Mr. Zhao

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the patriarchal clan and ministers were of the same generation as King Wu and Duke Dan of Zhou.

After assisting King Wu of Zhou Dynasty to destroy Shang Dynasty, Ji Xun was granted the title of Ji (today's Beijing) and established the state of Yan (Northern Yan), a vassal state of Western Zhou Dynasty. However, he sent his eldest son Jike to manage the state of Yan, and he remained in Haojing (now Chang'an, Shaanxi Province) to assist the imperial court. Because it was founded in Zhao (now in the southwest of Qishan, Shaanxi), it was called Zhaogong or Zhaobo or Zhaogong.

After the death of King Wu of Zhou, his son, King Cheng of Zhou, succeeded to the throne. Ji Xun was in power. He was well versed in politics and people. The nobility and the common people had their own places, so he was deeply loved. He once worked under a pear tree, and later generations were reluctant to cut down this tree in memory of him, which was praised in the book of songs. After the death of King Cheng of Zhou, Ji Xun assisted King Kang of Zhou and created a "rule of Chengkang" with "no punishment for 40 years", which laid a solid foundation for more than 800 years of Zhou Dynasty.

Life of the characters

Bei Yan

In 1122 B.C., King Wu of Zhou followed Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, to defeat the Shang army in the battle of Muye. Xin (King Zhou of Shang), the last emperor of Shang Dynasty, burned himself to death, and the Shang Dynasty perished. Zhou GongDan, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, was holding a big Yue, while Ji Xun was holding a small Yue. He held a sacrificial ceremony to assist King Wu of Zhou to announce emperor Xin's guilt to heaven and the people of Shang Dynasty. After King Wu of Zhou perished the Shang Dynasty, he established the regime of Zhou Dynasty, which is known as the Western Zhou Dynasty in history.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, in order to consolidate the political power, King Wu of Zhou implemented the system of enfeoffment, and granted the meritorious officials and clans, so he sealed Ji Xun in Jidi (today's Beijing), and established the state of Yan (also known as Beiyan), a vassal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, Ji Xun didn't go to Jidi, but sent his eldest son Ji Ke to manage Jidi. He stayed in the capital city of Haojing (now Chang'an, Shaanxi Province) and continued to assist the Zhou royal family. Therefore, King Wu of Zhou granted the place of Zhao (now Wujun village, Chengguan Town, Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province), the capital of the capital (the capital of the state and its surrounding areas), to Ji Xun, so it was called Zhao Bo, Zhao Gong or Zhao Gong.

Divide Shaanxi and govern it

In the 12th year of King Wu of Zhou (1045 BC), King Wu of Zhou died and his son Jisong succeeded him to the throne. At that time, King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty was in Fengdi, and Ji Xun was ordered to build Luoyi to fulfill the will of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. Soon, Ji was appointed as one of the three princes. From the west of Shandi (now Shanxian County in Henan Province), it was in charge of Ji Ji; from the east of Shandi, it was in charge of Zhou GongDan.

King Cheng of Zhou was still young. He acted as regent of the state. Ji Xun was suspicious of him. He wrote Jun Xun. It is said in Junji that Ji didn't like Zhou GongDan's way of doing things. Zhou GongDan said: "in Shang Tang, Yiyin was praised by heaven; in Taiwu, yizhi and Chenhu were praised by God, and Wuxian ruled the royal family; in Zuyi, Wuxian; in Wuding, ganban. It was by virtue of these virtuous officials that the Shang Dynasty was managed steadily. " After hearing this, Ji was happy.

Assistant of administration

When Ji ran the area to the west of Shaanxi, he was deeply supported by the people. At that time, Ji Xun judged the case and dealt with the political affairs under a pear tree. He had to be resettled from the top to the bottom of the HouBo and the bottom to the common people. No one was derelict in his duty.

On his deathbed, King Cheng worried that Prince Ji Zhao was not competent for the throne, so he ordered Ji Xuan and Duke Bi to lead the princes to assist Prince Ji Zhao to ascend the throne. After the death of King Cheng of Zhou, the princes led by Ji Xun and Bi Gong led the prince Ji Zhao to visit the temple of the former king, and repeatedly warned him that King Wen and King Wu of Zhou could achieve the king's career, which was hard won. The most important thing was that they were thrifty and had no greed. They ruled the world with sincerity and dedication, and wrote Gu Ming. Therefore, the crown prince Ji Zhao ascended the throne as king Kang of Zhou Dynasty.

Ji Xun assisted King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty and King Kang of Zhou Dynasty to create a "rule of Chengkang" without penalty for more than 40 years, laying a solid foundation for more than 800 years of Zhou Dynasty.

Main achievements

Ji Yu initially assisted King Wu of Zhou Dynasty to perish the Shang Dynasty, and was granted Jidi (now Beijing) for meritorious service to establish the state of Yan (also known as Beiyan). But Ji Ji didn't seal it, and sent his eldest son Ji Ke to manage the state of Yan. He stayed in Ho Jing to assist the Zhou royal family. After the death of King Wu of Zhou, King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to the throne, and Ji Xun served as the Imperial Guard to assist King Cheng of Zhou together with Zhou GongDan. He and Zhou GongDan were divided into Shaanxi and governed, with Ji Ji in the west of Shaanxi and Zhou GongDan in the east of Shaanxi.

Ji Xun's governance was supported by the people. He once judged cases and dealt with political affairs under the pear tree. From Hou Bo to the common people, he had to be resettled, and no one was derelict in his duty. In the book of songs, Zhaonan wrote an article "Gantang", praising it. After the death of King Cheng of Zhou, Ji Xun assisted King Kang of Zhou again, and created the "rule of Cheng Kang" without penalty for more than 40 years, which laid a solid foundation for the continuation of the Zhou Dynasty for more than 800 years.

Historical evaluation

"Huainanzi · Taizu Xun" says: "King Wen raised Taigong Wang and Zhaogong to be the king, Duke Huan served as Guan Zhong and Xipeng to be the overlord. In this way, the virtuous man made great contributions. Fu Chai used taizai to kill him. In Qin Dynasty, Li Si and Zhao Gao died. Therefore, it can be seen from his actions in order to deal with the chaos, and it can be seen from his party's relations with the people

Sima Qian's historical records: ① "the rule of the emperor Zhaogong over the west is a sign of harmony among the people." (2) "the Duke of Zhao" is benevolent! If you think about it, what about the person? Among the rugged and powerful countries, the most vulnerable are the Yans, neicuo, Qi and Jin. However, the blood eater of the state, who was eight or nine hundred years old, died after Ji's independence. Isn't it the fierce evil of Zhao Gong? " (3) "King Wu conquered Zhou, and the world collapsed without cooperation. Since King Cheng was a young man, he was in charge of CAI's suspicions, and Huai Yi rebelled against him. So he called on the Duke to lead the virtue, and set up the royal family, so as to settle the eastern land. "

Dai de: "the one who is clean and upright, who corrects faults and remonstrates evils, is called Bi; the one who is Bi, who brushes the faults of the emperor; the one who stands on the right is called Zhao Gong."

Cao Shao: "I heard that the king of entrepreneurship must be the Minister of the party; the master of keeping his word also depends on Kuang Zuo. Therefore, Wen and Wu took advantage of LV Zhaozhang's command and xuanwang's reliance on mountains to enjoy the cause of rejuvenation. "

Fang Xuanling: "Xiao, Cao Bihan, Liuhe for home, Wang Kuangzhou, Wanfang on the same track, not half ancient achievements, not enough for a couple."

According to Sima Zhen's Shi Ji Suo Yin, it is said that "calling Bo to be prime minister and governing Shaanxi Province separately.". People benefit from their virtue, while sweetness is thought. "

Tang Zhen: "if you are a general, if you are a governor, if you are a summoner."

Anecdotes and allusions

said of a kind official

Ji Xun's governance of the western part of Shaanxi Province is well supported by the people. There was a pear tree under which Ji Xun judged the case and dealt with political affairs. From Hou Bo to the common people, they had to be resettled, and no one was negligent. After Ji Xun died, the people missed his achievements and the pear trees, but they did not dare to cut them down. So the book of songs, Zhaonan, wrote an article called "Gantang" to praise it. This is the origin of the idiom "Gan Tang's last love". Later generations praised the local officials who left with Gan Tang's last love.
