Hokyo, the majestic capital that has stood for 300 years, is in ruins: burnt houses, horrific corpses, ruins all over the city, and the streets are crowded with refugees. The coalition began to deal with the aftermath of the war, rescuing the wounded and refugees, clearing roads and rubbles, moving and burying corpses, and repairing walls and palaces.

Shenhou is the most active in the aftermath of the work, and he is definitely indispensable where he can be in the limelight. He ran day and night to the rescue site to direct the rescue, ate and slept with the soldiers, hugged the injured child and wept affectionately, as if the cause of the disaster had nothing to do with him.

Soon, the crown prince Yijiu returned to Haojing from Shenguo, and Shenhou no longer commanded the rescue, but stuck to the prince's side.

Hokyung's Jongmyo Temple was completely destroyed, so at the suggestion of Shenhou, the crown prince returned to Shenguo to hold a coronation ceremony.

The external strife has not been settled, and the internal strife has risen again. King Zhou Ping was crowned at the same time as his brother Prince Yu, who was put on the throne by Yu Gonghan in another city; Those people seemed to think that the Western Zhou was not chaotic enough. But the forgery was not recognized by the princes, and Prince Yu and his party were later eliminated by Marquis Wen of Jin.

King Zhou Ping didn't care how much damage Shenhou's crimes brought to the country (as long as he could ascend to the throne), and Shenhou also portrayed himself as a chief hero who overthrew tyranny, and Shenhou's heinous crimes immediately became a great feat that blinded people's eyes.

Order in Hokyo is slowly being restored. After dealing with the aftermath of King Zhou You, King Zhou Ping will reward the meritorious ministers. Shen Hou jumped out again at this time, and instead of reflecting on and redeeming his sins, he talked about his great achievements, as if he had conquered the enemy's capital, and the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country were all villains who aided and attered the evil.

Wei Wugong couldn't listen anymore, he interrupted Shenhou and said: "If you regard the capture of the capital of the dynasty as a great feat, then please tell everyone: these doctors standing above the royal court and next to you are your friends?" Or your enemy? As soon as he said this, Shenhou didn't dare to continue talking.

Then King Xuan issued a reward decree, which reads as follows:

First, Feng Jihe was the secretary of the dynasty, and the title of duke was added, and Wei Guo was promoted from the Hou State to the Grand Duchy (but the successor of Wei Guo was not angry, and Wei Guo was demoted to Hou Guo again);

Second, to give the Marquis of Jin Ji a large area of land in Hanoi;

Third, the posthumous prince friend is "Zheng Huan Gong", Zheng Boji dutu succeeded to the position of the royal family as the secretary of the dynasty, and gave the foot of Mount Tai a thousand hectares;

Fourth, the vassal of the Feng Dynasty Qin Shu (i.e., Qin Xianggong) was made an earl, and Qin was promoted from a vassal to a prince.

The next topic is to discuss whether to move the capital into a week.

At that time, the debate was still very fierce, and most people did not want to defend such an ominous city that had suffered a great disaster, but Wei Wugong still strongly advocated staying in Hojing to rebuild his home.

He said that the tiger is called the king of beasts when it is entrenched in the mountains and forests, and if it lingers in the plains, it becomes a dog. In the same way, the terrain of China is that the sky is tilting northwest and the earth is sinking southeast, and the Son of Heaven should condescend to look down on the world. Once the royal family moved eastward and lived among the princes, the Son of Heaven was no longer a king who called the shots, but an exile seeking protection.

In this way, the Son of Heaven will be despised by the princes (you know, this is an era when the strong are kings, who cares about the weak they protect), so where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven? When the Son of Heaven loses his throne and the princes rise together, isn't the world in chaos? There is a Tai family to the land of projectiles, after nearly a thousand years of operation to have today's world, but now we want to abandon the birthplace of our ancestors, what a great shame!

The faction in favor of moving the capital cited the precedents of the Xia and Shang dynasties, so as to say that the capital of the Yin Dynasty was not necessarily related to the authority of the Son of Heaven in the east or west. They emphasized that the current situation is that many of the vassal states in the Hexi region have moved eastward, and some are preparing to move: a large number of cities have been abandoned and the land is barren. Abandoning Hexi is the trend of the times, and without the population, how can we protect the safety of the dynasty and the city? Are you willing to move Wei Guo to Gyeonggi to defend the Western Zhou Dynasty?

Wei Wugong was furious and said that if the royal family stayed where they were, he would move Wei Guo over.

The issue was debated for several days without a result. In the end, Wei Wugong finally took the initiative to give up his claim. The reason for the renunciation was not because of the critical situation and the strong power of the opponents, but because he had heard that King Ping had privately asked Shenhou if he could reconcile with his father's killer and release the captured Rong lords back in order to redeem Bao Xi from Xirong's hands, on the grounds that he "could not bear to see the mother of the country humiliated." ”。

When Wei Wugong heard the news, he couldn't help but beat his chest: "Rotten mud is rotten mud, what is the difference between rotten in the east and rotten in the west!" ”

The plan for moving eastward has been drawn up, and the timetable has been laid out; The day of migration was approaching, and Qin, Jin, Zheng and other countries sent troops to escort them. At the forefront were the Zheng army, followed by the members of the royal family, followed by the people of Hojing, and behind the Qin and Jin armies.

The city officials of Hokyo finally walked out of the city gates, solemnly closing the gates and nailing them to the ground, as if they were about to return and reopen them. All who saw this scene shed tears. The scene of the migration was tragic and bleak, and refugees from other cities joined along the way, all of whom were well protected.

When the migratory army arrived at Jiaoyi (present-day Sanmenxia), Qin Xianggong was ready to return to his division. Before the Qin people left, King Ping issued an edict and swore a blood oath with Qin Xianggong. The book of alliances said that if the Qin state could expel Xirong and recover the Western Zhou homeland, it would be able to enjoy all the land west of Qishan.

Since the royal army could not recover the lost territory of Qixi by its own strength no matter what, King Ping thought that there was no hope anyway, so it was better to be a favor and give the Qin people a beating by the way. The loyal and honest Qin people were excited, and they thought that if they expanded their territory to Qixi, Qin would become the largest vassal state under the royal family! The Qin people immediately went back to prepare for war in high spirits.
