Chapter forty-fifth Zhou Shi's demise
"Rumbling." Under the leadership of Qin Yiren, the Qin army rushed to the royal capital Luoyang as fast as possible.
The Qin soldiers were filled with joy, all of them were like the New Year, not because of anything else, but because they wanted to accomplish a feat: destroying Zhou!
Although the Zhou army was weak and in decline, it was the emperor after all, who had taken the righteousness and status, which was orthodox and the common ruler of the world. The Zhou army was about to end in the hands of the Qin army. This was supreme glory for the Qin army soldiers who participated in this battle and one of the most meaningful events they had done in their lives.
To end a dynasty, just thinking about it makes people happy, let alone participating in it. This is so exciting. The soldiers did not feel tired at all along the way, but felt that this marching was an extremely relaxed and pleasant thing.
According to their mood, they wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly to Luoyang immediately.
Therefore, the Qin army's marching speed was extremely fast, and it could take two days a day.
"Happy events are always so exciting. This feat of destroying Zhou made the brothers excited. I don't feel tired when I hurry on the road." Qin Yiren rode on the horse, looking at the Qin army moving forward quickly, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes." Sima Geng emphasized his head and agreed loudly, saying, "This is probably the easiest marching in the history of the Qin Dynasty, maybe it is the most relaxing marche in the history of the Warring States Period."
"No, General Sima, you didn't say enough." Huang Shigong added, saying: "This should be one of the easiest marches since Pangu opened the world, which is even easier than the battle of King Wu of Zhou to defeat Zhou."
Sima Geng was stunned and nodded in agreement.
"When King Wu attacked Zhou, although there were Taigong, Sanyisheng and other capable ministers and generals who were good at Sanyisheng, at that time, King Zhou was powerful and King Wu of Zhou did not have many troops, so there was no chance of winning. Although Mengjin met the princes and came unexpectedly, King Wu of Zhou knew in his heart that it was still uncertain whether he could defeat King Zhou." Wei Liao took the conversation and analyzed: "And it is a foregone conclusion that we have destroyed Zhou now. It is a certainty that even if Zhou Wenwu, King Wu of Zhou and Duke Zhou were resurrected, they would not be able to save Zhou's room."
Although King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou like a flower in later generations, in reality, King Wu of Zhou took advantage of King Zhou's loopholes and took advantage of the empty opportunity of King Zhou's army in the southeast to suddenly send troops to attack Chaoge. King Zhou had no troops to adjust and had to arm slaves, which led to the failure of the Battle of Muye.
If we go further, when it comes to contributions to Chinese history, King Wu of Zhou could not match King Zhou. When King Zhou was still the crown prince, he led his troops to the shore of the East China Sea. This was the first emperor in Chinese history to reach the shore of the East China Sea. Even the five emperors before King Zhou did not do it. This was an amazing contribution.
"Listen, the soldiers are clamoring." Qin Yiren waved the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound, and looked at the shouting soldiers with a smile on his face.
"The Zhou Shi is a thief in the world! He won the world and could not rule the world. After hundreds of years of wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has never been such a fierce person since the Three Kings and Five Emperors. This is the great sin of the Zhou Shi, and the Zhou Shi is not worthy of being the emperor."
"That's right, the Zhou Dynasty is the thief in the world! After the Zhou Dynasty won the world, what did he say about 'benevolent government'? What is he called benevolent government? 'The etiquette does not prevail over common people, and the punishment does not prevail over the doctor'. Those nobles do not bully the weak and bully us common people at will? It's not like the Qin Dynasty, which does not distinguish between noble and humble, and is one in one law. This is the real benevolent government."
"The Zhou Dynasty likes to seek fame the most, especially the Duke of Zhou. He obviously wanted to replace King Cheng of Zhou and become the emperor, but he didn't have the courage to return the power to King Cheng of Zhou. He was so thick-skinned that he even made people sing praises for him and praised him for being selfless. I bah!"
As soon as the soldiers mentioned Zhou Shi, they lifted Zhou Shi's bottom and pushed Zhou Shi's bottom out of the sky.
King Wu of Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty and ended for more than 800 years. There were many famous allusions during this period, such as Zhou Gong betraying King Cheng to meet the princes, Zhou Gong spitted his chest, and implemented the well-field system...
Among them, Duke Zhou was a key figure in the stability of the Zhou Dynasty. He promoted "benevolent government" and implemented the well-field system, and even more clamored that "the courtesy cannot be subservient to common people and punishment cannot be subservient to doctors." In fact, what he promoted was privileged politics, which was to safeguard the interests of the nobles.
Later Confucians praised him as a saint, saying that he was a saint. In fact, can the privileged politics he promoted benevolent politics?
Compared with Shang Yang's implementation of "no distinction between high and low, and one law in one's own way", this naturally cannot be recognized by the Qin army soldiers.
Of course, the reason why the Qin army soldiers were so knowledgeable was because the manifesto written by Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi at Wang Jian's proposal, which greatly criticized the faults of the Zhou Dynasty. The Qin army soldiers recognized these statements very much.
In this way, the Qin army soldiers, led by Qin Yiren, soon arrived in Luoyang.
From a distance, you can see a majestic city with tigers and dragons standing in a row, with a huge atmosphere, and it is extremely impressive.
"The capital of the king has arrived! The capital of the king has arrived!" The soldiers cheered and laughed happily.
"The capital of Luoyang?" Qin Yiren's eyes widened and stared at this majestic city, very excited.
Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, was a symbol of the Zhou Dynasty's royal family at that time. When the Qin army approached Luoyang, it meant that the Zhou Dynasty was about to be destroyed. This was promoted and implemented by itself. It was impossible for Qin Yiren to be unhappy.
"Luoyang is here! Haha!" Huangshigong, Wei Liao and Sima Geng laughed loudly, each of whom was happy and moved. They were as excited as Qin Yiren.
What they want to end is the Zhou royal family that has been passed down for more than 800 years. Who can not be excited?
"King Wu led 100,000 troops into Luoyang and wanted to move the Nine Tripods to Xianyang, but he died because he broke his legs. The matter of moving the Tripods had to be stopped. From then on, although the Qin Dynasty had the intention to do so, he did not dare to win the title. Today, we will enter Luoyang, destroy the Zhou Dynasty, and move the Nine Tripods!" Qin Yiren was very excited, with red light on his face, and raised his voice and spoke loudly.
"Destroy the Zhou Dynasty!"
"Move the Nine Tripods!"
The soldiers burst into earth-shaking cheers, and the roars rang through the sky, making the ground tremble.
Destroying the Zhou Dynasty and moving the Nine Cauldrons was the wish of countless people, but none of them succeeded. Such a magical achievement was created by themselves. How could the soldiers not be excited?
Especially the Nine Tripods, which are the holy weapons of the Chinese nation, the symbol of the dynasty, and the holy weapons of the emperor. Whoever can own the Nine Tripods means who will unify the world.
For this reason, "all countries have been competing for the great power", but no one dared to take action. Although the reckless king of Qin Wu, the King of Qin, ended in failure. Today, the ideal of moving to the Nine Tripods is about to be realized, and the soldiers are particularly happy, holding their heads and tripods high, erecting their chests, and venting their joy with all their hearts.
The ecstatic Qin army soon drove to Luoyang City like the wind, and saw the scene under the city clearly. He couldn't help but be surprised and saw a group of people kneeling at the city gate.
These people were the king and ministers of King Nan of Zhou. At this time, the king and ministers of Zhou were kneeling on the ground with their upper bodies naked, with their foreheads on the cold ground, which was apologizing.
In the Warring States Period, kneeling on the ground to apologize for guilt, this was one of the most serious punishments. For example, Lian Po apologized for guilt to Lin Xiangru, which was to carry a jingtou on his naked body.
At present, King Nan of Zhou is only short of being punished.
King Nan of Zhou knelt in front, with a snow-white head lowered, his forehead against the cold ground, and his body trembling, saying, "Ji Yan (King Nan of Zhou) apologized to the Qin Dynasty!"
"Apologize?" Qin Yiren was surprised. Qin Yiren had imagined many scenes of arriving in Luoyang, including many scenes of King Nan of Zhou asking for surrender. He did not expect that King Nan of Zhou would apologize, but he was still so naked and apologized with the highest etiquette.
Not only Qin Yiren was surprised, but also Huang Shigong, Wei Liao, Sima Geng, and other ones were surprised Moduo?
"The Emperor of Zhou apologized, and the Zhou family has been destroyed, and it is a great success!" Qin Yiren looked at King Nan of Zhou, who was trembling all over, and was extremely excited.
Destroying the Zhou Dynasty means that there is no master in the world. If there is no master in the world, the people of the world will think of who will be the common master of the world? Naturally, they will develop a "unification", which is of great benefit to the great cause of Qin's unification.
Furthermore, if King Nan of Zhou apologized to Qin, Qin could ask him to "abdicate". Even if King Nan of Zhou did not "abdicate", he could still be called emperor with his powerful strength, but the resistance would be greater. Of course, if King Nan of Zhou abdicated, this would be the best ending. Qin could become the co-lord of the world in a righteous manner, gather the people's expectations and win people's hearts, and it would be of great benefit to the great cause of unification.
Looking at King Nan of Zhou's fearful look, he dared not abdicate, and the common ruler of the world would not be able to escape.
Huangshigong and Wei Liao looked at each other, and they were very happy, unable to hide their excitement, and their faces were blushed.
"The Zhou Dynasty is destroyed!"
Suddenly, the Qin army burst into earth-shaking cheers, and everyone laughed happily, even happier than winning the Changping Battle.
Although the Battle of Changping was an amazing victory, it was not perfect enough to destroy Zhao State. And now the Zhou Dynasty, the common ruler of the world, is destroyed. Who can not be happy?
Listening to the cheers of the Qin soldiers, King Nan of Zhou was so scared that he screamed: "Mom!" He almost felt the feces and urine.
King Nan of Zhou was originally an incompetent and courageous person. He heard the cheers like tsunamis of the mountains and seas deafeningly. How could he not shock Mo Ming?
The ministers behind King Nan of Zhou were also scared and all of them were almost weak.
"What a group of useless people!" Qin Yiren saw it and looked at it and looked very contemptuous.
"Taisun Wang, what should I do about this?" Sima Geng's eyes were filled with joy, and he asked Qin Yiren with a smile.
"The King's Grandson..." Huang Shigong and Wei Liao said in unison, about to remind him, but waved his hand to Qin Yiren to stop him.
Qin Yiren flew off his horse and quickly walked to King Nan of Zhou.
Listening to the heavy footsteps of Qin Yiren approaching, the cold sweat on King Nan of Zhou oozed out like water, and the sweat dripped on the ground, making a "tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-t
King Nan of Zhou wanted to retreat, but his body was weak and could not retreat. Not only did he not retreat, but his body became weak and fell to the ground, like a mud.
Just when King Nan of Zhou was almost fainted, Qin Yiren said beside him: "Why are you doing this?"
Qin Yiren stretched out his hand and helped King Nan of Zhou up, with a smile on his face, and complained to King Nan of Zhou: "Look at you, although it is spring, it is quite cold. Are you naked and still frozen?"
As he said that, Qin Yiren took off his robe and put it on King Nan of Zhou.
Qin Yiren is doing a show, and he needs to do a show at this time! (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!)
