Section 96 The Six Secretaries of the Jin State
Qin Mugong resented Jin Huaigong's original farewell without saying goodbye, so he began to look for Chong'er everywhere, wanting to establish Chong'er as the monarch of the Jin State. At this time, Jin Huaigong also ordered that the Jin people, who had fled with Chong'er, should return to the Jin Kingdom within the time limit, otherwise their family would be destroyed. With the help of Qin Mugong, Chong'er successfully returned to the Jin Kingdom, and there were other doctors in the Jin court who responded and killed Jin Huaigong. Chong'er ascended the throne as the Duke of Jin Wen.
Although there was civil strife in the Jin State from the beginning of the Xiangong, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the strong expansion of the Jin Xiangong laid a solid foundation for the Jin State. After Duke Wen of Jin ascended the throne, he killed the ministers who followed Huaigong of Jin, and rewarded the ministers who followed him into exile and some meritorious heroes in the Jin country. At this time, there was chaos within the Zhou Dynasty, King Xiang of Zhou was expelled by his own royal brother, and Duke Wen of Jin listened to the opinion of his subordinates that "if you want to become an overlord, it is better to escort King Zhou back to Beijing and respect King Zhou". The Jin army rushed ahead of the Qin army to relieve the siege, welcomed back King Xiang of Zhou, and killed King Xiang's younger brother.
After the death of King Qing of Zhou, the ministers of the Zhou royal family fought for power, and the Jin State sent Zhao Dun to lead 800 chariots to quell the turmoil of the Zhou Dynasty and support King Kuang of Zhou to ascend the throne. The princes established the Son of Heaven, and at this time the hegemony of the Jin State reached its peak.
When the Duke of Jin Wu was Qu Wo Daiyi, his son Jin Xian was worried that his later sons would follow suit, so he followed the advice of his subordinates and hunted down the Gong clan on a large scale. Whether it is the vein of Marquis Wen of Jin or the vein of Uncle Qu Wohuan, the one who kills and the one who escapes, so that the Jin State has no duke, which lays a hidden danger for the weakening of the Jin State Office and the strength of the Liuqing in the future. After Qu Wo Dai Yi, Jin Wugong destroyed Xun State, sealed Xun Xi in Xun State, Xun Xi was Xun's family, Xun Xi was Jin Xiangong's orphan minister. Later, there were Zhongxing, Zhi, and Fan. After Jin Xiangong destroyed Huo State, Geng State, and Ancient Wei State, he sealed Bi Wan in Ancient Wei State, which was later Wei. Jin Xiangong gave Geng Guo to Zhao Shu, and the later Zhao clan was formed.
After Duke Wen of Jin ascended the throne, he set up three armies, infantry, chariot and cavalry, which laid the foundation for the formation of the six secretaries of the Jin state. The princes and doctors of the é¤ (xĂŹ) clan, the Hu clan, the Zhao clan, the Xun clan, the Xian clan, the Luan clan, and the Xu clan began to flourish. Among them, the Zhao family is the strongest. Zhao Yuan, Zhao Dun father and son, experienced Wen Xiangling into the four dukes, and the power was monstrous. In the sixth year of the reign of Xianggong of the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Yuan, Luan Zhi and other important ministers died one after another, and Zhao Dun got the opportunity to dictate. The following year, Duke Xiang died, and Zhao Dunli's young Duke Ling of Jin ascended the throne and took charge of the state. He even met with the princes as a doctor, and there was an act of trespassing on the office.
After the death of Linggong, Chenggong ascended the throne, and Jin Chenggong gave Zhao as the prince doctor, and the other doctors were even more dissatisfied. And Zhao Dun's cousin Zhao Piercing killed Linggong, which became the most powerful excuse for Zhongqing to crusade against the Zhao family. After Zhao Dun's death, his son Zhao Shuo defeated Chu and returned, but the Qing doctor Han Ju persuaded him to take refuge in a hurry. Zhao Shuo didn't listen, and finally Tu Anjia led the crowd to go to the palace and killed Zhao Shuo, Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Yingqi. The Zhao family suddenly collapsed in this coup, which is known in history as the Lower Palace Difficulty. Later, with the help of Han Ju, Cheng Ying, Gongsun Pestle and others, Zhao Wu, an orphan of the Zhao family, grew up, successfully took revenge and wiped out the Tu'an Jia family, and continued the development of the Zhao family.
After the Zhao clan was destroyed, the doctors began to fight for power. During the reign of Jin Jinggong, Xun Ke was in power, and Xun Ke sent troops to attack Qi and won, and the Xun clan grew stronger and stronger. Later, due to the struggle between the Yin family and the Luan family, the two families of Yin Luan weakened successively. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing clans of the Jin State were autocratic and were the six secretaries of the Jin State. The Zhao clan defeated the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, and later the lands of the Paradigm and Zhongxing clans were divided between the Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhi clans.
In 453 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei jointly defeated the Zhi clan, divided the land of the Zhi clan equally, and established the three regimes of Han, Zhao, and Wei respectively. In 403 BC, King Weilie of Zhou made the three families princely states and officially recognized their status as princes. Marquis Wu of Wei, Marquis of Han Ai, and Marquis Jing of Zhao divided the land of Jin, abolished the monarch of the Jin State as a commoner, and the Jin State finally perished.
The Jin folk songs included in the Book of Songs are all collected in the Wei Feng and Tang Feng. There are a total of 12 songs in "Tang Feng", they are "Cricket", "Mountain Youshu", "Yang Zhishui", "Jiao Liao", "Silk Preparation", "Di Du", "Lamb Qiu", "Bustard Feather", "No Clothes", "You Di Zhi Du", "Ge Sheng" and "Cai Ling". Let's take a look at these poems!
"Cricket": People should be happy
Crickets move from the wild to the house, indicating that the weather is getting colder, the seasons are changing so fast, this year has reached the twilight of the year, the ancients often use the response of migratory insects to climate change to indicate the easier time series. When the protagonist saw such a scene, he hurriedly declared that he should seize the opportunity to have fun, otherwise he would waste his time. In fact, this seems to be a kind of desire to advance and retreat, and his follow-up statement is: don't pursue pleasure too much, you should think carefully about the work you undertake, and you can't be completely indifferent to things that are extraordinary; In particular, we should not only focus on the present, but also think about the worries that may arise in the future.
He is repeatedly admonishing, containing his valuable life experience, is to wake up himself and others. He said: If you like to have fun, don't waste your career, and be like the Magi, always remind yourself to be diligent and progressive.
People can like to have fun, but they must be restrained within a certain limit, and do not waste their business:
The crickets are in the hall, and the year is almost over. I don't have fun today, and time never returns. Don't be too blessed, you have to bear your own duties. Good pleasure is not wrong, and the wise man should guard against it.
The crickets are in the hall, and the year is coming to an end. I don't want to have fun today, and I don't leave time behind. Don't be too blessed, you have to ask for both. Good pleasure is right, and the Magi should fight.
The crickets are in the hall, and the service car will be collected. I'm not looking for fun today, time can't catch up. Don't be too blessed, but think too much about trouble. Good pleasure is true, and the wise man should be kind.
"The Mountain Has a Pivot": The miser among the nobility
An aristocratic ruler of the Scrooge clan, his daily life, eating, drinking, and merrymaking were all of the finest, with beautiful clothes, luxurious carriages and horses, spacious courtyards, exquisite musical instruments, and fine food and wine. However, this aristocratic brother seems to be only keen on accumulating wealth, but is unwilling to spend it, perhaps because of his stinginess, and he is bent on leaving his family property to his children and grandchildren.
For such a person, the people's sarcasm about him is still very spicy:
There is a thorny elm on the slope, and a white elm is long in the middle of the depression. You have a top and a bottom, and you don't wear it or wear it in a box. You have a cart and a horse, and you don't drive or ride aside. Once unfortunately passed away, others enjoyed the comfort.
There are stinky trees growing on the mountain, and linden trees are in low-lying places. You have patios and houses, and you don't sprinkle water to sweep them. You have a bell and a drum in your house, and if you don't beat it, it means nothing. Once unfortunately passed away, others were comfortable with possession.
There are sumac trees on the hillsides, and hazelnut grows in the low-lying ground. You have good wine and good food, why don't you play musical instruments every day. Don't use it to find joy, don't use it to get by. Once you unfortunately pass away, others proudly enter your room.
"The Water of Young": The silence before the storm
In 746 BC, Marquis Wen of Jin died, and his son Ji Bo succeeded him as the king of Jin as Marquis Zhao of Jin. In 745 B.C., the Marquis of Jin Zhaohou enshrined the younger brother of the Marquis of Jin and his uncle Chengshi in Quwo, and the world called him Uncle Quwo Huan, when the area of Quwo City was larger than the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Yicheng, which violated the hierarchy stipulated in the "Zhou Li". The great doctor of the Jin State advised the Marquis of Jin Zhao that the establishment of the country should make the power and territory of the monarch greater than that of his subordinates, so as to consolidate his position and rule, which is to put the cart before the horse, and cannot be stable, and Quwo will be a disaster in the future. However, the Marquis of Jin Zhao did not listen to the advice of the teacher, and since then he has buried the root of the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom for nearly 70 years.
Uncle Qu Wo Huan was 58 years old when he was enshrined in Qu Wo, and compared with the Marquis Zhao of Jin, who had just ascended the throne, he had participated in the political struggle of his brother Marquis Jin Wen to regain power, so it was obvious that he had more experience in political struggle. Uncle Qu Wohuan has virtue and talent, and his prestige in people's minds is very high, so many people with lofty ideals have rushed to him. Relying on very superior geographical conditions, coupled with the painstaking management of Uncle Quwo Huan, Quwo soon became the second economic, political and cultural center of the Jin Kingdom, and its strength and influence had surpassed that of the Jin capital Yicheng at that time. With the continuous growth of the fiefdom, Uncle Qu Wohuan's ** is also getting bigger and bigger, and he came up with the idea of usurping the power of his nephew Jin Zhaohou. In the face of the gradual expansion of Quwo's power, the Marquis of Jin Zhao did not take measures to stop it.
In 739 BC, the minister of the Jin State, Pan's father, killed the Marquis of Zhao of the Jin Dynasty and openly established Qu Wohuan Shu as the monarch of the Jin State. When Uncle Qu Wohuan was about to enter Yicheng to seize power, the power of the supporters of the monarch of the Jin State was still very strong at that time, so they sent troops to attack Uncle Qu Wohuan. Uncle Qu Wo Huan was defeated and had to retreat to Qu Wo. The Jin people supported Ji Ping, the son of the Marquis of Zhao of Jin, as the monarch of the country, for the Marquis of Jin Xiao, and killed the traitor Pan's father. From then on, the confrontation between Yicheng and Quwo was completely open, and the Jin State actually existed at the same time.
