During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many wonderful stories happened and many idioms were left behind. Among them, many idioms and allusions of Qi Huangong spread to later generations. Among them, it is well known that the old horse knows the way, the friendship between Guan Bao and Gao Bao, the high-spirited and irrelevant stories, and so on. Here are some of them.
It is said that Qi Huangong proposed to establish hegemony at that time? Respect the king and oppose the foreign countries? Slogan, on the one hand, maintained respect for the Zhou royal family, on the other hand, supported each other against foreigners. Soon after this slogan was put forward, Shanrong, who was far away in the north, jumped out to attack Yan State. At that time, the Shanrong tribe was active in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Yan suffered greatly. After receiving the request for support from Yan, Qi Huangong led the troops to help Yan. )
The strength of the Qi army is far from what Shan Rong can resist. Soon he defeated the army of Shanrong all the way, even counterattacked, wiped out all the countries in Shanrong, and then marched all the way to overthrow the solitary bamboo country. However, due to the complex terrain and numerous hills, King Qi Huan and others got lost in a valley, and several teams of scouts went out without results. There is a huge problem in the supply of troops. If they can't find a way out, they may die here. At this time, Guanzhong thought hard and said to Qi Huangong. The old horse here must know the way. If you let the old horse lead the way, you can definitely get out. ? Sure enough, under the leadership of several old horses, the Qi army quickly went out to find the solitary bamboo country and destroyed it. Since then, the story of the old horse finding his way has spread.
For example, there is a friendship between Guan and Bao, which describes the deep friendship between two people who know each other. At that time, if it weren't for Bao's recommendation, Guan Zhong might have died in his hand long ago, and there would be no overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.
What's wrong with chasing white deer in Qi Huangong?
Generally speaking, the protagonists in novels and TV plays often meet grandpa's guidance. Qi Huangong, like the hero, often meets old people outside. For example, he met a deer? Gong Yu? The old man pointed out that he should rectify bureaucracy. This time he went out to chase a deer and met an old man.
Speaking of this day, Qi Huangong took advantage of the fine weather to go hunting. I met a white deer, chased it all the way to Mai Qiu, and saw an old man with white hair. When Qi Huangong saw the old man, he asked: How old is the old man? The man replied:? 83 years old. ? At that time, 83 years old had a long life, so Qi Huangong lamented that he really lived a long life. So he sat with the old man and had a drink. Qi Huangong said? Please bless me, old man. ? So the old man blessed Qi Huangong in his own way, and the first sentence was? Let my monarch live a long life, gold and silver are not expensive, only the people are more precious. ? Qi Huangong thinks what he said is very reasonable. Let the old man say more.
The old man went on to say: Let my monarch learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. His men are all good ministers. ? Qi Huangong thought that the old man must have come to give him directions, so he added, so the old man said? I hope the people will not offend the king, and the king will not offend the people. ? Qi Huangong thought this sentence was not as good as the first two sentences, so he asked the old man to change it, but the old man cried and said that this sentence was more important than the first two sentences. The people offended the king, and some people forgave him. The king offended the people and now they have no excuse. ? Hearing the old man's sincere words, Qi Huangong felt that he could meet such a wise man. This is a great blessing, so I recommend him to be an official. Qi Huangong can dominate the world, not only because of Guan Zhong, but also because of this experience.
Why does Qi Huangong eat people?
Eating human flesh has been a common thing since ancient times. In many chaotic times, people have changed their food. In military wars, there are countless things that eat human flesh as military food. Even a national hero like Yue Fei has written it? Strong man hungry for pork? A classic poem. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong had a record of eating human flesh.
Qi Huangong, as the first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, has always had a high status. It can be said that he ate all the delicacies he could have at that time. Once he jokingly said to his chef Yi Ya: I have eaten everything in my life, but I have never eaten human flesh. ? At first, it was just a joke, and Qi Huangong was just talking about it. But Yi Ya is a mean person. The pursuit of power made him take this sentence seriously. After returning home, he killed his 3-year-old son and steamed it into patties for Qi Huangong to eat. ? Tiger poison doesn't eat children? And Yiya actually killed her son directly and made meat pies for people to eat, which is simply worse than animals.
How does Qi Huangong feel now that he has eaten human flesh? In fact, when Qi Huangong knew that he was eating human flesh, his heart was very uncomfortable. After all, as a highly intelligent civilized species, human beings are quite resistant to eating the same kind of things. But when he learned that Yiya had killed his son and cooked it for himself, hoping to bless Qi Huangong's health and all the best, he was very moved. He thinks that Yi Ya loves himself more than his son, so Qi Huangong loves Yi Ya more. But in fact, imagine that a man can kill his son to please the king, so what can the king give him? What can give him more in return than a son?
What policies has Qi Huangong reformed?
As is known to all, Qi Huangong appointed Guan Zhong to reform the various systems of Qi, which greatly increased the national strength of Qi and finally succeeded in becoming a contemporary hegemon. So, what aspects were involved in Qi Huangong's reform? Next, I will systematically introduce the reform in Qi Huangong to you.
First of all, Qi Huangong made full use of his political advantages. After all, his ancestor is Jiang Taigong, and he is very famous. Through his political position, he vigorously developed the Qi army at that time and implemented the people's army system. When he is not fighting, he is an ordinary farmer. When he wants to fight, he can go to the battlefield. This can not only solve the military pressure of the country, but also ensure the development of agriculture. At the same time, farmers in a place are woven together, which ensures the familiarity between soldiers and is conducive to enhancing combat effectiveness. Zhou Li? As an excuse? Zhou Tianzi used the guise of waging war. After many wars, Qi's army became stronger and stronger after the baptism of blood and fire, and established three armies.
Apart from the military, Qi Huangong has also made positive changes in its economy. Has he implemented it? Reject each other? By classifying land according to the quality of soil and collecting different taxes, the land form of well-field system has been changed, the legitimacy of private land has been recognized, and ordinary people have been actively encouraged to plant it themselves. At the same time, reducing taxes made people's lives more comfortable, allowed them to have more children, and increased the population of Qi, which was very important for ancient times when population was wealth. At the same time, the quasi-equality policy is implemented, which narrows the gap between the rich and the poor and ensures the livelihood of farmers.
The secret of Qi Huangong's son's struggle for the throne
Although he was a wise man for most of his life, he brought Qi to the peak of the Central Plains. However, in his later years, his prospects were bleak, not only because he was imprisoned by his men, but also because his sons were unreliable. None of them visited their poor old father and let Qi Huangong starve to death in court. So what is Qi Huangong's son like?
Qi Huangong always had several wives in his life, but none of them had sons, so according to the time, Qi Huangong had no sons? No standing, no standing, no standing? In the end, I chose the son Zhao as the heir, but in my later years, I loved the villain and loved the son's mother, so I made those villains ready to move. When Qi Huangong was seriously ill and imprisoned by a bunch of little people, all his sons were busy fighting for power and profit, ignoring Qi Huangong and letting Qi Huangong die in the corner.
After Qi Huangong's death, Yi Ya and other treacherous officials supported the son without loss and struggled with Zhao, the son who had to leave Song Dynasty. But after all, the son without loss was not a prince and had no right to inherit. So under the leadership of childe merchants, other childe fight childe without loss, national war. Among them, Yong's son fled to Qin, and was reused by the king of Qin and integrated into the life of Qin. During the civil strife in Qi State, Childe Zhao got the help of Song State and joined forces with other countries to fight against Childe, without loss. With the help of many allied governors, childe Zhao successfully defeated childe without loss and became Qi Xiaogong. However, after the withdrawal of the Song Dynasty, childe merchants joined forces with childe Pan and others to attack Qi Qigong again, and Qi Qigong had to flee to the Song Dynasty again for help. Later, Qi died in 10, and then the son merchants killed others to become Qi, but they were killed because of tyranny and helplessness in a few years, so Qi recruited Yuan, the son who had gone to defend the country at that time, for the sake of Qi. After Qi's death, the process of Qi Huangong's sons' succession ended.
