The tenth king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, surnamed Ji, named Hu. Zhou Yiwang's son. He was in office from 858 BC to 828 BC. During the reign, he repeatedly used traitors, did not listen to the advice of the sage and he, implemented a brutal "patent" policy, enslaved the people and deprived them of the slightest freedom of speech, so that pedestrians could only use their eyes to signal. As a result, the state power of the Zhou Dynasty declined further, and state affairs became more corrupt. The people complained bitterly, so they began to gather, rushed into the palace, and tried to assassinate Li Guowang, known as the "Han riots" in history. Li Wang had to escape from Haojiang River, cross the Yellow River and escape to the border of Zhou Dynasty-Wei Xiao died in Huoxian County, Shanxi Province today. Zhou died in 14. Posthumous title is Li Wang. Zhou Liwang stopped slandering Li's tyranny, and people all over the world denounced Li. Zhao Mugong played: "The people can't stand the king's orders!" In a rage, King Li found the witch who protected the country and sent him to spy on those who publicly accused him. The wizard reported these people to King Li and killed them. People in Beijing dare not speak, but look at each other with their eyes on the road. Li told me: "I can stop slandering, and finally everyone is afraid to speak." Zhao Gong said, "This is to shut them up. It is better to block the people's mouth than the river. The blockage of the river and the breaking of the dam must have hurt many people. The people are like this river. Therefore, those in charge of the river should be unblocked and unblocked, and those in charge should be allowed to talk. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven ruled over the political affairs, ordered all the ministers to offer poems, music officials to offer songs, historians to offer books, Shao Shi to offer proverbs, blind people to recite poems, and various craftsmen to remonstrate their merits. The people invited people to send messages, and the ministers tried their best to encourage them, and the relatives made up the overseers, the teachers and officials taught them, and the elders sorted out and clarified them. Then the king considered implementing them. Therefore, politics can be carried out without violating things. People have mouths, just like the land has mountains and rivers, from which wealth comes out; As if the land has plateaus, depressions, plains and irrigated fields, food and clothing all come from here. Mouth is used to express opinions, and the quality of political affairs is based on it. Practicing good and preventing evil is the foundation of wealth and food and clothing. People say what they think openly, and the son of heaven wants to fulfill them and put their opinions into practice. How can we stop them? If you block the people's mouths, how long can it last? " Li Guowang didn't listen. So people in Beijing dare not speak again. Three years later, Li was banished to Bibi (now northeast of Huo County, Shanxi Province) and died there. According to historical records, after death, his son Hu succeeded to the throne. Li ascended the throne for 30 years, greedy for money and profit, and close to Rong Yigong. Doctor Rui advised Li, "I'm afraid the royal family is going to decline!" That Rong Gong only likes to monopolize money and interests, but he doesn't understand great disasters. Wealth comes from all kinds of things, and it is naturally owned by heaven and earth. Anyone who wants to monopolize it is harmful. Everyone should get a piece of everything between heaven and earth. How can it be monopolized by one person? Monopoly will anger many people, but they don't know how to prevent catastrophe. Rong lures you with money and profits. Can you last long, king? To be a gentleman, we must develop all kinds of property and distribute it to the upper and lower officials and people. So that god, man and everything can get their due share, even so, we should be careful every day to avoid resentment. Therefore, the Book of Songs says:' My ancestor Hou Jide's merits are higher than heaven and earth. There's no one who doesn't respect you for growing grain and raising people. "'Daya' said:' Give charity and start business in the week.' Isn't this Buschliello, alert to disaster? It is precisely because of this that the late king was able to establish the career of the Zhou Dynasty until now. But now, king, you must learn to monopolize money and profits. How to do this? Ordinary people monopolize money and profits, but they are still called robbers; If you do the same, fewer people will submit to you. If Yung Wing is reused, the Zhou Dynasty will surely perish. "Li Wang did not listen to the admonition, but still appointed Rong Gong as a gentleman and was in charge of state affairs. Li Guowang is overbearing and arrogant, and all China people openly talk about his shortcomings. Zhao Gong protested: "The people can't stand your orders! "King Li was angry, so he found a wizard to defend the country and asked him to keep an eye on those who talked about it. When he found out, he reported it and killed it immediately. As a result, fewer people said it, but the governors didn't come to worship. In thirty-four years, Li Guowang became more powerful, and no one dared to speak again. When they met on the road, they could only make eyes at each other. Li was very happy to see this scene and told: "I can eliminate people's comments on me." They dare not speak. Zhao Gong said: "This just blocked their retreat." . Blocking a person's mouth is more powerful than blocking the current. There is more water, and once it is broken, it will definitely hurt more people; It's the same with not letting people talk. Therefore, people who control water should talk to let the water flow smoothly, and people who control people should also let them talk. Therefore, the son of heaven governs state affairs, so that there are poems satirizing the gains and losses of state affairs from public officials to officials. Blind musicians should provide music that reflects people's feelings. Historians should provide history books as reference. Musicians' leaders should give advice. Some blind musicians read poems provided by public officials and officials, while others read exhortations. Officials can directly remonstrate, and civilians can transfer their meaning to the Emperor. The nearest official should give a warning. People have mouths, just like there are mountains and rivers on the earth, where goods and tools are produced; The people have a mouth, as if there is fertile land on the earth, where clothes and food are also produced. The people have spoken their minds, and what is good and what is bad in politics can be seen from here. Good things will be implemented and bad things will be prevented, just like the earth's property is used to make clothes and food. Say what you think in your heart, and do it when you think about it. If you gag them, how long can it last! "Li didn't listen to the king. Since then, people in China have been afraid to speak. Three years later, everyone rebelled together and attacked Li Wang. Li, King of Qi, fled to Zhan (Zhi Dou, Zhi Dou).
