In 1653, the seventh year of Taijia, he had been in Tonggong for two years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yi Yin always pays attention to what Tai Jia is doing in Tong Palace, and his actions have already been reported to Yi Yin. Taijia's repentance and reformation made Yi Yin very happy, so on the first day of the twelfth lunar month of this year, he personally took the minister of civil and military affairs to take Taijia back to the capital Xi'an City, and solemnly returned the power to him.

Yi Yin wore a top hat and a ceremonial dress to welcome the heir Taijia back to the capital Xi'an (Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan), and wrote a letter to the king: "The people cannot live without a monarch and correct each other, and the monarch cannot govern the Quartet without the people. Heaven cares about helping merchants, so that the heir can achieve Junde, it is really the boundless beauty of merchants for all generations!"

The king bowed down and prostrated and said, "My son does not know what is virtuous, and he has caused misdeeds. Lust corrupts the law, and indulgence corrupts the etiquette, and thus brings sin to oneself. Disasters caused by heaven can be avoided, and disasters caused by oneself cannot be escaped. In the past, I violated the teachings of my teacher, and I would not have been strict with myself at the beginning, but I still relied on your support and salvation to achieve what I am now. "Note: Here is the king kowtowing to his ministers, indicating the fact that the king is weak and the minister is strong.

Yi Yin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Pay attention to your own cultivation, and teach your subordinates with the virtue of integrity, you are the Ming Jun." The first king Chengtang had mercy on the poor people, so the people obeyed his teachings and did not dislike him. Even the people of friendly nations and neighbouring countries say, "Wait for our ruler, and when our ruler comes, there will be no evil." The king shall enhance thy virtue, and imitate thy fathers, and shall not slack off in thy pleasure for a moment. Serve the ancestors, think of filial piety, and receive the subordinates, think of respect. To observe the distance, you must be clear-sighted, and to be obedient and virtuous, you must be deaf. In this way, our subjects will be able to live happily ever after under the rule of the Great King. ”

Yi Yin repeatedly admonished the king: "Heaven does not have regular relatives who can worship heaven so that heaven can be close to you; the people do not always belong to a monarch, they belong to a loving monarch; ghosts and gods do not often enjoy food, and they eat to those who can be honest." It's not easy to be in the position of the Son of Heaven!"

"If you use virtuous people, you will be governed, and if you don't use virtuous people, you will be chaotic. There is nothing that does not flourish as the way of the rulers, and there is nothing that does not perish as the methods of the disorderly. From beginning to end, carefully choose your subordinates, and you are a wise monarch. ”

Therefore, the first king tried to cultivate his own virtues, so that he could match God. My king continues to have a good inheritance, and I want to see that!

If you are elevated, be sure to start below, and if you are far away, you must start closer. Do not despise the affairs of the people, but think of its difficulties, and do not delight the throne, but think of its dangers. Be cautious and start from the beginning!"

"Some words that are not in your heart must be considered from moral point, and some words that are in line with your heart must be studied from moral point of view. ”

"Ahh The monarch should not use clever arguments to disturb the old government, and his subordinates should not rely on pride and profit to live in peace. In this way, the country will remain in good times forever. ”

The "Bamboo Book Chronicle" unearthed in the Western Jin Dynasty (recorded by the historians of the Wei State during the Warring States Period) has another judgment about Yi Yin and Taijia. Since the ancient book "Bamboo Book Chronicle" has been scattered in the Song Dynasty, all that can be seen in modern times are the compilations of the Qing Dynasty and the present people. Fang Shiming and Wang Xiuling's "Ancient Bamboo Book Chronicles", from the "Taiping Yulan", "Jin Shu", "Shi Tong", "Anthology", "Tongjian Outer Chronicle" and other bibliographies, contain the text of "Bamboo Book Chronicle":

Yi Yin put Taijia in Tong Nai to stand on his own. About press: Yi Yin is self-reliant, and Gai mistakenly thinks that the regent is true.

In the seventh year, Wang sneaked out of Tong, killed Yi Yin, and for three days of heavy fog, he set up his sons Yi Zhi and Yi Fen, and ordered his father's field house to be divided into parts.

Ten years, feasting in the Taimiao.

The first worship Fang Ming.

That is to say, the early period is basically consistent with the record of the previous Confucian "Shangshu", but the later "Zhushu Chronicle" is different from the "Shangshu", according to the "Zhushu Chronicle": Taijia secretly escaped from the exile of the Tonggong (possibly under house arrest), got the support of the ministers of the court, and attacked and killed Yi Yin, but because of Yi Yin's virtuous name, he set up his son to inherit his title and property.

If it is not credible, why so many people have recorded the accounts of the Bamboo Book Chronicle, and the Bamboo Book Chronicle is a first-hand written source and has no motive to fabricate it. In addition, because the ancient book "Bamboo Book Chronicle" did not conform to the Confucian scriptures, it was scattered in the Song Dynasty, and it was precisely in the Song Dynasty that Confucianism was quite advocated that people were suspicious. It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and I hope that future generations of students will verify it.

The logic of the former is in line with Confucianism, and the logic of the latter is in line with Legalism, and at that time the Wei State was in power for Legalism. At that time, hundreds of schools of thought used ancient stories to prove the correctness of their doctrines, so they made up a lot of ancient history. Therefore, the information at that time was half true and false.

The author draws several conclusions from these two statements:

First, Yi Yin did not kill Taijia, but put it in Tang's cemetery, it is not like an intention to usurp the throne, and the regent is real, but his desire for power must also be great, but he has no ambition to usurp the throne;

Second, with Yi Yin in power and in good order, even if Taijia leaves the penal colony, it is unlikely that he will be supported by his subjects, because he does not have enough prestige to compete with Yi Yin, the prime minister who has ruled the country for 30 years, so it seems that he is not strong enough to attack Yi Yin, and it is not a wise choice to attack rashly;

Third, the "Book of Shang" clearly mentions the time of its reset, the December Shuo (the first day of the first month) of the third year of Taijia (BC1657), and mentions a clear date, which is clearer than the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", so it also has a certain basis. The time recorded in the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" is the seventh year of Taijia (BC1653), and the specific date is not specified, which may be the death rank. The time of the reset, the author combines the two to get the December New Year of Taijia.

From the third point combined with the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", it can be inferred that:

Taijia should have killed Yi Yin after he was reinstated, and he was ostensibly grateful to Yi Yin for his help, but in fact, he had already held a grudge, and the situation of a weak monarch and a strong minister could not last too long. He was just waiting for the right moment, until after a period of successful resumption, he executed Yi Yin and took back power. However, because Yi Yin's merits were too great, he was punished without fault, and there was a heavenly phenomenon and fog for three days, indicating that the people and subjects remembered him, so Taijia had to divide Yi Yin's fields to his two sons to appease the courtiers and the people.

After his death, Yi Yin was buried in Yu (Yucheng County, Shangqiu, Henan).

Yi Yin wrote many articles during his lifetime, and the "Book of Han" recorded fifty-one articles of "Yi Yin" and twenty-seven articles of "Yi Yin Said". "Yuhan Mountain House Collection" has a volume of "Yiyin". In 1973, the silk book unearthed from the No. 3 Han Tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha had 64 lines of "Yiyin".
