Chapter 7 The Death of Ji Zhao

Now it is the ninth year of King Kang, and nearly five years have passed since the last feudal expedition. The only Taigong who could check and balance Ji Zhao died. The emperor sent messengers to express condolences. Dazai Ji Zhao, who was acting on behalf of the king, was very quiet and stayed in the royal city.

But it caused great mental pressure to the princes of the world.

So far, four feudal lords have been removed from the country by him for using the rites and music of the emperor. One of them was given to death by him with a glass of poisonous wine. The other two have also been demoted to commoners. The edict censures the expedition against the barbarians.

Ji Zhao admitted that he did nothing except to check the progress of the construction in Luoyi in winter. He just entered the palace early every day, taught Ji Yun to handle government affairs, received Wang Ji's affairs officials, and handled the interviews of the envoys of various princes.

Ji Yun has not yet been crowned, but he is already a fairly strong young man. Ji Zhao's words and deeds, coupled with his own talent, is good, and he already has the embryo of a sage.

Qi's direct daughter, Ji, came to Wang Ji to marry King Kang and officially became the queen of Bang Zhou.

With the marriage of King Kang, the atmosphere of the entire Zhou Dynasty changed. Although King Kang had not been crowned and could not officially govern, everyone felt that the day was imminent. Zheng and Wang, there are only untrue stories of Yi Yin in history.

Seven years ago, when the four thieves started a rebellion, they lied that Ji Zhao had bad intentions and wanted to abolish the king and become independent, and even forced Ji Zhao to swear in the ancestral temple. Has the will to usurp.

However, how to arrange the status of a power minister who has been in power for 12 years after returning to power is also a major issue that cannot be ignored.

Over the years, Ji Zhao has always kept a close eye on the princes, and he has collected [-]% of the income obtained from the princes' conquest into the treasury of Wang Ji's government, which greatly enriched the strength of the Central Committee of the State and Zhou.

There was chaos outside, but there was peace in the palace. Unlike his heroic father, Ji Yun had never commanded an army to fight. The princes of the four towns lived up to Ji Zhao's expectations and support for them and blocked all the barbarians. Outside of Wang Ji, this fertile land of thousands of miles has been very peaceful these years.

In addition to handling state affairs, Ji Zhao's main energy is used to teach Ji Yun how to be a king.

"Uncle Wang, Marquis Shen and Jia Bo are fighting for land. Marquis Shen scolded Jia Bo for being disrespectful to him, and he committed the following crimes. Jia Bo wrote in a letter that Marquis Shen insulted him with a high rank and called him a military dog."

Ji Zhao took the bamboo slip and asked Ji Yun, "Your Majesty, the number of feudal lords has increased, and the territory has also increased. There will be more and more frictions in the future. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Ji Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Both of them are at fault, and they should be reprimanded separately, the earl is the middle, the marquis is the top, and Jia Bo is disrespectful to the Marquis Shen. He understands that the nobleness of a prince should not be humiliated lightly, and next time, he will be severely punished.

Marquis Shen humiliated Jia Bo as Rong, which was purely out of nothing. Although there were many Xirong people in Jia Bo’s country, he himself was a clan surnamed Ji, and he paid tribute to the wealth and goods with all his heart in these years. It is really hateful to impose obstacles, and he will be punished with three more layers of tribute next year. "

Ji Zhao was very satisfied with Ji Yun's handling, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and the handling of the two of them is also quite decent, and can take into account the etiquette and the reality of the country, then this matter will be dealt with according to what Your Majesty said. ."

As Ji Yun gradually matured, Ji Zhao has gradually handed over some matters to him, and Ji Yun's performance is still quite satisfactory to him.

As a young man, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, considers things thoughtfully, listens to the beneficial opinions of others, does not follow the trend, and has his own persistence.

Ji Yun was always very happy with Ji Zhao's compliment, and took out one of the bamboo slips piled up in the mountains. It was actually a performance from Luohou.

Under the impetus of Ji Zhao, his son-in-law has officially named Luo Kingdom, and the title of a Marquis of Luo is dispensable for his status as the chief regent and the head of the three princes.

"Uncle Wang, Luohou reported the construction progress of Luoyi on the table. The main body of the city and the palace have been operated and built for the most part. According to the current progress, the subjects can gradually move in and enrich Luoyi."

In this era, the newly built city was not popular, so the emperor naturally couldn't go to live in the first time, but he had to move his subjects into it first to raise his energy.

"Five years of construction, five years of nourishing, and ordered the vassal states to move their hukou to Luoyi to enrich the population."

[The completion of Luoyi, this great city will shine for thousands of years in the future history, you have obtained the Xuan-order item-God Talisman, and your luck points have increased. 】

Ji Yun rubbed the bamboo slip and asked softly: "Uncle Wang, you once told the widow about the strategy of dividing Shaanxi and governing, saying that when the chaos in the remote areas could not be stopped, you could send your trusted ministers and clansmen to sit in town. Now the eastern princes There are frequent wars with Dongyi, and even some princes were reprimanded for not being able to go to worship the emperor. Is Luoyi the land that Wang Shu chose for himself?"

Ji Zhao's figure paused, and his eyes looked at Ji Yun. The young emperor's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to King Wu. He had a handsome face, black hair and black pupils, a heroic figure, and a kindheartedness. He even guessed that Luoyi was the one he chose for him. The place to leave, and he made up a reason for himself.

Ji Zhao smiled and said: "The king's guess is good, in more than two years, the king will be crowned and in charge, and Bang Zhou will be completely handed over to the king, and the old minister will naturally be relieved of the errand of the king's government.

Luoyi lacked popularity, so the minister went to raise qi for the king.

Moreover, the eastern lords have successfully conquered Dongyi in recent years, and their strength has expanded rapidly. The Qi State obtained the land of Haiyan the year before last, and it was quite rich. It is already a big country of three to five hundred miles. Land, you can rest assured when you go to see them. "

When Ji Yun heard that it was as he had guessed, he said anxiously: "Uncle Wang, you can continue to stay in Haojing, the position of Dazai is still up to you, and the widow can ask you if you have any business, then Luoyi Xinjian The city is bitterly cold, how can a saint live there?"

Ji Yun lost his father since he was a child, and only Ji Zhao stayed by his side, taking care of state affairs for him at night and teaching him how to do it.

Although under the influence of Ji Zhao's ears and eyes these years, it can be called decisive killing, but he is still a kind-hearted person in essence, and naturally he does not want Ji Zhao to leave Haojing like this.

Ji Zhao is not young anymore. He has exhausted his efforts to stabilize the new Zhou Dynasty. It is extremely difficult to maintain the system of the emperor and the princes. It is necessary to keep the blades of the princes sharp, and to prevent their blades from turning inward.

Hearing Ji Yun's retention, Ji Zhao was a little relieved, it was worth his efforts over the years, and finally he didn't hand over a white-eyed wolf, but he still refused with a smile: "Your Majesty, only ministers of the huge Bangzhou can't stay in Hao. Jing, if you don’t leave, I’m afraid there will be rumors the next day, calling you a puppet emperor.”

Ji Yun was silent, he was no longer the little boy who didn't understand anything, and he naturally knew that Uncle Wang had suppressed the princes too hard these years.

When I go to Luoyi, I can still use the residual heat to shock the eastern princes. Thinking of this, looking at Ji Zhao's hair on the temples, Ji Yun can't help but feel sour, and he understands what Uncle Wang often said, this world belongs to the world after all. In the world, if you insist on going your own way, you will be betrayed and separated.

……

King Kang was 12 years old.

The princes of the world gathered in Haojing to congratulate the emperor on the crowning ceremony. Countless treasures were presented to the emperor. Almost everyone celebrated with their crowns. Ji Zhao, who had been pressing on their heads, was finally leaving. They don't want to live a day when they are reprimanded by an edict for the slightest inadvertence, and they don't want to live a day when they offer their wealth to exonerate them.

The crowning ceremony and the pro-government ceremony ended in a huge ceremony, and the Zhou Dynasty ushered in his new ruler.

The next day, the emperor issued an edict that Ji Zhao, the former chief regent, should leave Luoyi, and the title of Dazai remained unchanged, but he was still the same as the three princes, and he was further named as 'the king's prime minister's important military affairs'. The power of princes in temperance.

Facing the appointment of the Son of Heaven, the eastern princes were really bitter, and the other three princes couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Today, Qi is still the one who has been appointed by the king in the east, and it is also the largest country in the east. Thanks to the benefits of Haiyan, it is very rich and has a population of more than [-]. It ranks first among the countries and is quite powerful.

The two countries of Qiluo are mutually related countries. In recent years, the two countries have also jointly conquered the Dongyi tribes, but they are both dominated by the state of Qi. Now that Ji Zhao is sitting in Luoyi, he will definitely suppress the development momentum of the state of Qi and let others The vassal states can also benefit from the conquest and maintain the balance in the east.

Outside the capital city of Hao, the flags and flags were hunting. The Third Division of the Son of Heaven followed behind Ji Zhao and arrived at Luoyi and stationed on the spot, becoming the army stationed in Luoyi. Ji Yun personally came to see Ji Zhao off, and said with a reluctant hand: " Uncle Wang, you are the saint of Bangzhou and the pillar of the sky, you must take care of your health when you leave the town this time, and send letters to Haojing more often.

Hearing this, Ji Zhao smiled and patted Ji Yun's hand: "The king's posture is in the sky, and he has the appearance of an ancient sage king. He will definitely be able to prosper and prosper the state and the Zhou Dynasty, and my clan will be prosperous. After the ministers die, they can also speak openly when they see the previous king, and live up to the previous king's entrustment. "

There are historians and painters who recorded this scene. Since the three kings and five emperors, which pair of monarchs and ministers can surpass the trust and affection between them?
For a loyal minister like Ji Zhao, who was ordered by the former king to be entrusted to Gu, in 12 years, the power will be overwhelmed by the world, and the government will be returned to the king. How many times can you see it in the history books?

Don't suspect the ministers who used to be the regent of the king, and give him rich rewards. Shouldn't such a benevolent monarch swear allegiance to the death?

[Your family's political credibility has increased. 】

Sure enough, the system prompt sounded as expected. In the past eight years, as more and more people think that he will not usurp the throne, and Luo Hou is also committed to fulfilling his promise, this prompt has sounded from time to time.

Political credibility is an extremely precious thing, especially the ancients attached great importance to this point. Later generations of old thieves Sima swore Luoshui to destroy the political credibility of the Sima family.

Ji Zhao will never let his family lose their political credibility. He wants everyone in the world to subconsciously believe that the Luo Family will never be king!

It is not very easy to achieve this, but it is not very difficult either. As long as the successive Luo family patriarchs can usurp the throne and remain loyal to the monarch and serve the country, they will accumulate a huge political reputation from generation to generation, which will make the world think inertia. , coupled with the system items, at least most of the monarch's suspicions can be eliminated.

Along with Ji Zhaodong, in addition to the Third Division of the Son of Heaven, there are also many Wang Ji subjects. These people will be the first batch of people in Luoyi, and they will continue to migrate from Wang Ji and the surrounding vassal states.

Ji Zhao didn't know how big Luoyi was in history, but now Luoyi, which he presided over and built, is the largest city in the world. The city is tall and generous, with a moat outside the city. In this era, any enemy who wants to break through this city will face despair.

Ji Zhao, who came to Luoyi, did not rule as high-handedly as the princes expected. Instead, he beat the princes more casually. In another two years, the princes of the four towns will be replaced by the king's order. Hou definitely won't be able to get this errand.

Ji Zhao stayed in Luoyi every day, writing his own experience in governing the country and an in-depth explanation of Zhou Li, subsequent adjustments to the enfeoffment system, and how to maintain the emperor's majesty and strength over the princes.

Ji Yun is skilled in handling government affairs, and the development of the princes is relatively smooth as a whole. Except for a few princes who were attacked by the barbarians, most of the princes can at least guarantee their own safety. Tributes such as money, grain, salt and silk even filled the treasury.

The feudal system achieved great success. When the first year of King Kang and the fourth year of Kang Nian were divided, there were still dot-shaped city-states on the map, and now it is a country.

Ji Zhao looked at the changes in the land and felt like he was playing a coloring game, but unfortunately no one understood this kind of happiness.

In the 17th year of King Kang, Ji Zhao knew that his life had come to an end, and he was about to officially become the ancestor of the Luo clan.

He watched his funeral from the void.

The three princes supported the coffin, the marquis cleared the way, and the three armies of the emperor escorted Ji Zhao to be buried next to the mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou.

Ji Yun said to the important minister: "The former king entrusted Uncle Wang at the end of his life, and he is a burden to the widow. For 17 years, Uncle Wang has worked hard and worked hard to die today. He is a minister of the former king. How can the widow treat him with the courtesy of a courtier?" ?

The sages once said that there is a sage who has the virtue of a king but does not occupy the throne, and is called a 'su king'.

Uncle Wang had the ability to manage the world, so he was posthumously named "Wen" and buried beside the former king with royal ceremonies to reward him for his achievements in acting on behalf of the king for 12 years. This is what a widow can do. "

[After chasing King Su, Wang Li was buried under the posthumous title of "Wen", and you got the Xuan-order item - Qianli Talisman. 】

The system prompt appeared again, the achievement was achieved, the luck points and props were distributed one by one, Ji Zhao opened his attribute panel, and great changes had taken place on it.

The attribute card mainly prevents the descendants from appearing too unworthy of the descendants, and can be raised to the level of an ordinary famous official, at least to ensure the maintenance of the family.

Putting away the attribute panel, Ji Zhao no longer pays attention to the real world, quietly feeling the continuous growth of his luck points.

……

 Ji Zhao officially went offline and started his ancestor's career.
