The queen's son Ji Yijiu was proclaimed the new king by the nobles from the states of Zheng, Lü, Qin and the Marquess of Shen.
This discrepancy is due to the fact that the last Zhou king's reign ended in 256, 35 years before the beginning of the Qin dynasty which ended the Warring States period.

 Eastern Zhou Period

Before long, after King Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, he expedited his project of annexation and finally in 221 BC united China and established a unified, multi-national, autocratic and power-centralized state, putting an end to the Warring States Period.

 Zhou Dynasty - China History - China
The Zhou Dynasty (周朝; Wade-Giles: Chou Dynasty) (late 10th century BC to late 9th century - 256 BC) followed the Shang Dynasty and preceded the Qin Dynasty in China.
In the Chinese historical tradition, the rulers of the Zhou displaced the Shang and legitimized their rule by invoking the mandate of heaven.
Because of this shift, historians divide the Zhou era into Western Zhou (西周, pinyin Xî Zhôu) from late 10th century BC to late 9th century up until 771 BC and Eastern Zhou (traditional Chinese character: 東周simplified Chinese character: 东周, pinyin Dông Zhôu) from 770 up to 221 BC.

The Japanese Samurai code of bushido for example means 'way of the warrior' – in Chinese bushido is wushi dao, a 'wushi' these days being a person good at martial arts (wu as in King Wu, the martial king, and shi as in 'army', the tag of hexagram 7).
What the Mandate is, beyond the power by which kings and emperors of China ruled, is harder to say, but it can be understood by (revealed to) the individual experientially after long study and practice of the Book of Changes.

 WSWG 17 | Constance Cook: The Creation of the Way(s) of the Former Kings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Until recently, scholars understood the identity of the Former Kings as represented by Western Zhou period bronze inscriptions to be limited to the Zhou kings, primarily Kings Wen and Wu.
They, like this "Western Zhou" inscription, were dedicated by a gong (this place was not an emerging state power, but a small Zhou locality) and made no mention of former Zhou kings.
Here the dao was a path to an enlightened state of "harmony" (a word that originally described the music of chime bells), an acceptable state of being for the Daoist cultivation of natural forces-but the method is through a Zhou style of walking or practice.

 Week 2
The Zhou house claimed the most powerful ancestral spirits with whom only the royal family could communicate through sacrifice, divination, and other religious practices.
Rather, they believed that the true meaning of concepts such as "the Way" (dao), virtue (de), ritual (li), and Heaven (tian) had been lost and attempted to recover their original, true meaning.
In two balanced halves, it juxtaposes an outline of the first seven Western Zhou kings with a similar genealogy of four generations of the Wei family.

Certainly I have found that there is some kind of seemingly sensible pattern that emerges in contemplation of the animation, and it occurs to me that insights into the mystery of the King Wen sequence might be forthcoming in this manner.
This very pattern that was created was both unexpected and fascinating (reminiscent of thin-layer chromatography plates), as can be seen by examining the gif in animation software.
