Chapter 132: Lamenting the Past
When the words came to this, the expressions of the two of them were very solemn, and those who knew history were almost unbearable to look back on the Jin Kingdom.
All kinds of chaos and violence are full of power struggles, which is exactly what Wei Ziheng needs to face.
In the thirty-fifth year of the Marquis of Jin Wen, the Marquis of Jin Wen died, and his son Marquis Zhao of Jin ascended the throne. Marquis Zhao of Jin gave Qu Wo to his uncle to become a teacher, this is Uncle Qu Wohuan. Quwo City is larger than Yicheng, the national capital of Jin Jun, and Uncle Qu Wohuan has a city larger than the national capital, which obviously violates the etiquette of the monarch and ministers at that time, and also shows that to a certain extent, Uncle Qu Wohuan threatens the status of the monarch.
In the seventh year of the Marquis of Jin Zhao, the minister of the Jin State, Pan's father, killed the Marquis of Jin Zhao, preparing to welcome Uncle Qu Wohuan into the capital of Jin as the monarch, Uncle Qu Wohuan also wanted to take the opportunity to seize power, but the people of Yicheng opposed Uncle Qu Wohuan and raised troops to resist, and Uncle Qu Wohuan was defeated and retreated from Qu Wo. The people of the Jin Kingdom established Ji Ping, the son of the Marquis of Zhao of Jin, as the Jun of Jin, that is, the Marquis of Jin Xiao, and the Marquis of Jin Xiaohou killed the traitor Pan's father and stabilized the situation.
In the eighth year of Jin Xiaohou, 73-year-old Uncle Qu Wohuan died in the regretful mood of unpaid ambition, and his son Qu Wo Zhuangbo succeeded to the throne. The struggle between Quwo and Yicheng continued, and as the blood relationship became more and more estranged, the struggle between the two sides became even more tragic.
In the fifteenth year of Jin Xiaohou, Quwo Zhuangbo sent people to Yicheng to assassinate Jin Xiaohou. The Jin people counterattacked with the assistance of Xun and other princes, and Quwo Zhuangbo retreated to Quwo. The people of the Jin Kingdom supported the son of the Marquis of Jin Xiao, the Marquis of Jin.
In the seventh year of the Marquis of Jin, the Marquis of Jin and Ehou died, and Quwo Zhuangbo took the opportunity to attack Yicheng. King Huan of Zhou sent the respected Duke Yu to lead a coalition army to attack Quwo Zhuangbo, Quwo Zhuangbo fled back to Quwo to defend, and the Jin people supported the son of the Marquis of Jin and Ehou.
In the eighth year of the Marquis of Jin, Qu Wowu Gong sent troops to attack the Jin State and captured the Marquis of Jin. The Jin people set up the boy Hou as the monarch, and at this time Quwo became more and more powerful, and it was already on par with the strength of the monarch.
In the fourth year of Jin Xiaozihou, Xiaozihou was deceived by Qu Wo Wugong to Qu Wo to kill him, and no one knows how to kill him. King Huan of Zhou sent Yu Zhong to crusade against Quwo Wugong, Quwo Wugong fled back to Quwo, and Ji Jin, the younger brother of the Marquis of Jin, was made the Marquis of Jin.
In the twenty-eighth year of the Marquis of Jin, Qu Wowu Gong attacked the Marquis of Jin and destroyed Jin in one fell swoop. In order to get the recognition of Zhou Tianzi, Qu Wo Wu Gong used all the treasures of the Jin Kingdom to bribe the king of Zhou Jiao, so the king of Zhou appointed Qu Wo Wu Gong as the king of the Jin State and was among the princes. Since Uncle Qu Wohuan sealed Qu Wo, Uncle Qu Wohuan and Uncle Ji Cheng completely defeated Ji Qiu and won the orthodox status of the Jin Kingdom.
Next was an extremely important civil strife in the history of the Jin Kingdom, the Liji Rebellion. Its influence has been talked about until now.
In the eighth year of Jin Xiangong, in order to avoid the recurrence of the incident of Quwo Daiyi, Jin Xiangong killed all the sons of the original Jin Kingdom, and took "Jiang" as the capital, which was known as "the clan of Huanzhuang" in history
In the fifth year of Jin Xiangong, when Jin Xiangong attacked Lirong, he got Li Ji and was very fond of her. Jin Xiangong wanted to establish Li Ji's son Xi Qi as the crown prince, so he deliberately alienated his three talented sons, and ordered the prince Shensheng to live in Quwo, Gongzi Chong'er to live in Pucheng, and Gongzi Yiwu to live in Qucheng.
In the sixteenth year of Jin Xiangong, Jin Xiangong established two armies, and successively defeated and destroyed Huo, Wei, and Geng. Give Geng to Zhao Shu and Wei to Bi Wan, so that they can become doctors.
In the twenty-first year of Jin Xiangong, Li Ji framed Shen Sheng to make Jin Xiangong mistakenly think that Shen Sheng wanted to harm him, and Shen Sheng committed suicide to show his innocence. At this time, Chong'er and Yiwu came to see Jin Xiangong, and after getting the news, they were afraid that they would be affected and fled back to the fiefdom one after another.
In the twenty-second year of Jin Xiangong, Jin Xiangong was very dissatisfied with Chong'er and Yiwu's farewell, thinking that they really had a conspiracy, so he sent an army to crusade against Pucheng, and Chong'er went into exile. Jin Xiangong sent people to crusade against Qu, and the Qucheng people defended with all their might and were not captured. In the winter of the same year, the Jin State took advantage of the Yu State to destroy the Yu State, and the Duke of Yu fled to Jingshi, and the Jin army turned back and attacked the Yu State by the way, capturing the Duke of Yu and Jing Bo and Baili Xi, and the Duke of Jin Xian married Mu Ji to Qin Mugong to marry Qin and Jin.
In the twenty-third year of Jin Xiangong, Jin Xiangong sent Jia Hua and others to attack Qucheng, and Yiwu fled to Liang State.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jin Xiangong, the Jin army attacked Zhai State, and Zhai State also attacked Jin State in Sisang, and Jin State withdrew its troops and retreated. Li Ji's younger sister Shao Ji gave birth to a mourning son for her father.
In September of the twenty-sixth year of Jin Xiangong, before the death of Jin Xiangong, he entrusted Gu Xun Xi, Xi Qi succeeded to the throne, Rick and Pi Zheng wanted to take back Chong'er, and killed Xi Qi at the funeral of Jin Xiangong in October, Xun Xi set up Zhuo Zi and buried Jin Xiangong. In November, Rick killed Zhuo Zi in the court, and Xun Xi felt sorry for Jin Xiangong's request, so he committed suicide to apologize. Rick and others sent people to Zhai Country to prepare to welcome Chong'er back, but Chong'er refused. Yiwu wanted to return to the Jin Dynasty and asked Yin Rui to bribe the Qin State with generous gifts, and agreed to dedicate Hexi to the Qin State. At the same time, he also wrote a letter promising to seal the city of Fenyang to Rick, and Qi and Qin escorted Yiwu back to the Jin State to succeed to the throne, which was the Duke of Jin Hui.
What happened after that was the relationship between the Jin and Qin states.
In the first year of Jin Hui A, Jin Hui Gong broke his promise and did not cede land to Qin, and at the same time did not give Fenyang City to Rick, and seized his power. In April, Jin Huigong fled because of Chong'er, for fear that Rick would support Chong'er again and become the next Xi Qi, so he instructed Yin Rui to lead his family to assassinate Rick, and Rick committed suicide in desperation. Pi Zheng did not come back because he went to Qin to apologize and survived. Jin Huigong reburied the crown prince Shensheng according to the etiquette. When Pi Zheng heard that Rick had been killed in Qin, he told Qin Mugong that LĂź Province, Yi Cheng, and Ji Rui were unwilling to give Hexi to Qin, and suggested that Qin bribe them to drive away Jin Huigong and send Chong'er back to Jin. Qin Mugong agreed to him, and LĂź Xing, Yin Cheng, and Ji Rui learned that it was Pi Zheng's idea, and sent people to kill Pi Zheng and his party disciple Qiyu Dafu, so that the people of the Jin State no longer obeyed Jin Huigong. Pi Zheng's son Leopard fled to Qin and asked Qin to attack Jin, but Qin Mugong did not agree.
In the second year of Jin Huigong, Zhou Tianzi sent Zhaogong to visit Jin Huigong. Jin Huigong had an arrogant attitude, and Zhao Gong sneered at Jin Huigong and returned to Luoyang Wangcheng to restore his life. So, Jin Huigong offended Zhou Tianzi as well.
In the fourth year of Jin Huigong, there was a famine in the Jin State, and he begged the Qin State to buy grain, and Qin Mugong agreed. The grain fleet from Yongcheng to Jiangcheng is continuous, and the history is called "the battle of rafting".
In the fifth year of Jin Huigong, there was a famine in Qin State, and he asked Jin State to buy grain, but Jin Huigong not only did not give food, but listened to slander and took the opportunity to attack Qin State, Qin Mugong was furious and sent troops to attack Jin State.
In the sixth year of the reign of Duke Hui of Jin, the State of Qin attacked the State of Jin. In September, the Battle of Hancheng resulted in a great defeat of the Jin State and the capture of Jin Huigong. Jin Huigong's sister Mu Ji was Qin Mugong's wife, and Mu Ji pleaded with Qin Mugong in mourning clothes, so Qin Mugong released Jin Huigong back to Jin in November.
In the eighth year of Jin Huigong, the crown prince of Jin State was sent to Qin as a proton, and the daughter concubine of Jin Huigong was a maid in Qin State.
In the tenth year of Jin Huigong, the Qin State destroyed the Liang State. The state of Liang was once the place of refuge for the Duke of Jin Hui and the mother of the crown prince's mother.
In the thirteenth year of Jin Huigong, Jin Huigong was seriously ill, and the crown prince was worried about the loss of inheritance, so he secretly fled back to Jin.
In the fourteenth year of Jin Huigong, Qin Mugong resented Jin Huaigong for not saying goodbye, so he looked for Chong'er, who had been in exile for many years, and prepared to send him back to China to take the throne. When Chong'er arrived in the Qin State, Qin Mugong married five women from the same sect to Chong'er. In September of the same year, Duke Hui of Jin died, and Prince Yu succeeded to the throne as Duke Huai of Jin. Jin Huaigong was afraid that Chong'er would return to China and seize power, so he ordered the families of those who had previously followed Chong'er to exile to recall them to return to China within a time limit or destroy the clan, and coerced Chong'er's maternal grandfather Hu Tu to recall his two sons, Hu Mao and Hu Yan, intending to weaken Chong'er's power. Hu Tu saw that Jin Huaigong's position was unstable, and said a big reason, that is, he refused to carry out Jin Huaigong's orders. Jin Huaigong was young and vigorous and killed Hutu. In November, Jin Huigong was buried.
In the first month of the first year of Jin Wen, under the escort of 3,000 Qin soldiers, Luan Zhi and Xinggu were the internal responses, and returned to the Jin Kingdom after a 20-year absence, and entered the capital in February to ascend the throne. Jin Huaigong fled to Gaoliang and was killed soon after.
When the words came to this, the old butler's voice became more and more excited. Soon the most talented king in the history of the Jin Kingdom will appear, and he is known as the Duke of Wen of Jin.
There is a lot of admiration and praise between the words, and his achievements are obvious to all, but it is also the Duke of Jin Wen who hastened the demise of the Jin State from another aspect, and in the years when he served as the monarch, the six secretaries of the Jin State were promoted by leaps.
Wei Ziheng couldn't help but sigh: "This is an inevitable result, Duke Wen of Jin, although he is both civil and military, and he can appoint talents with the support of the people, but he is a king after all, and he can't change many things." â
Duke Wen of Jin, surnamed Jin, is the twenty-second monarch of the Jin Kingdom, the son of Jin Xiangong, and his mother is Fox Ji. Jin Wen Gong Wenzhi has outstanding martial arts, is the second overlord in the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, and is also one of the five hegemons in ancient times, and Qi Huan Gong is called "Qi Huan Jin Wen".
Jin Wen Gong was a son at the beginning, modest and studious, and good at making friends with talented people. He was forced into exile for 19 years during the Lihime Rebellion.
Later, with the support of Qin Mugong, he returned to Jin to kill Jin Huaigong and stand. During the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, he appointed Hu Yan, Xianzhen, Zhao Yuan, Jia Tuo, Wei Li and others to implement the policies of trade and agriculture, Ming Xianliang, and rewarding meritorious service, and served as the six secretaries of the three armies, which greatly increased the national strength of the Jin State. Externally, he united with the Qin State and the Qi State to attack Cao's attack and defense, rescued the Song Dynasty and Zheng, and pacified the rebellion of the Zhou Muzi Belt, and was rewarded by Zhou Tianzi. After that, in the battle of Chengpu, he defeated the Chu army with a small number of victories, and summoned Qi, Song and other countries to meet the alliance in Jiantu, becoming the second overlord among the five hegemons canonized by the king of Zhou, and creating a century-long hegemony of the Jin state.
The old housekeeper was quite moved when he talked about this: "Although there are still many Ming monarchs after that, their merits are still not as good as those of Jin Wengong. â
Wei Ziheng nodded and said: "It's a pity that the current Jin Kingdom is no longer the Jin Kingdom, to be honest, the angle we are standing on is also very embarrassing." As courtiers of the Jin Kingdom, we want the Jin Kingdom to still be strong, but there are always some people who don't want to do so. â
"I understand that there is no way around it."
"The Jin Kingdom has become what it is now, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the political system?"
"Don't look at me as a housekeeper, I've read some related history books. The Jin State's own historians, their evaluation is like this. Since ancient times, there has never been a future, and it cannot exist, it exists between a special heaven and earth, and an important mission has befallen him, and he holds his destiny tightly. The old housekeeper still has some feelings for the Jin Kingdom, but in front of him, he has to put his heart on the Wei family.
Even together with some of the people of the Jin State now, although they are called the people of the Jin Kingdom, their hearts already belong to these Qing clans, and none of the princes' people will be so concerned with the people of the Jin Kingdom.
Every time Wei Ziheng talked about this, he couldn't help but sigh a little. Although I know that this is a result of accumulation over time, the current form seems to be irreversible, and no one is willing to contribute to the Jin royal family, and some talents are all scraped by the Qing family.
A frightening possibility, slowly emerged.
Will the Jin Kingdom disappear later? Will it really be like what Sun Tzu said. The final Zhao clan will unify the Jin Kingdom, and from then on the name of the Jin Kingdom will become Zhao!
No one knows, and no one dares to speculate.
