Many people have long been aware that the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. In just twenty or thirty years, many countries have been in chaos again and again. Several other countries have either disappeared or become small pocket countries that can only continue to worship their ancestors.
If you want to say what most people think is a big event? It must be the demise of the Qi State, followed by the usurpation of Guo Zuo by the Zhao family, and the backdoor restoration of the Qi State by the Chen family.
Put it that way, the Zhi family is about to be canonized by the Emperor of Zhou, and then he is very likely to establish his own country. Doesn't it seem so "unreasonable"?
Many examples of similar things can be found in the early Spring and Autumn Period regarding who a certain country annexed, and when a country that was destroyed during a certain period suddenly came back to life.
Now that there are old cases, it doesn't seem so sudden if it happens again, especially with the operations of the Zhao family and the Tian family, and the Zhi family is so powerful that it is not surprising that Zhiyao wants to restore the ancestral foundation. !
From some aspects, Zhiyao still needs to be praised for wanting to restore his ancestral legacy.
The reason? This is an era with the concept of survival and continuance. The Xun family is originally a royal family of the original country.
Why did the Yuan Kingdom disappear? Historical records record that the Yuan Kingdom was at war with the Jin Kingdom. The kings of the two countries at that time made a bet. Later, the Yuan Kingdom lost the bet. The king of the Yuan Kingdom was willing to admit defeat and actively cooperated with the Jin Kingdom against the Yuan Kingdom. merger.
Don’t you think it’s funny? You actually made a bet and lost your country. This incident was a good story at the time. (It seems to be the only time in history?)
The Zhi family comes from the Xun family, and currently the most popular Xun family is the Zhi family.
Xiao Zong Dai Da Zong first happened to the Zhou royal family, and later there was also the historical event of "Qu Wo Dai Yi", and it was also endorsed and recognized by the Zhou royal family.
As a small sect, it is very reasonable for the Zhi family to develop and replace the big sect, right?
The Zhi family now enjoys all the rights and interests of the Xun family, which is equivalent to inheriting some inexplicable titles, including the restoration of the old country. What was lacking before was nothing more than the permission of the Emperor of Zhou.
"Yao is not restoring the country, but establishing the country." Zhiyao believes that internal affairs need to understand this fact and not get things wrong.
Han Geng, who went south together, seemed to know what was going to happen only when he arrived at "Shangqiu".
However, let alone Zhiyao not believing it, the rest of the people would not believe it either.
The Han family has always maintained close contact with the Zhou royal family. For a relatively long period of time, the Han family also served as the spokesperson of the Zhou royal family in the Jin Dynasty.
So, Han Geng’s acting skills are quite good.
Zhiyao took a deep look at Han Geng, then smiled and said, "In the future, Geng will be Jin Zhengqing."
This time, not only Han Geng followed him south, but also some important figures from the Hu family and the Zhong family.
Among them, the father and son of the Hu family and the Zhong family had known about the canonization in advance, so some changes were inevitable. It was found out that it was not aimed at the Zhi family, but mainly to guard against the Han family and the Qin State.
From now on, both the Hu family and the Zhong family will become members of Zhi Yao's rule. This is definitely not due to Zhi Yao's coercion. It can be regarded as the Fox family taking the initiative to get closer, while the Zhong family's defection is quite surprising.
In any case, Zhiyao agreed to follow the Hu family and the Zhong family without revealing some rumors to the Han family in advance, which meant that the Han family was excluded.
Later, the Han family also learned from the Zhi family and turned their family into a country, or stayed in the Jin country. As expected, one day they would become one of the nutrients of the Zhi family.
Han Geng said with a forced smile: "I never thought that Geng would be where he is today."
How to say?
What a stupid horse!
Without the Zhi, Hu and Zhong clans, Jin's territory suddenly lost eight out of ten, and its population also dropped by at least 80%.
To put it bluntly, except for the Han family, there is nothing left. The once powerful Jin Dynasty has become a country with a population of only 600,000 to 700,000. Its territory is only part of Hexi and around Huishui, and some scattered villages near the Zhou royal family.
territory.
With a population of six to seven million, the Han family has gained something somewhat this time, otherwise the population would have been even smaller.
For the Jin State, what was more fatal was that the Zhong family would run away.
The Zhong family is a duke of the Jin Kingdom! Whether they admit it or not, the Zhong family is a family merged by eight duke heads.
Even the Zhong family ran away, didn't it mean that the Jin Kingdom was about to end?
Fortunately, both "Gu Jiang" and "Xin Jiang" will be left to the Jin State, and the "Jia" land will also be preserved. It can be regarded as leaving some property to the Jin State, and it does not mean that Zhi's appearance is completely ugly.
That was Zhong Quan's request, and Zhiyao agreed.
As for why Zhong Quan did that? He probably wanted to use this method to return some of Jin Jun's affection, but it was a kind of separation.
As for the Zhong family, their remaining fiefdoms have been greatly reduced. The only fiefdoms that can be considered promising for development are "Zhouyang" and "Huqiu". The rest of the fiefdoms are very low and have no special products.
Han Geng was very conflicted. He once wanted to follow Zhishi, but when he thought that Zhiyao had not invited or communicated with him in advance, he actually felt very uncomfortable inside.
There are actually not many options left for Han Geng. He can serve as the "Yuanrong" of the Jin State that has weakened to the extreme and lead it to rise again, or he can learn from the Zhi family and transform his family into a country, or something else?
"Qin has become my mortal enemy. With the strength of my family alone, we may be able to maintain a stalemate. Continuing to expand westward has proven to be extremely difficult; the Zhi family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family who were once in the same country, they will...
"Han Geng was interrupted mid-thought.
The person who came in was Shan Gongyuan. After saluting, he said: "The sacrifice is ready. Please come to the stage to see Uncle Zhi."
Zhiyao invited the princes to come to the alliance in the name of Jin. The first thing he had to do was to accept the canonization of the Emperor of Zhou and at the same time declare the birth of a country.
The princes had long been waiting on the platform on the top of the alliance platform. They were sitting in their seats. When they saw Zhiyao, who was wearing the princes' royal robes but not wearing a crown, arriving under the protection of the guards, most of them simply said
Stand up, a few people hesitated for a while before standing up.
If the situation is unpredictable, the changes in recent years have really made many people unable to understand the changes in the situation, and they are really confused.
Not surprisingly, the powerful Jin state will soon become insignificant, and a new powerful state will soon emerge.
Zhiyao glanced at the princes one after another, deliberately stopping at Chu Junzhang, Yuejun Goujian, Lu Junning, and Qin Junci.
By the way, why are the princes including Chu Junzhang here? They were supposed to stay in "Yongqiu". Later, they learned that Zhiyao would be canonized, so they rushed to "Shangqiu" together.
It is obvious that it is one thing for the Jin State to hold an alliance, but it is another thing for the envoy of the Emperor Zhou to confer Zhiyao on the throne. It cannot be discussed in one lump.
The Jin State may be irreconcilable with the Chu State, but the new country established by the Zhi family has no enmity or enmity with the other princes and states including the Chu State.
The most important thing is that while they feel that they cannot miss this canonization, they also think that it may be a turning point for their country. How could they miss it?
The development of the situation has become rather strange... or interesting. Except for those countries that rarely appear in history books, or do not appear in history books at all, there are people from other countries who will serve as witnesses for Zhiyao to be registered as a marquis.
Will someone jump out and do something such as objecting to the canonization of Zhiyao as a marquis? Nowadays, numerous powerful countries hope that the canonization can go smoothly to bring about new changes; small countries hope that many things can be turned around and given to them.
opportunities that may exist.
Generally speaking, everyone hopes for new developments, and it is only because of their stupidity that today they have become Zhi's mortal enemy and are targeted by most countries.
So, no one bothered Shan Gong as he recited the inscriptions from Emperor Zhou, until he helped Zhiyao wear the crown and then threw the inscriptions into the burning copper tripod to report to God. The whole ceremony was solemn.
Why is it a coined word? Because it is engraved on a copper plate! This thing will be recycled later and used as a legal and reasonable way to obtain a title.
Standing at the edge of the alliance platform, Zhiyao stretched out her arms.
Around the Huimeng Platform, the Zhishi army was waiting in formation, and they all shouted loudly.
They just shouted some slogans, such as "Zhi's family will last for ten thousand years", "Our Lord will last for ten thousand years" and so on.
Then, Zhiyao turned around and looked at the princes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, as proof, today Yao established the country as Tang."
After much selection, Zhiyao still chose "Tang" as the country's name.
There are some unreasonable things in it. For example, the initial name of the Jin State was Tang, and there was also a Tang State with the surname Qi in the past.
This Qi surnamed Tang State, their only highlight moment in history was in 506 BC with Wu State, Cai State defeated Chu State in the "Battle of Baiju", but was later destroyed in Chu State's revenge battle and
annexed.
The main reason why it is unreasonable is that the "Tang Feng" in the "Book of Songs" is the current Jin country. Once the Zhi family established the country as the Tang Dynasty, it would cause great trouble for the current historians and future generations to understand the history.
Historians? They need to annotate the original information at hand, or give Zhi's Tang Dynasty a recognized name, otherwise confusion is bound to happen.
So far, the establishment of a country has not been witnessed by so many princes, especially the establishment process has not been blocked by any country. This alone is enough to make countless people envious and jealous.
By the way, Jin Junzhe was not present.
In fact, Zhiyao could bring Jin Jun Chi here, but why bother? In addition to adding salt to Jin Jun's chisel wound, it would make many princes feel sad.
A new flag was set up, and the Zhishi army, which was standing quietly in formation, no..., should be called the Tang Army from now on. They shouted slogans again, which became "Ten Thousand Years of the King" and "Ten Thousand Years of the Tang Kingdom".
Zhiyao thought that today would make her so excited that she almost fainted. She was surprised to find that her heartbeat was a little fast, but her mood was so calm that even she was surprised.
"Chu State, Yue State, Qin State, Song State, Jin State..." Zhiyao had a smile on his face, and one prince after another looked over, and in his mind there was a little man pointing his sword to the sky, and shouting crazily.
: "Mine, mine, all mine! Zhuxia doesn't need so many countries!!!"
