Chapter 5826: Situation in the Six Kingdoms
After meeting Sun Zan, the young Duke of Anguo was finally released from prison a few days later. After being released from prison, Duke Anguo's title was removed, and the charge of secretly communicating with Chu was gone.
Naturally, many people see this result and understand that this person who did not follow Mr. Wei back then is naturally not qualified to reward him now, otherwise wouldn’t he be in vain?
Of course, as compensation, this young master of the past entered the Ministry of Rites and had been confirmed that after the Ministry of Rites was divided into two, he would become the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was considered a high position and power.
Of course, the news that Mr. Sun had some friendship with Lord Lin was also reported. Some people also regarded this Mr. Sun as Mr. Sun who could be relieved of prison and become a minister because of this friendship, so more people came to Lin's house before the New Year, especially some people who had friendship back then.
But most of the people who came to visit were disappointed because Lin Haoming would never be able to appoint them just because they had old friends. More of it was based on talent. Really talented people would naturally fall into Lin Haoming's eyes, and there were indeed a few old friends who had promised it.
When the first day of spring was about to start, everything was proceeding step by step. King Yue abdicated and the court reforms were all on the same day. It was really lively for a while. Although this matter was nothing to the Daxia Kingdom, it was really upside down for Yue Kingdom.
Lin Haoming was indeed not unexpected. He became the Zuo Taiwei and commanded four of the nine divisions, which was considered to be a high-ranking and powerful person.
After Wei Qian ascended the throne, he pursued his father and grandfather as kings. Whether it was Wei Tong or Wei Shun, he did not interfere in the government affairs. Wei Tong was nearly 80 years old, which is understandable, but Wei Shun was able to delegate power in his fifties, which is indeed extraordinary.
After spending the first few days, Wei Qian gradually adapted. In addition to attending court, he had the same habit as Zhang Xiao at the time, 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 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 Grand Marshal Wei Yi, and there are two prime ministers on the left and right. The left prime minister is Lin Haoming's father-in-law, Wei Ning, who is nearly 60 years old, and the right prime minister is the representative of Zhang Xin, the prince. The reason why he can be ranked as the prime minister is because he saw the situation clearly and decisively gave up his previous persistence, so he has now become a transcendent position.
These people gathered on Wei Qian's side, and it can actually be seen that the Wei family's Yue Kingdom is still mainly engaged in war, and the core officials are mainly related to the Wei family. This is either directly the Wei family, the Wei family's son-in-law or the children's in-laws.
It is already early February, and there have been several small dynasty meetings in the imperial study room. This time it is particularly important, because at the previous dynasty meeting, the envoy of Chu came over and cursed in front of Wei Qian. It is obvious that the war in the beginning of spring is difficult to avoid, and at this time, the Wei State is also ready to move. The most important thing is that the aid from Daxia will be gone after the New Year.
Zhang Xiao had previously promoted the new policy in Yue State, and took advantage of the fact that the Daxia State had no energy to control the vassal states when it was fighting for the throne, and then annexed the domestic vassal forces to enhance national strength.
If Yue State does this, the surrounding Wei State and Chu State are the same, but the national conditions of each country are different, the results are naturally different.
The Yue Kingdom was originally very promising, but Lin Haoming asked himself that it was a variable. The final result of this variable promoted the Yue Kingdom not only completed the Wei family's dynasty Yue, but also basically completed the complete annexation of the vassal territories in this process. It can be said that the Yue Kingdom seemed to have just experienced more than ten years of turmoil, but in fact, the whole country is in one's mind. In comparison, the Chu Kingdom is much worse. The Chu Kingdom was originally a branch of the Southern Barbarian tribe. Because it was close to the north and approached the civilization highland with Daxia as the core, it gradually began to leave the barbarian tribe. Later, it was enthroned by Daxia and completely became one of the vassal states. It was only because of this that the Chu Kingdom formed a series of its own and its national strength was relatively strong. However, because of this, over time, the national conditions of the Chu Kingdom were different from other vassal states.
Among the six major princes outside the Great Xia, Zhao State had the strongest national strength. Because when replacing Jin State, King Zhao wiped out the domestic princes and fought with the three northern tribes for years, it was the most prosperous. Even after the Wei State defeated Yu Yue State decades ago, King Wei hanged himself and became the strongest in the six countries.
The remaining four countries, Wei, Yue, Qing and Dai, were actually similar in national conditions. They were all heroes of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom in their early years, and there were also many princes in the country. Under almost the same circumstances, they planned to solve the situation of the powerful power of the princes, but the results were different.
The Yue Kingdom can be said to have achieved a copy of Zhao Kingdom. Although the intention of Daxia is still Yue Kingdom, the difference from Zhao Kingdom is only a small issue like the national name.
Qing and Dai countries chose similar paths. The king married the largest princes in the country, and appointed his son as the next generation of kings and annexed other princes. Although those small princes were gone, the result is that the biggest princes, as relatives of the outside world, has become a hidden danger to the country. How can the two be combined? Naturally, the national strength is strong, but who can be sure that this will be the case in the future?
After more than ten years of domestic turmoil, the current King of Wei is five or six years younger than Wei Qian, and is less than thirty years younger than Wei Qian. However, he adhered to the will of the previous King of Wei to completely solve the problems of the domestic princes. In fact, when the King of Wei was sixteen or seventeen years old, he began to follow the army to sweep away the domestic princes. In his early twenties, he was the marshal who led the troops. In the first year of his succession, the princes of Wei took advantage of the Xinsans of Wei to make a last fight, but he was completely pacified by him. Now he has succeeded to the throne for less than three years, but he is also a recognized promising king of Wei. Now three years have passed, and Wei has already recovered and it is natural to take action against Yue.
Unlike these countries, Chu State also has princes, but the princes have nothing to do with Daxia, because the princes in Chu were originally evolved from tribal leaders. Although there was no concept of tribalism, the cohesion within the princes was much stronger. Chu State also changed with other countries, but achieved little success. In the end, the king of Chu State had to give up the idea of annexing the princes. However, in order to stop the princes, he came up with a system of resolutions of nine ministers. Simply put, the princes represented by the nine tribal leaders in the country decided the national situation together. However, these nine ministers were not unchanged, but were regularly selected and replaced. In this way, the king seemed to be able to rely on this to control the princes in the country, but on the other hand, it was equivalent to constant consumption within.
