Chapter 274: Chen Guo Can't Be Destroyed, I Said
It was a pleasure for Wei Xiang to argue with Shi Xie, but today Wei Xiang did not refute it for the first time.
Shi Xie's nose was about to hit Wei Xiang's face: "Tell me, what exactly do you think?"
Wei Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I did nothing."
Shi Xie was furious: "Everyone is a man, do you think I don't know what you think?"
Wei Xiang rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I really don't have much thought."
Shi Xie brought Wei Xiang to the front of the Shihui.
After listening to Shi Xie's report, the Saihui, who had a calm look, subconsciously held the bamboo slip in his hand: "What's going on, you guy?"
Wei Xiang said seriously: "Uncle, I did nothing!"
The bamboo slips in the hands of the Scholars began to rise high.
Wei Xiang hurriedly said, "She came to find Brother Shi Xie, and she has nothing to do with me. And she came to the door. What can I do? I can't drive her away. By the way, she and I have the Ji surname, and we can't intermarry with the same surname!"
The scholar put down the bamboo slips, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I just want to do something practical, why are there so many troubles?"
The old, two little ones stared at each other, and could not come up with any idea for a while.
He is a princess, and his identity is there. He is here to meet the Master as his master in the Emperor's City. Can guests such as Wei Xiang still stop him?
Although this era also emphasizes the defense between men and women, it is far from the point where men and women are completely forbidden to contact each other in later Neo-Confucianism.
After a while, the Shihui stared at Wei Xiang fiercely and said, "From today on, you have been following me, never leaving me!"
Ji Yao returned to the palace and met the Emperor Zhou.
"What's wrong?" the emperor asked, with obvious hope on his face.
Ji Yao thought for a while and said, "It's going well."
The emperor nodded and said with great satisfaction: "Okay. That's it. From now on, you can go to find Shi Xie every day. When Shi Xie really falls in love with you, everything will be done. Do you understand?"
Ji Yao nodded very well and left.
Back in the room, Ji Yao sat quietly in front of the window, her pretty face full of haze that could not be dissipated.
After a long time, a sigh.
In the days that followed, Wei Xiang followed Shi Xie obediently with the old man of Shihui every day, and he was indecisive except sleeping.
Of course, the princess never saw her again.
Two months passed, and Wei Xiang followed the scholars to study the law every day, and he had a deeper understanding of the Zhou Dynasty's system.
Compared with "law", the Zhou Dynasty's system was more inclined to "ritual".
Use etiquette as a norm for people's daily life, and punish or condemn behaviors that are not etiquette.
Although there are certain provisions in terms of law, overall, the law of the Zhou Dynasty can only be regarded as an appendix of rituals, because the right to interpret the law is in the hands of the lords and rulers such as the emperor, princes, and doctors.
Wei Xiang knew in his previous life that the "final right to explain" was very unreliable.
The Shihui obviously felt something, and asked Wei Xiang during the meal: "How do you think the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty should be improved?"
Wei Xiang said without hesitation: "Abolish the system of abolishing the Lord and the doctors can own the territory, army and tax collection rights, and take the power of the Six Lords back to the king, and then the Great Jin Dynasty will be invincible in the world."
This sentence made Shi Xie, who was concentrating on his meal, squirt up: "How is this possible?"
Wei Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I were the Lord, I would find a way to do this."
Shi Xie shouted, "You are not the Lord, and if any Lord does this, then he will..."
With a bang, a pig bone hit Shi Xie's face directly. It was the old man of Shihui who took action.
"Nizi, are you talking nonsense there!"
Shi Xie knew that he had made up his words and closed his mouth awkwardly.
The President of Shi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wei Xiang and said, "Although I hope to be loyal to the office, such a law cannot be taken by me."
Wei Xiang nodded and smiled, "Actually, things are very simple, isn't it? Jun Hou wants to be in power, so he needs a law that can make him take power. If you want to improve your reputation, then this should be a law that can improve your reputation. As for the ideas of others, is it important?"
The scholar was silent for a while and said, "We will return to our country the next day."
This sentence surprised Shi Xie and Wei.
Shi Xie said: "Why did my father return to China so quickly?"
Wei Xiang asked, "Who won?"
The old Shihui glared at Shi Xie, then said to Wei Xiang: "There is no win or loss, it is the destruction of Chen State."
A few months ago, after the retreat of Yingshui, the King of Chu happened to meet the outbreak of Xia Zhengshu's rebellion, so he led his troops to the State of Chen.
Although the State of Chen is also one of the princes of the Central Plains, its position is relatively east-facing and is one of the rare princes of the Central Plains who have always favored the Chu State during the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu.
In anger, Xia Zhengshu killed Chen Linggong, who forced his mother. Although it was understandable, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of Chen.
You are a regicide.
Therefore, when the King of Chu led his troops as the eldest brother of the Chen State Alliance and issued the order to "only kill Xia Zhengshu and not implicate others", the Chen State people turned against each other.
The Chu army almost effortlessly attacked the capital of Chen State and then killed Xia Zhengshu.
Taking the routines of the Spring and Autumn Period, the eldest brother of Chu helped the younger brother of Chen to quell the civil strife and eliminate the treacherous Xia Zhengshu. The next thing should be to establish a new king of Chen, and then the new king gave Chu a lot of benefits. Chu gained fame and gained benefits, and left happily.
The King of Chu is not.
The King of Chu waved his hand and announced directly: "From now on, there will be no prince of Chen, and all the land of Chen will be merged into the Great Chu and become the territory of the Great Chu!"
Good guy, the elder brother went to my younger brother's house to eliminate the treacherous slander. After eliminating it, he occupied my younger brother's house from homestead to farmland, from chickens, ducks, geese, to plows, rakes, hoes and shovels.
This kind of behavior is no wonder that the Chu State has always been called the Southern Barbarians.
The demise of the Chen Kingdom shocked the world.
Among the princes of the Central Plains, Chen State was smaller than the four second-rate princes of Zheng, Wei, Song and Lu, but larger than other incomparable princes. It belonged to such a country at the end of the second-rate princes.
It is no trivial to be annexed a second-rate prince.
As the leader of the Central Plains, Jin State, the leader of the world, and the world in the Chinese world, must be well managed.
As the deputy sheriff of the Chinese World, the Scholar Association naturally had to return to China to discuss matters.
After Shi Hui finished speaking, Shi Xie's face was also very serious, while Wei Xiang yawned.
The Shihui glared at Wei Xiang and said, "You are also a doctor. You may still have a chance to become a noble clan. You can't be so despised by the great affairs of the world!"
