The Western Zhou Dynasty perished, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was established in 770 BC.

In 440 B.C., King Kao of Zhou carried out the last division of the Zhou Dynasty, and divided his younger brother Yu Henan to continue the official position of Duke of Zhou, known as Duke Huan of Western Zhou.

During the reign of King Zhou Xun, the Eastern and Western Zhou began to work separately.

After the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, it lost a large area of land in Longxi, and it has lost the momentum of Zhou Tianzi to guide the country back then. Clear. Yan. Han. Zhao. Wei. Qin, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

Zhou Tianzi, who existed in name only, relied on the land left by his ancestors, and his prestige was lingering. Although it has lost its authority externally, its ability to fight in the nest has not declined because of the decline of the state.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yi washed up and set off to the capital of Zhou to pay homage to Zhou Tianzi. This majestic momentum is enough to see the rapid rise of the comprehensive national strength of the Qin State today, and everyone is full of high spirits and full of confidence in the arrival of every day.

The autumn morning was a little cold, Zhang Yi thought about it all night because of yesterday's strange dream, thinking about the reason why he was going to worship Zhou Tianzi today, so he paid some attention to it, put on the clothes rewarded by King Qin, and dressed up to travel.

Zhang Yi sat in the car and thought, what to say when he saw Zhou Tianzi for a while, in fact, Zhang Yi knew better than anyone else that this Zhou Dynasty, which had flourished for hundreds of years, would be annexed by the nations sooner or later. The country is still like this, and for himself, a passer-by who is about to withdraw from the stage of history, he is somewhat of the same as the feeling of being a fallen person at the end of the world.

The coachman whistled, the carriage suddenly stopped, Zhang Yi stuck his head out of the carriage and asked:

"What's going on! Why don't you go?"

The guards who came running in front hurriedly said:

"Prime Minister Qiqi, the road ahead is blocked, and you won't be allowed to pass"

Zhang Yi smiled and teased helplessly:

"In this world, there are still people who dare to intercept my carriage and horses? You didn't tell them where we came from," In fact, Zhang Yi himself also understood that the banner of the Qin State was fluttering in the wind, and people didn't see it.

"You didn't ask who was so bold?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Who else? Zhou Tianzi's people". The guard also replied helplessly.

"Oh! It's kind of interesting, you didn't ask, because what didn't let you pass". Zhang Yi continued to ask, and at the same time as the question, he had already gotten out of the car, stood on the ground, stretched his waist and moved his muscles and bones along the way.

"The little one asked, and they said that during the war, the roads were blocked to prevent any spies from getting in." The guard hurriedly said.

"Shout! It's kind of interesting! Who did this big butt Xizhou fight with? Zhang Yi asked unhurriedly, her words full of disdain. In fact, Zhang Yi can't be blamed for this, because it is indeed Zhou Tianzi himself who is too uncompetitive, and he doesn't know how to grasp the good opportunity.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the transition stage from China's slave society to feudal society, and the widespread promotion of iron agricultural tools greatly improved labor production efficiency. The original Ida system has been strongly impacted, and the glory of the bronze civilization is about to be replaced by the Iron Age.

The sons of heaven of the Zhou Dynasty were still intoxicated with the glory of their ancestors, regardless of the general trend in front of them, indifferent, and continued to abide by the well-field system and the sub-feudal system, which were products that did not conform to the times.

"Dong Zhou!" The guard replied.

Zhang Yi laughed, thinking, 'When is this, Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, I don't know how many days I can live, others haven't called yet, but I will fight first'. Thinking so in his heart, he thought about it, "Forget it, let's go and have a look, anyway, I have already left the Qin State, maybe, this is the last time I will come to Luoyang, go and see, maybe I can help something."

"Let's go! Let's take a look, what does Zhou Tianzi want to do this time", Zhang Yi said, striding forward to Zhou Tianzi's palace.

The soldiers of the Western Zhou Dynasty who blocked the road, when they saw Zhang Yi coming, saw Eguan Bo with an extraordinary bearing, and knew that he must be the leader of this line. The leader here came out to question;

"Who's coming? What's your business? ”

"Next, Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the Qin State, is here to congratulate Zhou Tianzi, please report it quickly, otherwise you can't afford to miss a big event."

At a glance, the leader saw that the person who came was Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi's popularity was definitely a celebrity in that era, and it was not an exaggeration for women and children to know it.

I heard that he came to congratulate him, as the saying goes, 'those who are officials don't give gifts' Since they are here to congratulate them, it is naturally impossible to be empty-handed, and besides, it is the prime minister of the Qin State, where do you dare to stop it, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"The little one has eyes but no beads, I don't know if Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has arrived, so I'll go in and report."

The leader here pedaled inside, and after a short time, he ran out of it, followed by several maids, a carriage, came to Zhang Yi and said:

"Prime Minister Zhang! The Son of Heaven has please" Fang Cai's arrogant tone, disappeared without a trace at once, and his humble posture was like a pug, Zhang Yi knew in his heart that these were all wasted people who had been emasculated by power, and he was actually no different from him. Naturally, there is no reason to ridicule others.

"Thank you for the envoy around", Zhang Yi bowed and saluted, originally there was no need for this, but Zhang Yi felt that no matter what people said, they were also Zhou Tianzi's doorman, the prime minister's seven-grade official, not to mention that he was working for Zhou Tianzi.

"Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, please", the leader of the maids next to him, gentle and lovely, bent down to give a salute. Zhang Yi returned the salute naturally, the maid led Zhang Yi on the carriage, Zhang Yi saw that this carriage was amazing, it was the Son of Heaven chariot, that is, the kind of high-end carriage that King Zhou Mu drove to beat the dogs, in that era, it was the special car of the Son of Heaven, which was originally pulled by four thousand-mile horses.

It's just that now Zhang Yi looks at the four horses, skinny, old, and unbearable, and it is very laborious to walk, let alone pull the cart, Zhang Yi thought to herself, this kind of horse has long been eliminated in the Qin State, but now it is still pulling the cart for Zhou Tianzi.

Zhang Yi watched along the way, only to see that the original well fields were either deserted or abandoned, and had lost the heroic momentum of 'the whole world is not the king', and was replaced by the desolation in front of him.

In recent years, more and more battles have been fought, and the scale has become larger and larger, and only the nobles have the right to participate in the war, because of the rapid promotion of iron weapons, and the gradual civilianization, secularization, and reform of various countries, a large number of slaves have been released, and these slaves have quickly joined the armies of various countries, making the source of soldiers not only wide, but also many.

The original chariots were also gradually phased out, and a large number of infantry poured into the front line of the war.

Most of the people under the rule of Zhou Tianzi live a comfortable life, as if there is an invisible force that isolates this place from the outside, no matter how upside down the outside is, it is still as calm as water. Because of the autumn harvest, the slaves were working on the few public fields, and Zhang Yi couldn't stop looking out, and there happened to be a team of slaves who had just returned from the harvest passing by.

When they saw the carriage of the Son of Heaven, they couldn't help but wonder, 'This week, the Son of Heaven has not been seen for many years, why did he come to the farmland today', and the slaves quickly knelt on both sides of the road.

Zhang Yi has traveled around the world for many years, and although there are some slaves in other countries, there are some slaves, but the Qin State is completely gone, so naturally he is very uncomfortable with the kneeling of these slaves, so he quickly got out of the car and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please get up, I'm not Zhou Tianzi, I'm Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin," everyone saw that they didn't get up, and the old slave led by him hurriedly said:

"Zhang Zi, I came from afar, I can see you today, and I am fortunate to have three lives"

Zhang Yi saw that the old man opposite knew him, and hurriedly asked:

"Uncle, how do you recognize me Zhang Yi."

"The four seas are together, the enemy is in one mouth, who doesn't know Zhang Yi?" The old slave said as he spoke, and the old slaves next to him followed suit, constantly echoing.

Zhang Yi only cared about letting them get up, and after everyone got up, Zhang Yi found that all the slaves were dying and old, just like the horses before, Zhang Yi had never seen a young man, Zhang Yi asked puzzledly:

"Old man, why haven't you seen your children? You're old, and you're still out farming. ”

"Hey! Not to mention, the young children, who saw the traveling scholars passing by here, and listened to the passing merchants describe the world of flowers outside, could not hold back one by one, and had already traveled around the world with them, leaving only those of us who could not walk, and kept farming at home. The old slave at the head said.

"Old man, I'm old, otherwise I would have gone out with the descendants to see" The old man may have been suffering from asthma, and it was very difficult to speak.

When the old slaves heard him say this, they couldn't stop nodding their heads in agreement.

Zhang Yi looked at the people in front of him, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, life is like a white horse passing through a gap, and if he is not careful, he is already dying.

Even though I, Zhang Yi, am famous all over the world, I have no regrets in this life.

"Come on, give these old people, each of them some belongings, it's about to be winter, so that they can buy some warm clothes" Zhang Yi instructed his subordinates, and his subordinates naturally hurried to do it.

The old slaves hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, and did not forget the words of praise in their mouths.

"Thank you, Zhangzi. Thank you Zhangzi! Thank you Zhangzi".

"Everyone, get up! I, Zhang Yi, am also from a poor background, so don't kneel on me anymore," looking at the drooping old man trembling in the autumn wind, Zhang Yi's heart was infinitely sad.

If they hadn't instigated the conquest of the nations, how could these young descendants leave their parents and land, and for the sake of the so-called fame and wealth, they would not hesitate to run to other places and bury their young lives.

Zhang Yi was about to say something, but he saw a team of warriors coming in front of him, who came to Zhang Yi and said:

"Zhangzi, the Son of Heaven is invited."

Zhang Yi thought that Zhou Tianzi must have been in a hurry, so he sent someone to urge, hurriedly got into the carriage, and waved goodbye to the old slaves one by one.
