When the word "entering the palace and becoming a concubine" spread far away, Ji Fa's expression changed immediately and he stopped immediately.
"Why are you joking?"
Su Hu said coldly: "My little girl is dignified in appearance, gentle in temperament, courteous and courteous, and has a good reputation. Your Majesty has nine provinces and vast borders. She should enter the palace and serve you around. She is qualified to serve. What do you have to do?
Are you dissatisfied?"
Ji Fa's face darkened.
There is no doubt that Su Hu is going to overturn the table.
The human world is divided into four classes
Emperor, princes, commoners and slaves.
The emperor is nominally the lord of the world, aloof and uncompromising, but in reality the real subjects at the top are still the princes.
It is said that the ministers and others praised Jun Xuanyou, cared for the common people, controlled the famine, and took care of the famine. They were far and near, and they were very diligent.
The implication is that to guard the borders and provide care to the people, we all rely on the princes.
However, there have always been rules among the princes, and the emperor was not involved in attacking and annexing each other.
This is a very unbelievable thing in the eyes of later generations. Is it possible that the whole world is not the king's land? Why can't the emperor control the fights between his ministers?
But in fact, the feudal system is like this. There is a state within a state. The last years of the Shang Dynasty were relatively good. Just look at the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. That is called empty.
Although the Zhou Dynasty apparently lasted for eight hundred years, in fact, it was only for more than two hundred years that the people who really held the imperial power were in charge. The next five hundred years were in name only. This is the horror of the feudal system.
Getting back to the subject, in the eyes of the princes from all over the world, today's big merchants have fallen behind, do not want to change, and are living in confusion.
However, falling behind does not mean that it can be replaced. At least in the eyes of the current generation, it is impossible. Jiang Wenhuan and Boyikao have not forgotten that the classic works of military Confucianism were written by the unfathomable King Zhou.
, even if he did not have the courage to change the ancestral system, he would not dare to have rebellious thoughts.
Therefore, when it comes to the King Master, they avoid it whenever they can. Even Ji Fa, who is extremely courageous, will take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to expel the vanguard army, labeling it as a slave rebellion.
But now Su Hu spoke up, not only directly bringing in the relationship with King Zhou, but also making his attitude clear
I would rather sacrifice Jizhou than let you succeed!
"As expected of the Marquis of Jizhou, at the critical moment, it is time to cut off!"
Sure enough, after hearing that voice, there was a commotion in all directions.
The most annoyed person was Huang Tianxiang, who had retreated outside Jizhou City.
He and Nezha avoided their sharp edges, not because they were really afraid of Xiqi's army, but because they were happy to let the three princes and Su Hu fight to the death. Anyway, Huang Tianhua's army was coming quickly. The snipe and the clam were fighting each other, and the fishermen benefited.
But when Su Hu shouted, not only the three major princes heard about it, but also the people in Jizhou City knew that their marquis's daughter was going to enter the palace to serve His Majesty. If Daji had any shortcomings at this time, it would not be a joke.
, related to the royal face!
So Su Hu was forcing them to take action, even if it didn't work, he still wanted to keep his family safe.
Of course, this is also a great excuse.
Now the five parties are fighting, knowing full well that they are all for the rich fiefdom of Jizhou, but in name they are all here to suppress the slave rebellion. Now that Su Hu's daughter may be accepted by His Majesty as his concubine, it will be even more difficult.
As the saying goes, once the armies of the three major princes resist, it is considered a rebellion!
But at this moment, a clear voice sounded and came from afar.
"Marquis Su is possessed by evil spirits and is joking nonsense. The Marquis and my father are sworn friends. He has clearly betrothed your wife to my brother, so how can he enter the palace as a concubine?"
This is Ji Fa's voice.
Create something out of nothing, just open your mouth and it will come.
When he vowed to say these words, Su Hu was startled and couldn't help laughing angrily: "What a clever boy, but it's a pity that you are not the eldest son, otherwise the next generation of Xiqi will definitely be stronger! Let's charge!"
Ji Fa shouted coldly: "Stop them!"
Su Hu wants to break out of the encirclement and gain a chance of survival. Ji Fa wants to capture them, especially Su Daji, who must not be captured by Wang Shi, so that they can naturally interfere in Jizhou affairs. The two sides fight together, and the war becomes intense.
stage.
The one who rushed forward and had the most murderous intention was none other than the defected slave, now Sergeant Xiqi.
This group of slaves is no different than the victims who were instigated by Fei Zhong to rebel against Jizhou. Many of them defected to Xiqi from various places, joined the army and became soldiers.
Naturally, these extremely determined and well-trained slaves hated the people and princes who were above them the most. They poured all their past humiliation and hatred on Su Hu. They were not afraid of death and rushed forward one after another.
Soon, all the personal guards around Su Hu were killed and injured. Under the siege, the majestic Jizhou City also began to be covered in blood. It was too miserable to watch.
But just then, an accident happened.
Since the width of streets in this era was limited, a battle of this scale could easily affect the houses on both sides. When the Xiqi soldiers accidentally rushed into them, conflicts soon broke out.
If the princes and the emperor had an implicit antagonistic relationship, then the same was true for commoners and slaves.
In a sense, slave owners are just wealthy civilians. Ordinary people also have a condescending attitude towards slaves. Once these grudges break out, it will be very scary.
After all, the number of places to besiege Su Hu at this moment was limited. When the slaves on the periphery could not make it, they naturally shifted their attention to more realistic goals.
"not good!"
Sitting in the center of the town, Ji Fa's expression completely changed when he saw the shadows of people moving in the surrounding residential buildings and the sounds of fighting and screaming coming from one after another.
Su Hu's rule over Jizhou was originally deep-rooted. It was the conflicts between slaves and nobles that affected his status.
For example, Zheng Lun was as fierce as fire and loyal to Su Hu and his son. Although he was in a low position, he was not frightened.
It wasn't until the slaves rebelled that Zheng Lun, due to his humble background, yearned for credit the more he sought and failed to get it, so Fei Zhong took advantage of him and defected directly.
But while buying slaves, he also offended civilians and slave owners, but this was not revealed before.
Because even if civilians and slave owners sided with Su Hu, the army's recruitment system made them very lax in enforcing military law, and they had a muddled mentality.
Even if they support Su Hu, it is unrealistic to expect them to spontaneously take up arms and fight to defend the Marquis of Jizhou and the city of Jizhou when Su Hu is at a disadvantage.
This is also the reason why the four major princes initially resisted and now actively recruit slaves into the army.
After all, compared to common people and slave owners, these slaves who came from poor backgrounds and had not been treated as human beings before had really low requirements.
He wakes up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, eats worse than a pig, and does more work than a donkey. Where can you find such a good soldier?
Ji Fa thought the same way once.
But at this moment, he felt uneasy in his heart.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages.
The four great princes have enjoyed enough benefits.
Now, the downsides are starting to show up.
…
…
Gu Cheng put down the battle report and smiled slightly.
The Battle of Jizhou was just the beginning.
The beginning of great chaos.
However, this great chaos was not the kind of turmoil in the world that occurred in other last-dynasty dynasties, but class antagonism and chaos among princes.
While the four major princes liberated the slaves and expanded their strength, they also came to oppose the thousands of civilians and slave owners in this world!
It also harms the interests of more than 700 other lords among the 800 lords!
Cultivate their virtues and love their people?
"I sincerely hope that you can carry it out to the end!"
