Luoyang, the residence of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there are many people coming in and out, all of them with joy on their faces, as if they are celebrating the New Year.

These people were the princes of the small countries connected by the Western Zhou Dynasty. The largest fief owned by these small princes is only a hundred li, and the small is more than ten li, if it is in the Qin State, they are just a pavilion chief or village chief or the like, for such small princes, they do not have political vision, no political wisdom, and it is impossible to see that the Western Zhou Duke is killing himself by himself.

They listened to what the Duke of Western Zhou said reasonably, and their hearts were pounding. What's more, the Duke of Western Zhou also promised that as long as they raised troops in response, Zhou Tianzi would seal them.

The Zhou Chamber has long been in decay, and there is only the last breath left, and the Seven Warring States have long since stopped Zhou Tianzi. However, for these small princes who can't be smaller, Zhou Tianzi still has a lot of attraction, who called them so few stages? Therefore, as soon as they heard that there was a king's order that they could be sealed, they all had the illusion of being rewarded with the seal, and they raised troops to "respect the Son of Heaven".

The Duke of Western Zhou invited these little princes to his residence, with a smile on his face, and he was very cordial, as if he had seen relatives.

"Huh!" The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty smiled before speaking, rushed to the small princes, and said: "Everyone, you can respond, you can send troops, and your loyalty to the Zhou room can be shown every day!" Thinking of Jiang Xiaobai, raising troops to respect the Son of Heaven, the world is well-known, respected as the head of the 'Five Uncles', you should not be inferior to Jiang Xiaobai, or even surpass. ”

Jiang Xiaobai is the Duke of Qi Huan, he is the descendant of Jiang Taigong, so he is naturally surnamed Jiang. Xiaobai is the name of Qi Huan.

Duke Qi Huan appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister, became the head of the five hegemons, and was the "prince of Jiuhe" all his life. One Kuang the world". He first raised troops to respect the Son of Heaven. obtained the name of benevolence and righteousness, so that Zhou Tianzi was grateful to him, and he was sealed again and again. After reaping enough political benefits, Duke Qi Huan used the banner of the Son of Heaven to conquer dissidents, and achieved great success, and the countries retreated.

Qi Huan Gong is a typical example of reaping benefits from the Zhou room. Countless people want to emulate him, and the later Mu Gong, Jin Wen Gong, and Chu Zhuang Wang, all of them are like him, first respect the Son of Heaven, send heavy gifts to the Zhou room, and then show loyalty with good words and humble words, Zhou Tianzi is grateful and constantly sealed. With the sealing of the Son of Heaven, Qin Mugong and they can act under the banner of the Son of Heaven, which is too convenient.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty said things to the Duke of Qi Huan. It is in the hands of these small princes.

You must know that the main thing that does not bird Zhou Tianzi is the Seven Warring States. Because the seven warring states have strong national strength, if they don't bird Zhou Tianzi, they won't bird Zhou Tianzi, and Zhou Tianzi can't help them. However, for these small princes, they don't have such strength, so Zhou Tianzi still has a good attraction to them. If they can get the seal of Zhou Tianzi, they can be like Qi Huan, pull up the royal flag, and act in the name of Zhou Tianzi, and they will reap a lot of benefits.

"Honoring the Son of Heaven is our due righteousness!" The little princes were very excited, and shouted loudly, everyone's eyes lit up, as if Zhou Tianzi had sealed them.

"You can have such a high righteousness, the Son of Heaven must be happy, go, let's go to meet the Son of Heaven." The Duke of the Western Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead.

A group of small princes hurriedly followed.

When they came to Zhou Tianzi's palace, the small princes couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a big palace!" What a spirit! Worthy of the Son of Heaven! ”

Zhou Tianzi's palace has long been dilapidated, and there is no money to repair it, and the difference between it and ordinary houses is only that it is big and there are many palaces. However, for the little princes who are not better than Zhou Tianzi these days, such a palace still has the courage and still shocks them.

Under the guidance of the Duke of the Western Zhou, a group of people came to the palace of King Zhou Xun.

At this time, King Zhou Yu sat on the old and dilapidated throne of the Son of Heaven, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his eyes were full of worry, he looked up to the sky, sighed, and said: "Ancestors and ancestors, where is the way out of the Great Zhou?" ”

The Zhou room has long been decayed, there is no money to ask for money, there are no people, there is no money to repair the palace, and there is no one to requisition the people, how desolate is this? Recalling King Wu of Zhou and King Cheng of Zhou, the Zhou room commanded, who dared to disobey? What a grand occasion was that? Whenever King Zhou thought about it, his face was full of sadness.

At this moment, I heard a rush of footsteps, and I saw a team of people led by the Duke of Western Zhou coming quickly.

"Duke of Western Zhou, what are you going to do? Are you going to force the palace? When King Zhou Yu saw it, he was so frightened that his soul broke out and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty is one of the two powerful ministers under the Emperor of Zhou Tianzi, and the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is side by side, he has money and people, if he wants to force the palace, the fate of the King of Zhou Xun does not need to be thought about, he will die undoubtedly, and he will not be afraid of Zhou Tianzi.

"See the Son of Heaven!" However, just when King Zhou was frightened, he saw a group of small princes saluting him, extremely respectful.

It didn't seem to be forcing the palace, King Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, was surprised, and asked tentatively: "This is ......?"

"Son of Heaven, these are the princes loyal to the Zhou family, and they have come to meet the Son of Heaven today." The Western Zhou Dynasty has a high head and a straight chest, and he is very proud.

"See me?" King Zhou's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were round, as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.

Seeing the Son of Heaven, what a long memory? As far as he knows, in the early years of the Warring States Period, after the Han, Zhao, and Wei families were divided, in order to get an official name, they had prepared a generous gift and sent people to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven.

Zhou Tianzi saw that Han Zhao Wei's gifts were rich, and his words were humble, and he was very useful, so he named the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei as princes, and the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei had an official name and officially became the three major princes.

Since then, no princes have come to see the Son of Heaven. Not only did no princes come to see the Son of Heaven, but they also staged a scene of "the countries have won the crown", and the arrogant King Wu of Qin went directly to Luoyang to move Jiuding away. If it weren't for the accident and King Qin Wu died, the Zhou family would have been wiped out by King Qin Wu.

Now, at first glance, seeing so many people coming to see him, King Zhou Yun felt very unreal, as if he was in a dream.

"Come on. Bring the gift with you. The Duke of Western Zhou waved his right hand.

Immediately a number of servants came up with gifts and put them on a large pile.

Most of these gifts were the specialties of the fiefs of the small princes, and they were worthless. For these petty princes. Their life is not necessarily better than that of Zhou Tianzi. Ask them to come up with something of value to the heavens. It's so hard for them.

However, King Zhou Xun looked at these piles of gifts, and his godless eyes were shining, and they were bright. King Zhou Yun has been the Son of Heaven for decades, and no princes have come to see him, this is the first time in his life that he has been seen by the court, it feels too wonderful, and it makes him happier than climbing a woman's belly.

"Huh!" King Zhou let out a burst of laughter. praised vigorously: "Zhuqing, you can be so loyal, this son of heaven is very happy, very happy, well, this son of heaven must reward you heavily......"

As soon as they heard this, the eyes of these little princes were hot, and they all looked at King Zhou Yu with blank eyes.

If they can be rewarded by Zhou Tianzi, these little princes will be very honored.

It's a pity that he was disappointed. King Zhou Yun's brows furrowed for a long time, and he was stunned that there was no follow-up.

It's not that King Zhou Xun doesn't want to be rewarded. He searched his stomach and intestines, but he didn't find a suitable reward. Today's Zhou Tianzi is very pitiful, his life is very bleak, not better than the life of these little princes, and it is really difficult for him to take out things to reward these little princes.

The Duke of Western Zhou knew the predicament of Zhou Tianzi, and hurriedly said: "The Son of Heaven, the princes are loyal to the Son of Heaven, and they have to ask for Qin for the Son of Heaven." ”

"What? Asking for Qin? King Zhou Xun was like a fire burning his buttocks, he jumped high, his eyes were full of shock, and he didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.

"No! Cannot! Never! King Zhou shook his hands wildly, sweating profusely in a hurry, pulled his throat, and roared hoarsely: "You are causing trouble to the Son of Heaven." Tiger Wolf Qin State, how can we fight against it? ”

Covering his ears with his hands, he said vigorously: "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything." ”

The name of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State is outside, looking at the world, who is not afraid? Which one is not afraid? It is the six major warring states in Shandong, and when it comes to the Qin State, they will be frightened and uneasy, not to mention the Zhou Chamber, which is too weak to be weaker.

This is a bit of a cover-up and stealing the bell, and the little princes can't help but be disappointed when they see it. They came with enthusiasm, but they didn't expect Zhou Tianzi to be so timid, which made them quite unbearable.

If you can't settle the king of Zhou, you won't think about leading the army to fight Qin this time, the Duke of Western Zhou is very anxious, his eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea, and said: "I want to teach the Son of Heaven to know that this time the princes brought 300,000 troops." ”

"What? Three hundred thousand? King Zhou Xun looked shocked.

The army of 300,000 is much more than Zhou Tianzi's subjects, and he can't do it if he is not shocked. Today's Zhou Tianzi can't govern Luoyang, and all he can command is just Luoyang, adding up to less than 30,000 people, and 300,000 is ten times that of his subjects.

"Also, South Korea wants to help us with 400,000." Of course, the Duke of Western Zhou can't tell the truth, otherwise, King Zhou Yu will have no confidence, and he will be frightened, so he can only exaggerate.

"Oh my God. That's 700,000. King Zhou Yu suddenly became angry, stood up suddenly, and his eyes flashed, very excited.

"Yes, this time, Da Zhou has an army of 700,000, which is enough to fight with the Qin State. If the Qin State can be defeated, the Zhou Chamber will be able to regain its command and command the world again. The Duke of the Western Zhou was busy speaking.

The Qin State is the strongest Warring States, if the Qin State can be defeated, there is no need to say the benefits to the Zhou Chamber, it will definitely make the countries bow down and obey the orders of the Zhou Chamber again, and the King of Zhou Yu will be able to take this opportunity to revive the Zhou Chamber.

King Zhou was also enthusiastic and struggled when he was young, wanting to revive the Zhou room. It's a pity that the Zhou Room is no longer the Zhou Room of the past, and his efforts eventually came to naught, which consumed his enthusiasm and his fighting spirit.

Now, his fighting spirit is burning again, but he didn't expect that with the strength of the Qin State, even if he has an army of 700,000 in hand, he can be the opponent of the Qin State?

King Zhou, who lacked political wisdom, could not have imagined this.

"Son of Heaven, the minister is willing to lead the army to fight Qin." When the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty saw that King Zhou's heart was alive, he immediately asked for his life, looking like he was going to die generously.

King Zhou Yu saw it in his eyes, admired it greatly, slapped his hands lightly, and said: "With a loyal minister like you, why can't Da Zhou worry about it?" Okay, this Son of Heaven will issue an order and order you to please Qin! (To be continued......)
