Chapter 105: The Six Secretaries of the Jin Kingdom
I didn't find a definite direction from the beginning to the end.
After going down the mountain, I just thought about going back to the Jin Kingdom, so why did I go back when the time came?
Wei Ziheng fell into deep contemplation, and now he suddenly had doubts about himself. Obviously, he has rich knowledge and strong ability, and he can discuss matters in the court and fight in the market. Like this, I don't have a clear goal, and I, as an adult man, is really a little sad.
At that time, Wei Ziheng's thoughts returned to Yue Kingdom, if he hadn't found the group of people who assassinated Gongzi Xiao'er this morning, maybe he wouldn't think like he does now. Who was behind the assassination of the ministers in the Yue court? Wei Ziheng is now starting to take this issue seriously.
At the same time, this incident also gave Wei Ziheng a wake-up call, how to find the truth of the matter without evidence and ability?
Thinking about it, it seems that this matter can only be put down, but I am not reconciled, and I am not willing to give up.
But now that he is still participating in the famous sword conference, he will delay his next competition. But if the Famous Sword Conference is over, this matter has nothing to do with me. Under such a contradiction, it is really difficult for people to choose.
I have to make the right judgment now to find something worth spending a long time on, preferably in my lifetime.
Wei Ziheng set his eyes back on the Jin Kingdom again, remembering his big family, and recalling that something had happened in the Jin Kingdom.
One of the most interesting and serious things is the Jin State Qing clan.
The Six Secretaries of the Jin State were important official positions of the generals of the three armies of the Jin State, and they were an important way to assist the Jin King in executing state power.
Many years ago, the Jin monarch established the initial three-army system, and in the Jin Wengong period, the Jin state six secretaries system was completely established. Establish three armies, each army has a general, a Zuo, in turn, the middle army general, the middle army general, the upper army general, the lower army general, the lower army Zuo, the lower army Zuo, the middle army will be the Zhengqing, the ruling Jin State, the six secretaries will enter the prime minister, in charge of the military and political affairs of the Jin State, is the earliest parliamentary minister system in the Central Plains. This political system has been admired by many countries, and they have imitated and adopted it. The clear division of power and the strength of the king's rule made this political system achieve remarkable results in the early days of its use. For the first time, the power of the courtiers can gradually grow only more things, and under this system, more faint kings can be avoided.
It was also under this system that Zhao Dun presided over the historical event of the alliance, which used to be presided over by various kings, but now it has become a courtier.
This is just one of them, and in such a political system, the power of the courtiers becomes greater than in other countries. At the same time, there were many clans in the Jin Kingdom, and he could ensure that the people above the important official positions were all virtuous.
The six kings of the Jin State adopted a hereditary system, which was mainly controlled by eleven clans, including the Hu clan, the Xian clan, the Xun clan, the Xu clan, the Luan clan, the Fan clan, the Zhongxing clan, the Zhi clan, the Han clan, the Zhao clan, and the Wei clan. In accordance with the principle of "making up for the long death", they took turns to govern, and the six kings were in the prime minister's office, and for 10 consecutive generations they were under the banner of the Jin State, "respecting the king and defending the Chinese civilization," and they were the positive source of the Chinese civilization. “
The Jin Kingdom has been a great power in the Central Plains since ancient times, supporting the Zhou royal family, which now looks crumbling. Consolidating the rule of the Chinese civilization and defeating the Hu people in the north. For the hegemony of the Jin State, except in the period of Jin Wengong, after that, the Jin State has always been in a strong state during the Jin Jinggong, Jin Pinggong, Jin Xiangong and other periods.
But just in the last few decades, because of some things, the national strength of the Jin Kingdom has continued to decline.
That is the growing strength of the Qing family, and this reason is not caused by others, but by the monarch of the Jin State himself.
This matter has to start from the period of Jin Wugong and Jin Xiangong. And these two kings were both before Duke Wen of Jin, which shows that the internal contradictions of the Jin Kingdom have been highlighted for a long time.
This thing also has a very famous name, that is, Qu Wo Dai Yi.
The Jin State was the brother of Zhou Tianzi, and has always been the humerus of the Zhou Dynasty, with a prominent status. King Zhou Ping moved eastward, Marquis Wen of Jin, Qiu, sent troops to King Qin, and the merit was in Sheji. Jin Wenhou also has a younger brother, known as Chengshi, known as Uncle Qu Wohuan in history, all born in the war, the name Qiu is indeed not as good as Chengshi, and some people predicted that there would be chaos at that time.
When Jin Muhou died, his younger brother Jin Yan Uncle briefly usurped the throne, and was seized by Jin Muhou's eldest son, Gongzi Qiu, after 35 years of reign. After the Marquis of Wen ascended the throne, there was a rebellion near Quwo at that time, and the Marquis of Jin Zhao sealed his uncle Chengshi to Quwo, which is a city larger than the capital wing, and the trouble came: Chengshi and his descendants began to compete with the Marquis of Jin for the throne of the country for decades, and the struggle was extremely complicated and cruel. In short, after 67 years of civil war, Chengshi's grandson Jin Wu Gong finally eliminated the descendants of "Qiu", and the Jin Kingdom was temporarily stable, known as "Quwo Daiyi" in history. At that time, Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai had already begun his hegemony. After the death of Duke Wu of Jin, his son Duke Jin Xian ascended the throne. During his reign, he did two major things - expanding the territory and massacring the clans.
Jin Xiangong is deceitful, perhaps it is the inertia formed by years of infighting in the Jin Kingdom. During the period of Jin martial arts, serious things had already happened to kill the royal family. After Jin Xiangong ascended the throne, even if he wanted to be merciful, it was difficult to do it - his great-grandfather Chengshi's sons, grandsons (known as Huanzhuang's clan in history) were also many, and he always wanted to kill the tricks, and Jin Xiangong was restless and unpleasant, so he used Shi's strategy to separate the sons of the group, and then spent 8 years to slaughter. The family is almost killed, and there is basically no problem, but the bloody killing inertia makes the trickster involuntarily stretch out his poisonous hand to his son. In the fifth year of Jin Xiangong, "Hua Lirong, Li Ji, Li Ji's brother (sister), all love and luck." In order to seek inheritance for her son, Li Ji went through a series of conspiracy activities of her sisters, of course, the most fundamental is the cruel nature of the treacherous, in 655 BC, the crown prince Shensheng was forced to die, Chong'er and Yiwu ran away. Li Ji also made an alliance between the deceitful Zhu and the ministers of the Jin State: they are not allowed to accept or help the sons who go out. At this point, although Wei Zhu thinks that he has completely solved the hidden danger, he is not far from death, and the things behind him are out of his control.
The practice of the deceitful Zhu had a profound impact on the future of the Jin state, and the sons of the monarch were generally not left in the country from then on, which became a kind of institution. Although this measure played a role in stabilizing the interior at that time, in the long run, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states fissioned one after another, and the Jin State was extremely thin because of the extremely thin personnel and strength of the office.
Wei Ziheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he came here, the knowledge that used to be in the books now seemed so terrifying. As I grew older, some things that I couldn't understand are now gradually emerging as truths.
The next thing is the support of the Qing family.
However, with the growth of forces with different surnames, Jin Xiangong only cleared the obstacles, and what really cultivated them was the overlord Jin Wengong. Chong'er has been in exile for nineteen years, and his henchmen include Hu Yan, Zhao Yuan, Zhu Jie, Wei Li, Xu Chen, etc., all of whom are different clans, and these people are also important objects for him to rely on in the future. Even after returning to China, most of the reused Xianzhen, Luan Zhi and others have different surnames. These people are the builders of the hegemony, and a few decades later, their next generation is maintaining the century-old hegemony of the Jin Kingdom, while also encroaching on the monarchy of the Jin Marquis, and sure enough, after a few hundred years, their descendants have become the most dangerous figures in the Jin State Temple. It can be said that since the father and son of Jin Wengong and Jin Xianggong successively became hegemonic, the national affairs of the Jin State were basically in the hands of the ministers of the different clans, and the result was that the monarch was getting weaker and weaker, and the Qing clan of the different clans was getting stronger and stronger. They are under the same roof, in order to survive, to fight for power, in order to win profits, they have launched round after round of competition. The family affection and hatred between the six Qings are intertwined, and the kindness and blood are mixed, and they jointly compose a heroic poem. The story of enmity and feud during this period was full of ups and downs, and the merger and fighting were extremely cruel, no less wonderful than the strife between various countries at that time.
It was also this reason that led to the next struggle between the Qing clans.
First, the rebellion of Fan and Zhongxing: in the sixth year of the reign of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, the six secretaries of the Jin State "leveled the chaos of the royal family and respected the king"; In the tenth year of the reign of Qing Gong, Zhao Jianzi joined the princes and entered the Zhou Jing King Yu Zhou, and faintly became the head of the Six Qings; In the twelfth year of the reign of the Emperor, Wei Xianzi led the doctors of Zhuqing to punish the Qi clan and the Yangyu clan with the law, and divided the city and weakened the office, which made the office weaker. The rise of Zhao Ying, so that Fan, Zhongxing is quite worried, Dinggong fifteen years, Zhongxing Yin (Zhongxing Wenzi), Fan Jizhu (Fan Zhaozi) led the crowd to attack Zhao Ying, and Dinggong with three families to make a rebellion, chasing Zhao Yang alone in Jinyang and attacking. Xun Song (Zhiwenzi), Han Buxin, Wei Hao and Fan and Zhongxing had a vengeance, so they sent troops to help Zhao Ying, but the Fan family and the Zhongxing family were defeated. In the twenty-first year of Dinggong, Zhao Ying drove away the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan, and obtained Handan and Bai people. "Zhao Ming Jinqing, the real monopoly of the Jin power, the princes of the city." Through this turmoil, the Zhao family became the head of the Six Qings and specialized in national politics.
This one was actually decades ago, and the second one was a few years ago.
Zhibo and Zhao Ying, Han Buxin, and Wei Hao jointly divided the territory of Fan Jishu and Zhongxingyin, and the Duke of Jin was very angry and begged the State of Qi and the State of Lu, wanting to take the opportunity to crusade against Siqing, and Siqing then counterattacked and attacked the Duke of Jin, and the Duke of Jin died on the way to flee to the State of Qi. Ji Jiao, the great-grandson of Zhibo Li Zhaogong, became the king of Jin, that is, the Duke of Jin Ai. Zhibo took the opportunity to occupy the territory of Fan Jichu and Zhongxingyin, and oversaw all the affairs of the Jin State.
The rights of the six secretaries of the Jin State were transferred from Zhao Qing to Zhiqing.
This is the current state situation in the Jin Kingdom.
Wei Ziheng, all of a sudden, had a lot of national history of the Jin Kingdom in his mind. He suddenly remembered his own identity, Wei Qing.
As one of the existing four Qing clans, Wei Qing has always been in a weak state. Once Sun Chi explained the Jin Kingdom, it seems that he also mentioned some things.
Coupled with what he saw and heard about some things in his family when he was a child, he suddenly felt that maybe this was his goal!
The struggle between the Qing clans in the Jin State was serious, and now that the Zhi clan is in power, the power of the Qing clan has begun to endanger other Qing clans.
Under such circumstances, he has the obligation and ability to stand up and help, and now the patriarch of the Wei clan is also his grandfather, Wei Hengzi, and Wei Ju.
Wei Ziheng also suddenly became enlightened for a while, and he also felt the necessity of his existence. Isn't my own enthusiasm and knowledge used to do this? In the palace of Yue Kingdom, it has been confirmed that he does have some talent in politics.
So why not put this talent to good use for your own Wei.
Wei Ziheng suddenly burst out laughing, and he was even more sure that it was a good choice for him to be in a hurry to return to the Jin Kingdom. Perhaps in the eyes of relatives in the distance, his own importance.
The six secretaries of the Jin State are constantly in dispute, and the Zhi family is now dominant, and this situation may not last long, and the remaining Han Zhaowei may be in danger. It is also the strength of the Zhi clan, and even the envoys of the Jin Kingdom sent by this famous sword conference are all from the Zhi clan.
Wei Ziheng suddenly laughed.
He felt that after reading the book for so many years, he finally seemed to have made a breakthrough. In fact, the relevant history is already known, it is just a matter of how you look at it.
Now Wei Ziheng is not confused, he has made up his mind to meet that bright future.
