Chapter 19: The King You who plays with the princes in the beacon fire (Part 2)

When Ji Gongfeng saw that Bao Si liked the Sesame brother and sister in front of him, he loved the house and said to Ma Doudou and Zhiguoguo, "Will you brother and sister stay by the queen and talk and chat with the queen?"

Seeing that Ji Gongfeng did not want to deal with him and Zhi Guoguo, Ma Doudou smiled and replied respectfully to Ji Gongfeng, "Okay, king."

Shin-gami's close servant attached to his ear and whispered a few words, "Gou will leave for a while in advance. You will accompany the queen to appreciate the flowers in the garden first. If you can make the queen happy and make the queen smile on her face, Gou will have a great reward."

Zhiguoguo thought about it without thinking and replied directly to Shiēng's words, "King, we brother and sister will definitely make the queen smile on her face."

After Ji Gongmin left, Ma Doudou pulled Zhi Guoguo's hand, "Sister, you just got into trouble. This queen is born to be unable to laugh. No one can do anything about us..."

Bao Si interrupted Ma Doudou's words. "Are you afraid of me?"

Ma Doudou scratched her head with blushing, "They... they said you are a disaster to the country..."

"Did they say I am the queen of the country, right?" Bao Si's face had no expression on his face, and there was a bit of self-deprecating in his words.

Bao Si held Ma Doudou and Zhiguoguo's hands, and let the brother and sister sit next to her, one on the left and one on the right.

Looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, Bao Si sighed quietly, "I am an orphan. I was adopted by the Bao couple when I was young. Later, the Bao Kingdom was destroyed by the Western Zhou Dynasty. My adoptive parents handed me over to the king to atone for sins. I was born to be unable to laugh, and I got a strange disease. Everyone here treats me as an ominous person, but the king treats me sincerely."

When Ma Doudou saw the tears in Bao Si's eyes, she couldn't help but feel sympathetic to Bao Si in front of her.

"Queen, don't be sad. Guoguo knows that the queen is a kind person. They must have misunderstood you." Zhiguoguo was thinking about her toes and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

At this moment, a servant came to report, "Report to the Queen, the beacon tower in front of me was gone, as if the people from Quanrong were coming."

Seeing that everyone in the palace was running away, Bao Si protected Ma Doudou and Zhiguo to her bedroom.

"They came for me. They had asked the king to hand me over before, but the king insisted on refusing. For me, the king lit the beacon tower and made everyone anxious, but we did not wait for a single reinforcement."

Ma Doudou held Bao Si's hand in peace, "Queen, you..."

Bao Si wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Ma Doudou, "They forced the king to light beacons to make the king lose his prestige. Only by following the Quanrong people can I return peace to the world."

However, Bao Si thought about the problem too simply.

The person who came to attack was nothing but the father of Shen Hou, the former queen of the Western Zhou Dynasty. He joined forces with the Quanrong to attack King You of Zhou.

King You of Zhou and Ji Bofu, the son born to him and Bao Si, were killed under Mount Li. Later, Bao Si was captured by Quanrong and disappeared from then on, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.

Later, Shen Hou supported his grandson, King Ping of Zhou, Ji Yijiu (jiù), ascended the throne and moved the capital from Haojing to Luoyi. From then on, the Western Zhou Dynasty ended, known in history as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

【Sesame brother and sister have something to say】

In 779 BC, King You of Zhou attacked the Bao Kingdom. The Bao Kingdom was defeated and offered Bao Si to surrender. After King You of Zhou received Bao Si, he favored her very much.

In 778 BC, Bao Si gave birth to a son Ji Bofu for King You of Zhou. King You of Zhou favored Bao Si more. He deposed the position of queen Shen and the position of crown prince Ji Yijiu, and made Bao Si the queen, and made Bao Si the son Ji Bofu the crown prince. This became the fuse for the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the seizure of power by King Ping of Zhou.

In 2012, when Tsinghua University in Beijing compiled the warring country bamboo slips (Tsinghua slips) that were given by the Tsinghua University, it was found that the description on the bamboo slips was different from the story of "Beacon Fires Playing the Princes". The Tsinghua Shop records that King You of Zhou took the initiative to attack the original Shenhou's foreign family, Shenhou, and the Marquis of Shen contacted the Rong clan to defeat King You of Zhou, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was thus destroyed. There was no story about "Beacon Fires Playing the Princes" on the Tsinghua Shop.

After all, the story of Fenghuo playing with the princes is just a playbook made up of folk art works.
