Chapter 1033 Listed as princes (1)

"Zhao wants to be a prince!?"

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone expressed different degrees of surprise.

The emperor established a country and the princes established their families. This was a necessary condition for establishing a country in the Zhou Dynasty. Because if the name was not correct, the words would not go well, and if the words were not smooth, things would not go well. Although the Zhou family declined, it was ultimately the common ruler of the world. Therefore, if a new country was to be born legally, it must first be approved by the emperor before it could be granted land and people and be the princes!

For similar things, in the early Zhou Dynasty, some princes were enthroned out almost every year, but the problem is that the current Chengzhou dusk is so strong that it is the most conservative, old-fashioned and afraid of new things in the world. The doctor Gan once appointed a foreigner, but was killed by his relatives angrily. Prince Chao was determined to reform the Zhou family, but was driven away by conservative forces and he was unable to die well. The Zhou emperor is now even more unintentional. He was afraid of change and just wanted to curl up in the snail shell made by his ancestors to be an ostrich.

Therefore, the three princes of Zheng, Lu and Wei families rushed to Zhou and openly requested titles for Zhao's family in the hall, which scared the King of Zhou.

If you want to allow it, it does not match the modern rules of the Zhou Shi. If you want to refuse, you are afraid of Zhao's revenge.

It was difficult to make a decision for a while, so the emperor had to use the trick of dragging the word.

"This matter should be discussed for a long time. My uncle has nothing to do, so he returns to Ning's house and wait for the good news!"

According to the rules, the first visit to the court was over. The three princes had already brought their words and bowed and came out again.

The emperor hurriedly left with Guanzi. He had to go back and calm down. Wait for the order, Liu and the public discussed the result before communicating with him.

As soon as the emperor and the three princes left, the entire hall returned to its former disorder, and the doctors expressed their opinions in a noisy and noisy manner.

"The second and third sons are quiet!" Liu Cheng tried his best to calm them down and said, "Zhao Qing just gave two great gifts to the royal family. One was the six cities taken away by Zheng State, and the other was the joint visits of the three princes after more than a hundred years. The royal family was maintained, which was due to Zhao Qing's strength."

But the conservative Chengzhou doctors still did not understand the status quo. Someone muttered: "Although the Zhao family made contributions, Guan Yiwu also made great contributions to the emperor back then. In the Xia Dynasty, Guan Zi was able to rank among the country at most, and won some honors under the superiority. That's all, how could he have ever had the ambition to covet the throne of princes?"

"Zhuo Baqing and the Grand Duke became a prince. This matter has never happened since Duke Xiang of Qin was granted the title. It is inconsistent with the ancestor system. You should not make any mistakes easily, so as not to follow the examples of the nobles and officials in the world."

Liu Cheng was completely desperate for these Chengzhou doctors who could not succeed. Zhao's army was eyeing him around Cheng. At this time, he dared to reject Zhao Wuxi's wish, but the scene would be much ugly. He looked at Shan Ping. In fact, as long as the two of them convinced the emperor, Liu Cheng hoped that others could share the responsibility for this matter. After all, if a different surname was promoted to a prince, he would probably be hated and scolded by Chengzhou doctors afterwards.

Shan Ping did not answer, but his eyes looked at the hall gate, and a messenger with deep clothes and wide sleeves was slowly stepping in.

It was Chu Long, a pedestrian used by Zhao Wuxi, who had just watched the entire court meeting at the end of the hall and the farce of the royal family hesitation and excuse.

Chu Long was graceful and well-behaved, making people feel like spring breeze, but when he opened his mouth, he said something that was a threat to the naked.

"There may be something that the Shangqing asked the three princes to repost, and they may not explain clearly."

Seeing everyone listening carefully, Chu Long clasped his sleeves and said lightly: "When Chu State first attacked Sui State, Chu Zixiong Tong asked Sui State to pass a message to the emperor: 'I am a barbarian, and now all the princes are rebels and invading each other, or killing each other. I have bad armor and want to observe China's policies and ask the royal family to respect my name.' Chu State wants the royal family to add their titles and promote them from the lowest-ranking Zi State to the marquis and priests."

"Of course, the emperor and Zhou nobles knew that the title must not be changed easily, and no one dared to set this precedent, so he asked Suihou to bring back a negative reply. Xiong Tong was furious and said: My ancestor Yuxiong used to be the teacher of King Wen. King Cheng appointed my grandfather Xiong Yi as his son-in-law, who lived in Chu as his son. Now all the barbarians in the south respect Chu. Chu has such great achievements, but the emperor is stingy with a name? Okay! If the king does not add the position, I respect myself! So he proclaimed himself King Wu of Chu..."

After saying that, Chu Long bowed again and turned around and left the hall, leaving only a group of officials and officials silent...

"I don't have the position of the king, I respect myself..." Shan Ping chewed this sentence and thought about the meaning of it.

Zhao Wuxiu gave enough face to the royal family, returned the lost land, and asked the three princes to pay tribute to Zhou. If the Zhou king refused his wish in this way, it would probably be a storm...

Unlike the Chu people who were regarded as barbarians who were appointed as kings in Jianghan, if Zhao was angry and openly escaped from the corrupt order of the Zhou Dynasty, the entire Central Plains would be turned upside down! I don’t know if the residences and family temples of the ministers and officials present can still be preserved, and I don’t know if the crown of the Zhou emperor can still be preserved.

Shan Ping and Liu Cheng looked at each other, no longer cared about the doctors who seemed to be wilted, and hurried to the emperor's bedroom...

On the winter solstice, at dusk in the afternoon, the emperor agreed to the request of the three kings of Zheng, Lu, Wei, and Shan and Liu Ergong to allow Zhao to be listed as princes!

Your concession made many people in Chengzhou feel relieved, but new questions followed one after another: Any prince must have a real title. Where should the Zhao family's fiefdom be? And what level should Zhao Qing's title be?

The issue of titles is a time for scholars and officials who are familiar with the ritual system of titles and other rituals to study it slowly. Zhao had already had a solution to the issue of fiefdom. On the day after the winter solstice, a letter from Jin State was sent to the Zhou emperor on time...

...

This book was written by a young and weak king of Jin State who succeeded to the throne for less than a year, but the things on it were obviously not something that a mere young man could say.

The full text first talks about the history of Tang Shuyu's enthronement in Xiaxu and establishing Jin State, and repents the wrong state of the country in the Quwo of Jin State. This hidden danger has always been hidden under the fate of Jin State. Duke Xian and Duke Wen were nothing, but it finally broke out in modern times, so that after Duke Ping of Jin, there was a situation where "Daoling of Jin was a long time ago, Duke Ping, Duke Qing and Duke Zhao, the order of the world was lost."

By the time of Duke Shang of Jin, "the treacherous ministers were in chaos, the strong tribes fought against tigers, the counties and towns were divided, Jizhou was in a turmoil, vipers blocked the road, and natural disasters were rampant inside and outside Taihang..."

Speaking of this, the young Jin Hou Ji was crying and unable to say anything. In short, the Jin court could no longer maintain it.

However, at this time of crisis, the savior of Jin State appeared...

The book uses extremely exaggerated and exaggerated words to describe it: "At this time, the land of the celestial land was not yet Jin, so how could a man be regained the people of Jin? Fortunately, Zhao Wuzi raised an army in Henoi, raised the banner of righteousness, and cleared the traitors, which made the treacherous ministers look at each other and dared not do anything wrong. Wuzi was unfortunately sympathetic, and Zhao Qing did not care about the previous experience, and was benevolent. He promoted Shenwu, plowed the Fan, went to Zhongxing, and Zhiqian, and the Xia, Qing Ding District. He went to Daitu to recover the barbarians... "After that, he defeated Qin, Qi, and Zheng, and crushed the achievements of the Wei family's rebellion. He was really "are good at teaching and was surrounded by voices and education."

According to Jin Hou Ji, Zhao's virtue not only received support from the people, but even the gods responded. In July, when Zhao Wuxiu's thirty-year-old birthday, a mysterious bird sang in Yinxu, flying back and forth on the Lutai site, and was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Afterwards, the Zhao family's minister Shi Qi dug out two cauldrons near the ruins of Chaoge Lutai. After cleaning, he asked the historian to identify them, namely the Earlai Ding and the Ji Sheng Ding, both of which were cast by their father Fei Lian.

For a time, this became evidence that the Ying surname would be revived. I remember that the Ying surname was originally a prince of the Shang Dynasty, but Muye became a vassal after the war. Later, Duke Xiang of Qin was listed as a prince. However, Qin is still a small clan of the Zhao family. The small clan is a prince and the big clan is a minister. How can this be the reason?

So based on this, the Marquis of Jin bowed his head in the book and said again, asking the emperor to comply with the will of the gods and the people, and let the Zhao family be listed as a prince, as for the land of the capital...

He said that if it weren't for the Zhao family, Jin State would have lost all its land and could have recovered to a territory of thousands of miles, which was due to Zhao Qing's power. It can be said that in the current Jin State, every inch of land was captured by Zhao Wuxiu.

At the end of the book, Jin Hou Ji asked with great utmost urge:

"Now, a boy is not virtuous, weak and incompetent, and cannot defend his country and protect the people. Instead of having a place of corpse, it is better to avoid his position and give way to the wise. The boy is willing to return to his ancestral land, Quwo, and only lives in one city. All the territory of Jin are returned to the Zhao family. He asked Zhao Qing to be listed as a prince and govern the people on behalf of Jin... The eastern and western Taihang, the Great Heritage, and the Jizhou calendar is actually Zhao family. This is also the wish of Tang Shuyu, Duke Wen, and Duke Mo! I hope the Heavenly King will allow it!"

ps: There is only one chapter tonight, and I will make up for the third update tomorrow (to be continued.)
