Chapter 0255: Ancient Capital Yang Zhai
When you arrive in Yingchuan, you have to go to Yangzhai, and when you arrive in Yangzhai, you have to go to Yuwang Temple to worship Dayu.
As the saying goes, the major events of the country are in Rong and worship!
The major event of the country is that the war is the sacrifice, and Shi Min cannot be allowed to be sloppy in the slightest!
Since it is a sacrifice, it must be solemn. Therefore, Shi Min had to stay in Yangzhai for a few days, bathe and fast for three days, and then officially worship Yuwang Temple.
When Shi Min arrived in Yangzhai City, only the local officials of Yangzhai were greeted, and the officials of other counties, or the officials of Xuchang did not come to greet them, not to mention the officials who coerced the common people to make a gesture of welcome.
I don't know if it was Shi Min's thunderous means in Daliang that shocked the people in Yingchuan officialdom, or whether the officials in Yingchuan looked down on Shi Min, anyway, there were just so many people who came to greet him, but fortunately, Shi Min himself didn't care much.
Yang Zhai's county magistrate is a young man of the same age as Shi Min, but he is in his twenties, with an elegant appearance, a graceful demeanor, and a good appearance. Shi Min has a very good impression of this county order, he treats people modestly and politely, which immediately makes people feel blessed
"Xiaguan Xunji, see King Wei Chitose!" Xun Ji bowed and lowered his posture, but he did not have the slightest flattery.
Shi Min nodded, and suddenly said: "Xun County's surname is Xun, isn't it from the Yingchuan Xun clan?" ”
"Xia Guan is a member of the Xun clan."
As soon as he heard that he was really a child of the Yingchuan Xun family, Shi Min was impressed: "The Xun family has many young talents, and the lonely king has already heard of it." Xun Ji, what is your table word? ”
"The official word Lingda."
"Lingda, Xun Lingda. Okay, Lingda, take a walk with the lonely king. ”
, Shi Min took Xun Ji for a walk in the city.
After talking, Shi Min learned that Xun Ji was the most important strategist in the Cao Wei group and the seventh grandson of Xun Yu. Who is Xun Yu? That was the top strategist in the Three Kingdoms era, not only was he a good hand at giving advice, but he was also good at governing the country, and even Cao Mengde called him "Wang Zuozhicai"!
Throughout the Wei and Jin dynasties, the most influential clan in the Central Plains was the Xun clan of Yingyin (now Xuchang). Xun Shu in the Eastern Han Dynasty was noble and knowledgeable, the township called it "Homo sapiens", once enlisted to worship Langzhong, and then moved to be Tu Chang, at that time the famous Li Gu, Li Ying had worshiped him as a teacher, and later became the Marquis of Langling. Xun Shu is sensible and reasonable, and is known as "God Jun".
His 8 sons, and have a talent name, known as "Xun's Eight Dragons", his 6th son Xun Shuang is the most well-known, and the official is commonplace. So far, the Eight Dragon Tomb is still preserved in the west of Chenzhuang Village, 2 kilometers north of Xuchang City.
Xun Shu's grandsons Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Xun Yan, Xun Yue, and great-grandson Xun Yu and others were all influential figures in the Han and Wei dynasties and important strategists of the Cao Wei Group.
Xun Yu, at the end of the Han Dynasty, first attached himself to Yuan Shao, and found that Yuan Shao could not achieve great things, so he defected to Cao Cao. He has come up with many ideas for Cao Cao, and the most far-sighted is to welcome the emperor to Xu. Soon Ren Shangshuling, participated in military affairs, and became an important strategist in Cao Wei's group, and Cao Cao compared him to Zhang Liang.
Cao Cao welcomed his sons, summoned Xun Yu as a scholar, and soon appointed him as a military advisor. Xun You followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, and repeatedly offered miraculous strategies, playing an important role in Cao Cao's unification of the north.
Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Yunguan, was the general of Hu Benzhonglang, married Cao Cao's daughter, the third son Xun Yu once served as the imperial history of Zhongcheng, the fifth son Xun Shu once served as a general engaged in Zhonglang, and the sixth son Xun Yi, successively served as Sikong, Situ, Taiwei and other positions.
At the same time as Xun Yi, Xun Shuang's great-grandson Xun Xun followed Sima Zhao in the process of Sima clan's usurpation of Cao Wei's power and helped to give advice. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, the tired officials Guanglu Doctor and Yitong were three divisions.
Xun Miao has 10 sons, among which Xun Ji, Xun Fan, and Xun Group are more famous. Xun Ji official to Wei Wei; Xun Fan tired of moving Shangshu Ling, Sikong; Xun Group once served as Sikong and Tai Lieutenant.
Xun Fan's sons Xun Di and Xun Lang, Xun Yi, the son of Xun Group, are also famous figures during the two Jin Dynasty.
After the Jin dynasty crossed to the south, the Xun clan gradually declined.
And what Shi Min values is the fact that the Xun clan has now declined.
As the saying goes, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow!
Shi Min knows very well that if he wants to win, in addition to the hearts of the people (the toiling masses), is to win the support of these gate lords!
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, there have been great changes, and the power of the family gate valve has expanded dramatically.
There are no thousand-year-old dynasties, only thousand-year-old families!
The rise and fall of the dynasty is not unrelated to the family, but the dynasty has perished, but the family still exists, which has to be a little intriguing.
However, Shi Min saw very clearly that the establishment of a dynasty definitely does not lack the support of the family, and similarly, the decline and fall of a dynasty is definitely not unrelated to the promotion of the family.
But the relationship between the two sides is still one with both prosperity and loss.
However, since ancient times, Huaxia Rao's concept has been "under the family and the country", and there is a family first and then the country! This notion did not change until the end of the feudal era.
For the sake of the family's interests, these sons of the gate lords can betray the country.
And if Shi Min wants to take it, he has to get the full support of these gate valve families. Behind a dynasty there are often thousands of families who are capable of fighting when the dynasty is established, and in the last days, they are insatiable vampires!
This kind of thing is inevitable, as long as the emperor still exists and the dynasty still exists, the family will never die!
In the pre-Qin era, there were aristocrats, after the Qin and Han dynasties, there were family lords, after the two Song dynasties, there were scholars, and until later generations, there were all kinds of evil capitalists......
"Lingda, this Yangzhai is a famous ancient capital, with a history of more than 2,000 years. "Imperial Century" contains: "Yu was named Xia Bo, in the south of Yuzhou, now Yangzhai County, Henan." It is said that it is the capital of King Dayu of Xia, and during the period of Chu and Han hegemony, Han Wangxin also built the capital here. ”
"Not bad." Xun Ji's face inevitably showed a look of pride: "King Wei, Xia Qi once met the princes here to enjoy Juntai. Yangzhai was also the capital of Korea during the Warring States Period! ”
During the Yaoshun period, Yuzhou was called Xia, and it was the center of Xia tribe settlement and activities.
Dayu is the leader of the Xia tribe and the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Yuzhou is because Yu was first sealed here, so it is called "the state of Yu". Later, because the Xia Dynasty founded and built the capital here, it is also known as the "summer capital" or "the first capital of China." "Yu reigned in the summer capital (now Yuzhou City) for eight years, and ordered the whole country to implement a unified calendar, commonly known as the "summer calendar", also oared the lunar calendar.
Juntai is also called Xiatai, originally in the south of Yuzhou City, ten miles away from the city. "Water Jing Note" contains, in the southeast of Sanfeng Mountain, west of the Great Tomb, the shadow on the tomb Qi Xiao Pavilion, enlightening the god on the Great Tomb, that is, Juntai also". There is a corner of water to flow southeast, pass under the mausoleum, accumulate for the slope, the slope is ten miles, called the Juntai slope.
First, Juntai is in the "Yin of Yingchuan City", which is the first place in the history of our country to raise evil spirits and "state banquet", and it is also the place where Xia Wei imprisoned Shang Tang.
Later Shang Tang was strong, united the vassal states to attack Xia, bound Xia Ji, and exiled to the current Chaoting Mountain (now Anhui territory).
Three years later, Xia Wei died of grief, and Shang Tang built the capital in Bo (Bo Bo, southeast of Shangqiu, Henan), but still sealed Yu's descendants in Xia Ting. The former site of Xia Ting is in Xia Temple Village, Hongchang Town, Yuzhou City. Later, the princes were sealed in the summer land, so at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Yuzhou was once called the "calendar" land, or "oak" land.
"Then Ling Dake knows, the origin of the name of Yang Zhai's place?" Shi Min suddenly asked.
When Xun Ji heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then pondered: "The king, it's not that the lower officials don't know, but the origin of the name of Yang Zhai's place, and everyone has different opinions. ”
"What are the methods?" Shi Min came to curiosity.
"Some people believe that the ancient Zhai and Ditong. As early as the sixteenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (636 B.C.), the northern Di people invaded and occupied the oak yi, because the cluster is in the sun of Songshan Mountain, so it is called Yang Zhai. ”
"Hmm." Shi Min nodded, noncommittal.
Xun Ji said again: "There is another method, that is, Yang Zhai is in the sun of Songshan Mountain, hence the name." But the lower officials did not agree with this method, because there is also a yang city in Yingchuan, which is also named because it is located in the sun of Songshan Mountain. Compared with Yangcheng, the location of Yuzhou City is not exactly in the Yang of Songshan, and it is much farther away from Songshan. It can be seen that the yang of Yang Zhai is not the yang of Songyang! ”
"Hmm."
"There is another method, the ancients called the cluster Yang Zhai, because there were many pheasants in the cluster at that time, and it was bright and beautiful!"
Xun Ji talked eloquently: "Han Jinghou led his subordinates down to the cluster, admiring the lush primitive tropical rainforest, thriving and vibrant everywhere, and seeing a flock of pheasants, flying and running everywhere, colorful and colorful, dazzling, showing a wonderful landscape. So, he lingered and couldn't help but praise repeatedly: 'Yang Zai Zhai also, Yang Zai Zhai Ye!' (What a beautiful pheasant, what a beautiful pheasant!) The ministers of civil and military affairs who followed him also echoed: 'Yang Zai Zhai also! Yang Zai Zhai also! As a result, the cluster was called "Yang Zhai." ”
"I don't know which of these three methods does the king think is credible?"
"You can believe it. However, compared with the other two methods, the Lone King prefers the first method. Or, the Lone King prefers to believe that the first method is true. ”
What is the original meaning of the name of Yang Zhai?
There are many opinions on this.
Some people believe that in ancient times, "Zhai" and "Di" were connected.
As early as the sixteenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (636 B.C.), the northern Di people invaded and occupied the oak yi, because the cluster is in the sun of Songshan Mountain, so it is called Yang Zhai.
However, considering the historical books, Confucius repaired the "Spring and Autumn Period", and wrote a biography of the "Spring and Autumn Period" in Zuoqiu Ming, and the era in which they lived was much later than the Di people occupied the oak yi, but in the "Zuo Chuan", the cluster has always been called the oak yi, and there is no Yang Zhai called it, so it can be seen that the cluster of the end of the spring and autumn has always been called the oak yi. What's more, although the Zhou Dynasty was already in decline at that time, the Duke of Qi Huan was in the process of hegemony.
With the assistance of the great statesman Guan Zhong, the Duke of Qi Huan held high the banner of "respecting the king and conquering the emperor", led the vassal states of the Central Plains, defeated the invasion of Rong Di many times, and effectively maintained the national unity under the political system of the curtain time. Confucius once sincerely praised Guan Zhong: "Micro Guan Zhong, I wear my hair on the left." That is, if there was no Guan Zhong, China might have become a colony of Rong Di, and the Chinese people might have to become slaves of the country, like the nomads of the northwest.
It is precisely because of Duke Qi Huan and Guan Zhong that although Rong Di has invaded the mainland, he has not stayed in the Central Plains for a long time.
Even if a small number of Di people remain in the cluster, they will never become the main body of the cluster residents, so as to affect the change of the place name of the cluster.
