Chapter 264: Bo Yi ???

It's not surprising that it's still the ones who are shaking, and a calligrapher doesn't know what the effect will be, and as for the record of merit, there's nothing to say, and the normal army has it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The first military general in the previous dynasty, the eldest son of King Ji Changchang of Zhou Wen, and the elder brother of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu - 75 in command, 66 in force, 82 in intelligence, and 80 in politics."

Although Bo Yi Kao is a romance character, he also has a historical archetype.

"Historical Records, Thirty Families, Guan Cai Family" records: King Wu has ten brothers of the same mother. The mother is called Taiji, and the princess of King Wen is also. His eldest son is called Bo Yi Kao, then Wu Wang Fa, second Guan Shuxian, second Zhou Gongdan, second Cai Shudu, second Cao Shu Zhenduo, second Cheng Shuwu, second Huo Shuchu, second Kang Shufeng, and second Ji Zai. Least in the season. There are ten Kundi of the same mother, only Fa, Danxian, left and right auxiliary Wen Wang, so Wen Wang Sheboyi took the test and took Fa as the prince. and King Wen collapsed and was established, which was for the king of martial arts. Bo Yi Kao has already died.

King Wen of Zhou was thirteen years old, and his eldest son, Bo Yi Kao, was born. At the age of fifteen, the second son, King Wu of Zhou, was born.

The ten brothers of Bo Yi Kao have been deeply taught by their mother since they were young, so they have never done anything contrary to common sense or absurdity since they were young. Among the ten brothers of Boyi Kao, only King Wu of Zhou and Duke Dan of Zhou were highly virtuous and were the right-hand men who assisted King Wen of Zhou, so King Wen of Zhou abandoned Boyi Kao and established King Wu of Zhou as his heir.

The historical records say that Ji Fa Ji Dan is capable, so he ascended to the throne, but the death of Guan Yu Boyi is inconclusive.

It is said that after King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by King Zhou, Bo Yi was taken hostage in Yin Shang and drove for King Zhou. The king of Zhou cooked and killed Bo Yi Kao and gave him a meat soup to King Wen of Zhou, saying, "The saint should not eat the meat soup made by his son." King Wen of Zhou finally ate the meat soup. The king said, "Who said that Xi Bochang was a saint? I ate the meat soup made by my son and didn't know it. "Another said that King Wen of Zhou abandoned Boyi and established his second son, King Wu of Zhou, as the crown prince. Wang Guowei and others believed that King Wen of Zhou abandoned Boyi Kao and Boyi Kao's son and appointed King Wu of Zhou as the crown prince, which was in accordance with Yin etiquette. Liang Yusheng believed that Bo Yi Kao died early, not that King Wen of Zhou abolished the crown prince.

"The second military general in the former dynasty, one of the main leaders of Tang Ge Xia Ming, an outstanding politician and military strategist, Zuo Xiang Zhongyu - 90 commanders, 63 in force, 95 in intelligence, and 100 in politics."

Zhong Yu, surnamed Ren, also known as Lai Zhu, also known as Zhonglei, is the twelfth grandson of Xi Zhong, another outstanding monarch of Xue after Xi Zhong, and a famous minister in the Shang Tang period. He assisted Cheng Tang to destroy Xia, established the Shang Dynasty, and became a generation of famous ministers. It is said that when he was born, the thunder was loud, the lightning was like a snake, and the heavy rain poured, which relieved the drought in his hometown for many years. In ancient times, the sound of thunder was described as "虺虺", and at the same time, 虺 was also a synonym for snakes, because when it rained, lightning was like long snakes flying, so his father named his son "虺" and tattooed him with a red snake. Because he is the second in line, he is called Ren Zhongyu.

At the age of 24, Zhong Yu succeeded Xue as monarch, and he was a man of great talent and political foresight. During his stay in Xue, he carried forward the fine traditions of his ancestors, led the people of Xuedi, focused on improving production tools, and called on various villages to dig wells for water in low-lying areas and develop agriculture. He also advocated for people to raise livestock and vigorously develop animal husbandry. He set up agricultural officials and taught the people to raise livestock from the straw of crops and use the manure of livestock as fertilizer to improve the fertility of the land. Zhongyu also attached great importance to the development of the handicraft industry. At that time, the copper manufacturing industry, handicraft manufacturing, leather, winemaking, silkworm raising, silk weaving, etc., all developed to a certain scale. Under the leadership of Zhong Yu, Xue became a vassal state with a relatively developed economy and relatively strong strength. At this time, the Xia Dynasty was already in decline, and everyone rebelled and left. Zhong Yu was far-sighted and gladly joined the ranks of Shang Tang to destroy the summer, and achieved a great cause.

He and Yi Yin are the left and right phases of Shang Tang, and assist Shang Tang to complete the great cause. "Zuo Chuan: The First Year of Dinggong" recorded: "Xi Zhong, the ancestor of the Emperor of Xue, lived in Xue, thinking that Xia Chezheng was and Xi Zhong moved to Pi. Zhong Yu Ju Xue, thinking that Tang Zuoxiang". It can be known that after Zhong Yu is Xi Zhong, the left phase of Shang Tang lives in Xue.

While the power of the country was expanding day by day, the rule of the Xia Dynasty was facing internal and external difficulties, and it was difficult to maintain the situation. Cheng Tang thought that the time was ripe to defeat Xia Ji, so he actively carried out preparations to destroy Xia. He first built his own base and expanded it into Boyi on the basis of the old Shangqiu as the new capital. At the same time, he appointed Zhong Yu as the left minister and Yi Yin as the prime minister, and tried his best to win the submission of many small nearby countries and further strengthen his political and military power.

Zhong Yu advocated that Xia should first get rid of Xia's wings, make Xia Ji isolated, and then march into the Xia capital to achieve a great cause. According to the established policy, Shang Tang successively destroyed Ge, Wei, Gu, Kunwu and other countries, launched a large-scale attack on the Xia Dynasty, and successively destroyed Wei, Gu, Kunwu and other countries, and won one victory after another. Destroy the summer in the soup and return to Boyi. All the candidates came to congratulate and show their submission. Cheng Tang then formally established the Shang Dynasty in Jingbo (present-day Cao County, Shandong Province).

After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the remnants of the Xia Dynasty were still relatively strong, and there were many factors of social instability. Tang himself also deeply felt that he used his subordinates to conquer the king and seized the world by force, and he was afraid that someone would follow his example and commit rebellion in the future. In order to reduce the resistance to the development of the Shang Dynasty, calm the hearts of the people to maintain the stability of social order, and maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Shang Dynasty, he issued an edict to the world with the famous "Zhong Yu's Edict". In the edict, Zhong Yu pointed out the main reasons for Xia Wei's corrupt life and the fall of the Xia Dynasty, and briefly described the main reasons for Shang Tang's excellent character and success, established the policy of the Shang Dynasty, and pointed out the direction for the future development of the Shang Dynasty. At the same time, he also earnestly admonished Tang and his descendants how to stand, govern, and employ people, which had a far-reaching impact on the Shang Dynasty.

Cheng Tang carefully adopted Zhong Yu's opinion and paid great attention to the lessons of the fall of the Xia Dynasty, "Yin Jian is not far away, in the world after Xia." "As a result of Cheng Tang's meritocracy, the Shang Dynasty was strong. And the historical exploits of virtuous ministers such as Zhong Yu and Yi Yin have also been passed down through the ages.

"The third military general in the former dynasty, the minister of Xia Yushi, and the son of Gaotao, Boyi - 76 commanders, 88 forces, 85 intelligence, and 92 politics."

Boyi, a Bo Peng, Bai Yi, also known as Da Fei, the son of Gao Tao, surnamed Ying. He is the ancestor of the Liang, Xu, Huang, Jiang, Zhao, Ma, Ge, Pei and Qin royal families, and is the fifth grandson of the Yellow Emperor.

According to legend, Yu was going to pass the throne to Gaotao according to the Zen concession system, but Gaotao died early, so he decided to pass it on to Gaotao Zi Boyi. Yuzi enlightens the hearts of the people, "Yuzi Qixian, the will of the heavens." And Yu collapsed, although the benefits, the benefits of Zuo Yu are shallow, and the world has not been negotiated. Therefore, the princes all went to benefit and started the court, saying: "The son of my emperor Yu is also"; and three years of mourning, Bo Yi then let Yu Qi, "three years of mourning, let the son of Emperor Yu Qi, and live in the sun of Jishan"; Qi Sui is the position of the Son of Heaven, "So Qi Sui is the position of the Son of Heaven, which is for the Emperor of Xia. “

Of course, this kind of glorious and righteous thing can only be said to be a beautiful fantasy of the sons, and it is just a respect for the morality of the ancient sages, which should not be true.

Regarding the affairs of Boyi and Xia Qijian, although there is also a saying that "it is beneficial to the position and kills" ("Guben Zhushu Chronicle Revision and Supplement"), "Warring States Policy: Yan Ce I") and < Han Feizi> both record that Xia Qi and his friends attacked Boyi and finally killed Boyi. "Warring States Policy: Yan Ce I" said: "Yu confers benefits and takes Qi as an official." and old, and to enlighten for the world is not enough, the benefit of passing on. Enlighten and win the world with friendly parties. < Chuci Tianwen> also said: "After the enlightenment of the generations, he suddenly left the sin, how can he be worried and be able to detain it?" All return to the bow and bow harmlessly, why will it be beneficial to reform and sow down? This passage is obscure, and this translation from Guo Moruo's "Qu Yuanfu Translation" is specially recorded: "Xia Qi replaced Boyi as the king, and finally killed Boyi, from the frustrated situation, why was Qi able to turn into pride?" did not carry out the conquest, and received the same Zen concession, why did Boyi fail and Xia Yu prosperous? ”

Basically, the perception of Zen Jean as part of the political struggle is basically a conclusive view. Even the replacement between Yao Shunyu is not considered to be Zen, let alone here?

Bo Yi Zuoyu was very successful in controlling the water, and was appreciated by Di Shun, and won the honor of marrying with Di Shun, and his political status was greatly improved. After Yu succeeded Shun as the leader of the tribal alliance, he recommended Boyi's father Gaotao as his heir, but Gaotao died before he could accept the government. "Historical Records: Xia Benji" contains Yu's "benefit, Ren Zhizheng". < Mozi Shangxian >: "Yu moves to benefit the yin side, and the government of granting is the success of Kyushu." ”

However, at this time, because Yu owned the land of Kyushu in the world, he already had the prestige of the kings of later generations, and it was no longer the situation of clan cooperation when the tribal alliance was formed, and Yu began to devote himself to cultivating the power of his family. On the one hand, he admired Boyi's meritocracy and said that he wanted to pass on the world to Boyi, but on the other hand, he paid attention to the special selection of his son Qi's subordinates to serve as officials at all levels. As a result, Bo Yi has the false name of the heir of Dayu, "and the power is all in Qi Ye", one saying is that after Yu died, Qi will "attack the world with friends" and kill Yi. It is also recorded that Yi lived in seclusion in the Yin of Keiyama in order to enlighten him. In any case, Boyi has since disappeared from the stage of history.

I won't talk much about the conspiracy and trickery in this, but directly talk about Boyi's ability performance.

<Chinese Zheng Yu said on the > that Boyi can discuss all kinds of things, and he will be able to help Emperor Shun. Boyi comes from the Dongyi Shaohao Bird Clan, so legend has it that he can know the words of birds and beasts, and can talk to birds. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Cai" cloud: "Bo Yi is in the language of birds. This is what it means, which is the same as the meaning of Boyi's "Zuo Shun tames birds and beasts, and birds and beasts are tamed" in China's earliest historical book "Shangshu", so Shun once appointed him as an official. According to another record in Mencius Tengwen Gongshang, Shun sent Boyi to serve as a fire officer, and Boyi burned the mountains with fire, forcing the beasts to flee, so that the people who lived a life of animal husbandry and migration lived a life of peace and prosperity. Later generations revered him as the god who blessed people from being harmed by fierce beasts - "General of Hundred Insects", and built temples to worship him.

Out of trust and respect for Boyi, Shun married his beautiful little daughter Yao to him, and named Boyi Fei, so Boyi is also called Da Fei. Or called Fei Hou.

Boyi's most outstanding contribution is Zuo Yu's peaceful control of water and soil, which can be seen in the > of the < Historical Records< Xia Benji >, < Qin Benji > and so on. Boyi has not only made great achievements in water control, but also made other contributions in the process of water control.

First, in the flood-stricken areas, Boyi taught the people to grow rice according to the characteristics of the low-lying terrain, which promoted the development of agriculture. Therefore, when Yu pacified the flood, Emperor Shun rewarded Boyi with soap, and also promised the daughter of his family to Boyi. Since then, Boyi has served as a Yu official under Shun, in charge of the mountains and rivers, breeding birds and beasts. The descendants of Boyi, including Fei Chang, Zhong Yan, Zaopa, and Virgin Father, were founded in the world as long as they were good at training birds and beasts.

Second, legend has it that Boyi invented the technique of sinking wells. "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: Don't Bow Chapter": "Boyi is a well. This is probably not unrelated to his Zuo Yu's water control, after all, in the process of dealing with water and soil for a long time, it is easy to discover the secrets of groundwater. Contemporary archaeological excavations have proved that the appearance of wells in China is appropriate to the Longshan period, which is not far from the Yaoshun period, and it can be seen that the legend has its basis. The invention of the sinking technique was of great significance, as people had to settle close to the river and endure the threat of flooding. After the invention of well sinking technology, the vast plain area of ancient northern China was gradually flooded with various clans and developed.

Third, Boyi's participation in the Pingzhi flood also promoted the development of his clan. According to research, the "Qi clan" in the Xia and Shang periods was the Boyi clan, and the origin of his clan was closely related to water control.

Boyi is also very accomplished in politics. He once warned Dayu that everything should be forward-looking and thoughtful. Don't go against the laws and systems, don't overdo the pleasure and enjoyment, don't go against the laws to pursue the reputation of the people, and don't go against the will of the people to satisfy your own desires. We must not be slack in governing the country, we must not waste political affairs, modesty will be beneficial, complacency can lead to failure, we must select the virtuous and appoint, eliminate the evil and eliminate the evil.

In dealing with ethnic contradictions, Boyi also showed foresight. Shun, the three Miao people centrifuged away from Germany, Shun sent Dayu to conquer by force, the three Miao did not accept, Boyi proposed, to be both graceful and powerful, and the German and military forces were combined. Dayu accepted Boyi's suggestion, withdrew the army, implemented the rule of culture, education and morality, and the three Miao people were reformed and finally surrendered. Boyi will also follow Dayu to follow the history of the geographical mountains, trees, birds and beasts, strange customs, anecdotes recorded down, become the material of the < of the Classic of Mountains and Seas > (suspected of being a name, but the Classic of Mountains and Seas is also recognized as a co-author of several generations, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas was not completed by the same people in the same era. )。
