Chapter 1054 (1/2)
Su Hao nodded with a slight smile. ”Sister, this name can't be changed. If I'm caught by others, I'm not the daughter of Minshan. I don't know how many people will be difficult to be Minshan. Moreover, I think those concubines in the harem will also take the opportunity to pinch me.”
”It's our selfishness that's bothering you. You have to follow this muddy water.” Ah Yao reproached himself.
”No, elder sister, don't say that. If elder sister hadn't saved me, I would have been dead. I have to thank elder sister.”
A Yao felt ashamed. At the beginning, she was determined to be a villain and used the woman in front of her to rescue the Minshan clan. But the more so, the more guilty she felt.
Now, the woman who has been used is really ashamed to think about herself and her people.
”At the moment, we have to stabilize you first. In private, elder sister will help me to inquire about the situation of Jingbo marquis.”
”All right, listen to you.”
The next day, a Yao told Su Hao the news she heard.
When Su Hao learns about the death of jingbohou, she suddenly feels a stab like pain in her heart. She thinks, maybe what jingbohou said is true, maybe they really had an engagement.
However, they were sent to the Zhou Dynasty before they had time to get round. What happened on the way, so they separated.
Otherwise, why do you feel so sad after hearing of his death, like the death of a relative.
In the next few days, Gong Sheng has been approaching and flattering su. He wants to move her with his true feelings.
But Su Hao just wanted to stabilize the situation, keep himself, but also keep the Minshan clan.
Under Su Hao's advice, Gong Sheng decided to be a good monarch. He really worked hard.
Many ways of dealing with things have also changed. The once cruel, extravagant and licentious monarch of the Zhou Dynasty is becoming more and more like a good son of the Zhou Dynasty.
Even Guo Shifu and Yin Qiu, two of Gong Sheng's favorite courtiers, were gradually weakened by Gong Sheng, so they were exiled.
As a result, many loyal officials of the Zhou Dynasty began to have a new outlook on Gongsheng, and began to have a new hope for the Zhou Dynasty, and Zheng Boyou, the most important loyal official, was also re used.
But things go against our wishes. Some things can't happen as we think.
Gong Sheng learned that the king of Qin was expanding the power of the Qin state, so he sent envoys to summon the king of Qin to Fengjing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and ordered him to be imprisoned in Haojing.
When Fu Ji and Wei Lei, the ministers of the state of Qin, learned that Gong Sheng had imprisoned the king of Qin, they collected many treasures, toys and beauties for Gong Sheng to ask for his release.
After a Yao got the news, she told Su Zi. Su Zi thought it was a good opportunity, so she admonished Gong Sheng, hoping that he could really be a benevolent king.
”No, a Li, I can do anything for you, but I can't do it.”
”Sir, why not? Didn't you promise to be a good king after that? Then why should the king of Qin be imprisoned? ”
”The king of Qin wanted to revolt at all. Now he has annexed many vassals. It's hard to guarantee that he won't have a bad idea about the Zhou Dynasty one day.”
”But Sir, have you ever thought about why the king of Qin did so? If you have been bullied by other countries for years, won't you try to save yourself? ”
Gong Sheng looks at a Li's firm eyes, takes a deep breath, eases his mood and thinks.
Seeing the situation, Su Zi went on to say, ”my Lord, people have to compare their hearts to each other. In the past, the tyranny / politics of my lord led to the displacement of countless people in other countries, the destruction of many vassal states, the continuous wars everywhere, and the people's livelihood. All these are the reasons planted by my Lord. Now, the king of Qin has to stand up and is determined to save himself and the oppressed people.”
Su Zi went to Gong Sheng, gently lifted Gong Sheng's hand, gently laughed and said in a soft voice, ”you, this is the result. You can't just blame them because of others' resistance. You also have to reflect on them, don't you?”
”But if it's true, as a Li said, to let the king of Qin go back, he will not only not be restrained, but will fight against it!”
”My Lord, let him go and set an example to let him know that he and his subjects will no longer be threatened. How can he stir up trouble? If this is true, other vassal states will never sit back and ignore it. After all, the world is more willing to live in peace than to live in misery.”
Gong Sheng ponders over a Li's words. He knows they are reasonable, and he also knows that she is for his good, but it's not easy to correct her way of doing things in the past.
After hesitating for a long time, Gong Sheng answered a Li and ordered the king of Qin to be released back to Qin.
Unfortunately, it was a little late. Without waiting for Gong Sheng to set an example and express his intention to live in peace, his imprisonment of the king of Qin had already caused more panic among the princes and local governments. They all went to the state of Qin and were willing to help the king of Qin destroy Zhou.
In the feudal and Fangzhong states of the Zhou Dynasty, there were three vassal states loyal to Gongsheng in the eastern region. One was the state of Jiao, one was the state of Zhu, and the other was the state of Chen.
The influence of these three Zhou States is not small, and their areas are close to Qin state.
After returning to Qin, the king saw more and more people rebelling against Zhou and returning to Qin, so he discussed with Fuji and WeiLei about the conquest of Jiao and Zhu.
After some planning and preparation, the king of Qin and Fuji led a joint army to help Qin. They attacked the state of Jiao first, and the state of Jiao was soon destroyed by the Qin army.
