In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, whether it was the princes or the doctors, the ancestors were not simple, at least after the emperor.

What are the descendants of Yan and Huang?

What are Chinese descendants?

And this is!

"Fan Zi and Zhongxingzi, it's really not a secret, the intention of the widow is to invite Zhou Tianzi to set up the second secretary of Ru, rank among the princes, and use the fief as the feudal country!"

Qingji finally said his purpose.

As soon as they heard this, Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin couldn't help but glance at each other, and then their eyes lit up, and they asked with an excited look: "Wu Hou, seriously?" ”

"You don't joke."

Qingji said with a smile.

Ranked among the princes, this can be said to be the greatest pursuit of Shi Ji and Zhong Xingyin in this life.

The princes and the Shangqing, don't look at the gap between the two, it is only one step away, but it is like a moat, an insurmountable step!

】

The Qimu of Zheng State, the Liuqing of Jin State, the Sanhuan of Lu State, etc., are all nobles who have been prominent for generations, share relatives with the country, and even lean towards the government and the opposition.

There are also Cui Zhu of the Qi State in the past, Zhao Dun and others of the Jin State, all of whom are extremely powerful ministers, holding great power, not to mention life and death, and even the life of the monarch is held in their hands.

But, that's it, none of them dared to depose the monarch and usurp the throne and stand on their own.

Why?

Because in this way, they will be attacked by the domestic ministers and foreign princes, and then under the internal and external difficulties, it is inevitable that the congregation will betray their relatives and end up in hatred......

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the etiquette has collapsed, the most basic etiquette must still be observed.

If a courtier kills a king and usurps the throne, or openly establishes a country and establishes himself as a king, it will not be recognized by the Zhou royal family and the princes of the world.

Even the powerful ministers who are from the same line as the ancestor and the monarch do not dare to do this.

"If the Marquis of Wu can make the princes below, the Fan family will become the Fan State, and the next will definitely go to Wu, from generation to generation, and pay tribute to the Wu State!"

Shi Ji immediately looked at Qingji gratefully.

"It's the same with the Bank of China!"

Zhong Xingyin followed and reassured.

"Good."

This is exactly one of the major goals that Qingji wants to achieve.

How to dismember the behemoth of the Jin Kingdom?

This is not an easy task.

Jin State, founded in 1033 B.C., at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty was named a marquis by Zhou Tianzi, Ji surname Jin, the first monarch Tang Shuyu was the son of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu, and the younger brother of King Ji Yu of Zhou Cheng.

The country name was originally Tang, and after Tang Shuyu's son Xie ascended the throne, it was changed to Jin.

During the period of Jin Xiangong, the Jin State rose, "annexed the country seventeen, served the country thirty-eight", and the Duke of Wen of Jin succeeded to the throne and defeated the Chu State in the Battle of Chengpu, and dominated the first battle.

During the Xianggong period of Jin, he successively defeated the Qin State in the Battle of Kun and the Battle of Peng Ya, and succeeded his father as the overlord of the Central Plains.

During the reign of Jin Jinggong, the Jin State was defeated by its old rival Chu State in the Battle of Yi, and turned to the north, and after defeating the Qi State in the Battle of Qi, he attacked the Chu State itself in the Battle of Jin and Cai to attack Chu Poshen.

After succeeding to the throne, Duke Li of Jin defeated Qin and Di in succession, and defeated Chu again in the Battle of Yanling, regaining hegemony in the world.

When the Jin Dynasty mourned the prince, the country was at its peak, the military ruled all times, dominated the Central Plains, and reached the peak of the Jin hegemony......

The Jin Kingdom, which has dominated for more than a hundred years, is not ordinarily strong.

This time, the princes of the world attacked the Jin, even if they really defeated the main force of the Jin army and smashed the capital of the Jin State, they might not be able to really destroy the Jin State.

After all, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff.

Now that the princes divide the land and Jin, can they really carve up the Jin Kingdom?

Otherwise.

The question of how to divide the interests of the major vassal states is a difficult one.

Qingji knew that even if the alliance of the princes destroyed the Jin State for a while, the Jin people would still make a comeback.

Therefore, Qingji must prepare in advance.

Asking Zhou Tianzi to canonize Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin as princes will certainly have a bad impact and intensify the struggle between the monarchs and ministers of various countries, but for all this, Qingji is still happy to hear about it.

What are the three views?

What is the moral bottom line?

The celebration must be refreshed again and again!

If Shi Ji and Zhong Xingyin are among the princes, how can the rest of Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei Siqing not be blushing?

Then, Qingji only needs to ask Zhou Tianzi to canonize the rest of the four secretaries of the Jin State as princes and divide their territory, then the Jin State exists in name only, and the huge territory of the Jin State is divided into six parts, which is already a fait accompli!

With the collapse of the old hegemonic power Jin State, Wu State will inevitably take its place.

Such a result is much better than Qingji's direct acceptance of the fiefs of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family.

After all, Erqing's fiefdom is an existence of "chicken ribs" in Qingji's view.

It's a pity to discard it.

From beginning to end, Qingji has not forgotten his ultimate goal.

"Fanzi, Zhongxingzi."

At this moment, the imperial historian Fan Li slowly stood up, and Yun Yufeng smiled lightly: "My king is so benevolent and righteous, let the two of them be recognized by Zhou Tianzi and rank among the princes, I don't know how the two of you should repay my king?" How to repay Wu Guo? ”

There are some words, some things, as the king of a country, it is inconvenient for Qingji to come forward, so Fan Li and Bo Biao, who are sitting on the side, will "speak up......

"This ......"

Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin couldn't help but look at each other.

It's just that he surrendered to the state of Wu and paid tribute to the state of Wu, isn't Qingji still satisfied?

Also!

Qingji is an ambitious person who wants tangible benefits!

However, with the strong national strength of Wu today, what is still missing?

What does Kyungji want?

After Shi Jishu pondered for a while, Chaozhong Qingji bowed down and said: "King, if you can make my Fan clan among the princes, Fan Guo should cede the land to Wu, please accept it with a smile." ”

"It's the same with the Bank of China!"

Shi Jichu and Zhong Xingyin are both human spirits, and after weighing the pros and cons, it takes great perseverance to make such a choice.

Mowing the land?

Does Wu lack cities and land?

It seems that Shi Ji and Zhong Xingyin still don't quite understand!

Qingji chuckled and said, "Fanzi, Zhongxingzi, thank you for your kindness." However, Ru Erqing's fiefdom is mostly in the northeast of Jin, not in the south of Jin, and the widow does not want to enclave......"

"I heard that the fiefdoms of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan are rich in war horses, I wonder if you can bear to cut your love?"

Hearing this, Shi Jishu immediately lowered his head and said: "As a return gift, after the matter is completed, the Fan family should give back a thousand horses to Wu Guoliang!" ”

"It's the same with the Bank of China!"

Zhong Xingyin followed.

"This ...... Is it a little less? ”

Before Qingji could speak, Uncle Cheng, who was sitting on the side, squinted his eyes and said.

"Fifteen hundred, fifteen hundred good horses at most."

Shi Ji sighed and said, "Great King, this is already my Fan family's background. If the king wants more good horses, he can only go to the land of Yan or the land of Xianyu to get them. ”

"The Zhongxing clan is also willing to sacrifice 1,500 good horses to the king, please accept the king's smile!"

Zhong Xingyin gritted his teeth and followed the words.

Erqing dedicated a total of 3,000 war horses to Wu State, which is a rare wealth, how can Qingji not be satisfied?
