readx;? King Zhou Li was very happy to see this, and told Zhaogong: "I can eliminate the people's discussion of me, and the people will no longer dare to complain." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhao Gong said: "This is just to block their words back." Plugging the mouths of the people is more harmful than blocking the rivers. If there is too much water, if the river bursts, many people will be harmed, and the same is true for not allowing the people to speak. Therefore, those who govern the water should dredge the rivers so that the water flows smoothly, and those who govern the people should be open to their speeches so that the people dare to speak.

Therefore, when the Son of Heaven governs the country, he should make sure that all the ministers and the lower ranks can present poems that satirize the gains and losses of the court and government, the musicians present the music that reflects the people's feelings, the historians present the historical books on the pros and cons of the gains and losses of the previous generations, and the Taishi can present exhortatory words, which are then recited and read by the blind musicians. Hundreds of officials can directly give advice, commoners can convey their opinions to the Son of Heaven, the left and right ministers must fulfill the responsibility of admonishment, relatives and relatives should investigate and make up for the mistakes of the Son of Heaven, and musicians and Taishi should be responsible for teaching and educating the Son of Heaven. The old ministers gathered and sorted out the opinions of various parties, and then the king considered the trade-offs. In this way, the implementation of political affairs will be very smooth and will not go against common sense.

The people have mouths, just as the land has mountains and rivers, and the wealth of mankind is generated from here. The people have mouths, just as the land has fertile fields, and the people's clothes and food are produced from here. When the people speak out of their mouths, and the good things are carried out, and the evil things are stopped, this is the one that produces wealth and food. The people will say whatever they think in their hearts, and they will do what they think in their hearts. If you plug their mouths, how many people will agree with you and follow you?" King Zhou Li couldn't listen to any dissuasion at all.

The people hated King Zhou Li very much, and hundreds of officials were also under the supervision of the corpse, and the central power of Zhou was unprecedentedly weak.

In the eleventh year of King Li of Zhou, Xirong invaded the Zhou realm again at this time, plundered the residents of the Zhou realm, and even invaded the surrounding area of the Zhou capital Huaili (dog hill, also known as waste hill, southeast of Xingping City, Xianyang, Shaanxi). The nobles of Zhou did not want to contribute to King Li, and they no longer had the collective efforts they had when they dealt with Huaiyi before, and King Li of Zhou was unable to return to the sky, and the nobles took the opportunity to resist King Li's incompetence. This defeat wiped out the previous impact on the victory of the Huaiyi War, and the Chinese people were completely disappointed.

In the twelfth year of King Zhou Li, the people of Haojing gathered under the secret instigation of some nobles, armed with weapons, and rushed to the palace in a turbulent torrent to kill King Zhou Li. When King Zhou Li heard the news, he fled from Haojing in a panic and fled along Weishui until he reached Yi (belonging to Huo State, Linfen Huozhou City, Shanxi).

The countrymen attacked the palace and did not find King Zhou Li, but turned to look for the crown prince (Ji Jing). Zhao Mu Gong hid the prince Jing, and the people surrounded Zhao Mu Gong's house and wanted to call Mu to take the bus out of the prince. Zhao Gong said: "I have advised the king many times before, but the king did not listen, which is why this disaster was caused. If I kill the crown prince now, won't the king think that I treat him as an enemy and vent my resentment? Those who serve the monarch, even if they are in danger, cannot hate and resent, and even if they blame, they cannot be angry, let alone serve the Son of Heaven?"

Mo Zhai's "Mozi": "The tyrannical king, the tyrant, the ghostly, and the powerful, and the people of the world who are evil, take the lead in criticizing the heavens and insulting the ghosts, and there are many thieves, so the natural disasters make them lose their country, and their bodies are only in the world, and the descendants of future generations will destroy them, and they will not stop until now." ”

Sima Qian's "Historical Records": "It is faint and faint, and it is mournful. ”

"Wang Yizhengbu": "Secluded, Li Lile collapsed, the princes were in power, and they were swallowed up, virtue could not be conceived, and power could not be controlled." ”

In order to maintain political power, any ruler will kill people, but the degree is different, why does King Zhou Li have this name exclusively? Here we might as well compare King Zhou Li with several other famous faint monarchs in history, and we will find the problem:

The people's conclusions have specific contents: "If you do not practice morality, you will hurt the people by force, and the people will be worthy"; "If you are good at wine and lewdness, you will be happy with women", and "you will use wine as a pool and county meat as a forest." The pursuit of a personal life is the common denominator of all tyrannical emperors, but for King Zhou Li, the "Chinese" only contains his "abuse", and there is no record of the extravagance and corruption of his personal life and the abuse of people's power.

In the Qing Dynasty, Wei Yuan's statement summarized the situation of the two kings of Yu and Li more intensively, and "Shi Guwei" said: "The evil of Yu Li is no greater than that of the villain, and the evil of Yu Zeyan and the Xian Temple are all confusing the soft and evil people; The ancients called the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he was called by the secluded king, and he was in front of the seclusion, and there was a slight difference in the derogation, because the sins of the king of Zhou You were much more specific than the king of Zhou Li. The "Xinjiang Emperor" mentioned by Wei Yuan refers to the secretary of King Zhou Li and the eldest father of Duke Yu who was in charge of military expeditions; the "Hack" he refers to another secretary of King Zhou Li and the Duke of Rongyi, who was in charge of finance. Calling the two "people with strong and evil minions" shows the resolute attitude of these two henchmen of King Zhou Li when implementing reforms.

Zhou Liwang was a reformer who faced a "difficult situation to return", and he carried out reforms in politics, economy, military, and law. But his opposition was the powerful old aristocracy, coupled with his inexperience, and the reform involved the interests of too many people, so that the aristocracy was dissatisfied, and even the "countrymen" opposed it. He carried out a failed reform, but his lessons will be of great benefit to future generations of reformers.

Gongbohe, reigned for years.

The Republic of China, a vassal state surnamed Ji, is located in Huixian City, Xinxiang, Henan. The monarch of the republic is the earl, surnamed Ji, and the first name and.

After the riot, the government fell into chaos, King Li could not get the support of the ministers and the people, the crown prince Ji Jing was "killed", in fact, the son of Zhaogong died, but he could not make a noise. Although the two prime ministers of Zhaogong and Zhou Gong have real power, they do not want to get the reputation of usurping the throne, so although they temporarily preside over the government, they still hope to elect a new lord as soon as possible.

In this case, Zhao Gong and Zhou Gong convened many princes and clansmen surnamed Ji to discuss the disposition, and finally reached an agreement, and publicly recommended the Gongbo and the Regent of Heaven (known as the Republic).

year, the thirteenth year of King Li of Zhou, the first year of the republic, Gongbo and the official regent, and King Li was demoted to King Fen because he lived in Yu, there was Fenshui here, and he was actually placed under house arrest here.

In the fourteenth year of King Li of Zhou, in the second year of the Republic, a part of the Dog Rong invaded the territory of Zong Zhou (Feng Hao, Hao Jing), plundered the property and population around Hao Jing, and even approached the west city wall of Hao Jing, which was repelled by the minister Wu Gong and Duoyou.
