Although it is said that Suiguo helped King Cheng of Chu to seize the throne of King Chu.

However, after King Chu Cheng ascended the throne, he paid tribute to Zhou Tianzi to consolidate the throne and suppress the Yiyue tribes.

On the one hand, it is also vigorously expanding its territory, and has successively destroyed small countries such as Xian, Huang, Ying, and Kui, revealing its ambitions.

Obviously, King Chu Cheng is a king who is almost in the same vein as King Wu of Chu, and he is a king who wants to dominate the state of Chu.

In this way, Suiguo, who was next door to Chu State, was naturally frightened.

Just look at the map.

The territory of Suiguo is roughly half of Xiangyang, half of Jingmen, one-third of Xiaogan, and one Suizhou.

And the territory of Chu is almost connected with Suiguo, and the location of Chu Duying is in the current Jingzhou.

If it weren't for the Han River separating Sui from Chu, Sui Guo would not have been able to resist the invasion of Chu at all.

In the face of aggressiveness, the state of Chu that wants to annex the surrounding princes surnamed Ji wantonly.

In the thirty-second year of King Cheng of Chu, Suiguo relied on the strength of the princes east of Hanshui to betray Chu.

However, this betrayal was quickly quelled by the state of Chu, and Suiguo's last struggle was unsuccessful.

After that, the state of Suiguo declined, and it could only completely surrender to the state of Chu.

Coincidentally, the state of Chu also produced three generations of outstanding monarchs in a row.

King Chu Cheng, King Chu Mu, King Chu Zhuang.

The national strength of the state of Chu, in the hands of these three Chu kings, reached the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The last King of Chuzhuang was still one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, who once watched the troops in Zhou Jiang, demonstrated in the Zhou capital, asked the weight of the Son of Heaven, and slammed the face of the Zhou royal family to the ground.

Calculate the time, when the three monarchs of Chu were in power.

It is almost Zeng Gongqiu's father, Zeng Gongqiu and Zeng Houbao, the three generations of Zeng Guojun, were in power.

Of course, the state of Chu is good for a long time.

King Chu Cheng also reigned for forty-six years, and it is possible that he survived two or even three generations of Zeng Marquis.

All in all, it should be during the period from King Cheng of Chu to King Zhuang of Chu, the State of Sui (Zeng) completely fell to the State of Chu.

Before becoming king, Suiguo would compare with Chu every once in a while.

It was not until after Chu became king that Suiguo completely surrendered to Chu and did not communicate with "China".

In the past, historians couldn't understand why Suiguo was still unruly when he was King Wu of Chu, and fought many wars with Chu, showing the bearing of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

How did he become the king of Chu, and he honestly became a little brother to Chu State.

Everyone can only generally believe that it is the power of Chu that is getting stronger and stronger, and several generations of kings are becoming more and more powerful from generation to generation, so that they can subdue the Sui State.

Now as soon as the tombs of the two generations of princes on this side of the Zaoshulin cemetery are unearthed, the inside story is clear.

It turned out that King Chu Cheng played the familiar method of marriage.

Successive generations of Zeng Marquis have married the daughter of the Chu royal family, relying on blood + prestige, which completely conquered the little brother of Suiguo from the inside out.

This kind of routine is also an old routine for King Chu Cheng.

Why was Qin and Chu able to make friends for generations, and why was King Chu Zhao able to borrow troops from Qin later?

All have to thank King Chu Cheng for his marriage Dafa.

The history of alliances and marriages between Qin and Chu can also be traced back to the era of Qin Mugong and King Cheng of Chu.

During the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, from 1056 to 1063 AD.

Fengxiang, Shaanxi today, unearthed a stone carving of the Qin Dynasty, which was engraved with ancient characters, a total of 326 words, the content is that the king of Qin sent a sorcerer, cursed the king of Chu to the great god Wu Xian, and prayed to defeat the article of the state of Chu.

This stone carving was made in the twelfth year of King Huiwen of Qin, that is, in 313 BC.

At that time, the state of Chu sent troops to attack the state of Qin, so in the text, King Qin Huiwen cursed King Huai of Chu.

In this article, there is such a sentence.

"In the past, my ancestors, Mu Gong and King Chu Cheng, were united in strength, and the two states were one, stumbling through marriage, and stumbling on the alliance. It is said that the children and grandchildren of the dragon are unfavorable. ”

This sentence means that in the past, Mu Gong, the first monarch of our Qin State, and the king of Chu State, worked together, and the relationship between the two countries was as close as a country, and they were connected into marriages, formed alliances, and swore an oath to warn their descendants not to do things that were unfavorable to each other.

And in the stone carvings, there is one more sentence.

"The curse alliance of the eighteenth generation, lead the soldiers of the princes to join me."

This sentence accused King Huai of Chu of blasphemy, betraying the cursed oath of the eighteenth generation of Qin and Chu, and leading the armies of the princes and countries to attack the Qin State.

"The Eighteenth Curse."

The "eighteenth" in this sentence is not a false reference, not like the eighteenth generation of ancestors that are often said, but it describes a lot.

The eighteenth here, there really is the eighteenth.

Since Qin Mugong, to King Qin Huiwen, except for the middle two generations who have passed away when they were princes and have not had time to succeed to the throne, it is exactly eighteen generations!

That is to say, since Qin Mugong, the monarchs and daughters-in-law of the old Qin family are all from the Chu royal family, spanning two or three hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and have been married from generation to generation!

And after that, King Qin Huiwen's son King Qin Wu ascended the throne, although the marriage between Qin and Chu was temporarily interrupted.

But when the next generation of King Qin Zhao began, the marriage between Qin and Chu was resumed.

It can even be speculated that although the wife of Qin Shi Huang has not been recorded in historical records, it is likely that she came from the Chu State.

This kind of marriage, which has lasted for hundreds of years, should not be easily changed.

And Gongzi Fusu's mother may be the royal daughter of Chu State.

It is precisely because of this that Fusu, who has the blood of the Chu State, will accept it calmly and die calmly when he gets the edict ordering him to commit suicide in Shangjun.

Moreover, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled at the end of Qin, they were under the banner of revenge for Xiang Yan and Fusu!

It is understandable to avenge Xiang Yan, he is the last anti-Qin general of Chu State, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are from Chu, so it is normal to avenge him.

But why did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang still avenge Fusu, the prince of Qin?

Product, fine taste.

Chen Han, who tasted the taste, kept shaking his head and sighing.

This King Chu Cheng is really a king who is good at marrying Dafa.

The Qin State has been married for generations, and Zeng Guo was also taken by him by marriage.

Don't forget, in the seventies before, in the tomb of King Chu You, two Zeng Ji Wuyi pots were unearthed.

King You of Chu was the king of Chu during the Warring States Period, which shows that from the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, to the Warring States Period, and even to the fall of the Sui Kingdom, Sui and Chu had marriages.

The two marriage routes formulated by King Cheng of Chu can be said to have influenced the state of Chu for hundreds of years.

Even now Chen Han is a little uncertain.

Previously, domestic scholars speculated that the Zeng State should have been completely destroyed by the annexation of the Chu State in the middle of the Warring States Period.

But King Chu You was already a king at the end of the Warring States Period, and there was still a Teng weapon of "Zeng Ji" in his tomb.

This shows that at least during the reign of King Chu You, the relationship between Chu and Zeng was still very good, and they could marry each other.

And after the death of King You of Chu, the state of Chu existed for six more years, and then died in Qin.

"I'm afraid that Zeng (Sui) Guo did not die in Chu, but in Qin."

"At the end of the Warring States Period, during the decades when Qin and Chu continued to fight wars, the Zeng State, which was sandwiched between the Qin State and the Chu State, may have been wiped out by the Qin State casually."

"Zeng Guo may have died at the hands of Bai Qi, and the battle of Yan Ying led by Bai Qi once broke through the capital Yan and the capital of Chu State, and severely damaged Chu State."

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

"It may be that in the course of the Battle of Yan Ying, Zeng Guo, which was close to the Yingdu of Chu State, was also wiped out by Bai Qi."

"The monarch of the Zeng State fled to the Chu State to seek protection."

"Later, the last princess of Zeng Guo also married King Chu You, that is, this Zeng Ji!"

The marriage, origin, and mutual influence and ending between the three kingdoms of Chu, Qin, and Zeng were sorted out more and more clearly in Chen Han's mouth.

Professor Zheng Xian, who had been quietly listening to Chen Han's reasoning, the more he listened, the more he felt that Chen Han's reasoning was very organized!

It is logical and explains a lot of historical puzzles.

This future life is indeed not bad!

Now, even Professor Zheng Xian is interested in Chen Handa.

Why was such a good seedling snatched away by Kong Jianwen!
