"What?"

"A turnaround?"

"Can the State of Chu really dominate the Central Plains?"

Just when everyone thought that Chu Guo was not playing, Chen Fan's sudden words once again made everyone excited.

Chen Fan continued: "Although the Chu State had some bad luck on the road to hegemony, the first time I met the Duke of Qi Huan, and later I met the Duke of Jin Wen. However, although the desire of Chu to compete for hegemony at this time was not realized, the strength of Chu was still very strong. Even if it was defeated by the Jin State in the Battle of Pucheng, this did not eliminate the main force of the Chu State, but only stopped the pace of the Chu State from moving north. ”

"In the forty-sixth year of King Chu Cheng, that is, in 626 BC, King Cheng of Chu Cheng wanted to abolish the prince and merchant, and replace the crown prince. Shang Chen got the news but it was not confirmed, so his teacher Pan Chong gave him an idea to set up a banquet for Jiang Mi, the sister of King Chu Cheng, and deliberately provoked her. As a result, Jiang Mi was very angry, and said angrily, cheap thing, no wonder the monarch wants to abolish you. After Jiang Mi got the news here, the merchant sent a large army into the palace and forced King Chu Cheng to commit suicide. King Chu Cheng said to Shang Chen, can you let me eat a bear paw before I die? Shang Chen knew that this was King Chu Cheng's attempt to delay time. Without consent, on the same day, King Chu Cheng hanged himself, and Shang Chen also took over the position of King Chu Cheng for King Chu Mu. ”

Yes.

The position of the monarch of Chu is different from that of other Central Plains vassal states, many times the son kills the father, the father kills the son, or the younger brother kills the elder brother, and the elder brother kills the younger brother.

Although this kind of thing happened in other vassal states, in the state of Chu, such things happened too much.

It's okay.

The literary style of the Chu State decides, even if the son kills his father and takes the throne of the monarch, they govern the country quite well.

After King Chu Mu became the monarch of Chu, he further inherited the legacy of the ancestors of Chu, so that the territory of Chu continued to expand northward. Strictly speaking, King Chu Mu can be regarded as a decent monarch, at least a qualified monarch. However, his reign was somewhat short, only 12 years. After the death of King Chu Mu, his eldest son Xiong Lu succeeded to the throne as King Chu Zhuang. ”

However, King Chuzhuang was less than 20 years old when he succeeded to the throne, but this King of Chuzhuang was different from the monarchs of Chu in previous dynasties. Although the monarchs of Chu have done many rude things, they are relatively enlightened in the governance of Chu, and they have made achievements, and there have even been many famous monarchs. However, after the king of Chu Zhuang succeeded to the throne, he has always been lustful and does not ask about political affairs, which also makes the internal contradictions of the entire Chu State more prominent. ”

This time.

A group of fans in the live broadcast room have already sold up.

"No, could it be that there is a faint king?"

"Didn't you say that the poor boy wants to marry Bai Fumei, the Chu State is getting worse and worse now."

"When will the state of Chu be able to dominate, is this going to be the time of the Warring States?"

For this.

Chen Fan naturally knew what everyone was thinking.

In fact.

When King Chuzhuang first succeeded to the throne, many people were not optimistic about him.

Chen Fan continued: "Although the King of Chu Zhuang is very mediocre, there are still countless loyal, virtuous and idle ministers in the Chu State. Among them was a doctor named Wu Hao, who risked his life to find the king of Chuzhuang. King Chuzhuang was drinking and having fun at this time, and when he saw Wu Hao coming, he said, "Does the doctor want to drink when he comes here?" Wu Hao said, someone asked me to guess a mystery, but I couldn't guess it, so I came to ask the king to see if the king could guess it. King Chuzhuang said, you say come and see. Wu Hao said that there was a big bird in the Chu State, perched on the court, which lasted three years, he didn't fly or call, many people said that he was a big stupid bird, the king, guess what kind of bird is such a bird that doesn't sing or fly? ”

After hearing this, King Chuzhuang immediately understood what Wu Hao meant. He said, Ah, this bird, it has not flown for three years, and it has soared into the sky. Three years without a hit, a blockbuster. ”

This is where the idiom comes from.

When this story came out, in an instant, many students screamed out.

"I didn't fly for three years, and I soared into the sky. Three years without a hit, a blockbuster. ”

"I'll go, this King of Chuzhuang, is this going to be opened?"

"Ahhh

Whoever sees such a story will also be inspired by such a story.

In fact.

The legendary life of King Chuzhuang began here.

Chen Fan continued: "Actually, King Chuzhuang is not a person who likes pleasure. Although he was less than 20 years old, when he succeeded to the throne, he keenly discovered that the domestic contradictions in Chu were very big at this time. Although he is the king of a country, he cannot speak in many places. In this way, it is better to keep quiet and secretly observe who is available and who is the person who endangers the Chu State. During these three years, King Chuzhuang figured out the situation in the country. So he reused Wu Hao, Su Cong and others, and when Yongguo came to offend, he directly eradicated a series of forces within Chu that hindered the royal power. ”

At this time, a student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Chen Fan, where do you seem to have heard of this Wu Hao." ”

"His name did be mentioned before."

Chen Fan smiled slightly: "Do you remember Wu Zixu?" ”

Let's talk about Wu Zixu.

Everyone suddenly remembered.

Yes.

At that time, Wu Zixu was a native of Chu, and he fled to Wu because his parents and brothers were killed by the king of Chu.

Chen Fan explained: "This Wu Hao is Wu Zixu's grandfather, that is, his grandfather. ”

"Damn, I didn't expect Wu Hao to be Wu Zixu's grandfather."

"No wonder Wu Zixu's family is a loyal minister, it turns out that he was so loyal during the reign of King Chuzhuang."

Why history is so interesting.

That is, the character in history is not fiction, he is real.

Not only is it real, but through a character, you can also know the whereabouts of their children and grandchildren backwards.

In it, you can see the history of the rise and fall of a country.

Similarly, the rise and fall of a family can also be seen.

And the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are much more interesting than other dynasties.

Because he has been long enough, he has experienced enough things, and the whole story is legendary enough.

"After King Chuzhuang quelled the internal contradictions and the rebellion of the vassal state Yongguo, King Chuzhuang began to plan to go north to Tuhe. Yes, whether the monarchs of Chu are the successors to the throne or those who rebel and seize the throne, they have always had only one goal, that is, to return to the Central Plains. Although the countries of the Central Plains have always refused to recognize the status of the Chu State, they do not think that the people of the Chu State are the Central Plains people. However, the Chu people and even the monarch of the Chu State have always remembered that they are actually the same as the Central Plains people, they are not barbarians, they are the real Central Plains people. The Central Plains is their earliest homeland. Therefore, no matter what, as long as it is a monarch who inherits the throne of Chu State, they always want to return to the Central Plains and think of the place where their ancestors lived back then. ”

"At this time, after the Jin State defeated the Chu State before, it was not as strong as ever. After Jin Linggong ascended the throne, Jin Linggong was very brutal, and King Chuzhuang understood that the opportunity had come. So, he sent a large army to the north and successively attacked the Chen State and the Song State. The Jin State attacked the ally of the Chu State, Zheng State, and the King of Chu Zhuang sent [Ziyue Jiao] to save Zheng, but the Jin State did not dare to be an enemy of [Ziyue Jiao]. Eventually, the Jin state signed an alliance with the Zheng state. Although in the midst of this, the state of Chu did not directly engage the state of Jin. But at this time, the strength of the Chu State already had some strength that made the Jin State unable to fight against it. ”

"In the eighth year of King Chu Zhuang, the strength of Chu at this time was no longer what it used to be. Although the Jin State was still a superpower at this time, the Jin State did not dare to provoke the Chu State easily. Not only did the Jin State dare not provoke, but almost all the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period did not dare to provoke the Chu State. And at this moment, the border of Chu was almost to the range of Luoshui. In the name of King Qin, King Chuzhuang attacked [Lu Hun's Rong], that is, a branch of the Dog Rong. And after destroying [Lu Hun Zhirong], King Chuzhuang has reached Luoshui, that is, near Luoyang, the capital of Zhou Tianzi. ”

On the big screen behind Chen Fan, the territory of the Spring and Autumn countries flashed at this time.

Originally, the state of Chu was just a small village less than fifty miles.

Slowly.

With the efforts of the Chu people, the sphere of influence of the Chu State became larger and larger.

Until now.

The national border of Chu is almost drawn to Luoyang.

And when he arrived near Luoyang, King Chuzhuang held a grand military parade. Zhou Tianzi panicked, not knowing that the king of Chu Zhuang did not want to destroy him, so he sent the doctor Wang Sun Man to comfort the king of Chu. When Wang Sunman came, King Chuzhuang suddenly asked, I don't know how much Jiuding Zhou Tianzi has? ”

This is the allusion to the victory.

At that time, Chen Fan once told the story of Jiuding.

Regarding Jiuding, Chen Fan also talked about the king of Chu.

It's just that although Chen Fan said that the king of Chu won the championship and the current victory are the same thing.

But now when everyone heard that King Chu Zhuang had won the championship, everyone could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and roared loudly.

"Winning the championship, it turns out, this is winning the world."

"Ahh

"When Brother Fan told this story, I still despised the arrogance of King Chu. I didn't expect to hear the same story today, but I felt my blood boiling. ”

"yes, so do I. Think about what the situation of the Chu people was back then, and now, the Chu people have truly won the Central Plains. ”

Although the championship has already shown the ambition of King Chuzhuang to covet the world.

But if he didn't have this ability, King Chuzhuang wouldn't be able to do this kind of allusion.

And if you think about what happened to the Chu people back then, you really have an incomparably orgasmic feeling.

"The poor boy finally ushered in the peak of his life."

"Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack."

Countless listeners clenched their fists, they were so excited and excited.

This feeling is like they counterattacking the rich and handsome and going to the pinnacle of life.

Although it is impossible for many people to do this.

But.

People always have to have dreams, don't they?

Not to mention.

The Chu people have already set an example to them.

Facing the victory of King Chuzhuang, Wang Sunman knew the ambition of King Chuzhuang. However, at this time, the state of Chu was too strong and too powerful. Not to mention that they, Zhou Tianzi, who existed in name only, couldn't resist it, even the Jin State, which served as the second overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, didn't dare to take the Chu State? In fact, the Jin State may not be able to win the Chu State. After all, the state of Chu has always been on the offensive and going north, and the state of Jin has at most dispelled the idea of going north from the state of Chu. So Wang Sunman said to the king of Chuzhuang that the importance of the tripod is not in the tripod. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Sunman also explained the origin of Jiuding to King Chuzhuang. Wang Sunman said that Xia Yu implemented moral government, and the princes of various places drew maps of their strange things there and dedicated them to the imperial court, and the governors of Kyushu also paid tribute to metal products. So Xia Yu made these metal products into Jiuding, and cast the shapes of various strange things on them. In this way, the people will not encounter monsters in the mountains, rivers and forests, and will not encounter unpleasant things. Therefore, harmony between the upper and lower levels can be blessed by the heavens. Xia Wei was in a coma, and Jiuding moved to the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty was tyrannical, and Jiuding moved to the Zhou Dynasty. When there are virtues, Ding Xiao is also very heavy; When deviating from virtue, Dingda is also very light. King Cheng of Zhou once divined when he was in Jia, saying that the Zhou Dynasty could be passed down for 30 generations and 700 years. Although Zhou De is declining, the mandate of heaven has not changed. The weight of the tripod is not ...... asked"

Wang Sunman's words made King Chu Zhuang realize that although the state of Chu was strong now, it was not invincible. At this time, in the world, there was the Jin State in front, the Qi State in the east, and the Qin State in the west, and they were all very powerful. After thinking about it, King Chuzhuang withdrew his troops. However, although the king of Chuzhuang retreated. But Wang Sunman's words benefited King Chuzhuang a lot. He immediately understood why the Chu State had gone through more than 400 years, but it had not been recognized by the Central Plains countries and Zhou Tianzi. Why is the state of Chu very strong, but there are not too many vassal states to submit to him?

Just like Wang Sunman's words, the importance of the tripod is not in the tripod. Although the state of Chu was strong, it did not abide by the Zhou rites and had no virtue. Not to mention that the country will be destroyed at every turn, that is, for the position of the monarch at home, it is also killing the monarch and killing the father at every turn. Then there is the king of Chu who claims to be the king without authorization, which is also a matter of disapproval in the world. With such an impudent state of Chu, how could he be recognized by the countries of the Central Plains? ”

Just as the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants said.

Previously, the State of Chu was too rude, even if the State of Chu was the first in the world, all the countries of the Central Plains did not recognize him.

Not only did they not recognize him, but the historians also did not record the status of the Chu State.

Even Confucius, who has always not called the king of Chu the king of Chu, but called the king of Chu the son of Chu, or the people of Chu.

For this reason, after retiring from the army, King Chu Zhuang began to formulate a series of laws for the state of Chu. At the same time, it also allowed the nobles of Chu to learn Zhou etiquette. Moreover, on top of the Zhou ceremony, it continued to develop the unique etiquette and culture of the Chu State. ”

While saying.

A series of excavated artifacts were also displayed on the big screen behind him.

Chen Fan said: "From these unearthed cultural relics, we can see that these cultural relics unearthed in the Chu State continue to retain the characteristics of the etiquette and culture of the Zhou Dynasty, and also highlight the characteristics of their Chu people. This made the culture of Chu gradually prosper, and even later walked in the precedent of a series of countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For example, Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period, their Chu Ci became the most representative cultural symbol of the Warring States Period. ”

At the same time, King Chuzhuang also reused a series of virtuous ministers. For example, Sun Shuao, Sun Shuao was originally born in a small village by the sea. He was very poor when he was young, but Sun Shuao was very virtuous. Once, Sun Shuao came across a two-headed snake, so Sun Shuao killed the two-headed snake and buried him. After returning home, Sun Shuao cried to his mother and told him that he was dying. Mother asked Uncle Sun Ao, how could a good person die. Sun Shuao then said that he had seen the two-headed snake, and he was afraid that others would see it, so he killed the two-headed snake.

Because the legend at the time said that people who saw the two-headed snake would definitely die. Sun Shuao was worried that he would see the two-headed snake and was afraid that others would see it, so he killed the two-headed snake. When my mother heard Uncle Sun Ao's story, she said that for those who are kind, God will definitely bless him. As a result, Sun Shuao saw that the two-headed snake not only did not die. And when he grew up, he also became the Lingyi of the Chu State, that is, the highest official position in the Chu State, equivalent to the prime minister. ”

"Because Uncle Sun Ao's conduct is very noble, even after serving as the Lingyi of the Chu State, he still does not change his ambition. And because Uncle Sun Ao lived by the sea when he was young, he deeply knew the harm of floods. For this reason, Sun Shuao built the Spring and Autumn Period for the Chu State, which was also the first water conservancy project in China [Shaobei]. More than 2,600 years later, Shaobi is still playing a huge role. And it is precisely because of the construction of Shaobi that the national strength of Chu has reached its peak. Once, the king of Chu Zhuang attacked the Song State and besieged the Song State for 9 months, and the grain and grass of the Chu State had not been interrupted, so the strength made the princely states of the Spring and Autumn Period extremely afraid. ”

A generation of heroes has a generation of virtuous ministers to cooperate, and it is not difficult to become the overlord of the world.

At this time, the state of Chu had already embarked on his peak road.

Now.

Chen Fan's talk about anything in the Chu State made everyone applaud and applaud for doing nothing.

But that's not the end of it.

Chen Fan said: "In addition to internal governance, externally, the state of Chu continues to go north. But unlike before, after a conversation with Wang Sunman, this also made King Chu Zhuang understand the flaws of Chu State. If Chu wants to dominate the Central Plains, it is not enough to rely on force, he also has to rely on etiquette and virtue. Just like the Duke of Qi Huan of the Qi State. The strength of the Qi State may not be so strong, but they relied on their virtues and etiquette to crusade against the guilty country for Zhou Tianzi. And the king of Chuzhuang made up his mind that he wanted to emulate Zhou Tianzi's Zhou rites and dominate the Spring and Autumn Period. To put it simply, I'm going to play by your rules and beat you. ”

"In the 16th year of King Chuzhuang, King Chuzhuang led his army to destroy the state of Chen. Generally, according to the previous custom of the Chu State, as long as a certain country was conquered, they would set up counties in a certain country. But at this time, King Chuzhuang was unusual. Not only did he not set up a county in Chen, but he also restored the land of Chen. In the 17th year of King Chu Zhuang, Chu State made a northern expedition to Zheng State. The Chu army besieged Zheng for 17 days, and the king of Zheng asked the king of Chu Zhuang for guilt, and the king of Chu Zhuang reconciled with Zheng Guo. These practices have been praised by various vassal states in the Central Plains, and many vassal states have also begun to attach themselves to the Chu State.

"But this is not enough, because there is another country in the north, the Jin State, which is in front of the Chu State. If you want to dominate, you must defeat the Jin Kingdom. At this time, the king of Chuzhuang went north to the north of Zhengzhou, intending to drink the Yellow River and return to China. At this time, he heard that the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River, and the king of Chuzhuang wanted to withdraw his troops, but at the suggestion of Wu Shen, the king of Chuzhuang decided to fight with the Jin. In this battle, the state of Chu defeated the state of Jin. And the king of Chu Zhuang also realized his dream of drinking the Yellow River, and in this battle, the Jin State was unable to compete with Chu for hegemony. The vassal states of the Central Plains betrayed the Jin state one after another and annexed the Chu state. At this point, King Chuzhuang dominated the Central Plains ......"
