Gongsun Wuzhi hated Qi Hou deeply, and Qi Hou humiliated Gongsun Wuzhi several times after ascending the throne, and then stopped paying attention. With the power of Gongsun's ignorance, he didn't even have a chance to rebel.

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng was ready to find a suitable nobleman in the Qi State, after all, the Qi State had been in civil strife for so long before, and many nobles were involved in it, and there were always some who were dissatisfied with the Marquis of Qi.

It's just that Wang Sheng rummaged through these books and didn't find a suitable candidate. He could only order Xi Zuo to continue to collect information on the Qi Kingdom.

Luoyi. Since Zhou Tianzi moved eastward, the influence of the Zhou family, which had experienced the Hojing Rebellion, had declined, and the phenomenon of the two kings standing side by side had reduced Zhou Tianzi's already small prestige again.

The Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Zheng escorted Zhou Tianzi to the east, originally wanting to use the prestige of Zhou Tianzi to seek some benefits for each other, but Ji Yuchen was proclaimed as a prince, which greatly affected the rights of the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Zheng as the third duke.

Therefore, the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Zheng were very dissatisfied with the Kingdom of Yu. Ji Yuchen was the king of the land and was supported by the nobles of Hokyo Wangji. Although Marquis Jin and Marquis Zheng were dissatisfied, they did not dare to attack easily, after all, if you count it seriously, this is also Zhou Tianzi.

On the contrary, it was Ji Yijiu who broke through Haojing because of Qi's grandfather Shenhou and Dog Rong, which made Ji Yijiu's reputation not very good, and even his father Zhou Youwang died here. Ji Yijiu was also suspected of killing the monarch because of this.

With the assistance of the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Zheng, Ji Yijiu gradually established some prestige and stabilized the situation. And at this time, Ji Yijiu also began to deal with the matter of the two kings standing together, and the juxtaposition of the two kings seriously threatened his legitimacy, and if Ji Yuchen was not eradicated, his edict could only be implemented in Luoyi.

Ji Yijiu issued an edict to let the Marquis of Jin kill Ji Yuchen, who was supported by the nobles of the King of Hojing, which was in line with the Marquis of Jin. With Ji Yijiu's order, it would not be a murder for him to kill Ji Yuchen again.

After experiencing the rebellion of Hokyo, after the robbery of the dogs, the nobles around Hojing were also greatly damaged, although the kingdom of Yu, which supported Ji Yuchen, was also a vassal state, and its status was very high, and it was a fence for the Son of Heaven.

But the strength of the Kingdom of Yu is far inferior to that of the Jin State, and more importantly, some of the Kingdom of Yu also moved east with Ji Yijiu, which led to the fact that the strength of the Kingdom of Yu and the nobles of Wangji who supported Ji Yuchen was not strong.

Even after Ji Yijiu took control of Luoyi, he had completely overwhelmed Ji Yuchen.

The army of the Jin State marched south, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Yu and the nobles of the King of Hojing formed a large army to resist. It's just that the army of the Jin State has been fighting against Rong Di all the year round, and it has rich combat experience, and it surpasses the army of the nobles of the Kingdom of Yu and the King of Haojing in terms of strength and numbers.

When the Qin State learned of the Jin State's intentions, he immediately came to the rescue. Originally, after the Qin State was made a prince, the land of Feng Ho was also handed over to the Qin State by Ji Yijiu, but with these Ho Jing Wangji nobles, the Qin State could not control the land of Feng Ho at all, and this time the Jin State came, just with the help of the power of the Jin State to sweep away these Wang Ji nobles.

The Qin State and the Jin State can be said to hit it off, and at the moment the two sides work together to deal with the Wangji nobles and the Yu State, and the original Wangji nobles and the Yu State are not as strong as the Jin State, and this time the gap is even greater.

Jin Marquis Ji Qiu commanded a large army to attack, and the allied forces of the Kingdom of Yu were defeated in successive battles, unable to stop, and finally the army invaded the land, killed Ji Yuchen, and captured the nobles of the king of Haojing, and then returned.

And the Qin State not only swept away the Wangji nobles in the land of Fenghao, but even the Kingdom of Yu was also wiped out. With the help of the power of the Jin State, the Qin State annexed the land of Feng Ho and the Kingdom of Yu in one fell swoop, and its strength was greatly improved.

Ji Yuchen was killed, and Ji Yijiu became the only Zhou Tianzi.

When the Marquis of Jin returned victoriously, Zhou Tianzi was overjoyed when he learned about it. As the first power of the princess, with the strong support of the Marquis of Jin, no one is competing with him for orthodoxy, and Ji Yijiu's position is suddenly as stable as Mount Tai.

After receiving the support of Zheng Guo and Jin Guo, Zhou Tianzi became more and more powerful. In order to express his importance to the Marquis of Jin, Zhou Tianzi specially greeted the Marquis of Jin on the bank of Luoshui.

Seeing Zhou Tianzi so courteous, Jin Hou was very happy in his heart.

On the bank of Luoshui, Ji Yijiu excitedly held the hand of the Marquis of Jin, and said emotionally: "In the past, when the state collapsed in the Zhou Dynasty, the Marquis of Jin Zheng Bo took the lead in coming to the rescue, and then escorted the widow to move east to Luoyi, and now he is helping the widow to kill the rebellious person, and the widow really doesn't know what to say to express his respect for you." ”

"I can become the king of Bangzhou, this is your great help, your kindness, no one will ever forget! What reward do you want, in addition to the position of the Son of Heaven, as long as the widow can do it, I am willing to share it with you, I hope you can assist the widow like Zhou Gongdan to assist the king of martial arts and the king of Cheng! ”

When the Marquis of Jin heard that the Son of Heaven was so affectionate and righteous, and compared himself with Zhou Gongdan, he was also moved in his heart, and immediately bit his finger and wiped it on his lips: "Son of Heaven, the lonely mind can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the mountains and rivers are the proof, and he will be alone for a lifetime, and his descendants will assist the Son of Heaven for generations." ”

Ji Yijiu immediately bit his finger as well, wiped it on his lips, and then said: "The widow swears that he will live up to the Marquis of Jin in this life, and the descendants of the future generations will not live up to the Marquis of Jin." ”

When the ministers of the Jin State and the nobles of Luoyi Wangji and several other princes saw this scene, they were very shocked in their hearts, and they did not expect that Zhou Tianzi would give such a great courtesy to the Marquis of Jin. The eyes of the ministers of the Jin State were full of surprises, but the nobles of Luoyi Wangji were a little more vigilant.

The Marquis of Jin is valued by the Son of Heaven, so it will definitely affect the rights of these people. This also caused Zheng Bo to dig the dissatisfaction, when Zheng Huan Gong assisted the king of Zhou You, he was killed together under the pickaxe Jingli Mountain, and then Zheng Huan Gong's son dutu to protect the Son of Heaven to move eastward and obtain the position of the third duke.

When this Zheng Bo took advantage of Zhou Tianzi's inspection of the Kingdom of Yu, he took the opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Qiu, and annexed the State of Hu with the help of marrying his daughter. It can be said that this Uncle Zheng has used the Son of Heaven and all the people or things that can be used to the extreme, which has made Zhou Tianzi very disgusted, and this time Zhou Tianzi vigorously rewarded the Marquis of Jin, also to balance Zheng Guo.

When Zheng moved eastward, he only donated ten cities from Dongyu and Yi, but now Zheng has annexed many small states such as Yi, Dongyu, and Hu, and has occupied the magpie's nest and turned the original land into his own territory. Since then, Zheng Guo has become a great power in the Central Plains.

Zheng Guo used the name of Zhou Tianzi to expand the territory, and used various conspiracies and tricks to grab the land has made the Son of Heaven suspicious. At the same time, the nobles of Wangji and the other surrounding vassal states were also dissatisfied with Zheng.

Under pressure from the Son of Heaven, the Marquis of Jin, and other nobles of Wangji, Zheng Bo had no choice but to cede a large area of land west of Zhiyi to Zhou Tianzi. But the effects of its despicable acquisition of land have not ended.
