With the cooperation of Qi, Qin and other warring states, the princes originally wanted to gather in Luoyi to overthrow the rule of Zhou and take off their title of co-lord of the world.
However, when we actually took action, we realized it was too late.
First, the princes from various countries who accepted Ji Bian's canonization changed their banners and respected the Emperor of Zhou.
He raised his sword and attacked his original suzerain country in the name of injustice, causing endless internal chaos and leaving no time for others to take care of him.
But when they freed up their troops and rushed to Luoyi, they found that Zhou State had become much stronger in just half a year.
The passes around Luoyang were so tightly guarded that they were unable to conquer them in a short time.
At the same time, the Protector God whom he had trained at home was so suppressed by the Ji King God of Zhou that he could not even lift his head.
What they didn't know was that while Ji Bian, the king of Zhou, was worshiping and refining the god Ji Wang.
Lingqing also secretly refined the power of rules he possessed into a "co-owner" authority and gave it to Ji Wangshen.
This authority is like the "Lord of the Spiritual Kingdom", able to control everything in the country that respects it as the master.
In this way, when the princes took the initiative to pay homage to Zhou and recognized it as a co-owner.
He had already put everything he had into Ji Bian's hands.
And the Protector God they cultivated will also be controlled by Ji Wang God.
It's just that the Zhou Kingdom has been weak for a long time, and even with this power, it still cannot fully exert its capabilities.
Therefore, Ji Bian could only use it to compete with the coalition forces of various countries, but could not make him change the sides of the protector gods of various countries.
"Grandpa, although the passes are not impregnable, they are guarded by the city guard beasts and soldiers.
It is enough to make it impossible for the coalition forces of various countries to easily attack Luoyi. "
In the palace of the Zhou royal family, Ji Yan, wearing a helmet and armor, stood in the main hall and reported to Ji Bian.
More than half a year has passed since Lingqing and Ji Yan discussed dividing the feudal lords.
During this period of time, Ji Bian had already quietly brought all the passes around Luoyi under Zhou's control.
And run it like an iron barrel.
"That's good."
Ji Bian nodded calmly.
At this time, his complexion was rosy and his face was radiant, and he did not look like a rotting wood at all.
He raised his head and looked at the hall above his head, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes.
"The longer we persist, the greater our hope will be."
As a young man, he had experienced life and death, and had seen through the inferiority and wealth. He originally wanted to remain anonymous and become an ordinary Chinese citizen.
Unexpectedly, his brother died too early and left no heirs.
Therefore, he was brought back and became the king of Zhou.
At first, he tried hard to solve the problem, but gradually he realized that no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.
Later I simply gave up.
But two years ago, a vassal state of Zhu State, the size of a sesame seed, came to ask for the seal.
But it was as if a huge boulder had been dropped into his stagnant water, causing ripples.
Now, a channel of living water has been dug out for him.
His ambition, which had been buried for decades, was rekindled.
'However, the hope of reviving the Zhou Kingdom must still be placed on Yan'er. '
He lowered his head, looked at Ji Yan who was becoming more and more provocative, and said.
"Yan'er, you will take charge of all the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Kingdom and try to delay as much time as possible.
At this time, many feudal kingdoms were conquering the east and west, constantly encroaching on the territories of each country and strengthening themselves.
When the princes outside can no longer bear it, it is time for us to fight back. "
"Bang!!!"
Ji Yan suddenly performed a military salute, and the iron armor on his body hit each other, making a loud noise.
Then he shouted loudly: "Here!"
When the princes' expedition to Zhou was blocked, many independent small countries also appeared in the country.
Taking advantage of the Zhou emperor's excuse to defeat his ministers, he began to attack cities and territories wantonly.
Just like the major vassal states encroaching on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
Now these small countries that were entrusted by Ji Bian are also constantly encroaching on the original countries to strengthen themselves.
When will the countries begin to withdraw their troops when they cannot bear the pressure at home?
That means they have completely lost in this sovereignty war.
The princes and kings also understand this truth.
But as the saying goes: once you make great progress, then it will decline, and after three times it will be exhausted.
When they were unable to enter Luoyi and overthrow the Zhou Dynasty at the first time, they were already passive.
For a moment, the coalition forces of the princes were in a dilemma, and the war situation became deadlocked.
In the Kingdom of Wei, an old man over fifty years old sitting on a carriage couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, why do you sigh?"
asked the young man driving next to him.
"Master is naturally sighing at this world of feuding princes. I don't know how long it will last."
The disciple walking beside the carriage also sighed softly.
"Alas, with the edicts passed down one after another by Emperor Zhou, dozens of countries were added to the territory of Wei overnight."
"The territory of Wei State is pretty good. I heard earlier that Chu State suddenly split into more than a hundred countries."
"At this time, it can be said that most of the energy of the countries has been involved in internal strife."
"Yes, if this were not the case, I am afraid that the coalition forces of various countries would have..."
One of the disciples suddenly felt something was wrong when he was halfway through speaking, and quickly kept silent.
And the entire team suddenly fell silent.
The Zhou royal family is the co-owner of the world, and it is understandable that it is within its power to enfeoff various countries.
But at this time, he directly bypassed his own vassal and conferred the title of vassal on his vassal. This was an act that violated etiquette and law.
These vassals jumped over the hierarchy and accepted the enfeoffment from the King of Zhou, and in turn attacked their master's house, which was also against etiquette and law.
However, it was originally the princes and kings who disobeyed the Zhou Dynasty first, and now they have allied to attack the Zhou Kingdom, which can be described as treason and unethical.
All three parties have thrown aside propriety, law, benevolence and righteousness, discarding them like worn-out shoes.
Is it true that today's world is in a state of irremediable destruction of etiquette and music?
Thinking about it, not only did they feel confused, but where was the way forward?
After a moment of silence, the disciple driving the car asked.
"Master, what should we do?"
"Transfer to the capital of Lingguo."
Facing the confusion of his disciples, the Master looked up at the sky and said quietly.
"This game of chess cannot be played now."
Although the disciples didn’t know what Daozi’s words meant and why they wanted to go to Lingguo.
But since the Master has told you so, then just do it.
At that moment, the direction of the convoy changed and headed towards Lingguo.
In the State of Chu, a man who once slept with his harp under the sycamore tree was playing the harp in a pavilion.
The servants coming and going around were constantly packing up some equipment for the long journey. When passing by the pavilion, they would subconsciously slow down and take a gentle step.
A maid was carefully walking through a portal holding a piece of lacquerware, when she suddenly saw the owner's friend appearing in front of her.
Just as he was about to salute, he saw him wave his hand casually, turned around and entered the door.
After a while, the music in the courtyard stopped, and the owner came out together with him.
After getting into the car, he said softly: "Let's go!"
"Pa~"
The driver cracked his whip, and the neatly packed convoy slowly headed north.
…
In Lingqiu City, Ling Qing looked at the Galaxy Map in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
