Interpretation of ancient sayings, the great revival of the first and second enlightenment, the re-translation of the pheasant, the third son of the third emperor, the imperial driver personally march

Interpretation of ancient sayings, the great revival of the first and second enlightenment, the re-translation of the pheasant, the third son of the third emperor, the imperial driver personally marched, but was defeated and moved over a thousand acres, and the carriage was greatly damaged, so I thought of a plan to do it again.

During the reigns of Cheng and Kang, the Zhou Dynasty suddenly revived. There are poems to prove it: The Li Prime Minister of the Yi Dynasty was still in power... In the Kang Dynasty, enlightenment was greatly promoted, and the pheasant was re-translated. In the thirty-ninth year, Jiang Rong disobeyed, and King Xuan led the expedition in person. He was defeated in a thousand acres, and his chariots were greatly damaged. He thought of a plan to do it again, but he was afraid of the number of troops... "First, you are not allowed to trample the crops; second, you are not allowed to burn the trees; Three are not allowed to intrude on civilian residences

The first half of the first chapter of the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasties begins with King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. Because the monarch's own conditions are not as capable as those of previous monarchs, and because Jiang Rong disobeyed orders and led the army. After the attack and defeat, King Xuan planned to make a comeback, and even went to Taiyuan himself to investigate how many soldiers and food could be recruited. The ministers tried to persuade him to stop him, but it was useless.

On his way back to the capital, King Xuan found himself in the market. The children gathered in groups to sing songs about the country's subjugation in Zhouhui. Naturally, King Xuan felt uncomfortable listening to them, so he had to investigate carefully. The kid who was caught preached this song to a child in red who had disappeared, so King Xuan They could only order not to sing this kind of song again.

The next morning, King Xuan and his ministers studied the matter. Both Dazong Bo Zhaohu and Dazai Zhongshanfu believed that they were responsible for the crusade against Jiang Rong. The war was related; Grand Historian Boyang's father believed that the child in red was ordered by God to turn into a child and spread songs to warn the king.

King Xuan asked: What would happen if he gave up the war against Jiang Rong. Is there no way to avoid the disaster of country subjugation? Boyang's father's answer is: Judging from the results of the celestial phenomena, this disaster has already occurred and there are omens. The source of the disaster seems to be within the palace rather than the war, because the omens indicate that there will be a disaster in the future. Because women cause chaos in the country; and the children's song says "the moon is about to rise, the sun is about to disappear", the sun is a symbol of the monarch, the moon belongs to the feminine, the sun disappears, the moon rises, the feminine advances and the masculine declines, this represents women's intervention in the country The important matter is very clear.

King Xuan also said that Queen Jiang was a very virtuous person, and all the concubines were chosen by her. Where did the woman's disaster come from? Boyang's father replied: "It is about to rise." ”, “About to disappear” does not refer to the current problem in the first place, not to mention the word “almost” is an “indeterminate” word. If the king now cultivates virtue and prays to God, he can change the danger into good fortune. , there is no need to burn and discard the weapons.

After hearing this, King Xuan half believed and half doubted, and ended the morning session in a gloomy manner.

Queen Jiang welcomed King Xuan back. After the two sat down, King Xuan told Queen Jiang in detail what the ministers said. After hearing this, Queen Jiang said that there was a strange thing in the palace: when the previous king was the king, there was an old palace maid who was now over fifty years old. After being pregnant for more than 40 years, King Xuan gave birth to a baby girl last night. He was very surprised and asked: "Where is this baby girl?" Queen Jiang said that she thought the baby girl was unlucky and had someone wrap it in a straw mat and throw it away. Twenty miles away in the Qingshui River.

King Xuan immediately called for the old maid and asked her why she was pregnant. The old maid knelt down and replied: I heard that in the last years of King Jie of Xia, there was a fairy in Baocheng who changed into two. A dragon descended to the palace court, saliva flowed from its mouth, and suddenly spoke in human language and told King Jie, "We are the two gods of Baocheng." King Jie was afraid and wanted to kill the two dragons, so he asked Taishi to divine the matter. It turned out to be unlucky; I wanted to drive away the two dragons, but the second divination was still unlucky. Taishi replied: It must be auspicious for a god to descend. Why doesn't the king respectfully collect its saliva? Saliva is the essence of the dragon. If you collect it, you will definitely gain blessings. King Jie asked Tai Shi to perform divination for the third time and got a very auspicious sign. So cloth and money were placed in front of the dragon to worship, and a gold plate was used to collect the dragon's saliva, which was placed in a red cabinet and stored in the warehouse inside. From that time on, it was never opened until the last years of the previous monarch. The cabinet gave off a faint light, and the official in charge of the warehouse told the monarch. The previous monarch asked: What is in the cabinet? The official in charge of the storehouse took the register and showed it to the previous king. The reason for hiding the saliva was written on it. The previous king asked someone to open the cupboard and take out the plate. When he took it, he accidentally dropped it on the ground. The collected saliva flowed all over the court. Suddenly, it turned into a little dragon and circled in the court. The servant chased it away and it ran away. When he entered the palace, he suddenly disappeared. I was only twelve years old at the time. I accidentally stepped on the traces left by the little dragon and seemed to feel something. From then on, my belly grew bigger, as if I was pregnant.

The previous king thought it was weird for me to be pregnant without a husband, and locked me in a dark room for forty years now. Last night I had a stomachache and gave birth to a baby girl. The waiter guarding the harem did not dare to hide the matter, so he had to tell the queen. The queen said that such strange things could not be kept and asked someone to take them away and throw them in a ditch or river. The mistake I made really deserves death!

King Xuan said: This happened in the past and has nothing to do with you, so he asked the old palace maid to go down, and then asked someone to go to the Qingshui River to see the baby girl. After a while, the waiter came back and said: It has floated away. King Xuan did not doubt the news.

In the morning of the next day, King Xuan came to Taishi Boyang's father and told him about the dragon's saliva, and then said: This baby girl has died in Shuigou Creek. Have the auspicious omen disappeared?

After Boyang’s father finished the divination and presented the results, King Xuan couldn’t understand, so Boyang’s father said: If calculated using the twelve zodiac animals represented by the twelve earthly branches, the sheep represents the end of the earthly branches, and the horse represents Earthly Branch Noon, crying and laughing means being sad and happy. This appearance should appear between the mid-year and the last year. According to my opinion, although this omen left the palace, it was not removed. King Xuan was very unhappy after hearing this, and ordered to find the baby girl with heavy rewards and severe punishments, and asked Du Bo, the doctor, to be responsible for this matter. In addition, because the result of divination was "a bow made of mulberry wood and a quiver made of grass," the doctor Zuo Ru was ordered to inspect and prohibit the manufacture and sale of these two things. Anyone who violated the rules would be punished with death. The people in the city obeyed the order, but the residents in the countryside did not know it. On the second day of the inspection, there was a woman holding several quivers made of grass, and a man carrying a dozen bows made of mulberry wood following her. The two couples lived far away in the countryside and went to the city for the noon market to do business. Before entering the city gate, the woman was caught. The man saw that something was wrong, threw the mulberry wood bow on the ground, and ran away quickly. The doctor Zuo Ru thought to himself: The two things he got are consistent with each other. What's more, Taishi said that the disaster was caused by women. Now that the women have been caught, they can also report to the king. So he concealed the fact that a man had escaped, and only told the king that this woman violated the prohibition of manufacturing and selling, and according to the law, it was best to be punished by death. King Xuan ordered the woman to be beheaded, and the bows made of mulberry wood and quivers made of grass to be burned and discarded in the street as a warning to those who made and sold these two things.
