warring states careerist

Chapter 72
Shi Shi, who fabricated these nursery rhymes without telling Mozi, didn't even have the intention of watching these nobles fight for power.

It's like a person with ulterior motives who dropped a piece of fleshy bone among a group of dogs, and left Shi Shiran with his hands behind his back.

He is not interested in watching dogs bite dogs, just for the sake of the dogs barking so that he can do things that would have caused the dogs to bark.

The cicadas are noisy, the forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.The reverse is also the same, the forest is chaotic and the cicadas are silent, and the landslides are silent and the birds are silent.Noiseless and silent, covered by mountains and forests.

The people in Shangqiu City didn't have much emotion about Song Gong's death, they just told each other that they knew.

The people of Song Dynasty experienced too much struggle for power and expulsion by coup d'état, and the nobles also practiced too much.

As early as when Zibuyou's father came to the throne, the Song Dynasty had already staged a classic alliance between nobles.

As the descendants of the organizers of the coup d'état, they have already mastered purely.

In the past Song Jinggong died on the way to play, and the big secretary did not mourn, but quietly returned with Jinggong's body.

Borrowing the name of Duke Jing to recruit the six ministers of the Song Dynasty, saying that Duke Jing is seriously ill, and asking the six ministers to swear not to do anything wrong to the office, otherwise they will be punished by heaven.

Dayin supported son Qi, but he did not participate because he asked the six officials to make an oath in the name of Duke Jing.

Dayin, Gongzi Qi, and their faction's noble fiefdoms are mostly far away, and mobilization is slow.

After Sicheng got the news, he judged the situation and believed that he had a great advantage in Shangqiu. After judging the situation, he immediately spread rumors in the city, saying that the king died when he was not sick, and Dayin kept the funeral secret. How did the king die? is that clear?
In order to incite the dissatisfaction of the nobles and people in the city.

Dayin thought that Liuqing wanted to join forces to deal with him, and he didn't make an oath with them, so he hurriedly asked Taizhu to help write the oath, and he was going to make an oath with Liuqing.

Taizhu judged the situation and found that Sicheng had already started to mobilize private soldiers and had a great advantage in Shangqiu, so he sold the news of the oath to Sicheng in a blink of an eye.

Sicheng asked Dazhu to tamper with the oath, spread rumors that Dayin killed the king and seized power everywhere, and united Le Shi, Zuo Shi, Men Yin and others.After discussing with each other, they vowed that after they gain power in the future, the nobles of the three surnames will rule in a republic.

On the same day, Sicheng and others distributed money and weapons to the private soldiers for deployment, telling them not to worry about underdevelopment in the future.At that time, the deployers shouted loudly that we would not recognize anyone in the Song Dynasty except Sicheng, and your words are the same as those of the king.

So overnight coup d'état, supporting the son of virtue.Gongzi De is not the first in line heir, but Gongzi Qicai, so Gongzi De acknowledges the oath of the three surnames in republic and rule in return.

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Sicheng back then is no longer the same person as before, but he is the descendant of those people back then.

All that their grandparents did is an excellent family lesson for them now.

The common enemy of the past has disappeared and no longer has power, and no one will abide by the covenant of the past, and the allies of the past have become the current enemy.

There are no eternal enemies and therefore no eternal allies.

The biggest lesson of the previous coup was that covenants and oaths are useless, the most useful thing is their own private soldiers, whoever can mobilize the fief private soldiers first to control the situation will be the winner.

Taking history as a mirror, this time Song Gong Buyou’s body is still on the way back to Shangqiu from Weasel Land. The nobles of all surnames in the city have already begun to gather their cronies and private subordinates, and let them quickly return to their respective fiefs to prepare for the mobilization of fief soldiers. .

At the same time, there is a lesson from the last time that Sicheng directly controlled Shangqiu. The nobles who united against the most powerful Sichenghuang gathered together, first gathered their own soldiers in Shangqiu, to prevent Sichenghuang from repeating his old tricks, and then learned from Sicheng. thing.

The people of Shangqiu have seen many coups over the years, and have experienced the catastrophe and extravagance of the monarch in the past few years. They are not as easy to be incited as they were decades ago. They just wait and see the changes and will not participate again.

Whoever is the king is the same to the people at that time, the only difference is the nobles.

The nobles made preparations in secret, but above the court hall they were still weeping and worrying about the country and the people.

The young son Tian, ​​who was under the crown, was very happy about his father's death, and felt that he finally had the opportunity to flex his muscles, and that his previous ambitions would soon be realized.

But on the surface, it still needs to be very sad, not only very sad, but also sadder than Si Cheng Huang, Si Cheng Huang fainted three times from crying, how can I, my son, not faint four times?

Gong Zitian looked down on his father, felt that his father was not a qualified monarch, and most despised his father's humble attitude towards Chu.

Chu Nai is a barbarian, a little viscount, why should he go on a pilgrimage?

Back then Shang Tang could achieve great things in a land of only a hundred miles, Gou Jian Yue Jia was nothing more than three thousand can swallow and strengthen Wu, and now the Song Dynasty has a place of thousands of miles, why should he be so humble?As long as the government is benevolent and the country is strong, it may not be impossible to do the official duties of the past.

At this time, he didn't know that a small country should not be humbled, and power should not be afraid of the strong... All these things that could be praised as courageous in the Spring and Autumn Period, in the Warring States Period, it was a sign of the country's subjugation.

Times have changed.

After he was beaten repeatedly by the three Jins of Chu State, he finally understood the truth, but he was also about to die.

When it came to the younger generation, Song Guocai finally woke up from the dream of a great power and became extremely smooth: Later Zhao and Wei turned their backs, Wei besieged Handan, and forced Song to send troops.Song immediately agreed to mobilize the whole country, and then sent people to the country of Zhao, saying that you let out a city and let's make a show, so tens of thousands of Song soldiers fought around an empty city for half a year. King Wei praised Song Gong for his efforts, and King Zhao also thanked Song Gong for his righteousness .

If he had the mind of his younger generation at this time, he might really be able to achieve a great career, but now all he thinks about is King Tang Yue of Shang Dynasty defeating the strong with the weak, and feels that if he is a king, he will not be as useless as his father.

After being persuaded by Emperor Sicheng, he felt that he could use Jin to control Chu. In the future, when he became stronger, he would let all the three Jins and Chu Qi come to pilgrimage!

Moreover, Qi still occupies the enclave of Guanqiu now, so he took the opportunity of attacking Qi several times to win Guanqiu and become the foundation ceremony for the power of Song State.

It seems that a glorious picture scroll of the Song Dynasty dominating the Central Plains again has been depicted on those three liters of plain cloth.

……

In the city of Shangqiu, in a place closely guarded by soldiers, Zibuyou's younger brother Shu Cenxi, Song Dynasty's Dayin, Taizhu, Zuo Shi and others, representing their respective families, gathered in one place.

The soldiers outside are all dead soldiers trained with a lot of money, even if the Sicheng Emperor is powerful, they cannot easily break into it.Furthermore, now that the Duke of Song has not been buried, Emperor Sicheng will not risk the displeasure of the world to launch an attack at this time.

Big Yin Lingqi looked at Cen Xi and said softly: "Have you heard about the nursery rhymes in Shangqiu recently?"

Cen Xi's face remained unchanged, and he felt a little vigilance in his heart. He said in a mournful voice, "Shangqiu is spreading the songs, how could I not have heard of them? It is said that these nursery rhymes were passed down by hermits like Lao Peng. Hey...the hermits are so talented. Nursery rhymes are a little... hey!"

Seeing that Zi Cen Xi was still pretending, Yin Lingqi sneered, and said: "The theory of nursery rhymes is in accordance with the destiny of God, so we must pay attention to it. Everyone knew about the annihilation of Guo Yan's nursery rhymes back then. , how can you not believe it? Now that the disaster of the Song Dynasty is imminent, it is a pity that the city is only for self-interest, and I am afraid that there will be disasters."

These people were the nobles who opposed Si Chenghuang's faction. Of course, they heard the nursery rhyme, and they also had different thoughts.

It's just that everyone had lingering fears about Taizhu's rebellion back then, so how can they easily talk to each other now?We can only test each other, and no one is willing to tell the truth first.

If you don't become the leader, you can still surrender in the future. If something big fails in the future, it is impossible for Sicheng Huang to kill them all.But if he becomes the leader, he may really be exiled from the clan in the future.

However, if there is no leader, then nothing can be done, so all the nobles want Cen Xi to be the leader.

In the future, if Cen is happy to win the throne, he can also learn from the old alliance of the three surnames and consolidate his power.The current situation forced these people to give up those contradictions and differences, and unite together, otherwise in the future, once Si Chenghuang borrowed the power of San Jin, people like himself would become meat on the chopping block.

The meaning of republic is different at this time and later generations.

In the past, when the people of the country rioted, the Gongbohe administration did not change the Yuan, so it was called the Republic.It does not mean the same thing as Zhougong Shaogong and the people of the country, although the two are actually different records of the same thing.

In the early years, Zhou Gongfu became a king at a young age, which also meant the same thing. At this time, the republic in the mouth of the nobles meant that several nobles discussed state affairs together.Take Gong Bohe's harmony, and dare not use the story of Zhou Gongfu becoming a king. One is that the people of Zhou dare not compare, and the other is that the incident happened after the riots of the Chinese people. Coup means more.

Nowadays, everyone in Shangqiu knew that Emperor Sicheng sent Sanhe as a gift to Jin Sanzong, and the nobles were very clear about the hidden meaning behind it.

Now, who can come up with a better gift than those three pairs of Jiahe to make friends with San Jin?Although pearls and jade are precious, how can they compare with those things that are in line with the destiny?How can it compare to the wish of the Marquis of the Three Jin Dynasties?

Thinking of this incident, everyone present felt extremely regretful.

Thinking of this person who is now well-known in Shangqiu, he is considered a talented person, but he was just the son of a shoemaker back then.If they had known this before, they would have gotten married back then, or had gotten Jiahe earlier than Si Chenghuang, and things would not have been like this now.

No one would have thought that a small person who was as unnoticed as an ant in the past would make these nobles regret it and have a headache.

Regretted in his heart, but he wanted to scold Si Chenghuang for his ulterior motives, as if if they could do this, they would definitely not do it.

After scolding for a long time and talking about Si Chenghuang's ambitions, still no one dared to speak directly and say the words of covenant and pledge to achieve great things together.

Seeing this, Dayin Lingqi finally shouted: "I have something to say, please listen carefully. But this word has entered your ears and should not be passed on to outsiders. If you can agree, please make an oath."

What these people are waiting for is a leader. Without the leader's oath, many things cannot be said clearly, and it is difficult to achieve major events.

Ling Qi rolled up her sleeves, pulled out the dagger she was carrying with her, put it on her arm and said: "This is the end of the matter, regretting is useless. I know that everyone thought that if they met that suit early in the year, they would get the Jiahe knot from there." What about the Three Jins... but Sicheng has already done it first, so I can't think about it anymore."

"The oath must be sacrificed with blood. I will cut my finger on my finger, lest people will know my oath, so I will cut my arm today. Everyone, take the jade on your body to sacrifice to the heavens. The blood jade reaches the sky. Anyone who breaks the oath will be disgusted by the heavens!"

After speaking, he untied his pendant and placed it in front of everyone.The rest of the people untied the jade one after another and put it away together. Taizhu thought about the alliance text temporarily, and everyone cut their arms and poured blood on the jade.

Taizhu composition, everyone prayed together, and vowed that these words would not be passed on to anyone other than today.

Seeing that the crowd did not hesitate, Ling Qi said, "The nursery rhyme has been spread all over Shangqiu, and it is in accordance with the destiny, but the destiny is difficult to detect. Unless Lao Peng and other hermits reappear, no one will know. Although it is in accordance with the destiny, you must be careful. I have a plan , listen up, everyone."

"Duan Yuyan, Zheng Boke's uncle in the past, can be used at this time! Don't be in a hurry."
