History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 190 Duke Wen of Jin

My charming and short-lived ancestor: I remember someone saying that when Brother Zheng swept across Liuhe, there was a country that did not perish!
The pig is coming to the bowl:? ? ? What the hell? Didn’t you say that Brother Zheng unified the world? Isn’t that part of China’s land?

My charming and short-lived ancestor: No! That country is the Weiguo, and this Wei is Shang Yang’s Wei! Brother Zheng didn’t destroy this country just to commemorate Shang Yang
Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: So Weiguo really has some luck. Look at how many countries have been involved in the historical torrent, but Weiguo is still there!
Wuduyu: Yes, look at Qi Huangong and he didn’t punish him, and neither did Zheng Ge later.

Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): Shang Yang deserves such an honor!
秦国
Shang Yang looked at the sky with a smile on his face.

Qin Xiaogong looked at him and said, "What do you think of Zheng'er, Lord Shang?"

Shang Yang turned to look at Duke Xiao and said, "Hasn't the king already made a decision in his heart?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Su Yue looked at the comments and said, "Okay, that is to say, Duke Huan of Qi has already been mentioned in "The Matter of Qi Huan and Jin Wen". How can we not talk about Duke Wen of Jin?"

Jin Wengong Ji Chong'er (697 BC or 671 BC - 628 BC), Ji's surname, Jin's surname, and given name Chong'er, was the 636nd king of the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period of China (reigned from 628 BC to BC) ), the son of Duke Xian of Jin, whose mother is Fox Concubine.

When he was young, Chong'er was modest, studious, and good at raising scholars.

During the Liji Rebellion, he was forced to go into exile to Zhai State, and later moved to Wulu (Wei), Qi, Wei, Cao, Song, Zheng, Chu, Qin and other countries. He was away for nineteen years and experienced hardships.

In the first year of Jin Wen (636 BC), Chong'er, with the support of Duke Mu of Qin, returned to Jin to kill Duke Huai of Jin and ascended the throne as the king of Jin.

During Chong'er's reign, he appointed Hu Yan, Xian Zhen, Zhao Shui, Jia Tuo, Wei Ji and others to implement policies such as opening up trade and easing agriculture, enlightening the virtuous, and rewarding meritorious service. He created three armies and six ministers, which greatly increased the national power of Jin.

He united with Qin and Qi to attack Cao and defend the country, saved Song and conquered Zheng, and quelled the rebellion of the Zhou family, and was rewarded by King Xiang of Zhou.

In the fifth year of Jin Wengong (632 BC), he defeated the Chu army with a small number in the battle of Chengpu. After the war, he summoned Qi, Song and other countries to join an alliance in Jiantu, and was appointed by King Xiang of Zhou as the uncle of the princes. Became the second overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the same year, he met the kings of Qi, Lu, Song, Qin and other countries in Wen. After the meeting, he successively attacked the two countries of Xu and Zheng, which were attached to Chu.

At the same time, he also dealt with the expansion of the northern Rong Di under the banner of resisting the barbarians, and continued to carry out the "Three Lines" to resist the Di people.

In the ninth year of Jin Wengong (628 BC), Chong'er passed away.

Chong'er's outstanding literary and martial arts skills created the century-long hegemony of the Jin Kingdom. He was the second overlord among the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Together with Duke Huan of Qi, he was called "Qi Huan Jin Wen" or "Huan Wen".

Sima Qian's "Historical Records" praised him as "the so-called wise king in ancient times".

In addition to his outstanding achievements, he also left behind allusions such as "retreating from three places", "aiming in all directions" and "greedy for heaven's merit".

My charming, short-lived ancestor: Wow! That is to say, this person also has a story.
Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: That's right! And there are quite a few stories he created.
The pig came to the bowl quickly: Hahahahaha! Your ID upstairs is really Xiuer!
He kicked the lame man's good leg wildly: Woohoo! I just read an article about Tang Dynasty, and it said that this ID is really fun!

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Very good! I believe this cripple is Li Chengqian!
Wuduyi: Li Chengqian: Are you polite?
He kicked the lame man's good leg like crazy: Hahahahaha! Flow batch!

Su Yue saw that the comment area spanned thousands of years and couldn't help but change the topic: "Okay, let's take a look at the anecdotes and allusions of Duke Wen of Jin!"

double pupil parallel threat
Generally, official history emphasizes that Chong'er's hypochondrium is closely connected as a whole, which is a physiological deformity.

The ancients thought this was a statue of a saint), and "Historical Records" said, "When passing Cao Cao, Cao Gonggong was rude and wanted to watch Chong Er and threatened him."

There is a folk legend that Chong'er is the son of Chong'er. Qingming cold food
When Chong'er was in exile, he was helped by his followers, including Jie Zitui.

When Chong'er returned to the country and ascended the throne and divided his ministers among the ministers, he forgot about Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui did not want to boast about his merits and win favor, so he lived in seclusion until his death.

Chong'er did not find Jie Zitui, so he used Mianshang as his sacrificial field and said: "Use it to record my faults and commend kind people."

The above records can be found in "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records".

The "Han Shi Wai Zhuan" of the Han Dynasty extended the story of Jie Zitui cutting off his stock to serve the emperor. The later "New Preface" deduced that he carried his mother on his back and fled to Mianshan, but was later burned to death by Chong'er who could not find him.

It is said that after this, Chong'er felt deeply guilty, so he changed Mianshan Mountain to Jieshan Mountain and built a temple to offer sacrifices. He also ordered that on the day of Jie Zitui's death, he should not light a fire to cook and eat cold food, which was called the Cold Food Festival.

The next year, Chong'er led his ministers to climb a mountain to pay homage and found that the old willow tree had come back to life. He named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and informed the world that the day after the Cold Food Festival would be the Qingming Festival.

This story is called "Burning Mianshan" and has become a repertoire of traditional Chinese drama.

Request rejected
During the banquet when Chong'er welcomed Queen Zhou Xiang back, King Zhou Xiang announced that he would grant land to Jin, but Chong'er declined and made an unreasonable request like "please tunnel". King Zhou Xiang talked about the traditions of the royal family and expressed : "No one can replace Zhou Shi at present. If he does, it will be equivalent to having two kings standing side by side. I believe that you don't want to see this situation, uncle."

Chong'er had no choice but to accept the land grant.

"Inviting Tunnel", together with King Chuzhuang's "Aspiring for the Crown" later, is regarded as a symbol of the fall of the authority of the Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, there have always been different opinions as to what the "Tunnel" invited by Chong'er was.

The traditional view is that it is a tunnel burial, that is, the burial system according to the emperor's standards, but there are also different opinions such as the six tunnels (six sui) of the Zhou Dynasty, the full feathers, and the ceremony of worshiping the heaven.

Duke Wen chases the elk
After Chong'er came to the throne, he once hunted an elk but lost it. He asked the farmer Lao Gu on the roadside, "Have you seen my elk?"

Lao Gu knelt down and pointed the way with his toes and said, "That way."

Chong'er said: "I asked my husband, but he used his feet to point the way. Why?"

Lao Gu shook his clothes and stood up and said: "I never thought our king could be so stupid. Tigers and leopards were hunted because they left remote places to be close to humans; fish and turtles were caught because they left deep water; princes left If his people go out to travel far away, the country will perish.

The Book of Songs says: 'The magpies build their nests, and the turtledoves live there. 'If you go out and don't come home, someone else will become the king. "

So Chong'er began to be afraid.

I met Luan Zhi when I went back.

Luan Zhi asked: "Have you hunted any wild animals? I see a happy look on your face?"

Chong'er said: "I lost track, but I got advice, so I'm happy."

Luan Zhi asked: "Where is the person who advised you?"

Chong'er said: "I didn't invite him to come with me."

Luan Zhi said: "Being a master but not caring about his subordinates is arrogant; being slow to give orders but quick to punish is cruel; taking other people's advice but abandoning oneself is stealing."

Chong'er then went back to pick up Lao Gu and go back with him.
