Chuzhuang

--- a bear from the south

Sitting alone and waiting for the power to be delivered is the most boring thing.

In the first twenty or thirty minutes, there may be a few more words, but at most it will last for so long, that everyone will get bored and settle down.

Thanks to modern technology, a small screen can provide a game that can be played for a long time, but after a long time, it is still a headache.

The wind outside the window became louder, as if it was a harbinger of a major event, and suddenly remembered the iron tower that was burned down in Hubei a few days ago, and felt that it was an unfortunate association, so I hurriedly took a few sips before I felt better.

But the wind was strong, and it actually had the meaning of rain and snow.

According to the old calendar, it is the middle of February at this moment, which is the February of "Shasai Sanhe Road, Golden Boudoir February Spring", and it is also the February of "I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors".

More than a thousand years ago in February, the son of Changji shouted "The oriental wind is full of spring, and the willows in the flower city are sad for a few people", which is still fascinating, but now, the air is obviously the north wind howling, full of cold, although it is really a sorrow, but only because of the network tune of the order is delayed, the flower city willow is dark?

The sting has been frightened, where is the spring?

So I wanted to find some text pastime, but I was lazy, and I couldn't remember what was particularly interesting to read for a while, so I made some boring connections: because today is the 11th, I turned out the eleventh song of "Fifty-nine Ancient Songs" to see, but I really don't like "Spring Rong will leave me, and autumn hair has decayed." It is a pity that today is not the No. 10 of "Qi Yousui Sheng", nor the No. 12 of "difficult to be a peach and plum face".

And because it was the third month of the solar calendar, I opened the third volume of "The Complete Works of Su Dongpo", and singled out the third one to read, but found that it was "Fa Hongze returned to a strong wind halfway", in such a night, stay dozens of kilometers away from home and listen to the wind roaring outside to read such a thing... It's hard to avoid some bad associations.

I tried to go down again, and used the mood of playing tarot to find the eleventh poem, but the first sentence of the split hit a hard nail called "Poor Alley Desolation and Bitterness", Fang relieved his breath, and saw the seven big characters of "Breaking Hatred and Hatred Must Be Annoying and Tillering" Ran into his eyes, so he lost his interest, and ignored the open-mindedness of "I also sing in white hair and green shirts" in the back, and closed the document with his hand.

Hate for a while, in the end it is difficult to play, but also for the long night, always have no intention to sleep, look at it is ten o'clock, then change the number, open the "Book of Songs", from top to bottom, the tenth is Tang Feng, with some enthusiastic mood opened, but when I raised my eyes to see is "Cricket":

I am not happy today, the sun and the moon are gone. I'm not happy today, the sun and the moon are moving forward. I'm not happy today, the sun and the moon are happy...

True TMMD......

This blow was really too big, I only felt that I couldn't get a breath choked in my throat, and I was even more unhappy when I thought about my wife and son at home, so I opened the atlas and revisited my son's 100-day photos for the hundredth time, and when I saw more than 70 photos, I really felt much refreshed.

I like a scoundrel the most, and I bite the pillow at the head of the bed...

If this is the case, gradually get the energy to recover, in the end refused to give up, so I opened the collection of books, thought about it, and finally thought that today is really Saturday, so I set an auspicious number, opened the historical records, went straight to the sixty-sixth volume, looked at it, almost a mouthful of blood spurted up, screamed bitterly, I don't know the level.

Actually, the sixty-sixth volume of the historical records is the sixth in the biography of Wu Zixu.

The three and six are connected, and it is so auspicious that it can't be more auspicious, but staring at the name in front of the biography, I really can't stop my anger from burning for a while.

There is a grandson of the soldier saint, and there is a senior brother of Zhongni, why is this guy who has nothing to do with the word "auspicious" brazenly seize this auspicious position?

Hey...

Finally gave in to the destiny of heaven, and understood that all the numbers tonight probably would not jump to words like "singing and drinking during the day" or "looking up to the sky and laughing and going out", while comforting himself that this at least implies that today's power delivery will be very smooth, while obediently giving in to mathematics, honestly opening Mr. Wuyuan's biography.

But I only looked at the first line.

Wu Zixu, Chu people, celebrities. The father of the member said Wu Luxury. Brother Wu Shang. He first said Wu Ju, and directly admonished the king of Chu Zhuang, which was prominent, so his later generations were famous in Chu.

Laughing, Lao Tzu didn't bow to mathematics, although Wu Zixu's story is heroic, but in the end, Wu Ju, and the story of the man he left his name for are much better, and much better.

Therefore, the last document I opened was "Historical Records \ 040.htm", to be specific, it was "Historical Records Volume 40 Chu Family Tenth".

On such a night, I began to read and retell the story of King Chuzhuang.

If it falls on the modern household registration book, the name of King Chu Zhuang will be written quite awkwardly, called Mi Xiong couple, or Mi Xiong couple (it feels like a certain MM named Xiong Couple married into a big family surnamed Mi...) This is mainly due to the difference between the words "surname" and "clan" in ancient times.

In fact, not only today, since the Spring and Autumn Period of the "Collapse of Etiquette", the difference between the two words of the surname has gradually blurred (because it is too verbose, and because the original aristocratic system collapsed, it is really useless. If you want to explain the ins and outs of these two words, I am afraid that there are not two or three thousand words, I am afraid that it will not be thorough, here is only a simple explanation: the surname is from the bloodline, and what is the surname of the person who gave birth to you, you will have the surname; The clan is a small group that is divided under this big surname, and it represents more of the status or commonality of this small group.

For example, if someone stands downstairs and yells, "All the maintenance areas are out!" Of course, the whole building runs out together, but if you shout: "The relay protection in the maintenance area is out!" "Then there is only a swarm of bees on the second floor, and you can't hear it from the third floor up. In this, "maintenance area" is equivalent to a surname, and "relay protection" is "name".

Why is there a difference between "surname" and "clan", because there are not many people in total from three generations down, and it has not been a few days since the mythological era, all of them claim to be Yanhuang blood, Chinese descendants, and they can all climb out of the family tree, and the grandchildren of more than a few generations are Yunyun, regardless of whether it is true or false, anyway, at least the surname must always be correct, right? Counting these three emperors and five emperors, how many are there in total? So although the world is big, there are really not many surnames, which is not much in the river to catch fish in even Yaoshun and the two old people, and it is nothing to pinch the soil and burn pottery, anyway, it is basically the equality of all beings, but later, when the big bosses all use ivory chopsticks, take wine and meat to make a garden, and then think about it, and the group of guys under the feet are almost all family, and there is nothing noble, so they are unhappy, and they have a "clan", which is a personal identity.

For example, Qu Yuan, he and the King of Chu have the same surname, sealed in the "Qu" place, so they are called Qu Shi, Ming Ping, Zi Yuan, so Mr. Qu Yuan's full name should also be called Mi Qu Shi Ping, Zi Yuan or Mi Qu Ping, Zi Yuan. (But one more sentence, I have seen a lot of words in Mr. Remembrance, and there are really few places where they are all written, and there are even places that are grandly written "Qu Yuan, surnamed Qu Mingyuan, a famous patriotic poet in my country...", which is really a remnant thought... ）

In this way, the distinction between surname and given name comes out.

(One more sentence, later Zhao Xiucai couldn't stand Ah Q's surname Zhao, and his mood can be said to be "related to the first king", but it's a pity that Zhao Lao's academic foundation is almost, otherwise revive the ancient style and set Ah Q as Zhao's surname Q, isn't it much more glorious than the original strong beam means?) ）

Looking back now, it is clear that the king of Chu Zhuang, whose full name is Mi Xiong, Mi is his surname, Chu nobles can be crowned, Xiong is his clan, only the royal family can be called, and Lu is his name, a single word. (One word, you can't even get an account today...) ）

In 613 BC, King Chuzhuang succeeded to the throne.

Horizontally, this is also a very lively era: Pharaoh's Egypt has been extinct for more than half a century, the ancient kingdom of India is taking shape, and the city of Babylon is ranked in the tenth dynasty (tenth, it's really lazy, and then think of those kings and emperors of so-and-so, so-and-so... Sigh for these friends who didn't expect the era name. The young Republic of Athens is still alive and well ... Oh, and, most like a joke, some neighbors have been shouting that what should be included in the X gene of the human heritage, according to their own words, also began in this era, this, it is really speechless...

(By the way, there was another brother who succeeded him during the year, who?) Chen Linggong, speaking of which, this old man has not heard of any achievements in governing the country, but he is very famous in the wild history, as the most beautiful and dazzling of the many male characters in "Zhulin", he can be regarded as famous through the ages-_-)

The farther and farther, back, back.

When King Chuzhuang first ascended the throne, he looked very negative (but in today's advertising language, it should be called "a successful person who really knows life", laughs), and he didn't give a royal order every day, just stayed in the palace to drink, eat, and play. In this way, three years passed in one go.

You know, this is not the tradition of the Chu State!

Among the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, the qualifications of Chu are relatively humble, and the orthodox northern nobles such as Jin, Lu, Song Qi and Zhou Tianzi do not put them very seriously, saying that they are "barbarians", not the Chinese race, just like Guan Zhong used a trick to clean up the Chu State, and some people praised him as "suppressing Yi". Just like today's Russia, although it is a member of the G8 on a big face, it is not good, the old princes always have to pinch their noses when talking to you, put on gloves and other small movements, even if you invite guests to eat at home, and then people come, but no, you will not be soft-mouthed when eating, you still have to nag two sentences first: "You are still backward, your human rights are greatly few, and democracy is not enough..."

At that time, the state of Chu had such a status.

However, in this way, Chu Guo will have a lot less scruples, and you will also treat me as a first-class scoundrel, right? Then I'll show you the hooligan! This is called "It is better to have the name than to take the name". (One more word, I've always thought that Iran, North Korea, and even in a broad sense can include Russia, which is what is going on: we want to appease for a few years first, but anyway, you American devils can't be a good person in the eyes of me, right?) Then, who knows TMD! Centrifuges, Daepodong, and natural gas are all rounded! Make it slow, slow and slow, but it can't be guaranteed, so I regretted that I didn't come out with Lao Sa Squatting earlier. ）

Because the generation of King Chu Huai was too uncompetitive, the State of Chu has always given everyone the impression that it is a corrupt country, Wen Tian and Wu Huan, just like the brothers of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, in fact, it is not the same thing, the State of Chu, especially the State of Chu in the early and middle period, is not a wolf at all, or a particularly fierce and hungry wolf!

When the state of Chu was first founded, it was not much bigger, just near the Zhijiang River in Hubei today, a small place, at that time it was called "sealed in Chu Man", the first generation was not a king at all, only got a "country of sons and men", called Xiong Yi, and later after a few generations, to the king of Zhou Yi, the history books said that "the royal family is slight, all the candidates or not the dynasty", this family is restless, think about it, anyway, those guys in the north also think that we are robbers, just grab it! So he attacked left and right, fighting to Shangyong in the west and Ezhou in the east, expanding the original territory a lot, basically controlling the southern part of today's Hubei Province and a small part of Hunan Province, and he was a decent warlord.

In this era, the head of the Chu State is called Xiong Qu, and when he saw that his territory was getting bigger and bigger, he was happy and told the truth: "I am a barbarian, and I don't have a relationship with China." "I'm a first-class rogue country, I'm an axis of evil, what's the matter, everyone, I don't play this six-nation talk yet! With a shake of his hand, he didn't care that he was just a viscount, and he was promoted to the king by himself, which was the beginning of the leader of the Chu State becoming king.

Of course, this king has not been a king for a few years, and as soon as King Zhou Li came to power (well, he is the one who caused the "national riot"), Xiong Qu muttered, why? King Zhou Li is not a fuel-efficient lamp, have you seen his nickname? What is powerful, "killing innocent people", the last thing this guy is afraid of is to do it! The more Xiong Qu looked, the more wrong it became, he dared to love that this guy was a genuine old terrorist, he really dared to kill other countries! So he waved the white flag, took the initiative to give up the king's horn, and ran back to the round table of the six countries and began to nibble on moon cakes.

In this way, more than a hundred years passed, until the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, until the Western Zhou Dynasty became the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then the Qin State also quietly showed its head and became a prince, and the Chu State finally came out with a bold one, called Xiong Tong (this guy is not only bold, but also very big, and he has been the king of Chu for fifty-one years), and he set himself up as the king, and he also brought a name, called King Wu of Chu, which is the first king of Chu to be recognized by the history books.

At this time, it was 740 B.C., more than 100 years before Xiong Lu succeeded to the throne.

If you continue to say this for more than 100 years, it is estimated that when it comes to bear couples, this article should be renamed, not called "Chu Zhuang", but "Chu Shijia"~_~

… But I still can't help but tell another story about the deeds of this Xiong Tongwu King.

He went to fight Suiguo, which is an area in the south of Henan today, remember that when the Zhou family was divided, the closer the closer they were, and Suiguo could be sealed in Henan, of course, they were not outsiders, they were also surnamed Ji, and they were the clan of the Zhou Dynasty.

The people of the country said, "I didn't recruit you!" Our King Xiongtong said, "I'm a barbarian." Now the princes are all rebelling against each other, or killing each other. I have a good armor, and if I want to observe the politics of China, I ask the royal family to honor me. ”

That is to say, I am a barbarian from the south, and now I see that your Ji family will not be able to control these candidates, and they will fight each other, and I also have some troops in my hands, and I am willing to contribute, as long as the chairman of the committee makes me the chairman of the province.

From this passage, we can see two meanings: one is that at that time, the state of Chu did not have any communication channels with the central government, and if you wanted to help and wanted something, you had to be heard; Second, although the state of Chu was very angry at that time ("I have a good armor and want to observe the politics of China"), in his bones, he still had a kind of inferiority, longing to be recognized, and eager to be accepted as a member of the international order with status and respect.

In fact, this kind of emotion has basically been accompanied by the emergence and demise of the entire Chu State, and it can be seen from the history books that among the great forces that won the Taiwan market during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only the Chu State shouted at every turn, "The ancestor of Chu is from Emperor Gaoyang!" Why? In fact, this belongs to the same psychology as our neighbors to the east: China, Egypt, India, Greece... No one will shout when they are fine, "Our ancestors are indeed an old civilization!" Our ancestors are indeed thousands of years old! Only those families in the East China Sea would be there desperately shouting to the world: "Emperor Jimmu did exist for 700 years before AD!" "Ancient Records" is definitely not fabricated by later generations! Amaterasu really exists, he is exactly three years older than the Yellow Emperor of China! Or "King Sejong is the world's first sacred, wise, civil, martial arts, super invincible emperor, 10,000 years before the history of Smecta civilization" Yunyun.

This time the application was handed in, but Zhou Tianzi still didn't approve it, which made King Xiong Tong angry: "I am the first bear, and the teacher of King Wen is also the end of the flea." The king of Cheng raised my father, but he was the son of the man Tian Ling Ju Chu, and the barbarians were all subdued, and the king did not add the throne, and I respected myself. ”

We are also old qualifications, our ancestors were glorious at the time of King Wen, and King Cheng sealed our family in Chudi, and now the surrounding brothers have obeyed, so you can give you permission to give you face, do you dare not approve it? Lao Tzu signed it himself!

He set himself up as a warrior king.

At this time, it was the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Xiong Tong, strictly speaking, it was only the first year of King Wu of Chu, but the history books were very tolerant, and the previous thirty-seven years were posthumously recognized, and they were all counted as the reign of King Wu.

After that, King Wu of Chu ruled the state of Chu for another fourteen years, and he can be said to be a typical military king, and when he finally fell, he also died in the army.

In addition, please note that it was mentioned earlier that Xiongqu extended the Chu State to the entire southern part of Hubei, and now, we can clearly see that the northern part of Hubei, including parts of Henan, has also become the Chu region, and this does not count the development of the southern front to the land of Yuxiang, in fact, in the past hundred years, although the major princes have been expanding and annexing, none of them can expand so quickly and so unscrupulously like the Chu State.

This, as I said earlier, is the true tradition of the Chu State.

(I can't help but have another sentence: what wolf culture wolf character wolf books have been very noisy in recent years, saying that the Han people have no blood since ancient times, and what needs to be supplemented by the advanced nature of nomads, once in a few hundred years or something...) ! Since ancient times, there has been femininity and gentleness, and when Yin Shangyi was revolutionary, he used saliva to float the pestle? Did the descendants of Yan and Huang eat from Henan to all parts of the country by eating? Do you know what "Wu people are fierce, and the more people die lightly", and do you know what is "people who swallow charcoal tattoos"... I have always agreed with the advantages and disadvantages of discussing the advantages and disadvantages of cultural traditions, but it is best to find your own position, study as much as you want, just say as much, don't easily open your mouth to make some summary and generalized views, to say something unpleasant, Zhuzi Baijia has not read half of it, and the twenty-four histories have not read through it, so they will stand up and analyze what "the structural shortcomings in traditional Chinese culture...", analyze a big radish analysis, I really think that I have the foundation of the May Fourth generation! ）

The next hundred years, skip not mentioning.

The king of Chuzhuang, Xiong Lu, finally succeeded to the throne in 613 BC and continued to eat, drink and be merry until 610. (Phew, I've finally written about him, and I'm going to be annoyed if I can't write it again.) ）

After three years of fun, Wu Ju (yes, yes, it's him, Wu Zixu's ancestor) admonished, and when he admonished, the scene can be said to be quite decadent: the bear king hugged the beauty of Zheng Guolai on the left, and the girl from Yue Guolai on the right (called "Zheng Ji on the left, Yue Nu on the right" in written language, and the idiom of hugging the right on the left came like this), sitting in the middle of a bunch of entertainment equipment, the wine was not withdrawn, the ground was not swept, staring at him, Wu Ju was not polite, and also stared at the king of Xiong, and asked him the question: "There is a bird in Fu, and it has not been singing for three years, what kind of bird is it?" ”

There is a bird squatting on the mountain, it has not flown for three years, it has not called for three years, what kind of bird is this?

The king of bears thought about it, and his answer was not bad: "If you don't fly for three years, you will soar to the sky; If you don't sing for three years, the song will be amazing. I know what to do. ”

If you don't fly for three years, you will soar into the sky, and if you don't scream for three years, you will be scared to death if you scream, you go, I understand.

Wu Ju was very happy and went back, but after waiting for a few months, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, not only did he not move, but it seemed to have intensified!

So another person ran out, Doctor Su Cong, and ran to the palace angrily, the King of Xionglu was not very polite this time, his eyes widened, and the sword was also revealed, "If you don't listen to the order?" ”

Did you forget? I said that if you dare to admonish, you will be killed!

Su Cong was still snorting angrily, and his speech was not as tactful as Wu Ju's, "Kill Mingjun, and the minister's wish is also." ”

If you can understand if I'm dead, it's worth it!

The following actions make the reader quite happy and happy.

So it was to stop lewdness, listen to the government, hundreds of people were punished, hundreds of people entered, Ren Wuju, Su Cong was in politics, and the National People's Congress said.

… Below, like "Jia Sheng", the time for discussion has come again.

Habitually, whenever I see such a particularly dramatic, dramatic plot that is so impressive that it is indelible, I often stop watching it and try to analyze it.

Why?

As a member of the Communist Party and a materialist, I have always believed that qualitative change can occur, but I have always firmly believed that for qualitative change to occur, there must be enough quantitative change to accumulate. It is not impossible to change people's minds with a single word, but in the process of implementation, reactionary reactions are bound to appear.

Of course, there is also a kind of qualitative change, which can occur like lightning without accumulating first, and I think that King Chuzhuang is this type.

…… He is a pseudo-metamorphosis.

In other words, his quality has never changed, and what has changed is only his shell.

When King Chuzhuang ascended the throne, Chu was already a country of thousands of miles, although it still displeased the princes of the Central Plains, but it was no longer because of his "origin" but "strength", before King Chuzhuang ascended the throne, his father made historians interested in recording only four deeds, three of which were to attack and expand the land: destroy the river; extinguish six, knotweed; Var Chen, and then died.

Jiang, is today's Shangcai area in Henan, Liuhe is together, is now the area of Huoshan in Anhui, Chen, is today's Zhunyang area, you can look at the map, you know that at this time the state of Chu has encroached on many places in Henan, and has gained a foothold in Anhui.

These place names don't look very good, but don't look down on their meaning, in a word, there are absolutely no outsiders who can be sealed in Henan, even if it is the Six Kingdoms and the Tateshi Country, it is not small, it is after Gaotao, when the Yellow Emperor was in front of the law order, the elder who was in charge of rewards and punishments, when it came to the background, it was only the Yellow Emperor's six beasts in the bear army of what "Chu Man" Niu Hai went, as for the Chen State that was not destroyed, in fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chen was one of the extremely important vassal states in the Central Plains, not to mention the power, is from a good background, has a thick foundation, is an old aristocrat, and even the common people are bullish, just like today's Beijing and Shanghainese, even if they are standing on the street selling newspapers, they still have to snort when they see a suit and leather shoes from other places stop the car to buy newspapers: "The little red guy from Shangjiang is so white-looking?" ”。 So later, King Kong Wen ran around, and would rather roll his eyes hungry and listen to the students complain in Chen Caizhong, rather than go to Chu Di to mix rice and eat.

At this time, Chu already had a strong power, but in terms of culture, technology and even economic industries, it was still far behind the Central Plains countries. For example, for a long time, coquettish coexists, known as the dual source of realism and romanticism in Chinese literature, especially in the sequence of poetry, but put aside the praise and halo added by these descendants, and take a closer look, what will we see?

In the Book of Songs, there is no text of Chu at all.

Until the time of Confucius, the cultural achievements of Chu still only had such a pitiful status, and they still could not enter the eyes of orthodox cultural people, not to mention the era of bears and bears who were still more than 300 years away from that great time when a hundred schools of thought contended.

If we want to make an analogy, maybe we can imagine another big country: he broke out of the darkness and suddenly came to the long table of the Chinese, his eyes were wide open, he had strong muscles, but that's all, he could make people fear, but he didn't have the capital to be respected or liked, his culture was not appreciated and recognized by those who pretended to be noble, his economy was not developed enough, there was not enough food and metal, and his only capital was the power that he could make others afraid. But this power gives people a mouthful, so that others can always sing the "XX threat theory".

In fact, his strength was not enough to completely protect himself, and those old nobles could definitely deal a devastating blow to him if they were really ruthless and whatever the cost.

(During the Spring and Autumn Period, almost all of them used the banner of Zhou Tianzi to deter, defend or strike at some foreign peoples, and before Chu Zhuang, the Chu State, or Chu Man, was often fortunate to be listed among these objects of deterrence, resistance or attack.) ）

(Among the several overlords in the Central Plains before the rise of Chuzhuang, the princes of Qi Henggong Jiuhe have always regarded Chu as an imaginary enemy; Jin Wengong's most famous "retreat", the loser was the Chu army; The end of Song Xianggong's hegemony was precisely because he was defeated by the Chu army in Mengdi, in other words, all along, Chu has always stood on the opposite side of the Central Plains alliance leader. ）

What should be done to take over the administration of the country in such a situation?

There are four words that everyone should be familiar with.

Bide.

I think this is the truth of the eating and drinking of King Xionglu in the first three years, and even, I have always had a rude conjecture: even Wu Ju and Su Cong's loyal and brave actions should only be part of Chu Zhuang's plan.

Why?

Looking back at the above, how did things develop after Su Cong's re-admonition?

So it was to stop lewdness, listen to the government, hundreds of people were punished, hundreds of people entered, Ren Wuju, Su Cong was in politics, and the National People's Congress said.

It's normal and logical to stop lewdness and listen to politics, but the next two short sentences are impossible to ignore: hundreds of people are punished, and hundreds of people are entered.

Who is the punishment? And who is entering?

To put it simply, of course, they are corrupt elements, and of course they are reformers, but... Who are the corrupt and who are the reformers?

To put it bluntly, who will judge?

A person, if he really has to be in the deep palace for three years, I don't know what day it is, how can he judge it? How do you decide who to enter or who to punish?

At the imperial court level, there were hundreds of people killed, hundreds of people were promoted, this is not a trivial matter in any era, if it is not handled properly, there will be huge political turmoil, but, look at the history books, we will know that this did not appear, Chu people quickly accepted this fact and got the return of internal affairs, "the National People's Congress said", this change did not affect the strength of Chu, they even began to crusade outward, extended their power to the northwest of Hubei, and entered Sichuan, and also opened the door of Shaanxi.

The extermination of hundreds of officials and the complete demotion of the original senior bureaucrats, without forming a backlash that would interfere with national politics, and the new hundreds of new recruits also included the use of the new ministers, and could quickly form a joint force and show their ability: to make the people happy in domestic affairs, and to quickly achieve victory in military affairs, this kind of thing, people can't believe that it is an accident.

Of course, it can also be understood in this way: Chu Zhuang has complete trust in the two of them, and entrusts all the personnel power to the two of them. Searching through the history books, such an authorization was only given by those lazy and mediocre masters, and even the romance version of Zhuge Fulong was never obtained, King Chuzhuang, as one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, if he said that he would use power like this, it would be hard to believe.

So, I think, he, has never changed.

Yan Le's three years were just Tao Hui's three years, and in the three years, he borrowed wine to hide, looked at everything with cold eyes, analyzed everything, and judged everything.

Whoever can advance, who should retreat, who can kill and seize wealth, who can calm the place, who can borrow money to settle the people, who can conquer foreign countries, everything is hidden under the absurdity of three years, quietly accumulated, and has already taken shape.

It is for "the ninth day of the first month, don't use the hidden dragon", although it looks like a pool of stagnant water, there is no sound, and there is no hope, but below that, there is a dragon that is lurking and enduring the minions.

The bear couple, the king of Chuzhuang.

made a good start, the following story is quite good-looking, basically, one success and the next, and then it is not interesting to narrate it in the form of a running account, however, there are a few things that are still worth picking out and briefly describing.

In the fifth year after the reform, the Chu army crusaded against the alien races living in the Luhun area, where is this? Today, in the area of Song County, Henan, in the southwest of Luoyang, not far from Luoyang, after the victory of the Chu army, King Chuzhuang is a little dishonest, think about it, this place is not far from Zhou Tianzi, anyway, they are all running from afar, it is better to just take a look!

Then he went to Luo and watched the troops in the suburbs of Zhou.

It is impossible for us to know what King Chu Zhuang had in mind when he made this decision, but I think that if the Xiong Yizi man who was sealed in Chu Man, and the King Xiong Qu who was so frightened by King Zhou Li that he took the king back again, and the Xiong Tongwu King who couldn't get the title in the end... If they knew, they would have grinned wide.

Good grandson, promising, strong master is better than ancestor!

Isn't it, the former frontier barbarian, the former low-level minister, the former wild man Luhan, now, can wave his army to Beijing in a dignified manner and watch the suburbs!

Moreover, this time, the banner is still so dignified and upright, no one dares to stand up and reprimand him for being rude, and no one dares to stand up and scold them for being barbarians, but they want to send people out to work in the army, and smile like a flower to say some polite words such as "the king has worked hard from afar, overcome the country's worries, and his loyalty is commendable"!

It was at this time, like "blockbuster", that another word began to appear in Chinese history, which has endured for thousands of years, and is still used by some actors or reckless organizations to this day.

Aspirations.

At that time, Zhou Tianzi was the king of Zhou Ding, called Ji Yu (crucian carp, I hate crucian carp spiny... I just came to power, I was very young, I heard that the barbarian bear led the people and horses down the city, so he sifted a little chaff, looked left and right, and saw a tall brother (really a brother, a grandfather's), just like seeing a savior: "I said Wang Sunman, this matter will be handed over to you, think about settling this barbarian... Chin this, scattered dynasty. With a wave of his hand, he took Wang Sunman to the gate of the city.

Speaking of Wang Sunman, he is really a character, and he showed a big face when he was eleven or twelve years old: it was the era when Qin Mucheng was rising, and the Qin army had a labor expedition to attack Zheng Guo, passing through the gate of Zhou Wangcheng, Wang Sunman stood at the head of the city and watched for a while, and said to his grandfather King Zhou Xiang: "The Qin army will be defeated." "I also analyzed several reasons in an orderly manner, and then the Qin army really failed to sneak attack, and when they came back, they were shot by the Jin State again, and they lost so much that only three gray generals were left to go home. (This story is actually quite famous, and later Guo Daxia guarded Xiangyang, and the Huang gang leader attacked the old wisdom of the Zheng people at that time.) ）

The Battle of Kunshan took place in 628 B.C., and from then until now, another twenty-two years have passed, and Wang Sunman is already in his early thirties, and his analysis of problems is still so orderly, and his speech is more sophisticated.

He gave the king's order, brought a few cows, brought some wine, and went to the suburbs to meet the army of the king of Chuzhuang, which is called "labor army", Chuzhuang is not polite, he has eaten beef and drank wine, wiped his mouth, and went to Lao Ji's waist and stabbed his eyes when he opened his mouth, and asked how heavy the Ding was.

Ding this play, we seem to be a big pot today, the design is still very unreasonable, but it was different at that time, it is a symbol of royal power, legendary, Jiuding is like the shape of Kyushu, with Jiuding, it symbolizes the Son of Heaven to Kyushu, which is equivalent to the right to the whole world, King Chuzhuang asked how light and heavy this Ding is as soon as he opened his mouth, that meaning, it is no longer "do not understand the rules" four words can be described, it is called "incivility", and it is absolutely indecent, if the strength of the Zhou room is still there, Chong This sentence can abolish him.

It's a pity that at this time, the Zhou room has long been out of order.

Therefore, Wang Sunman is smart, he knows what King Chuzhuang means, but he pretends not to understand, and fools him with all his might: "In virtue is not in Ding." ”

How much does this tripod weigh? It's not on this tripod.

Chu Zhuang is such a smart person, he understands when he hears it, fooling me here? Okay, this face was pulled down: "Zi Wuwei Jiuding!" The beak of the Chu State is enough for Jiuding. ”

Don't beat around the bush! Let me tell you, our Chu State is now strong in national strength, and the waste weapons are melted enough to cast another set of Jiuding!

Wang Sunman saw that this guy was in a hurry, and there was no way to do it, so he had to bite the bullet: "Woohoo!" How can the king forget? In the past, Yu Xia was prosperous, far away, tribute to the gold and nine herds, casting tripod elephants, and preparing all kinds of things for it, so that the people knew the treachery. There is chaos in morality, Ding moved to Yin, and carried six hundred. Yin Xun was tyrannical, and Ding moved to Zhou. Lourdes is bright, although small must be heavy; Its treachery is chaotic, although it is big, it must be light. In the past, the king was set in Jiajun, thirty years of Bu Shi, seven hundred years of Bu year, and the destiny of heaven. Although Zhou De declined, the mandate of heaven has not changed. The weight of the tripod is not to be asked. ”

I said the old bear's, did you forget? When was this tripod made? It was cast by the metal of the Quartet at that time, and the patterns on it were not indiscriminately carved, all of them were all in the Quartet, and they were all controlled by the Son of Heaven. Later, the Xia people came out of a king who did not fight, this Jiuding went to Yin, a gas of 600 years, and then Yin came out of a king who did not fight, this tripod returned to Zhou, this Ding God, his quality is not according to the laws of physics, if the Son of Heaven correctly represents the development direction of the times, it will be heavy on the old nose, can not move, if the Son of Heaven deviates from the development direction of the times, he will be light, a gust of wind blows away, when our old Ji family moved the tripod can be fortune-telling, in the old Ji family can put 30 generations, 700 years, now there is still a difference of almost 300 years, Although our family can't do it now, but the destiny hasn't run yet, no matter how much scrap copper you have, it's all fake, this set, you just can't move!

If we were on the side at the time, we must have held Mr. Newton's head up with two slaps, and then went directly into the city to move the Ding, but Chu Zhuang didn't succeed, I didn't learn Newton's three laws, I didn't see Galileo throw an iron ball, think about it, Leng let Wang Sunman stop this nonsense, touched his head, turned around and withdrew.

From the above, we can see how important it is to have correct scientific knowledge, and all of us must take the regret of Comrade Xiong as a warning, and we must consciously be proud of advocating science and ashamed of ignorance...

There are also a few other things that are quite famous, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not.

Legend has it that Chuzhuang once wanted to send troops to cut down the Jin people, and his uncle Sun Ao persuaded him not to go, saying to him: "There is an elm in the garden of the minister, and there are cicadas on it." The cicada side screamed sadly, wanting to drink the dew, but not knowing that the praying mantis was behind, bending its neck, wanting to grab and eat it. The praying mantis wants to eat the cicada, but does not know that the yellow finch is behind, raises its neck, and wants to peck and eat it. The yellow finch wanted to eat the praying mantis, but he didn't know that the boy was carrying a projectile under the elm, and he wanted to play it. The boy wanted to play the yellow finch, but he didn't know that there was a deep pit in front of him, and there was a wood bend plant in the back. This is all greedy for the interests of the former, regardless of the latter. It's not just insects, it's like this. ”

I see, this paragraph doesn't need to be translated, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch comes from this idiom.

Another story is that Chu Zhuang used people's mental skills, once he made wine, everyone drank together, that called happy, and called his favorite concubine out to everyone to drink, as a result, someone was not honest with his hands and feet, and took advantage of it, and was torn off the fur on the hat by the favorite concubine, called "Jueying", and then told him, as a result, his eyes rolled, and he asked everyone to tear off the hat when he didn't light the lamp, and he said that of course everyone pulled it, but the person was not exposed, and then this person was very grateful, and made meritorious contributions in the war against Jin, After Chu Zhuang investigated clearly, he simply gave him the concubine.

Although this story has not become an idiom, it has also left the special term "Jueying", in addition, the magic of the people's hearts revealed in this story has been widely praised for thousands of years, and it is very famous, and later Dong Fengxian was caught by Zhong Yinggong in the Fengyi Hall where he molested Wang, and Li Zhongrong cited this allusion to appease the situation (but unfortunately, Qianli grass is grass in the end, there is no bear heart, and finally made a big mistake... ）。

There is another thing, which has to do with horse meat.

said that there was a good horse in Chuzhuang, that one called liking, dressed well, lived in a big house, and fed fruits all day long, but died one day (according to the history books, it seems to be fat... Chu Zhuang is very sad and wants to bury it as a doctor's gift, so can a group of doctor-level officials in the court stand it? If you fall into the ground in the future, you will say "Well, according to the standard of the king's horse when he entered the earth", and there will be nowhere to put his face when he closes his eyes! played with the advice of life, but it didn't work, Chu Zhuang's heart was very dead, and no one would listen to it, and a good official (that is, who told jokes to make him happy) called You Meng came and said, no, this is not good! This is a big loss of face for our Chu country, how rich we are, the king's beloved horse is not allowed to have a big funeral, and must be buried according to the treatment of the king! Let everyone in the world know how much our king likes this horse!

Chu Zhuang understood this, so he accepted his opinion, boiled this horse with some peppercorns or something, and shared it with the group of doctors. (However, I have suffered from the sequelae of junior high school, as soon as I see the mention of eating horse meat, I think of Tie Pinggu's father's famous words: "The taste of human flesh is nothing more than that, although it is more tender than horse meat, but it is more sour than horse meat, and you have to add more green onion and ginger as a seasoning.") "Likes and dislikes... ）

The above stories have not been put into Chuzhuang's biography, and the sources are messy, some are found out from Zhuangzi, some are found out from Han poems, and some are spread in a mess, and everyone on the earth knows about them but they can't be said to be recorded there at the earliest, but no matter what, the current literary and historical views basically put them and Chuzhuang together.

In fact, the story of Chuzhuang is far more than these: for example, there are many interactions between him and his uncle Sun Ao, such as his interaction with Youmeng, such as the legend that the "Changgan" in Li Bai's Changgan line is Chuzhuang's sword, and legend has it that his qin is one of the four famous pianos, and the legend is ......

I'm tired, though, and it looks like I've finally given the order.

At this time, it was dark like a haunted house, and the wind howled more than the ghost cried, but the night's waiting had finally come to fruition, and the work that had been waiting here was finally successfully completed.

Go home immediately, this story... That's the end of it.

… Finally, one more sentence, the rule of Chuzhuang, thirty-one years.
