This year! Jealous of talent, Jin Zhaogong came to the end of his life. In the Jin Kingdom, due to the early transfer of power, the transition of power was smooth, and there was no civil strife.

Because Fang Jishi was in the palace of Luoyi City in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he did not get the news in time. In order to maintain stability, the Jin State did not dare to speak out excessively and did not notify in time. Furthermore! Even if he was notified, Fang Jishi would not be able to catch up for a while. With the means of transportation in the past, even if he rushed over, it would have no effect.

And more importantly! Xinjun and those "ministers who care about their lives", the cornerstone of the other party is not at ease. Not only were they not at ease, but they also deliberately avoided it, fearing that he would seize the power of the Jin Kingdom.

They all know it! With the ability of Fang Cornerstone, it is completely possible.

These people did not understand the practices of the past two generations of kings. Think that's too risky and too dangerous.

So! After they took over power, they wanted to cut ties with Fang Keystone. No one was sent to inform them. But! has been sending people to secretly monitor Fang Jishi's every move to prevent accidents.

Thus! The IQ of the next generation of kings, and the brains behind them, is very limited.

Jin Zhaogong was a very good and accomplished king. Although he has not been in office for a few years, the actions he has made are obvious to all. In the years he managed, he not only stabilized the situation, but also repaired the problems left over from his father-in-law's time. Other than that! There is also development.

During the Jin Pinggong period, he rejoiced in his achievements and blindly developed regardless of national strength. Outcome! Let the national strength plummet. Later, Jin Pinggong repented and decided to change and stop adventurous. At last! still left the problem to Jin Zhaogong.

During the reign of Zhao Gong of the Jin Dynasty, the most famous diplomatic activity was: the Pingqiu Meeting.

In 529 BC, King Chu Ling was killed, King Chu Ping ascended the throne, and the state of Chu was still repairing the wounds left by the time of King Chu Ling, and it was unable to look north.

Jin Zhaogong believed that this was the best time for the Jin State to establish its hegemonic authority again.

In order to restore the hegemony and compete with the Qi State for hegemony, the Pingqiu Conference was held to meet with representatives of more than 10 countries, including Liu Zi, Qi Hou, Song Gong, Wei Hou, Zheng Bo, Cao Bo, Ju Zi, Di Louzi, Teng Zi, Xue Bo, Qi Bo, and Xiao Yi Louzi.

Jin Zhaogong led the five kings of the six righteous (Han Xuanzi Han Qi, Zhao Jingzi Zhao Cheng, Wei Xianzi Wei Shu, Fan Xianzi Shi Ying, Zhiwen Zi Xun Song), led a total of 4,000 troops to enter the defense of the country in military vehicles, and told the princes to meet the alliance again.

The Duke of Jin Zhao sent Shu Xiang to meet King Jing of Zhou and get the support of the Son of Heaven in order to use the order of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

After King Zhou agreed, Jin Zhaogong sent Shu Xiang to meet Qi Jinggong. Shu explained to Yili to Qi Jinggong the provisions and significance of this alliance, and made it clear that Qi must participate in this alliance.

Qi Jinggong thought that the Qi State could not directly confront the Jin State, so he said: "I just want to remind your country, just talk about it." Whether or not you need to form an alliance or not, it is up to you big powers to have the final say. Now that it has been decided, how dare I, the Qi Kingdom, disobey the order? When the time comes, I will definitely respectfully participate. ”

Shu Xiang noticed the seriousness of the problem and some people were inconvenient, so he suggested that the Duke of Jin Zhao and the princes and monarchs watch the military chariots together, and inspected the troops three times in a row, and the princes were shocked.

During the reign of Jin Zhaogong, Han Qi was the secretary of state affairs, specializing in state affairs.

Jin Zhaogong is here, and the Qi State does not dare to act rashly. Jin Zhao Gong, the rise of the Qi State.

Between Jin Zhaogong and Qi Jinggong, there is a more interesting story.

When Duke Qi Jing saw that Duke Jin Ping was dead, he thought that the time had come for the rise of the Qi State. After Jin Zhaogong ascended the throne, he wanted to come and test it to see if this new monarch had the ability. On the surface, he came to congratulate Jin Zhaogong on his accession to the throne. In fact, it is to explore the truth and the false. Because! is the same "duke", the same princes and kings, there is no need to come to congratulate in person.

Outcome! Jin Zhaogong suppressed him with absolute momentum.

Famous allusion: the game of pitching pots

During the banquet, the two monarchs of Jin and Qi played a game of pitching pots, and Duke Qi Jing asked Duke Zhao of Jin to vote first.

Wu of the Jin State Bank of China wished for the Duke of Jin Zhao: "We have as much wine as the water of the Huai River, and we have meat as rich as the water highlands. ”

Jin Zhaogong voted at once, and the courtiers of the Jin Kingdom cheered.

This pitcher was originally a game, but the Jin State used it as a bargaining chip for hegemony, wanting to use it to suppress the Qi State.

Qi Jinggong took the throwing arrow, and also wished: "I have as much wine as water, and I have meat as rich as mountains, I have this arrow, and I will be strong instead of Jin Jun." After saying that, I threw it at once, and I also hit it.

Qi Jinggong was unwilling to succumb to the Jin Kingdom in the symbolic contest in this banquet.

According to the "Historical Records", after the death of Jin Zhaogong, Jin Qinggong succeeded to the throne, Liuqing was strong and the office was weak, and the state power fell into the hands of Zhao, Wei, Han, Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing.

Jin Qing Gong, surnamed Ji, the name of the disease, the son of Jin Zhaogong, reigned from 525 BC to 512 BC, during the reign of Liuqing, gradually grew stronger, and actively seized power from the office. In the twelfth year of the reign of Qing Gong, Zhao Jianzi united with the Zhi clan, Han clan, Wei clan, Fan clan, and Zhongxing clan of the Jin State to eliminate the Gong Qi clan and the Yangyu clan.

It was already a few months later to learn that Jin Zhaogong had died. Jin Zhaogong died and his son was established, and he had to report to the Son of Heaven. To establish a new monarch, you must also get an official document from the Son of Heaven and a letter of appointment stamped with a jade seal, so that the princes of the world will recognize you as a new monarch.

Nature! If you want to get the recognition of the Son of Heaven and get the official appointment letter with the jade seal, you have to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven.

Today's Zhou Tianzi relies on this kind of affairs income to support himself and a huge number of Zhou officials.

No matter how the Zhou room declined, officials at all levels still needed it. No one came to hang you, and these people's money Zhou Tianzi couldn't send it. Of course! Generally, such officials have their own ancestral industries or fiefs, and they can survive without the Zhou Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that many officials in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have voluntarily resigned. Only those who are loyal and have no way out, rely on the Eastern Zhou.

Fang Jishi learned that Jin Zhao was a pawn, and sat paralyzed for a while. He knows! His fate with the Jin Kingdom is probably broken like this.

The Duke of Jin Zhao didn't inform you, what else could he do to inform you?

It's true! Once a son of heaven and a courtier, those who were not him all stood aside.

What Fang Jishi didn't expect was that when he learned that the Duke of Jin Zhao was killed and his son was established, the queen actually sent someone to the Jin Kingdom as the former princess of the Jin Kingdom to express condolences for the death of the Duke of Jin Zhao and congratulate the new monarch on his accession to the throne.

What is the relationship between the queen and the Jin Kingdom? He hasn't figured it out yet, and he's too lazy to figure it out.

"Jealous of talent! Jealous of talents! "After the fact! Fang Jishi sighed to Lao Tzu.

"It's called nature!" Lao Tzu laughed.

"Nature?"

"It is not subject to human will to be transferred, to change, it is natural, this is called nature!"

"Not subject to human will?"

"The result of the development of anything in the world is not transferred by the will of man, do not look at the present. If you look at the present, it is the will of the human being. But! The end result! It is not subject to human will, which is called natural ......"
