Zijue found that life after death was not boring as he imagined, but very interesting. After renovating the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, he soon discovered a problem. That is, his soul is not unconsumed. After transforming the Cave Blessed Land, he will feel sleepy and want to rest.

In the blessed world, his soul will grow slowly, and of course it will grow even faster when he is sleeping. And after he left the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, his soul began to weaken, although it was very slow, but Zi Jue could clearly feel that of course he could also use Qi Luck to strengthen his soul.

After discovering this situation, Zijue rarely went out, but slept in the blessed land, and only when some major events occurred or a family change occurred.

Since his death, the Huai State has continued to develop along the path he has laid down. Fifty years of government have become inertial, and Huai's national strength is still steadily improving.

The impact of his death was great, and the most influential of them were the Eastern vassal states and the Zhou royal family. Especially in some vassal states in the east, the continuous defeats made them very afraid of Zijue, and the growth of Huai's strength over the years also overwhelmed them.

Now that Zi Jue has passed away, the eastern countries suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The third son of heaven of Bang Zhou also died soon after, although this son of heaven failed to launch the Eastern Crusade, but he did well in other aspects, and Bang Zhou was very prosperous under the management of two generations of emperors.

It is rare for a dynasty to have three Ming monarchs in a row, and the Zhou Dynasty has already produced four Ming monarchs from King Wen, and the probability of continuing to produce Ming monarchs is very low. After King Kang's son ascended the throne, this Zhou Tianzi was ambitious and wanted to do some great things.

Then what could boast of martial arts more than to expand the territory and conquer the enemy country? This Zhou Tianzi quickly set his sights on Dongfang Huaiguo.

He knew that his father, King Kang, had suffered defeat in Huai Guo, but for a rebellious and wanted to prove that he was stronger than his father, what better way to prove that he was stronger than his father than to directly defeat Huai Guo?

So Ji Bi, who had just ascended the throne, ordered to prepare to conquer Huai again. It's just that after experiencing a failure, the ministers of the Zhou royal family did not agree, especially the prince surnamed Ji, who served as the third prince, did not support his decision, which made Ji Bi very dissatisfied.

It's just that he has just ascended the throne and does not have enough prestige to forcibly promote this war, and at the same time, the vassal states of Shandong do not want to provoke Huai. So the matter is deadlocked here.

If Ji Bi devoted himself to governing the country, accumulated fame, and ordered the princes to pacify and not subordinate, he would have been in power for ten years in such a stable manner, and he had enough political prestige, and then promoted the conquest of Huai and did not subordinate, it would be logical.

It's a pity that Ji Bi doesn't understand this kind of political game, or he thinks it's too slow to follow this method, so he has a very unpleasant quarrel with Sangong.

In the fourth year of Ji Bi, a vision fell from the sky, the earth of Hojing shook, the river water, well water, and spring water rose and overflowed at the same time, the birds and beasts were frightened, the snakes and ants fled, and at night, the light of the earth penetrated directly into the crape myrtle, and all the universe turned into blue and red, and there were no stars.

The star official of the stargazing platform came to report that the demon light interfered with the lord and blocked the universe, but there were traitors who deceived the Son of Heaven. Since Ji Bi ascended the throne, he has been restrained by the three dukes, and when he encountered this opportunity, he could be described as drowsy and touched the pillow, and immediately used the ominous celestial phenomena to remove the three dukes, and the three dukes left in a bad mood.

Since then, Ji Bi has been arbitrary and has no constraints.

Without the dissuasion of the three princes, Ji Bi can show his strength from now on. Under his orders, Wang Ji began to raise grain and grass, and at the same time gave an edict to the Shandong states to gather the princes to join forces.

When the Shandong states learned that Ji Bi had ordered the assembly of coalition forces to defeat the Huai State, they were reluctant to join. After all, there have been three fiascos in a row, and the losses of the countries are not small. And now that Huai is strong, he is not willing to send troops.

But just when the princes of Shandong wanted to continue to prevaricate, a major event happened in the Lu State.

Lu Yougong's younger brother Ji Fei staged a coup d'état, killed Lu Yougong, and established himself as Lu Gong. You must know that Lu is the feudal state of Zhou Gongdan, Zhou Gongdan established the Zhou rites, binding the princes to act according to the etiquette system, before Ji Bi, Chengkang and the two sons of heaven ruled the country according to the Zhou rites, and the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived, and most of the princes could only obediently obey the order.

Any prince who dared to violate the Zhou rites would be punished, and in serious cases, even removed from the state. Killing a king can be said to be the most serious felony.

After launching a coup d'état to seize the position of Duke Lu, this Duke of Lu Ji Fei immediately sent people to Wang Ji Hojing, expressing his willingness to obey Ji Bi's edict, and gathering troops to obey Ji Bi's orders and levy against the ministers.

Ji Bi, who was prevaricating by the Shandong vassal states, was overjoyed when he learned that Duke Lu was willing to send troops. Instead of punishing Lu Gongji for killing the king, he ordered him to prepare for war. Neither sent troops to recruit nor raised teachers to ask for guilt, and this kind of serious undermining of the system was gently let go.

As a major vassal power in Shandong, Lu has a high status among the Shandong states. The surrender of the Lu State to Ji Bi directly led to the fact that the vassal states of Shandong could only obey Ji Bi's orders and start a regular military war.

When he learned that Ji Bi's army was preparing to go east again, Shenhou and Suihou, who had been removed from the position of the third duke, came to stop him again.

In the palace of Hojing, just after discussing the expedition with several ministers, he saw Shenhou and Suihou directly break in.

"Shenhou Suihou, you are so bold that you dare to trespass on the palace ban!" Ji Hou next to him scolded loudly.

Shenhou and Suihou didn't look at Ji Hou, and directly stepped forward to salute Ji Bi, and then said: "The king wants to go east, and the old minister can't stop it, but the king, Lu Hou was killed, and Ji Fei committed the crime, so why didn't the king punish him?" Instead, let it gather an army? ”

"Shenhou followed the Hou, Lu Hou died of illness and his younger brother ascended the throne, this is also the recommendation of the Lu family, and it is not easy for Lone to meddle in this matter!" Ji Bi argued.

"Your Majesty, this Ji Fei is trampling on the etiquette system of my Bang Zhou, committing the following crimes, killing the monarch, this is a great rebellion, if it is not severely punished, I am afraid that others will follow suit in the future, this is the foundation of my Bang Zhou, and it must be disposed of!" Sui Hou said bitterly.

"Yes, your majesty, Zhou Li is the foundation of my state and Zhou, and if you trample on it like this, I am afraid that the country will not be a country in the future! Please also ask the king to ask the guilty Ji boiling! ”

"Enough!" Ji Bi waved his hand suddenly, and said sternly to the two of them: "Shenhou Suihou and Hou Er are no longer the third dukes, and they have no right to intervene in state affairs. ”

Shenhou and Suihou stood on the spot, and after a while, they walked out of the main hall with a dejected face, and left Haojing accompanied by the guards.

Shenhou Suihou looked at Haojing who was gradually moving away behind him, and said angrily: "Cheng Zhou's great cause, ruined by Si Ye!" ”

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the governance of the two kings of Chengkang, the Zhou Dynasty entered its heyday, and the authority of the Son of Heaven reached its peak, but when it came to the king of Zhou, after Lu Yougong was killed by Lu Wei Gong and seized power, Zhou Tianzi did not have any punishment, did not send troops to levy, and did not raise teachers to ask for guilt, but recognized his position, resulting in the phenomenon of bullying the weak in the world occurred repeatedly, and the dynasty was deviated. ——The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty: The Destruction of the Zhou Dynasty
