When Qi Jun Chujiu learned that "Linzi" had fallen and the country's ritual vessels had been plundered, he died of rage and rage.
Although Zhisong has worked very hard to eliminate some negative public opinions about Zhiyao, because Jin's hegemony has been ended, what he can do is to control his own public opinion, and other countries cannot suppress how they comment on Zhiyao.
Now, Zhiyao became the battlefield commander of the Jin army, conquered "Puyang" and surrounded the palace city. The two sides had just agreed to hold an alliance under the city, but Wei Junyuan passed away within a few days!
In this way, the deaths of Qi Junchujiu and Wei Junyuan are related to Zhiyao. I wonder if the world will give Zhiyao the nickname of King Killer?
If Zhiyao had that nickname, it would be very troublesome to do many things, and the fight with the king of Jin would definitely be fierce.
So, Wei Junyuan passed away suddenly, should the alliance ceremony between Jin and Wei still be held?
If it were an era when Zhou rites were stable, when the king of a country died, even the sworn enemy would temporarily retreat, waiting for the funeral to be completed and a new king to take the throne, before declaring war again and coming to attack.
Don't think it's a joke, and it's not very benevolent. It's purely a war that doesn't focus on plundering land. It's a war of "conquest" mode.
What does it mean? To put it bluntly, the main purpose of war between princes is to conquer the other party. As long as the enemy surrenders and plays small, pays the "contribution (protection fee)" on time and in amount every year, and brings troops to wait for orders when called, it is actually enough.
. This is the so-called "conquest" war in the Spring and Autumn Period.
To allow a country whose monarch has died to elect a new monarch and then attack again is just to facilitate the collection of protection fees.
Wei Guo himself completed the change of monarchy at a rapid speed, and the person who took over as the new monarch of Wei was Gongsun Yu.
Note that he is Gongsun, not Young Master.
"What? Kuai Chi, the son of the Marquis of Wei, has already fled the country, and the ministers support him and becomes the new king?" Zhiyao was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Kuai Kuai was the crown prince of Wei State. His escape actually had little to do with Jin State's attack on "Puyang". He simply wanted to kill Nan Zi, the temptress in his eyes. However, Nan Zi informed Wei Jun Yuan first, and he escaped.
Went to Song Dynasty.
At that stage, the Song State had a hostile relationship with the Wei State, but a prince from one country still received good hospitality when he came to the Song State.
Nanzi is still alive. When the palace city was besieged, Wei Junyuan was so distraught that he collapsed. She was still arranging various matters, including asking Qu Yuan to negotiate with the "Yuanrong" of Jin.
What surprised Zhiyao was not that Kuai Kuai fled the country early, but that the minister of Wei did not go to find Kuai Kuai to come back to succeed him, but skipped the "gongzi" and let the "gongsun" succeed him.
There is a very meaningful story about Weiguo himself. They actually did this because of internal and external pressure.
The external pressure faced by Weiguo is of course the Jin army. If the alliance is not signed earlier, Weiguo will be the fish on the chopping board of Jin. It must admit defeat, cut off the land, and then offer wealth, silk and people, and let the Jin army leave the enemy as soon as possible.
It seems very important to them.
What else could be the internal pressure? Although Nanzi did not make any remarks, the nobles of the Wei Kingdom must not forget that although the relationship between the young master Kuai Kuai and Nanzi was mother and son, they got along extremely badly.
In fact, Nanzi was given the right to manage the country and had done a pretty good job all along. However, the young master Kuai Chi had not done anything serious, not to mention that the young master Kuai Chi had not shown any outstanding talents at all.
So, the nobles of Wei State discussed for a while and decided not to bring back the young master Kuai Chi to disgust the capable Nanzi, but directly supported Gongsun Yu to succeed to the throne.
Zhiyao asked again: "Did Wei Guoyan and Wei Jun die of illness?"
Zigong replied with a rather sad expression: "Exactly. Without mentioning anything else, I concluded that he had been ill for a long time and finally fell ill."
In other words, the Wei people themselves declared that the death of the late monarch had nothing to do with outsiders. It was simply that he was ill for too long and ran out of energy to reach the end of his life.
Zhiyao thought to herself: "Nanzi is such an outstanding woman!"
Needless to say, it must be Nanzi who sealed the coffin and sold the Zhi family a big favor, and at the same time created a better environment for Wei to get along with the Jin in the future.
Otherwise, public opinion spreads that Wei Junyuan was forced to death by the Jin people, and the Jin people will doubt whether Wei Guo wants revenge all the time. There will also be people in Wei Guo who have too much hatred for Jin and do things.
A new national war will break out between the two countries at any time.
The reality is that the Wei State cannot defeat the Jin State at all, and its powerful ally Qi State will soon be overwhelmed by itself. What can the Wei State use to continue to compete with the Jin State? Use your heart to use the sharp sword of the Jin people!
"How old is Nanzi this year? I've never paid attention to it." Zhiyao had the idea of meeting Nanzi.
There is no record of Nanzi's birth year in the history books, but it is recorded that his life ended in 479 BC.
Wei Yuan, who had just passed away, had been fascinated by Nanzi all his life, and obeying his advice was still a child's play. Some unofficial historians even mentioned that he didn't blame Nanzi for having a tryst with his lover.
Zhiyao asked someone to ask behind him, and when he heard Nanzi's age, he showed a surprised expression: "Thirty-three years old?"
What the hell!
Nanzi was a native of the Song Dynasty and the daughter of Song Jun. The marriage between him and Wei Yuan was a perfect match.
Kuai Chi, the young master who fled the country, was Nan Zi's biological son, and Gongsun Noi, who had just succeeded to the throne, was Nan Zi's biological grandson.
Then, Nanzi, who even has grandchildren, is only thirty-three years old???
"Women can have children after they reach the age of hairpins. Could it be that Nanzi gave birth to Kuai Chi at the age of thirteen, and Kuai Chi gave birth to the current Wei Junzhu at the age of fifteen or sixteen?" What Zhiyao knew was that Wei Junzhu was only four years old.
age.
So, it is obvious that Nanzi will be in charge of Weiguo in the future. Otherwise, what can Wei Junzhuo, who is only four years old, do?
Becoming a grandma at the age of thirty-three is not uncommon in modern times, but it is definitely very rare.
It is now the late Spring and Autumn Period, and it is rare for a woman to give birth once she is able to produce eggs, usually after the age of eighteen, or even in her twenties, which is more mature.
It’s not nonsense. Nobles may have been engaged for a long time, but very few people got married early. Civil marriage followed the aristocrats and formed a trend.
Zhu Xia began to get married and have children in large numbers in their teens. This happened in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the population was declining due to years of war. The first queen in history... The First Emperor did not have a queen. Liu Bang's first wife Lu Fei was the first queen of Zhu Xia. She
In order to quickly restore the population, a decree was issued that women must marry early. If you do not marry when you are old enough, you will have to pay a fine. If you cannot pay the fine, you will be forced to marry an official.
Zhiyao thought of something again and murmured: "Wei Jue? Isn't he the protagonist of 'Wei Jue rejects his father'?"
This allusion of "Wei Jue rejected his father" tells the story of Wei Jue, the king of Wei State, who refused to allow his father, Wei Kuaikui, to return to his country.
Whether Wei He was afraid that Wei Kuai would return to the National Assembly and seize power, or whether he was worried that he would kill his grandmother Nan Zi, who can tell clearly after so many years.
According to historical records, Wei Kuaiyi killed his mother Nanzi after returning to China, and then took away the throne of his son Weijue.
The idea of meeting Nanzi became more and more intense in Zhiyao.
It's not that Zhiyao wants to do something to Nanzi, or there is no reason related to the color at all. She just wants to see what Nanzi looks like, how she can make Wei Yuan fascinated, and how she can have many lovers...
…,wrong!
It should be said that Zhiyao felt that if she saw what kind of woman Nanzi was who would be in charge of the country in the future, she could get a glimpse of Nanzi's foreign policies during her time in power.
"Mr. Wei is young, and Mrs. Wei will be there then." When Zhizong learned why Zhiyao wanted to see Nanzi, she was very supportive.
That "madam" is a class in the harem, not just a title.
He also said: "Qi Jun Zi Palace has returned to the country. Next year I (Jin State) will ally with Qi State in Mount Tai."
Half a year is enough time for the new king of Qi to succeed to the throne and then discuss how to redeem the ritual vessels from Jin.
Zhiyao knew that Nanzi would appear at the alliance ceremony and was thinking about how to have an interview.
"When Yin goes to Qi State, my family needs to help him get the position of minister." The position of minister mentioned by Zhishuang is the minister of Qi State, but it is not the kind of "qing" in Jin State.
All countries have "Qing", but their power is not as great as that of the Qing Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty. It is more like a rank that shows status, which is the so-called Qing Dafu.
If you put it this way, Zhongxingyin will develop in Qi State, and from now on it will belong to the nobility of Qi State.
Regarding this point, Zhizong is obviously supportive, but I don't know what Zhao Yang will do.
Zhiyao also asked.
"The commander-in-chief doesn't know about this, what will happen even if he knows?" Zhizhuo showed a rare domineering moment.
Of course, the grandson would not disgrace his grandfather, say a few words to flatter him, think carefully about how to prevent Zhao from intervening in Qi State, and really complete the bullshit that his grandfather had blown out.
"The worst thing to do is let Zhong Xingyin come as an envoy to negotiate the redemption of the ritual vessels. Let Zhong Xingyin make great contributions to Qi." Zhiyao thought to himself.
Once Zhongxing Yin becomes a noble of the Qi State, he will no longer have the prefix of "Zhongxing" in the future. Instead, he will choose one of the newly obtained fiefdoms as a name prefix. And basically, he must still be a member of the Xun family, and he can be a member of the Xun family.
When Qi is in power, it can interact well with the Zhi family.
Zhiyao was thinking about how the Zhi family could cooperate with the Zhongxing family in the future. If the operation was done well, there would be great prospects. She heard a call in her ears and turned around to see Zhi Suo with a puzzled face.
Just now Zhizhuo called out ten times before he woke Zhiyao out of his thoughts and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhiyao didn't hide anything and said what she just thought about.
"This is the story of the Zhao family whose surname is Ying." Zhizhuo was talking about the cooperation between the Zhao family of Jin and the Zhao family of Qin.
It’s just right? The perfect cooperation between the Zhao family of Jin and the Zhao family of Qin happened a long time ago. As Qin repeatedly waged undeclared war against Jin, the Qin army even committed massacres of Li Shu in Jin.
, the Zhao family of Jin State has seemingly severed contact with the Zhao family of Qin State, and it is impossible to draw a clear line between them.
Zhiyao came to see Zhizong today to have other matters, and to report that the platform for the alliance meeting has been built.
"In this case, we will make an alliance in three days. Then you will find an opportunity to meet Mrs. Wei for a while." Zhishuo said.
