The Life of the Characters in Ji Jing's Works

Zhou Xuanwang is the son of Zhou Liwang. During the reign of Zhou Liwang, due to years of foreign wars, domestic consumption was huge and the national treasury was empty. Appoint Rong as a scholar, implement a patent policy, turn mountains, rivers, lakes and seas into direct control of the emperor, and prohibit Chinese people from making a living. Chinese people talked about it in succession, and Zhou Liwang ordered Wei Wu to slander them, forbidding them to talk about state affairs, and the offenders would be killed. Zhou Liwang's high-handed policy eventually triggered riots among the people of China.

In 843 (the thirty-seventh year of Zhou Liwang), Chinese people were dissatisfied with Zhou Liwang's tyranny, and Haojing (now Xi, Shaanxi Province) gathered together to besiege the palace with weapons and tried to kill Zhou Liwang. Zhou Liwang fled Haojiang and fled all the way along Weishui to Bi (now Huozhou, Shanxi). China people invaded the palace. Instead of finding Zhou Liwang, they turned to Jingdi. Zhao Mugong hid King Jing, and the people around Zhao Mugong's house called Mu Gong to take a bus out of the Prince. Zhao Mugong was forced to impersonate King Jing with his own son. China people killed Zhao Mugong's son, and King Jing survived.

The people of China calmed down their anger, and after they left, there was no owner. The governors elected Mu Gong and Zhou Wei as the son of heaven (saying * * * Bo, acting as the son of heaven), which was called "* * * and politics" in history.

In 829 (* * * and fourteen years ago), he died at Bi, and King Jing was called to Mu Gong's parents, and Mu Gong, Zhou and his vassals embraced the throne, namely. After Zhou Xuanwang succeeded to the throne, he used foreign troops many times, which made the Zhou Dynasty once present a situation of "peace in all directions and stability in the country". However, the social crisis in the Western Zhou Dynasty was aggravated because of the consumption of national strength in successive years' campaigns. In addition, Zhou Xuanwang acted arbitrarily in his later years, refused to give advice and killed the minister, so Wang Zhongxing's announcement became a flash in the pan. In the spring of 8 17 (the eleventh year), Lu Wugong, the monarch of the state of Lu, played with his eldest son Guo and his youngest son and appeared before the court. Zhou Xuanwang loved Childe Drama and wanted to make it Prince of Lu. Fan Zhongfu, a doctor in Zhou Xuanwang (a Zhongshan mansion), dissuaded him, saying that it was against the old system to waste the long and make the young. He refused to listen and insisted on letting the childe play the Prince of Lu. In the summer of the same year, Lu Wugong died after returning to China, and Lu succeeded to the throne.

807 years ago (twenty-one years ago), the son of Gongzi Kuo attacked and killed Lu, and was named as Lu Jun, which was called "Lu Feigong" in history.

In 797 (thirty-first year of Zhou Xuanwang), Zhou Xuanwang crusaded against Lu and killed the Duke of Lu. Zhou Xuanwang asked the minister who could be the king of Lu. Fan Muzhong said that Lu's younger brother, Gongzi, said that he was solemn and respected the elderly, and law enforcement must follow the etiquette system of the previous dynasty. So I set up a son in the Yi Palace (that is, my grandfather's temple) and called him the king of Lu, for the sake of Lu. After this incident, Zhou's reputation was greatly reduced, and many governors did not obey the king's orders. Repeated battles and defeats Zhou Xuanwang used troops against neighboring tribes many times in his later years, but most of them ended in failure:

In 797 (the 31st year of Zhou Xuanwang), Zhou Xuanwang sent troops to attack Dijon in Taiyuan, but failed.

In 793 (thirty-six years of Zhou Xuanwang), Zhou Xuanwang sent troops to conquer Tiaorong and Benrong (now southwest of Xiaxian County, Shaanxi Province) and suffered a crushing defeat.

790 years ago (in the thirty-ninth year of Zhou Xuanwang), Zhou Xuanwang sent troops to conquer Shen Rong (that is, the western deep country, now the north of Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province) and won. In the same year, Zhou Jun was defeated by Jiang Rong in the battle of 1,000 mu, and Nanshi was completely annihilated. Zhou Xuanwang made a breakthrough with the help of his father. The ceremony of not listening to advice was originally held by the leaders of village communities before some agricultural work began, which encouraged collective farming. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, farmland originally owned by collectives, that is, public land, became the private property of emperors, vassals and nobles, and ritual became an activity for emperors and officials to hold ceremonies to supervise and inspect Shu Ren's farming during spring ploughing, ploughing and harvesting, and to occupy the fruits of Shu Ren's labor for free. During the reign of Zhou Xuanwang, a ceremony was held on less than 1,000 mu of land, and Wen Gong remonstrated with Zhou Xuanwang, but Xuanwang did not listen. Some people think that the well-field system was severely damaged during the Zhou Xuanwang period, public land was privatized in large quantities, Zhou Xuanwang acknowledged the established fact, and the relevant borrowing ceremony was cancelled.

After Zhou Xuanwang lost his teacher in the south, he wanted to hold a census in Taiyuan to supplement his troops and requisition materials. Zhong believes that since ancient times, the population can know the number without census, because Simin is responsible for registering life and death; The secretary is responsible for giving the family name; Stuart is responsible for population exchange; Scott is responsible for executing criminals; The secretary knows the number of staff; Engineers know the number of craftsmen; The company is responsible for population migration; Lin Si is responsible for the migration of population. The population can be known by asking officials, and can also be investigated by managing agriculture. There is no need to waste manpower and material resources to deliberately conduct a census. Zhou Xuanwang did not listen to dissuasion, and finally made a census in Taiyuan. Conquest is a tribe located in the north and northwest of China. During the period of Zhou Liwang, he sent troops to plunder the property and population around Haojing, and was repelled by many friendly troops sent by Wu Gong, the minister. In June, 823 (five years), Xi 'an attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty again. The main force was concentrated in Jiaohuo (now northwest of Jingyang, Shaanxi Province), and the vanguard troops arrived in Jingyang (now Jingyang, Shaanxi Province), which directly threatened the safety of Haojiang and Beijing. Zhou Xuanwang ordered Yin Jifu to fight back. Yin Jifu took Shicheng, Rong Yuan as the pioneer, defeated the stubborn people in Peng Ya (now northeast of Baishui, Shaanxi Province) for three miles a day, and then pursued them to Taiyuan (now near Pingliang, Gansu Province). Zhou Xuanwang also sent the South China Army to Shuofang (the northern border area) for fortification, thus reducing the threat of diehards. Before 8 16, Zhou Xuanwang sent Guo Jizi to attack Guan Yu for nothing, and defeated Guan Yu in the north bank of Luoshui, beheading 500 people and taking 50 prisoners. Guo Jizi also ordered his men to pursue the stubborn people who had retreated to Luoshui and win when he held the ceremony of offering prisoners to Bai Huichao. After the first world war, the Western Zhou Dynasty dismissed the stubborn Han, held a grand celebration for Ji in the ancestral temple, commended his achievements, gave him war horses, bows and arrows, bows and axes, and gave him the right to conquer barbarians. The conquest of Xirong Xirong is the floorboard of ancient western tribes in China, which threatened the western border of the Western Zhou Dynasty for a long time. During the reign of Zhou Xuanwang, he repeatedly ordered the vassals to conquer Xirong. In 825 (the fourth year of Zhou Xuanwang), Zhou Xuanwang appointed Qin Zhong as a doctor and ordered him to lead troops to conquer Xirong. In 823 (the sixth year of Zhou Xuanwang), Qin Zhong was defeated and killed. Zhou Xuanwang summoned five brothers, Qin Zhuanggong, the son of Qin Zhong, gave them seven thousand soldiers and ordered them to crusade against Xirong. Qin Zhuanggong defeated Xirong, and Zhou Xuanwang named Qin Zhuanggong the doctor of Xihuang (now Gansu) and the land of luoquan Hill (Lixian, Gansu).

In addition, the state of Jin was ordered to conquer Xirong many times. In 806 (the 23rd year of Zhou Xuanwang), Jin Muhou led an army to attack Tiaorong (now southwest of Xiaxian County, Shanxi Province). In the first 803 (twenty-six years), he defeated the local Rong nationality in (now Jiexiu South, Shanxi). 79 1 (thirty-eight years ago in Zhou Xuanwang), Beirong was defeated in Fenshui and Jishui. Huaiyi Huaiyi in the Eastern Expedition is the Dongyi tribe in the Huaihe River and Hanjiang River, also known as Nanhuaiyi, Huainan Yi or Nanyi. Since Zhou Muwang's time, it has become powerful and invaded Yishui and Luoshui basins many times. During the period, Hubei monarch, Hou Lian and Dong Yi, as the southern barriers of the Western Zhou Dynasty, attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty on a large scale and went deep into the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty. Mobilized the sixth Western Division and the eighth Yin Division to send Guo to conquer his father, but failed to win. Thanks to the mobilization chariot 100, 200 soldiers and 1000 disciples sent by the minister martial arts, Ezhou was finally defeated, captured and destroyed. Guo, the father of Hehe, led his army to conquer Huaiyi to Jiaojiao (now Huaiyin South, Jiangsu Province), Tianjin (now Baoying South, Jiangsu Province), Tong (now Tongcheng North, Anhui Province) and Qi (now Huoqiu Southwest, Anhui Province), and finally put down the rebellion. After the war, Huaiyi was shocked by the strength of the Zhou Dynasty and surrendered slightly.

In 823 (the fifth year of Zhou Xuanwang), Zhou Xuanwang ordered Yin Jifu to collect textiles, treasures, food and labor from Huaiyi, and issued a decree stipulating that Huaiyi's business should not disturb the local public security and market order. Later, because Huai Yi stopped paying tribute and rebelled again, Zhou Xuanwang ordered Mu Gong to lead an army to conquer. According to the inscription, as the commander-in-chief of Qi, Qi, Lai and other countries, he wiped out four leaders, including Ran, Yi, Ling and Da, and gained prisoners, livestock and property, making meritorious deeds. After this war, Huaiyi completely surrendered to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Xu was a powerful country in Dongyi during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Later, under the constant attack of the Zhou Dynasty, some tribes of Xu moved south to the Huaihe River basin and gradually developed into the strongest one in China. When Zhou Xuanwang was in power, he ordered Nanzhong and Taizu of Qing Dynasty to rectify Saturday's division in Taizu Hall, and then led an army to conquer with their divorced fathers. After fierce fighting, Zhou Jun defeated Guo Xu. After Xu captured, the countries and tribes around him surrendered to Zhou. Before 8 10, Nanzhong sent the foal father and the high father to Huaiyi, and all countries and tribes were ordered to meet the envoys and present their belongings. The crushed Chu State, also known as Man Jing, was made a viscount by the Zhou Emperor, but the Chu State rarely assumed the duties and tribute obligations of the Zhou royal family. In addition, Zhou Tianzi's policy of restraining the development of Chu, discrimination against the monarch of Chu and repeated usurpations led to the crusade of Zhou royal family. In August, 823 (the fifth year of Zhou Xuanwang), during the Zhou Xuanwang period, the veteran and etiquette led three thousand troops to attack Chu with chariots and horses, and won a great victory. It is estimated that Zhou Xuanwang used as many as 36,000 troops to attack Chu this time. Gong Chu chimes unearthed from the tomb of Jin Muhou should have been given to Jin Muhou by Zhou Xuanwang as a trophy. After the above series of wars, the territory and national prestige of the Western Zhou Dynasty were greatly expanded. In Zhou Youwang, Tai Shiboyang's father consulted historical records. In the Xia Dynasty, two dragons claimed to praise the monarch and stayed in Wang Xia's yard. After divination, it is ominous to kill or drive away the dragon, but it is auspicious to collect saliva foam left by the dragon. Then, Wang Xia ordered a prayer to the dragon, collected the saliva foam left by the dragon and sealed it in a box, which was never opened when it arrived in Zhou Liwang. At the end of Zhou Liwang's reign, he ordered to open the box to watch. Saliva foam flows in the hospital and cannot be removed. Zhou Liwang decided to use witchcraft to remove it, and ordered the woman to call it naked. The saliva turned into a black lizard and disappeared into a seven-year-old virgin in the harem. The virgin was pregnant before marriage during the ceremony, so she abandoned the girl she gave birth to. Arrived, I sang a ballad: "It's really the death of Zhou." I happened to meet a couple selling bows and arrows, and Zhou Xuanwang ordered them to be arrested and executed. They found the abandoned girl on their way to Guobao and adopted her. Later, when people praised people for committing crimes, they sent an adult girl to Zhou Youwang to make amends. This girl is a compliment. Zhou Youwang's love and praise led to the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
