King Xiao appointed Wei as the left history and gave it to him. Around the same year, King Xiao ordered Tongzhong to be in charge of the affairs of the West Palace, and ordered Yu Jizi to be the person of the Zhou Palace, the king of the Si Dynasty, and to seal Uncle Yi as the master of the Bojia family of Mi (now Lantian Realm).
In the fifth year of King Xiao of Zhou, Xirong sent an envoy to the court and offered 100 good horses. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, horses have become an important strategic resource of the country, whether it is sacrifice, farming, or war, a large number of good and strong horses are needed. However, the development of horse breeding in the Zhou Dynasty has been slow, and many high-quality horses have been bought. Most of the 100 horses donated by Xijon this time were mares. King Xiao of Zhou was very happy, rewarded the envoys, and gave many gifts such as grain and cloth in return.
King Xiao ordered Feizi to raise horses for the royal family. In order to develop the dynasty's horse breeding industry, King Xiao of Zhou asked Feizi to go to Wang (now Huangshan in the southwest of Longxian County, Shaanxi) and Wei (in the northwest of Longxi County, Gansu) to raise horses for the Zhou royal family.
King Xiao opened up special pastures to ensure the supply of horses to the Zhou Dynasty, which provided a reliable guarantee for the eventual removal of the military threat of ethnic minorities, and also served as a military deterrent to the vassal states within the Zhou Dynasty and strengthened the ruling power of the Zhou Dynasty.
In the winter of the seventh year of King Xiao of Zhou, there was an abnormal weather of thunderstorms, and the Yangtze River and the Han River flooded, which was considered a bad omen. It was later confirmed that King Zhou Li was born in this year.
In the eighth year of King Xiao of Zhou, Feizi raised horses for the royal family for three years, and the number of horses increased greatly, creating a great wealth for the Western Zhou Dynasty. After hearing about it, King Xiao personally went to the horse farms in the area of Huang and Wei to inspect and hunt. King Xiao of Zhou was confined to Qinyi (Qinting Town, Qingshui County, Tianshui, Gansu) because of his meritorious work in raising horses, established the State of Qin, and was a vassal (doctor) of Zhou, known as Qin Huan, that is, Ying's surname was Qin. According to the regulations of the Zhou rites, its fief was the same as that of the Chu State, with a radius of less than 50 li.
A brief analysis of the lineage of Qin and Zhao, both of them are surnamed Ying, a branch of Xu, and the founding ancestor of Xu is Boyi who assisted Dayu to control the water, at the end of Shang, the branch of Xu Fei Lian, evil to be the king of Zhou, and his descendants participated in the rebellion of the three prisons, and then were suppressed and moved to Yi (Ji County, Tianshui County, now southwest of Gangu County, Tianshui, Gansu).
After more than 100 years, when King Mu, the father of the fourth grandson of Fei Lian was sealed to Zhaocheng (Hongdong County, Linfen, Shanxi) because of his merits, that is, the ancestor of Zhao when the three families were divided into Jin. This branch is known as the Ying surname Zhao.
And the non-son of the fifth grandson of Evil Lai, that is, the non-son of the sixth grandson of Feilian, was sealed to Qinyi (Qinting Town, Qingshui County, Tianshui, Gansu), that is, the Qin State that later unified the six countries, and this branch was called the Ying surname Qin.
The daughter of Xu Xuan of Xirong and the ancestor of Shenhou mentioned in the text gave birth to a son named Zhongwei. After Zhongyan established the Hu State, there were several generations of monarchs until the monarch Da Luo. He and Shenhou's daughter gave birth to a son-in-law, and the daughter of the Ying family, gave birth to a concubine and a son. According to the modern tradition, non-sons should follow their father's surname, but in the pre-Qin era, there was no systematic family name naming method, and it was normal to have the father's surname, the mother's surname, and even the place and country as the surname.
year, the ninth year of King Xiao of Zhou, has not completed the great cause of the Zhou room, the ambition of the unpaid King Xiao of Zhou, nicknamed King Xiao, buried in Bi (Xianyang, Shaanxi). The history books say that "benevolence and love are called filial piety", so he is called the king of filial piety.
The son of King Yi of Zhou, the nephew of King Xiao of Zhou, succeeded to the throne by the late prince Ji Xie, who was the king of Zhou Yi.
The accession to the throne of King Xiao of Zhou is a special case in the history of succession to the throne of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a product of specific historical conditions, and the result of internal and external troubles in the Western Zhou Dynasty. After the death of King Xiao, the succession to the throne of the Western Zhou Dynasty was restored to the primogeniture system. This system not only affected the entire Zhou dynasty, but also the succession system of later dynasties. It was precisely because of the perfect succession system of the Western Zhou Dynasty that the Zhou Dynasty avoided the struggle for the throne for a certain period of time and maintained internal stability for a long time.
Although King Xiao of Zhou violated the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty, he made great efforts to deal with the threat of Xirong to the Zhou Dynasty, and to a certain extent, the national strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty was restored. After his death, he called him "filial piety", which is the best summary of his contributions during his reign. Despite this, King Xiao of Zhou's destruction of the Zhou rites meant that the Zhou rites began to gradually collapse, laying the groundwork for the decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period.
King Yi of Zhou, reigned for years.
King Zhou Yi, surnamed Ji, named Xie.
Grandfather: Zhou Gong Wang Ji Hu
Uncle and grandfather: Zhou Xiao Wang Ji Pifang
Father: Zhou Yi Wang Ji
Son: Zhou Li Wang Jihu
Grandson: Zhou Xuanwang Jijing
In the first month of the year, after the death of his uncle and grandfather King Xiao, King Yi of Zhou finally obtained the long-lost throne and became the ninth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
In the second year of King Zhou Yi, Shu State, Lu State Shu State and Lu State sent envoys to pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty and present Qiongyu to King Zhou Yi, who received guests on the side of the Yellow River.
In the third year of King Zhou Yi, Ji Yanghou, the monarch of Ji State, slandered King Zhou Yi and framed Qi Aigong, the monarch of Qi State.
King Yi of Zhou invited all the princes to cook Qi Aigong in Ding, and changed Lu Jing, the brother of Qi Aigong, as the king, for Qi Hu Gong.
Cooking in Ding is a form of torture in ancient times in which the torturer stripped the prisoner naked, pushed him into a large pot as tall as an adult, and cooked it on a firewood fire. Most of the prisoners died from burns, and some even burned all over their bodies.
This move by King Yi of Zhou made the princes of all walks of life more and more alienated from the central power of the Zhou Dynasty.
In the sixth year of King Yi of Zhou, King Yi hunted in Shelin and captured a rhinoceros.
In the seventh year of King Zhou Yi, King Zhou Yi sent Ji Zibai, the monarch of the State of Zhou, to lead six divisions to attack the dog Rong of Taiyuan, who disobeyed the king's orders and often came to intrude, until Yuquan and obtained thousands of horses.
King Xiao's great cause of prosperity was wiped out with his death. During the reign of King Yi, the decline of the Zhou Dynasty became increasingly obvious, and the restraining power of the central power of the Zhou Dynasty on the princes became smaller and smaller, and the respect of the princes for the central power of the Zhou Dynasty was not out of fear, but due to the influence of Zhou rites. This is the powerful power of Zhou Li, but as the power of the princes gradually grows, the restraining power of Zhou Li is also getting smaller and smaller.
Some vassal states with different surnames, taking advantage of the decline of the country, did not come to the court to pay tribute, and even attacked the Zhou royal family, raised troops and rebelled, and their attitude was very arrogant, and Xiong Qu, the monarch of Chu, was one of the representatives. Xiong Qu transgressed the system, imitated Zhou Tianzi, and made his three sons kings.
In the Xia and Zhou dynasties, crocodiles were widely distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River basin. The descendants of the Yellow Emperor surnamed Yao were sealed in Ning County, Linfen Township, Shanxi, because the tribe mainly made a living by catching crocodiles, and took crocodiles as totems, they took crocodiles as the name of the tribe and called the country of Hubei.
