528 Throne
Soon, the big court meeting began.
The etiquette and etiquette during the Yin and Shang Dynasties were very complicated. As an upstart developed from the Qingmu tribe, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had no one in the territory who understood these etiquette and etiquette, and Yang Xin did not care about these etiquette. This resulted in Yang Xin's dissatisfaction with the Yin and Shang Dynasty.
Etiquette and etiquette are in darkness.
Fortunately, Yang Xin followed Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu closely, and Yang Xin did whatever Jiang Huanchu did. Although there was a suppression of the fate of the race within Chaoge, ordinary Qi practitioners had to be careful when coming to Chaoge.
But Yang Xin belongs to the human race, and with Yang Xin's strength, he can easily sense Emperor Xin on the throne. Yang Xin clearly felt that the corners of Emperor Xin's eyes twitched when he saw his pretentious movements, but Yang Xin did not
No matter what, he still followed Dongbohou and mingled with the princes to make up his mind.
The etiquette during the Yin and Shang Dynasties was relatively simple. First, mourning for the deceased king, then welcoming the new king, etc., took seven days and nights to complete.
After everything was over, Di Xin, as the new king of Dashang, began to meet with the princes and said some indifferent official words, which were nothing more than empty words like hello, me, hello, everyone. Then, Di Xin began to let
After paying the tribute, all the eight hundred princes were driven away, leaving only the four major princes in the southeast, northwest and the newly promoted Eastern Zhou Hou Yang Xin.
After Emperor Yi had a grand banquet with Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Xibohou Jichang, Nanbohou E Chongyu, Beibohou Chonghou Hu, and East Zhouhou Yang Xin, he began to receive everyone one by one.
"The Marquis of Eastern Zhou was able to develop a Qingmu tribe with less than a hundred people into a powerful vassal land in more than forty years. It shows the talent of the Marquis of Eastern Zhou. How about not being as good as the Marquis of Eastern Zhou when he entered the court and became a public servant?" Emperor
Xin asked with a smile.
Yang Xin did not answer immediately, but looked at Di Xin carefully, and then asked with a smile: "Did the king say this to the four princes in the southeast, northwest and northwest?"
Emperor Xin was stunned. Yang Xin's answer was too novel and very rude. However, Emperor Xin did not get angry, but laughed and said: "Yes. Dong Bohou has told the Duke of Dongzhou what he said ten days ago.
Zi Shou."
Just from these short conversations, Yang Xin knew that Emperor Yi was really not the tyranny and debauchery described in later history books, and it was all false. Emperor Yi strictly said that he was the same existence as Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang.
The master of great talent and great strategy just took too big a step and wasted his time.
The so-called leaving the four major princes here means that they are promoted openly and secretly. It seems that they are public and one level higher than the marquis, but if the four major princes are isolated from the territory, then whether it is to mix sand, instigate rebellion, or even annex,
Isn’t it all up to Di Xin to have the final say?
The Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed eight hundred princes. After more than eight hundred years of iron and fire wars, the Qin State unified the world and completely abolished the enfeoffment system and changed it to the county system. Now, eight hundred years ago, Emperor Xin began to weaken
It would be surprising if the signs and actions of the princes' privileges did not fail.
Yang Xin took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Di Xin.
"What is this?" Di Xin took the paper and looked over it.
"This is paper. This kind of paper is very cheap to make, and it is also suitable for writing and carrying. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has used paper as a carrier of knowledge and civilization. Although this paper is important, the content on the paper is more important. The content on the paper
This is my real tribute from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Yang Xin said.
After listening to what Yang Xin said, Emperor Xin focused on the words on the paper. He saw on the paper: Ten thousand shi of refined salt, one hundred thousand shi of fine grain and wheat seeds, one hundred thousand shi of fine grain corn seeds, carpenter
One hundred, one hundred for blacksmiths, one hundred for doctors, one thousand for masters.
"This... is too precious. The great sage of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a great talent!" Di Xin's hand holding the paper began to tremble.
How could the wealthy Emperor Xin of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not know this?
Whether it is wheat that can be grown twice a year and yields nearly one stone per acre, or corn that can mature in one season, or advanced production tools, etc., they have long been famous all over the world, and even princes from all over the country have bought them at high prices. Now, Yang
The letter was actually offered to Emperor Xin so generously. How could Emperor Xin not be excited?
Yang Xin did not think so much. Yang Xin just wanted to extend the life of the Shang Dynasty first, and secondly, to obtain the luck of humanity. Humanity will prosper. The more grain seeds the human race will use from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the more farming tools they will use from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The more there are, the more luck Yang Xin will get.
At this time, Yang Xin's luck and merits are as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of Qi practitioners. If you really open your eyes to see Yang Xin, you will definitely be blinded by Yang Xin's huge luck and merits.
"Your Majesty should not let the eight hundred princes leave." Yang Xin suddenly said quietly.
"Oh?" Di Xin raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to signal the guards and maids to leave, leaving Yang Xin alone in the entire hall.
"You won't let the eight hundred princes leave, right?" Di Xin said, making a downward motion.
"If your Majesty really wants to do it, everyone in the world will rebel immediately." Yang Xin said with a bitter smile.
"What do you mean by the Marquis of Eastern Zhou?" Di Xin also smiled. Di Xin also knew that what Yang Xin said would definitely not be that simple.
"Isn't what the king wants to do is to weaken the power of the princes? But the king has taken too big a step, and the method is too rigid." Yang Xin said, handing over another piece of paper.
After Di Xin took it, he only glanced at it a few times, his face changed drastically, and his hands couldn't stop shaking again. After Di Xin quickly read it twice, he immediately burned the paper to ashes. What's even more exaggerated is that Di Xin
Xin swallowed the paper ash directly.
"You really shouldn't let the eight hundred princes leave." Emperor Xin beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"To be precise, these eight hundred princes should not be allowed to leave so early." Yang Xin said with a smile.
The content on the paper that Yang Xin handed to Emperor Xin was very simple. It was a favor order issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to strengthen centralization. But this order was a magic weapon to strengthen centralization in any era.
The inheritance system of Dashang and various princes is also the eldest son inheritance, but the Tuien Order does not matter whether you are the eldest son, the second son, or the concubine. As long as you are your son, your territory will be divided equally after your death.
.
Yes, in order to intensify the internal fighting between the princes' sons, Yang Xin directly divided the princes equally. Those with few children were better, but those with many children, especially princes like Xibohou who claimed to have a hundred sons, had internal fighting.
It would be strange not to fight until the sky is dark and the earth is dark.
If we really want to go ahead with the Tuien Order, will the Zhou Kingdom that was split into a hundred vassal kingdoms still be the same Zhou Kingdom that represented the Shang Dynasty? Yang Xin couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
Di Xin also smiled.
"The Marquis of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is a great talent! Zi Meng's sister Gui Mei has been married to the Marquis of Xibo. Zi Meng does not have a biological sister. If she does, she will marry the Marquis of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Emperor Xin sighed repeatedly. He really wished that he had another biological sister. Yang Xin
It would be a great disservice to the ancestors of the Yin and Shang dynasties if we did not tie this kind of talent to a chariot.
The Tui En Order is really the absolute magic weapon to solve the disasters of the Yin and Shang princes. However, Emperor Xin still modified the Tui En Order according to the actual situation. The status of the eldest son is different from that of the second son, concubine, etc., so of course the territory cannot be divided equally, and the territory must be divided equally.
Different territories are allocated according to different statuses, so as to arouse unnecessary resistance within a certain range.
Even so, Emperor Xin had already imagined that the heirs of various princes were fighting fiercely to divide the territories. Pushing the favor order would definitely arouse the vigilance and opposition of the smart princes, such as Xibohou Jichang and others, but it could not withstand his
With many heirs, Ji Chang could suppress them for a while, but not for a lifetime. After Ji Chang died, Yang Xin did not believe that the Zhou Kingdom would not be in civil strife.
Moreover, Xibohou Jichang is already old, and Emperor Xin is still very young. Emperor Xin can afford to wait, and he can definitely kill Jichang.
