Chapter 1 Martial Determination 2
As soon as the words fell, Ji Yuanbo had already come closer.
"The king has a will, the battle is over, the king is ambushed, the heavens have the virtue of a good life, the heir of the king of the king, the eldest son is sealed in Yin, Rong is the son, the uncle, the marquis, the good life manages the Yin people, and assists the Great Zhou; The young sons are all out of the same as their own, and they are introduced into the city of the king of pickaxe to raise them, and they are admired! Ji Yuanbo held the king's edict in his hand, and after reading it in a long voice, he said to all the generals of the Zhou clan who were kneeling on the ground, "Get up!" ”
"Obey the order!" Yao Tuo took the royal edict, respectfully saluted and got up, escorted Wu Yiding and his party, and went west, Haojing.
The wind and snow were blowing, and the smell of blood in the air was suffocating.
Muyi, Xinggong.
January 24, 1046 B.C., the day of Boshin.
"Long live the King! Banzai! Hooray! "All the important ministers of the Zhou family, in the main hall, hundreds of officials congratulate.
"All the ministers are flat!" King Wu of Zhou was handsome, gentle and humble, his warm eyes flashed with the essence of victory, and his hands were raised calmly, making the hundred officials stand up.
Since the beginning of King Wen, the brewing war of the Zhou Dynasty, cutting off the tyranny, a few days ago the end of the Muye War, announced the collapse of the corrupt politics of the Yin Shang, King Wu of Zhou ascended the throne in the Muyi Palace.
A new historical era has begun.
"Your Majesty, the remains of the King have been found. The Ministry of Rites returned his robes, buried them in the coffin, and buried them in his temple. Dazong Boxian Yu Kun came out of the queue and said loudly.
"Hmmm! Although the king is mediocre and cruel, he is the king of Yin Shang after all. Although he is dead, we will bury him so that his heirs will have a light on their faces, and they will have a good face, and the great uncle will do a good job! King Wu of Zhou praised.
"The king, the Yin Shang regime has collapsed, the country has changed hands, if the king has good intentions and leaves his children behind, I am afraid it will become a disaster!" Jiang Ziya slowly walked out of the queue and said with a wave of his hand.
There is a kind of majesty in Jiang Ziya's voice.
Jiang Ziya is the father of Queen Yi Jiang. Since King Wen, Jiang Ziya has assisted King Wen, Taoguang and obscure, in order to take the royal power of Yin Shang as his own responsibility. Jiang Ziya is both wise and brave, and has the ability to win a thousand miles in the military, he is not only the benefactor and teacher of King Wu of Zhou, but also the father-in-law of King Wu of Zhou.
Above the court, in front of hundreds of officials, as the queen's father and the king's father, Jiang Ziya had no big heart, but just as his silver hair showed his ancient years, the momentum of commanding the three armies, the ability to win thousands of miles, and the talent of the auxiliary country were inadvertently revealed. The dark purple and red robe of the Great King Teyun is unique, and the status above the tens of thousands of people under the Taishi is unmatched.
Jiang Ziya clenched his fists with both hands, only slightly bowed his head, and his voice had clearly reached the ears of every courtier, and King Wu of Zhou naturally heard it more clearly.
"Yes, King!" Seeing that the Taishi proposed this, Lord Yaonan also stepped forward and said, "King, it will be a great disaster to keep these heirs of the Shang kings." ”
The lord of Yaonan is the patriarch of the largest family in Xiqi, and is the best friend of King Wen. Later, King Wu of Zhou married Yao Yufeng, the daughter of the Yao clan, as his wife, and the lord of Yao Nan also became the father-in-law of King Wu of Zhou.
The two fathers-in-law raised this question at the same time, so that King Wu of Zhou could "Geden" in his heart. He remained silent, twisting his beard in a pensive motion.
"Your Majesty, the Master is right! Thinking that the heir of the king, because of his father's unkindness and evil deeds, he finally got the evil retribution he deserved. But after all, my Great Zhou seized its cities, changed its royal power, and made them change from masters to slaves, from kings to ministers, and so on, and in this way, their hearts will be resentful, and leaving them behind is leaving behind a curse. Another person stepped forward, bowed his head, and said eloquently, this person is Uncle Kang, the brother of King Wu of Zhou.
"According to what Aiqing said, how should the heirs of the Yin Shang royal family be placed?" King Wu of Zhou leaned forward and asked in a slow and gentle voice.
"Punish it as much as possible, so as to prevent me from suffering after the people of the Great Zhou!" Jiang Ziya did not raise his head, his tone was unquestionable, and he replied affirmatively and resolutely.
"Yes, punish it!" One after another, a few more knelt and knelt in agreement.
King Wu of Zhou twisted his gray beard in his hands, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly upturned, on the surface, King Wu of Zhou did not have any major mood fluctuations, but from the action of twisting his beard, it was clear that he must be struggling and judging violently in his heart.
"No, never!"
Just when King Wu of Zhou was in a very conflicted mood, a sonorous and powerful voice came from among the ministers, and then a person hurried forward and bowed down and pleaded.
"Fourth brother Shudan, get up and talk quickly." King Wu of Zhou was overjoyed, and saw that the person who came was his fellow brother Ji Dan. At this time, when I heard that he had a different opinion, I hurriedly asked him to get up and reply.
"The demise of the Shang Dynasty and the overthrow of Shang were all caused by the cruelty and unkindness of its king, who regarded human life as a mustard and a habit of killing. Now the king destroyed the king in one fell swoop, saved the people from fire and water, and destroyed the tyranny of the king. If the world is not at peace, how can we kill innocents and smear living beings again? Ji Dan spoke earnestly, methodically, not in a hurry, and said what he thought.
"King, the war is extinguished, and the killing is started, how can the subjects of the world be safe?" As soon as Ji Dan finished speaking, an old voice sounded, holding Gong Jie, waving his hands, and not kneeling.
"What Uncle Zhong said is reasonable." When King Wu of Zhou saw this person speak, his face was happy, and he hurriedly walked down the hall, helping the old man with both hands. This old man is none other than the uncle of the king of Xiqi, who was imprisoned in the court song with King Wen back then.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my Zhou Dynasty has won the world, and the world will be governed by benevolence. Now the business is cut down, and the great cause is initially determined. It is reasonable to be gentle all over the world, diligent in government and love the people. Although the sons of the Emperor are their heirs, not all of them are tyrannical and troublemakers, and more of the descendants are not yet adults, if they can dismantle their royal power, disperse their power, and enter the palace south of the Dangshan, educate and raise them, and guide them to goodness, it will be a policy of benevolence and love to the hearts of the people and the subjects. Now, if there is a large-scale massacre and blood stains the Yin capital, it may arouse public resentment and invite even greater disasters. King Wu of Zhou sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were blazing, and his words were serious.
King Wu of Zhou's words not only expressed his true thoughts in his heart, but also thanked King Wen for his benevolent teachings when he was alive. Years of war and resistance to tyranny have exhausted this dying king, and for the son of the royal family who has been hunted down, he wants to be less poisonous, more guidance, benevolent government and soothe the people, so as to calm the world.
"King Shengming! Long live the king, long live, long live! "Ji Dan led the mountain and shouted long live, and the hundreds of ministers in the hall all knelt down and shouted praise.
In the first month of 1046 BC, after King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, he eliminated the Shang Dynasty, seized power, and established the Western Zhou Dynasty. Regarding the political strategy of how to deal with the huge descendants of the royal family of King Zhou, King Wu of Zhou listened to the advice of his compatriot Ji Dan, the fourth brother, to dismantle the old royal regime, disperse the strength of the adult princes, and give them land and cities. The children of the king who are still young are all brought up in the palace of the south courtyard of the king of Hojing.
This political move of King Wu of Zhou won an unprecedented situation of people's hearts and social stability in the politics of the new dynasty that had just been replaced at that time.
