Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 98 The Son of Heaven Ji Bai

Chapter 98 The Son of Heaven, Ji Bai, Qi State Goes Down to Conquer the Top
Luoyi, this majestic city located in the world, has become very dilapidated after the passing of time, especially after the decline of the royal family, the royal family devoted all their energy to pleasure.

The envoy of Zheng Guo saw the current emperor, Ji Bai, an old man who looked very decadent, without the so-called majesty of the emperor, and the rituals and music in the palace were also very boring.

Who hasn't heard of the so-called rites and music of the Son of Heaven except Luo?
In the current nations, even a doctor is transgressing the ritual system, and the ritual collapse has reached an extremely serious level, leaving only the emperor's crown that has not yet landed.

As for the patriarchal clan system, it had already collapsed completely, otherwise Chen Guo and Zheng Guogong would not have done these things openly.

Although many people scolded him after the incident, it was more like a cleansing. You see, I scolded him, so I didn't do this kind of thing.

As far as the Luo country knows, how many things like this in the Qi country,

As for the non-marriage of the same surname, the destruction is even more thorough. Apart from the tradition of non-marriage of the same surname between countries, the internal marriage system of various countries has long been destroyed.

The envoy of the State of Zheng saluted the Emperor of Zhou in accordance with the regulations of the Zhou Rituals, and sang loudly: "King Haotian Su is on the throne, the emperor is ten thousand years old, Jieer Zhaoming!"

So all the palace people sang together: "Su Wang Haotian is in the sky, bless the king for thousands of years, and your reputation and virtue will shine forever."

The envoy of Zheng State sang three times, and the palace people sang three times together. At this time, the envoy of Zheng State walked forward on his knees and sat on the seat given by the emperor.

A row of Zheng Guo attendants brought up the gifts presented to Ji Bai. Ji Bai was half lying down, but when he saw these gifts, he sat up straight and asked, "Emissary Zheng, what is the meaning of this?"

The Zheng Guo envoy said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo is the Xiaozong with the surname Ji, and you are the emperor of the Dazong.

The monarch admired your virtue, got these treasures, and thought that only people with great virtue like you can enjoy them, so he asked his foreign ministers to bring them to Luoyi. "

When Ji Bai heard these compliments, he mainly looked at it for the sake of the treasure, and said with a smile: "If all the princes in the world are as loyal as Zheng Hou, would Bang Zhou fall into this situation?"

The envoy of the State of Zheng mourned after hearing the words: "Your Majesty, there are more treasures in Xinzheng City. The king even planned to dedicate the three cities of the State of Zheng to you, but the State of Chen and the State of Song joined forces to attack the State of Zheng. Also ask the king to send troops to rescue Zheng Guo."

Now Ji Bai hesitated a little, he still had confidence in Wang Ji's military strength, but it would be fine to use troops against Chen Guo alone, but if he used troops against Song State at the same time, even if he could win, there would definitely be losses.

But looking at those treasures and the three maps presented by the Zheng Guo envoy, he was very moved.

Seeing this, the envoy of the State of Zheng was about to use his final trump card, knelt down on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, the State of Zheng is guarding the three passages leading to Luoyi. If it falls into the hands of the State of Chen and the State of Song, your safety is still at stake." Who can protect it?

The State of Song was established by descendants of Yin and Shang, but your ancestor was King Wu who destroyed Yin and Shang.

What a terrible thing that is, the minister is really worried about you. "

Zhou Tianzi Ji's complexion changed instantly. Zheng Guo is Wang Ji's eastern gateway. From Zheng Guo to Luoyi, there are three roads that can accommodate the march of the army, and all the checkpoints of these roads are in Zheng Guo's hands.

If the state of song takes the land of the state of Zheng, Wang Ji is like a beautiful woman without clothes facing a hooligan, there is no reason for her to escape.

But envoy Zheng was still fooling Emperor Zhou, because no matter whether it was to ensure the survival of Zheng State or to ensure that these passages would not fall into the hands of Song State, it was not the turn of Emperor Zhou to take action in person.

Ji Bai's face changed a few times, and he said anxiously: "You are right, Dazong should support the loyal Xiaozong."

At this moment, an eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, doctor Luo Qing is asking to see you."

Luo Qing is a son of the official family sent by the Luo Kingdom to Luoyi to keep an eye on Wang Ji's movements, basically changing every three years, somewhat similar to a diplomat.

The envoy of Zheng Guo was a little flustered, but he looked at Ji Bai who was happily playing with the beautiful jade, and he was relieved. Would a monarch who only likes to have fun listen to advice?
For the Luo family, the Zhou emperors of all dynasties have very complicated feelings.

Because Luo Guo's patriarch feels too much, he always looks good for you. The key is that the royal family has repeatedly failed to live up to it, and always makes Luo Guo slap in the face.

It has been proved countless times that after the royal family leaves the Luo Kingdom, it is a giant baby who can't do anything.

Especially after King Xi, the throne of the Zhou royal family did not come from the right path, and there was also an incident of Zhou Luo turning against each other.

The royal family inevitably developed a strong rebellious mentality, and liked to secretly confront Luo Guogong.

Ji Bai looked at Luo Qing who was sitting upright and meticulous, and asked with some discomfort in her heart: "Doctor Luo Qing, you came to see the widow, but do you have something to teach the widow?"

Luo said in a low voice: "Your Majesty.

Would you place fine china on a table that is about to collapse?
Would you lay eggs on the rim of a bronze vessel?

Would you roast your jade in the fire? "

Of course Ji Bai said no, Luo Qing said angrily: "Then why did you agree to Zheng Guo sending troops to Song Guo?

King Li led the six armies of the Son of Heaven to personally conquer Chu, but the six armies were overthrown, and King Xuan lost his troops in the southern kingdom, one by one, can't you learn a lesson?
The affairs of the State of Zheng can be handed over to the State of Luo. If everything is troublesome to the Son of Heaven, then what is the point of being a vassal of the princes?

Please also ask the king to drive the envoys of Zheng Guo back to Zheng Guo immediately. If Zheng Guo is really loyal to you, he must be willing to dedicate the city to you for free. "

The envoy of the State of Zheng's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and a sneer flashed quickly and said: "Doctor Luo Qing, the loyalty of the State of Zheng to the emperor is above the beautiful jade and treasure in front of you, and it is still on the map in the hands of the emperor, and you What a ridiculous thing to say about your loyalty."

Ji Bai looked at the treasures and goods that filled the hall, as well as the beauties sent by Zheng Guo, and the most important thing was the three cities in his hands that could continuously provide taxes.

Immediately said: "Doctor Luo Qing, as the Son of Heaven, coordinating the relationship between the princes is what I should do.

The widow will issue a truce order to Song Gong. If Song does not obey it, it will be a violation of Zhou rituals. It must be the will of heaven for the widow to attack him. "

Luo Qing became anxious immediately, it is indeed your right to coordinate the relationship between the princes, but don't you want to look at your own strength?

Putting aside the Ji Jiang alliance to coordinate by itself, and using the military power of the royal family, isn't this self-defeating?
But Ji Bai is not willing to listen, since Duke Huan of Qi began to dominate, the royal family has been making flowers in the greenhouse for hundreds of years, and the princes of the world have paid tribute to the royal family under the influence of the overlord.

Especially for more than 100 years, the two first-class powers, Qin and Chu, also paid tribute to the royal family, which seriously confused the royal family's judgment of their own strength.

Luo Zhi got the news from Luo Yi, thought of the situation that his aunt and grandmother had analyzed for him, and yelled angrily in front of everyone: "Ji Bai!
If Bang Zhou's destiny falls to the ground, Gu will bring you to King Su for questioning! "

The officials of the Luo Kingdom had never seen Luo Zhi lose his composure like this before, and after asking, they realized that the emperor was going to personally lead the troops to die again.

Everyone was frightened and angry, so Luo Guo immediately sent a second wave of people to Qi, and now this uncontrolled war must be stopped immediately.

But beyond Luo Guo's expectation, Qi Guo's intervention was too fast.

The upper class of Qi State is quite extravagant, especially Qi State's business is prosperous, and the large sum of taxes makes them live too comfortably.

Because of Tian Chang's old affairs, the Qing family did not dare to touch the core power, and the public office lacked talents to control the country, so a very strange phenomenon appeared in Qi State.

The power is actually controlled in the hands of the grassroots soldiers, and these soldiers respectively control a part of the armed forces. The whole Qi State is operating in this kind of unity at the top and division at the grassroots.

When Song State dispatched troops to Chen State, these frontier scholars who rose up by relying on the conflict with Song State made up their minds to do big things.

……

On a dark and stormy night, as a border city, Xuecheng's defenses have always been stricter, but tonight is a little different.

Xue Yuan was an aristocrat stationed in Xue City. This city was the fiefdom of the Xue family. He led a group of soldiers to patrol as usual, but suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

"not good!"

Everyone rushed to the direction where the smell of blood came from, and saw the corpses of a group of soldiers lying in the wilderness, with blood all over the ground, all of them had unbelievable expressions on their faces, as if they had encountered something unimaginable matter.

"Is this done by barbarians, or by Song people?"

There was a flash of pride in Xue Yuan's eyes, but his face was full of anger and he said loudly: "It must have been done by the Song people!"

At this time, a soldier found a weapon made by the State of Song from the pile of corpses, and said loudly: "General, you are really from the State of Song."

The next day, the news that the Song people attacked and killed the Qi people spread throughout Xuecheng.

Xue Yuan quickly assembled the army, brandished his sharp sword and said: "Song people are shameless, they fight without declaration, and kill Qi people for no reason. Is this a disgrace that can be endured?
This general guards Xuecheng for the monarch, and is a loyal minister of the Qi state. If he does not avenge the Qi people, will he still have the face to see the monarch?
This is the sin of falling into the Nine Netherworld, and King Haotian Su will not forgive it.

Are you willing to follow this general to crusade against Song State for loyalty?
Ten thousand years of the Qi Kingdom! "

Under the encouragement of a few supporters, the entire city of Xue soon fell into a common hatred.

On the one hand, Xue Yuan notified his allies of the progress and urged them to put pressure on Linzi. On the other hand, he directly sent troops to Song State, not only Xue Cheng, but also the entire border army of Qi State and Song State.

They are all heroes who have heard Xue Yuan's loyalty and are willing to follow. Of course, it is reasonable for heroes to be allies themselves.

When the envoy of the State of Luo came to Linzi City, he fell into a sluggish state just like Duke Qi.

More than 100 Yuanshi were kneeling and sitting in front of the gate of the palace of Qi State. They held up the cloth written with blood, with everyone's name on it, and petitioned the Duke of Qi together. This scene was really shocking. , It has never appeared in the history of more than 700 years.

"My lord, Song Guo sent troops without permission to kill our Qi soldiers. This is Qi's provocation. If you can't avenge these innocent soldiers who died in vain, do you still have the face to sit in the palace?

Eighteen loyal ministers and righteous men have already led the army to the territory of Song State. Are you going to sit back and watch them fall?
This is not what a wise monarch should do. He also asked the monarch to send troops from the country so that the people of Song Dynasty would pay with their blood. "

Duke Qi was at a loss what to do, Luo Guo envoys fell into an ice cellar, the sun was clearly in the sky, but they only felt cold all over.

……

More than 700 years after the implementation of the patriarchal system, the far-reaching "Qi Palace Blood Letter" incident occurred in Qi State. A total of 130 four doctors and scholars participated in the letter.

This is a mutation product of the collapse of the patriarchal system. Compared with the power slipping into the hands of the high officials, the power of the Qi State has sunk to the lowest level of the nobility, which protects the Qi State Office, but also causes the Qi State Office to lose the possibility of taking back power.

The "Qi Palace Blood Book" incident also shows that the upper echelons of Qi State have basically lost control of state affairs, and the damage that a short-sighted big country can cause is vividly displayed. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
