Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 716 Zhao Dun Kills His King

Just when Zhao Yang and others were hesitating whether to unite with Qi State and attack Wu together, Qingji was still busy gathering princes in Cheng Zhou.

For three whole days, on the banks of the Yishui River outside Chengzhou, Qingji stayed up all night with the kings and dignitaries of other countries, hunting and chatting, and having a good time with the host and guest.

It's just that there is no such thing as a feast in the world.

After that, the princes, ministers and officials all bid farewell to Qingji, and then left one after another to return home.

Qingji hadn't left yet. During this incident, he even summoned Zhao's current monarch——

Zhao Ji!

Ying surname, Handan family, so also known as Handan Ji.

The ancestor of Handan Ji was Zhao Chuan, who was the ancestor of the Handan clan.

Therefore, the Zhao family and the Handan family belong to the same line.

The fourteenth generation ancestor of Zhao Shuai was the founding father of the ancestor of the Zhao family. The ancestor was Shu Dai, a minister of the Zhou Dynasty (the leader of the Zhao family with the surname Ying). The development of Jin.

The ancestor of the Handan clan, Zhao Chuan, was Zhao Shuai's nephew.

"Zhao Zhifu (Zhao Yang)'s wolf ambition is well known in the world. This time, the widow was established as a vassal and became the king of Zhao. I am afraid that it is Zhao Zhifu, who will not let it go."

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Dun covers the sky with one hand, even the elder brother who kills the king will help his younger brother.

After that, Duke Xian of Jin sent troops to attack Pudi, where Chonger was guarding. Chonger went into exile, and Zhao Shuai, Hu Yan, Jia Tuo, Xian Zhen, Wei Ji and others followed.

Hearing this, Zhao Ji lowered his head, sighed faintly and said, "Marquis Wu, if there is no Marquis Wu to help this time, and the Zhongxing and Fan clans contribute, I am afraid that the Handan clan will disappear."

At this time, Qingji summoned Handanji in his own camp.

Zhao Dun is really a good brother. In order to tolerate his younger brother, he willingly received the notoriety of regicide.

Because Zhao Shuai was extremely favored in the Jin Wengong and Jin Xianggong dynasties, the Zhao family had a very high status.

The ruling ministers of each vassal state are all from Wu, and the armies of each vassal state were also formed and trained by Wu.

At this time, Zhao Chuan, who had a slightly distant blood relationship with Zhao Dun, acquired a new identity——

The State of Zhao is no better than the States of Xu, Cai, and Zhongwu.

After Zhao Shuan's death, his son Zhao Dun, with the assistance of many people, became a Zhengqing who concentrated military assistants and ruling ministers in one body, with one man under ten thousand.

When divination came to serve Chong'er, the result was auspicious, so he went to serve Chong'er.

Zhao Shuai, courtesy name Ziyu, posthumous title "Cheng Ji", also known as Mencius Yu.

"..."

After Chong'er returned to the country and won the throne, Zhao Shuai was appointed as Shangqing and granted the original land.

Anyway, Duke Ling of Jin died without leaving any heirs. Zhao Chuan was sent to Cheng Zhou to welcome the new lord, Hei Hip, back to Jin to ascend the throne.

After Zhao Dun came back, he took care of the funeral affairs for Duke Ling of Jin.Zhao Chuan got into trouble again, this time it was a crime of regicide.

The vassal state of Wu State basically borders Wu State, and Wu State can indeed be very influential, develop its own hegemony, and station troops in the capitals of each vassal state.

At the beginning, Zhao Shuai did divination whether he was serving Jin Xiangong or serving several princes, but the results were not auspicious.

However, Qingji has no such plan yet.

The son-in-law wears it.

Such a vassal state, in fact, is almost the same as a county in Wu State.

Hearing this, Qingji just laughed it off.

Later, Duke Xiang of Jin passed away early, and Duke Ling of Jin was young, so Zhao Dun was able to directly control the government and gain power for a while.

After that, Shudai passed down several generations to Zhao Shuai, who inherited the Zhao family title.

I never thought that the relationship between the ancestors was so good, but in Zhao Yang's generation, they are fighting in the same room.

Military, political, economic, and even cultural aspects have all been integrated with Wu State, basically the same.

After Jin Linggong grew up, he was unwilling to be Zhao Dun's puppet again, and he wanted to kill Zhao Xiangguo.

Zhao Zhan gave birth to Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng gave birth to Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu gave birth to Zhao Ji. He was the doctor of Handan of Jin State for generations, and he was another powerful political force besides the six ministers of Jin State.

However, Qingji seriously suspected that it was indeed Zhao Dun who ordered Zhao Chuan to kill Duke Ling of Jin behind his back.

Zhao Chuan already had his own fiefdom before his death——Handan, the Xuntuming clan, not the Handan clan, as a side branch of the Zhao clan in Jin.

"Your Majesty, please also garrison troops in the State of Zhao. Your Majesty is willing to pay tribute to the State of Wu, and to court Wu for generations!"

The young Zhao Chuan seemed to have an arrogant and extravagant nature, with an attitude of fearlessness, because he knew in his heart that with Zhao Shuai and Zhao Dun as his backers, no one could do anything to win him.

Dong Hu, the official historian of the Jin State, watched Zhao's misconduct, and wrote a pen: Zhao Dun killed his lord!

When he was dying, his worried son Zhao Zhan entered the political arena under Zhao Dun's arrangement.

During Zhao Shuai's (or Zhao Dun's) reign, in order to further win over the Zhao family, the Jin imperial family betrothed the daughter of Duke Jin Xiang to Zhao Chuan as his wife, with the intention of getting closer.

Zhao Chuan followed Zhao Shuai since he was a child, and had a close friendship with his cousins ​​Zhao Dun, Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Yingqi and Han Jue.

Various laws and policies of Wu State are also implemented without hindrance in each of the vassal states...

After more than ten years of hard work, the nine vassal states of Wu State, Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Tang, Xue, Teng, Ju, Zhu, and Tan, have basically been absorbed by Wu State.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think it is possible to use the Handan family to counter the Zhao family, and use the small to gain the big?"

For a full 19 years in exile, Zhao Shuai and others never left Jin Wengong, so they were favored by the latter.

Their common ancestor was Zhao Shuai.

Just like this, Zhao Dun, who dotes on Zhao Chuan, only punishes and reprimands his cousin a little bit.

Zhao Dun had no choice but to flee outside to avoid the limelight.

While drinking and drinking, Qingji did not forget to ask Handanji with great interest.

Garrison in Zhao State?
joke.

In this case, Qingji can already annex these nine vassal states of Wu at any time, mixing up the territory.

During Jin Jinggong's period, Zhao Zhan was rewarded to enter the ranks of Qingshi, which can be said to be that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.

Therefore, Zhao Chuan became the well-known "Second Patriarch" of Jin State at that time!
During the Battle of Hequ between Qin and Jin, Zhao Chuan repeatedly made troubles, destroying the good deeds of the Jin army headed by Zhao Dun, so that the Jin army almost returned without success...

How can Handanji let go of Zhao Yang's revenge for killing his father?

One day, Jin Linggong was playing in Taoyuan. Zhao Chuan, who happened to be the general of the guard at the time, killed Jin Linggong, and then sent people to welcome his cousin Zhao Dun back to Jiangcheng.

After all, Zhao Dun said at the time that he was in exile, but in the final analysis, he did not flee to another country, and was still within the scope of Jin!

However, it is undeniable that in Qingji's heart, this matter has already been put on the agenda...

The situation in Zhao State is different.

Zhao State and Wu State are separated by thousands of miles, beyond reach, and Zhao Yang's influence in Zhao State is so huge, how can Wu State affect the situation in Zhao State?
garrison?

How many soldiers and horses does Wu Guo want to station in Zhao Guo?
