The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Marquis Ji Qiu of Jinwen was the monarch of the State of Jin in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and when he succeeded to the throne, it was still the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The King of Zhou at that time was the father of King You of Zhou, King Xuan of Zhou.
In the later years of King Xuan of Zhou, the Jin monarch Marquis Mu of Jin, also known as Ji Qiu's father, died. According to the patriarchal system, the eldest son, Ji Qiu, should succeed to the throne.
However, The Marquis of Jin muhou campaigned for King Xuan of Zhou for many years, during which Ji Qiu's uncle assisted the Marquis of Jin many times and had considerable prestige in the army.
After the death of Marquis Muhou of Jin, Ji Qiu's uncle usurped power and seized the throne, known in history as Jin's uncle, while Ji Qiu was forced into exile.
Usurped by his uncle, Ji Qiu of course did not do it. Supposedly, the patriarchal system was destroyed, and King Xuanwang of Zhou should have stood up and spoken to Ji Qiu, but King Xuanwang of Zhou did not do so.
Because King Xuan of Zhou also had his own grievances, he failed many times in his foreign conquests in his later years, and the State of Jin was his powerful foreign aid, and Uncle Jin also made meritorious contributions to him many times. He certainly doesn't cut off his arm.
Therefore, for Ji Qiu's appeal, King Xuan of Zhou directly ignored it.
Three years later, King Xuan of Zhou died, and Ji Qiu thought that the opportunity had come, so a year later, he gathered his henchmen and returned to the Jin state to kill his uncle and became the king of the Jin state.
Originally, the matter should have ended here, although King Xuan of Zhou did not administer justice to Ji Qiu, which may have made Ji Qiu hold a grudge against the Zhou royal family, but openly rebelled against the Zhou royal family, Ji Qiu still did not dare to do it.
But then he waited for an opportunity.
After the death of King You of Zhou, King You's younger brother Ji Yuchen was proclaimed king, and was known as King of Zhou.
King Zhou and King Zhou Ping stood side by side, and Marquis Ji of Jin fell to King Zhou Ping and subsequently took control of King Zhou Ping's dynasty.
At this time, the King of Zhou was very distracted.
Since Ji Qiu had already made a choice between the two Zhou kings, there was no need for the Zhou King to exist.
Therefore, in the 21st year of the reign of King Zhou, Ji Qiu led an attack and killed King Zhou.
Counting up, as the younger son of King Xuan of Zhou, it has been more than thirty years since King Xuan of Zhou ignored Ji Qiu's request at that time to the time when Ji Qiu killed King Zhou.
Although the killing of King Zhou was more because of the political demands of the Jin State, this action also repaid the revenge of King Xuan of Zhou when he saw death and could not be saved.
Therefore, Ji Qiu is really a person as his name suggests, and he really remembers his revenge!
Regarding the end of the vendetta, after his death, his brother began a usurpation journey again. Ji Qiu's descendants are not as lucky as Ji Qiu himself.
The Jin state entered into an infighting that lasted for more than seventy years, most of Ji Qiu's descendants were killed, and finally the country was taken by the descendants of his younger brother's family. This infighting is also known as the QuwoDaiw.
It was also this infighting that the Jin state lost control of King Ping of Zhou, and Ji Qiu's political interests in killing King Zhou were also swallowed up by the later rising State of Zheng.
Therefore, remembering revenge is not a good thing, at least the fate of Ji Qi does not seem to be very good.
