I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 877

Xiqi.

Xibohou mansion.

Ji Chang is in the right position, with his mother Tairen and Yuan imperial concubine Taiji sitting at the head.

These two, together with Ji Chang's grandmother Tai Jiang, are historically known as the third mother of the Zhou family, which is synonymous with women's kindness and virtue. Later generations call their wives "wives", which also comes from this. They hope that their wives can be like the third mother of the Zhou family, teach their husband and children and help their wives.

In addition to Tairen and Taiji, all the more than 90 sons of Ji Chang gathered in the hall. At a glance, the scale was very spectacular, like a vanguard army.

The first few people were the elegant Boyi Kao, the heroic Ji Fa, Ji Xian, Ji Dan and other brothers in the top ten.

Plus Xiqi's ministers, nominally, they all came to pay tribute to nangongshi.

The old general worked hard for Xiqi and died. If it weren't for him, the 30000 troops would definitely be defeated and return. When the news of his death came back to Xiqi, Ji Chang wept bitterly and almost fainted. It's also reasonable to see him off.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was not only sadness, but also fear and panic.

Because Hou Su Hu of Jizhou, with 150000 troops, has forced Xiqi.

In the past, it only took 100000 troops to destroy Dongyi. Now the military strength is much better than before. No one expected that revenge would come so quickly.

What made them more surprised and angry was that the culprit who clearly provoked the disaster of Jizhou city was Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu, and Su Hu was the first to take Xiqi as an attack target!

In any case, the army has attacked, and it's useless to be upset. After paying tribute to nangongshi, most of Ji Chang's sons quit, leaving only a few dozen people in the hall, which is the absolute top level of Xiqi.

Xiong Zi reported: "Lord, it has been found out that although Su Hu is nicknamed 150000 troops, the real king's division is only 50000, and the remaining 100000 are the support of slave owners and princes. The good and bad are mixed, which is not enough to be afraid."

He was originally a minister of Commerce and later went to Xiqi. In history, he was the great grandfather of the founding monarch of the state of Chu, that is, the ancestor of the state of Chu.

This time, he was ordered to explore intelligence and report the real situation of Su Hu's army at the first time.

The crowd was slightly relieved.

This is good news, not only because the enemy's strength is not as strong as expected, but also because it can be seen from this point that Su Hu did not get all the support of King Zhou.

San Yisheng, the senior doctor, suggested, "Lord, your majesty has no intention of protecting su. As long as you follow the ancestral system, re establish the slave nationality, and then attract the dog Rong to attack, the danger of Xiqi can be solved!"

In history, Ji Chang was imprisoned in Xi (y) by Zhou ǒ u) At that time, this man admonished Ji Fa, begged for beauties and treasures from all over the world, presented them to King Zhou, redeemed Ji Chang, and later assisted King Wu to destroy Shang. He was one of the four friends of King Wen juxtaposed with Nangong Shi.

When Boyi brought the proposal of restructuring, the most fierce opposition was San Yisheng.

You know, the Sanyi family is a big family. As early as Tang Yao, that is, the "Yao" of the five emperors, the Sanyi family had great power. In order to get the support of this tribe, Tang Yao married the daughter of Sanyi family, called her queen, and gave birth to two very famous daughters, that is, empress e's daughter Ying.

Now a thousand years have passed, and the Sanyi family is not as brilliant as before, but it is still the first family in Xiqi. It is naturally their family that has suffered the most from the liberation of slaves.

If Ji Chang hadn't had a strong wrist, he would have turned against each other.

After listening to the words of San Yisheng, Ji Chang's white beard brushed gently and remained silent.

Ji Chang initially disagreed with the emancipation of slaves.

He could not agree. Perhaps many people have forgotten that when Ji Chang first took office as Xibo Marquis, Ji Li was imprisoned and killed by Emperor B, and his status was not stable. In order to rectify the administration of officials, he took measures against the phenomenon of slave escape, checked the escaped slaves on a large scale, and ensured that the slaves would be handed over to the owner after being pursued.

This policy is called "fugitive famine reading" and "fugitive (slave fugitive) famine (large) reading (search), that is, if there are slaves fleeing, they will search. Whoever owns the slaves is not allowed to hide the fugitive slaves.

This was a very conventional operation in later generations, and it was not easy to realize in this era. Ji Chang carried out it with all his strength, which was unanimously supported by slave owners and nobles, and played a positive role in consolidating rule.

When Ji Chang took the seat of Xibo Marquis, he began to "be virtuous and cautious in punishment", and won the reputation of loving the people as a son.

All kinds of policies are properly handled to unite each class around him. The nobles trust him and the people love him. Each measure can be supported to the greatest extent, and Xiqi has the potential to take off.

In terms of the administrative ability of governing the country, the gap between emperor B and Jichang is about as big as that of the former king Zhou.

Then why did Ji Chang liberate slaves and restructure civil and military affairs?

There's no way. Donglu changed the law first, and Xiqi remained unchanged.

The relationship between the four princes belongs to both alliance and competition.

After careful consideration, Ji Chang knew that Xiqi was unchanged now and that the northern plains and southern Xinjiang would move together in the future. Instead of falling behind and being more passive, it was better to make a quick decision and seize the first opportunity.

Not only that, compared with the toughness of Donglu, it all depends on the prestige of Jiang Huanchu and Jiang Wenhuan's father and son and the suppression of military forces, and Ji Chang's means are much more Huairou.

He first spread cultural knowledge to slave owners, little nobles and civilians. In this age, knowledge is only in the hands of the smallest part of people. Even slave owners and little nobles are basically illiterate, not to mention civilians. Jichang asked Boyi to open a school to teach culture. This move has won unprecedented support, and then liberated slaves.

In fact, this is a diversion of attention. In fact, the contradiction still exists. Just after the slaves become an army, practice day and night, and the military strength is strong, it is too late for those slave owners and nobles who react to want to go back.

Now, taking advantage of the king's March, the counterattack began immediately. After sanyisheng's exit, several ministers echoed it.

You should know that all the people present are the absolute high-level leaders of Xiqi, which is already an opposition force that can not be ignored.

"That's a bad word. There's no turning back. The brave wins at the moment of reform. This is what Jiang Wenhuan of Donglu said. The reckless boy still knows this reason. Why did the doctor say this? He broke his arm before the war?"

However, there was opposition, and naturally there was support. It was inconvenient for Ji Chang's sons to come forward, too bumpy and trembling.

He is also one of the four friends of King Wen. Boyi, as a son of the world, is actually the old man with white hair and beard.

There is no doubt that Taidian is a firm supporter of the reform, because he is not a Xiqi man, but a sage who returns to King Wen's "good old-age care". He is highly respected and respected by Xiqi people.

Not only Tai Dian, but also a middle-aged man in white, Hong Yao (H ó ngy) ā o) He was also on the side of supporting the reform. He was the last of the four friends of King Wen. When King Wu attacked Zhou, he held a sword to defend himself. He was the leader of the pro defense.

Nangong is fit to be in charge of military power, sanyisheng is good at government affairs, Taidian is in charge of education, and Hong Yao is the first of the internal attendants. Such four people are Xiqi's team.

But as soon as Nangong Shi died, the four sides collapsed, and the army pressed the border, and the two factions of Ministers began to quarrel again.

Xiqi's day, is it going to change?
