Ji Zhao was once curious about how the system allowed him to survive the long and lonely history, but unexpectedly it gave him a huge surprise. From the moment he entered the void space, the increase in luck points was not just a numerical change on the attribute panel. It will also provide him with a Xuanhuang Qi, and he can use the Xuanhuang Qi to strengthen his soul. In the process, he cannot feel the change of time at all.
This incident made him think that the last Easter egg of the game was to become a god after completing the game. In reality, it might not be a joke. This speculation made Ji Zhao become even more serious.
Moreover, the system will actively push time forward, just like pulling a progress bar. If no major event occurs, decades may have passed in a few moments.
The system prompt sounded again, and Ji Zhaoyouyou woke up and began to understand the key events of these years.
According to the improved enfeoffment system he formulated, there would be no problem for the Zhou Dynasty to operate stably for a hundred years.
Since his death, the previous two generations of emperors have always abided by the system he established. The Zhou Dynasty has been running smoothly for sixty years. The Zhou rites have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The hierarchy of emperor - princes - ministers - officials - scholars - common people is very stable. Running.
When the emperor's edict came, most of the princes obeyed the order obediently. The emperor was able to make the princes attack each other and pacify the rebels without even using a single soldier.
But since the fourth generation emperor came to power, he wanted to do something on his own. Unfortunately, he destroyed the original system but failed to establish a new one. He only served as emperor for eight years before he died.
His eldest son ascended the throne and became the fifth emperor of Zhou, named Ji Wan.
Regarding this emperor, Ji Zhao felt that he could not even catch up to one thousandth of King Wu, a typical waste.
…
A fully armored army drove a chariot and escorted a luxury carriage out of Luoyi, heading towards the Luo Kingdom along the galloping road built over the years.
The owner of the carriage is the fourth generation Luo Hou, Luo Su. When he was born, Ji Zhao had regained consciousness. He was Ji Zhao's personally chosen successor.
Ji Zhao bestowed a blessing on him. This blessing caused his brother, the eldest son of the previous generation of Luohou, to fall from his horse and become lame, thus losing his right to inherit.
In fact, Luo Su's talent potential and growth attributes are much better than his brother's. After the upgraded and updated system, six-dimensional attributes have been expanded. After years of training, Luo Su's six-dimensional attributes are [Quan Dou: 91 (95); governing the country: 90 (96); governing people: 92 (95); command: 40 (42); force: 54 (62); military strategy: 46 (50), and the limits of talent potential are in brackets].
As a monarch who does not need to command troops, this six-dimensional attribute is extremely superior. With such excellent direct descendants, in order to earn enough luck, he can only sacrifice his great-great-grandson.
Now there have been some changes in the official positions of Bangzhou. Because Ji Zhao served as the Grand Priest, after Ji Zhao passed away, King Kang established three additional Dukes, namely the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Protector. These three high positions could not be held by non-gonghou, Luo Su as One of the most important princes with the surname Ji is the contemporary Taifu.
Since the emperor came to the throne, Luosu has been doing his best to maintain the operation of Bangzhou. He has a high level of power struggle. The opposition has become submissive after being punished by him several times. He is also good at governing the country and has the skills to control people. He can be sensitive. Aware of the problems in the royal court and choosing the right person to deal with them, his reputation has been extremely high over the years.
But he had a strong character, and the emperor was too stupid and incompetent, so he often contradicted him. This time, he was too disappointed with the emperor and kept admonishing him, so he gave up his official position and returned to Luo Kingdom, ignoring Wang Jizhi. thing.
Also traveling with him was Song Gongshuang, one of the emperor's assistant officials. The two of them were traveling together because Luo Su's wife was Song Gongshuang's cousin, so the two of them always kept advancing and retreating together.
Due to the relationship between their ancestors, the relationship between the Luo Kingdom and the old Yin and Shang Kingdom has always been tense.
Song Gongshuang was a wise man. He found that the Zhou Dynasty had been established for more than seventy years, but the Song State had never been able to integrate into the circle of princes surnamed Ji. This was not good for the Song State.
The root cause is that Zhu Ji is not clear about the attitude of the Song Dynasty towards King Wu and King Su's Eastern Expedition, but Song Gongshuang believes that although the Song Dynasty is an old people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the one who has enmity is the branch of King Zhou, and it has nothing to do with theirs. , if it were not for King Su, they would not be where they are today, so they began to seek contact with the big country named Ji, and Luo country was naturally one of the key targets.
The Luo State has always been married to the Qi State, but currently there is only one legitimate daughter of the right age in the Qi State, who is already married to the emperor. The remaining concubines are fine as concubines, but are obviously not qualified as the head wives.
So Luo Guo asked the prince of Qi to marry a daughter to maintain the marriage relationship between the two parties, and turned to Luo Su to find a suitable wife.
Zhou Li also stipulated that people with the same surname should not marry. Given the status of the Luo Kingdom, it was not easy to marry the legitimate daughter of a large country. So the two countries of Luo and Song hit it off and established this marriage relationship.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the carriage, with a solemn look in their eyes. Today's world is wary, which is not a big problem, but being warlike without the ability is a big problem.
People are self-aware, so Luosu never participates in wars. Whenever there is military affairs, he will say nothing and just prepare logistics and food. But today, when people are so happy about their achievements and they are self-willed, this is a huge disaster.
Luo Su really couldn't keep a calm mood. He was probably the most loyal prince in the whole country. He hammered hard and said in a hateful voice: "In the beginning, our ancestors established feudal kingdoms in order to protect the emperor's royal territory from being damaged by war. Through the worship system, we ensured that The emperor had enough financial resources to support the army, so that the emperor always maintained a military advantage over the princes and was able to deter those princes with evil intentions.
But the core of it is that the emperor must try to avoid directly participating in the war. Even if he wants to train the army, it is enough to send generals to lead an army on a rotational expedition.
Why must we lead a large army to conquer in person? This is a way to bring disaster. Once defeated, the emperor's majesty will be greatly damaged. Even if he wins, what benefits will he gain?
This foolish king is looking for death. Why did he drag hundreds of thousands of people to die with him? Once defeated and the country is shaken, how many people will die by then. The land given by God has not been fully grasped, and internal strife has begun. It is true. Unwise. "
Song Gongshuang was silent for a moment and sighed: "Chu has made many provocations and even arrogated the title of king. This king will definitely not tolerate it."
"snort!"
Luo Su snorted coldly and said: "Today is really the fault of the king and the princes of the Central Plains.
The former king treated the southern princes harshly, thinking that they were a barbarian country. Xiong Dun, the son of Chu, had great talents, conquered the southern barbarians and opened up the Xia. He should have been promoted to a marquis and given the king's orders to reward his achievements.
In the past, when King Su was in charge of the world, when he saw such wise men, he would not even have time to swallow his food. He would go out barefoot to ask the wise men what good strategies they had for governing the country.
But what did the late king do?
Xiong Dun responded to the imperial edict and had already participated in the alliance meeting of the princes, but the late king sent him to take care of the fire for worshiping heaven and did not allow him to participate in the formal alliance meeting. Is it what a holy king should do to humiliate a prince like this?
According to the late king, Gu Ye once made suggestions to the king, but he was perfunctory and prevaricated. Is this his attitude towards Zhou Zhongguo?
Chu Zi arrogated the throne, ignored the laws and annexed the surrounding countries, accumulated armor and soldiers, and had already broken through the rule that a small country can only lead one army. This is all the fault of the previous king and the current king!
Even if you want to conquer Chu, you can just order the princes to gather troops in Luoyi, why do you have to use the six armies of the emperor?
The emperor's most powerful weapons are his reputation and his great righteousness, but he only knows how to use weapons rashly, which shows that he has no sympathy for the people of the country in his heart, and he believes that God will not favor him. "
Facing the angry Luo Su, Song Gongshuang just sighed and tried his best to comfort him. Fortunately, Luo Su calmed down quickly and began to think about how to deal with the aftermath.
He had already determined that the emperor would lose this battle, and after a little calculation of what might happen, he said to Song Gong: "Brother, the emperor is determined to have his own way, ignorant of military affairs and willful, and there are flattering people like You and Ji around him. He is destined to be alone." This battle will be lost, but Luoyi must not lose. The state of our country is more important than the emperor.
The elder brother was ordered by the king to control the princes in the east. When he returned to the country this time, he summoned the princes. He signed the summons and sealed it. The prince of Qi came to contact him. If there were any changes, he could immediately attend to the king. "
"King Qin?" Song Gongshuang's voice suddenly became louder. He didn't expect Luo Su to have predicted the situation so poorly. He couldn't help but wonder: "The Sixth Army of the Emperor is a rare elite. Although Chu is strong, it is just a vassal state. I’m afraid there are only two armies at most, and the armor is impossible to compare with the Emperor’s six armies. Even if they are defeated, they will be able to retreat unscathed!”
Luo Su shook his head and said: "Luo State and Chu State have a close relationship. That Xiong Dun is a rare general in the world today. He has the courage to be unstoppable. His soldiers are all from the poor mountains and rivers. They are capable and capable." Fighting hard, wearing three layers of armor, being brave and fearless of death, he is the strongest army in the world.
I once heard that Xiong Dun led 3,000 soldiers to defeat the 50,000 Southern Barbarian tribes coalition head-on. I also heard that 8,000 soldiers of Huihou were wiped out by Xiong Dun's 3,000 soldiers in a single battle. How could such war gods be defeated by ordinary people?
As for the Emperor, even if he has a strong army in his hands, it is not easy to exert the three levels of strength, let alone the Sixth Army of the Emperor, which is several times more powerful than the enemy. The principle that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
The most frightening thing is that the emperor actually wants to cross the river to attack the Chu Kingdom. The battle of Luoshui, the ancestor of King Su, was near the river. Once the army is defeated in such terrain, the casualties will be huge. Even when crossing the river, if you are not careful, it will overturn. The danger! "
Luo Su's words were reasonable and reasonable. Song Gongshuang was convinced, and he couldn't help but start to figure out how much profit he could make from the possible changes that would happen next.
Ji Zhao watched this scene with great interest. Through understanding the previous events, he came to the same conclusion as Luo Su. He was a little curious about what his descendant would do in the future, and be a loyal minister of the emperor. , and is still a loyal minister of Bangzhou.
Ji Zhao has no plans to help his descendant yet. If a family head with such excellent six-dimensional attributes still needs help, he will be pessimistic about whether he can pass the level.
Luo Su was originally chosen to be the heir because an outstanding family leader could gain more luck points. Luo Su did not disappoint him. He has gained more luck points over the years than his father and grandfather combined in a lifetime. , when his life is over, the luck he can get must be very impressive. Although Ji Zhao mainly relies on the long flow of water, he will not refuse if he can suddenly become rich.
In fact, all generations of family heads can vaguely feel that their ancestors are not dead, or have really reached the sky. Sometimes they will pay attention to them, especially smart people like Luo Su, when faced with some things that have happened. Have deep doubts.
But because it was too bizarre and there was no response for too long, I kept it in my heart and kept it to myself. However, I was still much more cautious in my actions and did not dare to go beyond the rules set by many ancestors.
This is why Luo Su worked hard to maintain the authority of the emperor and ensure the authority of the central government of Bangzhou, because only in this way can the order of the entire world be maintained stable, and the Luo Kingdom can exist in this order for thousands of years.
Although Luo Su had some sympathy for Xiong Dun's experience, this kind of behavior that provoked the entire ritual and music system must be resolutely attacked, so he did not hesitate to contact other princes to form a coalition to deal with Xiong Dun. , knock down his arrogance, and then talk about other things.
Of course Luo Su didn't know that his ancestors were observing him. After traveling in a hurry, he and Song Gongshuang parted ways in the Song Kingdom. Instead of returning to Luo Kingdom first, they went straight to a city on the border of Qi Kingdom. Qi Marquis Lu Bai had already captured him. His letter arrived and was waiting for him there.
"uncle!"
As soon as he saw Lu Bai, Luo Su immediately shouted enthusiastically that his mother was Lu Bai's sister, and the two of them were uncle and nephew.
"You are also the head of a country, please be more steady." Lu Bai, the Marquis of Qi, was also very happy. The previous Marquis of Qi had very few heirs, only two of them, brother and sister, so they had a very good relationship. He asked Luo Su to sit down and asked: " Is your mother in good health?"
Luo Su picked up the warm wine and poured it for his uncle, and said: "Uncle, don't worry, my mother is in excellent health. I sent a letter a few days ago saying that she is making wine. She said that my father often drinks it when he is here. After the wine is brewed, I will give it to my uncle to taste."
Lu Bai couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "Okay, okay, I will definitely try it then. Tell me, what is the big event mentioned in the letter?"
Nowadays, the Marquis of Qi no longer serves in the palace, but focuses on developing the coast of the East China Sea. Over the past few decades, the strength of the Dongyi tribe has declined greatly. In terms of overall strength, it is far behind the princes. The Qi State has contributed a lot, but The news about Wang Ji was somewhat delayed.
Luo Su then explained the situation of Wang Jizhong to Lu Bai, and also told what he had discussed with Song Gong. King Qin's affairs must not be done without the Qi State. Since twenty years ago, the Qi State has completely become the eastern state. The most powerful country, the title of "By Order of the King" has been circulating between the Luo State and the Song State since then, and has never been given to the Qi State. However, as the most important in-law country of the emperor, the importance of the Qi State is beyond doubt.
Lu Bai's brows furrowed deeply. This incident had a great impact on him. He absolutely did not want anything to happen to the emperor. Among the princes in the world, the one who has the closest relationship with the emperor is the Jiang surnamed Lu family of Qi, even more than any other. Among the vassal states with the surname Ji, in the current order, the status of Qi State can almost be called the first among all states!
The same is true for the Song Dynasty. The foundation of their country's founding was the two kings and three kings of Bangzhou, so they would naturally instinctively maintain this system and political power that brought them benefits.
Without letting Luo Su wait any longer, Qi Hou quickly made up his mind and said: "Asu, you are right. Since it cannot be stopped, the funeral affairs must be properly handled and the situation cannot be allowed to escalate. Especially Luoyi cannot make any mistakes. After all, the princes in the west have always wanted the emperor to move back to Haojing, so we cannot give them this excuse."
Luoyi was originally built to monitor the old Yin and Shang tribes and to conquer Dongyi. Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty had been stable for decades. The Song Dukes of all dynasties treated the emperor respectfully, and the rest of the old Yin and Shang tribes migrated south, to Bihui. The country is still far to the south, a place that even the state and Zhou Dynasties don’t know what it is called.
As for the Eastern Yi, who were severely attacked by the princes, they had lost their threat to the barbarians in the west, north and south. The Quan Rong in the west had been fighting against the princes in the west for many years, and some princes had already petitioned the emperor to move their capital back to the west. In the capital city of Hao, concentrate all your efforts on dealing with Quanrong.
But at this time, the eastern princes were unwilling to let the emperor leave Luoyi. The capital was in the east, which proved that the east was the center of the world. Countless interests gathered here, and everyone could eat in buckets.
Moreover, the western princes met the emperor once every three years, while the eastern princes met once a year. It was easier to offer tributes and beauties, so the emperor naturally became close to the eastern princes.
After hearing his uncle's promise to join the alliance, Luo Su said cheerfully: "My uncle is wise. Song Gongshuang has the power to join the alliance with the princes. We have organized our troops to train in Qiyan to join the alliance. We will always pay attention to the war in the south. Once the beacon is ignited, we will wait for it." Immediately lead the army into Wang Ji to ensure the safety of Luoyi and the emperor."
Lu Bai understood the meaning of Luo Su's words. The main purpose was to ensure the safety of Luo Yi and the state of Bangzhou. As for the emperor's safety, it proved that he still had his destiny. If something happened on the way to escape, then There is nothing that can be done about it.
Ji Zhao laughed happily when he saw this scene. Resolutely abandoning those monarchs who are incapable and still like to command is the only way to save their lives.
The two reached an alliance, and Luosu was ready to leave for his country. The coalition of princes would naturally have a huge staff group. He did not understand military affairs, but the army could not be completely handed over to the hands of the allies, otherwise the battle would be over and the army would die. Empty.
After returning home, we need to bring back the generals stationed abroad, prepare the food and fodder for the expedition, and various supplies for the army. We also need to decide which army to deploy based on the surrounding situation. The passes guarded by some armies are very critical and cannot be touched lightly.
When Luo Su was negotiating with the Marquis of Qi, Song Gong was also very quick. After returning home, he immediately used his seal to send a letter of alliance to each vassal state.
In fact, in the past ten years, the princes have rarely held large-scale alliances. Being ordered by the king has become a tool to guard the princes and win the hearts of the princes. They usually only invite princes who are close to them to participate.
None of the princes who received the letter of alliance expected that Song Gongshuang would invite all the princes under his jurisdiction this time.
