The Jade Emperor Told Me to Live-stream! Chapter 557: The 3 Capitals of Confucius (Part 1)
In the face of the powerful Qi State, in the alliance, Lu State actually did not have much strength to fight for.
However, as the reincarnation of Hanzhen, Confucius has experienced too many things, rich experience, and he suddenly thought of one thing.
That is, in a previous war, Lu State had forcibly ceded the three counties of Yundi, Ruidi, and Guiyang to Qi State, which has not been returned yet.
Confucius bowed to Jing Gong and talked eloquently: "If the Qi army leaves the country, Lu must send three hundred armoured vehicles to follow Qi, and we should follow. But you do not return our Wenyang land, but let We help you in the war, what is this? Please return our land, we will definitely help you in the war, as evidenced by the pledge!"
Yundi, Ruidi, and Guiyang were originally the land of the Lu Kingdom. Since they are allies, there is no reason to occupy them.
Qi Jinggong had no reason to refuse, so he had to return all the land of Yundi, Yudi, and Guiyang to the State of Lu.
This time the League of Lu State has taken a huge advantage. This is not only the success of Lu State, but also the success of Confucius.
Confucius's reputation was instantly beaten out, and the people of Qilu, especially the people of Lu, were amazed by the fact that Confucius took back a large piece of homeland without any effort.
In addition to the hype by Confucius' disciples, Confucius's reputation was the same for the time being, and there was no mention of the matter of Zhu Shaozhengmao.
Gong Lu Ding regained the land of the three counties when he saw it easily. This was a great achievement and he was naturally extremely happy.
For the great heroes in this matter, Siko Confucius and Lu Ding also greatly rewarded Confucius from being in charge of criminal and prison litigation to Situ, in charge of civil affairs, in charge of household registration, and Sima, in charge of managing the army, and in charge of land. Like Sikong, he became one of the three most important positions in the vassal state.
Han Zhen used to be the four auxiliary members of Nanfang Buzhou. What he did was to manage civil affairs and other related affairs. He was naturally familiar with his political achievements, and "the Quartet will do it."
But at this time, Lu is the time of external and internal troubles.
The real power of the State of Lu is not in the hands of Lu Ding, but in the hands of the Qing doctors Meng Sun, Shu Sun, and Ji Sun Sanhuan. Lu Ding has become a puppet.
Speaking of Sanhuan, I have to start with Lu Huan.
Gong Lu Huan has four sons, and his eldest son Lu Zhuang inherits the monarch of Lu. Named Meng clan and Mengsun clan), the second son Shuya (posthumous postage, and the descendants are called Shusun clan), and the second son Jiyou (postemousness, the descendant is called Ji clan) were all sealed by Luzhuang under the feudal system Officials are officials, and descendants have formed large families.
Because the three families all came from after Lu Huan, they are called "San Huan".
According to Confucius’ observation, although Sanhuan nominally controls the rights of the Lu State, their rights are also emptied and controlled by their servants, such as the Yanghu of the Ji clan, and the Gongshan not humiliated, Shu Sun Noor and others.
Lu State not only has internal worries, but also because of internal worries, the national power fades, and external troubles follow.
The northern part of Lu is a big country Qi, and its national strength is more than several times that of Lu. The surrounding areas of Lu include Ju, Tan, Xu, Song, and Wei. It can be said that there are countries around him. The environment in countries surrounded by big countries is very harsh.
In addition, there is also an untimely bomb in the State of Lu, that is, Lord Lu Ding has only one son named Ji Jiang, who is extremely weak and the issue of heirs is a big problem.
After Confucius became the boss of Situ, Lu gradually became stronger and naturally attracted the attention of Lu Sanhuan and external forces. Many people regarded Confucius as a thorn in the eye.
At this time, on the one hand, while enhancing the strength of the Lu State, Confucius focused his attention on the issue of Lu State Sanhuan on the other hand, and then proposed the actions of the three capitals.
Sanhuan built cities as the center of governance. The Ji Sun family built a city in Fei, the Meng Sun family built a city in Niao, and the Shu Sun family built a city in Piao. As Sanhuan became stronger, Sanhuan's retainers gradually took power, often launching rebellions based on the city.
Of course, Confucius did this to take care of Lu Ding's public office and improve Lu Jun's status, but this is bound to offend Sanhuan.
Confucius found a very good reason. Confucius explained the matter: "Sanhuan originally held a heavy soldier and had a high position, but Sanhuan’s food town was controlled by Yizai. This is Threatening the power of the master."
Hearing this explanation, the doctors Meng Sun, Shu Sun, and Ji Sun all nodded and said yes. Although they understood Confucius' ulterior motives, they finally agreed to Confucius' claims.
This is because Dr. Qing Meng Sun, Shu Sun, and Ji Sun have not been bullied by their own clerks, and their retainers, as Confucius said, have the tendency to lose their heads.
Nankuai once rebelled under Feiyi, but failed for years; Hou criminals rebelled under Pengyi, but had been surrounded and failed for a whole year, as well as Yanghu, Gongshanbuxuan, etc., all of this type.
These retainers occupies the city and it is difficult to conquer, because these cities are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The retainers have betrayed several times. As Sanhuan, it is difficult to deal with them for various reasons. This makes Sanhuan a headache.
Confucius's proposal can make the Qing doctors Meng Sun, Shu Sun, and Ji Sun justify the weakening of the power of their retainers, which is more conducive to their rule.
According to the thoughts of the Qing doctors Meng Sun, Shu Sun and Ji Sun: "Gong Lu Ding is just a person, and he does not have any power in his hands. Even if he adds some power and can compare with us, After we truly conquer these retainers, our strength will definitely increase."
The contemporary ruling Shusun Shu Sun Zhouqiu expressed his willingness to obey the policies of Confucius, and he publicly said: "He is willing to take the lead in destroying Wu Yi, and set an example for the other two."
Uncle Sun’s words are beautiful, but Hou Yi is no longer in his grasp at this time. Of course, he is willing to be a good friend.
It turned out that Xiyi was the territory of the Shusun clan, but Ruoxiao, the master of Yiyi, was very strong.
The previous generation of Uncle Sun’s Patriarch, Uncle Sun Chengzi, wanted to establish Uncle Sun Zhouqiu as his heir, and Ji Yi Zai Gong Ruoxiao firmly opposed.
In the end, Shusun Chengzi still made Shusun Zhouqiu, so Shusun Zhouqiu was very upset with Gong Ruoxiao.
After waiting for the position to be stable, Ma Zhenghou, a criminal of Shusun Zhou’s enemy faction, assassinated Gong Ruoxiao, but failed. The atmosphere inside the Shusun clan suddenly became tense.
Uncle Sun Zhouqiu scolded Hou criminal for this, and Hou criminal held a grudge.
A man in charge of horses under Hou criminal offered a plan to Hou criminal: "I passed the court with a sword. Gong Ruoxiao would definitely ask who the sword belongs to. I told him it was yours. Gong Ruoxiao might have to be careful. Look at this sword, and then I pretend to be ignorant of etiquette and hand him the tip of the sword to kill him!"
Hou Fang thought it was wonderful~IndoMTL.com~ and he did what he planned. Gong Ruoming really wanted to see the sword, and he knew very well that the horseman might assassinate him, but Gong Ruoxiao was a famous strongman in the Lu country. He claimed to be infinitely powerful, and the horseman could not help him.
While watching the sword, Gong Ruoxiao actually said jokingly: "Do you think of me as Wang Lio?" Unexpectedly, the horsemanship is more powerful. With a little force, the sword tip is inserted into Gong Ruoxiao's neck. Do not scorn to death.
As soon as he saw it, he did not take revenge on Shusun Zhou, but instead led the people to defect. Shusun Zhouqiu didn't expect that Gong Ruo contemptuously did not turn back, but Hou Fang turned back first. In a rage, he led his troops to surround Yundi, but he could not attack for a long time.
Shu Sun Zhouqiu even invited Gongnan and Qi army to encircle Piandi again, but still did not capture it. Piao Di was still in the hands of the criminal Hou.
Shu Sun Zhouqiu said to Confucius: "Confucius, if you can take back the land within a year, let alone destroy the land, I will give it to you."
Confucius said: "Is this true?"
"One word is the final word!" Shusun Zhou said, "Our army has been under siege for many years, but we have not succeeded. You can succeed in just one year. It is a dream."
