After King Jing's death, he was succeeded by King Mo of Zhou, who died after less than a year on the throne. During the reign of King Zhou Mourning, because of the succession to the throne, civil unrest broke out in the Zhou royal family. Since King Zhou's father, King Jing of Zhou, favored the Shuzi Ji Dynasty during his reign, the struggle between the prince and the favored son was staged again, and the Ji Dynasty eventually occupied the capital of Zhou.
After fleeing, King Mo was escorted back to Wang Du by the State of Jin, but soon fell ill and died, and after his death, King Jing of Zhou's second son Ji Zhao, with the support of the State of Jin, succeeded to the throne as King Jing of Zhou. At this time, the Ji Dynasty occupied Luoyi and established himself as king, and King Jing had to take refuge temporarily, until five years later, when the Jin State sent troops to escort King Jing back to the Zhou capital, and the Ji Dynasty was defeated and defected to the Chu State with the scriptures and the nobles who followed him. However, in the sixteenth year of King Jing, the disciples of the Ji Dynasty began to rebel again, and King Jing of Zhou fled to the State of Jin, and returned to the capital of Zhou the following year under the escort of the State of Jin. In the same year, the State of Wu attacked the State of Chu and won the final victory of the battle between Wu and Chu for many years, and King Jing took the opportunity to send someone to assassinate the Ji Dynasty in the State of Chu.
After King Jing's death, his son Ji Ren succeeded to the throne as King Yuan of Zhou. During the reign of King Yuan, King Gou of Yue destroyed the state of Wu after many years of lying down and tasting his guts, and took the opportunity to go north to fight for hegemony, and sent emissaries to meet king of Zhou Yuan in Xudi and Qi Jin, Lu Song and other congresses, and after the alliance, he sent emissaries to see King Yuan of Zhou, and King Yuan was crowned as a prince (the rank of princes, the prince of Bozi, the prince of Zhou Tianzi, the king of Zhou Tianzi, the rank is at the top, as to why he no longer calls himself empress or emperor like Xia Shang, it is said that it is because Zhou Tianzi thinks that his virtue is not enough, it may be that he thinks that the title of emperor is too immortal, not what should be in the world, so he is willing to demote himself to the title of king), As a son of heaven, he recognized the supremacy of Gou Jian among the princes.
After the death of King Yuan, his son Ji Jie succeeded to the throne as King Zhending of Zhou. During the reign of King Zhending of Zhou, the three powerful masters of the Jin State, Han Zhao wei, officially divided the Jin State into three emerging powers (just as the princely states were emptying and squeezing Zhou Tianzi, and there were also powerful masters within the old big countries to empty and squeeze the various princely monarchs, such as the previous State of Lu, and the current State of Jin, and even more the State of Qi soon after, so you sang and I appeared, coming and going, countless), history called the three families of Jin. The Warring States Era is coming.
After the death of King Zhending of Zhou, his eldest son Ji Ji (姬) succeeded him as King of Zhou, but soon after King Ai was killed by his younger brother Ji Shu, who was coveting the throne. Uncle Ji killed The Queen of Sorrows and succeeded to the throne as King Si of Zhou. Soon after, he was attacked and killed by his younger brother Ji Wei, who succeeded him as King Kao of Zhou. In this way, three of King Zhending's four sons were directly involved in the struggle for the throne. After King Kao succeeded to the throne, in order to prevent his brother from usurping the throne again, he directly divided the land of Wang Qi into two, and his brother Ji Jie as the Duke of Zhou Huan, who ruled the land of Henan, called Western Zhou, and the already very small State of Zhou was actually divided into two.
After king Kao's death, his son Ji Wu succeeded to the throne, that is, King Weilie of Zhou. During his reign, in 403 BC, he officially appointed the three masters of Han Zhao wei as waiting, and the three families of Han Zhao and Wei as princely states. History calls the three branches of the Jin. In the three families, the State of Wei, under the leadership of Marquis Wenhou of Wei, reused Li Wu to implement reforms, and the State of Wei quickly became powerful, becoming the number one power at the beginning of the Warring States Era, and began to fight and annex.
After the death of King Weilie of Zhou, his son King An of Zhou succeeded to the throne. During his reign, Tian He, the Grand Master of the State of Qi, controlled the power of the State of Qi and eventually exiled the Monarch Kang Gong of the State of Qi to the sea, and Tian He became the de facto monarch of the State of Qi. In 386 BC, king Of Zhou'an sealed Tian He as QiHou, which marked the realization of another great power to achieve the defeat of the old aristocratic forces by a new feudal power. At the same time, the monarch of the Chu state, King Chu Mourning, appointed Wu Qi to implement the change of law, to attack the old nobles, to strengthen the centralization of power, the state of Chu quickly became strong, conquest everywhere, greatly increased its territory, and defeated the State of Wei, which took the lead in changing the law. But then King Chu mourned the death, Wu Qi was killed by the old nobles, the reform of the Chu state stopped, the rise momentum decreased sharply, and eventually became the existence of the seven heroes of the Warring States who were large but not strong, dead but not frontier. In 376 BC, the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei deposed the vain Jin junju as a commoner, and the Jin state, the premier state of the Spring and Autumn Period, was finally destroyed. In the same year, King An of Zhou fell ill and died.
After the death of King An of Zhou, his son Ji Xi succeeded to the throne as King Lie of Zhou. After the death of King Lie of Zhou, his brother Ji Bian succeeded to the throne as King Xianwang of Zhou. He gave the last of the land of Wang Qi to Gongzi Gen and established the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, leaving only the royal palace of the King of Zhou, which was considered to be a hermit in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Xianwang period, the State of Qin appointed the Shang King to change the law, which was the most thorough state change law that implemented the feudal landlord class ideology among the princely states, and the State of Qin quickly became a warring states power, at the same time, the State of Qi defeated the State of Wei through two wars, the power of the State of Wei further declined, and the State of Qi rose.
After The Death of King Xian, his son Ji Ding succeeded to the throne as King Shenliang of Zhou. Since the State of Chu of Wei, which had changed the law first at this time, was already weakened, and qin Qi, which was on both sides, was rising, the Zongheng family took two strategies as the core to play a game between states, one was the combination of vertical and vertical, that is, the six eastern countries united against the emerging Qin state, and the other was Lianheng, which was a strategy of uniting the State of Qi and other eastern powers led by the Qin state to attack the countries located in the Central Plains (mainly the Three Jins). At this time, the world tended to be unified by force, and the only countries that had the ability to carry out reunification were the two states of Qin and Qi, which rose later.
After the death of King Shenliang of Zhou, King Zhao of Zhou succeeded to the throne, and he was the last king of Zhou of the orthodox branch of the Royal Family of the Zhou Dynasty, in the fifty-ninth year. King Zhao of Zhou initially lived in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, but was later forcibly moved to the Western Zhou Kingdom by the Qin State. In 256 BC, the State of Qin officially attacked Western Zhou and the Zhou Dynasty fell.
