Wang Xuxu died, and his son Wang Chong ascended the throne.

Wang Chong was not actually the eldest son, but his elder brother broke his leg while riding a horse, so he was replaced as the successor to the throne of the country. With the Huai State seizing more than half of the Mandate of Heaven, the backlash against the Huai royal family has become weaker and weaker.

Although there are no six talents with attributes above ninety, there are several above eighty-five, and Wang Chong is one of them. After Wang Chong ascended the throne, he promoted many officials. After the annexation of the land of Bashu, the territory of the Huai State was further expanded, and the east-west span was extremely large, with a total of 4,000 li.

Fortunately, there is a waterway connected by the Yangtze River, otherwise it would be too difficult to rule such a vast territory.

As the territory expands, so do the problems. Although Huai has a system of inspecting the imperial history, there are still many officials who will defy the law.

The expansion of the territory weakened the ruling power of the Huai State, and the farther away from Jinling, the weaker the ruling power of the Huai State. Wang Xu discovered this problem at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, so he transferred a large number of people, spent a huge amount of money and food, and forcibly promoted the establishment of a gallop road and the implementation of the same track. Through the continuous construction of galloping roads over the past few decades, the dominance of the Huai State has been strengthened.

The advent of the gallop road has increased the speed of Huaiguo carriages by two or three times. The journey, which originally took ten days, took only three to four days to reach it through galloping and changing horses. Officials were appointed more quickly, and the movement of troops was much faster, but the gallops were expensive and in many places not suitable for construction.

As a result, there are still many places where roads are slow. Officials in these places think that the emperor is far away, so they will act recklessly, after all, it takes two or three months or even longer for officials to be appointed and dismissed once. It's inconvenient to get around, and there's plenty of time to cover it up.

For a long time, Huaiguo has been using various ways to reduce the occurrence of this kind of thing. It's just that people's desires are not satisfied. Wang Chong then prepared to stay in some inconvenient places to inspect the imperial history and set up an inspection of the imperial history office.

The inspection of the Imperial History Mansion is not under the jurisdiction of the local government, but directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which needs to send the news from these Imperial Historians to the hands of King Huai. The Imperial Historian's Office has no authority over local government affairs, and can only supervise it.

The right to inspect the Imperial History Mansion is not small, because the power is small and cannot deter those officials under it, and even because these inspections of the Imperial History are to verify that these officials have a relationship with local officials, in order to ensure their safety, Wang Chong ordered the establishment of the Imperial History Mansion and some military powers, responsible for protecting these inspections of the Imperial History.

In fact, since the establishment of the inspection system, there are no longer two inspectors who have been killed and killed. Every time the patrol is killed, a bunch of people lose their heads. Therefore, if you want to be promoted quickly in Huaiguo, in addition to war, you are going to inspect the imperial history. As long as there are achievements, the promotion of the patrol imperial history is very fast.

The Huaiguo Office has always suppressed local wealthy families, but it can't beat these local wealthy families to death with a stick. They can only be kept within one range.

Wang Chong has just ascended the throne, and he needs to promote a group of people and remove a group of people to form his own team. Wang Chong can be said to be the monarch with the highest attributes of power and internal affairs in recent generations, both of which exceed eighty-five. What he is doing now is to take control of the power as soon as possible.

Although the men of the Huai royal family are handsome and the women are beautiful, most of them are more than eighty points, and it is rare to have more than ninety points, Wang Chong is a rare beautiful man. At the same time, he was very politically skillful, deposing a number of local officials by inspecting the imperial history, and then promoting his own cronies. Soon took control of the power court.

After taking control of the court, Wang Chong felt that Bangzhou Wangji was a bit of an eyesore. lost King Yu Jiuding, and the Zhou royal family basically existed in name only. Two years after his accession to the throne, Wang Chong ordered Xu Chao to command an army of 50,000 and destroy the Zhou state.

Wang Chong wanted to capture Luoyi and sweep away the Zhou royal family. The Mandate of Heaven of the Zhou people has declined, and it is time for the Mandate of Heaven of the Huai Kingdom.

Wang Chong's edict ordered Xu Chao to march into the army, and at the same time, he also ordered someone to write an edict and send it to Luoyi, asking him to go to the king and dedicate Luoyi, and then King Huai would give him a city south of Jinling, and make him king, so that he could continue to worship his ancestors.

Nakyi, the main hall of the royal palace.

The dilapidated palace is like the state of Bangzhou, which has been declining. Only the occasional ornate ornamentation can still show the former glory of this palace.

The Zhou royal family has been in decline for a long time. In the past, there was also the Jin State and the Qi State to maintain the prestige of Zhou Tianzi, but since the Jin State was divided and the Qi State declined, Zhou Tianzi's prestige has fallen rapidly. It's now dispensable. Even if this generation of Zhou Tianzi wants to work hard, there is no room for development.

The bamboo slip in Zhou Tianzi's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and he muttered to himself: "Ancestor of King Wu, the hundred-year-old foundation of Bang Wu is coming to an end in the hands of unfilial children and grandchildren!" ”

The attendants next to him also fell to their knees, and they were also planning for their future.

"Sonorous." Zhou Tianzi pulled out the sword at his waist, and there was no sadness and panic on his face.

Shen Sheng said: "Back then, Yin Shang lost his morality, Fengming Qishan, there was a martial king to cut down the world, the world was divided, the Zhou family was five hundred years old, the royal family was orthodox, and the blood of the martial king, how could he surrender without a fight?" ”

"If you want the destiny of the Zhou Chamber, then come! Pass the order of the widow, prepare the army for battle, and the widow will personally put on the armor and fight with the Huai people! ”

"The blood of every king begins with the sword and ends with the sword."

Ji Yun is a rare Ming monarch among the princes of Bang Zhou, although he was born in a noble family, but he understands the suffering of the people, does not like luxury, lives simply, and loves the people. If he was born two hundred years early, Bang Zhou might still forge ahead, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time.

When he ascended the throne, Bangzhou was left with only dozens of miles of land near Luoyi, and there was no room for development.

Among Luoyi, there are not many armor soldiers, but Bang Wu has been in business for a hundred years, and there are still many people who are willing to follow. Ji Yun led 3,000 armor soldiers to fight against Xu Chao, and the army surrounded Luoyi, and March was down.

Ji Yun took the lead, and the morale of the Luoyi defenders was high, and they were not afraid of death. It's just that when the manpower was poor, in the end, Ji Yun suffered several wounds and died in the battle, and Luoyi City was broken.

And at the same time as Ji Yun died, the eternal lantern in the Taimiao Temple in Luoyi City, and the sacrificial Dading was also extinguished. The last wisp of Heavenly Destiny Purple Qi in Bang Zhou also completely dissipated.

In the eleventh year of King Mourning, Huai general Xu Chao attacked Zhou.

Chao said: "Allow the emperor of Zhou to surrender with the king's courtesy, and he can seal the king's food and eat to extend the ancestry." ”

The king of mourning said, "The blood of every king begins with the sword and ends with the sword." ”

In March, the city was broken, the mourning king died in the battle, the king of Huai was buried with the king's ceremony, his son was crowned as the king, and the food was 100 households, in order to worship Zhou. - "Historical Records: Zhou Benji"
