"The king, how can the minister dare to steal the position of the prince?" Shi Min was thinking of a countermeasure in his heart, and at the same time pleaded with him, "Please ask the king to be the country's leader of my Great Zhao Kingdom, don't be impulsive, and make a minister a prince!" Minister, you can't deserve it! ”

"I said you deserve it!"

Shi Hu couldn't help but blow his beard and glare: "Thorn slave, do you have any scruples in your heart?" All the princes present, if anyone is not convinced, you may as well stand up! ”

Shi Hu looks like a calf protector, who dares to stand up and touch the tiger's buttocks? Don't you want to die?!

Seeing that the ministers were all trembling, Shi Hu was very satisfied, Shi Min secretly thought to himself, and finally a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he bowed down and said: "King, the ministers dare not steal the position of the prince, it is really sincere, and there is a last resort!" ”

Say. If you can't tell you a reason today, thorn slave, I will blame you for not being merciful, and punish you! ”

Shi Min said: "King, please listen to the minister." Since ancient times, according to the patriarchal system, the position of the prince has always been the succession of the father to the son, and the brother to the brother! How to raise grandchildren and adopt sons as princes? If the king has no heirs, this is okay, but the king has more than a dozen heirs under his knees, and the grandchildren are even more innumerable, and there are many heirs, is there not a single outstanding one among the king's children and grandchildren? ”

"Great King, if you insist on making a minister a prince, you will inherit the eternal foundation of the Great Zhao Kingdom in the future, and you will surely cause disaster. For example, the Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period, since the Xuan Gong, because of its abolition of the prince and the establishment of a younger brother, the country is restless for the tenth generation! For example, Song Xuangong and King Wu sacrificed to the rest of the sacrifices, all of which were given and received without going through, causing hidden disasters. These are very painful lessons! Please King Mingjian! ”

Why did it get involved with Song Xuangong and King Wu Yu again?

Shi Hu, who only knows how to bend the bow and shoot eagles, and does not like to read, is very puzzled.

Shi Min lowered his hand and said: "King, Song Xuangong is the monarch of the Song Kingdom, and he loves his younger brother Gongzi He, even more than his son Prince and Yi, and Song Xuangong entrusted Jiangshan Sheji to Gongzi He, that is, Song Mugong before his death. This caused the chaos of the 10th Song Dynasty! ”

To say that the Song Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period was full of disasters and difficulties.

On the issue of the inheritance of the throne, the monarchs of the Song State made a fatal mistake, so that until the fall of the Song State, because of the inheritance relationship between the elder brother and the younger brother, it was repeated repeatedly.

After Song Xuangong died of illness, Zihe succeeded to the throne as Song Mugong. Before Song Mugong died, he remembered the old relationship and decided to pass the throne to Song Xuangong's son He Yi, and the two sons, Gongzi Feng and Zuo Shibo, were expelled from Song and let them live in Zheng.

He Yi succeeded to the throne for the Song Dynasty.

The nickname "Death" is very bad, and from this point of view, it is really fateful with Yiguo.

In the tenth year of the Song Dynasty (710 BC), Dazai Huadu killed the Song Emperor, and welcomed back his son Feng Yongli from Zheng State as the king, which was for the Song Zhuang Gong. Therefore, at that time, the gentleman believed that he must abide by the law of passing the throne to his son, and the disaster of the Song Kingdom was caused by Song Xuangong.

Song Zhuanggong is okay, he was displaced in the first half of his life, at least he didn't die miserably. But his son Song Min Gongzijie was miserable and died a very aggrieved death.

During the reign of Song Mingong, he fought against the state of Lu many times.

In the eighth year of Song Mingong, Lu defeated Song Yu Chengqiu (Shandong Juye) and captured Song Dafu Nangong Changwan. In the following year, the Song State retaliated for the Battle of Chengqiu last year, and then attacked the Lu State, and fought in Yanyi (south of Qufu, Shandong), and the Song army was defeated again.

Nangong Wan was later released, and once Song Mingong and Nangong Wan went hunting together, and the two sides had a dispute, and Song Mingong made fun of him: "I respected the monarch at the beginning, and now the monarch is a prisoner of the Lu Kingdom, and I no longer respect the monarch." Nangong Changwan was ashamed and angry.

In the tenth year of Song Min Gong (682 years ago), Nangong Changwan took advantage of the game of chess to kill Zijie Yu Mengze, and set up Ziyou as the king. Soon Nangong Changwan went to Chen Guo, and the Song people bribed Chen Guo, "so that the woman drank the alcoholic wine, wrapped it in leather, and returned to the Song Dynasty." ", was killed, "Song people are Wanye".

Song Mingong died a miserable death, and he died a miserable death. Who knew that Nangong Chang Wanxin'er was so small?

The 18th monarch of the Song State was Ziyou, who was deposed before the Song Dynasty, and was finally killed by the sons of the Song Min Gong who started the incident. Next is Yu Shuo, Song Huan Gong.

Duke Song Huan lived his life steadily, there was no civil strife during his reign, he participated in the princes' alliance many times, and sent troops to rescue Zheng and Xing, and stabilized the Zhou royal family. Song Huan Gong is the father of the famous benevolent and righteous overlord Song Xianggong!

Speaking of Song Xianggong, his deeds of "half crossing without attacking" can be said to be widely spread.

Song Xianggong Zifu is the 20th monarch of the Song State, and his deeds do not need to be repeated.

Later, it was the prince of Song Chenggong, who reigned for 17 years and suffered a lot of crimes, and the battle of Chengpu took place during his reign.

In 620 BC, Song Chenggong died, and his disciples killed Song Chenggong's crown prince and the great Sima Gong Sun Gu, and established himself as the monarch of the Song State. Later, the people of the Song Dynasty killed the Song Dynasty and abolished the Duke, and established the youngest son of the Song Chenggong as the monarch of the Song State, which was for the Song Zhaogong.

Here it is again, and here it is! It's still a drama of a younger brother killing his brother and usurping the throne, but it is often set right.

And then there's that.

Song Zhaogong died quite miserably, and it is estimated that he is still dead.

In 611 BC, Song Zhaogong's younger brother Gongzi Bao and his grandmother Wang Ji killed Song Zhaogong, and Gongzi Bao succeeded to the throne as Song Wengong.

It's another drama of killing his brother and usurping the throne!

After Song Wengong died of illness, his son Song Gongzi succeeded to the throne, and the nightmarish reincarnation of "brother to brother and brother" belonging to the Song Kingdom came again!

After the death of Song Gonggong, the hereditary Sima Dangze (the great-grandson of Song Xianggong's younger brother Gongzi Dang) rebelled and killed the crown prince. The Dang clan was exterminated by Hua Yuan, Dang Ze was killed, and the clansmen fled to the state of Chu.

So, the youngest son of the Gonggong Gong became the Duke of Song Ping!

This can be regarded as a kind of usurpation of the throne by killing brothers, but it is the relationship between brothers and brothers.

Next was Song Yuangong, who had civil strife during his reign, but was pacified.

followed by Song Jinggong, Jinggong had no heirs, so he set up his nephew De as the prince.

Zide is the twenty-ninth monarch of the Song Kingdom, the great-grandson of Song Yuangong, the grandson of Gongzi Qin, the son of Gongsun Zhou, and the adopted son of Song Jinggong. Song Jinggong had no children, and was succeeded by the son of Gongsun Zhou.

Zide is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!

This virtue is not simple, in the 65-year reign, how many monarchs have been able to compete throughout the ages?

After Zide, Song mourned the public. This guy is estimated to have been killed by a captive, so he is nicknamed "mourning".

Then his son Song Xiu's son Tian Li. After Zitian, the mediocre Marquis of Song Huan took the throne.

The drama of killing his brother and usurping the throne is staged again!

During this period, the incident of Dai's taking of the Song Dynasty occurred.

Dai's take of the Song Dynasty, also known as the Dai Dynasty's Song Dynasty, refers to the event that the powerful ministers of the Song State in the middle of the Warring States Period and the Duke of Dai of the Song Dynasty became the descendants of the Song Huan Marquis more than 400 years later and became independent.

The descendants of Song Daigong took "Dai" as their clan, so this matter is called "Dai's take Song".

Because Zi Cucheng is a descendant of Song Daigong, it is not written in the "Historical Records" that he was usurped to the throne, but this incident is recorded in the "Bamboo Book Chronicle".

After the son was culled, it was another drama of killing his brother and usurping the throne, and the initiator was the Song Wangyan who "shot the sky and whipped the earth" (see "Ji Song" for details, another novel by the author Jun, with this person as a pig's foot)!

As for the matter of King Wu's remaining sacrifices, it is widely spread, but the image is much better than that of the Song Kingdom, which prides itself on being a state of etiquette and has a long history.

Wu Wang Shoumeng had four outstanding sons, all of whom were quite gentlemanly in ancient times.

The eldest son Zhu Fan, the second son Yu Xi, the third son Yu Yu, and the fourth son Ji Za.

After Shou Meng hung up, the eldest son Zhu Fan succeeded to the throne.

When King Zhufan of Wu attacked Chaoguo, a vassal state of Chu, he was killed by an arrow at the age of 48. It is worth mentioning that Zhu Fan was the first head of state in Chinese history to die in battle.

After the death of King Zhufan of Wu, he ordered to pass the throne to his second brother Yu Sai, and wanted to pass it on in turn, and he must hand over the country to Ji Za before he stopped, so as to fulfill the last wish of his father Wu Wang Shoumeng, and praise Ji Zha's righteousness.

He was succeeded by Yu Sai, the third king since the state of Wu became king.

Yu Sai died a miserable death, and was finally killed by a captive of the Yue Kingdom.

According to the will, his younger brother Yu Yu succeeded to the throne.

In 527 BC, Yi Wu died, and wanted to pass on his younger brother Ji Zha, but he did not accept it, so he passed on his son, that is, the Wu Wang Bureaucrat.

Shi Hu touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "Then why is King Wu Yu sacrificial?" ”

"The State of Wu, whose ancestor was Taibo of the Zhou Dynasty, was once praised by Confucius as a 'man of supreme virtue'. Taibo was originally the heir to the throne of the Zhou Dynasty, but his father, the prince, intended to pass on the throne to his youngest son Ji Li and grandson Chang. So Taber took the initiative to give up the throne, and in the name of collecting medicine, he fled to the barren land of Jing Barbarian and established the state of Wu! ”

Shi Min said eloquently: "A few generations later, Shou Meng inherited the throne of Wu. Among his four sons, the fourth son, Jiza, is the most virtuous, so Shoumeng has always intended to pass on the throne to him. Ji Za's brothers also loved him very much, and thought that Ji Za's virtue and ability were the most suitable to inherit the throne, so they all vied with him to take the throne. But Jiza refused to accept the throne and insisted on giving up the throne to his brother. ”

Hearing this, Shi Hu bowed his head slightly and said: "This is a virtuous country, a virtuous brother." Brother and brother, it should be them, right? ”

"Yes. The king, in fact, is exactly that. Shi Min said, "After Shou Meng, his sons Zhu Fan, Yu Sai, and Yu Wu are all the kings of Wu, and Yu Wu originally wanted to hand over the Wu Kingdom to Ji Za before he died. ”

"Oh? Did that Jiza accept it? Shi Hu was very interested.

"Nope."

Shi Min shook his head and said, "Ji Zhanai is an ancient sage. Brother Zhu Fan felt that his virtue and ability were far below Ji Zha, and he wanted to entrust him with the responsibility of holding the country, but Ji Zha's words declined. ”

Ji Zayan said: The people of Cao wanted to support the virtuous Zi Zang as the monarch to replace the immoral King Cao, but Zi Zang refused. In order to uphold the loyalty of his subjects and dispel the idea of being supported by the people, Zizang left Cao and went to Song, so that the monarch of Cao could still reign. Zizang's humble and indisputable virtue is praised by people as a virtuous person who can keep festivals. The Yin Jian of the former sages is vividly in my heart, and the dignity of the monarch, where is what I Ji Za wants? Although I have no virtue, I pray to be more virtuous and sage, and I have it in my heart. ”

"Ji Za's virtue touched the people of Wu Kingdom, and they were like the stars and the moon, bent on supporting Ji Za as king. As a last resort, Ji Za retired between the mountains and rivers, and worked hard all day to show his firm will, which completely dispelled this idea of the Wu people. ”

When Shi Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Is there really anyone in this world who disdains the position of the monarch?" ”

"My lord, Ji Za is a frank gentleman. Although the minister did not dare to compare himself with Jiza, he yearned for it! Brother to brother, it is still the way to take trouble, not to mention that the king is now going to let the princes not stand, and set up the adopted grandson as the prince? Therefore, please be cautious in this matter! ”
