Can Zhou Jiuding: I Will Never Be a Puppet of the Country's Subjugation

In 315 BC, the 22-year-old Ji Yan ascended to the throne of Emperor Zhou and was known as King Nan of Zhou in history. At this time, the Zhou Dynasty has long been divided into two countries: Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou. The Duke of Western Zhou monopolizes the wealth, military power and officials of the royal city. The treasury is empty, and the ancestral temples and ritual vessels are incomplete. The princes of Guandong have long ignored the authority of the emperor, and Qiang Qin is coveting the Jiuding of Luoyi day and night. The history books conclude that he is the last puppet who is cowardly, incompetent and unable to save his country. In the end, he can only sacrifice his weapon to subjugate his country. But Ji Yan, who is on the road to the throne again, will never make the same mistake. When the powerful ministers in the court squeezed him, he went out of the palace to cultivate the people in the suburbs and win over the hearts of the people at the bottom; while the princes of other countries looked on coldly, he used the art of manipulation to control Han, Wei, Chu, and Qi, and used his power to check and balance the violent Qin; there were no soldiers or food in the palace, so he secretly recruited loyal hermits and local warriors to accumulate strength, and gradually took back the power that belonged to the emperor of Zhou. With the dilapidated royal palace as the foundation and the Nine Tripods of the Kingdom as the obsession, Ji Yan will reverse the decline of the Three Hundred Zhou Dynasty, restore the dignity of the emperor, and will never be a puppet of the subjugated country at the mercy of others in this life.
