readx;? The state of Chu did not get the treasures, nor the army, and from then on, the state of Chu, which was originally actively moving closer to the Zhou Dynasty, was not even qualified to stand on the main hall with the princes on the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou's return to the throne, and was willing to set up tents outside the hall like the barbarian tribes to participate in the meeting, and actively helped the Chu State of King Zhou Kang to ascend the throne, and gradually distanced itself from the Zhou Dynasty.

King Kang of Zhou went south to hunt and reached as far as Lushan (in present-day Jiujiang).

year, the seventeenth year of King Zhou Kang, the fifty-first year of the reign of Luhou's fowl father, Xu. (The eldest son of the Duke of Zhou, Bo Yu, was sealed in the homeland of the State of Xiang, and the title of "Lu" was established in the early fief of the Duke of Zhou, with the capital of Qufu and the territory south of Mount Tai, now the western part of Shandong.) The bird is the father of the bird. )

Bo Yu had four sons: the eldest son Ji Chief, the second son Ji Xi, the third son Ziyan, and the fourth son Yanling.

According to the provisions of Zhou Li, the position of Lu Hou was inherited by the eldest son Ji Chief, which was for the examination of the public.

year, the twenty-first year of King Kang of Zhou, four years after the reign of Duke Lu Kao, Xu. So the position of Lu Hou was inherited by Ji Xi, the younger brother of Chief Ji, which did not violate the Zhou rites, because Lu Kao Gong had no children.

Ji Xi, nicknamed Lu Yanggong, began to recruit talent, in stark contrast to Bo Yu's conservatism and refusal to accept locals, but in line with Zhou Gongdan's purpose of trying to remind Bo Yu not to be proud. Lu Yang Gong built the Maoque Gate and recruited wise men to turn the people into courtesy.

year, the twenty-fourth year of King Kang of Zhou, Zhao Gong Zheng (Zhao Kang Gong) Xu.

The exploits of Zhao Gongzao, the patriarch of the Four Dynasties (Wen, Wu, Cheng, and Kang), can be compared with that of Zhou Gong, but there are very few descriptions in history, which cannot but be said to be a pity.

During the reign of King Zhou Kang, he also had good military achievements, successively pacifying the Great Rebellion in the East, conquering the land in the north, and attacking the ghost side in the west. The inscription of "Xiao Yu Ding" records that the ghost side was conscripted, and many were captured, and tens of thousands of prisoners were taken alone.

Located in the northwest of present-day Shaanxi, the northern part of Shanxi and the western part of Inner Mongolia, Guifang was one of the nomadic tribes in northern China in ancient times, and was an external threat during the Shang Dynasty. The ghost side was conquered by the Shang king Wuding, and moved to a distant land, moving to South Siberia from Lake Baikal in the east to Lake Balkhash in the west. By the end of the Shang Dynasty at the latest, at the turn of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the ghost side once again entered northern China and entered the Central Plains.

After King Wu conquered Shang, the ghosts who were originally ruled by the Shang Dynasty were subordinate to Zhou. King Wu of Zhou banished him to the north of Jing and Luo (present-day Jing River and Luo River in Shaanxi) and ordered him to pay tribute on time.

As the Zhou army suppressed the rebellion of the Three Prisons and attacked Huaiyi in the east and relaxed its control over the northwest, the Guifang tribe took the opportunity to set out from the west of Qizhou (now Qishan, Shaanxi) and Huanlong (now Ganyang and Longxian, Shaanxi), and often invaded the northwest border of the Western Zhou Dynasty, threatening the security of the Zhou capital Haojing.

In order to dismantle the threat of the ghost side to the Zhou, the Zhou dynasty adopted the means of Huai Rou, allowing the ghost side people to move to the Central Plains and live the aristocratic life they longed for, so as to divide the ghost side. King Cheng of Zhou gave the first feud of the Jin State Tang Shuyu Zhihuai surname Jiuzong, the historian generally believes that it is the surname of the ghost Fang, to the eastward migration of King Zhou Ping, it has been the same column and the same dynasty as the princes of the other Zhou Dynasty, and gradually integrated with the Huaxia people.

Despite this, during the reign of King Kang of Zhou after becoming king, the ghost side began to grow again after recuperation, posing a threat to Zhou.

In the twenty-fifth year of King Zhou Kang, in order to eliminate border troubles, King Zhou Kang ordered Yu to lead a large army to attack the ghost side. The ghost side also mobilized troops to meet the battle. After two large-scale battles, the Zhou army killed more than 4,800 ghost parties, captured more than 13,000 people under its four leaders, and also captured many chariots and horses and a large number of cattle and sheep. The Zhou army expelled the ghost side to the west of Huanlong and Qi Zhou, far from Haojing, so that the northwestern frontier of Zhou was stabilized for a long time.

In September, the twenty-sixth year of King Zhou Kang, King Zhou Kang died in Haojing, nicknamed King Kang, and was buried in Bi (Xianyang, Shaanxi). After his death, his son Ji Fang inherited the throne as King Zhao of Zhou.

King Zhao of Zhou, reigned in years.

King Zhao of Zhou, surnamed Ji, flawed by name. Ji Fang is more often used as a king in the unearthed bronze inscriptions.

In the first month of the year, King Zhao of Zhou inherited the throne of the Western Zhou Dynasty and was the fourth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Reinstate the Elephant Wei who has suspended the fatwa. Since the year, King Cheng of Zhou demolished Xiang Wei for 43 years, and set up Xiang Wei again, symbolizing the end of Chengkang's rule.

In this year, Dongyi rebelled, and King Zhao ordered Bai Mao's father to lead his division to crusade, but the division and tribe refused to go east. When Father Mao learned of this, he fined the division 300 ancient coins. According to the law, the whole army must be informed of this matter, and Bai Mao's father only ordered it to be announced in the division, brigade, and army. The division and brigade engraved this punishment on Ding Yi.

In the same year, the Chaohou rebelled, and King Zhao of Zhou ordered the Eastern Official to lead the sect to level the six divisions.

Since the disbandment of the Yin Eighth Division and the possession of the princes, the Western (Zongzhou) Sixth Division and the Chengzhou Eighth Division have become the main armed forces. Although Luoyi was the capital, the monarchs of the Western Zhou Dynasty still valued Zong Zhou more, so the six divisions of the Western (Zong Zhou) became the most valued force of the monarchs of the Zhou Dynasty, while the eight divisions of the Cheng Zhou Dynasty were mainly controlled by the Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong who controlled Luoyi.

year, the sixth year of King Zhou Zhao, King Xi Xun of Zhou Zhao died.

After the reign of Chengkang, the first time in China that was seen in the annals of history, the Western Zhou Dynasty should usher in a prosperous era, but at this time, the rulers of the Western Zhou Dynasty were "slightly lacking in the royal road".

On the eighth day of the fourth month of the fourteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou, an abnormal natural phenomenon suddenly appeared in Hojing, and the water in the river, well, spring, and pond rose at the same time, and the water in the well overflowed out of the well, and then the palace and the houses shook the mountains and rivers. At night, there are five colors of phosgene entering the constellation of the Purple Emblem, all over the four directions, all blue-red, and the sky is not even able to see the twenty-eight nights. The ancients believed that the celestial phenomena and the human world were the inside and outside, and the lack of royal roads led to the occurrence of visions.

If the so-called celestial phenomena are just superstition and ignorance of the ancients, then the attitude of King Zhou Zhao in dealing with state affairs is undoubtedly "the slight lack of royal road".

In July, a coup d'état occurred in the state of Lu, and Ji Fei, the younger brother of the Marquis of Lu, killed his brother Ji Zai, the Duke of Lu You, seized the throne, and proclaimed himself the Duke of Wei. Such a great rebellion, King Zhao of Zhou actually let it go, neither sent troops to levy, nor raised teachers to ask for guilt, resulting in the phenomenon of bullying the weak in the world has occurred repeatedly, and the dynasty has deviated.

After King Zhao of Zhou succeeded to the throne, he wanted to inherit the Chengkang cause and continue to expand the territory of Zhou.

In the sixteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou, King Zhao of Zhou led his army to carry out military deterrence against the countries of Dongyi (now Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui).

In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, these Fangguo tribes rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty. After the Zhou Gong's eastward expedition, the Zhou power reached the present-day Shandong region, and the Huaiyi tribes led by Xu were still stubborn.

In this year, the Fangguo tribe led by Chu Man invaded the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and King Zhao of Zhou gathered a large army to conquer Chu Jing in the south. In order to stabilize the rear, the troops first marched to the east.
