Zhou Chao 's 37th monarch, and the last monarch, named Ji Yan , that is, Zhou Nan .
Later in the Warring States , with the increasing expansion of Qin , Zhou has divided into two small countries: Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou . King Nan was named Emperor and actually lived in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
During Ji Yan's reign, something like this happened: Chu State wanted to suppress the expansion of Qin's power, and asked Ji Yan to order all countries to work together to attack Qin in the name of the emperor. Ji Yan was overjoyed and ordered the Duke of Western Zhou to sign an army of five or six thousand people, appointed Duke of Western Zhou as a general, led 5,000 troops to attack Qin, and asked the princes of the six kingdoms to join Yique to attack them together.
Unexpectedly, except for Chu and Yan, the troops of the other four countries were unable to come. The total strength of the troops in Yique was only tens of thousands, which was far from the opponent of hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers. As a result, after waiting for three months, the troops from the other four countries still did not arrive, and their morale was dispersed. The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty had to return with his own troops without success.
The Qin army refused to give up, captured Yangcheng and Fushu in Korea , and rushed straight to the royal city of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Duke of Western Zhou went to apologize.
After this battle, the Qin State became more and more powerful, and the Zhou Emperor was completely wiped out.
In the fifty-ninth year of King Nan of Zhou (256 BC), Qin tied the King of Western Zhou to a pillar and paraded the streets and demoted him to a civilian. This incident stimulated King Nan of Zhou very much, and soon he ended in anger. The Qin State collected Jiuding and other treasures, and did not establish a new king, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed at this point.
We all know that Qin Shihuang Unified the six kingdoms in 221 BC, and was the thirty-five years after the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the death of the last Zhou emperor.
That is to say, before the Qin unification, the Zhou Dynasty had perished and the Zhou emperor was dead. What else should I talk about the issue of "the treatment of the Zhou emperor after the unification"?
