Chapter 59: Heavy Ears Take the Throne, Iron Curtain Falls (Part II)
In the Jin court, Yan Qing ran in with excitement on her face.
He held the bamboo slip high in his hand and said: "Monarch, Luo Guo has persuaded your brother Gongzi Chong'er that he is willing to recognize your throne and serve you as the monarch." β
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed, this can't help but be excited, Gongzi Chong'er is different, he is the beneficiary of the previous edict.
There are also two big countries of Zilo behind them!
If they don't fool the Marquis of Jin, Gongzi Chong'er is the one who should ascend to the throne of the Jin Kingdom.
Now that Gongzi Chonger has taken the initiative to give up the throne and personally stand up to admit Childe's ignorant edict, this credibility is almost 100%.
Gongzi Lin and Gongzi Wu raised up again, just in a vain attempt to kill the king!
No one wants to be recorded in the history books for the murder of the king, and it is even more ridiculous to change history.
The historians of the world are out of Luo's, and the annals of the world are returned to Luo.
Luo Guo's attitude towards history books is very cautious, requiring historians from all countries to write truthfully, even if some things are not easy to say, you can be a little obscure, but you can't talk nonsense.
The last person who was recorded as killing the monarch and then directly killing the historian, his body has been crushed into dirt by the Luoguo chariot.
Luo's insistence on this point was almost stricter than the patriarchal system, and for the first time in 500 years, the Zhuxia kingdoms saw the king of Luoguo so angry, and rushed to another country without scruples, and killed the ruling minister, simply because he killed a truthfully recorded historian.
There was jubilation on the side of Yicheng, but Gongzi Wu was stunned, "Ignorance took away Chong'er's throne, but Chong'er admitted the edict in the hands of ignorance?"
The dove occupies the magpie's nest, so the magpie takes the initiative to give the nest to the dove?
Could it be that when did I offend Chong'er, so he didn't want me to take the throne? β
This is the only explanation that Childe Dance can find, otherwise he really doesn't know the reason for Childe's heavy ears.
Because whether it is the ignorance of the son to be the monarch, or the son to dance to be the monarch, there is no difference for the son of Chong'er.
Gongzi Wu would never have imagined that he was too incompetent, and he hadn't been able to snatch his brother's throne for two years, and now the situation has changed to the point where the Jin Kingdom wants to end the chaos in a short time.
Gongzi Chong'er's main reliance is Qi and Luo, and now Qi and Luo are asking him to support Gongzi's ignorance, although he is unwilling, but there is no way, and he can't help himself.
The most embarrassing thing is probably Gongzi Lin, who just announced that he was going to crusade against the Qing doctor in Yicheng with Gongzi Wu, and this news came out.
The cleverness of this timing is a bit like the rebellion of the three eunuchs before King Su's Eastern Crusade, and if he fails in the end, he will definitely become a joke in the history books.
But now the situation is not under his control, the Song army is coming, can it still be retreated like this?
Isn't it a joke that the Song State interfered with the throne of the Jin State in order to get the friendship of the Jin State, and now he has not been able to push the prince he wants to push up, but has offended the future Marquis of Jin.
Song Gong knew the news, and his face turned green directly, what does it mean to steal chickens and rice, he is talking about him now.
Gongzi Wu and Gongzi Lin are in a dilemma here, but Yicheng is facing another problem, that is, the envoy of Qi State mentioned Gongzi Yin very vaguely.
"Monarch, it seems that the Kingdom of Qi and the Kingdom of Luo want us to kill Gongzi Yin."
Zhao Qing's words were quite hesitant, killing a son is not killing cats and dogs, many sons will not be killed even if they make mistakes, at most they will be exiled.
"How could Luo Guo make such a request?" Yan Fei asked a little strangely.
She didn't care about Gongziyin's life, but she didn't want to let her son be charged with killing her brother, and this kind of request was not Luo Guo's style, she suspected that Zhao Qing wanted to take revenge for personal gain.
"Mrs. Tai, Luo Guo really didn't say that he wanted to kill Gongziyin.
The envoys of the Luo State said that they were worried that Gongzi Yin would follow Gongzi Lin and introduce Qin's troops into the Jin State, so they hoped that Gongzi Yin would be placed under house arrest and not contact Qin.
But the minister thought that this was just a lie, and it was impossible to block Gongziyin from contacting Qin under house arrest, and I was afraid that Luo Guo wanted us to kill Gongziyin. β
In fact, of course, Luo Guo wanted to kill Gongzi Yin directly, but this was a son who was not at fault, and he couldn't kill him if he said so, so Luo Yan hoped that Jin Guo could choose a good fief for Gongzi Yin and not let him contact Qin State.
These doctors are all human spirits, and they have tasted the true meaning of Luo Yan from their words.
Zhao Qing felt that his idea was very right, and said again: "Monarch, although this is the minister's speculation, but Gongziyin's mother is a noble daughter from the Qin State, and now the Qin State dominates Xirong and is also involved with the Chu State.
Because the Kuihan Passage is in the hands of our Jin State, this is the checkpoint of the Qin State to the east, if Gongzi borrows the troops of the Qin State to go east, he may cede the Cuihan Passage to the Qin State.
Luo Guo has always been very concerned about the security of the Cuihan Passage, so I hope we will consider it carefully. β
If you think about it carefully, the safest thing to do is to kill him directly, so that the Qin State will not be able to put his hand in at all.
When Yan Fei heard this, the Qin State was actually so strong, and she also peeked into the Cuihan Passage, even she knew the importance of this passage, and the Qin State also formed an alliance with the Chu State.
She is not a strong political woman, but the reputation of Chu in the Central Plains is too bad, especially after the Battle of Yanling, basically anyone who sees it has to shake their heads.
So he immediately said: "The state of Chu has always been rude to the royal family and the princes of the Central Plains, and it is a country like a barbarian.
The state of Qin actually allied with the state of Chu, and it seems that it is also a rude country that does not obey the Son of Heaven.
Although I am a woman, I also know that I respect Zhou Tianzi, and because my son is from such a country, he must be a person with jackals, tigers and leopards in his heart.
But after all, he is the son of the monarch, and the monarch said many times before his death that he was worried that he would not be able to see Gongzi after the death, so he would be lonely.
Since the monarch likes Gongzi Yin so much, let Gongzi Yin accompany him.
This can not only reflect the filial piety of Gongziyin, but also make the monarch feel warm, I have known the monarch for many years, this is the last thing I can do for the monarch. β
When she said these cold words, there was a warm smile on her beautiful face, as if she didn't want to kill the son of the Marquis of Jin, but really thought that she was thinking about the Marquis of Jin.
Although she was secretly vigilant in her heart, since Yan Fei took the initiative to carry the cauldron of this matter on her body, these doctors were naturally willing.
So they bowed down and said, "Mrs. Tai, you are really a virtuous and virtuous woman.
The monarch must also know your sincerity, so he set up the prince to inherit the throne of the Jin Kingdom in ignorance.
Childe will be very grateful to you for being able to do his filial piety to his father because of you. β
Childe ignorantly watched his brother being killed by his mother and these ministers of the Jin Kingdom in just a few words, which made him feel a little frightened.
That's a prince of the Jin Kingdom, a nobleman surnamed Ji, with a noble bloodline, far beyond these people.
As a result, life and death were decided in just a few words.
Childe is ignorant and not very old, and he is still very cowardly by nature, and now that he has experienced this incident, he was directly frightened, and he often panicked in his dreams for a few days.
The reason why Yan Fei and Doctor Qing decided to kill Gongzi Yin so quickly was because among the five princes of the Jin Kingdom, without counting foreign aid, Gongzi Yin's power in the Jin Kingdom was the smallest among all the princes, and it was easy to kill.
After Gongzi Lin introduced the Song army, Gongzi Yin was indeed considering whether to introduce the Qin army into the Jin state.
Unexpectedly, someone in Yicheng had already come to kill him, of course he would not sit idly by, and directly led his retainers to resist, but he was defeated.
However, he was not captured, slipped out through the tunnel, and then ran all the way towards the Qin State.
But Luo Guo has always been prepared with both hands, and when he saw that Yicheng did not choose to put Gongzi under house arrest, but killed him directly.
They notified the generals of Hangu Pass, so under Hangu Pass, Gongzi was blocked here by the killers of the Jin Kingdom.
"I am the son of the Jin Kingdom, and I was killed without fault, is this what a wise monarch should do?
Isn't Childe ignorant worried about being infamous for killing his brother? β
Childe vented his fear loudly in despair, but those killers who were sent naturally didn't care about Childe's roar, and shot Childe directly under the walls of Hangu Pass.
This was the first of the five princes to die at the hands of his own brother, and the historians of the Jin Kingdom covered up the ignorance of the prince a little.
However, the historians of other countries directly wrote down the six words "Jin Hou Keyin Yu Han", describing the killing between the two brothers in grams, which can be said to be full of irony.
These killers pickled Gongziyin's head and brought it directly back to Yicheng, which was for the monarch, Mrs. Tai, and those princes to see.
When Gongziyin's head was transmitted to Yicheng, Zhao Qing personally brought Gongziyin's head into the palace and signaled to Gongzi Wuzhi and Yan Fei, his expression was quite proud.
But at this time, an accident happened that everyone didn't expect, and Childe was ignorant and fainted in fright when he saw the hideous appearance of his brother's head.
It turned out that Gongzi was ignorant these days, and he was already shocked by these doctors who dared to kill their brother while talking and laughing.
Now it was cold and cold, and the whole person had a high fever.
In this era, a high fever is basically a ghost door closed, and eight out of ten people will die directly, and Luo Ren still relied on Ji Zhao's ancestral blessing to survive at the beginning.
Now only by using Ji Zhao's prop medicine talisman can you ensure that Childe's ignorance can be cured directly.
But Luo Ci and Luo Yan were forced to admit the ignorant throne of Gongzi at the beginning, and now they wish he was dead, how could they spend an artifact to save him.
Character determines destiny.
The timid and cowardly monarch, the strong and ruthless mother, died after a strong stimulus, quite like the mother and son of Emperor Hui of Han and Empress Lu.
Everyone didn't expect that just when the situation in the Jin Kingdom was about to settle down, the Marquis of Jin, who had only been on the throne for two years, would go directly.
Gongzi Wu and Gongzi Lin were excited again, this is really a turning point, they were already going to admit defeat in the struggle for the throne, but they didn't expect to have another chance.
So the two said in unison: This is not an accident, but the son's heavy ears and murder of the king.
The most surprising thing was Gongzi Chong'er, when Luo Guo informed him of the situation in the Jin Kingdom, saying that only by recognizing Gongzi's ignorant throne could the interests of the Jin Kingdom be guaranteed, he endured it.
But I didn't expect that the ignorance of the son would suddenly die, such a happy event, who would have imagined it?
As soon as Gongzi ignorance dies, Luo Guo will definitely guarantee his throne, which is why Gongzi Wu and Gongzi Lin said in unison that Gongzi Chonger killed Gongzi Ignorance.
Although I can't guess that it was the attitude of the doctors who scared Childe to death, the ignorance of Childe was obviously related to the murder of Childe.
Gongzi Wu and Gongzi Lin themselves were just trying to find an excuse, and the two decided to join forces to kill Gongzi Chong'er first, as long as they could kill Gongzi Chong'er before Luo Guo intervened, Luo Guo would not interfere with the succession of Jin State.
When the royal family was in turmoil, King Xi killed everyone in the royal family, and finally forced Luo Hou to grit his teeth and recognize him as the king.
Now the two of them can naturally use the same means to force Luo Hou to withdraw from this succession war, and it is a big deal to wait until he ascends the throne to repair relations with Luo Guo.
Fortunately, since the incident in the royal family back then, Luo Guo has been guarding against this kind of thing from happening again, and the people who stayed with Gongzi Chong'er quickly ran away with Gongzi Chong'er.
Luo Yan gathered at the border of Qi with the troops of Luo and Qi, and after receiving Gongzi Chong'er, he went to Jin with great momentum.
In the first battle, Gongzi Wu was defeated, and Gongzi Chong'er hated this younger brother who had disgraced the Jin State Office, and announced that he would be erased from the genealogy of the office, and then directly killed him on the charge of cholera office.
The army of Luo State escorted Gongzi Chong'er into the capital of Jin with almost no resistance, and Gongzi Chong'er announced his accession to the Marquis of Jin.
Gongzi Wu was killed, Gongzi Lin fled to the Song Kingdom, and Chong'er thought of the old things of Song Zhuang Gong, so he sent a letter to Song Gong.
"Childe was ignorant because he killed Childe, and finally died of fear.
It seems that killing a brother will be punished by heaven.
But Gongzi Lin made a big mistake and should go to heaven to pray to his father for forgiveness.
If you kill him in the Song Kingdom and help him meet the Jin Emperor, he will surely be grateful to you.
The Jin Kingdom will not forget your kindness either. β
Song Gong saw that the general trend had gone, and it was an indisputable fact that Gongzi Chong'er succeeded to the throne, and now that the Jin State and the Luo State were united again, he was worried that the Luo State and the Jin State would use this excuse to crusade against him, and saw that Gongzi Chong'er was faintly threatening in the letter, so he killed Gongzi Lin in fear.
At this point, the rebellion of the Five Princes, which lasted for several years, finally came to an end.
β¦β¦
In the midst of the bloody slaughter, Duke Wen of Jin ascended the throne, which marked the complete formation of the alliance between Qi and Jin.
Because Gongzi was killed, the Qin State felt the malice of the Jin State, and the alliance between Qin and Chu became closer and closer.
From the Kunhan Heavenly Danger between Qin and Jin to the land of Yanling where Qi and Chu intersected, an iron curtain across the Zhuxia world has descended.
The Ji Jiang Alliance and the Mi Ying Alliance, the two largest military groups in the Zhuxia world, have waged a two-hundred-year fight to the death! ββThe Cambridge History of China: Eastern Zhou Vol. 3
deleted a lot of words, looked more comfortable, and quickly ended this plot.
