I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Under the freezing weather, the princes who fled from the Zhou royal family arrived in "Puyang" by various roads.

Most of them entered the route of Han's fiefdom, then went north along Shaoshui, turned to the modern Taihang Mountain boundary in the middle, entered "Han's" via "Hukou" and then arrived at "Handan" to settle first.

Some ministers revealed their identities, received the courtesy of the Han family, and were able to reach "Handan" only under the protection of the Han family's troops.

More ministers resented that the Han family did not come to help, and there were no longer dozens or hundreds of servants around them. Not to mention ensuring the quality of life, it would be considered lucky not to be starved to death or eaten by wild beasts, but they still chose to move forward with difficulty.

They came to seek help from the king of the Yuan country, and it could also be an action to accuse the Yuan country of not sending troops to rescue the Zhou royal family when they were in trouble.

At this stage, after the Chu army broke through "Luoyi", a small number of Chu troops retreated and wanted to return to the country, and more Chu troops were still raging in the Zhou royal territory.

The killing of Emperor Zhou is of course a major event, but the greater matter for the ministers is the urgent need to regain lost ground.

The emperor is dead?If there are no heirs, it is a big deal to choose from among the sons who are closely related by blood.

If the ministers had no fiefs, they wouldn't even be able to eat and wait to die.

Facing the Zhou royal family who lost their territory, perhaps some nobles will entertain them, but it is impossible to keep them for nothing for a long time, let alone absorb the ministers as their retainers.

In the era of ceremonies and music, no matter how poor the public officials are, they are directly under the emperor. Their identities are too special, unlike the sons or grandsons of the feudal countries, they can serve other countries and be accepted.

To put it simply, it is too taboo to accept the emperor's close ministers, and if you are ambitious and want to accept it, you will worry about loyalty.

Similar situations have appeared in the past dynasties. After the dynasty reached the end, people with royal blood relations were in an embarrassing and desperate situation. The best end was to hide their names and become an ordinary family. (When Liu Ye defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was a Hanchen)
Some families in the original country treated the fugitive Zhou royal family well, but when it was the turn of the officials directly under the country, another situation occurred.

When the era is about to change, the old rules have not completely disappeared, and the new rules are being adapted. The original country has undergone many changes, and each family still retains a lot of autonomy.

How the family of Yuanguo received the ministers of the Zhou royal family is a private matter.

Those who serve in the country are directly stated or implied that they are not allowed to receive ministers from the Zhou royal family, and at the same time they do not have to do anything to make things difficult, as long as those people do not exist at all.

The Zhou royal family has long been in despair, and too many ministers have lost their ambitions in drunkenness and dreams, and even become ignorant.

There is no shortage of smart people in any group. After they found out that the officials of the original country ignored them, they immediately knew that the situation was not good after a little thought.

Liu Qing is one of the more sober public ministers, and he felt desperate precisely because he was sober enough. Facing a group of people discussing, he didn't speak a single word during the whole process.

"Yuan Jun received Jun's favor and didn't think about defending the emperor, and now he neglects us even more."

"No, the Zhi family gave wealth, and the emperor gave titles, but it was just a transaction."

There is also etiquette in the front.

Afterwards, everything was uncovered naked.

If the second statement is spread and accepted by the world, Zhu Xia will enter another era, and everyone will know that the country can be purchased with goods.

The country is also a commodity?This kind of "reason" is not surprising on Europa's side.The problem doesn't work in the land of Zhuxia, nor should it exist.

Are there any people in Zhuxia who regard the country as a tradable item?Actually there are.

An anonymous person who played the game of "candle light and ax shadow" with his elder brother said that he was familiar with this game, successfully bought most people with money, and then used killing methods to clean up those diehards, not only successfully robbed his nephew of the country , And let the scholar-bureaucrats carry out selective forgetting.

Of course, that anonymous person wouldn't do things too rough. Isn't he just setting up some messy official positions with no real power under the pretense, and paying more wages to the employees?If you can't buy it with money, you have to give up power in exchange for it. At worst, you can share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.

After a whole set of routines, the anonymous person not only sits in the country, but also has a historical position as a wise king. Even the opponents of the bloody liquidation and the descendants of his brother did not make any splashes in the history books, and the understatement was ignored.

"How to meet Mr. Yuan?"

"It's useless to show your identity, and it's useless to pass the words, so what?"

"Yuanguo had no intention of rescue, and the 600-year-old Zhou family died just like this?"

Their original idea was very good. Immediately after seeing Zhiyao, they not only asked the original country to send troops to help regain the territory, but also asked to hand over some of the princes of the Chu country to be executed.

Why not ask Zhiyao to transfer Chu Junzhong to them?They are just down and out, and there may not be many smart people, but it doesn't mean that all of them have pitfalls in their minds.

When many ministers thought that the Zhou royal family would end, they felt chills from the bottom of their souls.

They survived by fleeing. Most of the ministers didn't have time to bring much wealth, and they were destined not to be accepted by any family. Without a skill, they might be able to get some people's hospitality in a short time. Long-term maintenance of eating and drinking will become a problem.

Liu Qing suddenly heard someone propose to go to Lu State, and his face was dull for a while.

Can they defect to the state of Lu?Without any jokes, the state of Chu may be able to accept the ministers of the Zhou royal family, but it is impossible for the state of Lu, which has long called itself a "gentleman's state".

It's not because the state of Lu is in danger, it's simply impossible.

Those ministers who want to go to the state of Lu are a bit silly.

If the original country did not destroy the Lu country because of the need to fight the coalition forces before, and now the Yuan country does not destroy the Lu country, it is willing to have other plans, no matter what the reason is, it will not be a kind of kindness anyway, and go to the past to be used as firewood?
To tell the truth again, even if the Yuan Kingdom had no malice towards the Zhou royal family, it would be impossible to take in the Zhou royal family's ministers.

A long time ago, the state of Chu accepted the Prince Dynasty who launched the rebellion, purely to slap the emperor Zhou in the face, and then disgusting the princes, mainly the state of Jin at that time.

This time, Zhou Tianzi died at the hands of the Chu army, how could the ministers go to the Chu State?
Around the end of winter, news related to the Zhou royal family came from afar, saying that the original army intercepted the Chu army in the old place of the Man clan and captured Jiuding from the Chu army.

The Yuan army who successfully captured Jiuding did not go to the territory of the Zhou royal family, let alone directly go north to enter the Yuan country. Instead, they first went east and wandered around Zhengdi, once approaching the border area of ​​​​the Song country, and then went to "Puyang "March.

Standing in front of the restaurant under the contract, Liu Qing looked at the people from the original country who were cheering, and behind him was a group of Zhou royal family members who were kneeling in pain. He really felt that there was only a threshold, and they became two completely different worlds.

"Yuanguo is like the rising sun, while the afterglow of the Zhou family has already set..."
