Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 629 Deposed Queen Ji Pao
The final result is that the father and master and the young master chose to stay and live and die with Yin.

Tiny Qi chose to leave.

The other two related characters are that Jizi still persuaded King Zhou, but King Zhou refused to listen, so Jizi pretended to be crazy and was demoted to a domestic slave.

But Bigan risked his life to speak out, but was killed by King Zhou.

After Wei Zi left King Zhou, he defected to Xibo Jichang.

After King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou and conquered Yin, Wei Zi came to the military gate with a sacrificial vessel in hand, bare chest and bare flesh, with his hands tied behind his back, let someone lead the sheep (to reward Zhou Shi), took the grass, and knelt on the ground to go to King Wu. Apologize.

Thatched grass is used for drinking during sacrifices, and handing over thatched grass means surrendering the right to sacrifice and sincere surrender.

So King Wu released Wei Zi and restored his original title.

After the death of King Wu, King Cheng succeeded to the throne, and then there was a rebellion between Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai.

After the chaos of Guan and Cai was settled by Zhou Gong, he enfeoffed the princes and enfeoffed Weizi Qi in the Song Dynasty, established the Song State, replaced the empress of Yin, and wrote "The Order of Weizi" to admonish him.

As a minister, Wei Ziqi did not choose to live and die with the country like his father (tai) teacher and young teacher did when the country was about to perish.

He also didn't offend Yan Zhizhi like Jizi and Bigan, but because of the tyranny of King Zhou, later generations still have a high evaluation of Weiziqi.

After King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, Wei Zi surrendered to the enemies of the Shang Dynasty. Generally speaking, this is wrong.

But King Zhou has always been regarded as a tyrannical king, while Zhou Wen and King Wu are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, so Weizi's conquest of Zhou is also called an act of benevolence.

Confucius in history never used the word "benevolence" to give people easy, but Confucius said "there are three benevolences in Yin", and he was talking about Weizi Qi, Jizi and Bigan.

In Confucius' view, although the practices of the three of them are different, they all meet the requirements of "benevolence".

At this time, although Wu Zixu insisted Qingji to choose Gong Zihong as the heir apparent, he pointed out the deeds of Emperor Yi's following the principle of establishing a son and establishing an elder, and warned Qingji...

If the eldest son is not wise, it may not be impossible to change the eldest son.

However, with the ability of Gong Ziheng, he is completely qualified to be the heir apparent of Wu!
In essence, Wu Zixu is still protecting himself wisely and has the principle of not helping each other.

Throughout the ages, the disasters that have occurred due to the issue of establishing reserves are innumerable.

The most typical example is what Wu Zixu said just now that the Yin and Shang Dynasties were "in chaos compared to the Ninth World".

As we all know, the system of establishing a monarch in the Shang Dynasty was "brothers end up with younger brothers, fathers die and sons succeed".

Since Tianyi is Tang, there have been fourteen kings successively succeeding to the throne according to the principle of "brother ends up with brother".

But counting from Tang, the No. 11 Shang king Zhongding to Yangjia of the Five Dynasties Shang kings are Wairen, Hechanjia, Zuyi, Zuxin, Wojia, Zuding, Nangeng, Xiaoyi, and Xiaoyi. Of the nine generations of the Xin Communist Party, five of them are "brothers end up with brothers".

During this period, brothers, nephews and nephews fought endlessly for the succession to the throne, which caused political chaos and weakened national power. As a result, many Fang countries did not come to worship, and Fang countries rebelled one after another.

Even during the period from Zhongding to Nangeng, the capital was moved five times to avoid further political deterioration, get rid of the old forces, ease domestic conflicts, and choose a favorable geographical location to control the Quartet.

Among the nine Shang kings, only after Zu Yi moved the capital to Yupi, the Shang state was rejuvenated, politically stable, productivity developed, the ability to control the other state was strong, and there was no rebellion.

After Yangjia, his younger brother Pan Geng also moved his capital to Yin for the same reason.

It can be said that Yin Shang's "chaos than the ninth world" was, to a certain extent, self-inflicted...

"Guowei, what do you think?"

Qing Ji set his sights on the Guowei Sun Wu again.

Sun Wu, who originally wanted to stay out of the matter, could only stand up slowly, bowed to Qing Ji on the majesty's platform, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is all right to establish Gong Ziheng or Li Gongzi Hong."

"If it is not based on the eldest son, the king may depose the queen like Zhou Youwang, make Mrs. Rumeng the queen, and then logically make Gong Zihong the heir apparent, it is not impossible..."

"presumptuous!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

All the ministers and officials above the court couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Obviously, none of them thought that Sun Wu could say such rebellious words?

Langzhong Ling Goujian said even more indignantly: "Guowei! The queen is married to the king, the mother of a country, and she has not made any mistakes. How can she be dismissed so easily?"

"Exactly!"

Zhi Su Nei Shi Zeng Dian's face changed even more, and he said: "Since the Queen entered the Sixth Palace, all the wives and princes have been in harmony, there is no mistake, and the king teaches the son, which is highly praised by the government and the public!"

"Where can I find such a worthy queen?"

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Zeng's words fell, Kong Qiu, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help coughing.

Only then did Gou Jian and Zeng Dian react.

Is Sun Wu trying to persuade Qingji to depose Ji Kou as queen?
Do not!
It's impossible!

Sun Tzu's political EQ is extremely high, how could he say such mindless words?

He is using Zhou Youwang's abolishment of Queen Shen and establishment of Baosi, and then the abolition of Prince Ji Yijiu and establishment of Ji Bofu as an example to warn against celebration.

If Qingji wanted to use the excuse that Young Master Hong was more wise and selfish, he could abolish Queen Ji Kou first and make Young Master Hong's biological mother, Mrs. Rumeng, queen.

In this way, Gong Zihong became the eldest son.

Confucius, Zeng Dian, Gou Jian, Deng Xi and other group of ministers will no longer argue, and attack each other on the grounds of "establishing a heir and establishing an elder"...

However, is it possible for Qingji to abolish Ji Kou's position as queen?
"The matter of establishing a reserve is put on hold for now."

Qingji did not make a final decision.

He just wanted to take advantage of this dispute between the concubine and the concubine to test the position of the officials.

Obviously, in terms of abilities and popularity, Young Master Heng is not as good as Young Master Hong.

However, the identity of the eldest son of a concubine blocked the passage for Gong Zihong to become the crown prince.

How can it be?

In Qingji's heart, he was equally optimistic about Gong Ziheng and Gong Zihong.

It is a big taboo to favor Prince Hong.

Qingji knew it all in his heart.

……

After the court meeting, Qingji did not immediately return to Zide Hall to deal with daily government affairs.

Because Yan Ying, the Taibao of the Wu Kingdom, is already ill in bed and will die soon.

How could Qing Ji, as a monarch, not visit Yan Ying?
"Your Majesty..."

"Taibao, just lie down, no need to be polite."

Qingji personally supported Yan Ying on the sickbed, took out a pillow, and let Yan Ying lie down on it.

At this time, Yan Ying was already very old, over eighty years old, and at an octogenarian age, he was already a well-deserved birthday star!
It is worth mentioning that Yan Ying is two or three years older than Jizha...

Yan Ying in history died in 500 BC, but now it is 496 BC.

Thanks to Wu's relatively sound medical conditions, beautiful environment, and peaceful mind, Yan Ying has already lived four years longer than himself in history!
