Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 147 Is the Mandate of Heaven in Qin?
On the way Mencius went to Wei, a great war suddenly broke out between Qin and Wei. The battle between Qin and Wei started from the change of hands in Hexi, and Qin had the upper hand. , No matter how strong the courtier is, it is useless.

At the critical moment of the fate of Qin and Wei, if God did not favor Wei, then failure would follow. In order to avoid the edge of Qin, Wei even moved the capital to the land on the east side.

The most important thing is that Hangu Pass fell into the hands of Qin people!

The line of defense from the plateau to the Yellow River to Hangu Pass envisioned in the Xianyang Palace in the past has finally been successfully constructed.

It has been more than 600 years since Duke Xuan vigorously built this grand pass, then handed it over to Jin State, and finally was inherited by Wei State.

But now this grand pass has fallen, and Weihanzhigu has fallen into the hands of the Qin people for the first time, and this incident has attracted the attention of the world.

The passing of the King of Qin had little effect on the State of Qin, and Wei Yang, who created a strong Qin State, had no effect on the State of Qin at the moment the reform was completed.

Under the forging of the Qin Law, the Qin people have completely transformed into war machines. The system of farming and warfare has been implemented in all aspects of Qin. With talent, he recruited the most talented people from the six kingdoms to Qin, and then cooperated with Qin to squeeze the potential to the extreme. It can be called an invincible farming and warfare system, which is really unmatched in the world.

The most shocking ones were Chu State and Zhou royal family. After the fall of Wei State, the Zhou royal family in Luoyi almost faced Qin State’s soldiers.

Zhou Tianzi yelled at the eunuch in the palace: "Send a letter to Luo Guo quickly, what should I do? If the Qin people come to seize the tripod, what will I do?"

The state of Chu was even more shaken. Among all the countries in the world, the countries that had the deepest bond with Qin were Luo and Chu.

The state of Qin was enfeoffed by Duke Luo Xuan, and the original land and power of Qin State were given by Duke Xuan.

As for the relationship between Chu State and Qin State, since Mrs. Xuan Mi entered Qin State, there has been a blood alliance for more than 100 years, and the good relationship between the two parties is like honey.

The state of Chu was defeated by the state of Wu, or it was the state of Qin who personally sent troops to restore the state. In order to fight against the Ji Jiang alliance, the two sides also jointly developed Bashu, and they intermarried countless times.

Qin Chu's goodness is the only one that can be compared with Qi Luo's goodness.

Later, although they seemed to be close together, they still joined hands to fight against the Jijiang alliance. They never expected that the country in the western frontier of the past would suddenly be so strong that it could take away a large area of ​​​​Wei's land.

Yingdu.

The political struggle in the state of Chu began to become more and more intense, and the talk of reform began to be raised again. There were even some nobles with vested interests among them. The reason is to want to change.

Then these people left Yingdu and came to the distant land of Wu, the fief of the Xiang family after the change of fiefdom. The scenery here is very beautiful, but the mood of everyone is extremely heavy.

Each of these enlightened nobles spoke passionately to Patriarch Xiang: "Duke Xiang, Qin is powerful, and Bashu is in Qin's hands. If Chu doesn't change, I'm afraid the present of Wei is the future of Chu.

I am deeply worried but unable to change, so I come to you.

Among the Chu Kingdom, only the Xiang family is the pillar of the sky. If you don't show up, the prosperity of the Chu Kingdom really does not know how long it will take. "

Patriarch Xiang sighed: "Of course, I understand everyone's thoughts, but the reform requires the right time, place and people.

Looking at all the kingdoms of Xia, who has never reformed?
So far, among the nations, who has always been strong?
Wei Guo was strong and prosperous for decades because of the sageness of the monarch, and then the law was corrupted, and South Korea's reform was strong, which was interrupted by Wei Guo. After Hanhou and Shen Buhui passed away, South Korea declined.

The same is true for the Yan Kingdom. For a genius like Le Yi, the King of Yan betrayed him just because of the villain's divisive words.

Have you forgotten the ending of the Chu State Reform in the past?As soon as the former kings collapsed, they immediately attacked and killed each other. If it weren't for the powerful Xiang family, the clan would have been wiped out today.

The prosperity of a country depends on the absence of the ruler and the lack of ministers. If the ruler is stupid, no matter how good the laws and ministers are, they will be useless.

Now the king hangs around all day long, trusting the flattering villains in the royal family and the public, the reform is doomed to fail. "

Xiang's was very pessimistic, exactly the same as Luo Li's.

These enlightened nobles did not expect such a result, and said somewhat unwillingly: "But if you don't try to reform, do you really have to watch the country of Chu decline step by step?

When the country is overthrown, do you have the face to meet the former king?
If that day really comes, I would like to turn into a mountain ghost, Hebo, looking at the mountains and rivers of Chu day and night. "

The Patriarch of the Xiang family pondered: "The reform is like a thunderbolt from the nine heavens, it must be sudden and unexpected to be effective.

The king is unchangeable. What can be changed now is the next king, who will take Xiang's daughter as the queen, and then teach the prince well. In two or thirty years, the reform may be successful. "

Everyone didn't expect that Xiang would directly think of what would happen two or thirty years later, but after much deliberation, they found that only this method was reliable.

It is really useless to want to change the law now, because the king of Chu doesn't trust them at all, he only trusts those old-fashioned nobles who can find beautiful women, gold, silver and beautiful jade for him.

Don't say that they can also give it away. This is completely incomparable. The conservative nobles can take over Chu people without a bottom line, but they naturally cannot do it. This is the biggest difference between the two sides.

When these people left angrily, the Patriarch of the Xiang family frowned slightly, and the retainers asked: "Patriarch, this is a good opportunity for you to return to Yingdu. Many of these people are from big families, even Qu Jing and other big families. Also, if these people support you, at least you are Zuo Lingyin's Zuo Tu official."

Zuo Lingyin's official name is Zuo Tu. This kind of high-ranking official can only be held by the top nobles such as the Sangong clan and the Xiang family in the Chu state. This is why everyone came to find the Xiang family.

Although there were conflicts among the three clans, they acted in unison in opposing the reform. Although the Xiang family scoffed at many reform measures of the Qin and Wei dynasties, they very much agreed with the change of the Shiqing Shilu system and the reform of the military system.

He didn't answer what the retainers said, but just looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back. He really didn't know what to do, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

The Luo family has saved Bang Zhou's destiny many times, but he is basically powerless until now, presumably this is the will of God.

The Xiang family has made the Chu state strong and prosperous many times, but now it is becoming more and more powerless. Perhaps this is also the fate of heaven.

The state of Chu believed in ghosts and gods and worshiped witch sacrifices. The Xiang family also worshiped the ancestor King Su and heaven very much, believing that everything in this world has destiny.

"If the sky is about to perish in Chu, where will the Xiang family go?
Choose outstanding talents from the Xiang family, go to the Luo Kingdom, and ask Luo Hou how he views the situation in this world, and whether the Chu Kingdom has no destiny.

Destiny is not in Zhou, not in Chu, where will King Su's faith go? "

Since you can't see through the destiny, just find someone who might know and ask.

"what?"

The retainers were a little surprised, is it possible to ask this kind of question?
Besides, even if the Luo family is in charge of Bang Zhou's destiny, how will Luo Guogong know where the new destiny will fall?

Su Wang belongs to the existence of Schrödinger. Even among the Dukes of the Luo Kingdom, there are a large number of people who are skeptical, especially because the miracles have not been manifested for too many years, but Xiang's direct descendants firmly believe it.

Because no one knows better than Xiang how difficult it is to have no faint king from generation to generation. Since Luo Guo can do it, it must be Su Wang who is protecting them in the dark.

Luo Kingdom, Zhaocheng.

Luo Hong looked at the two letters in his hands in astonishment, one was sent by the royal family of Zhou, and the other was sent by the Xiang family of Chu State. The Xiang family's children were still walking on the road.

"Father, the State of Qin defeated the State of Wei, seized the land of the State of Wei, and captured the Hangu Pass, which seems to have caused a lot of reaction. The royal family of Zhou even sent a letter directly.

Even the Xiang family, who had always wanted to compete with the Luo family, sent someone to contact, which obviously had a bad feeling. "

Luo Li sighed and said, "Qin has just seized the land of Wei, if we can unite with the five Kanto countries to attack Qin, we can still take back the land of Hedong and Hangu Pass.

It's a pity that the joint vertical alliance cannot be formed.

Every time Qin is weak, the enemy will have a weak monarch, and when Qin is strong, all countries are always in a weak state.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been favored by the destiny, and Qin State is the only prince who will completely persist in the reform, and Qin State still has a favorable location. "

The more Luo Li talked, the more he felt that the destiny might really lie with Qin!
Luo Hong was silent, he was a little uneasy, this transfer of destiny made Luo Hong feel that the power in his hands was gradually fading away, but even regardless of the illusory destiny, Qin's luck was really good.

Now the two countries of Yan and Qi are very weak, and they are both working hard to restore their national strength. It is impossible to travel thousands of miles to attack Qin, which does not border them, at this time.

The two countries of Han and Wei feared Qin like a tiger, and the state of Wei was directly shattered. The prime minister of the state of Wei dared not speak much when he was humiliated in the state of Qin. It was simply a dream to expect the state of Wei in this state to unite with the princes.

Luo Hong nodded and said: "If you want to unite the princes, Zhao Guo can only come forward.

According to the news from the dark side, the current state of Zhao is undergoing military reforms. It is said that they want to learn riding and archery from the barbarians on the grasslands, and change the previous tactics of infantry chariots. The innovation of tactics will always bring strong force , This may be an opportunity for Zhao Guo to rise.

The outcome between Qin and Zhao is yet to be known. If Zhao's Mingjun outnumbers Qin's, perhaps Qin's destiny may not necessarily lie with Qin. "

Although what he said in his words, Luo Hong's vigilance towards Qin State suddenly became higher, and he had to keep an eye on Qin State before the next power appeared.
