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

Chapter 135 What is bound to happen [st update, please subscribe]

In the summer of King Zhaoxiang's sixth year, rain fell on the ground from time to time, awakening everything that had awakened in spring again.

Everything in Qin's country is also very peaceful.

Above the court, Ying Ji has not shown too much ambition and the nature of the "big devil"

The State of Qin still operates according to everything it did when he was not in charge. The three princes and three divisions seem to have just changed their identities, from the original "ministers who assist the country" to the famous "three princes" and "three divisions".

The two countries of Yan and Zhao also developed their own strength.

With Leyi's presence, Yan's power has progressed rapidly, and even caught up with Zhao's power to a certain extent.

During the Warring States Period, the struggle was for the existence of a "famous general".

King Yan Zhao was also very tolerant towards Le Yi and would basically satisfy any request.

The Zhao State also climbed to a certain peak under the development of King Zhao Huiwen. In other words, the Zhao State in this period was more powerful than the Zhao State in its original historical trajectory.

The Qin State single-handedly raised the upper limit of the world's strength level.

"Gong", Eastern Zhou Dynasty

Emperor Zhou was sitting in the main hall, with a slightly depressed and angry look on his face. He threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground with a drunken look on his face.

Only then did he understand and finally remember his father's explanation.

Don't offend Qin!

Never offend Qin!

Be sure not to get involved in the war between the Six Kingdoms and Qin!

Emperor Zhou finally understood the meaning of these three sentences.

Because in the first month of last year, when Qin stopped paying tribute to Emperor Zhou, the other six countries stopped paying tribute to Emperor Zhou one after another, and the reason was very simple.

All his money and food were borrowed by Emperor Zhou.

So there was no extra money or food to pay tribute. Moreover, the Qin State did not pay tribute, so why should they pay tribute?

At that time, Emperor Zhou had not thought so much.

He just felt that if he didn't pay tribute, he wouldn't pay tribute. It was no big deal.

Until one day, a chamberlain who was really loyal to him told him that there was not much food and money in the treasury, and he hoped that he would stop being so extravagant.

Now that the Seven Kingdoms have stopped paying tribute, if he continues like this, he may be on the verge of starving to death in less than two years!

This frightened Emperor Zhou very much.

In other words - furious.

At that time, in anger, he almost killed the loyal chamberlain directly, but he did not kill him directly because the chamberlain was the person left by his father, but he also abandoned it.

He kept thinking about this matter after that, and only after he actually went to the treasury to see it did he realize that what the chamberlain said was not false at all.

The treasury is really going to be empty!

And no one dared to tell him this.

This was what made Emperor Zhou even more frightened, shocked, and even angry.

Now, the chamberlain is standing beside him, still loyal to him, and Emperor Zhou no longer trusts other chamberlains.

Emperor Zhou sighed faintly and said, "How could this happen?"

There was confusion on his face.

While cleaning up the matter for the Emperor of Zhou, the chamberlain softly comforted the Emperor of Zhou: "Your Majesty, it's the kings of the six kingdoms who have deceived you. Otherwise, how could you have fallen out with Qin and conquered Qin?"

"If they hadn't bewitched the king, the king would not have tried to sow discord between the Chen family and Qin, and Qin would not have stopped paying tribute."

When he said this, he spat: "The Qin State is not a good person. Because of these small things, it stopped paying tribute and even said that it would no longer be a vassal of our country!"

After cleaning up all the messy things on the floor, he stood next to Emperor Zhou.

And Emperor Zhou also expressed his approval.

How could he possibly blame himself? How could it be possible to put all the blame on yourself? Now, the chamberlain has found a suitable outlet for him.

Six Kingdoms.

His eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "That's right! If the kings of the Six Kingdoms hadn't bewitched me, how could I have done such a thing?"

Emperor Zhou exhaled slowly, and while listening to the soothing words of the chamberlain, he was planning in his mind how to take revenge on the "King of the Six Kingdoms".

As for Qin?

He doesn't dare to retaliate against Qin yet.

After all, Qin is too powerful! It made him a little intimidated.

When the night was getting dark, the chamberlain slowly walked out of the hall and limped towards his residence.

Emperor Zhou took pity on him and specially built a separate residence for him in this palace as compensation for him.

In the house, candles were burning little by little.

He was lying on the desk, writing something quietly on the silk.

"According to calculation."

Chu

The King of Chu sighed softly, and then said with some thoughts on his face: "The power of Emperor Zhou has declined to this point. Can't we, the Kingdom of Chu, take a seat in this world?"

He squinted his eyes and had a bit of evil energy about him.

The King of Chu knew that if he were to stand out, he would be "beaten" by others. After all, anything as beautiful as Lin Feng would destroy it.

But he didn't care at all.

Above the alliance, he has to do that thing to ask questions of the world!

In autumn, the sixth year of King Zhaoxiang.

The autumn wind kills.

The kings of the seven countries came to "Gong" one after another. The Emperor of Zhou had already built a platform for the alliance in the wilderness outside the city of "Gong". At this time, on the altar, the kings of the seven countries and an emperor of Zhou stood there.

The Emperor of Zhou was crowning the kings of the six kingdoms as kings

The bronze nine-cauldron, which symbolized the kingship of the world, was placed on the altar. The soft sound of the chimes echoed around him, and some green smoke flew up to the sky with the sound of prayers.

Emperor Zhou kept a straight face from beginning to end, but the other monarchs did not care about this.

Just keep a straight face, as long as things are done anyway.

Everyone thought that this alliance meeting ended peacefully, and everything was as expected.

However, what King Chu did next was a bit shocking.

King Chu stepped forward, stopped Emperor Zhou who was about to leave, and said with a smile: "Why is the emperor so anxious?"

"We finally got together to congratulate the emperor on his achievements. How could you leave?"

King Zhou Nan's expression changed, and he looked at King Chu standing in front of him: "What else does King Chu want?"

King Chu's expression did not change, and he just said softly: "No."

He pointed to the Jiuding in the distance and asked lightly: "It's just that since we are kings, we are a little curious about some things."

King Chu smiled and glanced at everyone. He knew that the person who bribed his servants and tricked him into asking that question was among the remaining six people.

But he doesn't care.

He just wanted to ask that sentence.

So, the King of Chu stepped forward and said, "I wonder how heavy this Nine Cauldron is, which symbolizes the power of the emperor and the stability of the country?"

"In the fourth year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty, all the kings gathered at "Gong" to form an alliance. King Chu asked the emperor: "Since we are kings, how important is the tripod? "——"Warring States Book·Zhou Benji Fourth""
