Seriously, among the many ancient sages, Shi Min admires the most Ji Za, who is indifferent to fame and fortune and avoids the throne.

Confucius once said: "Taibo (Wu Taibo, the ancestor of Ji Za) can be said to be the most virtuous, and the three are made by the world, and the people have nothing to gain." Sima Qian praised Ji Za as a benevolent and virtuous person who "saw the subtleties and knew the turbidity".

The courtesy, extraordinary spirit and foresight of the sages have always shone in the long sky of Chinese history.

Behind the historical story of "Ji Za Rang Guo", there is also a theme of tracing back to the end. The people in the Central Plains and the Juwu area are all brothers of the same ancestor. In the ancient land of China, for thousands of years, people have been of the same root and body!

Shi Min's argument of abdicating the throne is not far-fetched, after all, he also quoted scriptures and scriptures to pull out such a sage as Ji Za.

Yiyang Gong Shijian hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, what the thorn slave said is extremely true. About Ji Za's affairs, Erchen also knows a little bit about it! Until his death, Wu Wang Zhufan still remembered his younger brother Ji Zha. He left a testament for his descendants to pass the throne to several younger brothers in turn, so that it could eventually be passed on to his younger brother Ji Za, so as to fulfill the last wish of the first king Shoumeng. Before his death, the succeeding Wu Wang Yiwu wanted to pass the throne to Ji Za, but Ji Za refused again. To show his determination, he went into hiding! ”

"Ji Za is an ancient sage, three to the throne, and it is a good story for the ages. The Metropolitan Governor is now even more high-spirited, not confused by the position of the prince, and his loyal heart can be seen by the sun and the moon! In order to give way, Ji Za has gone into seclusion several times and does not ask about the world, but now if my father has to let the Metropolitan Governor be the prince and the prince of the country, and the Metropolitan Governor follows Ji Zha's actions and retreats to the mountains and forests, wouldn't it make my Great Zhao Kingdom lose a god of war who has won a hundred battles? ”

Shi Min lowered his hand and said, "Please take back your life!" The position of the prince should be lived by the virtuous, and the capable should be lived! How can a minister dare to steal the position of the prince? Among the sons of the king, there is no shortage of virtuous people, there is no shortage of capable people, as long as the king chooses a prince from among the sons, the ministers will be like Zhou Gongdan, Zhuge Liang, like serving the king to serve him, bow to the death of the end! ”

What a good one to do his best and die!

The ministers shouted along the mountain: "Please take back the king's fate!" ”

Obviously, none of the many civil and military forces in the court agreed with Shi Hu and Shi Min as the prince.

Everyone has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts. Like Shi Bin, Shi Jian, and Shi Zun, these people were unwilling to fail, and gave up their Jiangshan Sheji to outsiders; It seems that Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong, Liu Xian and other local warlords are unwilling to be lonely, what kind of virtue Shi Hu Zhuzi is, they all know that in the future, whether Shi Zun succeeds to the throne or Shi Bin succeeds to the throne, for them, there is still the possibility of competing for the world and opposing the guest.

And once Shi Min ascended to the throne, with his tough style and iron-blooded means, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not weaken the feudal towns in various places and completely integrate the various forces in the Zhao State.

As for Ran Liang, Zhao Lan, Shen Bian, and Shen Zhong, they did not actually support Shi Min to become the prince of the Great Zhao State. As Shi Min said, this is the way to take trouble, maybe the Shixuan Rebellion has just been pacified, and there will be another "Shibin Rebellion", "Shizun Rebellion" or something.

Shi Hu thought for a moment hesitantly, and finally sighed and said: "Alas, my Zhao country has thorn slaves, and its country is in trouble!" ”

"Since you insist on avoiding the position of prince, I will fulfill you. But you have made great contributions in this counterinsurgency battle, and you must be rewarded! Shi Min listens to the seal! ”

"The minister is here!"

"I named you the Duke of Wei, the fief Neihuang (now the northwest of Neihuang, Henan), and the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions. At the same time, from now on, I will change the Great Sima to the Great General, as the highest military commander in the country, all the troops must be from the Great General's Mansion! Shi Min is a general, and he is given the uniform of the crown, and the tiger is three hundred! ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" This time, Shi Min did not refuse. If he continues to prevaricate like this, not only will he be displeased with Shi Hu, but maybe even his current power will have a bamboo basket to draw water, and there is a danger of emptiness.

If you can't be a prince, it's okay to be a Duke of Wei.

You must know that since Shi Hu changed the emperor's honorific title and called himself "King of Great Zhao", the rest of Shi Bin, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, and Shi Xuan have all lost their titles, and they have been demoted by one level and made a duke.

In essence, Shi Min's Duke of Wei is much the same as the King of Wei.

If Shi Hu goes one step further in the future and becomes the emperor, Shi Min will still have a chance to get the king's honorific title.

Shi Hu sealed Shi Min in the Neihuang of Wei County, in fact, he had his own considerations.

First, Shi Min himself is a yellow man in Wei County, and sealing this place can be regarded as returning to his hometown and satisfying Shi Min's own vanity.

Second, Wei County actually belongs to the feet of the Son of Heaven, Yecheng is under the jurisdiction of Wei County, Wei Yin is set up, and Shi Min only got a small fief, which is not enough to worry about. What's more important is that Shi Min is restricted, and his every move will be under Shi Hu's nose.

Shi Min's original identity was the Great Sima, the Governor of the Internal and External Armies, and the Duke of Changshan County. Now he has gone one step further and become the Duke of Wei, worshipping the general, in fact, this general is the same as the Great Sima, and they are both the current top military commanders of the Zhao State. As for the so-called "Governor of the Inner and Foreign Armies", it is a temporary title that will be revoked if it is not in wartime.

Don't look at Shi Hu this time, like the rest of the meritorious generals, he didn't reward Shi Min with any food and wealth, but the opening ceremony is the same as the three divisions, and there is also the clothes that give the crown, and the tiger is three hundred, which is already a supreme honor!

Let's talk about Kaifu Yi and the three divisions first.

Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi, a high-ranking official position during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the highest official rank from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty.

The three divisions are the three princes (Sikong, Sima, and Situ).

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the three dukes were not in charge of specific government affairs, they were still senior advisers to the emperor. However, the number of three public places is small and cannot meet the demand, so it has produced a comparable honorary title.

In the first year of Emperor Yanping (106), the ceremonial and three divisions of the chariot general Deng Qiu were the beginning of the three divisions of the ceremonies, and their comparisons with the three dukes were limited to the class position and etiquette, and did not have the right to open the government and establish subordinates.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Kaifu and the three divisions of the Yitong were called more, and they gradually became common and developed into official names. Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the honorary titles of the three dukes must have their own officials, and they have become official titles, and they still rely on their own official dignity. The three divisions of the Western Jin Dynasty do not have to refer to the actual position.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, the opening of the palace and the three divisions were imaginary names, and they were gradually not taken seriously.

The three divisions of Kaifu and Yitong in the Northern Wei Dynasty are two official titles. The former only refers to the opening of the government and the establishment of officials, and does not have to be the same as the princes; The latter only refers to the etiquette that is the same as that of the princes, and it is not allowed to open a government and establish officials. At the same time, the meaning is slightly the same as that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, except that there are fewer officials than the princes. Northern Qi set up Kaifu Yi with three divisions and Yi with three divisions.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty divided the Shangkaifu Yi with the three divisions, the Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, the Shangyi with the three divisions, and the Yi with the three divisions to reward the honors. Inherited at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang left the palace and the three divisions, and the rest were abolished. Tang, Song, and Yuan Because of this, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions have always been first-class literary officials, and they were abolished in the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty called the governor of other provinces and the person who served as the governor of another province as the opening of the government, but it was not synonymous with the opening of the government in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Being able to get the power of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, Shi Min actually has the right to reward his cronies. If he wanted to reward Qin Mu and Cui Hao, he only needed to make a report to Shi Hu, without his approval.

And what is the garment of the crown, the three hundred tigers?

These are two of the Nine Tin Rites.

Jiuxi is the ancient Chinese emperor to the princes, ministers have nine kinds of ceremonial vessels, is the highest courtesy. These ritual vessels are usually used only by the Son of Heaven, and the formal significance of the reward is far greater than the use value.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had the most imperial power, first discussed the gift of "Nine Tin". Later, Cao Cao received the "Nine Tin" given by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, specifically: clothes, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, chariots and horses, music rules, bows and arrows, etc.

To be able to get such a heavy reward, the ministers couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy on Shi Min's face. But everyone was convinced, after all, no one could do what Shi Min did.
