According to legend, in order to commend and commemorate Dayu's merits in controlling floods, all the people worked together to build the Jiuding, which later became a national treasure.
Later, Cheng Tang conquered Xia and obtained Jiuding, which was owned by the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Later, Ji Fa destroyed Shang and Jiuding fell into the hands of Ji Zhou.
When the Western Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the Jiuding was brought to "Luoyi" and placed in the square in front of the main hall of the palace. It has been left to be blown by wind, rain, and sun. At least it has been waxed and rusted to ensure that the Jiuding is still intact.
"How did Jiuding disappear in the long river of history?" Zhiyao still knew that Jiuding was not preserved until modern times and was sent to a museum.
There are many theories about the disappearance of Jiuding in history. Some say that Qin destroyed Ji Zhou and brought it back to Xianyang; some say that King Nan of Zhou had a premonition that the country was in danger and moved Jiuding; some say that King Xian of Zhou moved Jiuding in order not to be exposed to others.
Xiang Yu took it away and deliberately moved the Jiuding and threw it into various river systems to sink; there is also a saying that Xiang Yu burned it with a fire.
No matter which statement is correct, the whereabouts of Jiuding are really a mystery.
Currently, there is no national jade seal. The Jiuding preserved from the Xia Dynasty to Ji Zhou is the national treasure. King Chuzhuang and King Chu Ling successively made actions to "ask for the throne". To put it bluntly, they wanted to replace it.
Did Zhiyao send troops to "Luoyi" in advance to keep an eye on Jiuding? Yes, but it was not an army.
So, if Zhiyao wanted to obtain the Jiuding, why not send the army in advance and snatch the Jiuding after the fall of "Luoyi"? The reason is that sending the army would have to save the Emperor of Zhou, and Zhiyao did not want to save the Emperor of Zhou.
Another point, can the Yuan Kingdom send troops to pretend to rescue "Luoyi"? This really doesn't work.
Not a single soldier was dispatched. The Chu army's capture of "Luoyi" was the fault of all Ji Zhou's feudal states. If the Yuan army failed to rescue them, most of the fault lies with the Yuan state.
Zhiyao can arrange for the army to be ready and set off immediately when the time comes. Any attempt to rescue the Emperor of Zhou will not work, even if it is just a pretense. This is related to the interpretation of the political level.
Regardless of whether the Chu State was willing to admit that they had a history of being ministers of the Emperor of Zhou, they accepted the canonization of the Zhou royal family anyway, and later performed the act of "asking for the throne".
In order to become the leader of the princes and enjoy the "contribution" from each prince and dominate the country, the Jin State once again took up the banner of respecting the king and resisting the barbarians, and started to fight against the Chu State with its great title.
There are actually quite a few 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 was actually the last vassal state willing to carry the flag for the Zhou royal family.
In fact, the Jin State did not have much respect for the Zhou royal family, and later intercepted the tributes paid by the princes to the Zhou Emperor. Of course there were reasons. For example, the Jin State was clearly fighting to prevent the Chu State from destroying the Zhou royal family, but several Zhou Emperors ordered
The states of Qi and Wei made trouble for the state of Jin, which made the state of Jin so angry that it was unwilling to offer tribute vessels to the emperor of Zhou.
Even if Zhiyao could easily destroy the Zhou royal family, he still didn't want to do it.
For no other reason, it is not good to go down and top up, and it should be avoided if possible.
In history, Chengtang once engaged in the operation of Xuanniao to generate business. The Xia expedition was generally popular, but there was no way around it.
It was Ji Zhou's turn to replace Yin Shang. In order to explain why he wanted to conquer his superiors, Ji Zhou not only repeatedly caused so many auspicious events, but also tolerated the persecution he suffered, even to the point of sacrificing his father and brother to make Yin Shang believe in Ji Zhou.
Zhou had no intention of rebelling, but Ji Fa stole his house when he saw that the Yin and Shang armies were out for conquest.
Zhiyao had far more options than the Yin Shang and Ji Zhou. The Chu State, which had twice won the throne, was here. Zhiyao had the Chu army to do the work for him, and there was also a reason to be stuck in a war and unable to escape.
No matter what the contemporary people think, future generations will only see "Chu Army defeated Luoyi" and "In the third year of King Ai of Zhou Dynasty, the original army fought against Chu Army, Zheng Army, Song Army and Yue Army in 'Xinzheng'" when looking at the history books.
"Historical records.
Those records are not wrong at all. They are all facts supported by other historical data, 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 integrity of historians can be completely trusted. If you just look at the historical materials, future 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 Shangyu just for today?" Sima Ranju actually felt quite frustrated in his heart.
Sun Wu saw the disappointment that could not be concealed on Sima Ranju's face, and felt great empathy.
What is the greatest sense of accomplishment in serving as a counselor? Assisting an ordinary monarch to achieve great achievements.
As a master who is a think tank, he anticipates everything before he is effective. He can always give correct advice and prove his own value, and at the same time, he can get a great sense of satisfaction.
Of the two of them, one had proven himself in Wu State, and the other had also proved himself in Qi State. After arriving at Zhishi, although they had repeatedly made contributions and received far better treatment than in Wu State and Qi State, as a arrogant person
The satisfaction is rarely enjoyed.
"Do you think your Majesty will raise troops to attack Chu again in the name of revenge for the Emperor of Zhou?" Sima Ranju asked.
Sun Wu knew that Sima Ranju was asking the question knowingly, so he replied: "It may be possible to attack with words, but it is impossible to send troops."
The strategic goal of the Yuan Kingdom has always been very clear. To weaken the Chu State is a good opportunity to eliminate the corners. How could it change its strategy and send troops to attack the Chu State just because the Chu army captured "Luoyi"?
Sima Ranju asked again: "Will your Majesty release the Lord of Chu?"
Sun Wu understood.
They are not as good as the king Zhiyao in grasping the situation. Are they both wise men and want to compete with each other?
Sun Wu smiled and said: "The Chu army just captured Luoyi and killed the emperor. It is absolutely impossible for you to release the king of Chu this time."
There was no need to wait for Sima Ranju to ask again, Sun Wu continued on his own and said: "After the Zhou Dynasty is destroyed for a long time, or after three years of age, the State of Chu will talk about redeeming the king of Chu again. I think the king will be willing to release him."
So, Zhiyao will not let Chu Junzhong go immediately, but will also interfere with Chu's new king's ascension; if the Chu country elects a new king, or if Zhaogu takes the throne, Zhiyao will take Chu Junzhong in the future.
He was sent back with gifts, and it was impossible to support Chu Junzhong and help Chu Junzhong regain his throne.
Sima Ranju knew that Sun Wu had similar views to his own on how to treat the Chu State, so he changed the subject and asked: "Why did you 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. As Zhiyao's trusted ministers, how could they not realize 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 long-established families with high positions in the Jin Dynasty. They have been on equal footing for too long, and suddenly the relationship has become a relationship between monarch and minister. I believe that not only is the Zhi family awkward, but it will also make the Han family feel mentally unbalanced.
Bar?
The Hu family, like the Zhong family, transformed from a Qing family in the Jin Kingdom to a member of the original country. In addition to being an old Qing family, the Han family was too powerful compared to the Hu family and the Zhong family.
Let’s put it this way? The Fox family and the Zhong family combined are not as strong as 60% of the Han family.
The Han family has a population of about 700,000 to 800,000, maybe more? It is estimated that they account for almost 20% of the original country, and their fiefdoms account for about 15% of the original country's territory.
If the Han family were like the Fox family or the Zhong family, they would definitely not be so conspicuous?
It is precisely because the Han family is too strong that it will inevitably cause many problems for both the Zhi family and the Han family.
Because the Han family is strong enough, it will make the Zhi family fearful.
What is he afraid of? The Zhi family will be afraid that the Han family will one day replace him, or that he will imitate the Zhi family and turn his family into a country.
Zhiyao knew very well that such a powerful family was not allowed to exist in the country. Taking direct action would inevitably frighten the Hu family, Zhong family and other families and rebel. She could 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 obedience.
Since the Han family behaved obediently, there was definitely no reason for Zhiyao to attack the Han family.
"This time, let's see what Situ will do. Seize the Nine Cauldrons and return to the country to present to the king, or seize the Nine Cauldrons and return them to 'Luoyi' to return to the Zhou Dynasty." Sun Wu admitted that he could not make an absolutely correct prediction of Han Geng's choice.
The current Emperor Zhou was killed by someone unknown when "Luoyi" fell. In short, he died.
The absence of the reigning Emperor Zhou does not mean that there will be no one else to succeed the emperor. As long as there are men with close blood relations, someone can always take over. There have been examples in history where the emperor died of heirs and jointly elected a new emperor.
Sima Ranju simply made the matter clear and said: "If Situ seizes the Jiuding, he will occupy all the land of Zhou's family when he returns to the army, and there may be a stigma, but the Han family will have nothing to worry about."
Do they actually think of Zhiyao too cruelly?
Zhiyao does not necessarily need to completely eliminate the Han family. After unifying the world and completing the dynasty change, all Xia will be ruled by the Zhi family. At that time, there will only be one Han family. It does not have to be eliminated. It is okay to use force to suppress others and then slowly 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 definitely make it work from beginning to end, leaving a good story for future generations.
If Zhikai couldn't suppress Han Hu, Zhiyao would have to bear the bad reputation of being the hero of the founding of the country.
In fact, it is like that. The founder of a country cleans up the heroes who founded the country. Most of them are afraid that the successor king will not be able to suppress those heroes, that the country will be in chaos after his death, or that the successor king will not be able to protect the country.
If Zhikai is really unlucky and Zhiyao has no other better choice, he will probably clear out not only the Han family, but also the Hu family, Zhong family and other families that are too big for ordinary people, including all the countries captured during the war.
It is impossible for the kings and nobles to be buried together with them all.
This is Zhiyao borrowing from history. For example, the First Emperor clearly could kill all his enemies but stayed behind, laying hidden dangers for the death of his second generation.
Of course, the root cause of the death of the second generation of the Qin Empire still lies with Hu Hai.
Because of the special nature of the times, Zhiyao is not afraid at all of whether capable people will be buried with him, which will lead to the rise of surrounding alien races.
The current alien races are too weak and there is no way they can threaten the unified dynasty of the Central Plains.
And will there be new talents emerging in the original Congress? This is a matter that is beyond doubt.
These newly emerged talents, under the principle of "study in literature and martial arts, sell them to the emperor's family", there will be too much fame and fortune to attract them to serve the country.
"I am old." Sun Wu sighed.
Sun Wu and Sima Ranju had never chatted for such a long time, and the topic was somewhat sensitive.
When Sima Ranju wanted to say something, someone came over to inform him that it was the monarch who invited him.
When the two of them arrived at Zhiyao's place, they found that many ministers were already there.
Zhiyao motioned to Taihu to explain the situation.
First of all, the fall of "Luoyi" has been confirmed, and will spread throughout the Xia land as time goes by.
Next, a group of ministers from the Zhou royal family fled, and they were coming to "Puyang". They must have wanted to invite the Yuan Kingdom to avenge the Emperor of Zhou.
Then, Chu State envoy Ziqi proposed a request to cede territory to redeem Chu Junzhong. Not only was he willing to recognize the current occupied area of the original army, but he was also willing to cede the entire territory of the original Chen and Cai States to the original state.
Zhi Xuwu was the first to say: "The State of Chu is very sincere."
Indeed, even though the state of Chu is in dire straits now, while acknowledging that the occupation by the original army belongs to the original state, he is also willing to cede so much land at once, which is enough to express his sincerity in redeeming the Chu king.
Fu Guo 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. Chu will have no king."
If there is civil strife, the Lord of Chu must not be allowed to return to his country easily."
Cheng Shuo took over the topic and said: "The emperor was killed by the Chu army, and the princes of the world are now focusing on Dayuan. If he is released to the Chu army easily, he 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, Fu Guo didn't know what he was thinking, so he suggested: "Maybe I won't harm the king of Chu, and I can gain the love of the princes by sending troops to attack the country of Chu."
People who knew the original country's established strategic goals looked at Fu Guo with strange eyes. It was not clear whether Fu Guo knew about the strategic goals or whether he knew the original country's established strategic goals and had any new opinions.
A long time ago, Fu Guo was one of the people who supported Cheng Xiao's rise to power. Later, when Zhiyao came to power and there was no clearing up, Fu Guo would be marginalized to some extent.
The competition for the position of eldest son has passed for a long time. Zhiyao has always been kind to Cheng Xiao, and the auxiliary fruit has also been "unbanned" to some extent.
Zhixuwu thought that Fu Guo had something to say, but Fu Guo just made a suggestion and stood aside. He frowned and said: "The great war in Dayuan Fangli is the time to recuperate. Now that the north of the Huai River belongs to me, I will invade the hinterland."
If there is a large army, less than 400,000, it is difficult to overthrow the country, and if it is not overthrown, attacking it will be useless."
Fuguo obviously didn't understand the situation yet, and said in surprise: "Revenge for the emperor is the foundation of a minister."
Zhiyao, who was thinking about how to receive the fugitive ministers of the Zhou royal family, looked at Fu Guo when he heard this. Seeing the matter-of-fact look on Fu Guo's face, he glanced at the other ministers and could see that many people agreed with Fu Guo's ideas.
Zhiyao thought for a while, coughed a few times to quiet down the hall, and then said: "If we send troops, all the princes in the world have an obligation. We will discuss it later when the minister comes."
