Chapter 21: The Western Weekend (2)

Two years have passed, and King Youwang still has no intention of releasing the title of Praise; It seems that the Youwang has either forgotten his existence or is preparing to let him die of old age in prison.

The son of Bao Fengjun decided to use the methods of Taidian and Hongyao to deal with the king of Xuan in exchange for his father's freedom. After searching in many ways, he finally found a stunning girl from a poor family. The girl was originally an abandoned baby and was later adopted by a kind widowed uncle. Feng Jun promised her adoptive father that he would give her the best life and pay him a huge fortune, and then took her away from his adoptive father.

Feng Jun taught her etiquette, music and dance; After the training came out, he dedicated her to the Youwang, and finally exchanged for her father's freedom. This girl is Bao Xi.

Bao Xi soon gathered thousands of favors into one, and King Zhou You blocked all contact with his wives and concubines, and soaked in Bao Xi's bedroom day and night.

The exclusive favor caused the strong dissatisfaction of the queen Shin Kang and the crown prince Yi Jiu, and the inevitable conflict finally broke out between the old love and the new love. The queen ridiculed her as a countryman, saying that she was uneducated and ineligible to enter the palace.

Bao Xi sneered at each other, and she was really flattered that these words came out of the mouth of a princess of a big country and the mother of the Western Zhou Dynasty - she was not jealous of the queen, but the most powerful woman in the whole world was jealous of her, a countryman.

The queen was furious and immediately rushed to scratch her face. Bao Xi acted quickly and immediately turned and fled.

When the prince learned of the conflict between the two, he took the lead for his mother, and he humiliated him fiercely, and his words were mixed with a lot of frivolous words; Bao Xi intensified her efforts to sue the mother and son. But her cheeks were crimson when she spoke of the prince's frivolous words, and she repeated them without missing a word, as if she hated them.

The King of Darkness was furious and ordered the arrest of the crown prince. But the prince knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he slipped out of the capital and fled to his uncle Shenhou without waiting for the informant to report the news. King You searched the entire palace and couldn't find the prince, so he put the queen under house arrest, and then went to have fun again.

Soon, Bao Xi gave birth to a son for King You, and King You named him "Bofu". As soon as the name was announced, the whole country was in an uproar. The ancients arranged the order according to Bo (Meng), Zhong, Shu, and Ji, such as the eldest son of King Tai of Zhou was called Taibo, the second son Zhong Yong, and the younger son Ji Li. King You gave his youngest son an "uncle", which is to announce to the world: this child is his eldest son, and the elder Yijiu is no longer his son.

In that year, King Xuan of Zhou conferred the land of Zheng (near present-day Huaxian County, Shaanxi) in Gyeonggi to his younger brother Wang Ziyou (Zheng Boyou). In the eighth year of King You, Wang Ziyou was promoted to the secretary of the dynasty by King You of Zhou, and the official was Situ - this is probably the only right thing that King You has done in his life.

The cabinet of the Western Zhou Dynasty had two major official subordinates, namely "Taishiliao" and "Qingshiliao", and "colleagues" worked together in one "liao".

Taishiliao is in charge of all kinds of classics, ceremonial sacrifices, astronomical calendars and other affairs, including Taishi, Taizhu and other officials; Qingshiliao was in charge of military and political affairs, including officials such as Taishi, Taibao, Dazai, Sikong, Sima, Sishi, and Situ. Situ was in charge of the land and various labor affairs of the state.

The power of the secretary is enormous, and he knows more about the inside of the country than ordinary officials. Zheng Boyou was restless all day after learning the true situation of the country, and he couldn't help but worry about the future of the dynasty and Zheng Guo.

Zheng Boyou went to visit Taishi Boyang and asked him how to save the dynasty and save Zheng Guo. Boyang told him that the dynasty was not saved, and that he could only save Zheng Guo if he wanted to save it, who was also part of the dynasty after all. The only way to save Zheng Guo is to move the country to the Central Plains.

Zheng Boyou then went to see King You and said to him: "The state treasury is very empty now, and the ministers are willing to dedicate the land and treasures given by the previous king to the royal family. But the Zheng people need land to resettle, so please ask the Son of Heaven to move my people to the place between Yu and Yi. "The king coveted land and possessions, and he happily agreed. Later, Zheng Bo moved Zheng Guo to the Central Plains in a planned and step-by-step manner.

On the way east, the Zheng people met many acquaintances: many Western Zhou nobles, like Zheng Boyou, transferred their clansmen and property to the east. Due to the massive loss of population and property, the national strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty was even weaker; What's even more terrifying is that people's hearts have been scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.
