Chapter 73 The fourth quarter Tian Qiyuan is turbulent and treacherous

When the river melted away and the salty sea breeze became gentle, Linzi shook violently. King Xuan of Qi seemed to be a different person, he was full of energy, he gave frequent edicts, and his decision to kill was merciless.First, at the court meeting after the spring plowing ceremony, Meng Changjun was suddenly appointed as the general, and he was awarded the king's sword to command the 400,000 troops of the Qi State.Lord Mengchang was originally a son of the royal family who was valued by King Qi Wei in his later years. He has been famous all over the world since he joined Zong. Although King Qi Xuan has not granted Mengchang a real position since he ascended the throne, he has not been demoted. It is understandable for such a person to hold military power.

Just as the elders calmed down, King Xuan of Qi issued another edict: Appoint Su Qin as prime minister, grant Jiujin the mansion to open the mansion, and have full power to handle state affairs.This time, there was an uproar!Although Su Qin is well-known in the world, but he left Yan and entered Qi, he was originally just an exiled guest minister, how could he be the founding prime minister of Qi?What made the veterans feel even more disturbed was: Su Qin has always advocated reforms to strengthen the country as the basis for resisting Qin. As the founding prime minister, didn't he clearly want to reform the state of Qi and take action against the old nobles?

When the elders and ministers were terrified, King Xuan of Qi issued another decree: to appoint six young students from Jixia Academy as full-time doctors, and to enter the prime minister's mansion as subordinate officials.Su Qin's prime minister's office immediately issued an order: the appointment of six officials to take charge of the six official offices of salt and iron, land, government, warehouse, Baigong, punishment, and diplomatic relations, covering almost all the actual powers, and all the powers of the elders and ministers were emptied!Immediately afterwards, a series of edicts followed: the generals of the Imperial Palace Guards were changed, the Sima of the palace gate was changed, the palace secretary and censor who were in charge of secrets were changed, and the county magistrates of key counties were all changed!

The city of Linzi became turbulent, and the elders and ministers were in a state of panic, so they left the city one after another and gathered in a mysterious villa. Zishui flows outside Linzi City, and fifty miles to the north, it merges into a large swamp between two mountains, forming a fertile river valley.This mountain is called Niu Mountain, and five mountain springs gushed out of the mountain, converging into this big swamp below the mountain, and this big swamp is called Tianqiyuan.It is said that when King Wu of Zhou entrusted Tai Gong Jiang Shang to the East China Sea, he had no country title. After hearing the name of Tian Qi Yuan, Tai Gong asked King Wu of Zhou to grant the country title "Qi", which shows that this great water is ancient and famous.There is a large manor on the east bank of Tianqiyuan, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by green trees, it is as quiet and beautiful as a fairyland.

This manor is called Tianchengzhuang. The word "Tian" follows Tian Qiyuan, but the word "Cheng" is the title of the master—the master is Chenghou Zouji who has retired. Zou Ji is a legendary figure that is always unpredictable.He was originally a disciple of the famous luthier Shi Kuang. He is proficient in temperament and plays the piano well.Later, he entered the palace and became a musician for King Qi Wei, and he often lectured on music theory and methods to King Qi Wei.King Qi Wei was amazed by the hidden way of governing the country in Zouji, Le Li and Le Fa, so he made him a Dr. Le who was a senior doctor.Unexpectedly, this Zouji handled things properly, managed a group of hundreds of musicians and singers in an orderly manner, and constantly released elegant new songs and dances and new pieces of music.King Qi Wei cherished this talent who had nothing to do with the royal family and nobility, so he made Zouji a doctor, and a few years later he became a prime minister.In terms of talent, Zou Ji is neither a well-known state governer with profound knowledge, nor a famous military strategist who is proficient in battle. All parties are mediocre.But Zou Ji is naturally good at maneuvering, and the city is extremely deep, so he is often surprisingly accurate when trying to figure out what is going on.After a few years of being the prime minister, he became a minister with equal shares with the general Tian Ji.

Tian Ji was a minister of the royal family, and he always looked down on Zou Ji, the prime minister who was born as a musician.Tian Ji and Sun Bin worked together, and after defeating the state of Wei twice, they were highly respected, and he strongly recommended Sun Bin as the prime minister to replace Zou Ji.Zou Ji fell in love with Tian Ji, and came up with an unimaginable way to defeat this famous royal general! Just after Tian Ji won another battle, Zou Ji sent a confidant named Gongsun Yue to bring ten big gold cakes, found a wizard who was famous for divination with tortoise shells, and said: "I am a member of the general's family, and the general three Three victories in three battles, the reputation will shake the world, and if you want to make a big event now, please ask the master to predict good or bad luck for one, and don't tell others!" After the divination was completed, Gongsun Yue had just left, and the officials sent by Tai Shiling to pick up the fortune-teller rushed away. When he arrived, he arrested the wizard and took him into the palace together with the tortoise shell inscription.It was also King Qiwei who had always been on guard against royal ministers. He became suspicious of Tian Ji in the first trial of the wizard, and even sent a special envoy to collect Tian Ji's soldier amulet.Tian Ji was very angry when he heard the news, and immediately sent troops to surround Linzi, demanding that King Wei of Qi kill Zou Ji!Unexpectedly, King Qi Wei and Zou Ji had already made preparations, but they insisted on not fighting.Tian Ji had no food for a long time, and the morale of the army was slackened, so he had to flee to the state of Chu alone.

From then on, Zou Ji became a great hero, and was conferred the title of Marquis of Cheng by King Qi Wei, whose land was only 20 li smaller than that of the monarch. With a marquis and a fief, Zou Ji became a nobleman as a matter of course.Seeing that Zouji is graceful, modest and respectful to his ancestors, the old aristocrats of Qi State often come to Zouji to discuss some countermeasures related to the interests of nobles.After a long time, Zou Ji became the backbone of the Linzi nobles.However, Zou Ji gradually became indifferent to power and state affairs.One is that he saw that being a courtier under a powerful monarch like King Qi Wei would be in danger of overturning the boat at any time; A group of newcomers pay attention.I am an old aristocrat who has the foundation of a musician, not the foundation of several generations. If he falls in the field of power, everything will disappear.After repeated thinking, he finally wrote a letter requesting to retire at a very appropriate time, and he did not recommend to take over as the prime minister.King Qi Wei didn't agree, so he resigned again, three consecutive resignations, and finally got permission.Although King Qiwei didn't say anything, he increased Zouji's fief by thirty miles.The most important thing is that the thirty-mile fief is on the east bank of Tianqiyuan, only half an hour away from Linzi city.

But Zou Ji knew very well in his heart that this fief was named "Special Gifts for Nursing", but King Qiwei actually wanted to guard against a powerful official like him who would sit quietly away from the capital, and he had to go into seclusion within the king's sight.Because of all these tacit rules, Zou Ji's Tian She Weng in Tian Qi Yuan did a very solid job.In the final years of King Wei of Qi, Zou Ji never entered Linzi.When the new king came to the throne, he was not reckless, and he was still observing with cold eyes.Gradually, he finally saw the face of the new King of Qi clearly, and felt that he could come out of the mountain, and the old nobles in Linzi had already drawn up a memorial to "publicly recommend Cheng Hou Zouji to come out of the mountain, serve as the prime minister of the mansion, and restore the prosperity and strength of the former king." !"

At this moment, the situation in the capital of Linzi changed suddenly, and all the changes were contrary to Zou Ji's expectations! Zou Ji was dumbfounded for the first time, and suddenly realized that he was too hasty and underestimated this Tian Bijiang.After all, the royal family lives in the center of power and possesses unrivaled strength. If one step is wrong, the only one who perishes is himself.After much deliberation, Zou Ji finally dormant again.He believed that the nobles in Linzi must be more anxious than him due to such a violent shock. Zou Ji was right, the nobles came in a hurry, flocking to Tiancheng Village in twos and threes.Within ten days, Tiancheng Village unexpectedly became a place where "hunters" gathered.Zou Ji didn't see a single one, and the front of the village was full of cars and horses, like a hunting cart.

"Report to Marquis Cheng, the ten elders have come together." The old Baifa came to the waterside pavilion to report. Zou Ji was playing the zither, when he heard the sound of the zither stopped abruptly: "Ten veterans? But where is it?" "The scouts reported that the Zishui River had already passed, and the hunting sergeants had set up camp. It is estimated that they will arrive in less than half an hour." Zou Ji pushed away the precious guqin, thought for a moment and said, "Prepare the banquet, the ten-member elder still wants to meet." The house is getting old, and the sound of the piano in the waterside pavilion rang again.The ten elders are the ten old noble ministers with fiefdoms over thirty li, six of them are from the Tian royal family.In Qi State, apart from one monarch (Mengchangjun Tianwen) and one marquis (Chenghou Zouji), they are not only the ten most powerful nobles in Qi State, but also the spokespersons of all the nobles. Others can see each other, but these ten elders must not.They want to listen to Zouji's opinions, and Zouji also listens to their opinions.

At the end of the song, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the village, and Zou Ji casually walked out of the waterside pavilion. Just as he walked to the courtyard corridor, he heard heavy footsteps and loud laughter coming in from outside the gate. "Chenghou, don't you come here all right?!" The leading old man in cloak and soft armor laughed loudly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but Chenghou looks even more hale and hearty!" Someone immediately echoed loudly: "Who doesn't know that Cheng Hou was a beautiful man in Qi State back then! He is as famous as Duke Xu in the north of the city!" "Who is Xu Gong? Chenghou is much more beautiful than him!" "That's that! Cheng Hou is a dragon among men, how can a commoner compare?" "Chenghou also has white beard and white hair, and the old man also has white beard and white hair. Why is this spirit so unusual?" "Joke! It's normal, aren't you also Chenghou?" There was a lot of laughter and admiration, and there was a lot of admiration, and the courtyard was extremely lively.Zou Ji, however, clapped his hands calmly and said with a smile: "My lords, the spring grass is long, the fox and the rabbit come out of the hole, how about the prey?" Everyone laughed and said: "The grass grows, the fox and the rabbit hide, and when they see the prey, shoot them. Accurate but difficult." "There are too many prey, and they are all in my heart!" "Don't say it, this year's hunting is the worst!" "I see, there may be no hunting grounds next year!" Although Zou Ji brought Smiling socializing everywhere, but listening to everyone's words verbatim, with an absent-minded look on his face. When everyone entered the main hall, the table had already been set up, and after drinking a cup of hot tea, the food and drink were put on the table neatly.When the elders saw it, they were amazed.It turned out that there was not a single piece of gold or bronze in the wine and tableware that was filed. There were no bronze food tripods, bronze barges, gold trays, or ivory chopsticks.But the strange thing is that the tables on these pottery are not shabby at all, but reveal a piece of elegance with a unique charm.An old man looked at it for a while, then smiled in surprise: "Ah! I understand, these pottery are specially made by Cheng Hou!" Another person also exclaimed loudly: "That's right! The shape is ancient and elegant, and there are inscriptions. It's really rare!" So it was another word of praise.Zou Ji smiled modestly and said: "I am humble and only like these simple things. How can I have such precious utensils from your lords?" , it is a great honor for me to visit my humble house! Come, let's have a toast together, and clean up the dust for you adults!" After drinking a glass of wine, Zou Ji just laughed and exchanged greetings, never mentioning the state affairs.The elders couldn't hold back, and finally the old man in the cloak and soft armor spoke up: "Dare to ask Chenghou, Linzi is already full of wind and rain, how can you be so safe?" The speaker's name was Chen Jing, who was originally the general of Duke Huan of Qi at Tian Wushi, and he was also a distant branch of the royal family.The originator of the Tian royal family in Qi State is Tian Wan. Tian Wan's original surname is Chen, and he is a descendant of Chen Guogong's family.After Chen Wan failed to compete for the throne in Chen State, he fled to Qi State and changed his surname to Tian.Eight generations later, the Tian family seized the power of the Qi State, but continued to use the title of "Qi".The Tian family operated in Qi State for more than 200 years, during which time some tribal branches restored the Chen surname.But in the government and the opposition of the Qi State, they have always recognized them as "the two surnames of Tian and Chen have the same origin", and the ministers of the Chen family have always been regarded as nobles of the royal family.After more than a hundred years of the Tian family being in charge of Qi, the Chen surname has become more powerful and powerful than the Tian family's royal family!As a result, Linzi City also has the folk song "If you want to be expensive, the fields will change color".This Chen Ting is a senior and respected elder among the ministers of the royal family. He is courageous and bold, and he is the head of the ten elders. "What the old general said, but the old man doesn't understand, how come Linzi is full of wind and rain?" Zou Ji was very surprised. "Chenghou, are you really a hermit?" Chen Jing sighed with emotion, and then elaborated on the personnel changes that Zouji knew so well, and finally said: "Chenghou Mingcha: Such tossing is tolerable, which one is unbearable? !" An old voice followed: "It's a small matter to change a few people, what is the job of changing people?" "Isn't it clear yet? It's said to be a reform, but in fact it is understood that it is to change the ancestral system and act against the sky!" "At the end of the day, don't you want to take away my feudal talents? Wolf ambition!" There was an angry yell, but Zou Ji remained silent.Gradually, everyone stopped talking and just stared at Zou Ji with their old eyes.Zou Ji sighed and said, "King Qi must have his reasons for insisting on this. What can I do as a retired minister?" "Chenghou has no strength to speak!" Chen Jing slapped the table and said loudly: "I came to ask for advice, but you just shook your head and sighed. Could it be that you are afraid that Tian Wen, Su Qin and others will fail?" Someone immediately responded: " Cheng Hou only needs to come up with his own opinion, and the old man will do it with his life!" "Yes! If you don't move, you will have to teach others to strip it clean, and you will have to work hard!" "I am so afraid of my old life? I won. Leave a fief to your descendants, and lose your life!" "Yes! Fight! Don't let Su Qin go wild!" At the end, all the seats shouted in unison. Zou Ji didn't stop him, and didn't interfere, until everyone stared at him again, and then he opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Everyone is so loyal to the former king Chengfa, I can't stay out of it. It's just This is a big matter, and we must stand on the foundation of reason. The old man thinks, the adults stick to the three laws: first, use the "three changes to break the country" to admonish the king of Qi; second, attack Su Qin with "lifelong destruction"; Three, deal with Mr. Mengchang with 'the tail is too big to lose'. With these three methods, at least you will be undefeated." The elders' eyes widened when they heard this, and suddenly they couldn't understand the mystery. Chen Jing patted the table and said: "Chenghou, you just told me to wait, and said it one by one, and broke this boring gourd!" So, Zou Ji started to talk, and talked straight for almost an hour.The old aristocrats nodded their heads in excitement, and at the end they all shouted the word "cai" in unison!The drink lasted until the moon climbed up the Niu Mountain, but Zou Ji didn't keep any guests, and urged the elders to live in the hunting camp.A group of cavalry rolled out from Tiancheng Village, and rolled back to Linzi early the next morning. For the first time, Su Qin tasted the feeling of being busy. Su Qin was also busy during the merger, but it was mainly planning countermeasures and running around continuously, and he was never tired of affairs.It is different now, the establishment of the government and the launch of political reforms, there are so many things that are unimaginable!Although the big strategy has been planned in advance, it is not easy to implement it step by step?First, we must sort out the family background of Qi State: population, property, warehouses, government treasury, official market, taxation, land fiefdom, royal palace expenditure, army food and salary, official salary, etc., and more than 20 experts in account management were mobilized day and night It's been a lot of hard work, I just figured it out in a month, and I have to ask Su Qin to decide on many numbers at any time.The second is to draft new laws and issue various edicts in the name of the King of Qi. This group of people is mainly the six famous scholars from Jixia Academy, but Su Qin is the backbone and cannot leave for a moment.The third is the complicated personnel changes in the government office.The power structure has changed suddenly, and Linzi's officialdom is boiling and restless!The prime minister's mansion was full of traffic all day long, and the officials who asked for an interview crowded their heads into the big courtyard to wait, and Su Qin could hardly go out.Even though Su Qin was exceptionally talented and quick to deal with, he was too busy to spin like a top. He could barely eat two meals a day, only slept for an hour or two, and even went to the toilet in a hurry.Later, the chief secretary of the prime minister's mansion set up one outside Su Qin's latrine. In case of urgent matters or official documents when going to the latrine, the officials would report to him and recite outside the latrine. After more than two months, Su Qin suddenly lost weight.But the strange thing is that despite being thinner and thinner, his complexion is getting better and better, and the dull color has gradually become rosy.But the most surprising thing is that Su Qin's almost completely white beard and hair turned black miraculously!Everyone in the official circles of Linzi was talking about it, but they were full of surprise and exclamation. After noon that day, Su Qin hurriedly drank half a tripod of stewed fish and sheep, and then felt anxious, and hurried to the toilet in three steps at a time.Who would have thought that as soon as he squatted down, there were hurried steps coming from outside the latrine: "Report to the prime minister, the palace secretary has arrived at the mansion, please enter the palace immediately." Su Qin said: "I know, what is the reason?" Entering the palace with a blood book in hand, saying that he would die to remonstrate with the king of Qi." Su Qin didn't care about the embarrassment, got up quickly, pulled up his trousers and walked out: "Prepare the car, go to the palace!" The chief secretary smiled wryly: "Prime Minister, the whole courtyard is full of blood." Official, you can’t go out the main entrance.” Su Qin said urgently: “If you can’t go out the main entrance, go through the side door, hurry up!” A moment later, a caravan with curtains on all sides drove quietly into the palace from the side door. The servants at the palace gate immediately led Su Qin into the west side hall. Su Qin's face darkened at a glance. The west side hall is the place where King Qi discusses his affairs in summer. It is spacious and airy.Normally this hall always looks bright and cool, but at this moment it is shockingly dark!The gray-haired aristocrats and elders knelt in a row, all dressed in black funeral robes, holding up three pieces of white silk, on which were bloody red letters - "Three Changes Break the Country"! "Disfigurement for life"! "The tail is too big to lose"!King Xuan of Qi's face was livid, but Jun Mengchang next to him had a mocking smile on his face. Seeing Su Qin walking in, King Xuan of Qi nodded and motioned him to take a seat.When Su Qin sat down, King Xuan of Qi coughed and said, "You are all veterans and ministers of the Qi State. If you commit such a rebellious act, you should be punished! If you want to reform the law but fail to implement it, you can't wait any longer, so let's not pursue it for the time being." , let you wait to explain the words you want to remonstrate in front of the palace, this king has his own decision. Chen Jing, you speak first." Shaking the bloody book of "Three Transformations Breaking the Country", Chen Ting hissed: "My Wang Mingjian: Qi has already undergone two reforms, and the Tian family replaced Qi for the first time. The second time. The current state of Qi is already the state with the most complete law in the world! The law is stable, and it has been changed again and again. It is really absurd for the country to carry out the third reform. It has never been heard of since the Warring States period. If there are three changes, the Qi country will be destroyed! Three changes will destroy the country, I Wang Mingjian.” King Xuan of Qi sneered and said, "It's also a matter of saying, what about 'failure for life'?" A veteran said loudly: "Your ministers have confidential interviews, you can only tell the king, and others must avoid it!" "Is there any reason for this?" King Xuan of Qi was obviously angry: "One is the prime minister and the other is the general. What matters in the state should not be said to the general? There is no need to evade it, you just say it." This rebuke was unexpected by the elders, and the reason was so upright that the elders were panting heavily.After a moment of silence, Chen Tingkang said: "Since my king has said so, the ministers have simply said the secret matter as a clear matter. Old Madam Shi, you can say it." "The old minister has no choice but to do this." A thin white-haired old man stood up tremblingly. He was the Taishi Lingyan of King Qi Wei, and he was called Taishi. It has been a famous family in China for hundreds of years.He looked at Su Qin and said: "It is a big mistake for my king to use Su Qin's reform method. This man's face is cold and sad, his brows are narrow, and his gait is disjointed. It is a disfigurement that does not leave merit. But this is the case. This man has been running around all his life and has achieved nothing. , even if there is a small lottery, great destruction will follow, this is called lifelong disfigurement. If my king insists on reusing this person, not only will he not be able to make meritorious deeds, but he may suffer from disfigurement and defeat the country. I hope my king will think twice before acting." At that time, Tai Shiling was an important minister in all countries, and had two advantages that no one could replace: one was to edit the history of the country, and he could use history as a guide to advise the monarch;Fearing the ancestors and heaven is the foundation of the world's legal order. A Taishiling who knows the ancestors' footprints and the secrets of heaven like the palm of his hand, his advice has a weight that ordinary people can't match!With just one word, there was a subtle and chilling silence in the hall. "Wonderful!" Jun Mengchang laughed suddenly: "Taishi, I suddenly remembered that the state of Qi has not been going well these years. Bu Han's voice, a lonely and desolate look, croaking like an old crow all day long, how can it not destroy the country? Tell me, what crime should such a person deserve?" "Meng Changjun, you, you, how can you be so reasonable..." Yan Yu, an old celebrity, was ashamed and annoyed in the face of this acrimonious banter, and was so embarrassed that he trembled all over and couldn't speak. "Meng Changjun humiliated the gentleman, what is the order? He should be punished!" Chen Ting shouted loudly, and the ten elders echoed, "What is the order? What should be the crime" all shouted. Meng Changjun laughed loudly: "Sophisticated? You still know how to be gentle? The whole thing is shit, it stinks, and it ruins the country!" "I, Wang Mingcha: How decent is such a minister..." The ten elders kowtowed and shouted in unison. King Xuan of Qi was extremely impatient, and he slapped the desk with a "pop!": "The words of a magician are in vain for a minister! If there is no more to say, this king will retire from the court." I was stunned for a moment, and regretted getting entangled with Mr. Mengchang. "I am Wang Rongzhen." An old voice slowly echoed. This time it was another divine figure who spoke, and he was Taimiao Ling Chen Shen.The Taimiao is a sacred temple for the royal family to worship their ancestors, which is also known as the country by ordinary people. The Taimiao Order is the minister in charge of offering sacrifices to the Taimiao.Usually, if there is a major event, the monarch will go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors. One is to ask the ancestors for protection, and the other is to divination good or bad luck in front of the ancestors.Because of these two special uses, the Taimiao Ling became the embodiment of a wizard and divination master, and its weight was comparable to that of the Taishi Ling.This Chen Shen, like Chen Ting, is a distant branch of the royal family, but he has one thing that others can't match, that is, he is the only serving minister among the ten elders, that is, he has not retired yet. Chen Shen seemed to be in a daze, and no one looked at him, but his voice was very steady and solid: "My king took Tian Wen as the general. This is a mistake. Tian Wen is the son of King Jing Guo, born luxurious and luxurious. Jun, but he never cares about the way of the country. This man has a large number of followers, almost as many as three thousand, and there are tens of thousands of private soldiers in the fief. What is even more shocking is: Tian Wen burned all the bonds of the peasants in the fief, and bought The hearts of the people, dare to openly call it 'the three caves of the cunning rabbit'! Once these people hold the army, the ministers are afraid that they will become a big threat, and the tail will never be lost. At that time, why should my king be in a hurry?" As the elders played it right, King Xuan of Qi's complexion became more and more ugly.As soon as Chen Shen finished speaking, he slapped the case and said angrily: "Elder elders, you are so pretentious, spreading deceptive words in the hall, is it considered a national policy? The king doesn't listen to it! You go down to the palace!" "My king is wrong!" Chen Jing protested loudly: "It turns out that my king, Xu Chen, and others have said everything, and even forced them to disclose the secret matter. Now that I have made it clear, my king will criticize it properly. How can we let it go? !" The rest of the elders also shook their blood books and echoed in unison: "What the old general said is very true, my king can't let it go!" The old heads knocked on the ground in unison, and no one got up. King Xuan of Qi was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that the matter was far more serious than he had imagined!These veterans obviously came prepared, and they had the intention of threatening him to submit with deadly remonstrance.Suddenly, King Xuan of Qi didn't know how to deal with it.Lord Mengchang's face was ashen, because he had just impeached him for his evil words, so he had to wait for King Xuan of Qi's order to act.King Xuan of Qi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to reverse this stalemate. "My king, please allow Su Qin to argue with the elders about state affairs." Su Qin stood up calmly. "Okay!" King Xuan of Qi immediately responded, "Even though the prime minister refuted their objections, I will listen with all my ears." "May I ask old general Chen Jing, where did the so-called Three Changes and Breaking the Country come from? Or who invented it?" Su Qin said. "What does this have to do with you? You just need to get the right way!" Chen Ting blushed. Su Qin laughed loudly: "It's a pity, it's completely nonsense!" In an instant, the famous morale that galloped through the courts of the six kingdoms was miraculously revived on Su Qin!He paced leisurely in front of the elders, but his eyes were always fixed on Chen Ting's face: "Follow the trend and prosper in accordance with the times. This is the road to the rise and fall of nations for three thousand years. The five emperors have different ways, and the three kings have different methods. Shun changed to Yao, Yu changed to Shun, Shang Tang changed to Xia Jie, Zhou Wu changed to Yin Zhou, Ping Wang changed to Western Zhou, the three families were divided into Jin and changed to Spring and Autumn, Li Kui's new law changed the Warring States, Shang Yang's new law changed the strength. Three thousand years ago, a word "change" It covers the world! Those who are changeable are strong, and those who remain unchanged are dead. How can there be any other! Since the Warring States period, two generations of Wei State have undergone great changes and become the overlord, and King Wei Hui has plummeted without the third change; Chu State won the Central Plains with two changes. The prestige king failed three changes and made fish meat; the Qin State had two minor changes, and could not get out of Hangu Pass; Xiao Gong and Shang Yang made the third major change, and became the strongest in the world! The so-called three changes to break the country, has ever been in a country Fulfillment?!" Seeing that the elders were panting, but their eyes were obviously dissatisfied, Su Qin changed his tone and said, "Let's talk about Qi State again, the change of Taigong Tianhe is in the state system, and the change of the former king Qi Weiwang is in the administration of officials. It has not touched the root. What is the root? It lies in the four cruxes of the land system, fiefdom, sub-agriculture, and political system. The third change of my king is to truly and thoroughly reform like Qin! This third change is precisely the foundation of the strength of Qi. It is the starting point for Qi to unify the world, otherwise, Qin will be bullied and unable to win! You guys are talking about whether it is a powerful country with three changes or a broken country with three changes?" The elders were dumbfounded, and no one spoke.Meng Changjun sneered and said, "I think it's appropriate to change the 'Three Changes to Break the Country' to 'Three Changes to Break the Guild'. I'm not afraid of losing the fiefdom, so you're so noisy!" Finally, he cursed through gritted teeth. "Meng Changjun is rude!" Taishi Lingyan suddenly shouted: "Even if the law is reformed, foreign ministers cannot be used!" "Ridiculous!" Meng Changjun laughed and said, "Dare to ask Taishi Ling, where did ancestor Yan Pingzhong live?" "How could Mr. Mengchang not know about Yiwu, the ancestor of Laidi?" "I know you don't know. At that time, Yiwu was the Qi State? If it wasn't for the Qi State, wouldn't the ancestor Yan Pingzhong also be a foreign minister? My Tian family was originally from the Chen State, so wasn't he also a foreign minister? And you, Chen Jing, were you also a foreign minister? Tell me, who is not a foreign minister here? You are all foreign ministers, but you are so rampant here!" Meng Changjun cursed again. "Tian Wen is rude...!" Yan Yu hissed, but couldn't continue speaking. Chen Ting suddenly hissed and cried: "Tian Wen's words and deeds are rude and ambitious, my king must not use them again!" With a loud shout, the hall became surprisingly quiet!What surprised the elders was that Chen Ting messed up his rules and didn't know how to follow up for a while?According to Zouji's plan, he can only attack Su Qin with all his strength, and he can only stop at the point of attacking Lord Mengchang.After all, Mr. Mengchang is a close branch of the royal family, and this man has a heavy army in his hands, and his nature is rough and fierce. If he is provoked for a while, it will be a disaster.But today, Mr. Mengchang stabbed out obliquely, laughing and cursing and making the elders lose face, but it was unexpected by Zouji anyway.Chen Ting was furious for a while, and he publicly launched a formal attack on Meng Changjun in public. How could the elders not secretly panic?King Qi Xuan's astonishment was that he suddenly realized that the old nobles were attacking Lord Mengchang, but they were actually trying to isolate him. When he was in a cold sweat, he was not sure whether to deal with these elders at this time?After all, they are also well-rooted in Qi.However, as soon as Mr. Mengchang involved himself, he had to look at the king's intentions. He couldn't order these birds to be taken by himself, so he could only remain silent for a while. "Old General Chen, you are really polite and sweeping the floor." It was Su Qin who spoke, with a smile full of contempt: "Minister demeanor, impeachment should be conclusive, how can you tease the emperor and ministers in the court with private anger? Rude words and deeds are wolf ambitions? You Chen Ding also served as a general, but he was dressed in funeral clothes, shouting in front of the palace, with snot and tears, how could he be so rude? It's simply a flagrant disobedience! Isn't it even more ambitious?" Su Qin changed his tone: "Mr. The former king has entrusted him with great trust and worked as a special envoy to fight against the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years. He has such power and has no power. Return the soldier talisman to my king for preservation. If the king does not give orders, the general will not move a single soldier. What is even more touching is that Lord Mengchang decided to hand over the fief at the time of reform, and hand over all the disciples to the army to form a team of warriors. The brigade is stationed in the fortress. With such a mind, how can you be stubborn against the sun and the moon? Why can't you be so big? Why are you so ambitious?!" Su Qin's words really shocked the elders!If, as Su Qin said, Lord Mengchang handed over his fief and his disciples, who else can stop this reform?Suddenly, the elders burst into wailing. King Xuan of Qi waved his hand in disgust: "Go down, if you make such bewitching words again, you will be severely punished!" The elders left the palace in desperation, but the three blood books were kept by the servants appointed by Su Qin.
