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

Chapter 266 Chapter 260 Five

I'm super cautious—

"Xi Bohou has already begun to think about the benefits they can obtain after the Great Unification."

Huo Guang's faint voice sounded, and King Zhou's heart beat wildly.

……

I will not change history—

"He's weighing the pros and cons and making a choice."

"In his eyes, it is better to abolish the emperor than to persuade him, and then go on his own."

Li Shimin felt that his guess was accurate, he had had this idea before.

……

Prime Minister of Shu—

"Xi Bohou's thinking is very dangerous. He is very good at doing things, and he likes to cut messes quickly."

Zhuge Liang sighed, thinking about Ji Chang's strategy and approach, he said helplessly.

Some people never pursue the optimal solution, but what they pursue is the solution.

Quick fix and all the hassle for later.

……

The three people's mouths made King Zhou's face darken instantly. I called you over to discuss it. You actually think about abolishing the emperor because you are dissatisfied. Are you cheating?I will ask you, is it a scam.

.........

Su Xi felt that Marquis Xibo had the same thoughts, whoever made him not much inferior to you, King Zhou.

"To be honest, Big Brother Di Xin, you carried out reforms and unification in that era. I think you are really trying to die."

"Just like Xi Bohou said, you just need to be ready for the army to wash the world with blood."

"In this world, all strategies, tactics, ideas and reforms ultimately rely on the military."

"War is the continuation of politics. This sentence is a classic among classics."

Su Xi smiled.

"Politics without the support of military power is impossible."

"The fact that the two sides can sit down and negotiate must be due to military strength."

Think about the division of land boundaries and the division of national boundaries in the later generations of China. It is not based on a sentence that my ancestors had, but the support of military strength, which is the confidence gained from victories in several foreign wars.

.........

The ancestor of China—

"The Qin Dynasty was able to achieve the three words of great unification because we worked hard for six generations and achieved it step by step."

"Compared with the Warring States Period, your situation is not much weaker."

"If you want to achieve great unification, you must pay a sufficient price, that is, be prepared to wash the world with blood."

Shi Huang said quietly.

Peaceful Evolution Unification?
You are afraid you are dreaming.

I didn't see how long Liu Bang was messing around in the country after he killed Xiang Yu and Han Xin.

The term peaceful evolution, in essence, does not exist at all.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty claimed to be a peaceful evolution, but if he didn't have the support of the nobles and hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, how dare he wave?
Moreover, even after ascending the throne, he also fought in the south, proving that he has people under his command who are good at fighting, and that the emperor himself has a lot of military strength in his hands.

It's not that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty went to the south with his blood pulse and passed on the list.

The blood of the Han people can only ensure that the resistance in the south is not so strong.

Everyone in the group is basically a winner, and what the winners have in common is that they generally recognize the importance of military strength.

So they agreed with Mr. Xibohou's words of persuading King Zhou to prepare to wash the world with blood.

Great unity, as long as you work hard towards these three words, if you don’t have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, no loyal generals, and don’t kill a few opponents, you’re sure your opponent can sit down and have a chat.

Bullshit.

So everyone felt that Xi Bohou was right.

Of course, although I think Xibohou is right, there are not many people in the group who understand people's hearts, and everyone can guess Xibohou Jichang's thoughts better.

To be honest, they didn't like Xibo Hou Jichang's idea at all.

……

Listening to everyone's analysis, King Zhou's complexion became worse and worse. He stared at Xibo Hou Jichang, suppressing his anger and said:

"Xi Bohou, my contribution to the country is not low now, why do you want to change my heart?"

This question is also curious to everyone in the group.

Xibo Hou Jichang looked calm, looked at King Zhou like that, and replied flatly:

"It's not that I want to replace you, but what you have done is not what we like."

"After you reformed the official system, we princes must all live in the central government. What we are facing are the dignitaries of the Shang Dynasty, such as Bigan and others."

"When the time comes, when everyone comes to the central government, how will you explain to your subordinates? How will you maintain the interests of your subordinates?"

"You know, I am your subject, I have subjects under my command, and my subjects also have subjects, so, are the subjects of my subjects still your subjects?"

Xibohou's rhetorical question stunned King Zhou for a moment.

"Don't mention those things, just the simplest point. After you reform the control, all the rights of the country will be unified into your hands, and you will lose the right to tax. Are we still princes who have the right to choose officials?"

"In that case we are just mere courtiers, let you kill."

"It's too much to lose."

Xibo Hou Jichang shook his head.

To be honest, he didn't like what King Zhou did.

"Don't forget, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and representatives of Zhuxia. We are not much nobler than each other. The people at the bottom have the qualifications to become us, and we naturally have the qualifications to exchange with each other."

"When you reform the official system, you are destroying our interests. To wash the world with blood is to wipe out the interests of the people."

"Let's put it this way, if you hadn't come up with a lot of technology and high-yield grains before, I wouldn't have talked to you about this, and I would have done it secretly."

Xibo Hou Jichang's last words were very irritating, so angry that King Zhou stood up and wanted to kill him.

King Zhou could only be so angry that he sat on the throne again. There was nothing he could do, nothing he could do.

This is because he took out a lot of benefits in advance to satisfy the nobles and the people before they were willing to chat with him, or else they would do it.

"The main reason our ancestors rebelled against the Xia Dynasty was because the Xia Dynasty moved our interests and could not lead us to move forward."

Under a series of blows from Xibohou, King Zhou finally recognized the reality.

Xibohou nodded, yes, that's it.

"And you see that the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty kept the lineage of the Xia Dynasty, didn't they just let them go?"

"We just rotate, not massacre and kill."

Xi Bohou felt that it was no problem.

The Xia and Shang dynasties had relatives.

The principle that everyone basically maintains is that the capable go up and the mediocre go down.

.........

The corner of Su Xi's mouth twitched, thinking of the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty recorded in Shiji.

Jie did not practice morality, but his martial arts hurt the people, and the people were miserable.

Xia Tai, who summoned soup and imprisoned him, has been released.

Tang Xiude, all the princes returned to Tang, Tang then led his troops to attack Xia Jie, Jie went to Wutiao, exiled and died.

It probably means that Xia Jie did not do anything about personnel and offended everyone. Cheng Tang is a good monarch, worthy of support and good morals, and then Cheng Tang became king.

But Cheng Tang exiled Xia Jie and did not kill him.
