King Zhou You, who loved the beauty and praised him, did not hesitate to light the beacon fire to ask the princes for help only for Bo Touya to smile, and when Inuyasha really attacked, the princes no longer rescued, and King Zhou You ended up with a ruined country and a family and a different head. Because of the absurd behavior of King Zhou You, the Zhou royal family gradually declined, and the princes took advantage of the opportunity to make waves, standing up from time to time to challenge the status of Zhou Tianzi, and at the same time competing to fight for the position of overlord. "The Zhou Dynasty is weak, the princes are weak, Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin are great, and the government is governed by Fang Bo", why was King You of Zhou stupid enough to mislead the country because of a woman, and how did the princes seize this rare opportunity to turn around and become the master?
1. When the monarch is destroyed, the princes are strong
King Zhou You's fall was not because of the "Princes of Beacon Theatre", but it had something to do with his own stupidity and praise. Because of his special love for the beautiful Concubine, King You of Zhou deposed the original queen Shen Hou and Crown Prince Ji Yiusu, and established Hera as queen, and Ji Bofu, the son born of Hera, was made crown prince, and also took action against his own son Ji Yiusu. What King Zhou You did not expect was that Shen Hou's father, Shen Hou, was also the lord of a country, how could he be a man who swallowed his anger. Seeing that his daughter and grandson were suffering from this, Shen Hou united with the Kingdom of Sui and the Inuyasha of the West to attack the Youwang, "then kill the Yuwang Lishan, and capture the Yu king". The kingdom could not be left alone, so Marquis Shen also supported his predecessor Crown Prince Ji Yiusu to succeed him, that is, the King of Zhouping.
King Zhou Ping's Tianzi seat was quite unstable, seeing that the capital of the country was invaded by Inuyasha, and at the time of serious natural disasters, and most crucially, there was another Zhou Tianzi, the King of Zhou, forming a situation of "two kings standing side by side", which provided an excuse for king Zhou Ping to move the capital. The ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, and the eastward migration of The King of Zhouping is obviously more harmful than beneficial. Because the capital was moved this time without the migration of the people of Feng and Erjing, the King of Zhou Ping could only rely on the help of qin, Jin, Zheng and other states by proposing conditions, and from then on, the Zhou royal family almost fell under the control of the princes. At the same time, because the kingdom was breached, the prestige of Zhou Tianzi declined, and more and more princes disobeyed the Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Tianzi became more and more a decoration.
Second, the revenge of killing the father, the beginning of the little bully
If you want to talk about the blood feud against Inuyasha, King Zhou Ping ranks first, then Zheng Wugong is second. The Shen state prince Shen Hou joined forces with the state of Jian and Inu Rong to attack King You of Zhou, and the famous Duke Huan of Zheng also died in the rebellion. The Zheng people were grateful for the merits of Zheng Huan, so they jointly supported the establishment of the Tutu succession, which was for Zheng Wugong. Zheng Wugong not only joined forces with Qin and Jin to defeat the invading Inuyasha, but also succeeded his father Zheng Huangong because of his meritorious escort to King Ping of Zhou, "Zheng Wugong and Zhuang Duke were the secretaries of the Ping King". With his father's fame and the support of Zhou Tianzi, Zheng Wugong, on the one hand, actively developed the economy, and he reused those who could do business, knowing that after the Zhou Shang destroyed them, they were condemned as hereditary slaves; on the other hand, he actively launched a war of annexation, annexing the surrounding small countries and cities, "Shiyi is called 虢, 郐, 鄢, 鄢, 绛,補, Dan, Yi, 弢, Li, Xinye"
Just when Zheng Wugong was ambitiously implementing the "Strategy of Wu Gong", King Ping of Zhou panicked, he was afraid that Zheng Guo would threaten his position after becoming bigger and stronger, so he withdrew his previous reward, and Zheng Wugong had to change places to establish a new capital. However, the King of Zhou Ping was already unable to stop Zheng Guo's advance, "Former Hua Hou River, Right Luo Zuo Ji, Main Qian, Qi and Eat Qin, Huan", Zheng Wugong laid the foundation for the later Zheng Guo's small hegemony. Interestingly, Zheng Huangong and Zheng Wugong were the zhou chambers, then Zheng Zhuanggong was "trespassing", not only did not fear the Zhou royal family's crusade against the coalition army, but also defeated Wang Shi, the general Zhu Yan shot an arrow in the shoulder of the Zhou king, and the world lightly relived the Zhou royal family and weighed Zheng Guo.
3. Marquis Qin of Wen, Qiu Qiu Zhou Room
Marquis Wen of Jin was named "Qiu", because when he was born, his father Marquis Mu of Jin was ordered by King Xuan of Zhou to accompany the king in his crusade against Tiaorong, and as a result, he was defeated, and Marquis Mu of Jin was deeply ashamed of this battle, so he named his eldest son "Qiu" to show that he did not forget the shame of Tiaorong. Later, because the ho capital was in ruins, the King of Zhou Ping wanted to move the capital to Luoyi, but the royal family was weak and unable to complete the capital move, at which time the Marquis Wen of Jin stood up and joined forces with Zheng Wugong and Qin Xianggong to jointly escort King Zhou Ping to complete this eastward move. After King Ping of Zhou established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Marquis Wen of Jin, like the former Zhou Gongdan, greatly displayed the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty and became a hero in recreating the Zhou Dynasty. King Ping of Zhou did not stingy either, and gave The Marquis wen of Jin "秬鬯一卣; 彤弓一,彤矢百, Lu Bow 1, Lu Ya 100, and horses four horses", and wrote "The Fate of Marquis Wen" to encourage Jin Wenhou.
In the twenty-first year of the reign of Marquis Wen of Jin (760 BC), Duke Wen of Jin killed the King of Zhou, who was supported by the Yu Dang of Zhou You, ending the ten-year-long situation of the two kings of the Zhou royal family and stabilizing the situation in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. These allowed Jin Wenhou not only to receive material rewards, but also to the right to requisition and land development that he valued more. "Giving Qin and Jin the land of Qi and Qi", Marquis Wenhou of Jin vigorously expanded the territory of the Jin state in the Fenshui Valley under the recognition of King Ping of Zhou, laying the foundation for the future Jin state to move independently in the Central Plains.
Fourth, the counterattack is the hou, the beginning of the king's way
The ancestors of the Qin state were once nobles of the Shang Dynasty, and they were not trusted by the Zhou royal family because of their foolish loyalty to the King of Shang, until the ancestor Feizi was awarded the title of Qin land because of his meritorious horse breeding, and became the first prince of the Qin state, known as Qin Wei. In the year 821 BC of Qinzhuang, King Xuan of Zhou summoned five brothers of the Duke of Qinzhuang, "with seven thousand soldiers, to make The Western Rong and break it", and the King of Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, "so that after restoring Qin Zhong, and his predecessor Daluo Di Dog Qiu, he was made the Grand Master of the Western Tribulation". When he arrived at the Duke of Qin Xiang, Xi Rong and Shen Hou cut down zhou and killed the Youwang Li shanxia. "And the Duke of Qin Xiang saved the Zhou, fought very strongly, and had meritorious service", coupled with the merit of escorting the King of Zhou Ping to move the capital, the Duke of Qin Xiang was given the title of prince, and the State of Qin finally ranked from the vassal states of Western Zhou to the princes.
Seeing that Zheng Wugong and Marquis Wen of Jin both had rewards, Qin Xianggong's rewards naturally could not fall. Thinking about it, King Ping of Zhou used the titles of the princes and the strategic land of the Rong people to open a blank cheque to Qin Xiang, "Rong has no way, and has invaded the land of Qi and Feng, and Qin can attack and expel Rong, that is, there is land." These two things are exactly what Qin Xianggong and Qin Guo need, "Xianggong is the first country, and the gift of employment with the princes is to use three colts, yellow cattle, and sheep, and worship god Xiqi." However, the war against Rong and Di was not so smooth, Qin Xianggong sent troops every year, failed every year, and once hit the fief qishan, it was difficult to keep. Although Qin Xianggong's long-cherished wish could not be realized, the foundation he created laid a solid foundation for the Qin state to later be able to annex the world.
