King Zhou came forward to play a round at this time: "Now that the winner has been decided, don't make another incident, the knife and gun have no eyes, and it is not good to hurt anyone." The widow announced: The Qi State won the competition, and the King of Qi was the leader of the alliance of the princes. ”

Even if the kings are not convinced now, there is no way, it is impossible to use knives and guns for the sake of an alliance leader who has no real power.

The king of Wei and the king of Chu both believed that the alliance leader was a nominal thing, and if something happened in the future, all countries still had to speak with strength.

How do you know that Ji Qiao said: "King Zhou, no, the three kingdoms of Wei Chuqi each win a game, and each other wins and loses, so it should be considered a draw." Zhou Wanggui is the Son of Heaven and should benefit the people of the world! All matters should also be decided by King Zhou, and the position of the leader of the alliance should not be set up. ”

The kings thought that this was the best, the king of Zhou was still the king of Zhou, the leader of the alliance was gone, and the problem of face was solved. They all boasted, "This is a very good proposal!" ”

For the king of Chu, although the alliance leader did not get it, at least it was clear that Wei and Qi were not dealing with each other, and the king of Qi was still facing him.

King Wei's mood was different, Qi Guo targeted Wei State everywhere, and deliberately embarrassed himself, but he finally saw what kind of character Ji Qiao was!

At this time, the king of Zhou said happily: "Okay, since all the kings have agreed not to set up an alliance leader, this matter will be stopped." ”

In this way, the whole meeting ended, but everyone was about to disperse.

But the king of Zhou said, "The widow has prepared a feast, and the kings will finish their meals before leaving." ”

The kings nodded in agreement, and each brought a few ministers with them, and some guards to stand behind them.

Ji Qiao and Xuanwu Hou were both taken over by King Qi.

However, Ji Qiao found that it was nothing, just everyone drank and had fun together, and then there were some singing and dancing.

Ji Qiao took a closer look, these dancing girls didn't look very good, so they looked listless.

However, the psychology is thinking: at this time, people no longer have the concept of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou royal family has little use value, even if anyone wants to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it will not be able to gather people's hearts at all, and it will attract siege from other countries.

The banquet officially began, and King Zhou raised the bottle and said: "Everyone drink happily, and the widow respects everyone first." ”

Then, the kings made a courtesy toast to King Zhou, and Ji Qiao was not a king, so he didn't bother to salute.

After drinking a good meeting, King Wei suddenly proposed: "King Zhou, it's not interesting to just drink, it's better to discuss poems and songs to help drink." ”

King Wei knew that Ji Qiao's writing was good, but he still wanted to see it with his own eyes.

King Zhou immediately responded: "Okay, with the titles of "Zhou Guan" and "Three Hundred Poems", everyone here will speak freely. ”

Wang Xindao: What is there to study in "Zhou Guan"? It's not poetry and songs, doesn't it just want us to follow the etiquette system and support you King Zhou.

"Zhou Guan" is "Zhou Li", which was called "Zhou Guan" at that time. It is a work that expresses the plan of governing the country through the bureaucratic system, and the content is extremely rich, touching on all aspects of social life at that time.

The system of recorded rituals is the most systematic, including national ceremonies such as sacrifices, pilgrimages, feudal countries, hunting patrols, and funerals; There are also specific specifications such as the tripod system, the music suspension system, the car riding system, the clothing system, and the etiquette system; There are also records of the grades, combinations, shapes, and degrees of various ritual vessels.

"Three Hundred Poems" is the "Book of Songs", which is an image reflection of the social life of the Zhou Dynasty during its 500 years from prosperity to decline. Among them, there are odes to the founding of the ancestors, and the music of sacrificing gods and ghosts; There are also banquets and drinks between nobles, and resentment of uneven work and rest; There are also moving chapters that reflect labor, hunting, and a lot of love, marriage, and social customs.

The Book of Songs is divided into three parts: Wind, Ya and Song.

"Wind" comes from folk songs from all over the world, and is the essence of the "Book of Songs", which includes the chanting of beautiful things such as love and labor, as well as the grievances and anger of nostalgia for the homeland, thinking of people, and anti-oppression and anti-bullying.

"Ya" is divided into "Da Ya" and "Xiao Ya", most of which are poems of aristocratic sacrifices, praying for a good year and praising ancestors. The author of "Daya" was an aristocratic literati, but he was dissatisfied with realpolitik, and in addition to banquet songs, sacrificial songs, and epic poems, he also wrote some satirical poems that reflected the wishes of the people. There are also some folk songs in "Xiaoya".

"Ode" is a poem of the temple sacrifice.

In the above three parts, there are 40 articles in "Ode", 105 articles in "Ya", and the largest number of "Wind", with a total of 160 articles, a total of 305 articles (6 articles with eyes and no poems, not counted).

......

King Zhou proposed this, which means: You princes and kings have done many things that are seriously inconsistent with the "Zhou Officials", and you must pay attention to proportions and abide by the etiquette system.

Prince Zhou still had resentment against Ji Qiao in his heart, and wanted to compete with him, so he was the first to speak: "Young Master Qiao, I heard that you are very good at writing, I don't know if you know "Zhou Guan"? ”

Ji Qiao thought to herself: Whether you test me or deliberately guide me to discuss this topic, you won't answer. So he refused: "I don't have any talent in the next place, I can't remember clearly." ”

Prince Zhou was immediately proud, and he opened his mouth to come: "The main contents of "Zhou Guan" are: "Tianguan Dazai" and "Tianguan Xiaozai".

"Heavenly Officials: Dazai" is called the six canons:

One is called the rule of law, to govern the country, to govern the government, to discipline the people;

The second is the canon, to secure the country, to the instructor's office, to disturb the people;

The three are called rituals, to harmonize the country, to unify hundreds of officials, and to harmonize all the people;

Fourth, the political code is to level the country, to be a hundred officials, and to average the people;

The five are called the criminal code, to punish the country, to punish hundreds of officials, and to correct the people;

Sixth, it is said that the country is rich, and the officials are appointed to live for all people.

"Tianguan Xiaozai" is called the six genera:

One is called the heavenly official, who belongs to sixty, and is in charge of the state;

the second is called the local official, who belongs to sixty, and is in charge of the state religion;

The three are called spring officials, who belong to sixty, and are in charge of the state ceremony;

Fourth, Xia Guan, who belongs to sixty, is in charge of state politics;

Five autumn officials, who belong to sixty, are in charge of state punishment;

Six are called winter officials, who belong to sixty, and are in charge of state affairs; ”

.......

After Prince Zhou finished reciting, he took the opportunity to ask, "Young Master Qiao, do you want to tell us whether we should abide by it?" ”

Ji Qiao was very embarrassed, saying that he would offend the king of Zhou if he did not obey, and he would offend the kings of various countries if he obeyed.

After thinking about it, he replied: "Zhou Guan" was made by Zhou Gongdan, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, and it has lasted for hundreds of years, so it should be observed!" All countries should also coexist peacefully, with the Zhou royal family as the center! ”

King Zhou kept nodding after hearing this.

But the kings of the nations were silent.

However, Ji Qiao put forward a negative view:

"While it should be complied with, some of it is no longer in line with reality. Zhou Gongdan formulated "Zhou Guan" at the time when King Wu was conquering and the world was unified. In today's situation, who is called to comply? Could it be that if the kings read all the "Zhou Officials", they would immediately be educated and descend to the Zhou Dynasty? ”

King Zhou's face immediately became ugly!

The other kings kept nodding their heads.

However, King Wei suddenly said very unkindly: "According to the intention of Prince Qiao, it is the Qi State that does not want to comply!" ”

Ji Qiao shot back directly: "Wei Guo has long since disobeyed!" Take Wu up and say: Scattered all the wealth and thousands of dollars to seek the official but did not get it; was ridiculed and slandered by the villagers, killed him in anger, and killed more than 30 people; The mother died but did not go home to mourn and keep filial piety; In order to win the trust of King Lu, he married his wife with a sword.

Wu Qi's practice, which one does not seriously violate Zhou etiquette! However, all countries dare not use Wu Qi, but you Wei State can reuse it. ”
