Chapter 1: King Ping's Migration to the East (1)
One
Speaking of King Zhou Ping's eastward advance, the Zhou royal family's eastward migration should start with his father, King Zhou You.
In 1050 B.C., King Wen of Zhou created the world of the Zhou family, and King Wu of Zhou overthrew Shang and officially established the Zhou royal family. After several ups and downs in the world, by 781 BC, King You of Zhou was already the twelve monarchs of the Zhou royal family, and Zhou Tianzi had lasted 269 years.
The reign of King Ji Gongyan of Zhou was 781 BC - 771 BC, Ji surname, name Gong Yu (pronounced shēng, 一作宫生), the son of Ji Jing, King Xuan of Zhou, the maternal queen of Qi, the twelfth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty, reigned from 781 BC to 771 BC. Ji Gongyan succeeded to the throne as the king of Zhou You. He reigned for 11 years and was only 24 years old when he was killed.
In 781 B.C., this year, King Xuan was seriously ill, and at this time, Zhong Shanfu had passed away. King Xuan, who was in the sickbed, knew that his days were short, so he recruited Yin Jifu and summoned the tiger to support Gu. The death of a person is also mourned, and King Xuan, who is lying in bed, is thin and withered, and his speech is weak. I relied on the power of Zhuqing to reign for 46 years, the southern and northern wars, and now it is considered peaceful in the four seas, but this disease is difficult to recover, and the Taigong is still young and immature. The two ministers kowtowed. At this time, Taishi Boyang's father was waiting outside, waiting for the two to come out, and the three of them talked about the dream of King Xuan the day before yesterday, and they were afraid that something would happen.
On the day of the Tai Festival, King Xuan scrupulously adhered to the fasting room, and suddenly fell into a dream, in which he was worshipping in the Tai Temple, only to see a beautiful woman floating in. King Xuan scolded loudly, the beauty was not afraid at all, King Xuan ordered to take it left and right, but no one answered, only to see the woman walk into the temple and cry
Three laughs and three times, and then unhurriedly tied the ancestors of the Taimiao into a bundle of Xiezhidong.
While the three of them were figuring out, they came to report that the king was dying, so the minister of civil and military affairs insisted on refusing to go home day and night, and the imperial doctor was busy working before and after, and did not dare to slack off. At night, King Xuan died. Queen Xuan is a native of Qi Jiang, who was grief-stricken at the moment, and ordered the old ministers Yin Jifu and Zhaohu to lead hundreds of officials to support the Tai Gong to mourn. Youwang is located in front of King Xuan's spirit. and set up the daughter of Shen Bo as the queen, and set up the son Yijiu as the prince. Shen Bo was also promoted as a candidate. Soon Jiang also died. In the process of taking care of the funeral, the ministers did not see any sadness from King You. The king of Youwang is violent and unkind, and his movements are impermanent, as if he is still in his childhood, and he is still drunk and drunk when he is mourning, and he is a palace maid. The ministers saw it in their eyes and couldn't help but worry about the government. Youwang is jealous of the advice of the old ministers, and sometimes pays attention to it. It's just that soon the old ministers Yin Jifu and Zhaohu died one after another. Youwang also used Yu Gong, Cai Gong and Yin Qiu, the son of Yin Jifu, to assist the three dukes, because these three dukes are carried by Youwang, so they obey Youwang's orders. It is also the sycophancy of the king who is optimistic about them, and only what the king wants. So Youwang began his unscrupulous, obsessive life of drinking. He is not very attentive to the government.
One day, the Sanchuan guards galloped to report that there was a major earthquake in the three rivers of Qing, He, and Luo, and the people were in misery. Youwang smiled. It is said that landslides and earth cracks are common things in the world, so why bother to report it. Then he waved his hand and retreated from the court, and went back to the palace and the harem.
Taishi Boyang's father was worried, he knew that the landslide brought about the secondary disaster of the river damming would be more severe, and now the house collapsed and then the waterway blocked by the dam will discharge the flood, and a series of disasters are coming. So he privately discussed with the upright scholar Uncle Zhao.
Taishi Boyang's father said: Sanchuan originates in Qishan, the harm caused by the earthquake can not be underestimated, in the past I heard that the Yiluo River dried up and the Xia Dynasty perished, and the Yellow River dried up and the Shang Dynasty perished. Now the three rivers are in the earthquake, the three rivers are in danger of being dammed, and Qishan is the auspicious place where King Wen of the former Zhou Dynasty made his career, the people there are suffering, how can the rivers and mountains of the Western Zhou Dynasty be peaceful.
Uncle Zhao was deeply touched, and said worriedly: The Son of Heaven disdains the government and appoints the traitorous ministers, who only know how to be sycophant, and cannot induce them to be thoughtful and diligent in the government and ignore the suffering of the people. I will definitely face it and admonish the king.
Boyang's father said: I'm afraid it's useless to say it.
The discussion between the two was reported to Duke Yu by someone who heard it, and Duke Yu was afraid that Uncle Zhao would say that King You said that he was a traitorous minister, so he hurriedly reported to King You, and said that Boyang's father and Uncle Zhao said in vain that the national government had framed the king, and King Youwang had become prejudiced against Boyang's father and Uncle Zhao, and Uncle Zhao was prevented from going out of the door every time Uncle Zhao asked to see the king, and he was angry all day long.
After a few days, the Qishan guards came back to report that the three rivers had dried up, and the Qishan Mountains had collapsed again, and the dam was high and dangerous.
The king of Youwang doesn't care about it, but he just looks for beautiful women to have fun.
Uncle Zhao finally found an opportunity to advise the king of Youyou because of the danger of Qishan, and told his inner worries: the landslide and the river are exhausted, which is a sign of the unknown country, and Qishan is the birthplace of the Zhou family, and it cannot be ignored.
King Zhou You's face showed anger, and his angry eyes pressed at Uncle Zhao, as if this Uncle Zhao was discrediting himself.
Yu Gong hurriedly came out of the round and said, "Now the capital of the country is in Fengqi, Qishan is an abandoned place, Qishan is in crisis again, Fengqi is still peaceful and abundant, indicating that the Zhou family will live forever." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Uncle Zhao and said softly: "Why take the opportunity to endanger the government and sensationalize. "Don't mind these slanders, my lord.
King Yu nodded in affirmation of Duke Yu's words. The anger subsided slightly. King Zhou You seemed to forgive Uncle Zhao and said: "You don't have to use these slanderous rumors to crisis the government in the future, otherwise the widow will not spare you!" ”
After hearing this, Uncle Zhao was full of anger and it was difficult to express it, and when he saw that Gong Yu was squeezing his eyebrows vigorously, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and leave the palace angrily.
Uncle Zhao refused to accept the advice, full of suspicions, and thought: Zhou's family is difficult to protect, and the country is in crisis. The ancients said that the dangerous gang could not enter, and the chaotic gang could not live, so why should I sit back and watch the destruction of the Zhou family, so I took my family to the Jin Kingdom. became the ancestor of the Zhao family, the doctor of the Jin Dynasty, and left behind Zhao Yuan, Zhao Dun and other descendants, creating the later Zhao family and other three Jin worlds, of course, this is a later story.
However, there are also doctors in the court who are not flattering, and Bao Jue is one of them. Seeing Uncle Zhao's reaction, the situation is important, if the waterway cannot be dredged in time, the people will inevitably encounter disaster. After being Dayu, the Bao Jue family has always known how to control the water, so he advised King Zhou You to dredge the Qishan Waterway to avoid landslides and the people from suffering. Because Bao Jue was outspoken, he finally caused the anger of the Youwang to not only be exempted from the post of doctor of Bao Jue, but also put Bao Jue in prison.
In this way, the loyal ministers bluntly said that they were suppressed, and they were surrounded by people who welcomed them, and King Zhou You ignored the government and politics even more, and did not care about the people's feelings. As important ministers in the country, Duke Yu and others do not take state affairs as their own responsibility, and they live very freely. Relying on the flamboyant flamboyant tongue, he coaxes King Zhou You every day. Every time he goes to court, it is nothing more than coaxing King Youwang to be happy.
However, don't look at the Youwang ignoring the government, but he is very interested in crusading against the surrounding small countries that do not provide for them. The feeling of being on top of the army, thousands of troops and horses, and punishing his princes made him find the prestige of being a king. From time to time, he ceremoniously led troops to rebel. And this move often takes effect, most of the princes saw the arrival of the Zhou king's soldiers, and they held many unfortunate things such as not paying offerings, and there were other vassal states involved, they immediately went out of the city to surrender, knelt down and begged for peace, did not pay tribute, and the guilty atonement with gold and silver silk, and wanted to entertain the king. In this way, the royal spirit and majesty of the King of Darkness were also brought out. King You of Zhou imprisoned Bao Jue and asked if Bao Guo paid tribute. Duke Yu knew what King Zhou You was thinking, so he stepped forward and said: "Regardless of whether the Bao State is a tribute or not, just because of Bao Jue's great rebellion, his Bao State should be crusaded. So King Zhou You gathered the army of princes and went straight to the south of the Qinling Mountains, and he wanted to crusade against the Bao Kingdom.
The country of Bao in the south of the Qinling Mountains has a long history. When Dayu ruled the water, there was a son who had been silently following him, Zuoli Dayu to control the water, tirelessly, hard work, after more than ten years, finally completed the cause of Dayu to control the flood, to save the descendants of China in dire straits. When Dayu was called the emperor, he divided this hard-working son Bao in the rich land south of the Qinling Mountains. The vassal kingdom was established. Enjoy the country for a long time, after the Xia, Shang, and Wednesday dynasties, to the period of King Zhou You, the monarch of the country is the doctor of King Zhou You. Since Bao Jue was a doctor in the court, the affairs of Bao Guo were completely handed over to his son Hongde.
Guarding in Baoguo, Hongde learned that King You of Zhou led a large army to crusade and hurriedly recruited left and right to discuss, and some ministers came up with the idea that King You likes beautiful women, why not dedicate the famous beauty of Baoguo to the king, so as not to destroy the country. Some ministers said that the king of Youwang came forward to crusade against the treasures and would not stop. Hong De selected the best treasures in the treasury of Baoguo in advance, and selected the beautiful woman Baoxi, and went out of the city to wait for the army of King Zhou You. When King Zhou You sounded the drum and declared war, the country of Bao Xi surrendered in Kaicheng, and launched the beauty of Bao Xi to send to the king, and a group of people came to kneel and beg for peace. The anger of the king of you turned into nothing, just because the girl was as beautiful as a fairy, and it was moving, so that the king fell in love at first sight. So the king of Youwang took the beautiful women and collected the troops.
