A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 59
Gongsun Wuzhi hated Qihou deeply. After he ascended the throne, Qihou humiliated Gongsun Wuzhi several times, and then stopped paying attention.With the power of Gongsun Wuzhi, there is no chance of rebellion.

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng was going to look for suitable nobles in the Qi Kingdom. After all, the Qi Kingdom had been in civil strife for so long before, and many nobles participated in it. There were always some Qihou who were dissatisfied.

It's just that Wang Sheng searched through these letters, but couldn't find a suitable candidate.He can only order the spy to continue collecting intelligence about Qi.

Luoyi.Since Emperor Zhou moved to the east, the influence of the Zhou family, which experienced the Haojing Rebellion, has greatly declined, and the fact that the two kings stand side by side has once again reduced the limited prestige of Emperor Zhou.

Marquis Jin and Marquis Zheng escorted Emperor Zhou to move eastward. They originally wanted to use the prestige of Emperor Zhou to seek some benefits for each of them. Great impact.

Therefore, Jin Hou and Zheng Hou were very dissatisfied with Guo State.Ji Yuchen proclaimed himself king in Xiedi, and was supported by the nobles of Gaojing Wangji.Although Marquis Jin and Marquis Zheng were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to attack easily. After all, seriously, this is also Zhou Tianzi.

On the contrary, it was Ji Yijiu's reputation that was not good because of Qi's grandfather Shenhou and Quan Rong's attack on Hojing, and even his father, King Zhou You, died here.As a result, Ji Yijiu was also suspected of killing the king.

With the assistance of Jin Hou and Zheng Hou, Ji Yijiu gradually established some prestige and stabilized the situation.At this time, Ji Yijiu also began to deal with the matter of the two kings standing side by side, which seriously threatened his legitimacy. If Ji Yuchen was not eradicated, his edict could only be implemented in Luoyi.

Ji Yijiu issued an edict ordering the Marquis of Jin to kill Ji Yuchen, who was supported by the nobles of King Ji of Gaojing, which was exactly what the Marquis of Jin wanted.With Ji Yijiu's order, it would not be regicide for him to kill Ji Yuchen again.

After experiencing the chaos of Haojing and the looting by the dog army, the nobles around Haojing were also seriously injured. Although the Guo State that supported Ji Yuchen was also a vassal state, and its status was very high, it was a fence for the Son of Heaven.

But the strength of Guo State is far inferior to that of Jin State, and more importantly, part of Guo State also moved eastward with Ji Yijiu, which led to the weak strength of Guo State and Wang Ji nobles who supported Ji Yuchen.

Even after Ji Yijiu took control of Luoyi, he had completely overwhelmed Ji Yuchen.

The army of the Jin State marched south, and the nobles of the Guo State and Gaojing Wangji formed an army to resist.It's just that the army of the Jin State has conquered the Rong and Di all the year round, and has rich combat experience. Both in strength and numbers, it surpasses the armies of the Guo State and the nobles of the King Ji of Gaojing.

After Qin Guo learned of Jin's intention, he immediately tried his best to help.Originally, after Qin State was made a vassal, the land of Fenghao was also handed over to Qin State by Ji Yijiu, but with these Haojing Wangji nobles, Qin State could not control the land of Fenghao at all. With the help of the power of the Jin State, these Wangji nobles were wiped out.

It can be said that Qin State and Jin State hit it off, and now the two sides are working together to deal with Wangji nobles and Guo State. Originally, Wangji nobles and Guo State were not as powerful as Jin State, and the gap is even bigger this time.

Jin Hou Ji Qiu commanded the army to attack, and the Guo State coalition army was defeated in a row, unable to stop it. Finally, the army invaded Xiedi, killed Ji Yuchen, and captured the nobles of Gaojing Wangji, and then returned.

And the Qin State not only wiped out the Wangji nobles in the land of Fenghao, but also wiped out the Guo State.With the help of Jin State, Qin State annexed the land of Fenghao and Guo State in one fell swoop, and its strength has been greatly improved.

Ji Yuchen was killed, and Ji Yijiu became the only Zhou emperor.

When the Marquis of Jin came back victorious, the Emperor Zhou was overjoyed when he learned about it.As the most powerful country among all concubines, the Marquis of Jin has the strong support of the Marquis of Jin, and no one is competing with him for orthodoxy. Ji Yijiu's position is suddenly as stable as Mount Tai.

After receiving the support of Zheng Guo and Jin Guo, Zhou Tianzi's reputation grew day by day.In order to express his importance to the Marquis of Jin, Zhou Tianzi specially greeted the Marquis of Jin by the bank of Luoshui.

The Marquis of Jin was very happy to see Zhou Tianzi being treated so courteously.

On the bank of Luoshui, Ji Yijiu excitedly held the hand of the Marquis of Jin, and said emotionally: "In the past when the Zhou Dynasty collapsed, Marquis Zheng Bo of Jin came to rescue him first, and then escorted the widow to move eastward to Luoyi, and now he even helps the widow to kill Rebellious person, I really don't know what to say to express my respect to you."

"I can become the king of Bangzhou, it is your great help, your kindness, I will never forget it! What kind of reward do you want, except for the position of emperor, as long as I can do it, I am willing to share with you. I hope you Can assist the widow just like Zhou Gongdan assisted King Wu and King Cheng!"

Marquis Jin was also moved when he heard that the Son of Heaven was so affectionate and he compared himself with Duke Zhou. I will be alone all my life, and I will assist the emperor from generation to generation with my descendants."

Immediately, Ji Yijiu also bit his finger, wiped it on his lips, and said: "I swear, I will live up to the Marquis of Jin in this life, and my descendants will live up to the Marquis of Jin."

The officials of the Jin Kingdom, the nobles of Luoyi Wangji and several other princes were shocked when they saw this scene. They did not expect that the Emperor Zhou would give such a great courtesy to the Marquis of Jin.The eyes of the officials of the Jin Kingdom were full of surprises, but the nobles of Luoyi Wangji were a little more vigilant.

The Marquis of Jin is valued by the emperor, so it will definitely affect the rights of them.This also aroused Zheng Bo's dissatisfaction with Dig Tu. At the beginning, Duke Huan of Zheng assisted King Zhou You, and they were killed together under the Lishan Mountain in Haojing.

This Bo Zheng took advantage of Zhou Tianzi's inspection of Guo State to annex Guo State, and when he married his daughter, he annexed Hu State.It can be said that this Uncle Zheng has used the emperor and all the people or things that can be used to the extreme, which has already disgusted the emperor of Zhou.

When Zheng Guo moved to the east, he only donated ten cities from Dong Guo State and Qi State, but now Zheng State has annexed many small countries such as Qi State, Dong Guo State, and Hu State. The place of money has become one's own territory.From then on, the state of Zheng became a great country in the Central Plains.

The state of Zheng used the name of the emperor of Zhou to expand the territory and use all kinds of schemes to rob the land, which has already made the emperor jealous.At the same time, Wang Ji's nobles and other surrounding vassal states were also dissatisfied with Zheng Guo.

Under pressure from the Son of Heaven, the Marquis of Jin, and other royal nobles, Zheng Bo had to give up a large piece of land west of Zhiyi to the Son of Zhou.But the repercussions of its despicable acquisition of land did not end there.

King Ping moved to the east, Marquis of Jin destroyed him, and assisted the Zhou family. King Ping felt the kindness of Marquis Wen of Jin, treated him as Fang Bo, and swore an alliance with him, and the Zhou family was stable. ——"Historical Records Zhou Benji"
