warring states careerist

Chapter 643

Before the debater came, he had already discussed many things with Tian Shan in detail. He had already planned what conditions he could agree to and what conditions he could not.

Up to now, although Tian Yan is sure to win, his opponent who is sure to win is Tian He.And another hidden danger among the people has become the main conflict after Tian Wu Yishui escaped, and it must be guarded against.

The abdication and handover can allow the Tian clan to preserve more strength and form a powerful crush on the people.

Moreover, the Mo family thought that Tian Wu was going to come back for a coup d'état, and they probably didn't want to make such a big news that the common people tried the princes and shake the world.

But if the news reaches the Mo family that Tian Wu has run away, will the Mo family use this as an excuse to do more things?

If the people in Linzi City really have any appeals and the Mohists come forward, the situation will be much worse.

Therefore, under the current situation, the sooner the civil strife ends, the more noble power can be retained, the nobles of Qi can still be in a dominant position, and the problem of "legality" can also be solved.

In other words, now the Emperor Zhou has given the title to the Tian family.

Then, Tian Yan hoped that his uncle Zen gave him power instead of violently seizing power with the slogan "Ning Min" as his own.

Because Tian Shan can use the slogan "Ning the people" to violently seize power today, what if the people use the slogan "Benefit the people" to violently seize power tomorrow?
Ningmin was the slogan of the coup, but Tian Yan didn't want him to be the name of his ruling legitimacy.

To change the nature of this governing legitimacy, a play must be put on.

At that time, the brotherhood and fellowship between the nobles, which are impossible to exist, will be written in a special way, replacing the previous shouting of "for the people's peace".

The overall rhythm should be: Tian and Zuiji suddenly wake up.Zen is located in the nephew, Tian Shan dare not accept it, worships repeatedly and says that he is for Qi's community and Tian's ancestral temple, not for himself, he must emphasize morality, etiquette, silent warmth, and hierarchy.

After repeated refusals, Tian He said that he was really old, and asked Tian Shan to inherit the throne.

Only in this way can we continue to maintain the original morality of the feudal system.

Otherwise, if Tian Shan held up Tian He's head and said that he was unjust and punished him, what would happen if Tian Shan was unjust and the people punished him?
Originally, the coup d'etat between the nobles still paid attention to etiquette. If I kill you today, maybe someone else will kill me tomorrow, and they will always pay back when they come out to mess around, so it is best not to harm the children and grandchildren.

But this is a prisoner's dilemma.

Quwo Daiyi of the Jin State made a good start, the three clans were wiped out, and many members of the clan were slaughtered, leaving no one behind.

The ensuing rebellion of the five sons of the Qi State forced the nobles to kill their opponents' entire families, otherwise their sons would die and their offspring would be slaughtered.

Everyone kills their political opponents and their families. If they don’t kill themselves, they will suffer.

This is exactly what Tian He is worried about. Now he understands his situation. Tian Wu's escape means that his last hope is shattered. Father, think about it from the perspective of the patriarch of the Tian clan.

What Tian He meant, you see, I have left a city of food for Jiang Qi. Practice has proved that as long as the method is right, there will be no disturbances.

In addition, it is also an attitude, I don’t care about Tianhe, but the nobles of my faction and my son who has a fief are all watching.

You, Tian Yan, now hope that the political situation will be stabilized immediately to prevent the Mohists from using this as an excuse to arrive at Linzi and the people to riot. Although I, Tianhe, cannot win you now, I can disturb your peace.I can't be a monarch anymore, but before I die, I can let my son, my cronies, and my subordinates think about rebellion.

The debater was prepared for this, and immediately sang: "Your Majesty used "Tangdi" as a lesson in the past, seeking harmony among the same clan and harmony among brothers."

"Young master thinks so."

"Exactly: Tang Di's Hua, E Bu Wei Wei, all people today are better than brothers. The prestige of death and funeral, brother Kong Huai, the original is gone, the brother is begging. The spine is in the original, brothers are in distress, every good Friends, Kuang also sighs forever. Brothers fight against the wall and defend against their humiliation. For every good friend, there is no army. The mourning is peaceful, and it is peaceful and peaceful. Although there are brothers, it is not as good as friends."

"In the world's emotions, the closest relatives are those of the same race."

"The prestige of death and death, the one who thinks of me the most is the brothers of the same clan."

"Brothers quarrel behind closed doors, but if they encounter bullying from outside, they must be of one mind."

"When the future is stable, maybe relatives and brothers are not as good as friends, but when something really happens, the same clan is the most reliable."

"Now the Mohist school is tyrannical, like a bandit Zhi who runs across the Central Plains. This is the time when the chaos is not over."

It sounds like this is talking about feelings, but in fact feelings are useless. After talking about the importance of brothers and relatives, the debater said: "Young master once read history, and every time he read about Duke Xian of Jin, the princes Huan and Zhuang were wiped out by the barbarians. Family matters, let’s touch the scroll and sigh. The disaster of Jin’s division into three families is a story that can be sad.”

In fact, we need to learn from history, and we don’t need to go to the state of Jin. The situation in the state of Qi is similar. If it weren’t for the rebellion of the five princes, Jiang Qi’s power would be lost due to internal friction, how could the Tian family be able to replace Qi?
The reasoning is the same, it's not easy to compare things with Tian's ancestors.

Tian He also sighed: "This is indeed a sad story. If the brothers are in harmony, if the Jin and Jin are not divided, why is it that Wei and Zhao are turning against each other and the barbarians are rampant?"

"Those who are not of my race must have a different heart. Those who can be trusted are still the relatives of the Tian family. Even if there are some grievances, relatives are more trustworthy than the Mo family, which has no king and no father."

"My brother can be relieved that he can think like this. I am also relieved that he was appointed as the prince. There is nothing wrong with that."

Hearing this, the debater was overjoyed, Tian He had completely let go of his words, otherwise Tian He should have said that he blindly chose a rebellious thief as the crown prince.

Since there is nothing wrong with choosing him as the prince, it means that there is nothing wrong with this rebellion, and it means that everyone can now "fight against the wall and resist their humiliation", and talk about how to prevent the interests of the Tian clan from being separated by the mob behind closed doors. .

Tian He has no hope for his future now.

It is impossible for him to be confiscated from a city as food, Tian Shan dare not, what awaits him may be a lifelong house arrest, but it is better than starving to death or maggots crawling out of the window like Duke Huan of Qi.

Jiang Qi's feudal city was because there was no one in Jiang Qi's lineage, so the original Qihou Ludai could have a city.

Now Tian Yan's intention is to preserve Tian He's blood, then Tian He himself does not need to be entrusted with the land as a sacrifice, and he just needs to be prepared to be under house arrest for a lifetime.

The debater also took this opportunity to avoid talking about how to treat Tian He, but told Tian He the specific rules about the distribution of Tian He's heirs.

Tianhe's descendants already have fiefdoms, and they basically don't move, but the adjacent ones must be separated, and they must be within the envelope of several big cities.

Those who have no fiefdoms will also confiscate a small piece of land, but the places that are confiscated are basically the places that have been reformed by the Mohists.

The interests of Tian He's nobles basically remained unchanged, but it was impossible for them to keep so many fiefs if they had to divest several important figures.

It has to be said that this time the Mohists actually did a great favor to Qi State, so that Qi State finally had the conditions for reform.

It's like the battle of Daliang that year, the foundation of the nobles of Chu State was shaken, so that Chu State could try to reform; it's like the later Qi-Yan War almost the whole territory, which led to Yan State being able to reform.

This Qi-Mo war also allowed the Tian clan to finally try to centralize power.

In the places reformed by the Mohists, those nobles have no fiefs, and are actually abolished, so they can pinch them as they want.

The material foundation is the most important thing. Although Tian Yan and others obviously don't know this profound truth, they also understand based on past experience that this matter can be regarded as "how difficult it is to make a country rejuvenate".

For this matter, Tian Yan also hopes that Tian He can use his spare heat.

The deep-rooted nobles of his faction, if they can take the opportunity to kill a wave, they can be regarded as contributing to the Tian clan.

However, the political wisdom involved in this is not something that Tian Yan can grasp by himself, so I hope Tian He can come up with an idea for this matter.

Who can be killed?

Who can be wooed?
Whose fiefs can take this opportunity to take back?

What should the nobles who were captured by the Mohists do?

What should we do with the cities along the Wenshui River of Jishui that have been influenced by the Mohists?

As for such an opportunity to "rejuvenate the country through adversity", what should Tian Yan do?
Now all countries in the world are reforming, but Qi has nothing to learn from it. Tian Shan needs Tian He's wisdom. At this point, it is a foregone conclusion, and what needs to be considered is the future.

The reform methods of the Mohist School, Qi State could not learn and did not dare to learn, needless to say.

In addition to the methods of the Mohists, what Qi can learn is Chu, Qin, and Wei.

Who is the teacher?

Wei State’s method of reform stems from the fact that Wei State’s land reform started from Xihe, and Xihe was originally the land of Qin, without deep-rooted nobles, and took the lead in carrying out the reform there, thus creating a powerful army that did not belong to the nobles but belonged to the monarch. The field force Wei Wuzu.

The reform of Xihe in the Wei State did not change the interests of the nobles of the Qin State, but the interests of the nobles of the Qin State, so the reform was handy, at least the voice of internal opposition was not loud enough.

The reform of the Chu State originated from the fact that Wu Qi killed too many nobles of the Chu State in the First Battle of Daliang City, which weakened the power of the nobles.The special geographical location of the Chu State allows the Chu State to "reduce the nobles for three generations without merit", allowing the nobles to go to the border areas to continue the small feudalism, enriching the borders and driving the nobles out.

The reform of Chu State took only a little effort, and several doctors who defected were brought out.However, the new army that the Mo family helped to organize and train made the king of Chu have a field force in his hands. The nobles are better off alive than dead. At least three generations later, things are not so urgent. Some people go to the border and some don’t. Not all are against it.

The reform of the Qin State stems from the fact that Qin Jun has been in exile for many years and has a political force composed of rebels around him. He can first use the method of exchanging land to strengthen the attempt to centralize power in a small area, and then use the closed environment of the Qin State to bring about a great chaos. big change.

The change of Qin State, it was the time when Qin Jun, Rebel Mo, Wu Qi and others were going to take advantage of the civil strife in the Three Jin Dynasty, Wei Zhao turned his face, and the firearms were spread westward and the stirrup equipment could expand westward, but the three Jin Dynasties in the east were declining. Completely smashing the foundations of the old aristocrats, although there is no result yet, Wei Guo was mobilized by the Mohists to create fires in Chu, Zhao, and Zhongshan, unable to interfere, and Qin's reform is likely to be feasible.

It can be said that anyone can learn, but no one can learn.

The Jishui and Wenshui areas were swept up by the Mohists and helped the Qi State carry out land reform. This is a bit like the situation in Wei State Xihe.However, Tian Shan wanted to know, could he directly acknowledge the Mohist land reform, and not hesitate to offend the nobles there, so as to emulate Xihe of Wei State?

In the battle between Nanjishui and Yingyi, a large number of Qi nobles were captured, and the prestige of many families was demolished. This is a bit like Chu.However, the situation of Chu State is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it can be distributed everywhere on the border. Qi State does not seem to have such an environment.

In Tian Shan's hands, there is also a force of the scholar class, united by his side, looking forward to fighting against the great nobles in order to gain power, which is a bit like Qin.But do these scholars around me have the ability to rebel against ink?Does the environment of Qi State have the same situation as that of Qin State?Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, Song, and Mo are surrounded by many forces, dare you not hesitate to create chaos?
Or, can Qi State take a path of reform that is different from Mohism, Wei, Qin, and Chu?This is the place where Tian Shan humbly asks for advice, and hopes that Tian He can finally give advice.
