< Historical Records Reading 1 16: Duke Aristocratic Family in Lu Zhou (I)

Zhou Gongdan is Zhou Wuwang's younger brother. When Zhou Wenwang came to power, Dan, as a son of man, was very filial and upright, which was very different from other sons. After Zhou Wuwang succeeded to the throne, Dan, as his assistant, made many plans. When Zhou Wuwang organized the Tianjin Alliance, Duke Zhou also served as an assistant.

BC 1046, Zhou Wuwang attacked Konoha and fought with the Shang army. Duke of Zhou assisted Zhou Wuwang in writing the pastoral oath of mobilization before the war. He defeated Yinzhou and cut off Zhou Wang's head after entering the Shang Palace. At the ceremony of entering the city, Duke Zhou was carrying a lot of lanterns, while Zhao Gong was carrying a small pile of lanterns, guarding Zhou Wuwang from left to right. When offering sacrifices to the country, he reported Zhou's great sin to the people of China and Shang Dynasty, and ordered the release of such prisoners. Feng Zhou's son, the father of Wu Genglu, was ordered and assisted by Cai Shu to continue the sacrifice in the Yin Dynasty. Zhou Wuwang visited the hero's relatives with the same surname, and Feng Dan went to Qufu, Shao Hao's hometown. He is Duke Lu. The Duke of Zhou did not take office in the fief, but continued to stay and help Zhou Wuwang.

The year after Zhou Wuwang Yin Ke, the world was not completely settled, but Zhou Wuwang was ill for a long time. Ministers are worried. Lu Shang and Zhao Gong want to order divination. Duke Zhou said, "You can't grieve the late king at this time." Duke of Zhou took himself hostage and set up three altars. He stood facing the north, jade in hand and laurel in hand, praying to King Tai, Ji Wang and Zhou Wenwang. Shi Ce read a congratulatory message saying that Duke Zhou was willing to sacrifice his life to save Zhou Wuwang's life. After the Duke of Zhou did this, he ordered divination and got auspicious divination.

Duke Zhou was overjoyed and went to see Zhou Wuwang and congratulated him: "Your Majesty is not ill. I have just been ordered by the three kings to let you concentrate on governing the country. God is very considerate to you. " Maybe it's a psychological effect. Hearing this, Zhou Wuwang really recovered.

Later, Zhou Wuwang died, and Zhou Chengwang, who succeeded to the throne, was still in the process of becoming strong. The Duke of Zhou was worried that the world would rebel after hearing the news of Zhou Wuwang's death, so he succeeded to replace Zhou Chengwang in managing state affairs. Guan Shu and other children spread rumors in middle schools: "Duke Zhou seized the throne of Zhou Chengwang." Duke Zhou explained to Lu Shang and Zhao: "The reason why I don't avoid suspicion and take charge of state affairs is that I am afraid that the world will rebel against Zhou, so I can't comfort King Tai, King Qi and King Wen. The three kings worked hard for the world for many years before they achieved the present world. Zhou Wuwang died young and became king at a young age. Someone has to stabilize Zhou Jiye. That's why I did it. "

Duke Zhou helped stabilize the situation and sent his son Bochen to serve in Lu instead of himself. Zhou announced that Boqin said, "I am the second son, brother and uncle of King Wen, and I have a high position in the world. However, I always worry that I will bury any virtuous person in the world. When you arrive in Shandong, don't be arrogant just because you have a country. " "Duke of Zhou vomited food" means that Duke of Zhou vomited food in his mouth many times, first to see the wise men, and then to refer to Corporal Li Xian.

Guan Shu, Cai Shu, Wu Geng and others really joined the Huai Yi rebellion. The Duke of Zhou was ordered by Zhou Chengwang to make an expedition to the East, and wrote "Da Gao". After fierce fighting, Guan Shu and Wu Geng were killed and Cai Shu was exiled. Gather the adherents of the former dynasty to live together, seal Kang Shu to defend the country, and seal Wei Zi to the Song State to manage these people and continue the sacrifices of the Yin Dynasty. Duke Zhou continued to attack the ministries of Huaiyi in the east, and it took him two years to settle down. Since then, the governors have been under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, happiness fell from the sky, and Tang Shu got a strange millet with two stems and one ear, and personally went to Beijing to dedicate it to Zhou Chengwang. Zhou Chengwang ordered Tang Shu to go to the army of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, dedicated rice seedlings to the Duke of Zhou, and inscribed "Feed Grain". After the Duke of Zhou accepted it, he gratefully praised Zhou Chengwang's life and wrote "Golden Harvest". After the stability of the East, the Duke of Zhou returned to Zhou Chengwang and wrote Owl for Zhou Chengwang. Zhou Chengwang usually listens to the Duke of Zhou and never dares to blame him.

On the last day of February 1036 BC, Zhou Chengwang visited the Zhou Wuwang Temple in Haojiang and walked to Di Feng. He sent Taibao to order Duke Zhou to survey the topography of Luodi first. In March of this year, the Duke of Zhou was responsible for building the new capital of the Zhou Dynasty in Luoyi, and divination led to auspicious divination, so Luoyi was the eastern capital.

As an adult, Zhou Chengwang ruled personally, and the Duke of Zhou returned to Zhou Chengwang. When the Duke of Zhou was in power instead of Zhou, he always handled the political affairs among the southern governors. After he came to power in Zhou Chengwang, Mianmian stood on thin ice in the position of detained officials.

At the beginning, when Zhou Chengwang was young and sickly, Duke Zhou cut off his nails and threw them into the river, praying to the river god: "Zhou Wang is young and won't have his own opinions. I, Zhou Gongdan, am the only one who has offended God. May God punish me. " Just as Zhou Chengwang recovered quickly, Duke Zhou hid the wish book in his own house.

After Zhou Chengwang came to power, someone spoke ill of Duke Zhou behind his back, and Duke Zhou fled to Chu. Zhou Chengwang ordered people to raid the Duke of Zhou's mansion. When he saw the book "The Prayer of the Duke of Zhou", he was moved to tears and ordered to recall the Duke of Zhou.

When the Duke of Zhou returned home, he was worried about Zhou Chengwang's extravagance and extravagance, so he wrote "I can't escape" and "Toast".

"There is no escape" said: "Being a parent, you have a long career, and your children and grandchildren are arrogant and forget their roots. You can't be cautious about being children! Therefore, in those days, Yin Zhongzong was strict with self-discipline, respected the destiny, self-denial and courtesy, and governed the people. He never dared to relax, so Zhongzong enjoyed the country for 75 years. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, he suffered among the people for a long time. He never dared to speak when he ascended the throne for three years, but he won the support of his subjects as soon as he spoke. He never dared to indulge in debauchery in politics, which made the Shang Dynasty country stable, and the minister Wang did not complain and enjoyed the country for 55 years. Zujia, the Yin king, felt that he was not the eldest son, so he fled among the people for a long time and was deeply supported by the people. After he came to power, he did good for the people and never regretted being lonely, so Zujia enjoyed the country for 33 years. "

"Toast" said: "From Shang Tang to Diyi, all the kings of the Yin Dynasty obeyed the etiquette system, performed great deeds, obeyed the destiny, and made sacrifices at the right time. When he arrived in Yinzhou, he was extravagant, regardless of God's will and people's wishes. Everyone thinks he should be killed. Zhou Wenwang was often too busy to eat at sunset, so she enjoyed 50 years of country life. "

The capital of Wang Cheng is in Fengyi. At this time, the world has been stable, and only the official orders of the Zhou Dynasty are still very chaotic. Duke Zhou wrote "Zhou Guan" to clarify the difference of official positions; Written as "legislation", benefiting the people, the people are very happy.

When Fengdu was seriously ill and dying, Duke Zhou said, "You must bury me in Chengzhou to show that I will never dare to leave and become a king." After the death of Duke Zhou, Zhou Chengwang was also very modest. He ordered the Duke of Zhou to be buried in Biyi so that he could accompany Zhou Wenwang. It also shows that he, as a junior, never dared to treat the Duke of Zhou as his courtiers.
