"This is true!"
Gongsun Yu stood up immediately, standing up so suddenly that he put too much force on the floor, causing a crack in the floor.
In contrast, there was a somewhat stunned Meng Ao.
Meng Ao glared at Zhang Ji, his pale eyebrows trembling with anger, and his wide, angry eyes seemed to be questioning Zhang Ji.
My contribution to the destruction of the country! ! !
That was a feat of annihilation that even Lord Wu An had never achieved!
This is not the Spring and Autumn Period when there were eight hundred princes in the past, but only the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the Wei Kingdom, and the barbarian countries from all sides.
It is unlikely that those barbarian countries will take action before the Qin unified the world, so the credit for the destruction of the country can only be earned from the countries in Shandong.
Although Weiguo is only half a county in size and its territory is a bit smaller, it is still said that it is the result of the destruction of the country, which is enough to bring glory to the lintel of the Meng family!
But I am about to succeed in destroying the country... Bang! Gone!
Although strictly speaking, this was the result of the destruction of the country, the Wei Kingdom was still retained after all. The destruction of this country was not clean!
Meng Ao stared at Zhang Ji with unkind eyes, but Zhang Ji waved his hand to signal Meng Ao to calm down.
"The restoration of the Wei Kingdom is naturally not an act. The king will announce it at the court meeting in a few days." Zhang Ji changed the subject and his tone was a little lower. "But the monarch of the Wei Kingdom cannot be Ji Yuan, the son-in-law of King Wei of Wei. It is the eldest son of his concubine, the young master, and the old general is not allowed to go out to serve the new king of Wei."
Gongsun Yu frowned slightly.
Unlike Meng Ao, the Qin State lacked scholars. In addition, it was in a time of great strife, so it liked to use warriors as local administrative officials.
However, Meng Ao was a general. In the first half of his life, he followed Bai Qi to fight in all directions. In the second half of his life, he led troops on his own. He also took charge of the Lantian Camp, the elite mobile force of the Qin State. He had no experience in local governance and never participated in political disputes, so he had no experience in political affairs. Some things are not so understood.
But Gongsun Yu is different. As a general of the Wei State, he is also a member of the Wei State clan. Just like Qilizi Yingji, who was the arm of King Qin Huiwen back then, he is the top leader of the Wei State in both political and military aspects.
Gongsun Yu, who has been in charge of politics for many years, smelled something unusual in Zhang Ji's words. Was it out of fear and precaution that he was not allowed to serve Wei Junyuan?
As soon as this idea came up, Gongsun Yu shook his head and rejected the possibility.
Although he can be called a famous general, he is still far behind a top general like Meng Ao. Although he is dissatisfied, he must admit that even if the two sides are on equal terms, he is not Meng Ao's opponent.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across, and a map seemed to appear in front of Gongsun Yu's eyes. As he thought about the current situation in the world, Gongsun Yu seemed to understand something.
The Qin State left the Wei State not entirely out of respect for Shang Yang and Lu Buwei. What was left to the Wei State was just a bloody city, and the reason for this was not purely for the sake of the Wei State.
This is just following the etiquette of Two Kings and Three Kes.
Throughout the dynasties, even among the vassal states, the descendants of the previous royal family or the destroyed vassal states were given titles of nobility, called the second queen and the third queen. They were given titles to princes, granted fiefs, and offered sacrifices to ancestral temples to show respect and show their true identity. The lineage inherited by the dynasty indicates its orthodox status.
After the Battle of Muye, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty granted the descendants of the Yellow Emperor to Zhu and Yao, the descendants of Ji and Shun to Chen, and the descendants of Yin and Shang to the Song Dynasty, which was used to express "the rise and fall of the country and the succession of the unparalleled world". meaning.
During the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only these eight families remained among the eight hundred princes. However, most of the descendants of the destroyed princes and royal families survived. Many nobles and scholars with surnames in the world were descendants of those princes. Many The descendants of the princes have even been assimilated by the country that destroyed their country, and have developed a sense of identity with the new country and serve the new country.
This is obviously what Qin did.
The royal family of Wei retained the blood of the Zhou royal family, and the Qin State planned to imitate King Wu of Zhou's move to enfeoff Song Weizi to show that it inherited the orthodox status of the Zhou royal family.
"Is Qin finally going to take action?"
Gongsun Yu took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.
This move of the Qin State was just like the King of Qin Huiwen and the Prime Minister of Longmen, who used the King of Han to lead the horse and the King of Wei to drive. It was telling the world that Qin did not guard the pass and Qin wanted to go eastward!
But all the countries in the world were powerless in the face of Qin's declaration of war.
Not to mention that the combined forces were defeated and the countries suffered heavy losses. The Qin State's move to destroy the guards and establish Dongjun even divided the world into two.
It not only cut off the connection between Wei and Zhao, and cut off the three Jins in the middle, but also cut off the communication between the northern and southern princes, cutting off the waist of Yan and Zhao, and cutting off the backbone of Chu and Wei.
From then on, the communication between the countries in Shandong was no longer as smooth as before, and the difficulty of forming a unified alliance was greatly increased.
Originally, other countries in Shandong could win over Qi, but after all, Qin's dominance would also be a hidden danger to Qi.
But more than a month ago, when Zhao Guo suffered heavy losses, the angry Zhao Wangyan believed that although Qi Guo remained neutral, it secretly lent Qin hundreds of thousands of grain and grass, and also allowed Qi merchants to transport grain to Qin who was attacking Wei State. In anger, he ordered Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to lead the Zhao army south to attack Qi State and seize Rao'an, an outlet of Qi State.
Although a large-scale conflict did not break out, this move completely angered the Qi State. The king and queen of the Qi State ordered to cut off all contact with the Zhao State. Any merchants found selling anything to the Zhao State, or even to Zhao people, would be inspected. Family property, the whole family became slaves without citizenship.
This move completely destroyed the chance of Shandong countries to unite, and Qi, which remained neutral, also favored Qin's side.
Zhang Ji was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Gongsun Yu had such a keen insight into politics. He immediately pointed out the deep meaning behind Qin's seemingly lenient measures.
"I almost forgot that my ancestor is a descendant of Xishou, and there is also a family tradition of Guigu Zongheng School in his family."
Zhang Ji's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Gongsun Yu with an eager look.
Gongsun Yu could barely be considered a member of the Qin State, but even if he had a son-in-law relationship with Zhang Ji, he was basically cut off from the opportunity to lead troops.
Trust is one of the reasons. Furthermore, the Qin State has no shortage of famous generals. Whether it is the older generation, the Mesozoic generation or the new generation, there are plenty of handsome men and generals. It is completely unreasonable for the Qin State not to train young people but to support a surrendered general.
What the Qin State lacked was those civil servants with unique vision, and Gongsun Yu instantly saw through the true purpose of enfeoffing and defending the country, and he definitely had the ability to serve as an important minister or a pastor.
While he was thinking about it, Zhang Ji suddenly felt someone pulling his arm. He came back to his senses and met Gongsun Li's somewhat resentful eyes.
The same gaze soon fell on Gongsun Yu, and Gongsun Yu's old face couldn't help but heat up.
Talking about these political affairs when his grandson-in-law proposed marriage was obviously off-topic and even disrespectful to his granddaughter. However, Gongsun Yu, who still had a lingering nostalgia in his heart, really could not let go of the guard he had served for most of his life so easily. country.
"Although Weijunjiao has no real power, the Yewang city is connected in all directions, the city is rich, and the business is prosperous."
Zhang Ji understood Gongsun Yu's worries, patted Gongsun Li's shoulder gently, and took out a drawing he had prepared from his sleeve. It clearly marked the mountains and rivers of Yewang Yi, and there was a strange line on it. Meandering lines.
"The water canal in Guanzhong is about to be completed. In my own name, I requested the plumbers to order Zheng Guo and Qin Mo to survey Yewang Yi, and use my private property to hire people to build a water canal in Yewang Yi."
"If it comes to pass, Yewang Yi will not only have a large amount of commercial taxes, but the saline-alkali land that originally had a very low harvest will also become a fertile land. In this way, the fiefdom of Yewang Yi is enough to repay the kindness of the Wei Kingdom to our ancestors, right? "
Gongsun Yu nodded.
He understood that Zhang Ji did these things in the hope that he could let go of this psychological burden, and also in order to marry his granddaughter smoothly.
Although Zhang Ji's previous feelings towards Zhang Ji were really bad, Zhang Ji had paid so much for Li'er. Even if he just married Li'er out of lust, he would definitely treat her very well.
"With such careful and considerate care, I can rest assured that I entrust Li'er to you."
Gongsun Yu slapped Zhang Ji hard on the shoulder. Zhang Ji's body trembled slightly, but he stood up straight in an instant and straightened his back.
At this moment, the old man in front of him was no longer the general of the Xianwei Kingdom, and Zhang Ji was no longer the guard and internal history of the Qin Kingdom, but a grandfather who entrusted his granddaughter to his grandson-in-law.
This slap is a trust and a handover.
Gongsun Li looked at Gongsun Yu and Zhang Ji and lifted a strand of hair on her temples.
Her eyes were a little sour, her eye sockets were slightly red, and her thin red lips opened into a delicate curved lip line. For a moment, the hall seemed to be a little brighter.
