Ji Tong was always concerned about the highest position of power in the Getian clan. Decades ago, he, like most clan leaders, also respected and loved the big leader. However, after one incident, he had no feelings for this leader.
The Getian clan developed a mentality of discrimination and resistance. Speaking of this matter, we must start with the origin of the Getian clan:
The ancestors of the Getian clan are also the northern branch of the Suiren clan. They are a larger tribe of the Dafuxi clan. Their tribesmen mainly live in the southeast of Luoshui.
Feng Gao's grandfather, Feng Shi, was an outstanding figure in the Getian tribe. He was elected as the chief of the Getian tribe at the age of nineteen. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he was dismissed by the sixtieth emperor of Fuxi and Nuwa's regime at the age of twenty-five.
Luo Qin took a fancy to him and summoned him to the imperial capital as a minister in power. The early years of Luo Qin's rule were pretty good, the society was stable and the people were happy. In the later period, because of Feng Shi's outstanding political achievements, he was favored by Luo Qin when he was twenty-five years old.
Luo Qin trusted Feng Shi, the chief of Getian clan, as the ruling minister. He trusted him very much and soon handed over the real power of the court to him.
Feng Shi took advantage of Emperor Luo Qin's trust in him and the convenience of being in charge of the government. He made friends with the ministers of the court and the chiefs of various tribes, expanded his political power wantonly, and formed parties for personal gain. Soon he controlled the entire government and completely ignored Youchao.
The second emperor of the family, Qin Fengshi, gradually ignored Emperor Luo Qin, and he had the final say in all matters in the court.
Of course, Luo Qin, the second emperor of the Chao clan, was not confused. After he became aware of Feng Shi's political ambitions, he tried to reduce his power, but it was too late. In order to strengthen his own strength, Feng Shi discussed with the elders of his clan.
, the ministers in the court who joined the Nuwa clan's power all sided with Feng Shi, and Luo Qin's words were ignored at all. When Emperor Luo Qin was about to pass the throne to his nephew in his later years, Feng Shi firmly opposed it.
He believed that none of the descendants of the Chao family were outstanding and had no qualifications to rule the world. He suggested that Emperor Luo Qin recommend talented people from other tribes as successors to the throne. The implication was that he would recommend himself. Emperor Luo Qin knew it very well, although he had already
After seeing the ambition of Feng Shi, he had no choice but to lose power at this time. It was too late to fight. He had no choice but to resist passively and simply refused to recommend anyone as the heir to the throne. In this way, Luo Qin lost power in the government in his later years, that is, he was affected by Feng.
Being ostracized by the ministers and condemned by the people of his tribe, he was psychologically depressed and eventually suffered from depression. His condition gradually worsened and he died of illness in the palace of Biyang (of course, this palace was only a symbol of Luo Qin's status).
The corresponding title is not the Qionglouyuyu of later generations) and the Jitong clan is the clan leader who urged Luo Qin to prevent Feng Shi from entering the court as a minister. Jitong also forged a hatred with the Getian clan because of this.
In a huge and tragic tribal war years ago, the Gonggong clan cut off the Buzhou Mountain that blocked the river, causing the river to flow backwards, floods, and the land covered with devastation. Jitong had no choice but to follow the Emperor Fengshi and migrate south to where he is now.
on land
The Shaodian family and the Youyu family who lived in the ancient Kunlun Mountains, Qilian Mountains, Buzhou Mountains and Qin'an Dadiwan gradually became prosperous after the floods. They moved to the Changyang Mountain area in the Qinling Mountains and rebuilt the Guantian Sacrifice Center, which gradually developed.
and multiplied the "Yanhuang Clan", and the later Emperors Yan and Huang and the military leader Chi You also established the Yan Emperor's regime, the Huang Emperor's regime, and Chi You's Jiuli Clan regime on this basis.
Originally, Ji Tong only had anger and contempt for Feng Shi, but he never meant to despise him. Therefore, during the days when Feng Shi was still in power, Ji Tong had been working diligently and did not dare to do anything wrong to the Getian clan. However, this kind of awe
Soon after the death of Feng Shi, Ji Tong gradually disappeared, and as the candidates for the throne came to light, Ji Tong's anger and ambition that had been dormant for many years gradually emerged.
Speaking of the Getian clan, although its current strength is much weaker than it was in Biyang, there is no doubt that a clan and tribe alliance with a population of nearly 70,000 is a powerful presence in any land. From its origins
Orthodoxy speaking, it is also the continuation of Fuxi and Nuwa's clan power. Therefore, the great leader is a throne that almost every clan leader is eager to sit on.
However, Ji Tong, who was favored by the public, did not win the favor of Emperor Feng Shi. This was only because the incident that year prompted Feng Shi to learn the lessons of Luo Qin, the second emperor of the Youchao family, and firmly grasp the power of governance.
In his later years, Feng Shi recommended his nephew Feng Gao as the heir to the throne.
This Feng Gao is not good at anything in terms of governance, war, people's livelihood and other matters, but he has two things that can make him more favored by his grandfather Feng Shi - musical instruments and conspiracy.
Feng Gao loved music. He liked to listen to the chirping of insects, birds, and various sounds from nature since he was a child. He was almost a genius born for music. Therefore, Feng Gao, who was childless in his later years, particularly liked him and called him into the
When Feng Shi, the imperial capital of Gezhai, stayed with him to accompany him in his old age, he intended to pass the throne to his nephew Feng Gao, so he asked him to assist him in managing the government affairs. After he became familiar with government affairs, he formally recommended him to the throne to the gods and clan subjects.
heir
Some people may ask, it is too easy to select the emperor. Isn’t it a bit unbelievable that one can inherit the throne just by being proficient in music? In fact, this is not surprising, because at that time, the decision to determine the successor to the throne was basically made by the ruling emperor alone.
After all, the so-called recommendation is just a formality. The ruling emperor (or the great leader, which is the title of the real emperor with the same meaning, and everyone knows that it was Ying Zheng who started it) selects his successor based entirely on personal preferences, so to speak.
Whoever can do it can do it, people outside have no idea at all
However, it would be too hasty to say that Feng Gao obtained the throne from Feng Shi just like that. You should know that Feng Shi was an old cunning man, and he was not confused. He was still holding on tightly before his death.
However, Feng Gao's conspiracy methods were only revealed in Feng Shi's later years.
Feng Shi also has a niece named Zhilong, who is very talented and was originally a popular candidate for chief of the Getian tribe. His nephew Feng Qian is brave and good at fighting and has outstanding military exploits. In the early days when the Getian tribe migrated to the south, he fought in all directions.
, and also conquered many barbarian tribes and lands for the tribe. Under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for Feng Gao to take the throne of the great chief.
However, the world is unpredictable. No one could have expected that even though he was in his old age, Emperor Feng Shihui was still strong and died suddenly. When Feng Shi died, Feng Qianzheng and Ji Tongzheng led their troops to fight against the barbarians in the eastern mountains.
Gao Zai Ge Zhai (the center of political power of the Getian clan) immediately killed all the civil servants and generals who opposed him, including the important minister Zhilong, and easily took the position of leader of the Getian clan. Feng Qian said what he said after knowing this
Bufa thought about it in the big tent for several days, and finally he persuaded Ji Tong, who was furious. He was not willing to tear apart the country that his uncle Feng Shi and they had built through decades of hardships for the sake of a throne. So,
Regardless of the strong opposition of his veteran minister Ji Tong, he took three hundred warriors back to Gezhai to attend the funeral of his uncle Feng Shi and congratulate Feng Gao on his ascension to the throne.
Just as Ji Tong predicted, how could Feng Gao believe that Feng Qian would give up the throne? He judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and Feng Qian who would not let Feng Qian go no matter what, knew it himself, so he was getting peace
After even promising not to kill his wife and children, Feng Qian committed suicide by kissing his sword. He was so great that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the great cause of the Getian clan.
As for Ji Tong, because he is a veteran of his uncle's generation, and the Ji Tong clan is powerful and well-established in Gezhai, even his uncle Feng Zhe is afraid of him. Feng Gao, who has just ascended the throne, naturally does not dare to deal with this confidant.
What's the strange behavior of the big patient?
After Feng Gao got rid of his two cousins, he also started his great cause of governing the country, or the great cause of governing the clan. In this era of clan alliance, it is really too flattering to call it a country.
This Feng Gao indeed has no talent for governing the country. What he has is the quality of a conspirator, and he also possesses all the evil deeds of a foolish king: greed for money, lust, cruelty and murderousness, nepotism, judging right and wrong based on his own likes and dislikes, and listening to treacherous villains.
What happened next was very natural. Many tribes were overly oppressed and began to develop resistance. So the more repressed they were, the more clans resisted the orders of the big leader. Such a vicious cycle caused the strength of the Getian clan to rapidly weaken.
, simply unable to conquer the four seas and expand the territory
Attacking the alliance's key points, they failed many times and fled. Of course, Hua Xi's strategizing and the tribe's civilization and technology were responsible for the victory, but it was also caused by the inherent instability of the Getian people. If the Getian people are of one mind and work together,
Next, how can a mere alliance pass withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops? Looking back at the past research, we can see that the leaders of the various clans of the Getian clan have selfish motives. No one is willing to bear the greatest losses and the greatest responsibilities.
The main factors that lead to Ge Tian's external strong-willed nature
Now, Feng Gao is doing the most serious mistake he has made since taking the throne, which is to turn the underground suppression of the Jitong clan and the Youhu tribe into an active suppression on the surface. Although Jitong has the intention to rebel and usurp the throne,
But he was still struggling in his heart. After all, although he had a deep hatred for Feng Shi in the past, since the migration, his clan has gradually integrated into the Getian clan, and he is also highly respected in the government and the public. Until the last moment, Ji
I'm afraid Tong is still struggling with the author's strong thoughts.
But now, Ji Tong has nothing to think about. The current situation is reversed. It is just a matter of time and timing.
