At this time, the people who can be used by the king of Zhouzhuang are very few. During the period of King Zhouzhuang's father, he once presided over a big battle. Among them, King Huan of Zhou was in charge of the central army, father Lin of Guo Gong was in charge of the right army, and father Lin was in charge of the left army. These two men were obviously the most important ministers of the Zhou royal family. Later, Lin Fu, the Duke of Guo, was driven out of the capital by King Huan of Zhou, leaving black shoulder of Duke Zhou, which is a good legacy for his son, King Zhouzhuang.
King Zhouzhuang is the eldest son, and belongs to the orthodoxy of inheriting the throne. However, while inheriting the throne, Duke Zhouzhuang also inherited the grievances of his ancestors. In fact, King Huan didn't like his son. What king Huan liked was his other son, Jike. It doesn't matter. After all, he is the eldest son. King Zhouzhuang doesn't have to worry about Jike. What's important is that Duke Zhou's black shoulder and Jike got mixed up.
When it comes to Zhou Gong's black shoulder, we have to talk about the battle between Zhou and Zheng a few years ago. The left army of Duke Zhou's black shoulder was mainly Chen's army. Although the left army was the first one to be defeated by the state of Zheng, it was also the cause of the collapse of the whole army of the Zhou royal family. As a defeated general, Duke Zhou's black shoulder was not denounced by the emperor, which was enough to show the lack of Royal talents. Chen was the most likely vassal to establish an alliance with Duke Zhou Heijian.
Then, if Duke Zhou Heijian wants to help Jike usurp the throne, he must seek the help of the state of Chen. As a close Minister of King Huan of Zhou, Duke Zhou Hei shoulder should know the mind of the emperor. This is the reason why Duke Zhou Hei shoulder wanted to go against the heaven.
The state of Chen is not a powerful country. This is a time when Chen is in turmoil in the palace. He is often too busy to help the Duke of Zhou. The most important thing is that although the Zhou royal family was in decline, the king of Zhouzhuang was not a soft persimmon. He had seen the conspiracy of Duke Zhou Heijian for a long time and began to prepare for a rainy day.
King Zhouzhuang saw that since three generations, the state of Jin and the state of Zheng supported by the royal family of Zhou has become increasingly powerful. Moreover, the two countries are very close to the king of Zhou. They always let him eat tasteless, sleep sleepless, and see the world. The distant state of Qi seems to be a good choice, and the state of Qi is also a potential stock.
With the help of the relationship with Lu, King Zhouzhuang married his sister to Qi. The royal family of Zhou and the state of Qi have always been related by marriage, which is even more intimate. Especially in this period of war, the decision of King Zhouzhuang was very accurate. The conspiracy of Jike was not revealed soon, and his faction was destroyed by King Zhouzhuang. Even Jike had no place to escape.
I, with the help of distant friends, with the help of the alliance like beauty, just at this time Zheng and Jin entered troubled times, Zhou royal family seems to have the hope of rising again.
