Chapter 652: Confucian Sect Master Bu Zixia
On the issue of dealing with the local officials of Wu State, Bu Shang suggested that Qingji should be rotated once in a while, and according to their political achievements, conduct, talent, and reputation, let the officials be strong and weak, and survive the fittest......
This is very much in line with Qingji's consistent statecraft.
In Qingji's opinion, Yibu Shang's current talent is enough to be qualified for any party to guard.
These things are hard to say, though.
Bu Shang's strategy is unique, the handwriting is clear, and the calligraphy is good, but it is still a little immature, at least he did not say how Qingji should start and where to start......
At the age of twelve, it is not easy for a merchant to write such a strategy.
Qingji is very optimistic about the divination merchant in his heart!
Qingji has been in power for many years, and he has been in the top position for a long time, and he has seen countless celebrities and literati, such as Bu Shang has such potential, or unique!
This son will definitely do a lot in the future!
Qingji gave Bu Shang a very high evaluation in his heart.
Bu Shang, Confucius protégé, Jin people......
In Qingji's mind, an amazing figure suddenly appeared, a famous historical figure in the early Warring States period!
"Bu Shang, you just said that you are from Wenyi of the Jin Kingdom?"
"Exactly."
There was some inexplicable look on Bu Shang's face.
He was anxious, and he was originally going to have a "question and answer" with Qingji, specifically discussing how to open up his views and let the officials of Wu State survive the fittest.
Unexpectedly, Qingji would ask about the origin of Bu Shang?
In fact, Qingji knows that the current Bu Shang is young, and he may have political talent, but he lacks political ability.
In other words, his political ability is a little immature and not enough to take on the big responsibility!
Choosing an official is not a trivial matter.
If it is not done well, it will cause a local people to have a poor livelihood and complain......
Wenyi?
Qingji knew where Bu Shang's birthplace was.
In the 21st century B.C., it was named Wenyi because of the hot springs in Wenyi.
After Taikang lost the country, Youping was awarded the title of Wenyi and established the Wen State because of the merit of the Emperor Shaokang of the Zuo Xia Dynasty, and was known as "Wen Pinggong" in history.
In the twenty-sixth year of Xia Wei, the Shang State destroyed the Wen State, and Wenyi became the capital of the Shang Dynasty.
Su Zi, the monarch of Wen Guoguo, was originally a doctor of Zhou.
In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu Ji Fa gave 12 yi, including Wenyi, Zhouyi, and Yuanyi, to the great secretary Kou Su Xinsheng and divided them into Wenguo, and Wenyi once again became the capital of Wen.
The monarch of the state of Wen is called Wenzi, or the monarch Su is called Suzi.
In the second year of King Hui of Zhou (675 B.C.), the rebellion of the prince broke out in the Zhou Dynasty, and Su Zi was one of the five doctors of the Zhou Dynasty who supported the prince's rebellion.
The rebellion was not successful, the five doctors first went to Su Zi's Wenyi, and then Su Zifeng fell out of the country to defend the country, Wei Guo and the Southern Yan Kingdom jointly crusaded against King Zhou Hui, and the prince was set up as the king, and King Zhou Hui was forced to go into exile in Zheng State.
Two years later, Zheng Ligong and the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu crusaded against the prince and killed the five doctors, and Su Zi died from this......
At that time, the state of Wen had not yet perished.
Wen Zi betrayed the Zhou royal family after the prince's rebellion and adopted a policy of being close to the Di people, and when the Di people came to attack the Wen country, the Zhou royal family did not come to the rescue, so they perished, and Wen Zi went out to defend the country.
The Di people retreated after extinguishing Wen, and Wendi was owned by the Zhou royal family.
In the eighteenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (635 BC), Wen was given to Duke Wen of Jin by King Xiang of Zhou to reward Jin Wen for his merits in the rebellion of Prince Wen of Jin.
After Wenyi entered the Jin Kingdom, it was successively the fiefdom of the Yang clan and the Xuan clan of the Jin Kingdom.
"Bu Shang, I don't know which descendant your ancestors are?"
"Back to the king, the ancestor of the small people is Bu Yan."
"I see."
Qingji bowed slightly.
As a person with a surname, Bu Shang's background is naturally not simple, at least a declining nobleman.
The surname of divination is based on the surname of the official and occupation, which belongs to the category of skill as the clan, and it is all from those who were engaged in the profession of divination in ancient times.
In ancient times, all things such as hunting, warfare, wind and rain, annual success, sacrifices, weddings and funerals, and disasters all wanted to predict good fortune and evil, and soothsayers came into being, and produced official positions in charge of this matter.
Bu Wu was a very important figure in ancient times, generally held by the head of the clan tribe, or the chief's relatives, or the wise man or elder.
Xia Qi, the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty, and the younger brother of King Taikang of Xia served in this position, and Teng Shuxiu, the son of King Wen of Zhou, also held this position.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Youbu Yan, Lu Youbu Chuqiu, and Qin Youbu apprentices all served in this position, and then there were people with official positions as their clans, so they produced the surname Bu.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that Jin Zhangbu Bu Yan, the master of Bu Yan, has superb divination skills and does not lose one.
This Bu Yan is indeed an amazing "prophet".
The year before, there was a "rafting battle" between Jin Huigong and Qin Mugong because of the problem of borrowing grain, and the relationship between Qin and Jin was not good during this time.
Bu Yan combined the political and national conditions and the natural phenomenon of the collapse of Shalu Mountain, predicting that "the big blame will lead to the destruction of the country".
In the following year, during the Battle of Hanyuan in Qin, Jin, and Jin, Huigong was captured.
Later, when the Jin Dynasty was newly decided, Bu Yan combined with the political and national conditions at that time, predicted that when there would be an army invasion in the West, the Jin army would be able to achieve a great victory after making early preparations.
Sure enough, the battle of Qin and Jinkun broke out the following year, and Qin Mugong was defeated......
This kind of divination is not amazing.
Whether the divination is a last resort, or whether it is divination by himself, Qingji doesn't know!
The Bu Shang in front of him made Qingji realize that this is sacred!
Bu Shang, the word Zixia, a proud man of Confucius, one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius", one of the seventy-two famous disciples, known for his literature.
After the death of Confucius, Bu Zixia guarded filial piety in the tomb of Confucius for three years, and then went to Xihe to teach and teach, spread Confucianism, and lived all over the land of Fenyang, and has lived for 55 years.
He has cultivated many talents in his life.
Famous ones include Wu Qi, Li Kui, Gongyang Gao, Gu Liang Chi, Duan Ganmu, Tian Zifang, Poultry Slippery and so on during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
He studied the teaching of "Poetry" intensively, understood the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", and understood "Yi" and "Li".
In his later years, he lectured on Xihe and advocated that those who are kings must read "Spring and Autumn" to prevent usurpation by powerful ministers.
Wei Wenhou personally consulted the state government and treated him as a teacher.
It's a pity that Bu Zixia lost his son in his later years, and his grief was so excessive that he lost his sight......
He is the author of "The Book of Buzi", "The Biography of Zixia Yi", "The Sixteen Books of the Holy Gate", "The Biography of Zhou Yi Bu Shang", and co-authored the Analects with Ziyou and others.
Historically, Zixia Shao Confucius was forty-four years old, and was the best of Confucius's later students, with quick thinking and famous for his literature, and was allowed by Confucius to be a highly talented student in his "literature" department.
When Zixia was a student, he was praised by Confucius for his unique views.
He was twelve years old, born in 507 B.C., and that is indeed the case!
The young man in front of him is Bu Zixia who "set up a teaching in Xihe and taught three hundred apprentices"!
"Bu Shang, this strategy of yours, few people have read it, there is nothing outstanding, it is decent, but the writing is relatively smooth, it is not surprising......"
Qingji looked at Bu Shang meaningfully, and said slowly: "In the opinion of the widow, you can now be the most county commander of one party, and the rank is more than six hundred stones, don't you regret it?" ”
"Xiaomin has no complaints and no regrets!"
Bu Shang replied with a resolute look.
