Xu Huan said: "The princes competed for the king, the authority of Zhou Tianzi completely disappeared, the Central Plains Dynasty changed from the nominal Great Zhou to a bunch of independent kingdoms, for the princes, Zhou Tianzi was of little use, and no one wanted to use him anymore, play their own and fight their own, so the Warring States entered a chaotic war without order - to put it bluntly, there is no fig leaf."

"I see. Sechin nodded.

Xu Huan said again: "The authority of Zhou Tianzi is gone, and the Zhou State has become a small country, and it was finally destroyed by the Qin State. ”

Xie Qin thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember this anymore. ”

Xu Huan said: "It's normal that you don't have an impression, you won't deliberately mention this kind of trivial matter in the history books." ”

"A trivial matter?" Xie Qin asked in surprise, "can this also be considered a trivial matter?"

"Isn't it small?" Xu Huan asked rhetorically.

"The State of Zhou has been destroyed, isn't that just ......" Xie Qin pondered his words for a while, "...... Isn't it just that the Zhou Dynasty is dead? How can this be considered a trivial matter?"

"This is very confusing, even the history professor can't say it clearly. Xu Huan said leisurely, "If you want me to say, as early as the time of the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, the Zongzhou Dynasty has existed in name only, because since then, no one has mentioned any Great Zhou, they will only say that they are Zhao people, Qin people, Chu people, etc., etc., etc., and the Zhou Dynasty no longer even exists as a nominal dynasty." Didn't I say it, no one takes Zhou Tianzi seriously, do you know what it means not to take it seriously? I just don't mention it, as if there is no such person. If it weren't for the Qin State and the destruction of the Zhou State, those princes probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a country. ”

Xie Qin thought for a while and asked Xu Huan, "You mean to say that the Warring States only have princes, not monarchs?"

"Pretty much. Xu Huan said, "At that time, there were only three emperors and five emperors, there were no emperors, but there were two emperors of Qi and Qin, east and west......

"And then?" asked Sechin curiously.

Xu Huan said: "Hey, it's off topic to say this, this is off-topic," paused and said, "Hey, we've digressed for half a day." ”

Xie Qinxin said You still know, who told you that Mr. Xu's thinking is divergent, but this time it is a special case, because my curiosity for knowledge suddenly burned!

So Xie Qin said, "Please, Teacher Xu Huan!"

Xu Huan seemed to be stunned for a moment, paused for a few seconds, and then asked in a daze, "What?"

Xie Qin said: "You tell me about the two emperors of the East and the West!"

"What's there to talk about!" Xu Huan said, "Didn't you learn history in class?"

"Didn't you tell me?" Xie Qin looked innocent.

"Don't say that," Xu Huan said solemnly, "Didn't I say this was off-topic." ”

"I'm curious!" said Sechin exclaimed.

"You ......"

Xu Huan has been "you" for a long time, and he hasn't come up with anything from "you", he has long been helpless.

"Alas. ”

Xu Huan sighed.

"Okay, okay," he said resignedly, "I'll tell you about the Second Emperor of the East and West." In fact, this matter is very simple, that is, Qi and Qin are called emperors, note that this emperor is not an emperor, it is the word emperor, in ancient times, the emperor refers to the emperor of heaven, the emperor of God, that is, the gods of heaven, there is also a saying that the emperor of heaven and earth is called the emperor, that is, a person's moral cultivation has reached the realm of heaven and earth...... Of course, this is not what we want to discuss, in short, you just remember that the emperor of Qi Qin and the emperor do not mean the same thing. At that time, the main vassal states were all kings, and the two most powerful states among them were Qi and Qin. Everyone is king, although there are strong and weak, but nominally they are still equal. Later, Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin, persuaded the king of Qin to let him be called emperor...... Well, let's talk about it. ”

Xie Qin almost laughed out loud, this Xu Huan became very serious as soon as he entered lecture mode.

I heard Xu Huan say again: "This emperor, obviously not to say that King Qin is a virtue that touches the heavens and the earth, what do you want me to say......"

"Huh?" Xie Qin was stunned, "Why do you want you to say it, is this just your guess?"

"Yes...... Xu Huan said, "because this title is very confusing." ”

"Uh...... Well, you go ahead. Xie Qin said helplessly.

Xu Huan said: "In my opinion, this emperor is the emperor of the world, let's put it this way, the emperor of heaven is the supreme god of the sky, then the emperor of the human world should be the supreme ruler of the world, if according to Zhou Tianzi's saying that the ruler of the world is the son of the god...... The human emperor is the son of the emperor of heaven, and those kings are at most the sons of the gods, you see, in this way, isn't the human emperor the ruler of the human king?"

Xie Qin pondered the meaning of these words for a moment and said, "In other words, he is above all the princes at once. ”

"That's right. Xu Huan agreed.

"You continue. Xie Qin nodded and said.

Xu Huan continued: "At that time, Wei Ran persuaded the King of Qin to be the emperor, and the King of Qin pondered for a while and came up with a bad move: let the Qi State also be the emperor!"

"Wouldn't there be two supreme rulers?" asked Sechin.

"yes. Xu Huan said, "The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State didn't have the idea of being the emperor at all, they just thought about it, and then went to pit the Qi State." ”

"This pit...... Where do you start?" asked Sechin.

Xu Huan said: "Let me ask you, if you were one of the princes of the Warring States, would you allow the other prince to claim to be the boss of all of you?"

"This ......"

Xu Huan said quickly: "In other words, someone in the class suddenly jumps out to be the father of the whole class, what will you do?"

Xie Qin replied without hesitation: "Cut him up." ”

There was a crisp sound of "popping" over there, and it seemed that Xu Huan was clapping his hands.

"Isn't this the end of it," Xu Huan said, "You are like this, let alone those princes." Frankly speaking, being the emperor is an act of looking for a draw. ”

"Well," Xie Qin nodded, "I fully understand. ”

Xu Huan said: "Then, the king of Qin sent someone to find the king of Qi and persuaded the king of Qi to be the emperor, Qin and Qi are one in the west and the other in the east, Qin is the western emperor and Qi is the eastern emperor, and the king of Qi is also a great joy, commonly known as the middle two, and he actually agreed." But he was not stupid, when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and then he heard persuasion and agreed with other countries to remove the emperor's name and attack Qin together, but Qin also gave the emperor's name, and the countries lost their enemies, and tore each other apart, and the matter of calling the emperor was over. ”

"Eh......" Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, how could he come up with such a finale?

But he thought about it, reality is reality after all, how can it be so magnificent.

Xu Huan said again: "In short, this is an action carried out by the insidious Qin State to pry the Qi State of the Second Middle Rank, in order to let the Qi State claim the emperor and spoil the relationship with the Eastern States, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the Qi State. ”

"Well, I see," Sechin nodded, "I see. ”

"It's good that you understand," Xu Huan sighed softly and asked, "Can I go on?"

"Oh, of course!" said Sechin.

"Hmm......" Xu Huan paused for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about what he had just said, and after a while, he said aloud, "In short, the nature of the Spring and Autumn Period is different from that of the Warring States, the Spring and Autumn Period can also be said to be a warlord melee in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Warring States Period is just like its name, it is completely a melee between countries." And all this happened precisely because of the result of Zhou Tianzi's self-destruction of the Great Wall. Also, the self-destruction of the Great Wall by Zhou Tianzi I am talking about is not the matter of the three families dividing the Jin Dynasty and the Tian clan to the Qi dynasty, but also the earlier landmark event of stepping into the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from the Western Zhou Dynasty. ”

"King Ping moved east to Luoyi?" Xie Qin asked.

"Well," Xu Huan asked rhetorically, "what caused King Ping to move east to Luoyi?"

This kind of common sense didn't even need to be thought of, Xie Qin replied without thinking: "The princes of the Beacon Fire Opera. ”

"That's right!" Xu Huan said appreciatively, "Brother Lingsheng, it seems that your head is no longer a slurry!"

I...... I'll just think you're complimenting me.......

Xie Qin secretly rolled his eyes.

Xu Huan said: "King You of Zhou is fortunate to be pampered, the princes of the Beacon Opera smile for the beauty, and the princes are untrustworthy, resulting in the invasion of the dog Rong and no one to save it, the Hojing fell, the King of You died, and the King of Ping moved east to Luoyi." ”

"Yes. Xie Qin nodded, Xu Huan's description was similar to that in a history textbook.

Xu Huan said: "Among them, King Zhou You's dishonest princes are one, and the other is the problem of King Ping. ”

"What's wrong with King Ping?" asked Sechin.

Xu Huan said: "King Ping was originally the crown prince, but King You favored Bao Xi and wanted to make Bao Xi's child the crown prince, King Ping, who was still the prince at that time, and King You's father-in-law, Shen Hou, united together." Among them, there is a public case, and it is said that it was Shen Hou who attracted the dogs. ”

“...... It seems that there is such a saying. Xie Qin said.

"If this is true," Xu Huan said, "then King Ping is suspected of colluding with foreign clans and indirectly killing his father." ”

"Not bad. Xie Qin said.

Xu Huan said: "Collusion with foreigners, this is a big crime, I don't need to say more, as for killing my father, it is already against human ethics, let alone whether it is in line with Zhou etiquette." ”

"Definitely. Xie Qin said.

Xu Huan said: "A little further on, there is also an incident of 'Chinese riots', have you heard of it?"

Xie Qin thought for a moment and asked confusedly, "What kind of incident is this......?" Up?"

"No, it's not the common people of Zhou," Xu Huan said, "The people of the country refer to the people who live in the national capital, that is, the citizens of Hojing." ”

"Uh-oh," Sechin nodded, "Understood." ”

Xu Huan said: "At that time, the people of the country had the right to discuss state affairs, but at that time, King Zhou Li of the national army was messing around all day long, and the common people were not allowed, oh, the people, complaining, the people were holding back, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore, so they rioted, and King Li was scared away, and he didn't go back for the rest of his life, and died in the field." For a period of time in the future, Zong Zhou had no monarch, and the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao temporarily handled state affairs, calling it 'Zhou Zhao Republic'. ”
