"Rain Without Justice": Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone

King Zhou You's close attendant, seeing that King Zhou You was mediocre and cruel, and the ministers of the court were selfish and misleading the country, he had no choice but to use the complaint to satirize King You's cruelty and darkness.

King Zhou You's mediocrity and chaos in the government **, which is well-known in history. He reused his ministers such as Yu Shifu, which increased exploitation, and coupled with earthquakes and droughts, displaced the people, causing many disasters. He favored Bao Xi and abolished Empress Shen and the crown prince Yijiu, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among Shenhou. When the Zhou Dynasty was hungry and chaotic, Shenhou united with foreign forces such as Dog Rong to kill Youwang Yu at the foot of Li Mountain in one fell swoop, captured Haojing, and eliminated the Western Zhou Dynasty. The land of Wangji in the Western Zhou Dynasty was gradually occupied by the Inurong and other tribes. Yijiu became the king of Zhou under the support of Shen, Lu, and Xu. In desperation, he was escorted by the Qin State and moved east to Luoyi and became the first king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Ping.

This doctor, who personally experienced the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the establishment of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, saw the reality of political slack and social chaos, and complained not only about God's thoughtfulness and the lack of distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, but also complained about the selfishness of those righteous doctors, three doctors, and princes, who could not be diligent in the king's affairs, and hated those good people who were loyal to the country and diligent in the king's affairs. So when he faced the chaotic and dark political situation, he could only shed tears of sadness with blood and pour out his truest thoughts in his heart.

With infinite emotion and sentimentality, he complained that the impermanence of destiny and the impatience of kindness were too long-lasting, which led to mourning, famine, and calamity all descending on the world together. However, the truly sinful are still at large, while the vast number of innocent people have suffered infinitely. On the surface, he is complaining about the heavens, but in fact he is strongly satirizing the ghost king. At a time when the country was shattered and the people were dying, some princes, ministers, ministers, and doctors, who ran away and avoided it, not only failed to serve to help the monarch and save the country, but took the opportunity to commit all kinds of bad acts.

The Son of Heaven does not listen to the correct opinions, and acts recklessly day by day, not knowing where to lead the country; And all the gentlemen and doctors were not afraid of the majesty of the Mandate of Heaven, but instead aided in the abuse, and did a series of bad things that were neither self-respecting nor unscrupulous. He pointed out in painful language: The disasters of war have continued, the people have not ceased to famine, and the affairs of the country have long deviated from the right path, not only do all the officials not advise the Son of Heaven, but even the Son of Heaven himself can only listen to the words that are pleasant to the ear and refuse to criticize, only he, the servant of the court, is still working hard and sorrowing every day for the state affairs that are in danger.

Because the Son of Heaven only likes to listen to some pleasant words and does not listen to criticism, he is sad and sad and difficult to enter into advice, while those who can speak the Tao are full of words and say things that are harmful to the country. He was emaciated and sickly, while these people enjoyed the blessings of being in good places. It's not that he is stupid, but that the Son of Heaven doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and the behavior of loyalty and treachery makes him unable to admonish anything.

Therefore, how difficult and dangerous it is to be an official in such an environment. If you take the right path, you will offend the Son of Heaven; If you don't take the right path, you will let your relatives and friends complain. The dilemma really worries him. For the sake of safety, he persuaded those dignitaries to move to the eastern capital of the Zhou Dynasty, but they refused on the pretext that they had no home. In that environment, doing the right thing will be hated by others. Now he can no longer open his mouth to speak, and can only shed tears with blood. In fact, if the catastrophe really comes, even if there is no family in the field, they will flee one after another. It's just that the moment of the country's demise has not yet arrived.

Faced with the situation of the country's ruin and the world's embarrassment, he thought about it and felt a lot of emotion. He not only complained about the impermanence of the Mandate of Heaven, but also exposed the Son of Heaven's obedience to slander and his indistinguishability between right and wrong. These deacons and ministers are either reluctant to steal peace, or they are clever words, leading to natural disasters**, which come to the world together. In the face of the troubled times of the faint monarch, when he was worried about the country, he was very distressed and sad in his heart, although he wanted to be diligent in national affairs and save the country from danger. And because of his lonely situation, he finally didn't know what to do. Therefore, he can only be sad, grieved, complaining, and helpless. In such a chaotic world of hunger and danger, it is really more than enough to have more than enough strength. So he can only reveal the truth of reality to vent his full anger,

This is his cry and hesitation, and it is also the cry and hesitation of that era:

The vast sky is vast and boundless, and your kindness is too long-lasting. And those sorrows and famines brought down the people everywhere. The Emperor Emperor is too tyrannical and always inconsiderate. Let go of the true sinners and hide their sins. And these sinless and good people are instead in infinite suffering.

The Zhou Room is now in ruins, and people are fleeing everywhere. Dr. Zhengguan has long since left, and who knows my hard work. Although the doctor is still there, who is willing to his heart day and night. The princes of all sides of the feudal kingdom ran in the morning and evening. I hope that they will change their ways, and no one knows that evil things will be done.

What should the emperor do? The hated king did not listen to the right advice. It's like a man running around on the road, not knowing where he's going. All gentlemen and doctors, be cautious and careful. Why don't you know how to fear each other? How dare you defy the dignity of the Mandate of Heaven?

The scourge of war has arisen and there is no hope to eliminate it, and it is always difficult to die out of famine from heaven. Why do I, a little courtier, work so hard and sorrow every day? All the gentlemen and the doctors refused to go and counsel my king. Words that are pleasing to the ear are easy to listen to and can be said, but words that are critical are difficult to speak.

It's sad and sad that it's hard to be honest, it's not that my tongue is clumsy and my mouth is stupid, but I'm really emaciated and sickly. It is really happy to be able to speak, to be able to speak like a river, to greet with clever words, and to enjoy the blessing of being in a good situation.

Nowadays, it is very difficult and dangerous to say that you are an official. If you can't do this, it will be inconvenient to offend the Son of Heaven; If you say that this thing can be done, you will be complained by your friends.

I advised you to move to the royal capital, but you said that you had no house to live in. There is only sorrow and blood in tears, and there are no words that are not hated and jealous. When you went away, who went with you to build a house?
