The army of the State of Qi finally invaded the capital of the State of Yan, and ironically, it was actually the Yan people who opened the city gates, and an old man in the palace with a face full of vicissitudes muttered to himself, "The wrong country of the son, I cannot see the ancestors of the ancestors." Without saying a word, he drew his sword and fell into a pool of blood, and he was Ji Ji, the thirty-eighth monarch of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Yan Kingdom.
Yan Duo committed suicide
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" appeared > the great changes of the times</h1>
The State of Yan is of noble blood and has a long history, and the first monarch, Zhao Gong, was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and was given the title of King of Yan.
The State of Yan adhered to the tradition of the royal way and adhered to etiquette, and almost did not participate in the attack between the princes throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was precisely because of this that the State of Yan was unknown among the princes, more like a hermit, and the territory was hardly expanded.
Map of the Warring States situation
The wheel of the times soon came to the Warring States, which was an era of deceit, conspiracy and ambition, and the Yan State still adhered to tradition, and the contradiction between the two was naturally irreconcilable.
The attack ensued, and it was the State of Qi that attacked the State of Yan, although the State of Yan eventually repelled the State of Qi, but the times no longer allowed the State of Yan to just look at it coldly, but to really consider its own way of life and death.
It was at such a turning point in history that Ji Duo (also known as Yan Duo) became the thirty-eighth generation of Yan kings.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > adhere to the Mojia tradition</h1>
Although Yan Duo finally perished and died in the end, from his personal character, he was called a wise man, why did he say so?
"Han Feizi Say Doubts", "Disturb the joy of children, do not listen to the sound of bells and stones, do not pollute the pond terrace inside, and do not wave the field hunting outside." ”
From "Han Feizi", we can know that Yan Duo is not close to women, does not listen to the sound of melancholy, does not covet the prosperity of the residence, nor indulges in hunting, and his greatest hobby is to cultivate himself, often wearing busy clothes to meet the courtiers.
Yan Duo often wears agricultural clothing
Such a person who worries about the country and the people, and who does his own work, the ancient sages are probably no more than that.
The Yan kingdom itself has the tradition of the Mo family, which is mainly because the Mo family's "non-attack, both love, and shangxian" are extremely consistent with the historical situation of the Yan family, and Yan Duo is a fanatical believer in this idea, and this fanaticism has led to the evil consequences of "letting the country" later.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > Zen position let the sages entrust non-human</h1>
Zizhi was a magnate in the State of Yan, and Yan Huan called herself the queen and appreciated Zizhi very much, so she valued him and made him the xiang state of the State of Yan. Zizhi was decisive in his work, good at supervising and assessing his subordinates, and even more praised by Yan, rest assured that he would entrust things to Zizhi to handle.
Xiang Bangzizhi
In this process, Zizhi gathered a group of ministers and formed a political alliance with Zizhi as the core, and Crown Prince Jiping felt threatened, and also attracted a group of ministers, so that the two political groups launched a secret struggle in the court of the Yan Kingdom.
Of course, Yan Duo also found this situation, he was deeply worried about such a situation, but he was suffering from no good plan, and at this time, two key figures appeared, Su Dai and Lu Maoshou.
(1) Su Dai's letter of persuasion
Su Dai was the younger brother of Su Qin, who was serving in the State of Qi at that time, sending an envoy to the State of Yan, and the son's heavy gold was given to him, and the two performed a double reed in front of Yan Duo.
Su Dai flickered yan
Su Dai first served Yan Duo, and later changed to serve the State of Qi, and Yan Duo was considered an old acquaintance, so Yan Duo asked, "Will the King of Qi reign supreme?" Su Dai replied, "The King of Qi cannot dominate." Yan Duo asked the reason, and Su Dai replied, "The King of Qi does not trust his ministers, and how can the King of Qi alone dominate, I think the King of Qi trusts his subjects better than the King of Qi." ”
Yan Duo was very happy to hear it, and she had more respect for Zizhi, and we certainly knew from God's perspective that this was just a show of Su Dai and Zizhi.
(2) Lu Mao Shou said let
Zizhi's prestige at that time was growing, and the threat of the State of Qi was also growing, so Lu Maoshou of the Zizhi clique took the opportunity to speak to Yan.
"The king might as well give up the throne to Xiangbang, and the reason why people praise Tang Yao is because Tang Yao let the country and Xu You, but Xu Yu did not accept it, so that Tang Yao has the reputation of Zen Rang and his virtues are known all over the world." Now that the great king has given up the throne, the son will not dare to bear it, but the great king's virtue is like Tang Yao's. ”
Yan Duo Zen Jean
Normal people can know the ridiculousness of this logic, but Lu Maoshou took advantage of Yan Duo's fanatical belief in the Mo family tradition, especially for the psychology of letting Xian push the energy, yan duo was very happy to hear it, so he entrusted all state affairs to Zizhi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > disgruntled prince civil unrest</h1>
After Yan Duo gave way to Zi, the crown prince still held the right to appoint ministers in the middle of the country, so Zizhi sent someone to lobby Yan Duo.
The people of Tianxia said that Xia Yu nominally passed the world to Bo Yi, but in fact let Xia Qi take the world on his own. Now the king said that the state was entrusted to the son, and the officials were all the princes, which was nominally entrusted to the son, but in fact it was the crown prince Ji Ping who was in power. ”
Crown Prince Jiping rebelled and was killed
Yan Yu then gave the power to hold important officials to Zizhi, and the crown prince Ji Ping completely lost his power. Prince JiPing felt deeply frightened, so he joined forces with the nobles of the Yan state who were dissatisfied with Zizhi to launch a civil unrest, and eventually Zizhi quelled the civil unrest, and the crown prince Ji Ping and the general City were killed, but the Yan state was also seriously injured.
Just as Yan Guo was licking his wounds, the hunters who were watching the tiger next to him finally moved, and the State of Qi and the State of Zhongshan attacked Yan in a big way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > guo was killed and humiliated</h1>
The strength of the State of Yan itself was far inferior to that of the State of Qi, but what Yan Duo did not expect was that the Yan army did not fight, and the city gates were not closed. The Qi army was overwhelming all the way, and soon hit the capital of the Yan state.
Son's murder
Civil unrest caused tens of thousands of deaths in the Yan kingdom, the Yan people believed that Zizhi was the culprit, and the throne was not right, so there was no resistance to the Qi army, Zizhi was captured by the Qi army, chopped into meat sauce, and the Yan people praised it.
And Yan Duo appeared at the beginning of the article, killing himself in the palace.
Subsequently, the Qi army also tore off the mask of the liberators, wantonly plundered the Yan kingdom, destroyed the Yan state ancestral temple, slaughtered the people of the Yan state, the Yan state rose up to resist, and the Zhao state also escorted the Yan shu zi Ji back to china, inheriting the throne, known in history as the king of Yan Zhao, the Yan state was restored, but from then on away from the Mo family thought.
King Yan Zhaowang was online, but there was no Mo family ever since
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > a tragedy ahead of its time</h1>
Yan Duo trusted his son, Zen gave up the throne, originally wanted to push the virtuous and powerful country, but in the end he died and the country was destroyed, what is the problem?
The problem was that Yan's ideas were beyond that era, the Warring States period was full of intrigue and ambition, the warriors were in charge, the Mo family and the Confucians were at a disadvantage at that time, and his ideas were not understood by people who were upright and close, but were used by people with ulterior motives.
"Idealist" Yan Duo
Zizhi does not seem to be too big, but this person has ambitions that do not match his talents, and is not accepted by the Yan society, which eventually leads to the tragedy of the Yan kingdom and the individual.
It is a pity that Yan Duo is a victim of the times, both an untimely continuation of the Mo family's thought in the Warring States and a target for people with ulterior motives. He was a hands-on idealist and a utopian who was detached from reality. With the death of Yan Duo, the Mo family ended on the stage of the Warring States.
