After seeing the magnificent Zhanghua Terrace, Zijue returned to Huai'an, the state of Huai. When I woke up this time, in addition to seeing Zhanghua Terrace, known as the first palace in the Spring and Autumn Period, the other thing was that Wang Yong passed away.
This descendant of his was not very qualified, but he was lucky enough to have Sun Shuao help him. Not only did the Huai Kingdom not decline, but it became even more prosperous. Zijue sent two cloud cranes to bring him back.
Wang Yong was originally able to live two more years because he used the observatory several times.
Wang Yong passed away, and his son Wang Yue came to the throne. His posthumous title was: "Xuan", and he was the Duke of Huai Xuan.
Those who are saintly and good are called Xuan when they hear about it; those who are able to spread orders and virtue are called Xuan; those who exert their strength in all directions are called Xuan.
It is a pity that Wang Yong is not the son of destiny. Although he has done well and the luck of Huai Kingdom has increased rapidly, he has not been rewarded with items above the heaven level.
Wang Yue's attributes are worse than Wang Yong's. Even with the protection and blessing of the black bird, his attributes are very average.
[Wang Yue: Internal Affairs: 78, Strategy: 75, Strategy: 80, Commander: 78, Force: 81, Charm: 88. 】
Wang Sheng was the son of destiny at the beginning, which took up too much of the fate of the Huaiguo Duke, resulting in the attributes of the subsequent heirs being too poor.
Fortunately, there are some talents among the Dukes of Huai State, and Sun Shuao is still alive, so the strength of Huai State will not decline in the short term.
In order to prevent Qi and Chu from growing stronger, Wang Yong has been disrupting Qi and Chu over the years, causing unrest in Qi and Chu.
Qihou Pan died of illness and his son ascended the throne. However, before the funeral of Qihou Pan was over, his younger brother, another son of Duke Huan of Qi, Lu Shang, killed his nephew directly at the funeral, usurped the position of Qihou, and established himself as Qihou. Hou.
In the past few decades, the inheritance system of Qi State has almost changed from the succession of father to son to the succession of brothers. It is conceivable what kind of chaos Qi State has become.
The Chu State on the other side is not much better. Brothers kill brothers, sons kill fathers, and civil strife is also serious. Huai State has been using spies to participate in it for decades, adding fuel to the fire, so that now the strength of both Qi and Chu is declining. .
After Wang Yue came to the throne, he still used this system and continued to keep Qi and Chu in civil strife. However, when Huai turned his attention to Qi and Chu, Jin quietly rose at this time.
There was civil strife in the Jin government. After some fighting and fighting, Prince Chong'er returned to Jin with the support of Qin, defeated his nephew, and took the position of Marquis of Jin.
Zijue was surprised to see Jin's rapid recovery and rise in strength under the leadership of Chong'er. More importantly, he clearly felt that Jin's fortune was improving rapidly.
The Jin State is a big country, and its land and population exceed that of the Qi State and are on par with the Chu State. At this time, with the help of Bang Zhou's destiny, Jin's strength increased extremely astonishingly. Seeing this situation, Zijue immediately understood that this was the second backlash of Bang Zhou's destiny. If he didn't deal with it well, Huai Kingdom would be in trouble.
Zijue knew that Duke Wen of Jin was the second overlord after Duke Huan of Qi in his previous life. Now that the Duke of Jin has received the help of Zhou Tianming, he is expected to dominate the world soon and at the same time, he will come to deal with the Huai Kingdom. And because Jin State rose so fast, Huai State didn't take care of it for a while.
Seeing this situation, Zijue knew that he had to remind his descendants to avoid suffering a big loss.
Wang Yue slowly woke up from his sleep and had a very comfortable sleep. And when he was sleeping, he seemed to dream of his ancestor King Wen, who told him to go to the ancestral temple to worship. Thinking of this, Wang Yue immediately came back to his senses, quickly ordered people to change clothes, and then hurried to the ancestral temple.
Wang Yue asked people to guard outside the ancestral temple and prohibited anyone from entering. Then he opened the door and walked in.
In the center of the Huai Kingdom's ancestral temple is the statue of Zijue. Wang Yue walked into the ancestral temple, first offered incense respectfully, then knelt in front of the statue of Zijue and kowtowed: "My surname is Wang, the eleventh generation of Sun Yue, and I bow to my ancestors."
The next second, I saw the curls of green smoke gathering quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a shadow appeared in mid-air.
"Wang Yue, I have called you here because I have something important to tell you."
Wang Yue looked at Zijue excitedly. Although he already knew that his ancestors were always there, the shock he received after seeing it with his own eyes was completely different from hearing about it.
Like: "Please give me some instructions, ancestors."
"When the Yin and Shang Dynasties collapsed, I took the remaining people of the Yin Shang and fled eastward to Yan. The king of Yan did not listen to my words and did not help the country. He was trapped in the isolated city. In the end, I died and the country was destroyed. I took the remaining people south to Huai and established Huai. country."
"Since then, the Huai Kingdom has continued to this day, but our Huai Kingdom is different from Bangzhou after all. The countries of Bangzhou regard our Huai Kingdom as a thorn in their side. Now a new overlord has risen among Bangzhou."
"Old Ancestor, Qi and Chu are in civil strife. Their national power is declining and they are not strong enough to dominate. Jin's royal family is in chaos. Which vassal state has arisen?" Wang Yue was a little surprised.
"The Kingdom of Jin!" Zijue said: "Chong'er ascended the throne, and the luck of the Jin Kingdom improved. It has the qualifications to become a hegemon, and its power is even greater than that of Qi Huan."
Wang Yue knew very well the reputation of Duke Huan of Qi. If it weren't for Duke Wu Zhao of Huai State, he was the son of Huai State's destiny. With the help of a group of good ministers, he defeated Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Wu Zhao was the man who destroyed Wu in the south, conquered Zhongli in the west, and merged with Tan in the north, pushing the Huai Kingdom to its peak.
Duke Huan of Qi was able to gain the upper hand when facing Duke Wu Zhao. One can imagine his power. Moreover, even after several generations of civil strife, Qi is still a great country in the East. Now that the Jin State was actually stronger than the Qi State, Wang Yue suddenly felt a pressure.
"The situation in the world is becoming more and more treacherous and changeable. Even though Sheng'er and Yong'er suppressed it, Qi Chu is still strong. Now with the Jin Kingdom, the world is becoming more and more chaotic. You are a good boy, but you are a middle-aged man. If In other countries, you can still be a conservative king, but in Huai State, how can you deal with the power of the world?"
After hearing this, Wang Yue immediately said sadly: "Old ancestor, Yue is too stupid to bear the heavy responsibility of our ancestors. To protect my son's surname Wang, I really have no face to see my ancestor!"
"It's not your fault. We were originally going to be extinct from the Yan Kingdom. Now that we have changed our destiny against the will of heaven, we will naturally have to endure the backlash of destiny."
"The family has inherited an artifact of destiny. If the situation is crisis this time, use it to tide over the difficulties. It's just that the artifact is made by nature, and if it is controlled by a mortal, it will suffer backlash. When the time comes, you will..."
Wang Yue wiped away his tears and said: "Old ancestor, Yue is not afraid, even if it costs his life. Then Yue will be able to see his ancestors again."
Zijue sighed slightly, and then said: "Be careful! Just go ahead!"
Wang Yue kowtowed respectfully and then left the ancestral temple. After learning about the rise of Jin, he felt even more urgent.
After seeing Wang Yue leave, Zijue began to use attribute cards to improve his attributes. The attribute cards could be increased to a maximum of 89, which would make his subsequent response easier.
