As mentioned earlier, according to normal procedures, the position of the Son of Heaven was passed on to Ji Shu, that is, King Cheng of Zhou.
But Ji Ji was a child at the time, and you learned to brush your teeth, wash your face, and dress from him. In terms of these daily behaviors such as eating, he has nothing different from ordinary people, crying when he is wronged, laughing when he is happy, and eating when he is hungry. Other than that, there is no other outstanding performance, like a serious emperor, but he is an orthodox, legal emperor.
The Duke of Zhou became king
Although King Wu of Zhou already had his last words and asked his younger brother Ji Dan to assist his son in managing the imperial program, Ji Dan did not take office with joy at the first time, but repeatedly resigned. Your resignation is your problem, but what about the day-to-day operation of the state organs? What about the daily work of the Central Committee?
The situation was forced, so the whole court unanimously demanded that Ji Dan quickly take up his post, work for the country, and seek happiness for the people of the whole country. The ministers thought to themselves, your uncle and nephew are all family, everything is easy to say, easy to discuss, a kind faction, not very good, what are you resigning? This is the idea of ordinary ministers, and Ji Dan, as a superb politician, he looks at this problem from another angle.
Ji Dan
He soberly knew that whoever assisted King Cheng of Zhou was the actual ruler of the Zhou Dynasty at that time. In this way, this position is very challenging and tempting, and the corresponding one is that it is easy to be targeted by others, and if it is not done well, it will be dangerous. Therefore, before taking office, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must unify the nominal height to the same front, and then nip in the bud the factors of possible phenomena and instability.

At that time, Ji Dan saw that everyone was vigorously demanding that he be put on the post of regent as soon as possible, and he just kept pushing away from it, and repeatedly stressed that such a heavy burden, my ability is limited, I can't pick it up, I can't pick it up, I can't do it, you can't please be smart, your head is shaking like a rattle, you can't stop. He even ran to the office and closed the door, and the hordes of ministers began to knock on the door, from dawn to darkness, and from darkness to dawn, no matter how everyone knocked, he pretended not to hear.
Is this scene familiar? I tell you, when you encounter this kind of thing, if the leader refuses verbally and behaviorally, you will no longer continue to nominate, or even nominate others. Then I tell you, you belong to the kind of people who are very unrighteous and very ignorant, to put it a little ugly, belong to the kind of people who don't know what their last name is, you think about it, oh, if the leader doesn't refuse in his heart, are you in trouble?

This is Chinese culture. Knocked on the door for several days, finally Ji Dan couldn't help it, he opened the office door very unhappily, after everyone awkwardly met outside the door, it was naturally a strong recommendation, a strong refusal, after several rounds of repetition, and finally under the persecution of everyone, Ji Dan reluctantly embarked on the extremely important post of regent.
If you think about it, ah, this kind of thing that is expected by the public and forced to the post, if there are still people in the future who dare to disobey the leadership, it is not equivalent to committing public anger and hitting the stone with a pebble. Hearing that Ji Dan became the most powerful person in the Zhou Dynasty, the three prisoners of the Old Third Ji Xian, the Old Fourth Ji Du and the Old Sixth Ji were uncomfortable in their hearts, thinking that what skills you relied on to assist King Zhou Cheng, you listen, although Ji Dan was forced to the post by the public, there are still people who disagree with you.
Ji Dan assisted the brothers in disobedience
The three supervisors weighed the strength in their hands, and it seemed that they were not weak. At least each hand has a heavy army, slowly, there is a dream in my heart. It is not a bad thing that people have dreams, but it depends on what you think, and usually, people with wrong minds certainly do not have any good dreams. People are like this, once they have a little strength in their hands, it is easy to get carried away, just like the poor are rich, and they will unconsciously be majestic and angry when they walk, like a victorious rooster.
Old Third Ji Xian, Old Fourth Ji Du and Old Six Ji plotted a rebellion
If at this time there was another person with a sinister heart to agitate, it would be easier to completely inflate, and the restless mind of the three prisons was looked at by Wu Geng of the Shang Dynasty. Who is Wu Geng? The standard second generation, his father is the famous Shang Dynasty king who was forced to commit suicide by the Zhou Dynasty. As mentioned earlier, after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the central government of the Zhou Dynasty did not beat all the original former ministers of the Shang Dynasty to death.
Son of Shang Yun Wu Geng
Instead, it adopted a partial Huairou policy, which meant that as long as you were willing to obey the leadership of the central government of the Zhou Dynasty, then you would continue to serve in the leadership position. After King Wu of Zhou succeeded to the throne, he gave Wu Geng full administration of the old capital of the Shang Dynasty.
So how did this sinister Wu Geng fool the three brothers of Old Sanji Xian, Old Fourth Jidu and Old Six Ji? The next story is described in detail in the next article, like friends please express their own views...
