The fact that Ma Fujun left the State of Zhao and went to the State of Qin caused a huge sensation in all the countries.
Needless to say, the State of Zhao was plagued by grief and depression. Even though King Zhao promulgated a series of tax reduction and light service systems, it could not help the people get out of this depressed atmosphere. At this time, the new Prime Minister Pang
The government played a huge role. He borrowed the content of "Ma Fu Shu" and began to reform the law, starting from the salary of officials, the election of officials, the establishment of schools, and the implementation of the household registration system that imitated the Qin State.
It turned out that Li Mu fully assisted him. The two of them consulted Ma Fushu and formulated a reform strategy. They started from household registration, investigated the situation of the people of Zhao State, used detailed household registration information to organize officials, and then set up schools to cultivate talents. From school rooms
Select talented people to serve as officials, exempt school disciples from taxes, thoroughly implement Dong Chengzi's new laws, and increase Zhao's national strength through political changes.
Lian Po served as the secretariat. This was probably the wisest thing King Zhao did. Lian Po was different from Dong Chengzi. He was upright and had a bad temper. If he found someone who violated the law, he would directly lead his soldiers to arrest him.
He killed the resisters, and even once led his soldiers to attack the resisters' courtyard and executed all his followers. As a result, everyone in Zhao State was frightened, and no one dared to offend Lian Po anymore.
However, Lian Po also offended many people. Guo Kai, the companion of Prince Yan, was arrested by Lian Po because he violated the curfew and went out at night. He also had a bad attitude and insulted the soldiers who imprisoned him. Lian Po made people angry.
Thirty floggings. Young Master Yan came to the King of Zhao to complain. The King of Zhao tried to persuade him again and again, but Lian Po did not forgive him.
When Jiang Qu returned to the State of Yan and told the King of Yan that Ma Fujun was forced to leave the State of Zhao, King Yan was actually very happy. He said to Jiang Qu: "The reason why I want to negotiate peace with the State of Zhao is just because I am afraid of Lord Ma Fu."
?Now that Mr. Ma Fu is not in the Zhao Kingdom, how can I not think about revenge against the Zhao Kingdom?"
Hearing this, he persuaded him and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that it is unlucky for a gentleman to send people to attack him after he has made an alliance with someone else. As a king, you cannot be unfaithful. Otherwise, the virtuous people in the world will be the best."
I won’t come to serve you. What’s more, Yan State’s national strength is not strong, there is not enough food, there are no weapons to equip soldiers, and there are no allies who can help us. How can you think about revenge against Zhao State?”
King Yan was a little hesitant after hearing this, so he called Ju Xing to ask him about attacking Zhao.
Ju Xing said to the King of Yan seriously: "If you want to attack the State of Zhao, I will personally lead the army? Go to attack the State of Yan, and do my best to defeat the State of Zhao for you? Will I die on the battlefield for you? But it is not a good time to send troops now.
Timing. Zhao State is powerful. There are 300,000 elite troops, with people like Lian Po and Li Mu commanding them. I am afraid that Yan State is no match for Zhao State."
After hearing what his two most trusted ministers said, King Yan didn't say anything more.
Jiang Qu added: "I heard that Du, who originally built the fire kang, was killed by Lord Chang'an for no reason. Lord Ma Fu, who promoted the fire kang to Yan State, was also murdered by King Zhao and left Zhao State. Can you tell me about this?
common people.”
King Yan agreed to him.
After giving him the opportunity to live in peace with Zhao, the King of Yan also handed over state affairs to him. He focused on stabilizing the newly acquired land. He made plans to migrate the people, promote the Yan language, and encourage
Policies such as intermarriage, promotion of farming techniques, and prohibiting officials from discriminating against Hu people in Liaodong. During the Lifu period, the Yan State continued to expand and acquired all lands in Liaodong. However, the problem was that most of the people living here were Hu people, and they had no influence on the Yan State.
They have no sense of identity, do not understand the language of Yan, and do not know how to farm.
Jiang Qu wanted to transform them into Yan people and let them truly become part of the Yan Kingdom.
Similarly, after the people of Qi heard about this incident, they were also very angry. Jixia Academy suddenly became violent, and major scholars began to write "The Book of Juma Fu Jun Li Zhao", "The Theory of the Faint King", and "The King and His Ministers"
After waiting for the academic article, they scolded King Zhao who was thousands of miles away. Although there were academic disputes between these people and Zhao Kuo, they still fully supported Ma Fujun on this issue.
Probably, because everyone is the same type of person.
Especially the Confucian scholars gave great praise to Ma Fujun's filial behavior. What a filial act it was for his mother to leave the king who served him. In the books written by the Confucian scholars, the story seemed to be that Ma Fujun did it for his mother.
To save his mother, he left the virtuous king who valued him and his homeland. After the scholars of Qi State discussed this matter, the King of Qi also learned about it.
The queen's health was already very bad, because she had to deal with state affairs every day. King Qi was always very hesitant when dealing with important matters, so he called his mother to help him deal with it. Sometimes, he simply
Just leave things to your mother and go out to play by yourself. The queen is not young, and under such high-intensity work every day, her body is getting worse day by day.
"I can't always accompany you and help you. You have to learn to deal with these things by yourself," the Queen said to King Qi a little tiredly.
King Qi sat next to her. He lowered his head aggrievedly and said, "I know mother, but I really don't know what to do about these things. I will never bother you again."
The queen sighed helplessly and just now said: "Ma Fujun is a great sage in the world. Naturally, you have to reprimand King Zhao for his behavior in front of all the ministers and welcome Ma Fujun to come to Qi. In this way, everyone in the world will
I can see the difference between you and King Zhao."
"Okay, that's what I'll do. Mother, is there anything else to do?"
The Queen looked melancholy into the distance without speaking. She said with some worry: "What will you do if one day I am no longer here?"
"That man is no longer alive."
"nonsense!"
The Queen's eyes gradually became sharper, and she said seriously to King Qi: "I heard that a person with three cities can serve as a monarch, and a person with 100,000 people can pay tribute to the emperor. Today, the territory of Qi is vast, and there are
There are hundreds of cities. There are many people, and millions of people are serving you. Qi State has five thousand chariots, each of which is an elite! At this time, you can go and plot the world!"
"Maintain friendly relations with Chu, curb Qin's war, ally with Zhao to annex Yan, ally with Chu to annex Wei, and then annex the three Jins! The world is divided into three parts, and Qi will occupy its richest land.
area."
"Today is a different world than usual. Anyone who is not willing to fight will die in the hands of others. In these years, Qi State has been recharging its energy and not participating in the wars of the princes. This is in order to retain enough strength.
I probably can’t see the day when Qi’s army will attack the princes. Jian, you want to inherit your father’s ambition. Qin and Zhao both want to realize one king and the world, why can’t Qi?”
King Qi said to the queen seriously: "I know."
The King of Wei executed Zi Nangongqi and appointed his son-in-law as the new King of Wei. The Kingdom of Wei completely became a vassal of the Kingdom of Wei. The King of Wei sent officials to help them govern the country and soldiers to protect their safety.
, completely neglecting the new King Wei. The behavior of King Wei was condemned by all countries, especially King Zhao. King Zhao had just listened to Wei's persuasion and gave up attacking Wei. In the blink of an eye, Wei had
He directly swallowed up Weiguo.
This made King Zhao very angry, but now that Zhao was still busy dealing with domestic affairs, King Zhao could only swallow his bad breath temporarily.
However, King Wei's move did not bring about the results he expected. The people of Wei were very angry and particularly hostile to the Wei State who murdered their king. So, the rangers of the Wei people assassinated the Wei people.
After the officials left, the common people refused to listen to their arrangements. The soldiers of the Wei State quickly threw themselves into the battle to suppress the guards. The guards continued to defect and burned the food and grass of the Wei soldiers. The soldiers of the Wei State did not dare to
Travel alone.
In the Kingdom of Wei, there were actually many people who opposed King Wei, and Lord Pingyuan was one of them. Lord Pingyuan felt that Wei should find a way to resist Qin instead of annexing the surrounding small countries. These small countries could not give Wei a
It would bring too much benefit, and it might even lead to anger and trouble. But King Wei did not listen. His relationship with Lord Pingyuan had already become very bad during the last battle against Qin.
After King Wei ignored Pingyuanjun's advice and asked Mao Sui to withdraw his troops and no longer obeyed Wei Wuji's orders, Pingyuanjun was furious and walked directly into the palace and asked to resign. King Wei faced his brother-in-law, but did not
He was allowed to resign, but he would not see him again. King Wei was also very angry. Since Zhao Sheng arrived in Wei, he had fully supported Zhao Sheng, even at the cost of all his wealth.
But what did Zhao Sheng bring to Wei?
When Wei faced Qin, it was still defeated.
He had given everything, but could not get anything. King Wei thought so, so his attitude towards Lord Pingyuan gradually became indifferent. Lord Pingyuan was so angry that he hid in the mansion and stopped dealing with state affairs.
When he learned that King Wei wanted to annex Wei State, Zhao Sheng went to King Wei and told him: This matter has no benefit to Wei State, only harm. Please don't act like this.
The King of Wei was also hesitant. At this moment, Duan Qianzi, who served as the censor, told the King of Wei: This sentence is very similar to Lord Xinling's persuasion to the King of Zhao.
The King of Wei was furious, thinking that Zhao Sheng was saying this because he was concerned about the country of Zhao. He no longer listened to him and insisted on swallowing up the Wei.
When Long Yangjun arrived at Zhao Sheng's mansion, Zhao Sheng lay on the bed and got up with difficulty. Zhao Sheng was no longer young, and his health was gradually failing. The news of Pingyang Jun's death and Ma Fujun's departure from Zhao made everyone
Zhao Sheng became worried. He had a bad relationship with Lord Chang'an, but he had a good relationship with Lord Pingyang. He was his brother who had taken care of him since he was a child. His brother died like this, which made Lord Pingyuan extremely painful.
The news that Ma Fujun went to Qin made Zhao Sheng a little desperate.
He knew the ability of Ma Fujun, and he also knew the ability of King Qin. King Qin got Ma Fujun, which was the most terrifying thing for the six countries. However, none of the six countries seemed to realize this, but Zhao Sheng already understood that Ma Fujun
In the Qin State, it can definitely play a role comparable to that of Shang Yang. One Shang Yang allowed the Qin State to suppress the six countries for more than a hundred years. If another one comes, what will the six countries do?
Long Yangjun often came to visit Zhao Sheng. He saw that Zhao Sheng was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he felt very uncomfortable. He knew Zhao Sheng's ability. After Zhao Sheng arrived in Wei, he rectified the officialdom, encouraged farmers and mulberry, and Wei
The country's national power is indeed rising, but unfortunately, the King of Wei is an impatient person. Long Yangjun is probably the person who knows the King of Wei the most in Wei. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of the King of Wei. The advantage of the King of Wei is that he can spend all his money.
Do something with your mind.
And his shortcoming is that he is too eager, he needs to see results immediately, otherwise, he will not be able to persist.
Zhao Sheng looked into the distance weakly, "There is no other way, there is no other way, I want to go home."
The Chu State was much more pitiful. The Chu State had previously moved its capital to Shouchun, and had vigorously constructed Shouchun, preparing to set up a defense line around it to resist the Qin State. When Chun Shenjun had made all preparations, he suddenly heard that Ma Fujun had surrendered.
At this moment, Lord Chun Shen looked horrified at the news about Qin. He immediately suggested again that Shouchun was still too close to Qin and there was no favorable terrain for defense. Please move the capital as soon as possible.
The King of Chu did not hesitate and immediately moved the capital to Juyang (today's Taihe, Anhui), a place far enough away from Qin. From the King of Chu to Lord Chun Shen, they were scolding the King of Zhao every day and criticizing the King of Zhao.
His hatred is almost catching up with his anger towards King Qin.
At the same time, Lord Chun Shen realized the huge danger and hurriedly started reforms in Chu State: banning aristocratic officials in various places, building schools, and establishing detailed local systems like those in Qin State.
The king personally sent officials to serve. Unfortunately, as soon as his reform was ready to be implemented, he encountered great opposition from the nobles. There were still many nobles in Chu State, and they still had their own army.
Fortunately, the previous war with the Qin State and the suppression of the rebellion reduced the power of the nobles in the Chu State to a minimum. The King of Chu immediately ordered Jingyang to help Lord Chun Shen complete the reform. As a result, those nobles who did not agree with the reform all
He was killed by Jingyang. Chun Shenjun was able to complete his policy. However, Chun Shen Jun's behavior made the nobles hate him very much. Because the King of Chu was still there, they were also angry at Chun Shen Jun.
I can only keep it in my heart for the time being.
However, various rumors against Chun Shenjun were spread throughout the Chu Kingdom, saying that the Chu King's son was the illegitimate son of Chun Shen Jun, and that Chun Shen Jun wanted to use his son to usurp the throne.
Lord Chun Shen ignored these rumors, and King Chu also paid no attention to them.
But, some people care about it
As for South Korea, the King of Han sent an envoy to Qin to invite Ma Fujun to come to South Korea to serve as the Prime Minister.
It is a pity that today's South Korea is a subsidiary of the Qin State. Without the order of the King of Qin, the King of Han cannot send envoys to the Qin State.
Therefore, the envoy was driven away by a pavilion chief of Qin State.
