Chapter 16: The Shen Rebellion
Shen Gonglu, the Marquis of Shen during the Lingwang period, his daughter was the queen of the Lingwang, and her power was monstrous. The king of Houling favored Ji Ji, abolished the daughter of Shen Gonglu Shen and his grandson Yuan Yan's eldest son Yi Chang, and established Ji Ji as the queen, and his son Zhan Qi as the eldest prince.
King Houling smiled for Bo's 'cold beauty', and actually ordered Yichang to be denounced as a concubine, not only that, but King Zhou Ling also secretly framed Yichang and wanted to kill his own son, which shows how vicious he is.
Once, when King Zhou You took advantage of Yi Chang to take a walk in the garden, he secretly released the tiger in the cage, wanting to let the tiger bite to death for first aid, but Yi Chang is a very brave person, not only is he not afraid of the tiger, but also roared to subdue the tiger, Yi Chang understood that this was his father's plan, Yi Chang was forced to secretly take his mother out of the capital for fear of chasing and revenge, and went to his own grandfather. With the help of his maternal grandfather, Shen Gonglu, he grew up successfully. From then on, he became a threat to the emperor of the time. Shen Gonglu was furious and secretly colluded with the Qin Rong people to attack with troops
The old capital is a song. At that time, the Spirit King smiled for Bo Ji, and actually teased the princes' soldiers and horses several times with wolf smoke and beacon fire, and Shen Gonglu and his staff members all thought that it was a good opportunity to reveal the news to the Qin Rong people to send troops to attack the old capital Chaoge.
He led the army to guard the checkpoints that the princes must pass through to assist the court, and whenever the princes came to help, they stopped the princes from King Qin on the grounds that the king of Ling was pleasing hime. After De Chaoge was defeated, he immediately led his troops into Beijing and crusaded against Qin Rong in the name of King Qin...
In this battle, the spirit king died, Ji Ji was demoted to slavery, and his son Zhan Qi was demoted. Yichang was proclaimed king by Shen Gonglu, and he was the king of peace.
In the last years of King Xuan of Zhou, the Guanzhong area in the northwest was dry for many years, and the Luo, Jing, and Wei rivers dried up, and agricultural production was seriously affected. At the same time, earthquakes and landslides occurred in the Qishan area, and the production and life of the people were seriously threatened. The powerful natural disaster coupled with the absurd things done by the absurd son of King Zhou Ling, people's first reaction is that this is the punishment of the Zhou royal family by God, and it is the result of the anger of the heavens, so the prophecy was generated, and the father of Zhou Taishi Boyang deduced that this is a sign that Zhou is about to perish, and the situation of confusion in people's hearts has been formed.
The old capital Chaoge is slightly northwest, close to Xirong. At that time, the main threat to the Zhou Dynasty came from the surrounding ethnic minorities, which were Dongyi, Qinrong, Nanban, and Beidi. Among these four threats, the old capital Chaoge was on the verge of Qin Rong and was often harassed by them. Coupled with this internal and external attack, after the Qin Rong people looted on a large scale, they set fire to Chaoge and burned Chaoge to a scorched earth, which could not be rebuilt. In order to prevent the recurrence of the history of Qin Rong's invasion, King He decided to move the capital east and moved it to Luoyi, the eastern capital built by the Duke of Zhou during the Zhou period. Called it and Wang Dongqian.
Since the king moved eastward, the vitality of the Zhou royal family was greatly damaged, and the princes despised the indirect murder of their father by the king, and the prestige of the royal family plummeted.
The Shen family entered the court and controlled the government, and the ministers and princes of the court only knew the regent but not the king.
Shen Gonglu is arrogant and rude, has been in power for 20 years, and has been the prince of the country by the emperor himself. Living in the inner palace for a long time, arrogant and lascivious, bullying the main offender, forbearance and injustice, unambitious, appointing relatives, and looting the people. Wolves and thieves are forbearing, tyrannical and unkind, since the deed has come, there is nothing to be done.
His people even practiced in the Great Cultivation Palace in the territory of Shen State, regulated the encroachment of the Son of Heaven, and even brought the harem concubines to live in the palace.
It is despised by the people of the world, so the princes are more and more disobedient to the orders of the Son of Heaven, and the Zhou family will die.
Hou and the king's son Yi Di got the support of the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Yan to ascend the throne, when the old and weak Shen Gonglu was recuperating in the palace with his favorite concubines, and was directly burned to death in the palace by the Yan and Jin armies. After Wang Yidi exterminated the Shen family, he issued the 'Boon Order', allowing all countries to join the 'treason' that did not obey the royal family's order to support the Zhou royal family, and the prestige of the Zhou royal family was restored, and the national strength of the Later Jin and Yan kingdoms increased greatly.
From selling women to leading the army into Beijing to manipulate the central power, Shen Gonglu always considered and calculated how to satisfy his selfish desires and ambitions. In order to achieve the goal, his people unscrupulously played with power, trampled on the law, destroyed the economy, and harmed the people. Although the decline of the Zhou royal regime was caused by a variety of complex factors, his people undoubtedly accelerated and promoted the decline of the Zhou royal family.
"Shen Gonglu?" The people in the hall were shocked.
"Yes, the man is a remnant of the Shen family. Wang Yun half-knelt under the hall, his expression was extremely serious. Shen Gonglu was a disgrace and a disaster for the Zhou royal family. His descendants are also always reminding the world of the evil government of King Zhou Ling, the mediocrity of Zhou and the king, the tyranny of others, and the untrustworthiness of the Zhou royal family.
"This man has a great deal to do with the case of the capture of your scholars. Wang Yun came to a conclusion.
"What does Wang Ling think this person wants?" The master craftsman, who had not spoken all this time, couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and he was very worried about his son's safety. God knows what the Shen family, who obviously entered Beijing with hatred, will do in the future.
"I think this matter has a lot to do with it. Wang Yun sighed. "This person has blatantly put himself in the public eye, and we can easily find out his identity, and we can see that this matter is not simple. ”
"Wang Ling reconciled?" that Liang Guozhong realized how troublesome this matter would be, and hurriedly asked.
If this person is the mastermind behind the kidnapping case, and such an act can be said to provoke the royal family and provoke the world, how huge and complex should he and the forces behind him be? How many powerful people in the DPRK and China should be involved? Wang Yun resumed. "And the second situation is even more complicated, if this person is just a pawn thrown by the person behind him, using the Shen clan as bait to attract our attention and then darken Chen Cang, but we, especially His Majesty the Son of Heaven, can't sit back and watch such an arrogant behavior after the Shen clan, this is a conspiracy!"
"Hiss~" Yang Yuan, the son of Liang Guozhong, gasped and was speechless in shock.
"Then what do you say? The first god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hou Wu of Tongxian County, frowned, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he asked Wang Yun with anger.
"There's only one way to go. Wang Yun nodded to his people, raised his head and said, "After catching this Shen clan." ”
