A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 50
The speed at which Bang Zhou fell was beyond everyone's expectations.When Ji Gongyu came to the throne, the talent he showed did not seem to be a mediocre lord, and even many princes who paid attention to Bang Zhou felt that Bang Zhou was going to prosper again this time.

But before they could react, Ji Gongyan fell at an astonishing speed.This Zhou emperor was even more fatuous than his father Zhou Xuanwang in his later years.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven is so stupid, other princes and states no longer pay attention. After all, now that the Zhou Dynasty is declining, those great princes no longer pay attention to Zhou Tianzai.

In the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Wang, the Son of Heaven regarded Empress Shen as the daughter of the Rong people, abolished Empress Shen's position as queen, and appointed Baosi as queen. For the prince.

Abolishing the concubine and establishing the concubine is a taboo to destroy the Zhou rituals, not to mention that the Empress Shen is the daughter of the Marquis of Shen Guo.And Shen Guo is an important barrier to the west of Wang Ji.This is very important to Wang Ji.

Since the time of King Yi, when Rong Di became bigger, Bang Zhou Wang Ji was often harassed.In the 200 years since the establishment of Bangzhou, most of the other vassal states have driven away or strangled Yidi after 200 years of development, which is no longer a climate, but the situation of Wang Ji is just the opposite.

Xi Rong gradually prospered and moved to Wang Ji, and the pressure on Hao Jing was increasing.In the period of King Yi, Hao Jing needed the power of Shen Guo to block Rong Di.

This is why King Xuan of Zhou arranged for his son Ji Gongyan to be the queen of Shen.With the Shen family as the queen and the Qi State as its mother clan, it can be said that Ji Gongyu's throne is as stable as Mount Tai.However, after Ji Gongyan got Baosi, she didn't look down on the Shen family at all, and not only abolished the queen, but also abolished the prince.

This can be said to have slapped Marquis Shen severely.

Marquis Shen is also a big country, how could he allow himself to be bullied like this.Even Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongzhen sent people to ask Shenhou to hand over Ji Yijiu and send it back to Wang Ji to kill.

What Ji Gongnie did completely angered Marquis Shen, Marquis Shen directly ordered the envoy to be beheaded and sent back the envoy's head.

Shenhou's actions directly angered Ji Gongyan, who was furious, and immediately summoned an army to conquer Shen.

Shenhou was not afraid at all when he learned that Ji Gongnie was coming to attack.Shen Guo has been fighting Xirong for 200 years since it was sealed in the west of Haojing, and it has developed from a small country with a place of a hundred miles to a big country with a place of five hundred miles.Shen Guo can be said to have experienced many battles.

What's more, Shenhou hated Ji Gongyan deeply this time, so he directly invited Xirong.Xirong originally coveted the land of Bangzhou Wangji. In the past, because of Shen Guo's obstruction, he fought Bangzhou several times, but failed to win.Now Marquis Shen actually contacted Xirong, which made Xirong very happy, and immediately agreed.

When Ji Gongyan led the army to come, the two sides fought a battle.As a result, Bangzhou's army was defeated, and Ji Gongyan fled back to Haojing in a hurry.But Xirong was unwilling to let him go, and the army chased him, beheading him in Lishan, and even his and Baosi's son Ji Bofu were killed.

The Xirong people broke through Haojing and ransacked Haojing.Haojing was broken, and Bangzhou was shaken.Because Ji Gongxuan's defeat was so fast that the surrounding princes didn't even react, and Haojing had already been breached.

Several vassal states led Qin Wang's army to come, and then defeated Quanrong and recovered Haojing.Shenhou also led the army to escort Ji Yijiu back to Haojing.

After some discussions, the princes jointly supported the former prince Ji Yijiu as the throne.

At the same time, after some discussions, the posthumous title "You" was given to the dead Ji Gongyan as King Zhou You.

Obstructed and obstructed is called secluded; movement and stillness are often called secluded; early solitary position is called secluded; early lonely place is called secluded; quiet.

Although the princes and ministers said that the position of early loneliness is called You, but that is just a fig leaf. The real meaning is that violation of etiquette and disorder is called You;

After finishing the posthumous title, it can be regarded as a final conclusion for Ji Gongyu.The next thing is a little troublesome.

Since the time of King Zhao, there have been various address disasters here in Bangzhou Wangji, and it has become more serious in the time of King You. In addition, this time Haojing was attacked by Quan Rong and became dilapidated, even if Quan Rong was defeated. , and its threat is also extremely high.

If Zhou Tianzi continues to be placed in Haojing, who knows that these princes will leave on the front foot, and Quan Rong will come back on the back foot.It can be said that Haojing is no longer suitable as Wang Ji.

So the princes wanted to move the Bangzhou royal family to Luoyi, the eastern capital.

It's just that this approach angered the nobles in Wang Jinei.These aristocrats in the king's territory are all fiefs and fiefs near Haojing. If the emperor moves away from Luoyi, what will they do?
You must know that after 200 years of development, there are already Wangji nobles on the land within a radius of [-] miles of Luoyi, and there is no place for them like Haojing nobles.

These Wangji nobles moved to Luoyi, without the support of the land fiefs, they would soon decline.Therefore, on the matter of moving to the east, Wang Ji's nobles unanimously opposed it.

But Haojing was dilapidated, mountains and rivers were cut off, and he didn't know how long it would take to restore it, so he had to move eastward to Luoyi.And after some turmoil, the strength of Wang Ji's nobles was so weak that they were no match for the princes at all.

The nobles within Wangji basically used political methods to influence the world by controlling the emperor of Zhou, while the vassal states outside Wangji relied more on force.Even if Wang Ji's nobles don't want to, there is nothing they can do.

Therefore, Zhou Tianzi, who had just ascended the throne, moved the capital of the country to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty under the protection of the princes of Zheng, Qin, and Jin.

Zheng Guo and Jin Guo urged the emperor to move eastward because Haojing was too far away from their feudal country.It is inconvenient to control, but after migrating to Luoyi, Zhou Tianzi is basically under their control.

As for the state of Qin, it is hoped that Zhou Tianzi will leave as soon as possible.Since the Qin Kingdom was enfeoffed in the Qin Land, it has grown from a small country within fifty miles to a big country in the past hundred years.Because if you go west to north, the environment will be even worse, and if you go east, you will be blocked by the state of Jin.

Therefore, upon learning that Emperor Zhou was going to move eastward, Qin State was the first to respond and cooperated very actively.As long as Emperor Zhou left, the land of Haojing would belong to Qin.

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, even if the princes inside Wang Ji were unwilling, Zhou Tianzi set off for Luoyi under the guard of Zheng, Jin, Qin and other princes.

It's just that the nobles in Haojing were not reconciled. These people found Guo Gonghan, one of the three lords, and they discussed to support another son of King Xuan, Ji Yuchen, the younger brother of Ji Gongyan, to become king in Xiedi.

So during this period of time, two Zhou emperors appeared in the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, Gaojing was breached, and the prestige of the Zhou royal family had dropped to the lowest level.

The father of Guoshi was good at flattery and profit, and the king used it, and the people of the country all complained.After the king abolished Shen and went to the prince, the Marquis of Shen was angry, killed the envoy, and reprimanded King You, who was furious and launched an army to attack Shen.Shen made an alliance with Rong and Di, King You was defeated and fled to Mount Li. Xi Rong pursued and killed King You at the foot of Mount Li, captured Baosi, and took all the goods and left.The princes jointly established the former prince Yijiu as King Ping to worship Zhou. —— "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Huai Palace · Zhou Benji · The Beacon Overwhelms Zhou Ping Wang Dongqian"
