The Book of Jin, a classic of traditional Chinese studies, lecture 18: Emperor Ji Jianwen Emperor Sima Yu

Emperor Jianwen was also the younger son of Emperor Yuan. Young and qiling, he was loved by Emperor Yuan. Guo Pu saw it and said to the people: "Whoever rejuvenates and promotes the Jin Dynasty, he will also be this person." "And long, pure and widowed, especially good at xuan. In the first year of Yongchang, Emperor Yuan issued an edict: "King Wu of the First Gong and King Gong of the First Examination are in Lang. Succession to the world, the heirs of the country have not been established, steaming the Lord, and mourning the heart. Zi Yu Renming has the wisdom to worship the Zongmiao Temple to comfort the grace of the extreme. His fengyu was the evil king of Lang, and the food club and Xuancheng were as old as before. "Xian he was born in the first year of the first year, lady Zheng. The emperor was seven years old, and he wept blood, and he was forced to obey. Emperor Cheng mourned and promised, so he moved to the king of the Huihui and worshiped the scattered riding attendants. In the ninth year, he moved to the right general and added a waiter. Xian Kang spent six years as a general in the Fu Army and leading the secretary and supervisor. In the summer of the first year of the Jianyuan Dynasty, in May, Emperor Kang commanded: "Too often to serve the heavens and the earth, and also to control the Zong Temple, it is Ren Ye, which can be described as heavy." It is selected and built in ancient and modern times, and it is not bad to look forward to it, and it is also elegant. Uncle Huijian Wang is still clean and vain, the spirit is tireless, the tour is on the list, and the irony is rampant. Its collar is too often the same as before. "In the first year of Yonghe, Empress Chongde came to the throne and took the throne of the Fujun Grand General and recorded the six affairs of Shangshu. In the second year, He Chong died on horseback, and Empress Chongde commanded emperor Tonji. For eight years, he took the throne and did not worship. Emperor Mu was crowned, and the head of the emperor was returned to the government, and it was not allowed. The deposed emperor took the throne, and the king of Lang evil was extinct, and the prince Changming was made the king of Huiji. Emperor Gu Rang, so although he sealed the evil and did not go to the number of huiji. In the first year of Taihe, he took the throne and recorded Shang Shushi, entered the dynasty without tendency, praised and worshiped without a name, and went to the temple with his sword, and gave Yu Bao the encouragement of sixty people to preach the ban sword, and then stubbornly gave way. And the abolition of the emperor, the empress dowager edicted: "Xiang Xiang, Lu Shangshu, Hui Ji Wang Body from Emperor Zhongzong, Mingde Shao Ling, Ying Xiu XuanXuan, Shen Qi outside." With the help of The Wise, Aheng III. Taoization is propagated, and people are looking forward to it for a long time. It is advisable to rule the emperor from the heart of heaven and man. The Lord is still in the canon, and it is implemented in time. "So Sima Huanwen led hundreds of officials into the front hall of The Taiji, and with the help of the public opinion, he welcomed the emperor in the huiji mansion, changed his clothes in the court hall, wore a flat scarf and a single robe, and worshiped the seal in the east.

The Book of Jin, a classic of traditional Chinese studies, lecture 18: Emperor Ji Jianwen Emperor Sima Yu

Emperor Jianwen's name was Yu (昱), the character Daowan, and he was the younger son of Emperor Yuan. He was very intelligent at an early age and was favored by Emperor Yuan. Guo Pu saw him and said to the people, "It must be this person who revitalizes the Jin Room." "When Sima Yu grew up, he was vain and widowed, and he was especially good at talking about Xuan. In the first year of Yongchang, Emperor Yuan issued an edict saying: "King Wu of Xiangong and King Gong of Xiankao ruled over Lang Evil. Fathers and sons have been passed down from generation to generation, and those who are now heirs have not yet made sacrifices or presided over, and they are often sad about this. His son Sima Yuren was wise and resourceful, and could respectfully serve his ancestors to comfort them with endless kindness. Sima Yu was made the Evil King of Lang, and The Food Yi was still Huiji and Xuancheng. In the first year of Xianhe, Sima Yu's biological mother, Lady Zheng, died. Emperor Jianwen was only seven years old at the time, and his weeping mother wept blood and resolutely requested to wear a heavy mourning filial piety. Emperor Cheng took pity on him and granted his request, so he changed his title to The Prince of Huiji and helped to ride a regular attendant. In the ninth year, he was promoted to the rank of Right General and was given the title of Attendant. In the sixth year of Xian Kang, he was promoted to general of the Fu Army and concurrently served as a secretary and supervisor. In the summer of the first year of the Jianyuan Dynasty, in May, Emperor Kang issued an edict saying: "Too often feel that it is a great duty to worship heaven and earth and also manage the Zongmiao Temple. Therefore, throughout the ages, the selection of roles has been to choose prestigious and erudite Confucians. The Huiji King advocated purity and humility, worked tirelessly to seek the Tao, calmly and unhurriedly held high-ranking official positions, and satirized the government and the opposition, so that the Huiji King was also in charge of the government, and the original official position remained unchanged. In the first year of Yonghe, Empress Chongde came to the throne, and Sima Yujin was promoted to the rank of Grand General of the Fu Army and recorded the six affairs of Shangshu. In the following year, He Chong died, and Empress Dowager Chongde ordered Emperor Jianwen to give Emperor Jianwen the exclusive right to handle state affairs. Eight years later, Sima Yu resolutely resigned. When Emperor Mu began to perform the crown ceremony, Emperor Jianwen demanded the return of the state administration, but Emperor Mu did not agree. After the deposed emperor ascended the throne, because the King of Lang had no heir, he renamed Emperor Jianwen as the King of Lang Evil and his son Sima Ming as the Prince of Huiji. Emperor Jianwen vigorously pushed back, so although he was crowned the Evil King of Lang, he did not remove the title of King of Huiji. In the first year of Taihe, he entered the rank of Chancellor and Recorded Shang Shushi, and when entering the dynasty, he did not need to step forward, did not have to be named when visiting the shrine, could wear a sword and shoes to the temple, and provided him with sixty Yu Bao to advocate the Ban Sword Honor Guard, and Emperor JianWen vigorously pushed it. After the deposed emperor was deposed, the empress dowager issued an edict saying: "After Emperor Zhongzong, The Emperor Xiang, Lu Shangshu, and Huiji Wang, the virtuous nature is beautiful, the noble houmei advocates purity, and the divine magic is manifested outside the handling of things." In order to supplement the status of a heavy subject, he counseled three generations of emperors to preside over the state affairs. Morality is spreading, the hopes of the people are home, and the days have been long. Obedience should be made to the will of Providence and the will of the people to the throne. The person in charge clearly followed the rules of the time and implemented them on time" So Sima Huanwen led hundreds of officials into the Taiji Front Hall, prepared the emperor's car, went to the official residence of King Huiji to greet Emperor Jianwen, changed his clothes in the court, wore flat towels and single clothes, and bowed to the east to receive the seal.  

The Book of Jin, a classic of traditional Chinese studies, lecture 18: Emperor Ji Jianwen Emperor Sima Yu

In the winter of the first year of Xian'an, he was united, that is, the emperor's throne. Huan Wen went out of the middle hall and ordered the soldiers to guard. Yi Di (乙卯), Wen Shu (文奏) abolished Dazai, Wuling Wang Xi (武陵王晞) and Zi Zong (子總). In the Wei Palace led by the Marshal of Zhaowei County, Mao An, it was changed to Xian'an. Gengji, the envoy and lieutenant Zhou Yi, told the Taimiao Temple. In Xinhai, Huan Wen sent his brother to secretly force the new Cai King Huang Yi Xitang to rebel with Dazai and Wuling Wang Xi. The emperor wept at the same time, and Wen Du paid the court lieutenant. Ugly, killing the second son of Donghai and his mother. In the beginning, the emperor was humble and simple, and li zai III was revered by Wen Su. At the beginning of the throne, Wen Nai wrote a statement to himself, the emperor introduced, and wept bitterly about it, and Wen was afraid and could not speak. As for that, there was a si who accepted his will and played the Wuling Wang Xi, but the emperor did not allow it. Wen stubbornly repeatedly, and the emperor issued an edict: "If jin zuo is the primate, the public will follow the previous edict." If its great luck goes, please avoid the xian road. "Warm to the eye, sweat and discoloration, no longer dare to speak." Yi Di (乙卯), deposed and his third son, migrated to Xin'an. Bing Chen, put the new Kui Wang Chao in Hengyang. At noon, the edict said: "The royal family has many deaths, Mu Lai's early life, the emperor's dreams have moved, and the artifact has no owner." The King of the East Sea, with his mother and brother close to his genus, has been in the throne for many years, is dim and chaotic, is in a state of human ruin, and is about to suffer great calamities, then the spirit of my ancestors is entrusted with it. The empress dowager was deeply afraid of the emperor and set a big plan. Sima Da, in accordance with the Heavenly People, cooperated with the Divine Strategy, and after pro-Shuai Qun, he undertook the Ming Order. The clouds and mist have been removed, and the emperor has cleared up, but Gu Shuo has bowed down and looked up to Hongxu. Although Yi Yin's Ning Yin Dynasty, Bo Lu's An Han Room, there is no shangye. He is a widow, a debauchery, a coward, a fearful man, a burden, trembling, and ignorant. Si and Zhaoshu began, his amnesty for the world, the five days of the Great Curse, the second class of the Zengwen Martial Rank, the filial piety and loyalty of the widowhood and the lonely rice man Wu Huo. "He has not given the Wen army thirty thousand men, one cloth and one rice." Gengshen, increase Sima Huanwen as a minister, not subject. Xin You, Wen Xuan from Bai Shi, because of the town gu. With the champion general Mao Wusheng, he oversaw the military forces of Jingzhou Zhizhong and Yangzhou Zhiyicheng. In December, the edict decreed that Kyoto had the reserves of the year, and the right to stop the fortune of one year. Gengyin, the deposed King of the East China Sea, was the Duke of Haixi, and there were 4,000 households. Xin Jiao, the first recommendation of the wine in the Taimiao Temple. In the spring of the second year, the king of Baekje and Lim-eui each sent envoys to pay tribute. In February, Murong Huan was killed in Liaodong. In March Ding You, the edict said: "Aheng III, can not help the yong of the other time, and even Haixi lost his morality, and fell to the emperor." Lai Zuzu's spiritual virtue, empress dowager's body should be expected, Qifu Zhongxian, hundreds of officials and strength, with the ability to swing qi to Hao Cang, Yao Chenhui in the universe. So he leaned over the prince and thought of the sages to bow his throat. Can the end of the fudun principal and the end, or the extinction of Hua Jing, so that the turbidity of the stream, can it be special, the officials have no government, the soldiers have no slander, and there is no punishment, then the virtue is given? And the strong Kou has not been killed, the labor has not stopped, and the non-military and state-honored play, the use of its ornaments and expenses are all saved. The sage of the poor valley, the man of the slippery mud, although he resists Zhi Xuanxiao, the subliminal shadow, the noble way of greed, the beauty of long and praise, the self-sufficient landscape, the perched chi hill, the purity of the husband, and the great evil of forgetting and helping? The ancients did not borrow from the Sages, so they imagined it today. Hundreds of officials inside and outside, each diligently, so that the good is not reached, the evil is all heard, so that the poet has the thorn of the element, and I have the desire of humility. "I inherit the ancestor Hongji, but I am ignorant of the political way, afraid of not being able to allow the heavenly work, cloning the previous karma, and worrying about the sunset, if I waded into the spring ice." Lai Zaifu Zhongde, Daoji Yiwang, Qunhou Dedication, Concord Break gold, inside and outside the rules of Kuang Wing, Wen Wu zhi bandit festival, Ji Yin Si Dao, final Ke Hongji. Every time the thoughts are not done, the public and private are tired, the town has the business of frontiers, the conquest of Huai Dongshan, or the white head of the rong, the loyalty is not described, or the service is long, the burden of the stone is stored, how not to be ignorant of the morning, the night is forgotten. Although he has not been able to touch it, he wants to reach his heart. He could send the ambassador to Sima Da, and ask Fang Bo, who was arrested at the border and proclaimed the Great Feast, asking for his peace. And he raised funds to give, and ordered Zhou Pu. "After the accident, Baidu was not charged, the group of officials often paid, and they were all widowed, and the righteousness of the cover was also at any time." However, the retreat of food is in the dynasty, and Lu does not cultivate instead of farming, which is not a system of economic communication. Nowadays, the reserves are gradually abundant, and the amount of funds can be raised. "See Yu Zhang." In the summer of April, he migrated to Xichaili, Wu County. After the demeaning of The Lady of the Queen. In June, he sent yugu, the king of Baekje, to be the general of Zhendong and led Lelang Taishou. Peng Zi, the former general of the defending army Gengxi, raised an army to rebel, from Hailing into Jingkou, Jinling Taishou Bian ran to Qu'a. In the autumn of July, Huan Wen sent Shi Zhou Shaosun of the East China Sea to beg for Xi, captured him, and beheaded him in Jiankang City. He did not, and Lihui Ji Wang Changming was made crown prince, and Crown Prince Daozi was the King of Lang Evil, and he understood the history of Ji Nei. On that day, the emperor collapsed in the East Hall, when he was fifty-three years old. Buried Gao PingLing, temple number Taizong. The edict is supplemented by Huan Wen, according to the story of Zhuge Liang and Wang Dao.

The Book of Jin, a classic of traditional Chinese studies, lecture 18: Emperor Ji Jianwen Emperor Sima Yu

【Translation】 In the winter of the first year of Xian'an, In November, Sima Yu was the emperor. Huan Wen left the palace to stay in the Middle Hall and ordered the army to garrison, and Emperor Wen requested that Emperor Dazai be deposed, Sima Xi the Prince of Wuling, and his son Sima Zong. The emperor ordered the commander of Wei Commandery Taishou Mao An to lead his army to guard the palace and change the name to Xian'an. On Xinhai Day, Huan Wen sent his younger brother Huan Bi to force Sima Huang, the new King of Cai, to go to Xitang and force him to rebel against Dazai and Sima Xi, the king of Wuling. The emperor shed tears at Sima Huang, and Huan Wen arrested Sima Huang and the others and handed them over to the court lieutenants. On the day of the ugly, he killed two sons of the King of the East Sea and their mother. At the beginning, the emperor was humble and arrogant, and successively served as the prime minister of the three dynasties, and Huan Wenpingsu admired and feared him. When the emperor received Huan Wen and wept sadly at him, Huan Wen was so frightened that he could not speak. By this time, some officials, adhering to Huan Wen's will, requested that Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, be killed, but the emperor did not agree. Huan Wen insisted again and again, and the emperor himself issued an edict replying: "If the Jin dynasty is long-lasting, the Ming Gong should follow the previous edict." If the great fortune of the Jin Chamber has gone, then please let me make way for the sages. Huan Wen looked at it, frightened into a cold sweat, and his face changed, so he stopped talking. On the day of The Second Death, Sima Xi and his three sons were deposed and exiled to Xin'an. On the day of the first birthday, Sima Chao, the new king of Cai, was exiled to Hengyang. On the afternoon of the fifth day, the edict said: "The royal family is difficult, Emperor Mu and Emperor Ai left the world prematurely, the imperial unity has long been changed, and the throne has no master." The King of the East Sea is such a close relative of the emperor's mother and brother, who entered the dynasty to inherit the unification, and has been in charge for many years, dark and distant, disturbing the imperial program, human morality is corrupt, great calamities are about to come, and the gods of my ancestors do not know where to pin their hopes. The empress dowager was deeply worried about the foundation of the imperial family and made a grand plan in time. Following the will of the heavenly people, sima the great sima personally led the princes to respectfully accept the orders of the saints. Now that the clouds and fog have been swept away and the royal family has been able to clear up, they will take care of yu Yuan and inherit the work of Hongdae. Even Yi Yin and The Yin Dynasty, Bo Lu and the Han Dynasty, could not be surpassed. He temporarily took the throne with his weak virtues, but he was really worried that he would have a narrow vision, that he would not be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities, that he would tremble and that he would not know how to succeed. Thinking of and renewing the world with tens of millions of people, he decided to grant amnesty to the world, the people feasted for five days, the rank of civil and military officials increased by a second class, and rewarded filial piety and loyalty, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and no one raised them, and each person had five rice. "On the day of his death, reward Huan Wen with 30,000 soldiers, one cloth per person, and one piece of rice." On the day of Gengshen, he awarded Sima Huanwen the title of Chancellor, but Huanwen did not accept it. On Xin Youri, Huan Wen returned from Baishi and kept the town guarding his sister. The champion general Mao Wusheng was appointed to oversee the military forces of Jingzhou and Yicheng in Yangzhou. In December, the emperor issued an edict that because of the large reserves of materials in Kyoto, the right to stop the shipment for one year. On the day of Gengyin, Sima Yi, the king of the Eastern Sea, was deposed as the Duke of Haixi, and the number of food estates was 4,000. On the day of Xin Jiao, he offered wine for the first time at the Taimiao Temple. In the spring of the second year, the kings of Baekje and Lim-eui each sent emissaries to pay tribute to local souvenirs. In February, Jian Jian went to Liaodong to attack Murong Huan and destroyed Murong Huan. In March, Ding You, the emperor, said: "The Emperor has experienced three dynasties in the position of prime minister, and he cannot make the time peaceful, and the Duke of Haixi has lost his virtue and almost overthrown the imperial family, relying on the kindness of the ancestral gods, the virtues of the empress dowager conform to the fortunes of heaven, and the loyal and virtuous officials of the auxiliary bows are fully exerted, so they can sweep away the qi in the sky and shine the glory of the morning sun in the universe." So he put his body on top of the prince, thinking of relying on the sages to correct his mistakes. From the end, curbing flashiness and extravagance, so that thirst is separated, there is a difference between competent and incompetent, officials have no bad political affairs, scholars have no criticism, if there is no punishment and qualifications, then how to implement moral etiquette? Moreover, the powerful enemy has not yet been destroyed, and the labor force has not ceased, unless it is a military, political, and political war sacrifice, and the gorgeous decorations and complicated expenses are reduced. The wise men who retreat in the valley, the scholars who follow the customs and the ups and downs, even if they insist on the high festival of the heavens, live in the deep valley, and want to revitalize the reputation of synergy with noble morality, where is it better than being complacent between the mountains and rivers, hiding in the deep mountains and valleys, following the high purity of the puppet, but forgetting the great righteousness of the world? The ancients were not accustomed to the sages of previous generations, so they also had false thoughts about today. Hundreds of officials inside and outside, each diligently engaged in government affairs, so that good deeds were all spread, evil deeds were not reported, so that the poet did not have the irony of vegetarian food, and I also got the name of humble visit. On the day of the ugly, the edict said: "I inherit the great inheritance of my ancestors, but I am not good at governing the country, and I am afraid that I will not be able to properly govern the cause entrusted by heaven and revitalize the inheritance of my ancestors, and I worry all day long, as if wading through the river." All by the loyalty of the auxiliary ministers, the concerted efforts, the ministers inside and outside the country to do their best to plan to assist, the civil and military officials showed their self-respect for self-discipline, hoping that in the long run, they can finally save the world, whenever I think of the war has not stopped, the country and the people are tired and difficult, the town has the important task of guarding the border, the soldiers who guard the defense have the worries described in the poem "Dongshan", some of them are fighting on the battlefield until they are old, loyal and hard work has not been rewarded, some are long-term service, but the family does not even have food reserves. Why not get up before dawn and not go to bed in the middle of the night? Although I can't personally comfort and inspect them, I also want to convey my feelings to them. Ambassadors were sent to pay tribute to Sima Da, and to the magistrates, to the border, to read edicts, to reward the soldiers, and to reassure them. He also rewarded them according to the regulations, so that all of them could know" On the day of the second death, the edict said: "After the previous changes, all kinds of goods are not sufficient, and the officials' ordinary money is very thin, which is a practice that is determined at any time." However, in the DPRK, the diet is reduced, and the feng lu cannot replace labor, which is not the usual system. Now that the shopping reserves are becoming more and more insufficient, it is possible to increase the number of qilu appropriately. "A monster appeared in Yuzhang. In April, Xia transferred Haixi Gong to Xichaili in Wu County. After chasing yu said Madame. In June, he sent emissaries to honor Yu Gu, the king of Baekje, as the general of Zhendong and the leader of Lelang Taishou. On the day of the fifth day, the former general Gengxi led the army to rebel and entered Jingkou from Hailing, and Jinling Taishou Bian fled to Qu'a. In the autumn of July, Huan Wen sent Shi Zhou Shaosun of the East China Sea to beg Gengxi, captured him, and killed him in the downtown area of Jiankang. On the day of his death, Sima Changming, the Prince of Lihui, was made crown prince, and Sima Daozi, the crown prince, was made the King of Lang evil, and he also understood the history of Ji Nei. On the same day, the emperor died in the East Hall at the age of fifty-three. Buried in Gaoping Mausoleum, temple number Taizong. The edict asked Huan Wen to assist in the state administration, according to the story of Zhuge Liang and Wang Dao.  

The Book of Jin, a classic of traditional Chinese studies, lecture 18: Emperor Ji Jianwen Emperor Sima Yu

The emperor has few manners, good looks, pays attention to the classics, does not care about the place, and is full of dust, Cham Ruye. Tasting the tour version bridge with Huan Wen and Wuling Wang Xi, Wen Xuan ordered the trumpet to blow the horn, and the car galloped and ran, wanting to see what it was doing. Xi was terrified and begged to get off, but the emperor was safe and fearless, and Wen was convinced. Wen not only served in the service of civil and military duty, but also made great achievements, abolished them, and strengthened the inside and outside. Although the emperor was in a dignified position, he was only silent and obedient, and he was often afraid of being deposed. First of all, the confusion is too small, and the search for Haixi is wasted. And Emperor Deng, the confusion is too small, and the emperor is very evil. When Zhongshu Lang Xi Chao was in Zhi, Emperor Nai introduced, saying: "The cultivation of fate is short, and this institute does not count, so there should be no recurrence of recent evils!" Chao Yue: "The Great Sima Chen Wen Fang Internal Solid Sheji, the Outer Restoration, extraordinary things, the subject with a hundred mouths to protect it." And Chao asked to urgently reflect on his father, the emperor said: "Greetings to the honorable prince, the affairs of the family and the country, so this is it!" Yu Wu can not be defended by the Tao, the sigh is so deep, how can words be metaphorical. Because Yong Yu expounded the poem Yun, "The heroes are in pain, and the loyal subjects mourn the humiliation of the Lord", so they wept and wept. Although the emperor's divine knowledge is idyllic, and there is no way to help the world, Xie An is called the like of Emperor Hui, and the qing talk is better than the ear. Shamen Zhidaolin tasted that "there will be a distant body and no distant god". Xie Ling traced his deeds and thought that he was a gifted person.

[Translation] When Emperor Jianwen was young, he had a good demeanor, his appearance and demeanor were very good, he paid attention to the classics, he did not pay attention to the living environment, and the seats were full of dust, and he was still happy. Once with Huan Wen and Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, to tour the Banqiao Bridge, Huan Wen suddenly ordered the drum to be beaten and the horn to be blown, and the carriage and horse suddenly sped at a rapid pace, wanting to see the performance of the two of them. Sima Xi was very frightened and asked to get out of the car, but Emperor Jianwen looked calm and did not panic at all, and Constant Temperature was in awe of him. Huan Wen relied on his civil and military official positions, and made great contributions many times, plus abolishing the old emperor and establishing a new emperor, which threatened both inside and outside the imperial court. Although Emperor Jianwen was on the throne, he could only do nothing and stick to the normal way, often afraid of being deposed. Previously, the Plague Star entered Taiwei, and soon Haixi Gong was deposed. When Emperor Jian Wen ascended to the throne, the plague star was too small, and Emperor Jian Wen hated this very much. At that time, Zhongshu Lang Xichao was on duty, and the emperor called him in and said to him, "Of course, the length of life is not considered, so there should be no more abolitions from the previous days!" Xi Chao said: "Grand Sima Huanwen is consolidating the Jiangshan internally, planning extraordinary things externally, and his subordinates are guaranteed by the whole family." When Xi Chao requested a hasty visit to his father, the emperor said to him, "Please convey my greetings to Ling Zun, the affairs of the country have reached this point!" Because I can't use the right way to correct the society, the shame is so deep, how can words express it. So Yong Yong yu expounded the poem that "the zhishi were sad for the danger of the imperial court, and the loyal subjects were sad for the humiliation of the monarch", and finally wet the placket with tears. Although Emperor Jianwen was well-informed, he did not have a grand strategy to save the world, so Xie An called him Emperor Hui and the like, but the qing talk was slightly stronger. The monk Zhi Daolin once said, "The king of Huiji has a lofty appearance but no lofty god." Xie Lingyun traced his actions and also believed that he was a figure like King Xian of Zhou.
