After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 174 Ji Dynasty Proclaims Emperor
Meng Di nodded solemnly and explained.

"In the past, there was the support of the Jin State, so Meng had to hide the crown prince in Gumi City. Now the Jin State is in chaos, and the Qi State wants to fight for hegemony in the world. Under such circumstances, it is a good time for the crown prince to proclaim himself emperor. .”

"The state of Jin is now doing all kinds of perverse actions, which makes the princes of the world feel very shameless, and has lost its status as the hegemony of the world, so Mengmou thought that the prince should ascend the throne as soon as possible, unite with the southern powers, enter the north, and strive to return the power to the prince."

After saying this, the prince felt itchy in his heart, but he was not stupid. After this period of time, the vision in his hands had basically been disintegrated, but as long as he could restore his status as the emperor, other things were not important.

After all, since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the status of the Zhou royal family has plummeted. Under such circumstances, Wang Zichao has no dissatisfaction. Looking at the majestic city in front of him, he is also deeply moved, but he is still a little worried.

"In this situation, although the Jin State is in civil strife, I am afraid that its strength is still there. I don't know if Meng Zi's men and horses can stop the Jin State? If not, wouldn't it be self-inflicted trouble?"

It was obvious that Wang Zichao was afraid of being beaten by Jin, so he said that, while Meng Di said it seriously.

"Prince, please don't worry, the state of Jin is different now, Fan Xianzi has passed away, and the newly appointed General Zhizi is not capable enough to subdue Zhao Jianzi, now Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe are joining forces to attack Zhao Jianzi."

"So in a short period of time, the state of Jin has no ability to send troops abroad, and His Royal Highness is from the crown prince established by King Zhou Jing, and everyone in the world knows it. , is disobedience."

"As long as the crown prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor at this time, presumably all the vassal states in the world will surely respond and gather under the crown prince's banner to jointly oppose the state of Jin!"

In fact, Wang Zichao has no other choice now, his life is in Mengdi's hands now, in this situation, since Mengdi said so, he has nothing to hesitate, so he said it right away.

"Since this is the case, everything is according to Mengzi's words."

When Wang Zichao left Luoyi, he took away the classics of the Zhou royal family. It is very cumbersome to become the emperor, and it takes a long time to prepare. Meng Di is not interested in these things, but he is patient enough to deal with them .

Under his repeated requests, some unnecessary procedures were simplified. Finally, two months later, Wang Zichao ascended the throne in Huaicheng and proclaimed himself emperor. He established Zhou Tianzi again, and at the same time sent envoys to various vassal states.

After the news spread, the world was shaken. None of them thought that Wang Zichao would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Huaicheng, and put forward a slogan to crusade against the rebels and return to Luoyi.

At this time, the conflicts within the Jin State had intensified, and the three families of Zhi, Wei, and Han did not participate in the war. Shi, directly expelled from the state of Jin.

At that time, a few honest and obedient people will be promoted to serve as the patriarchs of these three clans, so that the civil strife in Jin can be quelled, but the question is which side should we help now?
Needless to say, the Wei family, because of Fan Yang's unfair treatment of Wei Shu, made the Wei family hate the Fan family, and the Han family and the Zhongxing family have also had a grudge for many years. Under this situation, Han Buxin and Wei Lu It is advocated to attack Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe first.

Although they had some sympathy for Zhao Yang's expulsion in their hearts, but this time the civil strife was caused by Zhao Yang, so they also agreed with Zhi Li's opinion.

Then Zhibi went to the palace to meet the Marquis of Jin and pointed out that the Zhao family, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family were now causing trouble in the state of Jin and should be regarded as rebels. They should be expelled to the state of Jin, so as to end the civil strife.

The current Marquis of Jin also had no claim, so he nodded and agreed.

Then Zhibi, Han Buxin, and Wei Lu led the army to attack, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Ji shot, no one expected the ending, the three families jointly attacked the two but they were unable to attack for a long time, and they were defeated.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe discussed it. If the current situation continues, Zhao Yang will be taken down by then, but the reputation of a traitor is not good.

So the two of them came together and decided to do it once and for all, directly controlling the Marquis of Jin in their own hands, so wouldn't they have the final say on the entire Jin country?Then left a small number of troops to continue to attack Jinyang.

Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe led the main force to counterattack the capital of the Jin State. Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhixuan quickly persuaded the Marquis of Jin to call on the Jin people to attack Zhongxingyin and Fan Jishe. The troops were shrunk to the capital.

As a result, the two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle under the capital of the Jin Kingdom, which was completely confirmed. The crime of treason by the Zhonghang family and the Fan family, for a while, the Jin people hated these two clans extremely.

At this time, Zhao Yang, who was besieged in Jinyang, saw that there were not many people in the Zhongxing and Fan clans, so he fought back directly, repelled the besieged enemy troops, and then played the banner of King Qin, and the soldiers marched directly into the capital of Jin.

Under the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe were unable to attack for a long time, coupled with the low morale in the army, Zhixuan, Han Buxin and Wei Lu saw an opportunity and directly launched a counterattack.

As a result, Zhao Yang arrived in time with his army, and the four families joined forces to defeat Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe. Seeing that the situation was not good, they did not dare to return to their fief, and fled directly to Weiguo. The country has temporarily stabilized.

After this battle, Zhao Yang lost a lot of strength, and Zhixuan had faintly become the No.

Under such circumstances, in order to stabilize the state of Jin, Zhixuan offered to restore Zhao Yang's position and continue to serve as the middle army assistant of the state of Jin. Complete liquidation.

After completely annihilating the forces of the Zhonghang clan and Fanshi, in order to suppress Zhao Yang, Zhixuan proposed to select a suitable person from the Zhonghang clan and Fanshi to be the patriarch. Han Buxin and Wei Lu had no objections, but Zhao Yang Martingale's firm opposition.

Zhao Yang privately persuaded Han Buxin and Wei Lu to support him instead. Zhixuan did not expect such a result, and finally had no choice but to compromise. From then on, the six ministers of Jin became the four ministers.

However, Zhixuan didn't intend to just let Zhao Yang go, so he sent an envoy to see Zhao Yang.
