The credit of the father and son was attributed to Xi Zhong by later generations, and the appearance of the carriage was no less than the contribution of the "Four Great Inventions", and Xi Zhong was respected as the god of the car. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But it must not be considered that their father and son were the first people in the world to invent the horse-drawn carriage, or even whether they were really the first people in China.

Since then, the Xi Zhong clan has been the leader of the Dongyi tribe for generations, and has served as Che Zheng in the Xia court, which can be said to be a generation of nobles. Until Zhong Yu is no exception.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn Period": "There is a girl from the Yu family who picks mulberry, and the baby is in the empty mulberry, and the mother lives in Yishui, and her life is called Yiyin." ”

Yiyin was originally an orphan and was abandoned in the mulberry forest of Kongsang Village (also known as Yiyin Village, Gegang Town, Kaifeng Z County, HN) as soon as he was born. A woman from the Yu clan came to Sanglin to pick mulberry, found the baby, adopted it, and took Yishui, the place where she lived, as her surname, and her real name was Ah Heng.

There is Yu's, also known as You's Ji's, there are Xin's, Jifang, Jiguo, Yuguo, Xinguo.

侁, 姺, 莘, the pronunciation is the same, shēn, is a fake word.

The Xin clan is the ruling tribe of the Emperor Yu period, the clan is rich in beautiful women, because of the noble birth, the inheritance is long, all the vassal states are willing to marry the women of the Xin clan as wives and concubines.

Xia Yu's mother was also Kun's wife, Xiu Ji, the daughter of Youxin, and later Tang, Shang and Zhou Wen also intermarried with Youxin.

Xia Qifeng had the Xin clan as the princes, and the location was in Xincheng (HN, Shangqiu, MQ County, to continue the incense of the Emperor Gaoxin. The country is rich in beautiful women, and because of their noble birth and long heritage, all the vassal states are willing to marry women from the Xin clan as wives and concubines. Including Tang, King Shang and King Wen of Zhou.

Yi Yin is diligent and studious, not only has a wealth of knowledge but is also proficient in various chores, especially cooking.

Yi Yin thinks that Tang can achieve great things and wants to devote himself to business, but he has no way.

He heard that Tang was going to marry the daughter of the Youxin clan, so he took the initiative to join the Youxin clan and was willing to be a slave for the dowry.

After Tang and Youxin got married, Yi Yin became the head chef of Tang with his single-handed cooking skills.

After working as a chef for a while, Yi Yin deliberately made the dishes sometimes delicious, and sometimes salty or bland in order to make the soup discover. Once, when Tang questioned him about this matter, he took the opportunity to talk to Tang about his views on governing the country. Tang was amazed, knowing that he was a virtuous man, so he exempted him from the status of a slave and appointed him as the right minister. Tang thought that Yi Yin could assist him in seizing the world, so he gave the name Yin, Yin is the meaning of righteousness. Hence the name Yiyin.

Shang Tang went to see Yi Yin and asked the disciple surnamed Peng to drive for him. At that time, the Great Peng State, which was very influential in Dongyi, had already fallen to Tang, so many children surnamed Peng devoted themselves to business as officials.

The disciple surnamed Peng asked Shang Tang halfway through, "Where are you going?" Shang Tang replied, "I will go to see Yi Yin." Because of his noble birth, the disciple surnamed Peng said unconvinced: "Yi Yin is just a person in the world who has been a slave." If you must see him, just order him to be summoned and ask him, and he will be in favor!"

SenseTime said, "That's not what you know. If there is a medicine here now, and after taking it, my ears will be more sensitive and my eyes will be brighter, then I will definitely like it and try to take it. Now Yi Yin is like a good doctor for my country, and you don't want me to see Yi Yin, this is because you don't want me to be good!" So he told the child surnamed Peng to go down and didn't let him drive.

Since then, under Yi Yin's planning, Tang has actively prepared to destroy Xia.

They were all very talented, and when they saw the tyranny of the Xu, the cruelty of the people, and the fact that they did not care about production, they only knew about sexual pleasure, which caused the curses of the people and the rebellion of the princes, and they knew that the end of the Xia Dynasty was not far off. They wanted to relieve the suffering of the people, and they could only do it by supporting a powerful prince and overthrowing the rule of the people. They saw that Shang's power was the most powerful among the vassal states in the East, and they thought that Shang Tang was an ideal prince, so they came to Shang Tang through different channels.

Tang is a gentleman who knows talents, and appoints two people as the left and right ministers. With the assistance of Zhong Yu and Yi Yin, Shang Tang first managed the interior and encouraged the people in the Shang-ruled area to farm and raise livestock with peace of mind. At the same time, unite the princes and Fang countries that are friendly with business. Under the benevolence and righteousness of Shang Tang and the instigation of Zhong Yu and Yi Yin, some princes rebelled against Xia and returned to Shang, and the number of princes who returned to Shang soon increased to forty, and Shang Tang's power became bigger and bigger.

Politically, Shang Tang first adopted a policy of winning over the people and the country, and launched a political offensive to expose the crimes of tyranny and government, laying a political foundation for the victory of the war.

Yi Yin suggested to Tang: "Xia Ziyu has been founded for more than 400 years, and King Xia is the revered co-lord of the world - the Son of Heaven. Although he was tyrannical and unreasonable, and the people were resentful, he still had prestige among the princes, so he could not be cut down quickly, and he could only wait for the opportunity to act again. "It's just that we can't rush to send troops to attack Xu, but we must accumulate more strength, continue to weaken the forces that support the Xia Dynasty, and wait for the opportunity. Tang accepted Yi Yin's proposal, and in terms of military strategy, with the strong assistance of the virtuous ministers Yi Yin and Zhong Yu, he skillfully planned, "first for the invincible", and adopted the strategic policy of cutting off the wings of the Xuqi one by one and isolating the Xia Hou clan.

Originally, Shang had been granted the power of "special expedition" by the Xia Dynasty, and he wanted to conquer who could send troops without the approval of the Xia king. But what Tang was preparing to conquer was not an ordinary Hou, but the Xia Dynasty, which ruled the whole country. In order to weaken the power of the Xia Dynasty, remove the obstacles to the destruction of Xia, and win more princes to oppose Xia, he first started with Ge, a neighbor of Shang.

Ge Guo (hn Shangqiu NL County is a Fang country in the west of Bo, which is not large in the Fang State to which the Xia Dynasty belongs, and is the territory of the son of Boyi, which is enshrined in the incense of Ge Tian, one of the ruling tribes of the Fuxi clan in ancient times. Ge Bo was faithful to the Followers and was the eyes and ears of the Followers in the vassal states of the East. Tang was afraid that Ge Bo would hinder him from destroying Xia and reported his activities to Xu, so he wanted to win for Ge Bo to stop working for Xuqi and help Shang destroy Xia. Ge Bo is a lazy person, and he is unwilling to carry out even the sacrifices to the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, which are regarded as major national events. When Tang learned that Gerber had not held a sacrifice for a long time, he sent messengers to inquire why. Ge Bo was very cunning, and knew that Shang's animal husbandry was well developed, and there were a large number of cattle and sheep, so he said: "It's not that we don't understand the importance of sacrifice, but we have to use many cattle and sheep for each sacrifice.

When Tang heard the messenger report that the reason why Ge Bo did not hold the sacrifice was that there were no livestock, he sent a group of fat cattle and sheep to send to Ge Bo. When Ge Bo saw that Shang Tang believed his lies, he actually got a lot of cattle and sheep, so he killed all the cattle and sheep and ate them, but still did not sacrifice.
