Chapter 276: Infamy, Jiang Boyue doesn’t want to be Rick
If Jiang Boyue were to bear this infamy, then he would most likely not be able to continue to be a Han minister like his teacher Zhuge Liang. He could only be a traitorous Han official like Cao Mengde, who could support his own troops.
But he didn't want to. After all, this was very contrary to the teacher's lifelong loyalty to the Han Dynasty. He didn't bother to be a person like Shen Hou who cooperated with others to plot to assassinate the emperor.
There is no one who can replace Liu Chan.
During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty, he divided his younger brothers into feudal states and established ancient Korea (Hejin County, Shanxi Province), Han State (Qinyang City, Henan Province), Tang State (Yicheng County, Shanxi Province), and Ying State (Pingdingshan City, Henan Province).
The king of the Tang Kingdom is Tang Shuyu, and the area is the territory of the ancient Tao Tang clan, also known as "Great Xia". The Tao Tang clan is a descendant of the ancient Yao Emperor, and was a vassal state of Tang during the Xia and Shang Dynasties.
Because Tao Tang's Tang state participated in the Sanjian Rebellion, the state was deprived of its title and was given to King Zhou Cheng's younger brother Yu.
During the period of Xiefu, the son of Shu Yu of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zhou took the capital of the country back under his direct jurisdiction. Xiefu was forced to move the capital to Jinyang, and it was renamed the Kingdom of Jin from then on.
During the period of King Zhou Cheng, Jin was just a small country, just like the other younger brothers of King Zhou Cheng. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jin had been unknown. In order to resist the invasion of Beidi, the capital of Jin was moved to Yicheng.
The Jin State fought with many foreign countries including Dayong, Baidi, and Chidi in Shanxi, and gradually expanded its territory to the north.
In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, there were riots by the Chinese people, republican administration and other incidents. Finally, the Marquis of Shen colluded with the Dog Rong army to invade and kill King Zhou You, and Haojing fell.
As a traitor, Shen Hou united with several princes surnamed Jiang (Shen Hou Jiang) to support his nephew King Zhou Ping; the princes of Guo State and other princes who had assisted the emperor for generations and served as ministers supported King Zhou You's younger brother as King Zhou Xie.
Because he seduced Quan Rong and killed his father, King Zhou Ping, who was supported by Shen Hou, was shameless to the world. In order to gain support, King Zhou Ping granted Qin Xianggong to the princes and donated all the land west of Qishan;
Territory; in recognition of Marquis Wen of Jin’s support, he donated all the land in the Fen River Basin.
During the turbulent period of the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, countries such as Qin, Jin, and Zheng gained large amounts of territory through speculation.
From then on, the Jin State began a large-scale expansion. Twenty years after King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the Jin State had expanded to most parts of Shanxi.
In 750 B.C., Marquis Wen of Jin used the excuse that King Zhou Tie was incorrectly appointed to the throne, led his troops to kill King Zhou Tie, and occupied the eastern part of Shanxi and Hebei, the fiefdom of King Zhou Tie, and once again gained profits.
Jin, a vassal state with the surname Ji, rose to prominence in the early Spring and Autumn Period through despicable means and became the hegemon of the world.
It's a pity that the Jin Kingdom was also calculated in this way later. It was really a cycle of cause and effect.
Duke Xian of Jin was named after his father captured the Rong and Di leader Guizhu alive.
After taking the throne, he used Shilai's plan to wipe out the Fu family's descendants and the Huanzhuang clan to consolidate the throne. He pursued the policy of respecting the king and improved his reputation.
Attacked Li Rong, Geng, Huo, Wei and other countries, defeated Di Rong, adopted Xun Xi's false strategy to attack Guo, and eliminated the powerful enemies Yu and Guo. History said that "the seventeenth country was merged and the thirty-eighth country was conquered."
.
After conquering Li Rong, he obtained Li Ji and her sister. Duke Xian of Jin loved the two sisters very much and forced the then crown prince Shen Sheng to death because of this.
Before Duke Xian of Jin died, he entrusted Li Ji and Xi Qi to his loyal minister Xun Xi, and appointed Xun Xi as prime minister.
Soon, Duke Xian of Jin passed away, and Xun Xi, the prime minister, followed Xi Gong's orders and made Xi Qi the Marquis of Jin and Li Ji the mother of the country. He became the prime minister himself and began to quietly adjust the military power.
Rick Ying, whose surname is Li, and whose given name is Ke, is a general of Duke Xian of Jin, a loyal minister of Duke Xian of Jin, and a staunch supporter of Prince Shen Sheng. When he saw Li Ji snatching military power, he was very angry and started to revolt.
Rick accused Xun Xi of forgetting the second son who had fled, but he supported Xi Qi. During the funeral for Xian Gong, Rick sent someone to stab Xi Qi to death.
Xun Xi cried bitterly, and then summoned all the civil and military officials to help the nine-year-old Zhuo Zi to the throne and established him as the new king. But Rick was still unwilling to accept it, and in November, he killed Zhuo Zi again.
The ministers headed by Rick killed the two young masters and took control of the country's power of life and death. However, the country could not live without a king for a day, so they prepared to welcome back Chong'er and Yiwu.
But Chong'er was afraid of bloody killings and his life was important, so he politely declined Rick's invitation, so Rick could only choose Yiwu.
Yiwu promised that if he became the king, he would make Rick the prime minister, give him one million acres of land, and ask Qin for assistance.
Yiwu successfully became the king of Jin, and he was Duke Hui of Jin.
Yi Wu, who became the king, failed to fulfill his promise to Rick. At the same time, he was worried that he would be killed like Xi Qi and Zhuo Zi, so he was always on guard against the powerful minister Rick.
For his own safety, he began to suppress Rick and placed more of his cronies in important military and political affairs to weaken Rick's military power.
Rick did not gain any benefits by supporting Yiwu. Instead, his power was weakened and he felt the crisis of his situation.
Rick, who is prone to regicide, wants to depose Li Li again and wants to depose Yi Wu to welcome Li Li, the wandering young master Chong'er.
Duke Hui of Jin saw this, and although he wanted to kill Rick, Rick had done a great job in helping him ascend to the throne, so he made no move for the time being.
Querui, the favored minister of Duke Hui of Jin, saw that Duke Hui of Jin had murderous intentions, so he led the Que family soldiers to surround Rick's family. Rick committed suicide! Although he could feel proud for a while after assassinating the king, Rick even sent people to kill two people in succession.
Jun,
But in the end, he did not end up committing suicide. The infamy of killing two emperors in succession has been passed down through the ages. Even he had some public concerns for the Jin State.
He didn't want to be like Rick of the Han Dynasty and end up committing suicide, which would affect his whole family and bring him eternal infamy.
Even though His Majesty is not very wise now, he does not want to disobey the Prime Minister's entrustment. After all, His Majesty once honored the Prime Minister as his father-in-law. He only hopes that one day he can be like the Prime Minister and assist His Majesty in restoring the Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
It's a pity that all this still needs to wait for an opportunity, wait for an opportunity to rise to the top, and then he can really let go of his hands and feet and show what he has learned!
Liu Chan smiled and said: "You must live a good life for me in the future and work for the great man. I will definitely give you more rewards."
The four of them all bowed their hands and said, "If I thank Your Majesty, I will die to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" Guo Xiu also reluctantly followed the others in saluting.
Liu Chan thought for a while and then said: "Bo Yue, don't think that I am too kind to the four of them. If you want to be promoted to a higher level, you will have no chance. I still see Bo Yue's talents.
In the future, Boyue will surely achieve greater feats for the Han Dynasty!"
Jiang Wei also bowed his hands like the others before and said: "I will work hard to revive the Han Dynasty and die!"
Liu Chan yawned and said, "It's hot, so please leave. Go back and have a rest."
Jiang Wei and others clasped their fists and said, "Please leave."
