It's scary, the group is actually full of ancient bigwigs

Chapter 240 Chapter 230 Nine

King Zhou's face turned bitter.

I have just been enthroned for a few years, and I just married a beautiful wife. If you treat me like this, are you human?

I just joined the group, you old fritters dealt a devastating blow to me, it's too much.

King Zhou was not in a good mood.

.........

"In an era when knowledge rights are not decentralized, we need to pay attention to the promotion of people at the bottom."

"You don't know whether you are promoting a human being or a god."

"In this case, it is better to open the upward channel and let the people at the bottom fight by themselves."

"The military merit system of the Qin Dynasty is like this. Only those who come up through fighting are useful."

Su Xi shook her head. It was not a troubled time to randomly promote people at the bottom.

.........

Fighter in the wine pool and meat forest—

"Those people I promoted probably only remain loyal."

King Zhou's face turned bitter.

He promoted low-level talents to deal with those nobles and those who opposed him.

But now it seems that loyalty alone is not enough, it must be capable.

Only when his ability is beyond the limit can he really help him.

.........

"No, they are still very good as pioneers, and they have indeed helped you a lot."

"At least, you are defeated, and they are willing to die with you."

Su Xi shrugged.

"As a king, you are quite successful."

.........

King Zhou's face looked better, and he was praised as a qualified king, which is not bad, and it feels good.

.........

True - self-made -

"I'm curious about another thing now, that is, why did the royal families of the Shang Dynasty betray King Zhou?"

"This incident is amazing. In theory, simply touching the slave system should not make them betray, nor should they oppose theocracy."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

This was the thing he didn't understand the most.

.........

I will not change history—

"Similarly, it stands to reason that the betrayal would not be so thorough. Even after Emperor Sui Yang took action against the Yang family, he did not betray at the beginning. It was only after Emperor Sui Yang began to take the entire Yang family and the Sui Dynasty to the abyss that he betrayed. of."

"When Emperor Sui Yang cleaned up the Yang family, there were still people who supported him. The sons and daughters of Emperor Sui Yang did not betray him. Why did King Zhou even betray him in the end?"

"This is not something that can be solved simply by fooling around."

Li Shimin didn't quite understand either.

Betrayal always starts from the outside.

……

After King Zhou watched his final ending, both sons betrayed him, which is really incomprehensible.

In theory, he should not have touched his son's interests.

.........

"Later generations guess, because of interests."

"A huge benefit that goes far beyond touching slavery."

"King Zhou reformed the official system and promoted people at the bottom."

"Everyone can accept this, Wang, I just found some retainers for myself, it's acceptable."

"In this way, although the royal families of the Shang Dynasty didn't like it, they still reluctantly accepted it."

"What they can't accept the most is that King Zhou asked Xibohou and other princes to be officials, and go to their Shang Dynasty royal family headquarters to be officials."

"The official position is not small."

"This is the most unacceptable level for the royal family of the Shang Dynasty."

"This is a blatant smashing of jobs, smashing the jobs of those royal families."

.........

After Su Xi finished speaking, the people in the group seemed to understand.

...

In the time and space of the big man, Huo Guang held the teacup in his hand and froze in mid-air, with a look of astonishment on his face.

I'm super cautious—

"It's okay, it's okay like this,"

"King Zhou used Xibohou and others as officials, which directly touched the interests of the original Shang royal family."

……

Confucius, who was racing, was stunned on the spot because of that sentence, and almost overturned the car. The sentence that used Xibohou and others as officials touched the power of the royal family and made him wake up instantly.

One-handed chariot—

"The system of the Shang Dynasty is also a kind of enfeoffment. Xibohou and others live very well in their own vassal state."

"At that time, the official position was hereditary, and everyone was replaced in a cycle."

"The forces of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty were all active in the central power center of the Shang Dynasty."

"And the forces of those vassal states are all active in the Quartet."

"The vassal states are under the control of the central government, and the rights of the powerful figures of the royal family in the Shang Dynasty are logically superior to the vassal states in the four directions."

"And the power of the vassal states is like a frontier official."

"King Zhou promoted them to the central government. The princes were not willing to do so, and the royal power in the central government of the Shang Dynasty was even more unwilling."

"Originally everyone's game is that the princes are in the four directions, playing around in their own princes' country, playing with women and giving birth every day, drinking and having fun."

"The royal power of the Shang Dynasty played in this way at the central government. Everyone can contact remotely if they have nothing to do. The division of interests is very clear."

"However, King Zhou's promotion of the princes to the central government touched the interests of both sides. Both sides were unhappy. The princes didn't want to come, and the royal family didn't welcome them. The two hit it off and sold King Zhou."

Confucius deduced it according to his own understanding.

.........

Everyone in the group covered their faces, what the hell is this shit.

This really touched the fundamental interests.

……

Su Xi smiled wryly. At that time, King Zhou, his actions should have fooled everyone.

"According to speculation, all the nobles at that time should have been dumbfounded."

"This operation is really scary."

"Theoretically speaking, according to the characteristics of the vassal state, if you don't have to be ambitious and want to be king, it is the same situation as when the Western Han Dynasty was founded. In fact, in most cases, the group of vassals are in a state of drunkenness and dreaming."

"In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, especially the Shang Dynasty, the king of Shang was not much higher than the title of Marquis of Xibo. At least in terms of power, he did not reach the absolute rule of the emperor, and that period was also the era of Zhuxia. Everyone Everyone can be called Xia, and everyone is inherited from Emperor Yan and Huang, so they are all brothers, so where does the high and low come from?"

"At that time, Shang was more like a big brother to the vassal states in the four directions, the big brother in a family."

"Others, theoretically, were unambitious in the first place."

Su Xi felt that King Zhou really forced them to rebel.

...

I will not change history—

"Then is there another possibility? Xibohou was originally an ambitious person, and they first wanted to overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty."

Li Shimin asked another question.

After all, ambition is something that will multiply.

Su Xi sighed.

"I ask you, according to historical records, Xibo Hou Jichang, how many children he gave birth to."

As soon as this question came out, everyone was stunned, what does it matter.

"At that time, only the surviving children could be called children, and ten women gave birth to children, and it would be good if four survived."

"Xibohou theoretically records eighteen sons, which can be investigated, but some people say that King Wen of Baizi has a hundred children."
