Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 41 New Era
The sudden appearance of the Wu and Yue countries was fatal to Xu Guo. Their main force's escape plan failed, and they had to start a bloody battle with the coalition forces.

The final result is of course no miracle. The strength of both sides is no longer above the same level. Of course, the army of the princes paid huge casualties, making all the princes' hearts bleeding, but the soldiers brought by King Xu can escape. Hardly one out of ten.

Although he failed to kill Xu Guo like King Huaiyi in the end, Xu Guo, whose strength has been greatly damaged, may not have a good life when facing Chen Guo, Song Guo, and Wu Guo.

As the battle between Song and Xu came to an end, like a signal, good news came one after another.

The allied forces of the Jin State and the State of Wei defeated the Di people in Lidi, causing the Di people to migrate northward.

Qi State defeated Laiyi State, causing Laiyi State to continue to migrate eastward, greatly expanding its territory.

This short-term, but extremely intense war has made all the Xia kingdoms unforgettable.

Yi Di's power is actually so strong!

The kingdoms of the Xia were even almost overthrown. Even though the war was won in the end, many princes still had lingering fears.

Just when the princes were cleaning up the mess.

In Luoyi, Luocheng, in the name of the Son of Heaven, sent a letter to the princes of the world to hold an alliance in Luoyi to arrange the order after the war and prevent these barbarians from making a comeback.

The princes of the world responded in groups, and almost at the moment when the edict was issued, most of the princes immediately got up and went to Luoyi.

Ji Zhao was even more busy harvesting countless luck points.

[Your descendant Luocheng surpassed the limit and successfully organized Zhuxia's counterattack. Your family's status in history has once again increased, and your family's prestige has once again increased.

You gain luck points. 】

Although Luo Cheng was not the one who personally commanded the battle, he was not given any props, but how many luck points did he give?

All the luck points that Ji Zhao spent on the ancestral blessings that Ji Zhao had imposed on the family's children all these years were recovered in one wave.

……

The missions of Chu State are the most grand, and the standards are extremely high.

On behalf of the king of Chu, the prince of Chu came to congratulate the new emperor, demonstrating the friendship of the Zhou-Chu alliance.

Princess Yixuan, the eldest princess of Chu, who had already married the emperor Ji Fu, was also in the mission and came to marry Ji Fu.

As a big country on the Han River, the sending team of Chu State is naturally quite large.

The [-] armored soldiers escorting the mission were the most elite soldiers in Chu State. With this armored army alone, if it was equipped with chariots and [-] auxiliary soldiers, those small countries with a distance of only [-] miles would be completely unable to resist.

One of the meanings of Chu sending this elite army is to show off its military power to the princes of the Central Plains.

According to the arrangement of the King of Chu, 200 people will be selected from this strong army as Yi Xuan's dowry, and will stay with her in Wang Ji.

These 200 people are not just 200 people, but nobles one by one, and these nobles will be stationed in Luoyi along with Yixuan.

If Ji Fu has the ability, he can completely borrow this power. This is the benefit that a strong wives can bring.

Although Luo Yan was from the Luo Kingdom, he was already a minister of Chu, so he followed the Chu Kingdom's mission and returned to Luoyi, bringing along his fiancée Yiguang.

The fiancée always wanted to see his father, and there was also a covenant relationship between Luo State and Chu State, and he became an official in Chu State and received the fief granted by the King of Chu, so he didn't know if this was considered a separation.

Prince Xiong Dan of Chu State, Luo Yan, Princess Yixuan, and Princess Yiguang walked together.

Looking at the city in front of him that was much taller than Yingdu, Xiong Dan asked in shock: "Luo Qing, this Luoyi is so tall, how did King Su build it back then?"

"Prince, Luoyi lives between Yiluo. This is a paradise bestowed by the gods for Zhou people. With the favor of heaven, even taller cities than this can be built."

Luo Yan's words were full of pride. The history of the Luo family and the ancestors of the Luo family are worthy of the pride of every child.

If it weren't for the status of the son of Luo Guo, even if the king of Chu admired him, how could he bestow the most beloved princess?

The two princesses, Yixuan and Yiguang, were a little curious. This was the first time for them to leave Chu, especially Princess Yixuan. She knew that this was where she would live her whole life.

Now she is still very satisfied.

Ji Fu received the prince of Chu and others in the palace.

This is the first time Yixuan has met her future husband, not to mention Ji Fu's talent and ability, but in terms of appearance, no one can be picky.

So Yixuan was very satisfied, and even blushed slightly on her pretty face.

"I have heard Luo Gong tell the story of the ancestors of the Chu State who opened up the mountains and forests through the rough roads and blue threads. What a great achievement is this?

All princes should learn from Chu.

When the state of Chu returned to the ranks of Zhuxia, when the widow collapsed and met King Su, he had something to say. "

Although Ji Fu is not capable of writing or martial arts, he has an aura about him that can make people feel good about him.

What he said made people feel very sincere. Xiong Dan now has a good impression of his future brother-in-law.

"Your Majesty, the State of Chu will always stand by your side and be your loyal subject."

On such an occasion, Xiong Dan made a statement to the world, and his words represented Chu's political commitment.

When he leaves here, it will soon spread throughout the countries. With the strong support of Chu, the royal family is already able to turn around among the big countries in the Central Plains.

……

As the princes of various countries arrived in Luoyi, the city fell into unprecedented prosperity.

The princes brought their guards one after another. Most of these people were nobles and had enough financial resources to spend.

In addition to the tribute to the emperor, the meeting is also a place for displaying goods, and usually the princes will bring a large number of local specialties.

So many princes gathered together, since the time of the Desolate King, there has not been such a grand event for many years.

Especially the appearance of the three princes, Prince Chu, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Yue, made all the princes feel that the sky had really changed.

These three vassal states, all of which have not been emperors for a hundred years, have now appeared among the kings.

They don't know the strength of Wuyue, but Chu State is a big country in Hanyang, and it is not much better than Jin State.

Now he is still married to the royal family. A few days ago, Crown Prince Dan of Chu and the Son of Heaven made an oath to help the royal family with all their strength. With the assistance of Jin, Luo, Qi, and Zheng, it is not impossible to return to Haojing City.

Xiong Dan discovered the biggest disadvantage of Chu's failure to court Zhou for a hundred years, that is, he basically didn't know the princes of the Central Plains.

The princes married each other and formed a complicated network of relationships, but the Chu State was outside this system.

Even if the royal family marries Chu State, Chu State will still be rejected by them.

Because these princes of the Central Plains are related, Chu State is really an outsider to them.

The king of Chu is an outstanding monarch, he is keenly aware of this, so he wants to keep Luo Yan in the Chu country, and marry his most beloved daughter to him.

Now it shows its effect. Luo Yan's mother is Luo Jiang, the first daughter of Qi State, and Qi State and Luo State are representatives of the Ji and Jiang surnames.

I'm afraid I can't tell how big the in-law relationship between the two countries is. Anyway, almost all the princes present can talk.

As Luo Yan invited the princes one by one, and almost every one of them could climb up to relatives, Xiong Dan was almost numb.

He deeply felt the key position of the Luo family in the Central Plains. If Chu State wanted to enter the Central Plains, the marriage with the royal family was not the most important thing, but the marriage with the Luo family was the most important thing.

The most wonderful thing is that Luo Yan is the first son of Luo State to serve as a minister in another country, which is a golden signboard for Chu State.

No one knows who is barbarian and who is Zhu Xia better than Queen Su.

Under Luo Yan's introduction, the prince of Chu finally gradually integrated into the circle of the princes of the Central Plains on the surface, but in his heart, the princes of the Central Plains still had a fear of the prince of Chu.

This is a very normal behavior. How can the strangeness of more than a hundred years be eliminated in a short period of time?
At least it is much better than Yue State. Wu State is a prince surnamed Ji, and it is a country established by the descendants of the royal family. Although it has not been in Zhou Dynasty for many years, the relationship of the same clan can still be found.

The state of Yue, which was exiled with the surname of Si, was miserable. His greatest sibling was the State of Qi with the surname of Si. However, although Qi State was a principality, its own strength was weak. The entire princely surname of Si was in the system of the Xia kingdoms. There is no sense of existence.

Not to mention comparing with the Jiang surname, it is far inferior to the Zi surname, the Gui surname, and even the Ying surname that was far inferior to them at the beginning.

……

As the bell rang in the city, the princes began to walk towards the palace according to their titles and positions in the royal family.

This is a big change from more than 200 years ago, when bloodlines were used to determine rank. It cannot be said that bloodlines are not important, but titles are more important than bloodlines, which is the consensus of this era.

In the palace of Luoyi, Luo Cheng was arranging the emperor's crown for Jifu. This scene was a bit like Ji Zhao arranging the robes for Ji Yun more than 200 years ago.

"Tianzi, do you know that there are three kinds of kings?"

"There are three kinds of kings?" Ji Fu shook his head in doubt and said, "I don't know, so please ask Luo Gong to clarify."

"This is what King Su said.

The king is on a dignified path. He uses ideals to unite the hearts of his subjects, and uses virtue to regulate his country, so that even if he dies, the subjects will loyally assist his heirs.

The king of China is taking the road of domineering and oppressing people. Such a monarch thinks that he does not need to trust his subjects. As long as he is forced to persuade, everything will act according to his will. This is not wrong, but this type of monarch usually kills Those ministers who have made great contributions, because he knows that there is no trust between the monarch and his ministers.

Under the king, believe in conspiracy and tricks, regard power as the truth, and play with the way of balance regardless of the development of the country. The country ruled by this kind of monarch cannot be strong, it is like a pool of stagnant water, which gradually rots and stinks, and finally the building collapses and is completely defeated.

As for the monarch who is worse than the next king, he is no longer worthy of being called a monarch. "

Ji Fu heard this theory for the first time, his little eyes were full of shock, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Luo, if you want to become the king, what should I do?"

Luo Cheng smoothed a wrinkle and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I will teach you slowly, starting with "The Way of Kings" written by King Su.

The princes have arrived, Your Majesty, the alliance of princes is the majestic way of kingship. This is the first step in the revitalization of Bangzhou. You should take a good look at it today. "

Of course, a real king should be kingly, supplemented by domineering, and then supplemented by deceitful methods by his courtiers.

But Ji Fu's talent is not enough to learn domineering and deceitful ways. He is kind-hearted by nature, and he is only suitable for walking the road of kingship. After all, people's hearts are relatively simple in this era, and there are many loyal ministers and righteous men.

"The king is here!" Luo Cheng and Ji Fu came hand in hand.

All the princes returned to their positions, with their backs straight, kneeling, heads bowed, and hands bound. The hall, which was noisy before, fell silent in a very short time.

Teams of court maids passed by and replaced all the princes with wine barons. The musicians began to play the music and dance of the son of heaven, and the grand sound resounded in the hall.

The feudal lords were limited by Zhou rituals, and many musical instruments could not be used. Many pieces of music in the entire Bangzhou could only be played completely here by the emperor.

"My lords.

Bangzhou has never experienced such a large-scale war since King Su's Eastern Expedition. From the west of Haojing to the coast of the East China Sea, from the north of Yanshan Mountain to the south of Dajiang River, there are wars everywhere in Bangzhou's vast land.

Jin and Wei defeated Di people, Yan defeated Shanhu, Qi defeated Laiyi, Song Chen, Wu Yueshen followed Tang and strangled Xu, Luo and Chu defeated the mighty Huai in Ying and Xu. Yi.

What a glorious victory, the kingdom of Zhuxia is still blessed by the heavens, and our children and grandchildren will not have to worry about the invasion of these border barbarians within 50 years. "

Excitedly, Luo Cheng held up the wine cup and said loudly, "Congratulations!"

All the vassals raised their barons high and said in unison: "Hey!"

After three shouts, Luo Cheng said again: "As long as we surround ourselves under the throne of the Son of Heaven, abide by Zhou rituals, develop our country, and meet regularly, can those barbarians shake Bang Zhou?"

"no!"

The princes naturally saw the power of the alliance and responded together.

Luo Cheng said loudly again: "My lords, more than 200 years ago, the first generation of princes made an oath in front of King Kang and King Su, so there was prosperity in the period of King Kang.

More than 100 years ago, the princes made the same oath in front of King Zhao and Duke Luo Wen, so King Zhao prospered.

Today, in front of the king, let us once again make an alliance of blood, never betray, and jointly help the state, Zhou Sheji, assist the emperor, and create a prosperous world! "

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

All the princes once again raised the wine bar high, and everyone stood up, shouting loudly, and the echo circled in the hall.

Ji Fu, who was shocked by this scene, was immediately pulled up by Luo Cheng, his arms were raised high, and all the musicians raised the volume of the song again, like the roar of war drums.

How long has the Son of Heaven not had such authority?

No one knows, but now everyone knows that the royal family will prosper if the Luo Kingdom gives everything.

A young emperor, a Luo family's regent, Bang Zhou's destiny seems to flow in it forever.

This is a new era, the era of Luo Cheng and Ji Fu.

……

The alliance of princes during the period of King Yi was the last alliance action initiated by Zhou Tianzi. All the princes prostrated themselves under the throne. The Zhou royal family, which experienced the chaos of Haojing Shenrong, seemed to have returned to the position of the co-lord of the world.

In the following 20 years, the Zhou royal family vigorously maintained the Zhou ritual and patriarchal system, especially severely cracked down on Quwo Xiaozong's attempt to replace Dazong, so that King Yi and Luo Xuangong, the monarchs and ministers, had a strong relationship among the princes. Prestige is at its peak. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
