During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the backwardness of the productive forces, the Yan state was in a weak position among the princely states. Among the monarchs of the past, King Yan Zhao had forged a period of glory, enabled the virtuous ministers, developed the people's livelihood, and made The general Le Yi attack more than seventy cities in the State of Qi, almost destroying Tian Qi.
However, there is another monarch who is famous, that is, the Yan King, who practiced the Zen system that was passed down in ancient times.
At that time, the King of Yan ascended the throne and appointed zizhi as the minister. There are not many records in the history books of Zizhi, only that he is valuable and decisive. It shows that his people have high authority in the Yan country and dominate a major national event.
As we all know, if people are accustomed to the taste of power, they will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts. The power of the son fell to the opposition, and there were many friends under his hands, so he developed a covetous heart for the position of king of Yan.
He asked the chancellor Lu Maoshou to advise the Yan king and talk about Yao's virtuous ways. At that time, Yao gave way to Xu You, but Xu You did not accept it, and ran to Yangji Mountain to hide. In this way, Yao has the good name of Zen, but has lost nothing.
So today, the King of Yan gave up the throne to Zizhi, and Zizhi certainly couldn't accept it, so didn't your old man also have the virtue of wisdom!
King Yan felt that it was very reasonable when he heard it, so he also practiced it, so that the status of the son was more respected and the power was even greater.
Later, some people advised the King of Yan that although he had entrusted the country to the governance of the son, the ministers in the court were all the people of the prince, and this was actually the prince ruling!
When King Yan heard this, without saying a word, he put away the seal letters from middle-level officials and above and handed them to zizhi. Therefore, Zizhi actually became the king of the Yan Kingdom, and the southern side was called a lonely widow.
This step-by-step operation is like boiling a frog in warm water, gradually taking the throne into your hands. So what kind of person is this Yan Wang, due to the lack of historical records, it is not easy to make inferences.
Judging from his performance, the label of fainting is indispensable, and the head is indeed not very bright by entrusting the position of the sovereign of the country to others.
However, in the records of the history books, it is not written that he was adulterous and unreasonable, resulting in the people's unhappiness. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a period of great changes, with a hundred schools of thought contending for the voice, all kinds of ideas flourishing, and countless capable people and heroes, in the tide of history, transcended their own class limitations, looked at the world coldly, and proposed ways to save the world and help the people.
These sons and hundreds of families actually have a little idealism in their words. They traveled everywhere, practicing what they preached, and those who were able to influence the general trend of the world for a while, and those who could not retreated to write books, collected disciples, and established a study. And it was inevitable that those kings would be influenced in their thinking.
Yan Wangwu threw away his incompetence, and may also be infected and become an idealist. As soon as his head fainted, he wanted to become the prince of the ancient sages. Or it is that he who understands the great righteousness, lets the son be the master, and makes the Yan kingdom a great one, although he dies, he has no regrets.
In the Warring States period, there were many such people, and so did the heroic King Wuling of Zhao. Hufu archery achieved his good name, and also greatly increased the strength of zhao guoguo. However, at the age of his youth and vigor, he chose to abdicate the throne and handed over the monarchy to his son Zhao He, who was only responsible for galloping on the battlefield, expanding the territory, and calling him the main father.
It is only the final power struggle that makes people see that the imperial power has no father and son, and the idea of King Zhao Wuling has failed, and in the struggle between father and son, he was starved alive for three months and became a famous starving ghost.
Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all kinds of new things appeared frequently, and it was understandable that the Yan King was engaged in a Zen concession.
It's just that the ending is a little less optimistic, zizhi ruled for three years, the Yan country was in chaos, and the people were afraid. From this point, it can be seen that the means of the son are just like that, but the power and conspiracy are strong, and they are not so superb in governing the country. In this situation, the prince's side was naturally happy, and the princes were also very happy, especially the State of Qi and the State of Zhao, which were next to the State of Yan.
Prince Ping seized the opportunity to unite with generals to overthrow Zizhi. The king of Qi then fanned the flames behind his back, saying: The widow will hear the righteousness of the prince, and will abolish the private and establish a public, and the righteousness of the king and the subject, and the position of the father and son. The kingdom of the widow is small, not enough to be in order. Although, only the prince ordered it.
In this sentence, the righteousness of the emperor and the position of the father and son of the Ming dynasty show the attitude of the princes. If the mouth of zen concession is opened, the lords of the countries do not know which day they will be given up by Zen.
Fortunately, Zizhi's incompetence made a mess of Yandi, and King Qi took advantage of the chaos in Yan's country to send troops all the way to push sideways, killing Yan Wang and Zizhi, and gained many benefits.
It is recorded in the "Zhao Shijia" that for ten years, Qi broke the swallow. Yan Xiangzi is the king, and the king is the subject.
This account is also very interesting, the logic of the thinking is not to take advantage of the fire, but to be famous, because the king is a subject.
In the eyes of the princes at that time, it was estimated that the Zen concession of the Yan King was regarded as a great rebellion, and it was the proper meaning to rectify the chaos.
And the Yan King was incompetent, and the son was also vain, and a small attempt by the two kings and subjects in the Warring States era was quickly extinguished and became a farce, leaving a small wave in the long river of history.
Two years after the yan civil unrest, the Yan people jointly established Prince Ping as the King of Yan Zhao. However, there are many contradictions in the records in the book, this Yan Zhaowang will be a prince for a while, and a prince for a while. Which one it is, can only be doubted.
