Chong'er ascended the throne, and the situation in Jin quickly stabilized. Because of the problems in the Jin State over the years, after Chong'er came to the throne, he focused on the officials and officials, while alienating the public officials. The strength of the Jin State's official offices declined rapidly.
Ever since Xiao Zong counterattacked Da Zong, the Jin State had strictly guarded the public office and killed people at every turn. After Chong'er arrived, the public office completely declined. In order to make up for the position vacated after the public office was abandoned and left the court, Chong'er reused his followers. He has been on the run for more than ten years.
The six ministers were entrusted to the country. The positions of the six ministers would be exchanged every few years, allowing more than a dozen ministers in the country to take turns. This approach seemed to prevent further civil strife in the government and made the Jin Dynasty stronger. , but what is the difference between his approach and the state of Zhou who divided the world more than two hundred years ago?
When those ministers and nobles are strong enough to ignore the monarch, then the monarch will be in danger. How many of the vassal states that divided the world and swore loyalty to Zhou took the Emperor of Zhou seriously? ..
Jin's current system looks good, but in the future it will be easy for the officials and nobles to lose control.
After Chong'er came to the throne, with the assistance of several wise ministers, the Jin State began to quickly restore its national strength. The Jin State had the strongest foundation among the countries, and even the Chu State could not compare with it.
Under Chong'er's reforms, the Jin State's domestic military system implemented the Liuqing system. However, in just three years, the Jin State underwent earth-shaking changes.
Huge wealth has been accumulated in Jiangdu, and the strength of the Jin army has also been improved. However, there were sequelae. With the acquiescence of Jin Hou Chong'er, the nobles began to occupy the land that originally belonged to the Jin Dukes.
This led to serious conflicts between the Jin Dynasty's official family and the Jin Dynasty's officials and nobles. However, with the support of the marquis of Jin and the nobles, the public could only retreat steadily.
Three years after the Marquis of Jin ascended the throne, Jin's national power was at its peak. Since Duke Huan of Qi came to dominate the world, the powerful vassal states of Zhou Dynasty began to want to gain the overlordship of Duke Huan of Qi.
Duke Huan of Qi's road to hegemony is not difficult to understand. To put it bluntly, he means respecting the king and resisting the barbarians. To respect the king is to have a good relationship with the Emperor of Zhou so that he can act in the name of the Emperor. Fighting against the barbarians can mean getting rid of the barbarians and Di, or it can also be used to punish or even annex other vassal states in this name.
If the Jin Dynasty wants to become strong and prosperous, it must become the overlord of the princes. The first step to becoming an overlord is to respect the king and gain the recognition of the Emperor of Zhou.
...
On the banks of the Luoshui River, it is the land of the king of Zhou Dynasty.
Since King Ping moved eastward, the Zhou Dynasty declined, and the Emperor of Zhou gradually became a mere decoration. At the beginning, Marquis Wen of Jin and Marquis Zheng supported him, and Bang Zhou still had some power. However, later Marquis Wen of Jin passed away, and Duke Zheng Zhuang went to war with the Emperor of Zhou, completely removing the last bit of dignity from the Zhou royal family.
If Duke Huan of Qi had not later respected the king and rejected the barbarians, the Zhou royal family would have lost all dignity.
It became Luoyi of Zhou Dynasty.
This city, which was founded three hundred years ago, is famous throughout the country. The mottled moss on the city wall makes it look like a decrepit person. At this time, the setting sun makes it look even more old.
Ever since Duke Huan of Qi became hegemonic and respected the king and resisted the barbarians, the Zhou royal family had been doing pretty well. At least many vassal states had resumed paying tribute.
Although the power of the Zhou royal family has been very weak, it is considered a second-rate country on the whole, and with the protection of the vassal states surnamed Ji, life is not bad.
Small countries did not dare to offend him, and big countries did not annex him. As for other second-rate countries, they did not dare to go against him. After all, if a fight broke out, it would give those big countries a reason to intervene.
After there is no survival crisis, the Zhou royal family is also living a very comfortable life, but if people indulge themselves, the family will have many offspring. If there are too many offspring, and they are not well educated, then there will be more messy things, such as the one in front of you. crisis.
The root cause of this crisis still stems from the previous Emperor of Zhou. The previous Emperor of Zhou was a bit ridiculous. He robbed the gardens of his uncle's retainers and raised wild animals for hunting. Later, his uncle rebelled and beat him to escape in embarrassment. Finally, with the help of the power of Zheng and Guo, he was able to regain control. go back.
Later, because he doted on his younger son, he wanted to let his younger son inherit the throne. However, Duke Huan of Qi supported Prince Zheng at the time, which caused his idea of letting his younger son inherit the throne to go bankrupt.
Although the youngest son failed to succeed in ascending the throne, he left a legacy of disaster. Zhou Tianzi's actions gave the youngest son some other ideas.
This prince's leader was also a ruthless person. After seeing that his brother had the upper hand, he lurked secretly. His desire to seize the throne never weakened.
Emperor Zheng saw that his younger brother was very honest, so he relaxed his vigilance and began to sing, dance and enjoy himself.
The wife of Emperor Zheng was from the Di people. She was married to appease the Di people. She was also beautiful. It's just that no matter how beautiful you are, you will eventually grow old. As an emperor, although your majesty is no longer there, you still have beauty.
Therefore, Emperor Zheng favored other younger and more beautiful women and left his wife behind. As a result, the queen was very dissatisfied, but she had no choice.
After seeing this situation, the prince thought it was an opportunity, so he began to secretly make friends with the queen. The queen was unbearably lonely in her boudoir, but the prince was handsome and interesting, so they hooked up after a couple of visits.
Compared with the emperor Zheng, Wang Zidai was younger and more handsome, and soon the queen's whole body and mind was devoted to Wang Zidai. The two were very passionate about each other, and soon the queen was no longer satisfied with having an affair, and wanted to marry the prince openly.
But the situation between the two of them is simply impossible. It can only be said that the woman has changed her heart and is really cruel. She wants to kill the emperor directly and then stay and fly with the prince.
So the queen asked the prince to contact her mother clan, hoping to use the power of the Di people to kill the Emperor of Zhou and let the prince take the throne. This idea can be said to hit it off with the prince, so after discussing it, the two decided to take action.
Soon Yiluo Zhidi, under the leadership of the princes, began to rebel and attacked Chengzhou Wangji. Emperor Zheng Zai learned of the Yiluo Zhidi rebellion and immediately decided to lead an army to quell the rebellion.
The army went out to suppress the rebellion. Just after Emperor Zheng left, Wang Zidai immediately closed the city gate. Emperor Zheng was about to fight the Di people when he heard that the way back was cut off and Wang Zidai proclaimed himself king. He was shocked. The army no longer had the will to fight. Irozhid took the opportunity to launch an attack. The soldiers were panicked. Emperor Zheng was so panicked that he fled with his men.
The morale of the army was low. Seeing the emperor's escape, morale collapsed. Irozhid took the opportunity to attack. The army collapsed and surrendered. There were countless escapees. Emperor Zheng had no choice but to flee in panic.
The prince successfully defeated the emperor Zheng. With his cleverness, handsomeness and sweet mouth, he coaxed the queen into confusion. Not only did he give the emperor Zheng a big cuckold, he also successfully ascended the throne and became the king. For a time, he was enjoying unlimited glory. .
