After meeting Sun Zan, the young prince An Guogong was finally released from prison a few days later. After his release, the title of An Guogong was removed, and he was charged with the crime of secretly liaising with the Chu State.
No more.
Naturally, many people saw this result, and they understood that since he did not follow Duke Wei back then, he was not qualified to reward him based on his merits. Otherwise, he would have been benefited in vain.
Of course, as compensation, the young prince entered the Ministry of Rites and was determined to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs after the Ministry of Rites was split into two. This was considered a high-power position.
Of course, it was rumored that Mr. Sun had some friendship with Mr. Lin back then, and some people thought that it was because of this friendship that Mr. Sun was able to escape from prison and become a minister. So before the New Year,
There are more people coming to Lin Mansion, especially those who we had friendship with back then.
It's just that most of the people who come to the door are disappointed, because Lin Haoming will never appoint them just because they have a relationship with them. It depends more on their talent. If they are really talented, they will naturally fall into Lin Haoming's eyes, and there are indeed a few of them.
An old friend got a promise.
On the first day of spring, everything was proceeding step by step. The King of Yue abdicated and the court was reformed on the same day. It was really lively for a while. Although this matter was nothing to the Great Xia Kingdom, it was nothing to the Yue State.
As far as the country is concerned, it is truly turned upside down.
Lin Haoming was indeed not unexpected. He was appointed Zuo Taiwei and commanded four of the nine departments, which was considered a high and powerful position.
After Wei Qian succeeded to the throne, he pursued his father and grandfather as kings, and neither Wei Tong nor Wei Shun interfered in the affairs of the state. Wei Tong was nearly eighty years old, which is understandable, but Wei Shun was only in his fifties.
Delegation of power is indeed extraordinary.
After Wei Qian spent the first few days, he gradually adapted to it. Besides going to court, he had the same habit as Zhang Xiao, which was that he liked to summon his trusted ministers in the study.
There are not many people who are qualified to be in Wei Qian's imperial study, but there are more than Zhang Xiao's time. In addition to Lin Haoming, there are also General Zhu Feiling, General Jiang Heng, Right Lieutenant Wei Yi, and the two prime ministers on the left and right.
, Prime Minister Zuo is Lin Haoming's father-in-law, Wei Ning, who is nearly sixty years old, and Prime Minister Right is Zhang Xin, the representative of the princes, and the reason why he can be ranked as Prime Minister is because he sees the situation clearly and acts decisively.
I gave up my perseverance before, and that’s why I now have a transcendent status.
When these people gather around Wei Qian, it can actually be seen that the Wei family's Yue Kingdom is still focused on war, and the core officials are also mainly related to the Wei family. They are either directly from the Wei family or from the Wei family.
Son-in-law or children’s in-laws.
It is now the beginning of February, and there have been several small court meetings in the imperial study room, and this time is particularly important, because at the previous court meeting, the Chu envoy came over and cursed in front of Wei Qian. It was obviously the beginning of spring.
War is difficult to avoid, and the Wei State is also ready to take action. The most important thing is that Daxia's assistance has also disappeared after the New Year.
Zhang Xiao had previously promoted the New Deal in the Yue State, taking advantage of the fact that the Xia State had not had much energy to control the vassal states when they were seizing the throne, and annexed the domestic vassal forces, thereby strengthening the country's strength.
The Yue State did this, and so did the surrounding Wei and Chu States. However, the national conditions of each country were different, and the results were naturally different.
The Yue Kingdom was originally very promising, but Lin Haoming asked himself that his appearance was a variable. The final result of this variable pushed the Yue Kingdom to not only complete the Wei family's replacement of Yue, but also basically complete the complete annexation of the princes' territories in the process.
It seems that the Yue Kingdom has just experienced more than ten years of turmoil, but in fact, the country is united. In comparison, the Chu Kingdom is much worse. The Chu Kingdom was originally a southern barbarian tribe, because it is located in the north and close to
The civilized highland with Daxia as its core gradually began to break away from the barbarian tribes. Later, it was canonized by Daxia and completely became one of the vassal states. It has always been despised by other princes, but because of this, Chu State became its own line and its national strength
It was relatively strong, but because of this, as time went by, the national conditions of Chu State were different from those of other vassal states.
Among the six major princes outside Daxia, the State of Zhao had the strongest national strength. Because when it replaced the State of Jin, King Zhao wiped out the domestic princes and fought against the three northern tribes in consecutive years. Therefore, it was the most prosperous, even decades ago.
Wei State defeated Yuyue State, and after King Wei hanged himself, he became the strongest among the six kingdoms.
The remaining four kingdoms of Wei, Yue, Qing, and Dai have almost the same national conditions. They were all responsible for the founding of Daxia in the early years. There are also many princes in the country. They are almost in the same situation and intend to solve the situation where the princes are powerful. However,
The results are different.
The Yue State can be said to be a replica of the Zhao State. Although Daxia's will is still the Yue State, the difference from the Zhao State is only a small issue such as the country's name.
Qingguo and Daiguo chose similar paths. The king married the largest prince in the country, designated his son as the next generation king, and annexed other princes. Although those small princes were gone, the current result was that the largest prince, who was a relative, became the country.
Hidden danger, how can the two be combined, the natural national power will be strong, but who can be sure at the moment that this will be the case in the future.
After more than ten years of domestic turmoil in the Wei State, the current King of Wei is five or six years younger than Wei Qian and less than thirty. However, he adheres to the legacy of the previous King of Wei and completely solves the problems of the domestic princes. In fact, this
When the King of Wei was sixteen or seventeen years old, he began to follow the army to sweep away the princes in the country. In his early twenties, he became the marshal leading the army. In the first year of his succession, the princes of Wei took advantage of King Wei's new death to make a last-ditch effort, but he was completely defeated.
It has been less than three years since he succeeded to the throne, but he is still recognized as a promising king by the Wei State. Now that three years have passed, the Wei State has also calmed down, and it is natural to attack the Yue State.
Different from these countries, Chu State also has princes, but the princes have nothing to do with Daxia, because the princes in Chu originally evolved from tribal leaders. Although there is no concept of tribe anymore, the internal cohesion of the princes is much stronger. Chu State
It also followed the same changes as other countries, but with little effect. In the end, the previous king of Chu had to give up the idea of annexing the princes. However, in order to curb the princes, he came up with a system of resolutions of the nine princes. Simply put, the nine princes in the country
The ministers represented by the leaders of the large tribes decide the situation of the country together, but these nine ministers are not static, but are selected and replaced regularly. In this way, the monarch seems to be able to rely on this to control the domestic princes, but on the other hand, it is also equivalent to the internal
Constantly consuming.
Of course, for the Chu State at the moment, with the failure of Yang Lingdao, the line of ministers he represents will also withdraw from the highest power, but who can take over has become the biggest conflict within the Chu State, and by regaining face, Chu can gain power.
