Chapter 72: The Golden Sound of the Axe (Part 2)

He did not even think of watching these nobles fighting for power without telling Mo Zi's concocting these nursery rhymes.

It was like a person with a purpose, who threw a piece of flesh and bone among a group of dogs and left with his hands behind his back.

He didn't have the interest in watching dogs bite, but just wanted to make hundreds of dogs bark so that he could do things that once caused dogs to bark.

The cicadas are louder in the forest, and the birds are singing more quiet, and the mountains are even more quiet. On the other hand, the forests are messy and cicadas are silent, and the birds are not chirping. It is not noiseless and silent, but is hidden by the forests.

The people of Shangqiu City did not have much emotion about Song Gong's death, but just told each other that they knew.

The Song people experienced too much in the battle for power and coups and expulsion of the nobles, and the nobles also practiced too much.

As early as when Zigou's father took office, the Song State had already staged a classic alliance between nobles.

As descendants of the organizers of the coup that year, they had already mastered the pure ones.

In the past, when Duke Jing of Song died on the way to travel, Da Yin secretly refused to die and quietly brought Duke Jing's body back.

He borrowed the name of Duke Jing to attract the Six Queens of Song State, saying that Duke Jing was seriously ill and asked the Six Queens to swear to not do anything to be sorry to the office, otherwise he would be punished by heaven.

The Great Yin supported Prince Qi, because he invited the Six Lords to swear an oath under the name of King Jing, so he did not participate.

The fiefs of Dayin, Gongzi Qi, and their sect were mostly far away and were slowly mobilized.

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 before he was sick, and Dayin still kept his mourning secretly. How did the king die? Isn’t this clear?

This will incite the dissatisfaction of the nobles and Chinese people in the city.

Dayin thought that Liuqing wanted to work together to deal with him, but he did not make an oath with them, so he quickly asked Taizhu to help write the oath and wanted to make an oath with Liuqing.

Tai Zhu judged the situation and found that Sicheng had begun to mobilize private troops and had a great advantage in Shangqiu. In a blink of an eye, he sold the news of the oath to Sicheng.

Sicheng asked Dazhu to tamper with his oath and spread rumors that Dayin killed the monarch and seized power everywhere, and united with Leshi, Zuo Shi, Men Yin and others. After everyone discussed it, they vowed that after they gained great power in the future, the nobles of the three surnames would be republic.

On the same day, Sicheng and others sent their money and weapons to the private army to deploy, telling them not to worry about being undeveloped in the future. At that time, the deployment members shouted loudly that we would not recognize anyone except Sicheng in Song State. Your words were the same as the monarch's words.

Then he made a coup overnight and supported Gongzi De. Gongzi De was not the first heir, but Gongzi Qicai was, so Gongzi De recognized the oath of republic in return for the republic of the three surnames.

Time passes, and decades have passed in a blink of an eye.

Sicheng was no longer the same person back then, but it was the descendants of those people back then.

All this that their grandfathers did is an excellent family textbook for them now.

The common enemy that was then disappeared and there was no power, and no one could comply with the covenant that year, and the allies of that year became the enemies now.

There are no eternal enemies, so there are no eternal allies.

The biggest lesson of the coup in the past was that the covenant was useless. The most useful thing was their own private soldiers. Whoever could mobilize the private soldiers in the fiefdom to control the situation first would be the winner.

Learning from history, this time, the body of Song Gongsuo was still transported from Itachi land to Shangqiu. The nobles of all surnames in the city had begun to gather their trusted subordinates and private subordinates to quickly return to their respective fiefs to prepare to mobilize the soldiers in the fief.

At the same time, the lesson of returning to Sicheng to directly control Shangqiu was learned. The nobles of Sicheng Emperor who united to fight against the greatest forces gathered together to gather their soldiers in Shangqiu to prevent Sicheng Emperor from using his old tricks again, and then learn about Sicheng affairs back then.

The people of Shangqiu have seen many coups in recent years, and have experienced the great disasters in the past few years and the squandering of the king. They have long since been less likely to be incited as decades ago. They just watched the changes and would not participate again.

Whoever becomes the king will be the same for the people at this time, but the only difference is the nobles.

The nobles were each preparing secretly, but in the court there were still crying bodies that were worried about the country and the people.

Gongzi Tian, ​​who was about to be in the twentieth year, was very happy about his father's death. He felt that he had finally had the opportunity to show his strength and that his previous ambitions would soon be realized.

But on the surface, it still needs to be very sad. Not only should it be very sad, but it should also be even more sad than Sicheng Emperor. Sicheng Emperor cried so hard that he fainted three times. How could he do if he was a son who did not faint four times?

Gongzi Tian looked down on his father, thinking that his father was not a qualified monarch, and he looked down on his father's humble attitude towards Chu the most.

Chu Nai's barbarians and a small viscount, why should he go to the hajj?

Back then, Shang Tang could achieve great things only a hundred miles away, Goujian could only win over three thousand Wu, but now Song Dynasty has a thousand miles away, so why should he be so humble? As long as he practices benevolent government and strengthens the country, he may not be unable to do the Xianggong business in the past.

At this time, he did not know that the country was small but not humble, and the country was weak but not afraid of strength... All kinds of things that could be praised for their courage in the Spring and Autumn Period were a sign of the destruction of the country in the Warring States Period.

Times have changed.

After he was beaten by the Three Jins of Chu, he finally understood this truth, but he was almost dead.

Later, the Song State finally woke up from the dream of a great country and became extremely smooth: Later Zhao Wei turned against him, Wei surrounded Handan and forced Song to send troops. Song immediately agreed to mobilize the whole country, and then sent people to Zhao State, saying that if you let a city come out, we will do it. So Song soldiers surrounded an empty city for more than half a year. The King of Wei praised Song Gong for his efforts, and Zhao also thanked Song Gong for his patrol.

If he had the mind of his younger generation at this time, he might have really achieved something, but now he was thinking about King Shang Tang and Yue defeating the strong with the weak, and felt that if he was the king, he would not be as cowardly as his father.

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

Moreover, Qi still occupies the enclave of Guanqiu, so he took advantage of the opportunity of several countries to attack Qi to win Guanqiu and become the foundation laying ceremony for the powerful Song Dynasty.

It seems like a brilliant picture of the Song Dynasty dominating the Central Plains again, which has been depicted on those three liters of plain cloth.

...

In Shangqiu City, somewhere in the tightly guarded by soldiers, Zigou's younger brother Shucen Xi, Da Yin of Song State, Tai Zhu, Zuo Shi and others gathered in one place, representing their respective families.

The soldiers outside were all dead soldiers trained by a large amount of money. Even if the Sicheng Emperor had a strong power, he could not easily attack. Moreover, the Sicheng Emperor had not yet been buried, and the Sicheng Emperor would not take the blame for the world at this time.

Da Yin Lingqi looked at Cen Xi and said softly: "Have you heard of the nursery rhyme from Shangqiu recently?"

Cen Xi's face remained unchanged, and a few alertness arose in his heart. He said with a sob: "Shangqiu is singing, why didn't I hear it? It is said that this nursery rhyme was passed down by a hermit like Lao Peng. Alas... the hermit is talented, but this nursery rhyme is a little... Alas!"

He looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. Seeing that Zi Cen Xi was still pretending, Da Yin Lingqi sneered in his heart and said, "The nursery rhymes are the ones who follow the will of heaven. We must observe it. Everyone knows the destruction of Bu Yan's nursery rhymes, so how can we not believe it? Now that the disaster of Song is approaching, it's a pity that Sicheng is only for personal gain, and is afraid of disaster."

These people were the nobles who opposed the Sicheng Emperor's Sect. Of course, they heard the nursery rhymes and had different thoughts.

But everyone was still scared of the rebellion of Taizhu back then. Now, how can we easily talk to each other? 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 surrender again in the future. If something big will not be done in the future, the Sicheng Emperor will not be able to kill him. But if he becomes the leader, he may be exiled by the clan in the future.

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

If Cen Xi gained the throne in the future, he could also learn from the three surnames of the Republic and consolidate his power. The current situation forces these people to give up the contradictions and differences and unite together. Otherwise, once Si Chenghuang borrows the power of the Three Jins in the future, he will become the meat of the chopping board.

The meaning of republic is different from that of later generations.

In the past, when the Chinese people rioted, Gongbohe was in charge and did not change the era, he was called the Republic. The Republic, which was held in charge of state affairs with Duke Shao of Zhou and the people of the country, did not mean the same thing, although the two were actually different records of the same thing.

In the early days, Zhou Gongfu became king when he was young, which was similar. At this time, the republic mentioned by the nobles was the intention of discussing the affairs of several major nobles in state affairs. The story of Gongbo-he, but he did not dare to use the story of Zhou Gongfu becoming king. One way, the Zhou Gong people dare not compare, and the other way, the incident happened after the riot of the Chinese people was not the same as Zhou Gongfu becoming king. After all, it was a coup that happened more.

Now, Shangqiu is already aware of the fact that Emperor Sicheng gave the three sects to the three sects of Jin with Sanhe as a gift, and these nobles are even more sober.

Now, who can bring out a better gift than those three pairs of Jiahe to make friends with the Three Jins? Although pearls and jade are valuable, how can they compare to those things that are in line with destiny? How can they compare to the wish of becoming a marquis of the Three Jins?

Thinking of this, everyone present felt extremely regretful.

Thinking that Shi is now famous in Shangqiu and is considered a talented person, but he was just the son of a shoemaker back then. If he had known this, he would have been together back then, or if he had obtained Jiahe earlier than Sicheng Emperor, things would not have been like this now.

No one had ever thought that a little person who was like an ant would be ignored, but now these nobles regretted it and had a headache.

He regretted it in his heart, but he wanted to scold Emperor Sicheng for his ulterior motives, as if they would not do it if they could do this.

After scolding for a long time, he talked about the ambitions of Sicheng Emperor, but no one dared to speak directly about the words of swearing together to carry out major events.

Seeing this, the Great Yin Lingqi finally shouted, "I have something to say, please listen quietly. But this statement is heard by you and will not be passed on to outsiders. If you can agree, please swear."

These people are waiting for a leader. Without a leader, many words cannot be said explicitly, and it is impossible to achieve great things.

Ling Qi rolled up his sleeves, pulled out the short sword he carried with him, and put it on his arm and said, "It's time to come, and regret is useless. I know everyone thinks that if they met that comfort soon, what would be better than the Sanjin if they got Jiahejie from there... But Sicheng has done it first, and I can't think about it anymore."

"I will sacrifice blood for the oath. I will cut my fingers and fear that people will know that we will cut my arms today. You will take your own jade to enjoy the heavens. The blood and jade will reach the sky. Anyone who violates the oath will be disgusted with it!"

After saying that, he took off his jade and placed it in front of everyone. The rest of the people untied the jade and put it all together. Tai Zhu thought about the alliance text temporarily, and everyone cut his arms and poured blood on the jade.

The great blessings were written by everyone, and everyone prayed and vowed that these words would not be passed on to people outside today.

Seeing that everyone was not hesitating, Lingqi said, "The nursery rhymes spread throughout Shangqiu, and the emperor responded to the destiny of heaven, but the destiny of heaven is difficult to detect. Unless Lao Peng and other hermits reappear, no one will know. Although it is in line with the destiny of heaven, you must be careful. I have a plan, so you can listen to it."
