Chapter 108: The Zhou Royal Family (1)

"It's your business!" Tian Yan was so angry that she kicked Ji Qiao hard before leaving.

Tian Yi was a little embarrassed: "Gongzi Qiao was also beaten." ”

Ji Qiao advised: "Tian Yi Gongzi, don't tell others about this matter, otherwise the princess will kill you." ”

Tian Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Gongzi Qiao, I know the proportions of this." ”

Ji Qiao suddenly sighed: "Tian Yi Gongzi, I found out that I did something wrong!" ”

Tian Yi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ji Qiao sighed: "Alas! I shouldn't have broken you up with Lin Shi in the first place, but now I realize that you two have a good brain, and they are a perfect match! ”

Tian Yi said very seriously: "Why don't you return her to me?" ”

Ji Qiao smiled: "How can you pay it back?" This woman is dependent on me, and she can't get rid of it. ”

Tian Yi said again: "Young Master Qiao, this is looking for me to be happy." ”

......

Ji Qiao now thinks that after last night's incident, although the contact between Princess Wei and Tian Yi has been ruled out, most of his thoughts are right, and this woman is very likely to be mixed into these female team members.

Especially the woman who said that she was a good man that day, if she wasn't the princess of Wei, most of them were also instructed by her, and she must pay attention to it.

Ji Qiao went to Tian Yan and said, "Princess, give me a list of the names, ages, and mansions of your team members." ”

Tian Yan asked angrily, "What do you want to do?" Do you want to marry all of them back, so that you can arrange the size. ”

Ji Qiao replied: "When the performance and competition come, if anyone asks, I can introduce it!" ”

"Okay." Tian Yan nodded in agreement.

......

Suddenly, King Qi's people came over and asked Ji Qiao to go to the court immediately.

After Ji Qiao arrived, he learned that it was the King of Zhou who sent an envoy over, saying that he wanted to move the Games to Luoyi, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and that King Qi wanted to hear his opinion.

After thinking about it, Ji Qiao replied: "Your Majesty, this matter is feasible, and it just saves us a lot of worries and troubles. ”

The king of Qi asked, "What does King Zhou mean by this?" ”

Ji Qiao replied: "There are two reasons: first, King Zhou is the Son of Heaven and wants to use the sports meeting to show the prestige of the Son of Heaven; Second, the Zhou royal family was too poor, and the king of Zhou wanted to make some money with this move. Because during the Games, there was a large influx of people from all over the world, which could bring a lot of income to the Zhou royal family. ”

Ji Qiao knew that during the Warring States Period, the powerful vassal states were eyeing the Zhou Dynasty and trying to unify the world and replace it. Therefore, Jiuding, which symbolizes the royal power and the destiny of heaven, has naturally become a rare national treasure that the princes will want to take.

In the later period, due to financial difficulties, the Zhou royal family could not make ends meet, so they destroyed Jiuding to mint copper coins. To the outside world, it was falsely claimed that Jiuding had disappeared, and even said that one of the tripods had flown east and sunk into Surabaya. lest the vassal states raise troops to come to the championship and ask for trouble.

Although this claim seems plausible, it is not supported by any historical evidence, so it is difficult to believe.

But it also proves one point: the Zhou royal family is indeed poor!

......

The ministers were a little incredulous: "How can the Zhou royal family be so short of money?" ”

Ji Qiao replied seriously: "Of course it is missing, the Zhou royal family is such a small place, and there are many princes, so it's no wonder that there is no shortage!" ”

At this time, the situation in the Zhou Dynasty was still more complicated:

In 441 BC, King Zhending of Zhou died, and his eldest son, Ji Quai, legally inherited the throne.

But he was an unlucky family, and after only three months on the throne, his younger brother Uncle Ji attacked, and he had already raised the dead and assassinated him.

But Uncle Ji had only been on the throne for five months, and he was attacked and killed by his brother Ji Wei, and the process was even more complicated and intense!

In other words, the team of the second child is stronger than the boss, but the third team is better!

In this way, the third Ji Wei became the king of Zhou, the king of Zhou, and the grandfather of the current king of Zhou (King Zhou An - Ji Jiao).

What's even more comedy is that King Zhou Kao has a younger brother named Ji Jie, who also has some skills! Let King Zhou Kao stay awake at night, and he is afraid that Ji Jiejie will also learn from himself to usurp the throne. But Ji Jie's power has been established, and it seems difficult to completely eradicate it, so he has to seal it to a rich land.

Ji Jiejie established a palace in the fiefdom, recruited troops, collected taxes, and became a new kingdom.

King Zhou's behavior towards his younger brother is also helpless! After all, he only has a few thousand troops, and it is an impossible task to conquer Ji Jie.

Ji Jiejie established the Western Zhou Kingdom (not the same concept as "Western Zhou"), which was the Duke of Huan of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou royal family was artificially divided into two parts: east and west.

The whole story can be said like this: more than 60 years ago, the second child killed the eldest child, the third child killed the second child, and the fourth child became independent.

In other words, now such a small Zhou Dynasty has two kings: the Eastern Zhou King and the Western Zhou King. However, the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is still the nominal king of Zhou, the co-lord of the world.

......

King Qi asked at this time: "According to the intention of Prince Qiao, I, the Qi country, should give up the right to host this sports meeting to the Zhou royal family." ”

Ji Qiao replied, "Yes." ”

King Qi asked again: "Should I participate at that time?" How many people should I bring? ”

Ji Qiao replied: "The king can participate!" However, the Kingdom of Qi and the Zhou royal family are not adjacent to each other, and they have to pass through other countries on the way, so it is inconvenient to bring too many troops, and it also costs money and food, and 50,000 elite soldiers are enough! ”

King Qi nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!" Qiao Gongzi will accompany him at that time. ”

"Obey orders!"

......

Ampang Hou Mansion.

When Lin Shi heard about this, she was very excited!

Ji Ling was also happy: "I will also go this time." ”

Dongfang Jiao immediately made a decision: "I decided to go out as a family!" ”

Ji Qiao suddenly said: "Mrs. Dongfang, why don't you also go to practice Taju, I want this women's team to make a name for itself!" You are good at martial arts, you learn quickly, and you will definitely be able to help when the time comes. ”

Dongfang Jiao said excitedly: "You said it earlier, I've always wanted to go, but I just feel that I'm old and I'm embarrassed that no one invites me." ”

Ji Qiao said with a hippie smile: "It's big there, I think you are younger than Lin Shi!" ”

Dongfang Jiao also smiled: "Also, this girl is old-fashioned!" ”

Lin Shi said angrily: "You can hit my IQ, and you still think I'm ugly, I believe it!" ”

Dongfang Jiao ignored her, but said: "Young Master Qiao, I only participate in Taju, and I don't participate in the performance of the show." ”

"Okay, whatever you like." Ji Qiao replied.

......

After eating, Ji Qiao found Dongfang Jiao alone: "Mrs. Dongfang, I asked you to join the women's bowing team, and I also wanted you to help find out the whereabouts of the princess of Wei, I suspect that she has mixed in." ”

Dongfang Jiao said: "We will check these people one by one, and we won't get it." ”

Ji Qiao shook his head and said, "That's not good, just turn people away." What I want to do is to take things into my own hands, and maybe use her instead. ”

Dongfang Jiao nodded again and said, "That's right, you can't do things too straightforwardly, I'll try my best to check." ”

Ji Qiao told again: "You have to pay attention to the ways and means, don't let the other party notice, this woman is extremely cunning!" The moat woman dived and said a few days ago that I was not a good woman's farce, all at the behest of this woman. ”
