readx;? After the collapse of King Zhao of Zhou, he did not mourn the princes, and the princes of the clan supported the eldest son of King Zhao of Zhou, Ji Man, to succeed him as King Mu of Zhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The historical fact that King Zhao of Zhou conquered the Chu State in the south and was defeated and died was not a human factor, but a sudden earthquake disaster. The Zhou people believed in the Mandate of Heaven, and the historians took an evasive attitude towards the earthquake that meant heavenly punishment and led to the death of Zhou Tianzi, and vaguely said that "the southern tour will not return". It was to avoid social turmoil after the truth about the death of King Zhao of Zhou was announced, and to shake the foundation of the ideological rule of the Zhou people. If the truth of this matter is known to the princes of the world, the Zhou Dynasty's long-standing claim that "the true dragon is the son of heaven, and the imperial power is divinely granted" will be seriously questioned.

From the performance of King Mu of Zhou in later generations, although King Zhao died in Chu, the expansion of the Zhou Dynasty to the south has been completed by King Zhao of Zhou.

Sima Zhen's "Historical Records Suoyin": "If you don't return the southern tour, you can't attach a suit." Due to the obscurity of the Zhou people, there is not much content about the positive side of King Zhao in the official history, but the "History Wall Plate" unearthed in Zhou Yuan in 1970 gave a positive evaluation to King Zhao of Zhou. The inscription reads: "King Zhao of Honglu, widely criticized Jing Chu, and only hunted south", which made a completely positive evaluation of King Zhao's southern expedition.

Although King Zhao of Zhou received the following historical evaluation, he brought about the destruction of the Western Sixth Division and had a far-reaching impact on Zhou's internal affairs. Originally, after the disbandment of the Eighth Division of Yin, the power of the princes increased and the power of the central Zhou became more and more obvious, and the Western Sixth Division, which originally supported the monarch the most, collapsed, leaving the military strength of the central Zhou only the Eighth Division of the Zhou Dynasty controlled by the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao.

And it was under the support of the remaining eight divisions of the Cheng Zhou that Zhou Mugong was able to ascend the throne, but the power of the central Zhou was not much left, and the military strength of the princes had begun to surpass the Zhou Dynasty in general.

King Mu of Zhou, reigned for years.

King Mu of Zhou, surnamed Ji, is full of names.

Father: Zhou Zhao Wang Ji Fang

Mother: Behind the room

Wife: Lady Sheng Ji, Queen Yan Jiang

Sons: Ji Yihu (King Gong of Zhou), Ji Pifang (King Xiao of Zhou), Ying Baozong

Daughter: Uncle?

In the first month of the year, King Zhou Zhao's son King Mu of Zhou inherited the throne of the Western Zhou Dynasty and was the fifth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

King Mu of Zhou was placed under the auspices of the Duke of Zhou, Duke Zhao (not the first generation) and the Eighth Master of the Cheng Zhou Dynasty, and he built the Zhao Palace as his dormitory in Zong Zhou, which seems to indicate that King Mu of Zhou was by no means a thrifty emperor. King Mu of Zhou confirmed the previous decision of the Duke of Zhou and officially appointed Xin Boyu as the Marquis of Xizhai (present-day Longxian, Gansu).

King Mu of Zhou, with the assistance of Zhou and Zhao Ergong, based on the eight divisions of Cheng Zhou, re-established a new central army, known as the Seven Elites. The Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou is still under the control of Cheng Zhou's Zhou and Zhao Ergong. In fact, the foundation of the Seven Elites is not solid, and it is far inferior to the original Western Sixth Division.

In winter and October, King Mu of Zhou built a palace in Nanzheng. This Nanzheng is not the same place as the current Nanzheng in Hanzhong, located in Xinmi City, Zhengzhou, Henan. At that time, the Western Zhou Dynasty had not yet formed an effective rule over the Hanzhong region, and it belonged to the barbarian region. Zhengzhou Xinmi City belongs to the ancient Yellow Emperor to build the capital, King Zhou Mu admired the Yellow Emperor very much, and even looked for the Yellow Emperor's palace everywhere, so it is understandable that he chose to build the capital Xinmi.

From King Wu to King Mu, he enjoyed the country for a hundred years. King Mu of Zhou and the successive generations of monarchs all had Nanzheng as their capital.

In the spring of the sixth year of King Mu of Zhou, Xu Zi came to the dynasty on his birthday, and Xi was destined to be the uncle.

Zhou Gongdan's two-year Eastern Expedition quelled the rebellion of the Three Eunuchs, destroyed the 17 Eastern Kingdoms, and continued to divide the princes, while Xu Rong still maintained the status of the Eastern Alliance.

After being defeated by the Duke of Zhou, the state of Xu submitted to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the center of its rule shifted from Shandong to the area of present-day Huai and Si. The capital was built in Xucheng (Sihong County, Suqian, Jiangsu). Although his monarch was made a marquis in history, he was demoted to a viscount by the Duke of Zhou. However, the strength of the Xu State did not decrease much, and by the time of King Mu of Zhou, it became strong again.

King Xu Yan, surnamed Xu, was born. The monarch of the State of Xu in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

According to legend, the palace man of the 31st Xu Jun was pregnant in October, and when he gave birth, he laid a meat egg. Xu Jun thought it was an ominous thing and ordered someone to abandon it to the waterfront. Xu Jun's family has a dog named Hucang, who brought back the meat eggs on the abandoned waterfront and bit the egg skin, and there was a boy in the egg, which was the later King Xu Yan.

According to the old chronicles: "Wang Sheng had a different appearance...... The eye cannot shrink to the smallest things, but to see far away. Xunzi Zhuyun: 'Its shape is Yanyang, so it is called Yanyan. ’”

Because of the merit of saving the Yan King, the Yan King treated him well and raised it until he died.

According to the old chronicles: "Hu Cang is about to die, the head has horns and nine tails, and the yellow dragon is also covered." In the burial of Xuli, there are ridges. The place where the dog is buried was called "Dragon Dun", also known as "Hu Cang Mound", and the common people called it "Dog Grave".

Because Hu Cang became a nine-tailed yellow dragon when he died, the burial place was called "Dragon Pier".

The people of Xuli also have great respect for Hucang, think that Hucang is a symbol of auspiciousness, for thousands of years, people worship it, pray for its blessing wind and rain, abundant harvest of grains, peace and auspiciousness, add soil to Hucang's mound from generation to generation, and now the site of "Longdun" still stands tall in the territory of Chenwei Township, Sihong County.

The legends of thousands of years ago are different, of course, they cannot be fully believed, but the longevity of these legends can reflect that King Xu Yan was supported and respected by the broad masses of the people at that time.

year, the eighth year of King Mu of Zhou, the guest of the Northern Tang Clan, dedicated a horse, is a good horse (a good horse with a very fast speed).

The Northern Tang Dynasty was originally the Northern Tang Kingdom (Jinyang, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan, Shanxi), one of the subject states of Shang, located in the northern part of the Southern Tang Dynasty. On the occasion of the Shang Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Tang Dynasty perished with the Shang, and then its people mostly took the name of the old country "Northern Tang as the surname", and most of the Northern Tang Dynasty was referred to as the single surname Tang and Bei after the provincial language, among which the Tang family was the majority, and it was passed down from generation to generation, and the ancestor of the surname was more than respecting Emperor Yao.

year, the ninth year of King Zhou Mu, King Zhou Mu built the Spring Palace.

year, the eleventh year of King Zhou Mu, King Zhou Mu ordered the sacrifice (country) of the public to seek his father as a secretary.

Dog Rong, a branch of Xirong, whose ruling class is a branch surnamed Jiang, also known as a lynx? [xiǎnyun], 畎狗, Kunyi, 绲夷, Lirong, Rongman, mainly active in the area of present-day Shaanxi and Gansu, between Qi and Qi.

By the time of King Mu of Zhou, the dog Rong gradually became large, posing a threat to Shaanxi, the hometown of the Shang Dynasty.

In October, the twelfth year of King Mu of Zhou, King Mu of Zhou drank wine on the top of the mountain. On October 13 (Wuyin Day), King Mu of Zhou went north to hunt, in fact, to go on an expedition to the dogs.

The minister's priest proposed that he disagreed with the expedition, and advocated the implementation of the policy of "Yaode does not watch the army" during the reign of King Wen, that is, to obtain the "deserted clothes" of the dog Rong by political means (only to worship the king of Zhou on time, no other obligations), but the king of Mu did not accept the suggestion and insisted on the westward expedition.

Mao Gongban, Jing Gongli, and Feng Gonggu Shuai studied under Wang Fa Dog Rong. The army set out from Luoyi, crossed Beizhangshui [鄴县, Linzhang County, Handan, Hebei], and marched north.
