In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the princely states merged with each other, and within the princes, the struggle between the Qing and Gong clans continued, and by the early warring states period, the land of China basically formed a powerful country of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin to compete and dominate, known in history as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States". However, the situation in the Warring States period was that in addition to the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", there were other weak princely states, of which Weiguo was one of them.
From 230 BC when the State of Qin attacked Korea and launched a war of annihilation, to 221 BC, the ten years ended the situation of more than 500 years of feudal strife since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi were destroyed in turn, and the Qin Dynasty with centralized monarchy was established, except for the Wei Dynasty, which was earlier divided by the Zhou Dynasty, until 209 BC, when Qin II deposed the Wei Junjiao as a Shuren, and the Wei Dynasty was thus extinct.
Qin unified the world and left the wei country alone in name only
According to the "History of Wei Kang's Uncle Family", Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Huo were selfish and instigated the rebellion of the Yin people led by Wu Genglu's father on the grounds that "suspecting that the Duke of Zhou was not conducive to becoming a king", that is, the "Rebellion of the Three Prisons". At the behest of King Cheng of Zhou, the Duke of Zhou "Xingshi Cut Yin" and finally put an end to the "Rebellion of the Three Prisons", "killed Wu Genglu's father and Uncle Guan, and released Uncle Cai", and "took Wu Geng's Yin Remnant people to seal Uncle Kang as the Wei Jun, juhe and Qijian Old Shang Ruins".
According to the "History of Wei Kang's Uncle Family", although the Wei state was an earlier vassal state of the Ji Zhou Dynasty, by the time of Wei Zhaogong, "the Three Jin Dynasties were strong, and Wei Ru was like a small marquis, belonging to it". In the sixteenth year of The Marquis of Weicheng, Wei Guo "more degraded the Marquis", and in the fifth year of the Marquis of Wei, "more derogatory title Yue Jun, unique Puyang".
Qin merged with the Six Kingdoms, ending the division of the princes, but leaving only one city to defend the country, until Qin unified the Six Kingdoms and ruled the world. For thousands of years, there have been many opinions about the existence of the Weiguo alone after the unification of the Qin. "Historical Ni Shu" believes that this move has the meaning of Qin witnessing the change and rise and fall of the dynasty with the senior princely state of Ji Zhou, that is, Qin from a vassal of Zhou to a county to rule the world, compared to the division of princes, Qin is better than Zhou.
The State of Qin unified the world, and the King of Qin was the emperor
First, although there are many recorded princes with the surname of Ying, only one of them has succeeded
The Ji Zhou Dynasty arose in the west, and together with the Yin clan, it was the yin shang princely state, and now the Wei state is the only remaining princely state of the descendants of Ji Zhou, and it is of great significance to witness the rise and fall of the Yin surname.
According to the "Gangjian Yizhi Record Volume II Xia Ji", the descendants of the Yin clan had a person named Fei Chang who "saw the second day coming out of the east, and the flame was shen in the west", so he judged the situation and submitted to Shang Tang. The descendants of the Yin clan returned to Shang Tang, repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and gradually became the important vassals of the Shang after Zhongyan, and became a prince of the party, and the "History of Qin Benji" records, "Since Tai Peng, after Zhongyan, sui has meritorious service, to zuo Yinguo, so the surname of Yin is more prominent, so it is a prince."
When Qin was in Zhongyan's grandson Zhongxiao, he had a son named Xiao Lian. Evil came and went, and at this time, Yin Shang was ruled by King Huan. Evil comes strongly, incorruptibility and goodness run, and father and son serve the king of Shang with courage. When King Wu of Zhou was cutting down the forest, evil lai was killed. At that time, Xiao Lian, who was quarrying stones for the King of Shang in the north, learned of the news of the overthrow of Yin Shang and the killing of king of Shang, so he built an altar in Huo Taishan to pay tribute to King Yin, and was buried here after his death.
In addition to evil, another son of Gong Lian, Ji Sheng, survived, and the Li Lian family was able to multiply. Later, Ji Sheng's son Meng Zeng was favored by King Cheng of Zhou, and was then known as Zhaogao Wolf. Meng Zeng (also known as the wolf of Zhaogao) gave birth to a son, Heng Father, who in turn gave birth to a father.
Although The Evil Laige was killed by King Wu of Zhou, his descendants were able to reproduce. Later, the descendants of the Evil Laige family took the surname zhao by virtue of their father's favor of Zhao Cheng.
King Xiao of Zhou for three years, "the king ordered the lord Ma Feng and Wei between". The person mentioned here who raised horses for the Zhou royal family was called Feizi, a descendant of evil Laige. Fei Zi concentrated on raising horses for the Zhou royal family, and brought good results, "Ma Da Fan". Because of his merits in raising horses, Fei Zi was made a "vassal prince of Zhou Xiao, Yi Yu Qin, and empress dowager". Feizi was the founding father of the Qin state, which was later known as one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".
In order to save the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, King Xiao of Zhou decided to revive it, and the non-son raising of horses was one of them
When Qin Xianggong, the lord of the qin family, broke the pickaxe and killed King You of Zhou. When the Zhou Dynasty was in danger of survival, Qin Xianggong keenly seized the opportunity and immediately led his troops to The "King of Qin" in Hojing, and participated in the "Rescue of Zhou, Pingrong" together with Marquis Wen of Jin and Duke Wu of Wei.
Save the soldiers and horses of Zhou Pingrong
Successive masters of Qin have always paid close attention to the "international situation" and have never missed a single opportunity. After Duke Xiang of Qin saddled the Zhou royal family, he intended to gain more political benefits, and sure enough, after king Ping of Zhou moved east to Luoyi, he not only "ordered Qin Xiang to be a prince", but also was "given the land of Qi and Feng", achieving a huge leap in the history of Qin's development.

2. Witnesses to the first princes
"History Ni said" believes that although the Wei state is small, and it has long been subordinate to the Three Jins, Qin destroyed Wei, but it has not reached Wei, which can be understood as that because of "Inuyasha breaking the pickaxe to save Zhou" and "Zhou Ping King moved east to Luoyi", Wei Guo was one of the participants at a critical moment in the history of Qin's development, and now that Qin has unified the world, Wei Guo "should not give in".
According to the Gangjian Yizhi Records Volume III Zhou Ji, after Inuyasha broke the pickaxe capital, "the Generals Marquis Wen of Jin, Duke Wu of Wei, and Duke Xiang of Qin rescued Zhou and Pingrong". After Duke Xiang of Qin saddled the Zhou royal family, he intended to gain more political benefits, and sure enough, after king Ping of Zhou moved east to Luoyi, he not only "ordered Qin Xiang to be a prince", but also was "given the land of Qi and Feng", achieving a huge leap in the history of Qin's development.
According to the "Gangjian Yizhi Record Volume III Zhou Ji", after the King of Zhou Ping moved east to Luoyi, in addition to the Duke of Qin Xiang, other participants were also rewarded, namely "Marquis of Fengwei and Wei Gong", and the title was raised by one level; "Marquis of Xijin".
King Ping of Zhou rewarded the meritorious princes
Weiguo was a princely state of the Ji Zhou Dynasty, and it was founded earlier, and at the time of the Warring States, it existed in the cracks of the princely powers with negligible strength, and it was most appropriate for them to "share" the glory of Qin.
