The Legend of God

Chapter 2 Jizhou Hou Suhu Anti-Business (1)
Jizhou Hou Suhu's second anti-Shang poem said:
The prime minister, Jin Luan, remonstrates directly with the emperor, who can be loyal to the liver, righteousness and courage.If I had known that Hou Bo was coming to make a pilgrimage, I would have spent nothing on the paper.

It is said that King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard the play, and returned to the palace immediately.After one night, the next day morning, two classes of civil and military officials gathered to celebrate the end.King Zhou asked the driving officer: "That is to say, I will pass on my decree to the princes of the four towns, and I will choose a hundred beauties from good families in each town. No matter rich or poor, they will only be dignified in appearance, gentle in temperament, leisurely in manners, and gentle in manners." Generous, to restrain the servants of the harem." Before the emperor delivered the decree, he saw a member of the left class responding, prostrated himself and said: "The old minister Shang Rongqi played to your Majesty: If the king has the way, the people will enjoy their work, and follow without orders. Kuang, there are thousands of beauties in your Majesty's harem, and there are concubines and concubines. Now I want to choose beauties in the sky, and I am afraid that I will lose the popularity of the people. I heard: "He who enjoys the joy of the people, the people also enjoy it; those who worry about the people's worries , the people are also worried about their worries.' At this time, floods and droughts are still frequent, but it is a matter of female sex, and it is true that your majesty does not take it. Therefore, Yao and Shun enjoyed themselves with the people, and transformed the world with benevolence and virtue. , the nectar falls, the phoenix stops in the garden, vermilion grass grows in the wild, the people prosper and the things are rich, pedestrians give way, dogs don’t bark, it rains every night and the day is sunny, rice grows two ears, these are the signs of the prosperity of Taoism. If Your Majesty takes The joy of recent times is dizzying, listening to obscene sounds, indulging in wine and sex, wandering in gardens and hunting in mountains and forests. Encourage Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will advance to the virtuous and retreat unscrupulously, practice benevolence and righteousness, and understand morality, so that harmony will permeate the world. It is right to cultivate one's virtue, to love one's people, to cherish one's wealth, and to respect one's orders. Although Yao and Shun are not as good as this, why should one select one's servants for pleasure? The ministers are foolish and don't know taboos, so I hope they will be tolerated." King Zhou pondered for a long time. He said: "Your words are very kind, so I will refrain from doing them." After saying that, all the ministers retreated from the court, and the holy car returned to the palace without question.

Unexpectedly, in the summer and April of the eighth year of King Zhou, the four great princes of the world led eight hundred towns to make a pilgrimage to Shang.The princes of the four towns?They are Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu, Nanbo Marquis E Chongyu, Xibo Marquis Jichang, and Beibo Marquis Chonghou Hu.The princes of the world all advance to the court song.At this time, Grand Master Wen Zhong was not in the capital, and King Zhou favored Fei Zhong and You Hun.All the princes know that the two control the government and exercise power without authorization, so they should not give gifts and bribes first to tie their hearts.As the saying goes: Before going to the emperor, come to pay homage to the gentleman first.There is a prince in the middle, he is the Marquis of Jizhou, surnamed Su and Minghu.This person's nature is like a raging fire, and he is upright and upright. How can he know the fate of running?In the past, when I saw a little injustice and lawlessness, I punished them according to the law. There were many pretexts, so neither of them gave any gifts.It's also a coincidence. On that day, the two checked that all the princes in the world had gifts, but Du Suhu didn't have a list of etiquette. He was very angry and held a grudge.No problem.On the auspicious morning of New Year's Day, the emperor's early court, set up two civil and military classes to gather, and all the officials paid homage to them.The officials of the Huangmen Gate said to His Majesty: "This year is the year of court congratulations. All the princes of the world are congratulating outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the sound of the jade to fall." King Zhou asked the Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Rong said: "Your Majesty can only announce to the leaders of the four towns. Your Majesty, please ask about the customs of the people, Chun Pang pours out trembling, the country is governed and the country is in peace; the rest of the princes are all congratulating outside the Meridian Gate." The emperor was very happy when he heard the words: "Your words are very good." He ordered the officials of the Huangmen to pass the decree and announce the four The princes of the town saw him, and the rest of the Meridian Gate congratulated them.

It is said that the princes of the four towns neatly dressed in court clothes, swayed the jade pendant lightly, entered the Meridian Gate, walked across the Jiulong Bridge, and arrived at Danchi.Wang Weilao said: "Qing and I have promoted and praised the transformation, caressed the people of Sui, suppressed the famine and served them, Weiyuan and Ningyou, and many are hardworking, all of which are due to the merits of Qing and others. My heart is very happy." Dong Bohou said: "The ministers are blessed by the Holy Grace, and the officials live in the main town. The ministers are in charge of themselves, trembling day and night, often fearing that they will not be able to bear the burden. There is a sacred heart. In case of an ear, why bother the Sacred Heart. I am very grateful." The emperor Long Yan was overjoyed, and ordered the prime ministers Shang Rong and Ya Bigan to hold a banquet in the Xianqing Hall.The four ministers kowtowed their heads and thanked each other. They left Danchi and went to Xiande Hall.

The emperor retreated to the side hall, and Xuan Feizhong and You Hun asked, "The former Qing played to me and wanted to order the princes of the four towns in the world to enter beautiful women. I wanted to issue an order, but Shang Rong advised against it. Now the princes of the four towns Here, I will be summoned tomorrow morning and promulgated in person, and when the four of them return to the country, they will be able to select the offerings and avoid envoys going back and forth. What do you think of the second minister?" Fei Zhong bowed down and said: "The prime minister advises against the selection of beauties. Tolerance, that is, to stop the decree, this virtue is also known to the ministers, the public knows it, and the world admires it. Once it is resumed today, it is because your majesty is not enough to win the trust of the subjects. It must not be done. The minister recently visited Jizhou Hou Suhu has a daughter. She is beautiful and beautiful, with a leisurely and gentle personality. If you choose to enter the palace curtain and serve as a servant, you can serve as a servant. What's more, if you choose a daughter of one person, she will not disturb the people of the world, and she will not impress the eyes and ears." Hearing this, King Zhou felt very happy. He said: "Your words are very good." That is to say, he ordered the servant to deliver the decree and announce Suhu.The mission came to Guanyi to pass on the decree: Xuanjizhou Hou Suhu discussed state affairs.Su Hu immediately went to Longde hall with his mission, and after the court ceremony, he fell down and obeyed orders.The king said: "I heard that you have a daughter who is virtuous and moderate, and I want to choose her as a servant in the harem. You are a relative of the state, eat her heavenly salary, and accept her prominent position. She will live in Jizhou forever, enjoy peace and become famous all over the world. Everyone in the world is envious. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Su Hu listened to the words, and said solemnly: "In your Majesty's palace, there are thousands of concubines and concubines, all of whom are coquettish and charming. Why can't they please the king's eyes and ears? Listening to the flattering words of the left and right, traps Your Majesty in injustice. Kuang Chen's daughter Pu Liu is of poor quality, and she is not well versed in etiquette. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to know that your Majesty is upright and self-cultivating, accepts words and listens to advice, and is not a lustful king?” King Zhou laughed and said, “Your words don’t understand the general principles. , You are the enemy of the emperor, you are the emperor's relatives, you are proud, what is more than this. Don't be confused, you should judge yourself." Su Hu heard the words, and said sharply: "I heard that the king cultivates virtue and is diligent in politics. Then all the people will be satisfied, the four seas will follow, and the fortune of heaven will end forever. In the past, there was a Xia Dynasty who lost power and wasted and debauched. Only my ancestors were not sensual, did not breed goods and wealth, were virtuous and generous in officials, meritorious in rewards, and restrained lenient and benevolent. There is a summer in the Zhengzheng, and the people will be trusted. The state is its city, and the destiny will be preserved forever. Today, your majesty does not follow the ancestors, but imitates the king of Xia. Destroy the ancestral temple; if the common people love sex, they will kill the thief. And the king is the standard of the minister, if the king does not follow the way, the minister will not change it, but friends are enemies, the world is still patient! The minister is afraid of the merchants Your Majesty must be in disarray for more than [-] years of foundation." Hearing Su Hu's words, King Zhou was furious and said: "You will not wait for the order of the king; you will not dare to disobey the gift of death. What's more, I chose your daughter as a concubine. Huh? Dare to disobey the order with stupid words, beat me face to face, and compare me to the king of a subjugated country. What is more disrespectful than this! Then follow the servants out of the Meridian Gate and send them to the judge to inquire about the Dharma." The left and right generals Su Huna Down.Fei Zhong and You Hun were transferred out, and they fell down in the hall and said: "Su Hu disobeyed the order, and should have been questioned. But because your majesty chose to serve his daughter, he offended him, and the world heard it. His majesty despised the virtuous and valued the color, and blocked it." The way of speaking is that if you don't pardon him and return to the country, he feels the emperor's grace of not killing him, so he naturally sends his daughter to the palace to serve the emperor. The common people know that your majesty is magnanimous, accepts advice and tolerates flow, and protects meritorious ministers. The meaning of killing two birds with one stone. I hope that your Majesty will implement it." When King Zhou heard the words, Tianyan Shaoji said, "I played it according to Qing." That is to say, he was pardoned and ordered to return to the country, and he was not allowed to restrain the court song for a long time.

Speaking of the imperial decree, it was as swift as a beacon, and it urged Su Hu to leave the city without stopping.When Su Huci went back to the post pavilion, all the families would meet him and express his condolences: "What's your discussion when the sage summons the general to enter the court?" The flattering words of the minister want to choose my daughter to enter the palace as a concubine. This must be Fei Zhong and You Hun, who have deceived the king's heart with wine and sex, and want to dominate the government. The two thieves played the faint king again, pardoning me to return to the country, forgive me for not killing the faint king, and will definitely send my daughter to the court song, so as to fulfill the two thieves' schemes. I want to hear that the grand master is on an expedition, and the two thieves take power. Seeing the faint king will be licentious Wine and lust, chaos in the government, desolation of the world, people hanging upside down, poor Chengtang and Sheji vanished into nothingness. I thought to myself that if this woman is not paid as tribute, the foolish king will have a teacher who questioned the sinner; Make the world laugh at my ignorance. The generals will have good strategies to teach me." All the generals heard the words and said: "I heard: 'If the king is not upright, the minister will go to a foreign country.' If you go against the song of the court, you can defend your own country. You can protect the clan at the top, and you can protect the family at the bottom." At this time, Su Hu was in a rage, and when he heard this, he didn't feel aroused, and he didn't even think about it, so he said: "A real man must not do things that he does not understand." Ask the left and right to take the four treasures of the study, and write a poem on the wall of the Meridian Gate: "It means that I will not return to business." The poem said:
If the monarch is bad for the ministers, there will be defeat of the five constants.Su Hu of Jizhou will never go to Shang.

Su Hu wrote a poem, and the leader of the family would leave Chaoge and head for the country.

He also said that King Zhou could not fulfill his wish when he saw Su Hu arguing face to face: "Although Fei You and his son are allowed to play, I don't know that he may send his daughter to the deep palace for my joy in Fei." Seeing the Meridian Gate, the minister fell down and said: "I am at the Meridian Gate. I saw the sixteen characters of Su Hufan's poems on the wall. I dare not hide it. I beg for the holy judge."When King Zhou saw it, he scolded: "The thief is so rude! I have the virtue of living in heaven. If I don't kill rats and thieves, I am pardoned and returned to the country. He wrote a poem about the Meridian Gate and insulted the court. The crime is unforgivable!" : "Xuan Yin is ruined, Chao Tian, ​​Lu Xiong and others command the six divisions. I must personally conquer and destroy their country."After a while, Lu Xiong and others finished their court ceremony.The king said: "Su Hu's anti-Shang inscription on the Meridian Gate is a great insult to the court. The situation is extremely hateful and the law cannot be tolerated. Qing and others commanded [-] troops as pioneers, and I personally led the six divisions to claim his crime." Lu Xiong listened. , bowed his head and thought to himself: "Su Hu is a loyal and good man. He has always been loyal and righteous. If he disobeys the emperor, he wants to conquer himself, and Jizhou will stop." The imperial conquest. Moreover, the princes of the four major towns are all in the capital and have not yet returned to the country. Your Majesty can order one or two conquests to capture Su Hu, and to rectify his crimes. He will not lose the prestige of attacking. Why should Shengjia go far away?" The king asked: "Who among the four lords can conquer?" Fei Zhong was nearby, and he went out to play and said: "Jizhou is under the northern Chonghou Hu, and you can order Hou Hu to conquer." King Zhou allowed it to be implemented.Lu Xiong was at the side, thinking to himself: "Chonghou Hu is a greedy, contemptible and tyrannical man. When he raises his troops and goes on an expedition, the places he passes will be destroyed. How can the people of Li live in peace? Seeing that there is Xibo Jichang, who is full of benevolence and virtue, and has a long history of faith and righteousness. Why not Guaranteed this man, the common people will have both." King Zhou ordered to deliver the decree, and Lu Xiong said: "Although Hou Hu is in the north, his kindness and trust have not yet been accorded to others, and I am afraid that this trip will not extend the court's mighty virtue. It is not as good as Xibo Jichang, I have heard of benevolence and righteousness, if your Majesty pretends to use the axe, he will capture Su Hu and correct his crime without laboring on the arrow." King Zhou thought for a long time, and he was ready to play.A special decree was given to Erhou Bingjie's Yue to be conscripted exclusively.The mission went to the Xianqing Hall to read the decree without question.

I saw that the princes of the four towns and the second minister were having a banquet, and they suddenly heard the order, but they didn't know what happened.The angel said: "Xibohou and Beibohou will receive the order." The second marquis attended to receive the order and knelt down to listen to the reading.The imperial edict said:
I have heard that crowns and shoes are divided into two parts, and there are no two ways to make things happen.Therefore, the king ordered the call, but did not wait for the call; the king gave death, and dared not return the order.That's why it's high and low, and envoys are respected.I don't understand that Su Hu was mad and disrespectful, set up a palace to disobey the king, Ji Gang was lost, was pardoned and returned to the country, did not think about reforming himself, dared to write poems at the Meridian Gate, and rebelled against the Lord with peace of mind, the crime is unforgivable.Give Er Jichang and others a festival axe, do things cheaply, and punish them for their disobedience, but they will not be lenient, and the crime will be punished.Therefore, I hereby instruct you to go.Qinzai!thank you.
