What does it mean to be a diligent king in Beijing?

A "diligent king" is when the emperor is in trouble, courtiers and outsiders get up to save him.

The word "diligent king" first appeared in the literature of Chunqiu Zuozhuan. In the 25th year of Lu Xigong (653 BC), there was civil strife in the Zhou royal family. King Xiang of Zhou fled to the State of Zheng and sent envoys to the State of Qin and the State of Jin for help. Hu Yan said to Zhong Er, the Duke of Jin, "There is nothing better than a diligent king asking for a vassal. The princes believe it and are righteous. Following the literary industry, and the letter was announced by the princes, this is also possible. " So the marquis of Jin led troops to escort King Xiang of Zhou back to Beijing. Zhong Er, Duke of Jin Dynasty, gradually established hegemony among princes and became one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Youwang favored him. Isn't it funny? Just to make it smile, Zhou Youwang lit a bonfire for no reason. Governors from all walks of life thought that foreign enemies had invaded and rushed to rescue them. "The princes learned that there was nothing to blame and praised it as a smile." Zhou Youwang smiled happily at the compliment. Later, he lit a bonfire many times to please compliments, and fewer and fewer princes came to see him every time. In the 11th year of AD (77 1), Shen Hou was dissatisfied with the decision to abolish his daughter Shen and recommended him to attack with Gou Jian and Gou Rong. In desperation, Zhou Youwang raised a bonfire to recruit soldiers. As a result, no leader led troops to find him along the way, and Zhou Youwang was killed.

In April of the sixth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (189), Emperor Han Ling collapsed, and Bian acceded to the throne, while He Taihou was in the DPRK. General He Jin, Li Si, a captain of Yuan Shao, often waited on Zhang Rang and other eunuchs in their plot to kill them, but He Taihou forbade them. Therefore, blades summoned Zhou Mu Dong Zhuo and led the troops into Beijing to intimidate the Queen Mother. Dong Zhuo went to Beijing under the banner of "chasing the wicked on your side", but after arriving in Beijing, he did all kinds of evil and robbed soldiers. In September, Dong Zhuo deposed Emperor Liu Bian as the king of Hongnong, made nine-year-old Chen Liuwang and Liu Xie emperors, and killed He Taihou. 1 1 month, from Ren Xiangguo.

But because of fear of Dong Zhuo, allied forces from all directions are watching and hesitating whether to advance. "There will be a cocktail party in Kaya Hioki, but there will be no progress." When the grain and grass were exhausted, the people dispersed in succession and returned in vain. The rebels rallied in the name of crusade against Dong Zhuo, but failed to rescue the royal family, but then they rallied their troops and attacked each other, becoming warlords on one side of the separatist regime.

In November of the 14th year of Tang Tianbao (755), An Lushan, who was also the envoy of Fan Yang, Pinglu and Hedong, took advantage of the political corruption and internal emptiness of the imperial court to rebel in Fan Yang, and the Anshi Rebellion broke out. An Shi Rebellion went south and swept the whole country. In June of the 15th year of Tianbao (756), the capital was captured. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Shu. In July, Crown Prince Hengli ascended the throne in Lingwu, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed Yuan to virtue. Call all the soldiers in the world to Qin Wang to recover the capital. In August, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi "rode fifty thousand to Hebei with one voice".

Uighur also sent Prince Hu Ye to lead 4,000 cavalry into the aid. In September of the second year of Zhide (757), Marshal Li Chu and Guo Ziyi led more than 150,000 people to recover the capital.

In the second year of Tang Ganfu (875), Huang Chao rose in unjust imprisonment and the Huang Chao Uprising broke out. Huang Chao then led troops to half of China, and in December of the first year of Guangming (880), the capital was captured, and the name of "Daqi" was built, and Tang Xizong fled hastily. In the first month of the first year of Zhonghe (88 1), Tang Xizong sent a letter in Xingyuan House, ordering Taiyuan, our time, Zheng Congchen, Beiying, Zhuge Shuang, Beiying, Zhumei, Zhou Xia and Li Sigong. , go to the capital for thieves. In February, Shang Shu left his servant to shoot and take charge of Pingzhang, and Zheng Yi, the commander-in-chief of the camps in the west of Beijing, sent word to the world and called on all the military and horses in the country to defect.

At that time, Tang Xizong was driving outside and the news was blocked. After Zheng Yi spread all over the world, various localities organized military forces to support their troops and respect themselves. Chen Jingsi, the leader of the Northern Camp in Daizhou, led three tribes, namely Shatuo, Sage and Anqing, and spit out 30,000 people to help Guanzhong. Li Keyong, leader of Shatuo clan, also led troops to provide disaster relief. In June, Wang Duo, the deputy commander-in-chief, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Beijing Fourth Road Battalion, promising to make it cheap. In the first month of the second year of Zhonghe (882), "The teacher of the diligent king in the world, the cloud will be reincarnated."
