the monarch and the ministers, the throne should be passed on to the son-in-law, and if it is passed on to the nephew, some people will object that this violates the ritual; if everyone observes the ritual, how can one's nephew be ambitious?

The rites collapsed and the music broke down, which once allowed the Tian family to take charge of the state of Qi, but at this time it became the source of Qi's civil strife.

Knowing that the prince Yan harbored evil intentions, but he couldn't deal with it, he could only endure the feeling that Tian He had never experienced in his life.

He and his elder brother murdered the elder brother, tore the younger brother in a car, and forced Jiang Qi away. So far, everything has been smooth sailing. Originally, it would be very simple for two generations to completely wipe out the existence of the elder brother and nephew. There is no clear record of his life, but he never expected to get out of the Mo family.

After getting rid of the intrigue among his uncles and nephews in the court, Tian He went to the mausoleum temple to worship and pray, and the ancestor enshrined in the ancestral temple was the Yellow Emperor.

This is the result of Tian's deliberate thinking, and it is also the result of careful consideration for Tian's generation of Qimeng to add a layer of sanctity. The truth can be discarded like broken straw sandals.

For one thing, Confucianism must call Yao, Shun, civil and military; Mohist regards Dayu, who weathered the wind and rain, as the sage, and even the internal chronology of Mohism uses Dayu as the calendar: Mohism regards the year when the Tushan Conference cast Jiuding as the first year of Kyushu, and it has been so far. It has been more than [-] years.

In addition to the reason why the Mohists regard Yu as holy, the Tushan Conference was chosen to cast Jiuding as the first year of Jiuzhou, not only because of the Jiuding, but also because of the legend of gunpowder fabricated by the Mohists: the love between Dayu and Tushan Nujiao is because the gunpowder exploded the blockage The mountains of the river led to the marriage of Dayu, who was unable to control the water and had no family. This is a story that has been circulated in the world more than ten years ago.

As for the textual research of time, the state of Qi, which is "worry about the sky", was the Sanke after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, which was used to continue the sacrifice of Dayu.However, the State of Yue believed that he was the descendant of Nujiao in Tushan, and Dayu was also buried in Mount Kuaiji after his death.

However, regardless of Confucianism and Mohism, whether it is Yao Shun Yu Tang or Zhou Wen Zhou Wu, they are far behind in terms of seniority compared with the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, the Tian family followed the ancestors of Hu Gongman all the way to the Yellow Emperor. Overwhelmed Confucianism and Mohism.

Confucianism talks about the Mandate of Heaven, and Mohism talks about the Will of Heaven. They both use the past to describe the present. Since they are talking about the past, is there anything older than the Yellow Emperor?
Furthermore, the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor and unified the Chinese tribes. This is the destiny.

The Tian family is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.

Jiang Qi, whose surname is Jiang, is the descendant of Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan was born in Jiangshui, and took Shui as his surname. Jiangshui first, and then the surname Jiang, Jiang Qi can be regarded as the orthodox descendant of Emperor Yan.

The ancestor of the Tian family is Hu Gongman, Hu Gongman is the Yu family, the ancestor of the De family of the Yu family is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and Chen Guo is Sanke, who inherits Yu's sacrifice.

Tian's generation of Qi is a re-enactment of the destiny of the Battle of Banquan, Huangdi defeated Yandi, so the descendants of Huangdi replaced Yandi's descendant Jiang, isn't it the destiny?
Tian He doesn't believe in the destiny at all, because he wants to use the destiny to gain legitimacy, and those who use the destiny are the least believers in the destiny.

But at this moment, he has nothing to do, he not only believes in destiny, but also in astrology, and asks if Void and Dangerous Home can see the fate of Qi.

After praying for a long time, suddenly a close minister galloped in, and the joy that could not be concealed in his words shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The state of Qi is safe and secure! Qin Huali is seriously ill and cannot govern, and the Mo family has no leader!"

Tian He, who was praying there, suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "Is this true?"

The close minister said: "It's true, Sishang carefully made a starry night to repay."

Tian He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Ah! The destiny is my destiny! The destiny is my destiny! Once Qin Huali dies, the army will go back to Sishang to fight for the position, and I have no worries!"
