Days are everlasting

The first month of King Zhou's 14th year is coming, but the crown prince left at this critical moment. Judging by his appearance, Ji Yijiu might not come back until Ji Yijiu is re-appointed as crown prince. Ji Gongyu was naturally shocked and angry.

The virtue of abdication is naturally not only possessed by one person, and this kind of abdication is typical, and generally will not go back after leaving.

Ji Gongyan was unwilling to fulfill Ji Bofu's wish to give way to Ji Yijiu, but between Ji Bofu's permanent exile outside the palace and fulfilling his wish, Ji Gongyan felt that otherwise he would agree to Ji Bofu. up.

Of course, there is another option, that is, Ji Gongyan will have another son with Bao Si, and let the youngest son inherit the throne after his death.

However, even if Ji Yijiu was excluded from the ranks of candidates, with Ji Bofu present, the eldest son succession system determined that even if Ji Gongyan and Baosi had another son, it was impossible for the youngest son to inherit the throne.

Things are so deadlocked here.

But soon, Ji Gongyan found a solution.

During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Emperor Gaozong Wuding had more than one queen. His eldest son—that is, the ancestor who was later revered as the king—was expelled from the palace because of being framed by his stepmother and died unjustly.After the death of the eldest son, the heir should be Wang Ziyue, born of the same mother as the grandfather—that is, later Emperor Zu Geng—however, Zu Geng’s stepmother had her own son, Zi Zai.

In order to express that he did not want to compete with his elder brother for the throne, Prince Zai secretly left the palace, so Wu Ding died and Zu Geng succeeded.

After Zu Geng died, his younger brother, Prince Zai, succeeded him as Zu Jia of Shang Shizong, and Zu Jia was also the direct ancestor of the subsequent Yin and Shang emperors.

In other words, Ji Gongyan can agree to Ji Bofu's conditions, as long as Ji Gongyan dies, and then let Ji Bofu inherit the throne of Zhou King.

In order to recall the youngest son back earlier, Ji Gongyan announced to the whole world the news that Ji Yijiu had been restored as the crown prince, and at the same time summoned the crown prince Ji Bofu who had run away from the palace back to the palace.

At the same time, the reasons he announced for the restoration of the prince also focused on Ji Bofu's contribution in it.

From Ji Bofu's point of view, Ji Gongyan is really a good father who spared no effort to help him earn his reputation!

Bo Ji didn't waste his clothes, since his father had already announced it to the whole world, he couldn't change the order overnight, so he didn't have to waste time outside.

After returning to the palace, Ji Gongyan quickly announced his plan to Ji Bofu cryptically.

After all, in Ji Gongzhen's opinion, his son has done well as the prince, and if he hadn't felt ashamed of his elder brother, he would not have thought of making the decision to give up the position.

Thinking about it carefully, over the years, the son has always liked to be close to his elder brother.

Ji Bofu, who had been harboring ghosts for a long time: My stupid dad, you are really too sweet!Also, when you look at me, did you put on the filter of "my son does everything right"? Hey!

When Ji Gongzhen told Ji Bofu his plan, he was completely shocked.

That's amazing, my father, your way of thinking is really different from ordinary people!

After Ji Yijiu succeeded to the throne of Zhou King, it was difficult for Ji Bofu to become Zhou King in the Great Zhou, which followed the eldest son inheritance system, instead of the brother-in-law and Yin Shang.

No matter how tainted Ji Yijiu's previous behavior is, after he succeeds to the throne, it cannot be a reason to shake his orthodox status as the king of Zhou.

Ji Bofu felt that his Zhou Wang father had imagined the reality too beautifully.

But unexpectedly, his stupid father had already made up his mind.

Zhou Zhao Ergong, this is the prince who has been assisting King Zhou since the time of King Wu of Zhou.

Since then, the Zhou kings of all dynasties were assisted by the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao. The King of Zhou, the Duke of Zhou, and the Duke of Zhao are the ones in the inheritance system of the Great Zhou that need not worry about being artificially deposed.

One of the important reasons why King Li of Zhou fell into a situation where everyone shouted and beat him back then was that he changed the practice of Zhou and Zhao Ergong "the world is a nobleman" and appointed the eldest fathers of Duke Rongyi and Duke Guo.

Although the two men appointed by King Li of Zhou are both capable and practical people, the nobles who have always believed that the most important assistants of King Zhou can only be Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao do not agree with King Li's decision.

During the more than ten years when King Li fled from the land until he died in the land, the emperor lost his throne, and the ministers elected Gong Bohe, the king of the Republic, to be in power, and called Duke Mu and Duke Ding of Zhou to assist him, which was called "republic ruling" in history.

It is precisely because of the assistance of the second Duke Zhou Zhao that the unorthodox Gong Boji He was able to hold the power of Zong Zhou during the ten years between King Li's escape and his death.

Ji Bofu lowered his eyebrows.

If it was really as planned, there wouldn't be so many surprises in the world.

The kings of Zong Zhou, without exception, showed symptoms of indescribable snake spirit disease during the period when the Eastern and Western Zhous alternated.

Ji Bofu remembered that the second Wang Huan of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty also thought the same way. He doted on his second son, because he had learned the lesson of King You, Ji Gongyan, so he did not tamper with when he succeeded to the throne. The important task of "making the throne brother end up with brother" was entrusted to the then Duke Zhou Heijian.

Zhou Gong Heijian was a short-sighted person, and King Huan asked him to wait until the right time to kill the eldest son, King Zhuang, and replace his second son, Wang Zike, and he obeyed.

According to Ji Bofu's understanding, his father is now thinking the same way as King Huan of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, confessing to his trusted confidants, killing Ji Yijiu at the right time, and supporting Ji Bofu to take the position.

The question is not whether this plan can be successful, but that Ji Bofu has no desire to be king of Zhou at all.

Even if he governed the country as conscientiously as King Hui of Zhou, Ji Wang, who worked hard to govern during the final confrontation between Eastern and Western Zhou—of course, according to the Eastern Zhou, it should be King Xie of Zhou—he would still be corrupted by future generations.

Who made Zong Zhou's etiquette so harsh to the point of pedantry?

King Zhou Li wanted to abolish the practice of Zhou Zhao Ergong's "world as a nobleman" politically, and use other nobles with special skills. I really can't figure out how this country can grow stronger on the basis of maintaining the old system.

Only by building a new vassal state, where children and grandchildren live in peace and prepare for danger, can they be strong and prosperous.

Ah, of course, there is another reason, that is, he built a vassal state by himself, he is the boss, unlike the king of Zhou, who suddenly has so many old antiques on his head.

And according to the prevailing norms of this era, no one would attack a good boy like him who let Chu Yu brother down, especially when the brother who was humbled has a bad record of "unfilial piety", because that would make him Let all countries despise it to death.

Until the Spring and Autumn Period, the emphasis among countries was still to "keep a line of life, so that we can meet each other in the future." The capital of the country will still withdraw its troops in the future, allowing this country to continue to exist.

The principles that were still in force until the Spring and Autumn Period, coupled with the various supports that his father would provide behind him, gave Ji Bofu the confidence to participate in the upcoming Spring and Autumn and Warring States period as the latest group of princes to be entrusted with the hegemony.

As for future generations who can't compete with others, what should we do?

Then it's none of his business, it's good that he didn't leave them a powerless king of Zhou!

Ji Bofu didn't object to the old man explicitly, anyway, now that the old man is still in good health, he has enough time to do the ideological work of the old man.

In the first month of the 14th year of the King of Zhou, Ji Gongyan, the king of Zhou, offered sacrifices to the heavens and the ancestral temple. He re-appointed the eldest prince Ji Yijiu as the crown prince, and appointed the second son Ji Bofu as Xuanhou to lead the old land of Nanshen.

Ji Bofu was granted the title of Marquis of Xuan. The word Xuan comes from the posthumous title of the former king, King Xuan, indicating that he is the successor of King Xuan.

It is certain that the ancestors who can be used by future generations to record their names are very good or very commemorative, but as the successor of King Xuan, the current King of Zhou, Ji Gongyan, bestowed the title of Marquis Xuan on Ji Bofu. Bofu is the grandson of Prince Xuan who can inherit the name - after all, Ji Gongzhen himself still does not have a posthumous title - it can be said that he has slapped the crown prince Ji Yijiu in the face.

Ji Yijiu felt bitter, but Ji Yijiu couldn't say anything yet.

The whole world has changed since he obeyed his grandfather's advice and stood up for himself and unfortunately lost.

The whole world knows him as a rebellious and rebellious son. His younger brother Ji Bofu is a humble and friendly gentleman. Not to mention Ji Bofu inherited all the Shen family wealth accumulated by his grandfather for so many years. Wronged!

Ji Yijiu wanted very much to say that Ji Bofu was just putting on an act, but he had already been officially reinstated. If he said this, he would only get ridiculed by others, saying that he didn't know good from bad.

He didn't want to inherit the reserve position that was donated at all, but it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to or not.

The only thing Ji Yijiu is looking forward to now is that his father will die soon. When he succeeds to the throne, he will be emperor and courtier. He will have plenty of time to study his good brother slowly!

Ji Bofu was officially appointed, which means that he may travel far away at any time, to the original Nanshen and today's Xuanguo.

Ji Yijiu's grandfather, Shen Bo, is an earl, and the area of ​​the feudal country is not large. Therefore, in addition to the old place of Nanshen, Ji Gongzhen also specially subsidized several cities with relatively large areas for his beloved young son, which greatly expanded the area of ​​​​the state. country's land area.

Because it inherited Nanshen's family property in its entirety, although Xuan Guo was first established, in terms of strength, it is comparable to Feng Guo, which was run by three generations.

Ji Gongxuan wanted his son to stay in Haojing for a few more years, but he was also worried that if Ji Bofu had announced the closure of the country, it would have a bad impact on Ji Bofu's closure of the country, and the situation would be bad. grasp.

It is now the 14th year of King Zhou, and Ji Bofu is 14 years old.

According to the etiquette system, men can be crowned when they are twenty, and they can get married if they are crowned. However, in this era, it is not uncommon to crown and marry early, and the minimum age limit is almost fourteen or five years old.

In other words, Ji Bofu has grown up.

No matter how unhappy Ji Gongzhen was, he could only agree that Marquis Xuan would take over the country after three months, and ordered the minister Ji Cheng, the second son of Zhaogong Liao's son Zuozhi.

The author has something to say: Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao later became a hereditary official position in the Zhou Dynasty, specially assisting the king of Zhou. Ji Shi's eldest son was also the Lord of Yan in his feudal state of Yan, and Zhao Gong's lineage was the descendant of Zhao Gong's second son.

Because many lineages between Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong failed the test, Zhao Gong Liao I can't be sure whether he is the grandson or son of Zhao Mu Gong Ji Hu, and I can't find out if there is another Zhao Gong in the middle, so I directly set Zhao Mu Gong Hu It is Zhao Gong Liao, his second son is called Ji Cheng, and the stupid author himself made up Orz

One of the crimes of King Zhou Li is political reform. He wanted to remove the privileges of the second prince of Zhou Zhao, and then he was attacked. I think he is really wronged!

By the way, the stupid author wants to apologize to Orz for writing too smoothly before, and confused Zhou Xiewang with Ji Bofu. The same mother, Xie Wang was given a bad posthumous title by Ji Yijiu, and those who agreed with him called him King Hui.

Because Ji Yijiu killed his father and younger brother and led wolves into the house, many princes at that time were unwilling to recognize him. Instead, they recognized Ji Wang, King Hui of Zhou; The typical representative of melee is Jin, and King Ping also ceded many cities directly under the jurisdiction of Zong Zhou.

Da Zhou is really a pill!

The part mentioned earlier about carrying the king has been changed, and I will explain it here again.

Before his death, Zhou Gong, who specially instructed the assistant government, killed his elder son after he became King Zhou for two years. King Zhou is Ji Yijiu's grandson. This big week is really a pill!
