The resurgence of King Xuan temporarily made the Zhou Dynasty rich and powerful. When the ignorant and mediocre King You of Zhou played tricks on the princes, King Ping of Zhou had no choice but to move eastward and establish the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. From then on, the Emperor of Zhou lost the right to command the world.
Although the Zhou royal family existed, it had long existed in name only. The princes began to fight for hegemony in the world, and five overlords appeared one after another. Although they ordered the princes not to disobey them, they still carried the banner of "respecting the king and repelling the barbarians"!
War is too cruel for ordinary people. The people hope that a sage monarch will emerge who can unify the world and end the endless wars in the world. People with lofty ideals offer suggestions one after another, hoping that the country they support can be unified. No matter how different their ideas are, they all have a common goal-unification.
After three hundred years of annexation by princes, only the seven kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin were left. In order to eliminate the other six kingdoms, the seven kingdoms carried out a series of military, political, and economic reforms. In the end, Qin won victory in all aspects, eliminated the six kingdoms, and unified the world.
From about 770 BC to 221 BC, many kings, generals, ministers, and famous ministers and traitors set off huge waves in the long river of history, thus changing the direction of history and allowing China to move from division and turmoil to unification.
