The Qi State Office suddenly attacked the nobles in the country, and wiped out the Tian family, the strongest among them. The Qi State Office, which was already in decline, immediately shook its prestige.

And the demise of the Tian clan shocked the other nobles in the Qi State, which made the ministers who were also eroding the rights of the office dare not encroach again.

Although the Qingmiao loan did not help the people to reduce their burden, it also filled the treasury of Qi, and with the help of Yanzi, Qi began to gradually become stronger after experiencing civil strife.

The turmoil in the Qi State had a great impact, and after 400 years of partitioning the world by Bang Zhou, the offices of many vassal states had declined, and the secretaries of the state controlled the power. There were also some princely states where the struggle between the monarch and the nobles became increasingly fierce.

But like Qi Hou, it is the first time that he directly attacked first and uprooted the Qingshi family. The incident spread quickly among the countries of the state, many of which were affected.

If you know that Qi has this kind of problem, will there be no other countries? The Jin State and the Lu State have something to say.

After the Marquis of Qi killed the Tian clan and destroyed its full door, the Qing clan of the Jin State was very frightened, and they remembered the time of Jin Jinggong, Jin Jinggong sent troops to kill the Zhao family, if it wasn't for Han Jue's begging, the Zhao family was afraid that they would be destroyed. But even so, the Zhao family only has one child left.

Last time, with the help of Han Jue, Jin Jinggong was soft-hearted and left a bloodline of the Zhao family, but what about the next time? This made the secretary of the Jin State shudder.

Ji Huan, one of the three Huan ministers of the Lu State, gathered all the leaders of the three Huan and discussed: "The Marquis of Qi killed the Tian clan, destroyed his family, cut off his heirs, and collected all his land. What did Tian do? He wants to buy people's hearts and steal some office rights, but is what he is doing as seriously as ours?"

"You must know that we worked with Zhao Gong and expelled him from the Lu State, and we joined forces to govern, although later because of the Yanghu Rebellion, our strength was lost, and we had to return some of our rights, but will the monarch let us go?"

"If the monarch strikes first, what will happen if we are defeated?" There was silence.

"Look at the fate of the Tian clan, the heirs are all dead, the bloodline is cut off, if we are also defeated, the end will only be worse than the Tian clan."

Everyone felt chills in their hearts when they heard this, what they did in the Lu country was worse than the Tian family, if Lu Gong took power, they would definitely die without a place to be buried.

Thinking of this, everyone made up their minds, and immediately Prime Minister Ji Huan said coldly: "The monarch is not in good health, I heard that there is a famous doctor in Huaigong, and it will be Huaigong's birthday in some time, take the monarch to Huaiguo to pay tribute, and by the way, ask Huaigong to send a doctor to diagnose and treat it, this is what our loyal ministers should do."

After the Marquis of Qi killed Tian, more than a month later, on the birthday of the Duke of Huai, the Duke of Lu went to the Huai State with the Prime Minister of the State, and the Duke of Lu went down from Surabaya by boat, crossed the Huai River, passed through the ditch, and went straight into the Yangtze River.

After entering the Yangtze River, it seems that the shipbuilding technology of Lu is not good, and the ship cannot withstand the wind and waves in the river.

After congratulating Huai Gong, Ji Huan led the crowd back to Lu State, and then supported the son who was only two years old to ascend to the position of Lu Gong.

Because of the accidental drowning of Duke Lu, the secretaries of Lu State took responsibility for their crimes, resigned from their official positions one after another, and returned to their respective fiefdoms and never went out again. Instead, let his son inherit the throne.

In addition to the Lu State, the reaction of the Jin State is somewhat intriguing.

The system of the six secretaries of the Jin State made the strength of the six secretaries of the Jin State soar, although after the blow of the Jin Jinggong, the strength of the Qing clan weakened, but after the Jin Li Gong, the strength of the six secretaries of the Jin State grew rapidly, and now it is no longer a big one.

Now the area that the Marquis of Jin can govern is only the area of dozens of miles around the two cities of Quwo and Jiangcheng. As for the rest of the land, it was all controlled by the six secretaries of the Jin State, no, it was the fourth secretary of the Jin State.

As for the original Liuqing, they have been defeated in the struggle for power and profit over the years and have been annexed by the other four secretaries.

After seeing the great changes in the Qi Kingdom, the four secretaries of the Jin Kingdom also had a different kind of thought in their hearts, and by this time, the four of their families had developed to the limit, and it could be said that if they did not advance, they would retreat.

After this situation, the Zhi clan, the most powerful of the four secretaries of the Jin state, summoned the other three Han, Zhao, and Wei Sanqing to discuss.

"The Jin Kingdom declined, decades ago, the Jin Kingdom was also the hegemon of the world, why has it become like this now? I think it's because of the weakness of the Marquis of Jin."

"I advocate that each family give a hundred miles of land and households to the Marquis of Jin, so that the country can be strong."

Of course, the other three families don't believe in the Zhi family's statement, and now the Zhi family is the strongest, holding the power of the Jin Kingdom, and ceding the land to the office, saying that it is for the Jin Gong to control, but in fact? The Duke of Jin has no rights at all, and these lands are finally controlled by the Zhi clan.

To put it bluntly, the strength of the Zhi clan has increased, while the strength of the other three has weakened. Originally, the Zhi family was the strongest one, and if they agreed, the strength of the Zhi family would be even stronger.

The three families were worried that after losing their land, their strength would decline, and they were unwilling to give up their fiefdoms, but the three families were not in unison, and the Han family had already ceded the land and household registration to the Duke of Jin.

The Wei family was also afraid of the strength of the Zhi family, so they could only recognize it through their noses and cede the land and hukou to the office.

When it came to the Zhao clan, the patriarch of the Zhao clan felt that if he compromised, the Zhao clan would eventually be destroyed by the Zhi clan. So he refused directly.

This happened to fall into the calculation of the Zhi clan, and after seeing the Qi Hou destroy the Tian clan, the Zhi clan knew that the Zhi clan had reached the time to choose, and if he couldn't go further, he would be replaced by someone else. So I came up with this plan and annexed several others.

If the other three families donate their land, the strength of the Zhi family will continue to increase, and it will not be difficult to defeat the other families at that time, if they refuse, then draw the other two families to attack the other, and then the three families will divide it. At that time, the Zhi clan will still be the strongest, and it can continue to annex the remaining two.

The Zhi clan immediately summoned the Han clan and the Wei clan to send troops to attack the Zhao clan, and the Zhao clan built the place where the family lived very strong because of the destruction of Zhao by Jing Gong. The three coalition forces attacked for a while, but they couldn't break through the Zhao clan.

After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, the Zhao clan secretly sent someone to contact the Han clan and the Wei clan.

"Han Gong Wei Gong, today the Zhi Clan is strong and our three families are weak, if my Zhao Clan perishes, the Zhi Clan is stronger, how can the Han Clan and the Wei Clan be the opponents of the Zhi Clan at that time?"

"I'm afraid that after the demise of the Zhao clan, the Han clan and the Wei clan will follow."

The head of the Han family and the Wei family was reluctant to attack, but after listening to the words of the head of the Zhao family, he immediately felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately decided to unite with the Zhao family and attack the Zhi family.
