Chapter 151: The Emperors of the Western Zhao Kingdom Frequently Changed The vassal kings split the Western Zhao
Let's say that at this time, Fu Yi, the emperor of the Northern Qin State, was in the newly built Changxing Palace, feasting the ministers.
In the tall and majestic palace, three thousand beauties specially selected by Tong Xian, the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, for Fu Yi are dancing. And from time to time, a minister chooses a beautiful woman and asks her to accompany him to drink.
However, there were still ministers who were clean, honest and loyal, who rejected the emperor's good intentions, and as a result, they were dragged out by the emperor Fuyi at the signal of the palace guards.
On the second day, that is, on the sixth day of the third month of the first year of the unification of the Northern Qin State, during the palace banquet the day before, several ministers who were dragged out, along with their clansmen, were put on death row.
For Fu Yi, he is now more and more tyrannical and unreasonable, and all the courtiers who oppose him are escorted to the prison by his order.
At the same time, in the palace city of Mintianfu, the capital of the Western Zhao Kingdom, Xiahou Sheng, the king of Guangyang of the Western Zhao Kingdom, who had just won the throne, was singing and dancing in the palace when he was suddenly assassinated by the woman in his arms. Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Song, the younger brother of Xiahou Sheng, the king of Guangyang, suddenly led a large army under his command to surround the palace, and the ministers who were invited to the banquet were even more grass, and all of them immediately worshiped Xiahou Song, the king of Guangning. On the same day, Xiahou Song, the king of Guangning, ascended the throne and became emperor, and changed the year name to Guanghua. However, counting Xiahou Song, the king of Guangning, in just one year, nine emperors were changed one after another, and nine era names were also changed at the same time. The people of the Western Zhao Kingdom did not know who the current emperor was? Moreover, every emperor knew that after ascending to the throne, he was arrogant and lascivious, but he never thought about the life or death of the common people.
Moreover, due to the indiscriminate feudal kings of the Western Zhao Kingdom, the feudal kings of all sizes continued to expand their armaments and endlessly squeeze the people in the fiefdom. In addition to the many people who risked their lives to flee to the North Shanyoujiang Province under the control of the Illuminati, more people had to rise up and roar through the mountains and forests.
And the Illuminati and Shanyoujiangbei Province under the control of the Guangming Army to which the soldiers of the Western Zhao Kingdom fled were a vast and fertile land. However, due to the siege of the Northern Qin State and the Western Zhao State, the local people suffered from the war, so there were fewer people and more land. After being controlled by the Illuminati, this continent became a bright place of hope for the Northern Qin, Western Zhao, and Yan Song Kingdoms. Today, the population of North Sanyougang Province has more than tripled. Yin Xiaoqi, a scholar from a poor background, was well aware of the suffering of the common people and firmly believed in the purpose of the Illuminati. During his tenure as Daoyin, he has always implemented the policy of benefiting the people of the Illuminati according to local conditions. Under his painstaking governance, Shanyoujiangbei Province has been rejuvenated.
At this moment, Xiao Qi, who was seriously handling government affairs in the official office, suddenly came in and reported: "Tell Lord Dao Yin that a scholar in the Zhaoxian Pavilion has something important to come to report." β
Hearing the official announcement, Xiao Qi was not surprised, the Zhaoxian Hall is a specially set up institution of the Illuminati, mainly to recruit talents from all over the world, and after being systematically taught by the Illuminati, they will be assigned to various places to serve as officials according to their assessment results and conduct. And many of the scholars in the Zhaoxian Pavilion will put forward a lot of opinions that are beneficial to the people, so Xiao Qi immediately went to see the scholar who had something important to discuss with him.
When he came to the living room, he saw a courteous son, and after he saw him, he said respectfully to him: "Student Gongsun Tao has met Master Daoyin. β
"Oh, please be seated. Xiao Qi did not sit on the main seat, but sat next to Gongsun Tao, and the officials brought tea.
Gongsun Tao didn't drink tea, he organized his language in his mind, and then said: "Lord Daoyin, the student is a native of Anyi Mansion in Nanjiangbei Province, Xizhao Kingdom, and now after receiving the teachings of the Illuminati, the student is willing to return to the Western Zhao Kingdom to spread the concept of the Illuminati. I came here today to inform Lord Dao Yin that the current Western Zhao State is already in decline, due to the frequent change of emperors, the chaos of national policies, the greed of officials at all levels like wolves, the increasing number of taxes, the practice of land annexation, and the misery of the people. At such a time, it is the time when my Illuminati and the Bright Army are hanging the people for the Western Zhao Kingdom, why don't I do it now?"
And Xiao Qi took a sip of tea lightly and said: "Gongsun Tao, you and I are not a few years old, in the future, we will be called brothers to each other, so we don't have to be so strange." As an elder brother, I still don't want to explain too much, you need to visit the people. Brother Wei is about to go to Anhua Prefecture for a private visit, you can go with Brother Wei!"
"Thank you brother for lifting up, the younger brother is rude. Since the elder brother wants the younger brother to go, then the younger brother must go. Gongsun Tao agreed.
As the scholars in the Recruitment Hall, in fact, they should belong to the students, and they have great respect for the young and promising Xiaoqi Daoyin. Because of this Dao Yin, he is conscientious and conscientious, with clean sleeves and a clean breeze, he is only eight buckets high, and he is rich in five cars. Today's Shanyou Jiangbei Province has achieved social order stability in a short period of time under his governance, and the people have not left no stone unturned, and they have not closed their doors at night, and the thieves and rogues who were originally full of mountains and forests have all been eliminated.
For Gongsun Tao, it is simply his honor to be able to call this Dao Yin a brother. All the scholars in their recruitment hall have read the masterpieces of Xiao Daoyin, and they are all admired by his literary brilliance. Naturally, what they admired even more was the character of this Dao Yin.
Now, since Xiao Qi, who is the elder brother, has made a request to himself, he will definitely comply.
And Xiao Qi was naturally very happy when he heard that Gongsun Tao agreed to his request, he already had expectations for those young scholars in the Recruitment Hall, after all, they would be the backbone of the Illuminati and the Bright Army in the future. Because of this, he enjoyed discussing political affairs with these young scholars, and received more advice from them. His broad-mindedness naturally avoided the mistakes he made in the implementation of his policies.
However, Xiahou Song, the new emperor of the Western Zhao Kingdom, who sat on the dragon chair and indulged in wine, was not at all worried about the increasingly powerful neighbor of the Illuminati. Now, after killing his own brother, not only did he not think about governing the government and appointing virtuous ministers, but in the voice of singing praises of virtue, he became more and more obsessed with wine, and even increased taxes again on the basis of the already harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also built a large number of buildings and ordered the construction of palaces.
And the secret killer group he used to assassinate his brother was called Hidden Killer Gate. The name of the owner of the Hidden Killing Gate is Hidden One. All the moments of the Hidden Killing Gate are all orphans collected from all over the world, and if you want to truly become a killer of the Hidden Killing Gate, you must not only go through cruel training, but also go through cruel selection. Therefore, every time the Hidden Killing Gate collects nearly 1,000 orphans to enter the Hidden Killing Gate, less than 10% of them can survive in the end. Today, the number of killers in the hidden killing gate has reached three hundred. Originally, Xiahou Song established the Hidden Killing Gate for the throne, but now that he has become the emperor, he naturally can't keep the Hidden Killing Gate! Therefore, he ordered the army to kill the Hidden Killing Gate.
As a result, what Xiahou Song didn't expect was that Yin Yi, who was the master of the Hidden Killing Gate, was injured during an assassination and was actually saved by someone in the Illuminati. As a result, this hidden one, who did not like to kill people and longed for freedom and light, began to have feelings under the influence of the ideals and purposes of the Illuminati. When he learned that Xiahou Song was going to cross the river and demolish the bridge, he immediately informed all the killers in the door, protected the 3,000 children who had just been collected and trained in the door, and constantly evaded the pursuit of the enemy.
When they were pursued by the imperial army of the Western Zhao State to the Maolin in the northeast of Yixing Mansion in Shannan Jiangbei Province, which was adjacent to Shanyoujiangbei Province, Yin Yi was already seriously wounded, and most of the three hundred elite killers under his command had already suffered casualties.
As he was dying, he lit the letter cannon given to him by the Illuminati. With the sound of a letter cannon, I saw that the imperial army of the Western Zhao Kingdom, which surrounded them, was suddenly shot to the ground by the rain of arrows falling from the sky. After seeing the Light Army that supported them appear, Hideichi finally stopped breathing with relief. And the eighty-six remaining killers of the Hidden Killing Gate all knelt down in front of the hidden one's corpse.
After the Hidden Killing Gate was rescued by the Illuminati, it soon became a hall in the Illuminati and retained its original name. However, the cruel selection of the Hidden Killing Gate has been abolished. As a result, the Hidden Killing Gate eventually became a very powerful hall of the Illuminati, with a wide range of responsibilities, mainly responsible for reconnaissance intelligence, assassinating the main leaders of the enemy army, etc., and completely became a special force.
However, at this time, Xiahou Song, who had learned that the Hidden Killing Gate had taken refuge in the Illuminati, had no chance to know the news of the Hidden Killing Gate! Because, at this time, he had been poisoned and killed by his fifteen-year-old son, Xiahou Hai, the king of Yining, who proclaimed himself emperor. And Xiahou Song, who had only served for less than eight days, died in the hands of his own son in such a suffocated manner. Less than a day after the Yining King Xiahouhai proclaimed himself emperor, he was assassinated by Hou Guang, the general who controlled the forbidden army at that time.
When the vassal kings of Western Zhao learned of the coup d'Γ©tat in the capital at this time, they raised troops to attack Mintianfu under the slogan of "Qing Jun's side". The first person to enter Mintianfu was Xiahou Rong, the king of Wutong, who was closest to Mintianfu and whose fief was in Wutong Prefecture, Jiangbei Province, Shannan. After killing the general Hou Guang, the king of Wutong, Xiahou Rong, appointed himself as the regent.
However, before he, the regent, had been in office for a day, he was beheaded by Xiahou Zhao, the king of Yongping, who followed. Moreover, Xiahou Zhao, the king of Yongping, also took the opportunity to kill Xiahou Jie, proclaimed himself emperor, and the founding year was called Guoning.
It's a pity that the vassal kings who came to the throne were really endless, and as a result, the Western Zhao Kingdom completely fell apart, the entire country was completely divided into thirty-six countries, and the Western Zhao Kingdom was declared extinct.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
