Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 681 656 BC

公元前656年，该年是周惠王21年；鲁僖公四年；秦穆公四年；陈宣公37年；蔡穆侯19年；郑文公17年；宋桓公26年；楚成王16年；齐桓公30年；晋献公21年；燕襄公二年。

In the original historical trajectory, in this year, Jin Xian Gong Ji Guizhu wanted to make Ji Xiqi, the youngest son of Li Ji, the king. Li Ji framed the prince Ji Shensheng and wanted to poison his father. Ji Shensheng ran to Xincheng (i.e. Quwo, Shanxi Wenxi) , hanged himself.

Now, Shen Sheng did not die, but took fifty chariots and a group of direct descendants and rushed away.

Originally, because of Shen Sheng's death, all these people were submerged in the dust of history, leaving no ripples and no names.

As they follow Shen Sheng's footsteps, history will be rewritten and they will step onto the stage of history. Some of them will definitely leave a mark in history.

Qi Nu was lying on one of the chariots, beaten to pieces.

In fact, her car has been lengthened and widened so that she can lie flat. Xiaobao and Zhi also put several layers of mattresses for her, but the road today is not a smooth asphalt road, and the chariot is made of two big wooden wheels. The wheeled carriage has no shock-absorbing facilities at all, so you can imagine how bumpy it is.

After all, she was still a patient who had not fully recovered. How could she withstand such a bumpy situation?
But she endured the discomfort of having her internal organs knocked out, gritting her teeth and not letting out a whimper.

Occasionally, he made a few muffled groans, which were drowned in the rumble of the car.

Big treasure and little treasure followed the chariot, running or walking.

After half a month of training, the physical fitness of the two people has improved to a certain extent, but of course it cannot be compared with their original bodies.

Because Qi Nu has to recuperate from her injuries, she can only walk occasionally and cannot exercise.

While she was lying down to rest, she tried many cultivation methods, but none of them worked.

Even the remaining Ziyang Qi in her body could not be used at all.

The administrator is really cruel. Apart from practicing martial arts, there is no spiritual energy or other things that can be practiced here.

The only thing she can do now is to pray secretly, hoping that her fragile and disabled body can support the Qi Kingdom.

Fortunately, there was a female doctor by her side, who took care of her body in every possible way, and her physical condition improved to a certain extent during the half month she was recovering from her injuries.

In order to relieve her physical discomfort, she had to divert her attention to see those who escaped with Shen Sheng.

She didn't recognize any of these people, and could only roughly tell what kind of person they were based on their clothing.

Not everyone has a chariot to ride in. The attendants are simply dressed and can only walk behind the chariot on foot.

The clothes of the diners are of various kinds, some are rough and bold, some are ordinary, they look similar to the attendants, but their aura is something that the attendants cannot possess.

Some of them are gorgeously dressed and have impressive equipment, and they look like they come from an extraordinary aristocratic family.

Not all diners have chariots to sit in. Many people just ride horses alone, whipping their horses and whips.

There were not many attendants who actually followed the chariot on foot, at least not as many as those on the chariot or on horseback.

Therefore, the speed of the chariot is very fast, and the attendants are not left behind. They are obviously carefully selected.

If an attack does occur on the road, everyone is a warrior.

Among all the chariots, Qi Nu's chariot ran last.

Shen Sheng had no intention of deliberately slowing down for her, because as long as he left the fiefdom, it would mean rebellion. As long as the monarch gave the order, he would be continuously pursued and intercepted.

The road from Quwo to Qi State is not short. If it were not for the light carriage and fast running, I would not be able to leave Jin State at all.

Qi Nu was the only female family member he brought with him. Except for a few extremely close confidants, no one else knew that there was a woman in one of the chariots.

Shen Sheng's meaning is obvious. You followed here voluntarily. You will be lucky if you can reach your destination.The reason why Qi Nu was allowed to follow her was also for her mother's sake.

It is said that it is not uncommon to dream about the deceased, but it is not easy to get guidance from the deceased in the dream.

This is a bit like witchcraft, so Shen Sheng decided to take Qi Nu with him to see if she could still get guidance from her mother in her dreams in the future.

If she is really the person her mother likes, she will definitely be protected by her mother, and she will not die easily.

If Qi Nu knew what Shen Sheng was thinking, she would probably break out in a cold sweat.

Where does the lady's blessing come from? I just pulled off the tiger skin casually!
The largest country at this time was Chu, followed by Jin, Qi, and Qin.

It is no longer the early Spring and Autumn Period, and some small countries have been destroyed.

Duke Xian of Jin was a ruthless man. He conquered Li Rong, Geng, Huo, and Wei (a vassal state with the surname Ji, not a Wei state during the Warring States period), defeated Di Rong, and adopted Xun Xi's false plan to attack Guo, annihilating Strong enemies were the Yu and Guo states, and history said that they "merged seventeen states and conquered thirty-eight states."

Therefore, he was the one who laid the foundation for Jin's hegemony. Otherwise, there would be no Jin Wengong's hegemony.

It was also because of his remaining power that although many troubles occurred in the Jin Kingdom after his death, it did not damage the foundation.

Duke Huan of Qi, the first overlord of the Central Plains, led a group of young men from small countries and could not command the three big countries of Qin, Chu and Jin.

At this time, the ruthless Duke Xiang of Jin was furious when he heard that Shen Sheng not only did not commit suicide, but was actually planning to flee to Qi.

He wanted to abolish Shen Sheng precisely because Shen Sheng was the grandson of Duke Huan of Qi.

Qi is one of the few vassal states not named Ji, and the Zhou Dynasty prohibited intermarriage with the same surname. Therefore, countries with the surname Ji cannot marry, so they can only marry women from countries not named Ji.

Therefore, the daughters of the kings of Qi basically married the princes of the princes surnamed Ji, and their descendants naturally became the next king.

Qi Jiang is the daughter of Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Xian of Jin is the son-in-law of Duke Huan of Qi, and Shen Sheng is the grandson of Duke Huan of Qi. If Shen Sheng succeeds to the throne, won't he be submissive to Duke Huan of Qi?
Duke Huan of Qi is now the overlord of the Central Plains, and his influence is far greater than that of the previous king of Qi. This is the real reason why Duke Xiang of Jin wants to abolish Shen Sheng, so as to prevent Jin from becoming a puppet of Qi in the future.

But he didn't expect that Shen Sheng's death would indeed cut off contact with the Qi State. But Xi Qi, a young son whose ancestral country had been wiped out, had no strength and power of his own, and no support from his mother's clan. How could he take on the role of the Jin State? The position of king of a country?
Duke Xiang of Jin obviously couldn't think that far ahead. He was now angry just because Shen Sheng didn't commit suicide.

"The prince has defected, hunt him down immediately!"

Three hundred chariots set off in a mighty manner and headed towards the fleeing Shen Sheng.

Shen Sheng also knew that his father would not just let him escape to Qi State, and the closest place to Quwo was the Zhou State of the Zhou royal family.

No matter what, although the majesty of the royal family is not as good as before, it is still a royal family after all. Qi Huangong's dominance is also in the name of respecting the king. At least now no vassal state dares to openly attack the royal family.

King Hui of Zhou had long received the news that Shen Sheng was coming to the royal family. After discussing with the ministers, he decided to accept Shen Sheng's arrival.

First, Shen Sheng has a very good reputation, has both political integrity and talent, and is excellent in all the six arts of a gentleman.

Second, he really couldn't bear to see Duke Xiang of Jin. He just wanted to marry his mistress, but he actually openly violated the Zhou royal family's rule against marrying someone with the same surname and married Li Ji and Shao Ji.

If you want to marry, just marry him. After all, no one will attack him for such a thing. Now it's better to kill Shen Sheng, and then dethrone him and establish a concubine.

Well, Qi Jiang died a long time ago. Now that Jin Xiangong has made Li Ji his wife, it can't be completely regarded as dethroning the legitimate concubine.

But everything comes first, and Shen Sheng is the eldest son after all. It is taboo to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger son. It will shake the country's foundation and plunge the country into turmoil.

Three hundred chariots rushed forward slowly, and just when they were about to catch up with Shen Sheng's convoy, Shen Sheng's convoy had officially entered the territory of the Zhou royal family.
