Since the hereditary system replaced the Zen system, the struggle for power in history has been going on all the time.
In the eyes of those of us who have lived in the current society since childhood, it is simply unimaginable to have loved ones. But in that era, the more fierce the fight between the closest relatives, and the end was the complete disappearance of the fighting party. Sometimes even hatred lasts for generations.
The State of Jin was a prince of the Ji clan who was built by King Cheng's younger brother Shu Yu. At first, the title was Tang, and later Shu Yu's son Xie Father changed the name of the country to Jin. As a prince surnamed Ji, the State of Jin was one of the four great powers of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the battle for the monarch that lasted for decades eventually weakened the Jin state office, and was eventually divided and destroyed by the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei.
The incident began in 806 BC, when Marquis Muhou of Jin followed Zhou Tianzi in his crusade against Tiao Rong and Ben Rong, fought a losing battle, and returned just in time for his wife to give birth to a son, and in order not to forget the defeat, he named his son a vendetta. Later, Mu Hou led an army to attack the Rong clan of Qianmu and won, just as the lady gave birth to a son, she took the name Chengshi. The names of the two sons were widely discussed, and the younger son's favored master posed a threat to his brother Qiu's succession.
After Mu Hou's death, Qiu killed his uncle who succeeded to the throne in a coup d'état, and succeeded to the throne, that is, Wen Hou. At this time, Zhou Tianzi was the King of Zhou You, the Prince of Beacon Theatre. He favored him and deposed Li Shu, causing his deposed son's grandfather, Marquis Shen, to invade and kill King You of Zhou. Marquis Zeng's grandson succeeded to the throne as King Ping of Zhou. Marquis Wen sent troops and succeeded to the throne as the younger brother of King Liyou of Ji, who was King Hui of Zhou. As a result, there was a rare situation in which two Zhou Tianzi stood side by side.

Later, the parties agreed to jointly protect King Liping, and Wenhou killed King Hui in public. The abolition of Zhou Tianzi made the chengshi students hope to replace their brothers.
After Qiu's death, his son Bo succeeded him as the Marquis of Zhao, and enfeoffed his uncle Chengshi to quwo city. The area of Quwo City is larger than the capital wing city. As a result, the power of the master became more and more powerful. While running a tun army in Quwo, he also won the hearts and minds of the people of Yicheng. Within a few years, the chancellor Pan Father killed Zhaohou Yingli and became a master. However, most of the people in the wing city opposed the formation of the division and rebelled. The division failed and returned to Quwo. Marquis Zhao's son succeeded him as Marquis Xiao. The first grab failed.
In the eighth year of the Filial Piety, the 73-year-old Chengshi died, and his son Xian continued to inherit his father's aspirations and continue to seize the throne. In the fifteenth year of filial piety, Xian ordered people to directly kill xiaohou. However, the Jin people found help from other princely states and defeated Xian. The younger brother of the Jin dynasty Marquis Xiaohou succeeded him as marquis of E. The second seizure failed again.
Within a few years, Xian bribed the Zhou royal family to join forces with Zheng Guo and Xing Guo to attack Ehou, and Ehou fled in defeat. However, later Xian betrayed Zhou Tianzi, so King Huan of Zhou in turn assisted Hou Ehou in his crusade against Xian. Li'ehou's son Guang was the Marquis of Sorrow. The third attempt to seize the throne failed again. But after several battles, the strength of the monarch was increasingly weakened.
After mourning for two years, he died of grief and anger, and the son said that he would continue the unsuccessful career of his grandfather and father. In the eighth year of the reign of the Marquis of Wai, he said that he had joined forces with the Emperor of Yicheng to attack the Marquis of Ai, and had won a complete victory and captured the Marquis of Aihou. The Jin dynasty made the son of the Marquis of Wai a son the Marquis of Xiaozi. He said that he ordered people to kill the Mourning Hou, and the battle for the throne began to succeed.
A few years later, he said that he had lured the younger son Hou to Quwo to be killed. King Huan of Zhou was dissatisfied with sending troops to attack. Claiming that he could not resist, King Huan of Zhou made hou the younger brother of Marquis Of Zhou. Without the help of King Huan of Zhou, the seizure of the throne was successful this time.
In the twenty-eighth year of the Jin Dynasty, he said that he once again sent troops to attack Yicheng and kill the Marquis of Jin. In order to prevent Zhou Tianzi from interfering, he said that he would bribe the succeeding King of Zhou with the treasures and treasures he had looted. Finally, Zhou Tianzi admitted the seizure of the throne and appointed him as the Marquis of Jin. He was officially made the Prince of Jinwu the Prince of Jin.
After 67 years of fighting between three generations of grandchildren, Xiaozong of the Jin Dynasty replaced Emperor Dazong as monarch. It also made future generations see the hope of seizing the throne. In order not to repeat the mistake, the later Jin Xiangong killed all the Kinzhi Clans, and the power of the Jin state began to be manipulated in the hands of Liu Qing. In the end, it was divided up by Han, Zhao, and Wei among the six qings and the country was destroyed.
