I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

According to legend, in order to commend and commemorate Dayu's merits in water control, Wanmin worked together to cast Jiuding, which later became a national treasure.

Later, Cheng Tang Miexia obtained Jiuding, and Jiuding was owned by Yin Shang.

Later, Ji Fa destroyed Shang, and Jiuding fell into Ji Zhou's hands.

When the Western Zhou Dynasty moved to the east, the Jiuding was taken to "Luoyi" and placed in the square in front of the main hall of the palace. It has been exposed to the wind, rain, and sun for a long time. At any rate, waxing and rust removal were carried out to ensure that the Jiuding was still intact.

"How did the Jiuding disappear in the long river of history?" Zhiyao still knew that the Jiuding was not preserved until modern times and was sent to the museum.

There are many theories about the disappearance of Jiuding in history. It is said that Qin State brought it back to Xianyang after destroying Ji Zhou; Take it away, deliberately transfer the Jiuding and throw it into the sinking water of various river systems; there is even a saying that Xiang Yu burned it down.

No matter which statement is correct, Jiuding is really a mystery anyway.

At present, there is no Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and the Nine Tripods preserved from the Xia Dynasty to Ji Zhou are the treasures of the Chuanguo. King Zhuang of Chu and King Ling of Chu successively made actions of "asking for the importance of the crown", and to put it bluntly, they wanted to replace it.

Did Zhiyao send people to "Luoyi" in advance to watch Jiuding?Yes, but not the army.

So, if Zhiyao wanted to obtain Jiuding, why didn't he send troops in advance to snatch Jiuding after "Luoyi" fell?The reason is that Zhou Tianzi must be rescued when an army is sent, and Zhiyao does not want to save Zhou Tianzi next time.

Another point, can Yuanguo send troops to pretend to rescue "Luoyi"?This really doesn't work.

Not a single soldier was dispatched, and the capture of "Luoyi" by the Chu army was the fault of all Ji Zhou's feudal states. If the original army's rescue failed, most of the fault was on Yuan Guo.

Zhiyao can arrange for the army to stand by and set off immediately when the time is right. Any act of rescuing Emperor Zhou, even if it is pretended, will not work.This is related to the interpretation of the political level.

Regardless of whether the state of Chu is willing to admit that it has a history of being the courtiers of Zhou Tianzi, they accepted the canonization of the Zhou royal family anyway, and then they did the behavior of "asking for the crown".

In order to become the leader of the vassals and enjoy the "contribution" and arrogance from all the vassals, the Jin State once again carried the banner of respecting the king and fighting the barbarians, and started to fight against the Chu State with its great name.

In fact, there are not many vassal states that have carried the banner. In order, they are Zheng State, Qi State, Wei State and Jin State.

That's right, the Jin State not only prevented the Chu State from destroying the Zhou royal family, but it was actually the last vassal state willing to carry the flag for the Zhou royal family.

In fact, the state of Jin didn't have much respect for the royal family of Zhou, and later intercepted the tribute paid by the princes to the emperor of Zhou.Of course, there are also reasons. For example, the state of Jin was fighting to prevent the state of Chu from destroying the Zhou royal family, but several emperors of Zhou ordered Qi and Wei to make trouble for the state of Jin. The gift vessel.

Even if Zhiyao could destroy the royal family of Zhou very easily, he still didn't want to do it.

For no other reason, it is not good to go down and down, and it must be avoided if it can be avoided.

Historically, Cheng Tang had engaged in the operation of Xuanniao Shengshang, and Faxia was generally what the people wanted, but he couldn't get around it.

It was Ji Zhou's turn to replace Yin Shang. In order to explain why he wanted to be superior, Ji Zhou not only repeatedly caused so many auspicious incidents, but also endured the persecution, to the point of sacrificing his father and brother to make Yin Shang believe Ji Zhou had no intention of rebellion. Ji Fa only stole the house when he saw the Yin and Shang army going out to fight.

Zhiyao has far more choices than Yin Shang and Ji Zhou. With the state of Chu, which has won the championship twice, Zhiyao has the Chu army who can do it for him, and there are reasons why he cannot escape from the war.

No matter what contemporary people think, future generations will only see "Chu army conquering 'Luoyi'" and "In the third year of King Ai of Zhou, the original army fought against the Chu army, Zheng army, Song army, and Yue army in Xinzheng" when reading history books. "Historical records.

Those records are not wrong at all, they are all facts supported by other historical materials, which can reasonably explain why the Yuan Kingdom did not send troops to rescue the Zhou royal family.

From ancient times to the Han Dynasty, the ethics of historians can be completely trusted. Only by looking at historical materials, later generations will not be able to find too much black information about Zhiyao in the process of the destruction of the Zhou royal family.

"Your Majesty sent troops to seize 'Shang Yu' just for today?" Sima Rangju actually felt quite frustrated in his heart.

Seeing the unconcealable disappointment on Sima Rangju's face, Sun Wu had great empathy.

What is the greatest sense of accomplishment as a counselor?Assist an ordinary monarch to achieve a great cause.

As a think tank, everything is expected earlier than the lord who works, and every time he can give correct advice and prove his own value, he can get great satisfaction.

Of the two of them, one has proved himself in Wu State, and the other has also proved himself in Qi State. Satisfaction is rarely enjoyed.

"Do you think that your majesty will send troops to attack Chu State again in the name of Zhou Tianzi's revenge?" Sima Rangju asked.

Sun Wu knew that Sima Rangju was asking the question knowingly, and replied: "It may be impossible to attack with words, but it is impossible to send troops."

The strategic goal of the Yuan country has always been very clear. To achieve the goal of weakening the Chu country is a good opportunity to clean up the corners and corners. How could it be possible to change the strategy and send troops to attack the Chu country because the Chu army captured "Luoyi".

Sima Rangju asked again: "Will your lord release him to Chu?"

Sun Wu understood.

They are not as good at grasping the situation as Zhiyao, the monarch. They are both wise and want to compete with each other?
Sun Wu said with a smile: "The Chu army just captured 'Luoyi' and killed the emperor. It is absolutely impossible for your majesty to release him to Chu this time."

Without waiting for Sima Rangju to ask again, Sun Wu went on to say: "After the Zhou family is destroyed for a long time, or after the age of three, the state of Chu will talk about redeeming Chu Jun again, and I think the king is willing to release him."

Then, Zhiyao will not let Chu Junzhong go immediately, and will interfere with the new king of Chu; Sending the gift back, it is impossible to support Chu Junzhong and help Chu Junzhong regain the throne.

Sima Rangju knew that Sun Wu had the same opinion as himself on how to deal with Chu, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why did your majesty ask Situ to lead the army to seize the land of Shang Yu?"

What outsiders may see is the sincere cooperation between the Zhi family and the Han family. How could they, as Zhiyao's trusted ministers of the country, fail to notice that the Zhi family and the Han family are wary of each other?
This matter is actually a legacy of history.

The Zhi family and the Han family are both veteran noble families of the Jin Kingdom. They have been on equal footing for too long, and suddenly they have become a relationship between monarch and minister. I believe that not only the Zhi family is awkward, but also the Han family will feel unbalanced mentally. ?

Like the Zhong family, the Fox family has transformed from a noble family of the Jin country to a member of the Yuan country. Apart from being an old-fashioned noble family, the Han family is too powerful compared to the Fox and Zhong families.

so to speak?The combined strength of the Fox family and the Zhong family is not as good as [-]% of the strength of the Han family.

Han's population is about 80 million, maybe more?It is estimated that they accounted for almost [-]% of the original country, and their fiefs accounted for about [-]% of the territory of the original country.

If the Han family was like the Fox family or the Zhong family, wouldn't it be so conspicuous?
It is precisely because the Han family's strength is too strong, which will inevitably cause many problems for both the Zhi family and the Han family.

Because the Han family is strong enough, it will cause Zhi's fear.

What are you afraid of?The Zhi family is afraid that the Han family will play and replace him one day, or learn from the Zhi family to turn the family into a country.

Zhiyao knew very well that such a powerful family is not allowed in the country, and direct action will inevitably make the Fox family, the Zhong family and other families rebel after being frightened, and can only try to gain enough mutual trust with Han Geng.

The Han family accepted the call and dispatched troops to participate in the national war. While fulfilling their obligations, they were actually expressing their obedience.

Since Han Shi behaved obediently, there must be no reason for Zhiyao to do anything to Han Shi.

"This time, let's see what Situ does. Take the Nine Tripods and return them to the country and present them to the King, or take the Nine Tripods and return them to 'Luoyi' and return them to the Zhou family." Sun Wu admitted that he could not make an absolutely correct prediction about Han Geng's choice.

The current Emperor Zhou was killed by someone when "Luoyi" fell, but he died anyway.

The absence of the incumbent Zhou Tianzi does not mean that there are no other people to succeed the emperor. As long as there are men with close blood relations, there will always be someone to take the throne.In history, there have been examples of emperors extinct and jointly electing new emperors.

Sima Rangju straightened up the matter and said: "If Situ wins the nine cauldrons, and when he returns to his master, he will occupy the Zhou family's land, or be stigmatized, the Han family will have nothing to worry about."

Did they think Zhiyao was too cruel?

Zhiyao does not necessarily need to completely eliminate the Han family. After the dynasty is changed, all Xia will be ruled by the Zhi family. At that time, there is only one Han family. It does not have to be cut off. It is also possible to gradually weaken it .

This depends on how Zhiyao views Zhikai. Once Zhikai has the ability to suppress Han Hu, in fact Zhiyao and Han Geng can have a good relationship from beginning to end, leaving a good story for future generations.

If Zhikai couldn't suppress Han Hu, Zhiyao would have to bear the notoriety of erasing the founding hero.

In fact, that is the case. The founding king cleaned up the founding heroes, mostly because he was afraid that the successor king would not be able to suppress those heroes, that the country would be in chaos after his death, or that the successor king would not be able to keep the country.

If Zhikai is really unbearable, and Zhiyao has no other better options, it is estimated that not only the Han family, but also the Hu family, Zhong family and other families that seem to be too huge for ordinary people, including the captured countries during the war The princes and nobles may all be buried with one piece.

This is Zhiyao's reference to history. For example, the first emperor could kill all the enemies but stayed behind, laying hidden dangers for the death of the second generation.

Of course, the root cause of the death of Emperor Qin II was Hu Hai.

Because of the particularity of the times, Zhiyao is not at all afraid of the question of whether the surrounding alien races will rise after capable people are buried with them.

The current foreign race is too weak, and it is impossible to threaten the unified dynasty of the Central Plains.

And will there be new talents in the original meeting?This is beyond doubt.

These newly emerging talents, under the truth of "learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family", will have too much fame and fortune to attract them to serve the country.

"I'm old." Sun Wu sighed.

Sun Wu and Sima Rangju had never talked for such a long time, and the topic was somewhat sensitive.

When Sima Rangju wanted to say something, someone came to inform him that the king had invited him.

Waiting for the two to come to Zhiyao, they found that many ministers were already there.

Zhiyao signaled Taihu to explain the situation.

First of all, the fall of "Luoyi" has been confirmed, and it will spread throughout the land of Zhuxia as time goes by.

Furthermore, a group of ministers from the royal family of Zhou fled, and they were coming to "Puyang".

Then, Ziqi, the envoy of the State of Chu, proposed to cede the land and redeem it to the Chu Junzhong. Not only was he willing to recognize the area currently occupied by the original army, but he was also willing to cede the entire territory of the original Chen State and Cai State to the Yuan State.

Zhi Xuwu took the lead and said: "Chu State is very sincere."

Indeed, even though the state of Chu is miserable now, while admitting that the former army occupied it and returned it to the original state, he is willing to cede so much land at once, which is enough to express his sincerity in redeeming Chu Junzhong.

Fuguo glanced at Zhiyao, and said: "Chen and Cai are not the old lands of Chu. The king of Chu is no longer in the country, and the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans have many conflicts with other families. There is no king in Chu." In the event of civil strife, Lord Chu must not be allowed to return home easily."

Cheng Shuo took up the topic and said, "The emperor was murdered by the Chu army, and the princes of the world are now focusing on Dayuan. If he is easily released to the Chu monarch, it may cause criticism."

Some people expressed their opinions one after another, generally expressing that although the original country is powerful, it cannot completely ignore public opinion.

Seeing so many people supporting him, Fuguo didn't know what he was thinking, and suggested, "I might as well not harm Lord Chu, and send troops to crusade against Chu to win the love of the princes."

People who knew the established strategic goals of the original country looked at Fuguo with weird eyes, not sure if Fuguo knew the strategic goals, or if they knew the established strategic goals of the original country, and had any new ideas.

A long time ago, Fuguo was one of the people who supported Cheng Xiao's superiority. Later, Zhiyao's superiority was not liquidated, which would somewhat marginalize Fuguo.

It has been a long time since the competition for the position of the eldest son, Zhiyao has always been kind to Cheng Xiao, and even Fuguo has been "unbanned" to some extent.

Zhi Xuwu thought that Fuguo could have some high-level ideas, but Fuguo just made a suggestion and left the room cold. He frowned and said, "The Dayuan Fangli War is just the time to recuperate. Now that the north of the Huai River belongs to me, the invasion of the hinterland must be done." If there are large soldiers, less than 40, it is difficult to subjugate the country, and if the country is not subjugated, it will be useless to attack."

Fu Guo obviously didn't understand the situation, and said in surprise: "Avenging the emperor is the foundation of a minister."

Zhiyao, who was thinking about how to receive those fugitive officials from the royal family of Zhou, looked at Fuguo when she heard the words. Seeing Fuguo's face was a matter of course, and then scanned the rest of the ministers. It can be seen that many people agree with Fuguo's philosophy.

Zhiyao thought for a while, coughed a few times to silence the hall, and then said: "If you send troops, all the princes in the world are obliged. Wait for the minister to come and discuss it."
