Tell the truest history in the simplest words.
In the 11th century BC, the Zhou Dynasty shang established. King Wu of Zhou divided the world, and his younger brother summoned the duke to seal the land of Yan, which was the state of Yan. In the "History Books", the State of Yan is a mysterious existence, it is born noble and pure blood, but almost no one knows it for 700 years, like a paradise, until the 38th monarch, the State of Yan suddenly had a major event that shocked the world.
Yan Duo Zen Jean
The 38th monarch is the famous Yan King Ji In history. As a descendant of Zhao Gong, the founder of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Gong was also a man of high moral character, he was sympathetic to the people, opposed conquest, and upright for the king, and at the same time, he was also an out-and-out "idealist".
At that time, the Spring and Autumn Lile collapsed, and the Warring States Tigers and Wolves were full of smoke. As much as half of the world's wealth was in the State of Qi, and Ji Huan was worried all day that the Qi king Tian Would be hegemonic and threaten the State of Yan. The Yan state Xiang Bangzi said, "(The King of Qi) will not be hegemonic." Yan Yu was puzzled, so he asked why, and Zizhi said, "I don't believe in his subjects." "Zizhi's purpose is very simple, in order to make Yan Duo trust him, respect him, and hand over the power to him. And Yan Duo's personality is destined to be deceived, so "and listen to it." ”
War map
In the middle of the Warring States period, after the countries completed the reform of the law one after another, the Yan state also began to reform. All countries, without exception, strengthened their royal power, while Yan Duo's ideas were completely different. As mentioned above, Yan Duo was an out-and-out "idealist", and in the Warring States, where the smoke of war was rising, he still followed the Spring and Autumn Road, and even emulated Yao Shun and zen to give up the throne.
Before Yan Duo, Yao Shun Zen Rang was a legend; in the more than 2,000 years after Yan Duo, no king voluntarily relinquished the throne. The purpose of Yan's Zen concession is to make the Yan kingdom strong, but Zen makes this kind of advanced thinking and behavior unworkable in the Warring States, and in only three years, the Yan kingdom is in chaos, and the people are afraid.
revenge
The biggest victim of Yan Duo Chan Rang was Prince Ji Ping. Taking advantage of the chaos in the country, Ji Ping united with the general Shi Yu and some nobles of the Yan state to oppose Zizhi. When King Qi Tang heard about it, he secretly contacted Prince Ping and said that he would definitely support Prince Ping. In this struggle, the victor was naturally the State of Qi, "the clams competed for fishing and profit", the King of Qi Tang led a large army to reap the benefits, controlled and ruled the people of the Yan State for 2 years!
For the first time in 700 years, the Yan kingdom suffered such a great disaster. Tracing back to the roots, the starting point of the great difficulty is Yan Duo's "throne Zen Concession." "Yan's thought is a thousand years ahead, and the weak republican flower withers before it has time to bloom. So, how did Yan Duo produce such advanced thinking in the chaotic world?
The Son's beheading
First, because he is an "idealist." He once said to Prince Ping: "The world of the Yan kingdom is the world of all Yan people. "Listen to this, is it familiar?" At that time, the change of law was for the purpose of centralizing power and strengthening power, but what about this master? The sword is biased, the idea is ahead, and it eventually becomes a bubble.
In the "Han Feizi Doubts", it is said: "Yan Junzi, shao gong also." Thousands of miles in the place, holding hundreds of thousands of halberds, uneasy about the joy of children, not listening to the sound of bells and stones, not polluting the pond and the terrace, not waving the field hunting outside, and personally manipulating to repair the acres. The suffering body of the son is so worried about the people, although the so-called holy king of the ancients is not less diligent and worried about the world. However, the son died and the country died, and the son was taken away, and the world laughed at it, so why is this? I don't know why Ren Chen is also" The Huainan Zi Human Training also says: "The swallow dies by walking in benevolence."
Yan Duo Zen let the latter cultivate the land
It can be seen from this that in the special period, only "the barrel of the gun out of power" is the only way. Yan Wangxiao was a monarch who practiced frugality, opposed luxury, cherished the people's strength, advocated farming and labor, and "suffered to worry about the people", and his degree of "diligence and worry about the world" even exceeded that of the ancient "Holy King Mingjun", but he was ridiculed by the people of the world.
Second, also because he is an "idealist", or he is "rigid", even "hypocritical". In addition to the above-mentioned behavior and thoughts, Yan Huan has always respected Yao Shun's great virtue. Doctor Lu Maoshou and Xiang Bangzizhi seized this kind of psychology and succeeded in "usurping the throne".
Lu Mao Shou and Zi Zhi Jin Yan Yan
Doctor Lu Maoshou once said to the King of Yan: "It is better to let the country let the xiangzizhi." Man is called a sage, and he who makes the world go by the cause, does not accept it, and has the name of letting the world go. Coupled with the fact that the reason why King Yiqi could not dominate was due to the king's distrust of his subordinates, Yan Duo thought that he was a "saint in the world" and finally decided to take the path of Zen concession in myths and legends.
It is precisely because of this decision that the Yan Kingdom suffered its first major disaster since the founding of the People's Republic of China! It can be seen from this that the situation is very important, the trend of history is more important, including the special period of "power under the barrel of a gun" must be more effective than "benevolent government", the idea is too avant-garde, so divorced from reality, it is even more impossible.
