It is now the ninth year of King Kang's reign. Nearly five years have passed since the last feudal feudal era. The only Grand Duke who could check Ji Zhao passed away. The emperor sent an envoy to express condolences. The Grand Priest Ji Zhao, who acted on behalf of the king, was very quiet and stayed in the royal city.
But it caused great mental pressure on the princes of the world.
So far, four princes have been deprived of their titles and their kingdoms by him for using the emperor's rites and music. One of them was given a glass of poisonous wine to die by him, and the other two were demoted to common people. More princes were easily punished. An edict was issued to denounce the unfavorable campaign against the Yi and Di.
Ji Zhao believed that he had done nothing except going to Luoyi in winter to check the progress of the construction. He only entered the palace early every day and taught Ji Yun how to handle government affairs, meet with Wang Ji's affairs officers, and handle the audience of envoys from various princes.
Ji Yun has not yet been crowned, but he is already a quite strong young man. Ji Zhao's words and deeds, coupled with his own talent, already have the embryo of a wise king.
Ji, the legitimate daughter of Qi, came to Wangji to marry King Kang and officially became the queen of Zhou Dynasty.
With the marriage of King Kang, the atmosphere of the entire Zhou Dynasty changed. Although King Kang had not yet been crowned and could not officially rule, everyone felt that that day was close at hand. The transfer of political power has always been a troublesome matter, especially when the ministers were still in power. As for politics and kingship, there are only Yi Yin stories in history that are unknown to be true or false.
Seven years ago, when the four thieves started a rebellion, they lied that Ji Zhao had evil intentions and wanted to depose the king and establish himself. They even forced Ji Zhao to swear an oath in the ancestral temple. However, after so many years, no one among the princes and officials in the world believed that Ji Zhao He has the intention to usurp the throne.
But how to arrange the status of a powerful minister who has been regent for twelve years after returning to power is also a major event that cannot be ignored.
In these years, Ji Zhao had always kept a close eye on the princes. Thirty percent of the gains from the princes' conquests were collected by him into the royal treasury, which greatly enriched the strength of the central government of Zhou Dynasty.
There was a lot of commotion outside, but there was peace in the palace. Unlike his heroic father, Ji Yun had never commanded an army in battle. The princes of the four towns did not live up to Ji Zhao's expectations and support for them, and blocked all the Yi and Di. Outside of Wangji, this fertile land thousands of miles away has been very peaceful in recent years.
Besides handling state affairs, Ji Zhao's main energy was used to teach Ji Yun how to be a king.
"Uncle Wang, Marquis Shen was competing with Jia Bo for land. Marquis Shen reprimanded Jia Bo for being disrespectful to him. The following offended him. Jia Bo wrote a letter saying that Marquis Shen insulted him with a high title and called him a Rong dog."
Ji Zhao took the bamboo slips and asked Ji Yun: "Your Majesty, the number of princes has increased, and the territory has also expanded. In the future, there will be more and more frictions with each other. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Ji Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Both of them are at fault, and they should be reprimanded separately. The earl is in the middle, and the marquis is in the top. Jiabo disrespected the Marquis of Shen. Although it was an angry statement, the etiquette cannot be abolished. He should be severely reprimanded, so that He understands that a prince is a noble person and should not be insulted lightly. If there is a next time, he will be severely punished.
Marquis Shen humiliated Jia Bo and made him a Rong, which was completely unfounded. Although there were many Xirong people in Jia Bo's country, he himself was a clan member with the surname Ji, and he had paid tribute and property with all his heart in these years. What Marquis Shen said was harmful to the transformation of barbarians into Xia and was detrimental to national policy. If he obstructs the execution, it is really abominable, so he will be punished with three additional tributes next year. "
Ji Zhao was very satisfied with Ji Yun's handling and said with a smile: "What the king said is very true, and the handling of the two of them is also quite decent, taking into account etiquette and the reality of the country. Then let's handle this matter according to what the king said. .”
As Ji Yun gradually matured, Ji Zhao had gradually handed over some matters to him, and Ji Yun's performance was quite satisfactory to him.
As a young man, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, considers things thoughtfully, is able to listen to others' useful opinions, does not follow the crowd, and has his own persistence. As long as he keeps it up, he will be a wise king in the future.
Ji Yun was always very happy with Ji Zhao's praise, and took out another one from the pile of bamboo slips. It turned out to be a performance sent by Luo Hou.
Under Ji Zhao's promotion, his legitimate son has officially been granted the title of Luo Kingdom. The title of Luo Marquis is dispensable for his status as the chief regent and the head of the three princes.
"Uncle Wang, the Marquis of Luo reported on the construction progress of Luoyi. Most of the city's main body and palaces have been built. According to the current progress, people can gradually move in to enrich Luoyi."
In this era, the newly built city was not popular, so the emperor naturally could not live in it immediately. He had to move his subjects into it first to nourish their energy.
"Five years to build and five years to nourish, then order all the vassal states to move their residences to Luoyi to enrich the population."
[Luoyi is built. This great city will shine for thousands of years in the future history. You have obtained the Xuan-level prop - the God Talisman, and your luck points have increased. 】
Ji Yun rubbed the bamboo slip and asked softly: "Uncle Wang, you once told me about the strategy of dividing Shaanxi and governing it. You said that when the chaos in remote areas cannot be stopped, trusted ministers and clan members can be sent to take charge. Now the eastern princes There were frequent wars with Dongyi, and some princes were even scolded for not having time to pay homage to the emperor. Is Luoyi the place that Uncle Wang chose for himself to divide Shaanxi?"
Ji Zhao paused and looked at Ji Yun. The young emperor's facial features were somewhat similar to those of King Wu. He had a handsome face, black hair and black eyes, a heroic appearance, and a kind heart. He actually guessed that Luoyi was his choice. He even made up a reason for his exit.
Ji Zhao smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty's guess is right. In more than two years, the King will be crowned as pro-government, and Bang Zhou will be completely handed over to the King. Naturally, the old minister's responsibility as regent will be relieved of his duties.
Luoyi lacked popularity, so I went to nourish the king's energy.
In addition, the eastern princes have successfully conquered Dongyi in recent years, and their strength has expanded rapidly. The Qi State obtained the land of sea salt two years ago and is quite wealthy. It is already a big country three to five hundred miles away. I am worried that some people will invade Luoyi Wangji. Land, you can feel more at ease when you look at them. "
When Ji Yun heard that it was just as he had guessed, he said anxiously: "Uncle Wang, you can continue to stay in Haojing. The position of Dazai will still be held by you. I can also ask you about the government if I have something to do. Then Luoyi will build a new city How can a saint live in this city, which is so cold and cold?"
Ji Yun lost his father when he was young, and only Ji Zhao stayed with him. He worked day and night to take care of national affairs for him, and taught him how to do it. He was loyal and had no desire to return power to him.
Although Ji Zhao has been influenced by him over the years and can be said to be decisive in killing, he is still a kind-hearted person in nature, and naturally he does not want Ji Zhao to leave Haojing like this.
Ji Zhao was no longer young. He spent all his efforts to stabilize the newly born Zhou Dynasty. It was extremely difficult to maintain the system of the emperor and the princes. It was necessary to keep the blades of the princes sharp and prevent their blades from turning inward.
Hearing Ji Yun's request to stay, Ji Zhao was a little relieved. It was worth his efforts over the years and he finally did not hand over a white-eyed wolf. However, he still refused with a smile: "Your Majesty, in this huge state, only ministers cannot stay in Hao." Jing, if I don’t leave, I’m afraid there will be rumors the next day, calling you the puppet emperor.”
Ji Yun was silent, he was no longer the young boy who didn't understand anything. He naturally knew that Uncle Wang had suppressed the princes too hard in these years. Once he took charge, the princes in the world would definitely not let Uncle Wang control the king's government again.
Going to Luoyi can still exert the remaining heat and shock the eastern princes. Thinking of this and looking at the beautiful hair growing on Ji Zhao's temples, Ji Yun couldn't help but feel sad. She also understood what Uncle Wang often said, after all, this world belongs to everyone. In the world, if you insist on having your own way, everyone will inevitably betray their relatives.
…
In the twelfth year of King Kang's reign.
The princes from all over the world gathered in Haojing to congratulate the emperor for the coronation ceremony. Countless rare treasures were presented to the emperor. Almost everyone celebrated. Ji Zhao, who had been weighing on them, was finally leaving. They no longer had to live in fear. They never thought about the day when they would be scolded by an edict if they were not careful, and they would be exempted from punishment by offering their property.
The crowning ceremony and the pro-government ceremony ended in a grand ceremony, and the Zhou Dynasty ushered in its new ruler.
The next day, the emperor issued an edict to Ji Zhao, the former chief regent and political minister, to go out to control Luoyi. The title of grand prime minister remained unchanged, and he still had the same etiquette as the three princes. He was also given the title of "premier of the king's order for military and state affairs", ranking above the princes of the four towns who were ordered by the king. The power of princes in terms of temperance.
Faced with this appointment from the emperor, the eastern princes were really miserable, and the other three princes couldn't help laughing.
Nowadays, the state of Qi still has the princes in the east, and it is also the largest country in the east. Thanks to the benefits of sea salt, it is very rich, with a population of more than 500,000, ranking first among the countries, and it is quite powerful.
The two countries of Qi and Luo are related to each other. In recent years, the two countries have also jointly conquered the Dongyi tribe, but they were all led by Qi. Now that Ji Zhao is in charge of Luoyi, he will definitely suppress the development momentum of Qi and let others The vassal states can also benefit from the conquest process and maintain the balance in the east.
Outside the city of Haojing, the banners were hunting. The Third Division of the Emperor followed Ji Zhao and arrived at Luoyi to station on the spot and became the army stationed in Luoyi. Ji Yun came in person to see Ji Zhao off. He held his hand rather reluctantly and said: " Uncle Wang, you are the saint of Zhou Dynasty and the pillar of the sky. You must take care of yourself when you leave town this time and deliver letters to Haojing. If I have any unresolved military and state affairs, I have to ask Uncle Wang about the government."
Hearing this, Ji Zhao smiled and patted Ji Yun's hand and said: "The king's celestial appearance has the appearance of an ancient sage king. He will surely prosper our country and prosper our clan. When I see the late king after my death, I can speak openly and live up to the late king's entrustment." "
Historians and painters recorded this scene. Since the Three Kings and Five Emperors, has there been any pair of monarchs and ministers who have greater trust and affection than each other?
A loyal minister like Ji Zhao was entrusted by the late king to entrust him with the task. Within twelve years, he gained all the power in the world and returned it to the king. How many of them can be found in the history books?
He did not suspect the ministers who once served as the regent, but also gave him generous rewards. Shouldn't such a benevolent monarch be loyal to the death?
[Your family's political credibility has increased. 】
Sure enough, the system prompt sounded as expected. In the past eight years, as more and more people believed that he would not usurp the throne, and Luo Hou also kept his promises, this prompt sounded from time to time.
Political credibility is an extremely precious thing, especially when the ancients attached great importance to it. In later generations, the old Sima thief swore on Luoshui and completely destroyed the political credibility of the Sima family.
Ji Zhao will never let his family lose political credibility. He wants everyone in the world to subconsciously believe that the Luo family will never become king!
It is not easy to achieve this, but it is not very difficult either. As long as the Luo family heads in the past generations remain loyal to the emperor and serve the country even when they can usurp the throne, they will accumulate huge political credibility from generation to generation and create inertia in the thinking of the world. , coupled with system props, can at least eliminate most of the monarch's suspicions.
Following Ji Zhaodong's departure, in addition to the Third Division of the Emperor, there were also many subjects of Wang Ji. These people would be the first batch of people in Luoyi, and people would continue to migrate from Wang Ji and the surrounding vassal states in the future.
Ji Zhao didn't know how big Luoyi was in history, but now the Luoyi he presided over the construction is the most majestic city in the world. The city is tall and broad, with a moat outside the city, and the water of Yiluo is poured into it as a wing protection. In this Era, any enemy who wants to conquer this city will face despair.
Ji Zhao, who came to Luoyi, did not rule with high pressure as the princes expected, but rather casually beat Qi Hou. In two years, the princes of the four towns will be rotated according to the king's orders. Ji Yun, who is in charge, will use both kindness and power. Hou will definitely not get this job.
Ji Zhao stayed in Luoyi every day, writing about his experience in governing the country, an in-depth explanation of Zhou rites, subsequent adjustments to the enfeoffment system, and how to maintain the emperor's majesty and strength advantage over the princes.
Ji Yun handled government affairs skillfully, and the development of the princes was generally smooth. Except for a few princes whose capitals were captured by the Yi and Di, most of the princes could at least ensure their own safety. The strength of the entire state was rapidly expanding, and the emperor collected money from the princes. Tributes such as money, grain, salt, and silk even filled the treasury.
The feudal system achieved great success. When the feudal system was established in the first and fourth years of King Kang's reign, the map was still dot-shaped city-states, but now it is a country.
Ji Zhao looked at the changes in the land and felt like playing a coloring game. It's a pity that no one understands this kind of joy.
In the seventeenth year of King Kang's reign, Ji Zhao knew that his life had come to an end and he would officially become the ancestor of the Luo family.
He watched his funeral in nothingness.
The three princes supported the coffin, the marquis cleared the way, and the emperor's army escorted Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao was buried next to King Wu of Zhou's mausoleum.
Ji Yun said to the important ministers: "The king entrusted Uncle Wang to him before his death, and it was a big mistake for me. For seventeen years, Uncle Wang worked hard and became ill from overwork before he died today. He was a minister of the late king, how could I treat him with the etiquette of a minister?" What about him?
The sages once said that a saint who has the virtues of a king but does not occupy the throne is called a "prime king".
Uncle Wang had the ability to navigate the heavens and the earth, so he was given the posthumous title of 'Wen' and was buried beside the late king with royal rites as a reward for his contribution to the king's affairs for the past twelve years. This is what a few people can do. "
[He was granted the title of King Su, and was buried with the royal rites. He was given the posthumous title of "Wen". You obtained the Xuan-level prop - the Thousand Miles Talisman. 】
The system prompt appeared again, the achievement was reached, luck points and props were distributed one by one, Ji Zhao opened his attribute panel, and great changes had taken place on it.

The Thousand Miles Talisman has many wonderful uses. It can be used to escape after defeating the enemy, or it can be used to assassinate the king. It is an irresistible magical object, and it is worthy of being a precious item above the yellow-level props.
The attribute card mainly prevents the descendants from being too unworthy, and can be promoted to the level of an ordinary famous official, which at least ensures the maintenance of the family.
Putting away the attribute panel, Ji Zhao no longer paid attention to the real world and quietly felt the continuous growth of his luck points.
