Zhao Xing was extremely entangled in his heart when facing the suggestion of occupying Hetao alone.

What is entangled is his original thoughts, current situation, and relationship between Zhao Yong.

Thinking back to the beginning, when I met Zhao Yong, I traveled hard in the jungle to rely on each other for life and death, and had already formed a friendship between life and death. I also vowed to assist Zhao Yong as the throne of the emperor. But this vow is still in my ears. Why did I break my promise and gain ambition?

Although students often betray teachers but not often, well, there are also not.

Zhao Xing was startled by his thoughts and searched through the history books in his mind. Finally, he found that there was no such thing as the teacher betrayed the students.

OK, okay, the reason why I can have such a terrible idea that I want to ruin the reputation of the teacher team is that there are villains around me. For example, that villain is urging to talk big.

Xu Jie was still planning a bright future there. He didn't know that he had been classified as a villain by his future lord.

But even if he knew, it didn't matter, because he himself thought that since he followed Zhao Xing, he had become a real villain.

"Okay, don't say it, I don't know when Lin Hu's internal strife began. At the beginning, we must never seize their territory. That will make them unite and fight against us. In the blink of an eye, they will become one rope to deal with us. In the end, it will be backfire and not cost-effective. Qin Mo, now you will quietly unite the Zhou elites in Hetao, unite and protect Hetao. I will leave you with the three thousand soldiers I brought this time, defend the five cities of Yifeili Xingshou, and you cannot let the Qin people take the opportunity to occupy Hetao. Of course, what I leave to you is the foundation of my three hundred Junqiu Shi, who are absolutely loyal and reliable. As long as you recruit the Zhou people in Hetao, you will be an army of 100,000 in a blink of an eye."

Qin Mo kowtowed happily: "Sir, I will implement it firmly."

Yin Qiyong took on the heavy burden: "Please keep me and help Qin Mo."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Just relying on Qin Mo to defend himself alone, the safety of the five cities cannot be guaranteed, and the attack of the Qin people cannot be stopped. Therefore, we will go back and train the army again, and prepare to ask the old general to lead troops to recover Hexi and use it to restrain Qin. Then connect Hexi and Hetao into one. Once King Lin Hu is defeated, I will use Lin Huxiang to help clean up the mess."

Zhao Xing clapped: "The Lord is far-sighted, so that he can be justified and others cannot interfere."

"In order to make the internal strife within Lin Hu longer, Qin Mo."

"Master." Qin Mo has now taken care of himself as a retainer of Zhao Xing.

"You have to fully support King Lin Hu. Of course, occasionally there is a shortage of money and food, which is inevitable. Is that King Lin Hu's younger brother? I will send a caravan to trade with them. Do you understand this principle?"

Qin Mo smiled: "It's not just that I'm helping the weak and resisting the strong, my subordinates understand."

After arranging all this, Zhao Xing hurriedly said: "I will hurry up and go to Zhouyuan to ask for a ban, and then go back to Dai County to recruit soldiers and prepare to recover Hexi."

With a thousand gold, five thousand kilograms of gold and fifty hu of gold, Zhao Xing set foot on Zhouyuan.

It makes sense for Zhao Xing to ask for a title.

He reported to Yao's descendants, according to the Zhou rituals, he needed to be awarded a fiefdom to worship his ancestors.

At that time, the king of Chen, Guiman, was a descendant of Emperor Shun. In the year of King Wu, he was granted the title of Chen and established the capital Wanqiu, and asked him to keep the priest of Emperor Shun. Later, King Wu searched for the descendants of Dayu, and finally proved that Donglou Duke was a descendant of Dayu. In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou conferred him to Qi land and asked him to keep the priest of Emperor Yu. In order to follow the tradition of "restoring and destroying", Duke Zhou of Shang was granted the title of King Zhou of Shang to be the old capital of Shangqiu, and established the State of Song. He specially allowed him to use the rituals and music of the emperor to serve the priests of Shang Dynasty and became guests with Zhou. He is still bullied by various princes on the edge of Zhao.

But if you search for the descendants of Emperor Yao but don’t get it, it will be left alone.

This time, Zhao Xing suddenly jumped out, and was recognized by the historian Lu Hou. At that time, the King of Zhou had nowhere to be granted, so he only gave him an empty title of title. It is said that the Emperor of Zhou was very ashamed of this, and he did not hesitate to surrender the nobles for this, and sent envoys to apologize to Zhao Xing.

Now he can go with the right way and grant Zhao Xing a piece of land, so why not do it?

The current Zhou emperor is Ji Bian, and later he was named King Xian.

During his reign, it was an era when the princes all became kings but he had no choice. From him, the princes no longer took the Emperor of Zhou seriously.

For this reason, King Xian of Zhou was depressed every day, and eventually said that he died of illness, but rather that he died of depression.

King Xian of Zhou is very happy now, because in the past few decades, no prince has come to see him and worship him. Now, Zhou Bo Zhao Xing comes to see him and pay tribute, which is a great face.

Therefore, King Xian of Zhou ordered the Zhou Dynasty to rule Zhou Gongxian to go out of the city to greet him instead of him.

The title of Duke was originally very prominent, and the Duke was the only one of the people of the Ji surname. The surname of King Zhou, Ji, and the title of Duke means that those who enjoy the title of Duke are qualified to inherit the throne.

However, not all people with the Ji surname are qualified to be dukes, and the king of Jin State also had a surname Ji, but he was originally granted the title of Tang State and Marquis. Later, he changed it to Jin and called himself "Duke". He called himself "Duke" here, just like the current princes and kings, they all called themselves "Duke of Jin" and had no value anymore.

The duke welcomed the Count. Although he was incompatible with the rituals, the rituals had collapsed and the music was broken. It would be a great thing to have an earl to meet the emperor.

When the two sides met, Zhao Xing regarded himself as a subordinate and presented a pair of white walls. This was the most basic etiquette.

Duke Zhou has been there for a long time, and I can't remember it for a long time. What was the last time I accepted the gift of the princes?

Entering the capital and meeting the emperor was a completely complex etiquette process. This allowed Zhao Xing to appreciate the authentic Zhou rituals and made him sigh at the profoundness of Central Plains culture.

Then he presented his gift. Then he heard the sound of his chin falling from the ground in the Emperor's Hall.

Zhao Xing heard a nobleman sigh and said to himself: "The creditors this year don't have to bully the emperor. We can live a good life in the past few years."

Then Zhao Xing presented the letter of promise from King Wei and the letter of recommendation from King Zhao, asking Emperor Zhou to appoint himself as the Lord of Xihe.

The envoys of Zhao and Wei had long been informed of this matter. After receiving such a huge bribe, the Emperor of Zhou happily accepted Zhao Xing's request and granted Zhao Xing the Marquis and the fief of Xihe. He also granted Zhao Xing the former old name of Jin, Tang, to Zhao Xing. Now Zhao Xing is the monarch of Tang and a formal vassal.

As for whether he can get Xihe in the future, he doesn't care, but what Zhao Xing wants is legal recognition. As for how Zhao Xing gets along with the monarch of Zhao, he doesn't care.

There is no obvious hierarchy difference between the marquis and the earl. Generally speaking, the war zone governor who guarded the border for the King of Zhou in the border areas was called the "marquis". Because he was at the border, for domestic security, his resources could not help but lean towards him. Therefore, during foreign wars, his treatment was slightly more than that of the earl.

Because in principle, mastering the war and protecting the Zhou emperor is equivalent to mastering military power. Those who hold military power are much more tough than civil servants who only hold a seal, so they have the status of being on the public. They also say that fists determine the position of their butts.

At the banquet, Emperor Zhou ate nine tripods, eight guis and thirty-six beans, mainly cabbage and tofu, to test Zhao Xing's attitude towards him in the future.

Zhao Xing respectfully replied that he would be in the north to protect the security of Zhou Yuan and not be bullied by the tyrannical Qin. He would meet him four times every five years, and each time he offered no less than two thousand kilograms of gold. At that time, the Emperor Zhou and his ministers laughed at him and were blinded. With such a large amount of income, the Emperor Zhou could order people to remove the debt.

So, in the seven hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty, the last prince who was officially conferred by the Zhou emperor and was officially recognized jumped out.
