Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 133 "Emperor Zhou" [st update, please subscribe]

In the fifth year of King Zhaoxiang's reign.

King Ying Ji of Qin announced in Xianyang City that he would no longer pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou, and rebuked the Emperor of Zhou for his stupidity and rudeness.

At the same time, Chen Ye, the king of An Guo, was named "Gong An Guo", Chen Shen, the eldest son of King An Guo, was named "Kun Wen'an", and Chen Zhan, the second son of King An Guo, was named Lord Wu'an.

After the news came out, people all over the world were shocked.

But King Qin's reaction seemed to be a matter of speculation among the people in the world. After all, it was Emperor Zhou who went too far this time.

The Emperor of Zhou surpassed the King of Qin and named the King of Qin's ministers as "gong", and persuaded the Chen family to establish a country. If it happened in any country, let alone Qin, the king of that country would be furious and reprimand him.

The kings of the six countries did not dare to express their support too much at this time.

why?

Because they are afraid that the "Emperor of Zhou" will go mad at some point, and then they will also make one of their ministers "Gong" and allow him to establish a country.

They dare not guess how they will react when that time comes.

So the aftermath of this incident actually subsided very quickly, and no one mentioned it again.

The six countries lost nothing, and Qin also lost nothing.

The only injured person is probably the "Emperor Zhou" who occupies the "protagonist" position in this storm, right?

After King Qin Zui announced that he would no longer pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou, the other kings also silently and low-key stopped paying tribute to the Emperor of Zhou.

The new Emperor Zhou quickly noticed something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it.

Because the previous emperor of Zhou, King Zhou Shenliang and the previous emperor of Zhou all lived in hard times, they all lived more frugally.

In the past few decades, the seven countries' tribute to the Emperor of Zhou had accumulated a lot.

At least he could support Zhou Tianzi's current luxurious life for about half a year more, so Zhou Tianzi just felt angry. For the first time, he realized what anger felt like.

He sat in the main hall with gloomy eyes.

The extremely angry Emperor Zhou was completely irrational, and he did something shocking and even ridiculous.

In the autumn of the fifth year of King Zhaoxiang, the Emperor of Zhou announced that King Qin would not pay tribute and defied the emperor's edict, so he wanted to attack King Qin Ying Ji.

At the same time, Emperor Zhou borrowed troops from the six countries and decided to personally drive and conquer the unjust traitors.

Although the Six Nations find this matter inexplicable, it is a happy thing to see Emperor Zhou defeat Buchen. As for how many of the lent soldiers can come back?

That's a small thing.

Anyway, Emperor Zhou had money and food, so he didn't need them to provide supplies.

Those people are dead. At worst, every country can lend less to Emperor Zhou.

In such a mood, the six countries announced their support for Emperor Zhou's crusade against his subordinates. Each country lent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Together with the soldiers of Emperor Zhou and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a total of nearly ten soldiers were pieced together. Ten thousand troops.

The expression on Emperor Zhou's face as he stood on the chariot was a little wanton. He felt that he, Emperor Zhou, was much more powerful than his father.

With one order, the kings of several countries would lend themselves soldiers and horses.

No one in the world dares to disobey an order.

At this time, he has completely forgotten everything his father told him before he died. He has forgotten what it means to keep a low profile, what it means to be cautious, and what it means not to offend Qin in order to continue the bloodline and the ancestral temple. country.

He just knew that his father had always had objections to Qin when he was alive.

He just knew that he had great opinions on Qin. In the autumn of the fifth year of King Zhaoxiang.

Xianyang City, Zhangtai Palace

Ying Ji looked at the person in front of him with a confused look on his face: "Teacher, what do you think Emperor Zhou is thinking about?"

"How dare he attack Qin?"

"Does he think that Qin is still the same Qin that needed territory from Emperor Zhou? Or does he think that Bangzhou is still the same Bangzhou that no one dared to disobey when he gave an order?"

Chen Shou sat opposite Ying Ji and smacked his lips: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what Emperor Zhou is thinking."

"But now that something like this has happened, we still need to deal with it."

Ying Ji rolled his eyes: "How about dealing with it?"

"If the Six-Nation Alliance sends a famous general, maybe we need to be careful in dealing with it, but this stupid Emperor Zhou."

Ying Ji even paused when he said this, with a sarcastic look on his face: "Does he really know how to fight?"

Although he said this, Ying Ji still summoned his ministers and ordered Sima Cuo to lead his troops to resist.

Perhaps it was a prophecy that the emperor of Zhou came to attack Qin with his troops. Halfway through, he couldn't stand the pain on the march, so he ordered his army to stop and go.

And because he was too extravagant when he was in the palace, he didn't understand the value of money and food at all, so he scolded and insulted the marching soldiers many times.

Although the soldiers had to obey the orders of the Emperor of Zhou, some soldiers were not soldiers of Zhou, but soldiers of the Six Kingdoms.

Over time, the soldiers had great opinions on Emperor Zhou.

But no one has raised it at this time, and if they have any opinions, they just endure it and keep it in their hearts.

Half a month later, the food and grass brought by Emperor Zhou ran out, and the country of Zhou could no longer provide such a huge amount of food and grass, but Emperor Zhou did not want to give up his desire to conquer Qin.

So he sent an edict to the kings of the six countries, asking them to come to see him with food and grass.

The chamberlain who delivered the edict of Emperor Zhou was almost frightened to death, but he had to deliver it because if he didn't deliver it, Emperor Zhou would kill him.

The king of the Six Kingdoms looked at the servant in front of him who also had a look of decline and a look of despair on his face, and his eyes twitched.

Are there really such idiots in this world?

But at this critical moment, the kings of the six countries were unwilling to fall out with Emperor Zhou. They wanted to watch Emperor Zhou conquer Qin, so the words they conveyed to Emperor Zhou were to cry for poverty.

There is also some moral kidnapping involved.

For example, how could the mighty Emperor Zhou ask his ministers to provide food and grass? Are you using your servant's things in vain?

Coupled with the deception of the servants on the side, Emperor Zhou successfully signed an "IOU" and swore in the name of the emperor that the grain and grass were temporarily borrowed from the six countries and would be returned later.

The autumn of King Zhaoxiang's fifth year passed quickly under such an absurd situation.

Business as usual.

Xianyang City Wu'an Junfu

When King Qin Yingji conferred the titles of Lord Wen'an and Lord Wu'an, the two brothers lived in separate houses.

Chen Zhao sat in front of Chen Zhan with a bitter look on his face: "Fifth Uncle! You still laugh at me!"

"Shouldn't you join me in rebuking my father?"
