Su Dai, Lu Maoshou and other cadres entered the palace one after another and met with King Yan. The ministers all said that King Wu summoned the Duke to Yan Land, and Yan has existed for 700 years, and the country has ended. Wangxu imitates the way of Yao and Shun, focusing on the mountains and rivers and the society, and making the virtuous people Zen. One of Yan Xiangzi's hearts is for the country, and he is a sage. The king will take the throne Zen and the son, go up to the sky, and settle the people. The king can also sit and enjoy the blessings and continue the clan. This is the blessing of the clan and the blessing of the people.

When King Yan heard this, he was speechless for a while, and cried bitterly: "King Wu is cutting down, and the ancestor is summoned to Yan." Yan is located in the northland, bordering the Rongdihu people. The fate of the Yan Kingdom was bumpy, and it almost destroyed the country. Rely on the ancestors to have spirits in heaven and protect their descendants. The Yan Kingdom has survived for more than 600 years, and has passed on more than 30 monarchs. There is no fault for the widow, and An Neng will give his ancestors to others. After the widow dies, how to face the ancestors underground. ”

"Since ancient times, there has been prosperity and ruin, prosperity and decline. King Wu cut down and sealed hundreds of countries. Today, there are no more than twenty princes. Is there an immortal country, an invincible home? The Yan Kingdom has been passed down for more than 700 years, and by the time it came to the king, the country had been exhausted. The king also followed Yao Shun's example and gave way to the sage. The name of the king can also be passed down to future generations and be admired. ”

"The king gave way and continued Yan Guozuo. The king can also continue the temple, and his descendants can also be treated as kings. The king's move will not be infamous by the world, but will be passed down through the ages. ”

"How can you do such a disobedient thing if you are a widow who eats the widows."

"We are not loyal to the king and loyal to the country. In fact, the Great Yan Kingdom has been exhausted, and the king has no blessing. ”

"You... You guys..."

"Your Majesty, please speak a word if you allow or not."

"If the king doesn't allow it, I'm afraid that the disaster of the wall will break down. The temple was destroyed, and the clan did not exist. ”

Ji Hao saw that no one in the court was loyal to Yan, loyal to him. If you don't show your attitude today, you will inevitably be forced into the palace. The temple was destroyed, the clan was slaughtered, and there will be no day of revival in the Yan Kingdom. At this moment, all he can do is endure. He pinned his wish for the revival of the Yan Kingdom on the princes and clans. Ji Hao sighed and sobbed: "The widow is willing to give Yan Guochan to his son and enjoy his life." ”

"Yan Xiang will live up to the king's trust."

"The king let the country and Yan Xiang, he is really a great sage and benevolent person."

"The widow gives the country a condition." Ji Hao said: "The Zen ceremony needs to be unprecedented. ”

"This is what the king said. The king should announce the princes and warn the people of the country to appease the hearts of the princes. ”

Ji Xu got up, wept and left the hall. All the people in the temple laughed.

The ministers went to congratulate Zizhi, and Zizhi asked, "The king has descended to Zhao, give way to me." There is an edict today, whether I should obey the mandate of heaven. ”

"Yan Xiang, this matter is important, don't be in a hurry."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Although the king issued an edict, he also handed over the official seal of 300 stones to Yan Xiang for appointment. However, the princes and people of the world are not allowed to go into details. In the future generations of the world, they can't help but feel that Yan Xiang has the name of usurpation. Please don't be impatient. ”

"How can I conform to the mandate of heaven and become the king of Yan without being criticized by the world."

"The king has promised to build an altar and hold a grand ceremony. Yan Xiang chose an auspicious day, convened a hundred stone officials, and ordered King Yan to personally seal the seal and Zen the world. It can put an end to the discussion of the people, and it can also calm the mouths of the princes. ”

"Good. Everything is arranged by Mr. Zi Zhixi said: "If the king wants to hold a grand ceremony, the widow will fulfill his wish." ”

Three days later, Yan Guo held a grand ceremony of Zen concessions.

King Yan invited his son to the altar to receive Zen, and the stage gathered the officials of the Yan State and the 100,000 soldiers of the Yan army. King Yan personally held the seal and enshrined it in his son. Zizhi's pretense excused him again and again, and King Yan was inviting him. The son is embarrassed, and he accepts it.

Ji Hao said: "The widow will hand over the world to you." ”

The son bowed down and said, "The son does not live up to the king's trust." ”

In 316 B.C., Ji Hao let the country and his son pass to Handan, Zhao State. Zhao Yong took the national letter of Yan Guo and asked distractedly: "How can the ancestral inheritance be given to others." King Yan is not a human king, he is willing to be a minister, and he is a Zen and a son. Ladies and gentlemen, King Yan is crazy. ”

The south of Zizhi did royal affairs, and King Yan chose to be a minister. Since the establishment of Ji Zhouzhi, there has only been a move to give up, and there has never been a monarch who has cede the position of the monarch to his courtiers. Yan Wang Xu practiced Zen, which was a unique thing in the Ji Zhou era. Ji Xu's absurd behavior made Yan Guo make a big move. The Kingdom of Yan became the focus of attention of the princes of the Central Plains. Yan Guo, which has always been peaceful, is no longer peaceful. Although Ji Hao gave up the national Zen to Zizhi, the capital of Yan is still in Jicheng, and Yan is still called Yan Guo. The difference is that the monarch of Yan is no longer surnamed Ji, but someone else.

This time, the monarch and the ministers changed positions and the power was handed over, and there was no turmoil in the Yan Kingdom, let alone bloodshed and sacrifice. The calm in Yan Country makes people not see the slightest sign of changing hands. Zizhi, the successor of King Yan, appeased his subjects and implemented new policy reforms on the one hand, and sent envoys to various countries on the other side to inform the princes of Ji Xu's relinquishment of the country. Zizhi is the king of Yan, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are more than enough to deal with domestic rebellions. If the vassal states of the Central Plains sent troops to intervene, he had no chance of winning. The realm of Yan is surrounded by the sea in the east, bordered by Donghu in the north, and Qi, Zhongshan and Zhao in the south. The person who poses the greatest threat to the son, in addition to Qiang Qi, is Zhao Guo. Yan and Qi have always been friendly, and there is no gap. However, there was a war between Yan and Zhao. In 326 BC, Zhao Su Hou Yong, Zhao Junyong succeeded to the throne. Gongsun Yan invited the princes of the world to seek the Zhao State in the name of the funeral. Yan Guo also participated in that military operation.

Wei Qi, Qin, Chu and Yan were buried in the five countries, waiting for the opportunity to destroy Zhao Buke. The three kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Qin, and Chu improved relations with Zhao. However, not only did Yan not improve relations, but also intended to seize the northern frontier of Zhao. The Yan army marched south, invaded Daijun, and surrounded the Zhao State. Zhao Junyong personally led the army north to rescue. The two countries of Yan and Zhao fought at Pingcheng Shaoliang. The Yan army was defeated and forced to sign an alliance with Zhao under the city. The person who commanded the army of Yan to the south was Zizhi and Yan Wang. Jinzizhi is the king, and he is worried that the Zhao State will send troops to the Yan State in the name of Kuang Zheng Chaogang.

In order to appease Zhao Guo, Zizhi got the support of Zhao Jun. Send an envoy Ziyu to bring a generous gift into Zhao.

Zhao Yong took Yan Guo's national letter and read it for a long time, but he couldn't come back to his senses.

Yan envoy Ziyu arched his hand and said: "Since the succession of the first king, he has not revitalized the national strength, but has caused the national strength to decline greatly. The first king felt that his talents were shallow, and he was ashamed of his ancestors. Therefore, he followed the example of Yao Shun and ceded the throne to the virtuous ministers. ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, he exclaimed: "Yan Guo is the world with the surname Ji. King Yan is shallow and virtuous, not enough to be a king. You can give up the throne to someone from the clan surnamed Ji. His son, Prince Yan, is known as a virtuous man, and he should inherit the throne. ”

"Zhao Xiang doesn't know." Ziyu said respectfully: "Prince Ping led the army to the Qin State and marched to Hangu. Yan did not fight with Qin, and Prince Taiping privately withdrew his troops and returned to China. Caused the Yan State to lose its trust to the princes. Such behavior is a gentleman's shame. When Prince Yan returned to China, he was sent by my king to Qi as a hostage. How can Prince Yan occupy the throne. ”

The Yan State attacked Qin and withdrew its troops, which shook the morale of the coalition forces. Han, Zhao, and Wei were even more ashamed of Yan Guo's behavior.

Gongzicheng smiled and said: "Yao Shun is a great sage and a great sage, for the sake of the country, Zen to others." Instant Zen let Yu, Yu get the position to pass on to the son. After Yao Shun, he never heard of Zen Rang again. King Wu fell, Yin Shang was destroyed, and Ji Zhouxing was killed. Zhou metric system ceremony, standardize discipline. In particular, the implementation of the patriarchal system has ensured the state for hundreds of years. Yan Guo is a lineage of Ji surname, and naturally inherited the patriarchal system of Zhou State. Yan Wang Xu did not determine the successor according to the patriarchal system, but conceded to his subordinates, which seems a bit unreasonable. ”

Li Dui said: "Establish a son with a long rather than virtuous, and establish a son with a noble rather than a long." Prince Ping is the eldest son of King Yan and is the most qualified to inherit the throne. However, Yan Wang did not hesitate to violate the ancestral system, and let the world and his son be in Zen. Ambassador, can you talk about the meritocracy of the son? ”

"King Yan's actions have always been mysterious, how can I know." Ziyu replied: "King Yan gave up the throne, and my king felt that he was incompetent, so he resigned many times. However, Yan Wang Xu wanted to emulate Yao Shun and gain a good reputation. My king's repeated attempts were fruitless, so he had no choice but to accept it. When my king succeeded to the throne, he was afraid that people with ulterior motives would spread rumors and confuse the public. Therefore, a number of ambassadors were sent to the vassal states. My king ordered me to send an envoy to the kingdom of Zhao. My king's ascension to the throne was caused by the Yan King's concession, not by forcing the palace. ”

"The position of the sovereign is either the eldest son system, or the eldest grandson system, or the elder brother and younger brother. King Yan took the initiative to cede the throne to the minister, which is rare for a thousand years. It's also incredible. Fei Yi asked: "The meaning of the son, can it represent the Yan Kingdom." ”

Ziyu smiled: "Zizhi is the king of Yan Kingdom. What he meant naturally represented the Yan Kingdom. ”

"Zhao Jun, please take a look." Seeing that the ministers of Zhao State were suspicious, Ziyu took out a picture from his big sleeve and said: "In order to continue the good of Yan Zhao, my king sent these cities to Zhao State. ”

Zhao Jun said: "How can you get the city if you are outnumbered." ”

Ziyu said: "Zhao Jun, this is the sincerity expressed by my king. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just sincerity!" Tian Buli said: "King Yan doesn't want my country to interfere in the internal affairs of Yan Kingdom. ”

Ziyu said: "King Yan built an altar and warned the great gods of mountains and rivers to let my king go." It is reasonable for my king to take the throne. Ziyu asked, "Zhao Jun, will you interfere in the internal affairs of Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Ji Xu, let the country be the internal affairs of Yan State. Zhao and Yan are adjacent to each other, and what Zhao wants is peace and stability. Zhao Jun said: "The affairs of Yan Guo are decided by Yan Guo." ”

Ziyu received a clear answer from Zhao Jun, and arched his hand: "Go back to China immediately and convey Zhao Jun's meaning to my king." I wish Yan and Zhao a hundred years of friendship between the two countries. Leave. ”

After the Yan envoy left, Fei Yi asked: "Ji Hao must have a secret for me, king, do you believe what the Yan envoy said?" ”

Zhao Yong replied: "In the world of great contention, how can I give the gift of Zen." ”

Zhao Bao said: "Your Majesty, in the name of purging the Qing Dynasty and supporting justice, we will send troops to the Yan Kingdom, and the land of Yan can be obtained." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers think it is impossible." Tian Buli said: "King Yan is in the Zen position and Zizhi, and there is no sign of turmoil in Yan Kingdom. It is not a wise move for us to send troops to Yan Kingdom. ”

"Such a great opportunity, how can you miss it."

"Our country is at war with the Qin State, and if it falls into the matter of the Yan State again, the Zhao State will fall into a passive situation." Zhao Jun said: "The son is the king, and what he wants is stability." Naturally, I will not fight the idea of our country. Yan and Zhao can also live in peace. An order was sent to Zhao Gu to closely monitor the movements of Yan Guo. ”

Zhao Yong said with a smile: "If the widow does not send troops to Yan Kingdom, naturally someone will send troops." ”

Fei Yi smiled: "What the king said is the Qi country. ”

"Not bad. Yan Guo made such a big move, how could Qi Guo sit idly by. Yan Guo is destined to not be calm! Zhao Yong said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "The widow is compared with Qi Wang Tian Biqi to see whose endurance is better." ”
