The sudden appearance of Wu and Yue was fatal to Xu, and their plan to flee with the main army fell through, and they had to start a bloody battle with the coalition forces.

The final result is naturally no miracle, the strength of the two sides is no longer above the same order of magnitude, of course, the princes' army has paid huge casualties, so that all the princes' hearts are dripping blood, but almost none of the soldiers brought by King Xu can escape.

Although he failed to kill Xu Guo like King Huaiyi in the end, Xu Guo, whose strength was greatly damaged, may not have a good life in the next face of Chen, Song, and Wu.

With the end of the battle of Song and Xu, as if a signal, good news came one after another.

The allied forces of the Jin State and the Wei Kingdom broke the Di people in Lidi, causing the Di people to migrate north.

The defeat of the Lai Yi State by the Qi State made the Lai Yi State continue to migrate eastward, greatly expanding the territory.

This war, which did not last long, but was extremely intense, made all the Xia nations unforgettable.

Yidi's power is still so strong!

The Zhuxia kingdoms were even almost overthrown, and even if the war was finally won, many princes were still apprehensive.

Just when the princes were cleaning up the pieces.

In Luoyi, Luo Cheng, in the name of the Son of Heaven, sent a message to the princes of the world to hold an alliance in Luoyi, arrange the order after the war, and prevent these Yidi from making a comeback.

The princes of the world responded en masse, and almost as soon as the edict was issued, the vast majority of the princes immediately got up and went to Luoyi.

Ji Zhao was even more busy harvesting countless luck points.

[Your descendant Luo Cheng surpassed the limit and successfully organized the great counterattack of Zhuxia, your family's status in history has increased again, and your family's prestige has increased again.

You have gained Luck Points. 】

Although Luo Cheng was not the one who personally commanded the battle, he did not give him props, but how many luck points were given?

The luck points that Ji Zhao had spent on the ancestral blessings that he had exerted on the children of the family over the years were all recovered.

……

The mission of the State of Chu was the most grand, and the specifications were also extremely high.

On behalf of the king of Chu, the crown prince of Chu came to congratulate the new son of heaven, demonstrating the friendship of the Zhou-Chu alliance.

Yi Xuan, the eldest princess of Chu who had already made a marriage with Ji Fu, the Son of Heaven, was also in the mission and came to marry Ji Fu.

As a large country on the Han River, the family sending team of Chu is naturally quite large.

The 1,000 armored soldiers escorting the mission were the most elite soldiers in the Chu State, and with this armored army alone, if it was equipped with chariots and 5,000 auxiliaries, those small countries that were only fifty miles away would be completely unable to resist.

One of the meanings of the Chu State sending this elite army is to show off its strength to the princes of the Central Plains.

According to the arrangement of the king of Chu, among this strong army, 200 people will be drawn as Yixuan's dowry, and she will stay in Wangji with her.

These two hundred people are not just two hundred, but one by one nobles, and these nobles will be stationed in Luoyi with Yixuan.

If Ji Fu has the ability, he can borrow this power, which is the benefit that a strong wife clan can bring.

Although Luo Yan was a native of Luo, he was already a Chu minister, so he followed the delegation of Chu and returned to Luoyi, and also brought his fiancée Yiguang.

The fiancée always wants to see her father, and there is also an alliance between the Luo State and the Chu State, and he entered the Chu State and got the fiefdom given by the King of Chu, and I don't know if this is a separation.

Xiong Dan, the prince of Chu, Luo Yan, Princess Yixuan, and Princess Yiguang were four people in parallel.

Looking at the city in front of him, which was far taller than Yingdu, Xiong Dan asked with some shock: "Luo Qing, this Luoyi is so tall, how did King Su build it back then?" ”

"Prince, Luoyi lives between Yiluo, this is a paradise given by God to the Zhou people, with the blessing of God, a city even taller than this can be built."

Luo Yan's words are full of pride, the history of Luo's family, Luo's ancestors, worthy of every child's pride.

If it weren't for the identity of the prince of Luoguo, even if the king of Chu admired him, how could he give his favorite princess?

The two princesses Yixuan and Yiguang were a little curious, this was the first time that the two of them had left the Chu Kingdom, especially Princess Yixuan, she knew that this was the place where she would live for the rest of her life.

Now she is still very satisfied.

Ji Fu met with the prince of Chu and others in the palace.

This is the first time Yi Xuan has seen her future husband, not to mention Ji Fu's natural ability, no one can find fault with her appearance.

So Yi Xuan was very satisfied, and there was even a slight blush on his pretty face.

"The widow listened to Luo Gong tell the story of the ancestors of the Chu State to enlighten the mountains and forests, what a great achievement?

All the princes should learn from the state of Chu.

When the state of Chu returned to the ranks of Zhuxia, when the widow collapsed and met King Su, he also had something to say. ”

Although Ji Fu is a person who is not proficient in martial arts, he has a temperament that can make people can't help but feel good.

What he said made people feel very sincere, and Xiong Dan was now full of good feelings for his future brother-in-law.

"Your Majesty, the State of Chu will always be on your side and be your loyal courtier."

On such an occasion, Xiong Dan made a statement to the world, and his words represented the political commitment of the state of Chu.

When he leaves here, it will soon spread throughout the countries, and the royal family has the strong reinforcement of the Chu State, and it is already capable of turning between the great powers of the Central Plains.

……

With the arrival of the princes of the nations, the city fell into unprecedented prosperity.

The princes brought their guards with them, and most of these people were nobles and had enough money to spend.

In addition to being a tribute to the Son of Heaven, the alliance was also a showcase for goods, and usually the princes would bring a large number of local specialties.

With so many princes gathered together, there had not been such a grand event for many years since the time of the Wasteland.

Especially the appearance of the three princes of Chu, Wu Bo, and Yue Bo, made all the princes feel that the sky has really changed.

These three vassal states, all of whom have not been in heaven for a hundred years, have now appeared in Wangji.

They don't know Wu Yue's strength, but the Chu State is a big country in Hanyang, and it is not much better than the Jin State.

Now it is still married to the royal family, some time ago, the prince of Chu and the Son of Heaven made an oath to fully help the royal family, plus the assistance of the Jin State, the Luo State, the Qi State, and the Zheng State, it is not impossible to return to the capital of Ho.

Xiong Dan discovered the biggest disadvantage of the Chu State not going to Zhou for a hundred years, that is, these Central Plains princes basically didn't know each other.

The princes married each other and formed a complex network of relationships, but the state of Chu was outside this system.

Even if the royal family marries with the state of Chu, the state of Chu will still be ostracized by them.

Because these princes of the Central Plains are all related to each other, the state of Chu is really an outsider to them.

The king of Chu was an outstanding monarch, and he was keenly aware of this, so he wanted to keep Luo Yan in the state of Chu and marry his favorite daughter to him.

Now it is reflected, Luo Yan's mother is Luo Jiang, the daughter of Qi State, and Qi State and Luo Guo are representatives of the surname Ji and the surname Jiang.

I'm afraid I can't tell how big the in-law relationship network of these two countries is, anyway, almost all the princes present can speak.

As Luo Yan invited the princes one by one, and almost every one of them was able to climb up to his relatives, Xiong Dan was about to become numb.

He deeply felt the key position of the Luo family in the Central Plains, and if the Chu State wanted to enter the Central Plains, the marriage with the royal family was not the most critical, but the marriage with the Luo family was the most important place.

The best thing is that Luo Yan is the first prince of Luo to become a minister in another country, which is a golden sign for Chu State.

No one can know better who is a barbarian and who is Zhuxia than Queen Su.

Under Luo Yan's introduction, the prince of Chu finally gradually integrated into the circle of the princes of the Central Plains on the surface, but in his heart the princes of the Central Plains still had a fear of the prince of Chu.

This is a very normal behavior, where can the strangeness of more than 100 years be eliminated in a short period of time?

At least it is much better than the Yue Kingdom, the Wu State is a prince surnamed Ji, and it is a country formed by the descendants of the royal family back then.

The exiled princely state of Yue is miserable, his biggest ancestor is the country surnamed Qi, but although the country of Qi is a principality, it is weak, and the entire princes of the surname have no sense of existence in the system of the Zhuxia countries.

Don't say that it is compared with the surname Jiang, that is, compared with the surname Zi, the surname of the concubine, and even the surname Ying, which was far inferior to them at the beginning, it is far inferior.

……

As the bell rang in the city, the princes began to walk to the palace according to their titles and positions in the royal family.

This is a big change from more than 200 years ago, which was almost completely based on bloodline, and it cannot be said that bloodline is not important, but the title is more important than bloodline, which is already the consensus of this era.

In the Luoyi Palace, Luo Cheng is sorting out the crown of the Son of Heaven for Ji Yi, this scene is a bit like Ji Zhao sorting out the robe for Ji Yun more than two hundred years ago.

"Son of Heaven, do you know that there are three kinds of kings?"

"There are three kinds of kings?" Ji Fu shook his head suspiciously: "I don't know, please ask Luo Gong to solve your doubts." ”

This is what King Su said.

The king took the road of grandeur and righteousness, he used ideals to unite the hearts of his courtiers, and used virtue to regulate his country, so that even if he collapsed, the courtiers would faithfully assist his heirs.

The king of the middle is taking the road of domineering and oppression, such a monarch thinks that there is no need to trust his courtiers, as long as he presses hard, everything will act according to his will, which is not wrong, but this type of monarch usually kills those courtiers who have made meritorious contributions, because he himself understands that there is no trust between monarchs and ministers.

The king, believing in intrigue and intrigues, enshrined power as the truth, and played with balance without regard for the development of the country, the country ruled by such a monarch could not be strong, like a pool of stagnant water, gradually rotting and stinking, and finally the edifice collapsed and fell to the ground.

As for the monarch who is worse than the king, he is no longer worthy of being called a monarch. ”

When Ji Fu heard this theory for the first time, his little eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't help but ask: "Luo Gong, if the widow wants to become the king, what should he do?" ”

Luo Cheng smoothed a fold and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister will teach you slowly, starting with the "Royal Road" written by King Su.

The princes have arrived, the king, the princes' alliance is the royal road, this is the first step in the revitalization of Bangzhou, you have to take a good look today. ”

Of course, the real king should be the main king, supplemented by domineering, and then supplemented by courtiers.

But Ji Fu's talent is not enough to learn domineering and treacherous, he is benevolent by nature, and he is only suitable for taking the road of kingship, after all, the hearts of the people in this era are still relatively simple, and there are many loyal ministers and righteous people.

"The king has arrived!" Luo Cheng and Ji Fu came together.

All the princes returned to their places, their backs straightened, kneeling, bowing their heads, and tiding their hands, and the hall, which had been noisy before, fell silent for a very short time.

A procession of palace ladies passed by, and all the princes were replaced with wine lords, and the musicians began to play the music and dance of the Son of Heaven, and the grand sound resounded in the hall.

The princes were limited by the Zhou rites, and many musical instruments could not be used, and many pieces of music in the entire Bang Zhou could only be played in their entirety by the Son of Heaven.

"Princesses.

Since King Su's Eastern Crusade, Bangzhou has never experienced such a large-scale war, from the west of Hojing, to the coast of the East China Sea, from the north of Yanshan to the south of the Great River, the vast land of Bangzhou is full of wars.

The Jin and Wei kingdoms defeated the Di people, the Yan kingdom defeated the Shanhu state, the Qi state defeated the Laiyi state, the Song Chen Wu Yueshen followed the Tang to strangle the Xu state, and the Luo state and the Chu state defeated the powerful Huaiyi in the Ying state Xu state.

What a glorious victory, the kingdom of Zhuxia is still blessed by heaven, and our children and grandchildren will not have to worry about the invasion of these border barbarians for fifty years. ”

Luo Cheng excitedly raised the wine lord and said loudly: "He! ”

All the princes raised their wines in high and said in unison: "Congratulations! ”

After three shouts, Luo Cheng said again: "As long as we are gathered under the throne of the Son of Heaven, abide by the Zhou etiquette, develop the country, and meet regularly for the alliance, can those barbarians shake Bang Zhou?" ”

"No!"

Naturally, the princes saw the combined power and responded in groups.

Luo Cheng said loudly again: "Princes, more than two hundred years ago, the first princes made an oath in front of King Kang and King Su, so there was the prosperity of King Kang.

More than 100 years ago, the princes also made an oath in front of King Zhao and Duke Luowen, so there was the prosperity of King Zhao.

Today, let us once again make a blood alliance in front of the king, never betray, jointly support Zhou Sheji, jointly assist the Son of Heaven, and create a prosperous world! ”

"Congratulations! Congratulate! Congratulate! ”

All the princes raised their heads high again, and all stood up, shouting loudly, echoes circling through the hall.

Ji Fu, who was shocked by this scene, was directly pulled up by Luo Cheng, his arms were raised high, and all the musicians raised the sound of the song again, like the roar of war drums.

How long has the Son of Heaven not had this authority?

No one knows, but now everyone knows that if the country of Luo has given everything, then the royal family will prosper.

A young son of heaven, a regent of Luo's family, and the destiny of Bang Zhou seems to be forever circulating in it.

This is a new era, the era of Luo Cheng and Ji Fu.

……

The alliance of the princes during the reign of King Yi was the last alliance action initiated by Zhou Tianzi, and all the princes were prostrate under the throne, and the Zhou royal family, who had experienced the rebellion of Hojing Shenrong, seemed to have returned to the position of the co-lord of the world.

In the following two decades, the Zhou royal family vigorously defended the Zhou rites and patriarchal system, especially the strong crackdown on the Jin State's Quwo Xiaozong's attempt to replace the Great Sect, so that the prestige of the two monarchs and ministers of King Yi and Luo Xuangong among the princes reached its peak. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
