First, the Zen process of the Yan King
King Yi of Yan ( Yan ) , surnamed Yan ( 姬 ) , a native of Jidu (now Fangshan District , Beijing ) , was the 38th monarch of the State of Yan , who died in 320 BC and served as king of Yan for 2 years.
After the death of Su Qin of the Warring States Zongheng family, his younger brother Su Dai continued to lobby between countries, and after coming to the Yan Kingdom, he intermarried with the Yan State Xiangzi zhi to become a relative, and the Son's intention to seize the power of the Yan State was planned for a long time. When Su Dai returned from a visit to the State of Qi, the King of Yan asked him if king Qi could dominate. SuDai said that he could not dominate. King Yan asked why. Sudai said that because he did not trust his ministers. The King of Yan seemed to have realized something, so he handed over all the power to the State Minister Zizhi.
Not long after, the chancellor Lu Maoshou said to the King of Yan, "Why do people say that Emperor Yao is a wise monarch, because he can make the world." Now if you cede the country to the Minister of State, you can gain the same good reputation as Di Yao. The King of Yan entrusted the entire Yan kingdom to Zizhi.
There was also a shameless person who was not afraid of things to fool the King of Yan: in ancient times, Xia Yu originally cultivated Yi as a successor, but let his son Qi be Yi's subordinate and let Yi be sandwiched between their father and son. After passing the throne to Yi, Kai colluded with his own men to attack Yi and soon seized the throne. Therefore, people say that Yu is open and secret, and he has already laid out a situation to let his son Qi go to seize the throne himself. Now although you say that you have handed over the country, the officials at all levels are still the people of the prince, and there is no real name. Therefore, the King of Yan confiscated all the official seals and gave zizhi the right to appoint large and small officials. From then on, the original minister of state, Zizhi, became the monarch of the country from the south to the north, and the King of Yan, Ji Duo, was also older, but instead he was reported to the son, no longer asked about politics, and the major affairs and small affairs of the country were decided by the son.
Ridiculous, don't laugh, the sad thing is coming.
Second, the serious consequences after meditation
Zizhi triumphantly became king for three years, and there was a riot in the country. Ji Ping, the former prince of the Yan Kingdom, was naturally not willing to accept the seven or eight hundred years of inheritance left by his ancestors. The internal united general City was supported by the State of Qi, and the city was ordered to be attacked by Xiang Zizhi, and several attacks and defenses could not be taken down, and the city was attacked by prince Ji Ping. For several months of continuous fighting, tens of thousands of people died in the Yan kingdom. The people were panicked and fled in all directions. At this time, the State of Qi sent troops to the rescue, and when the generals of the State of Yan saw that the Qi army was coming, they not only did not resist, but also opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city. Qi Jun grabbed Zizhi and tied him up and returned to the State of Qi, chopped it into meat sauce, and conveniently killed the Yan King, who had given up his ancestral family property without authorization. This is not to mention, and then because the succession issue of Zhao Guo and Qin Guo also intervened in the process, Crown Prince Ji Ping finally did not resist the attack of the descendants of the Yan State supported by the Zhao State and the Qin State, and the soldiers were defeated and killed.
Third, why is It so easy for Yan Wang to be deceived?
First of all, Yan Wang Ji Was a typical idealist. He admired the story of the ancient king Yao Shun Yu Chan Rang very much, and he was also deeply influenced by the ideas of benevolent people loving people and good virtuous deeds, hoping to establish an ideal country where the monarchs and sages could rule without doing anything through their own efforts. According to the "Han Feizi Doubts" record, he did not like women, did not like music, lived a simple life, and did not like the popular horseback hunting activities of the monarchs at that time, but personally went to the land to farm and experienced the hardships of lower-class laborers. Even the ancient Ming Emperor could not do this. It can be described as a loyal gentleman.
Second, Kunikoko is an ambitious schemer. He is dictatorial and has a desire for power, but he is good at pandering to Ji Ji's psychology of pushing xian to be able to pretend to be very capable to gain the trust of his master. But his talents may be really fake. Less than three years after taking over the throne, there was a great domestic chaos, and although there were opposition from the old forces headed by Prince Ji, prince Ping, it was not pacified within three years, and its ability was really rare.
Fourth, the group of the State Minister of State flickered, and gradually led Ji Duo into the trap they had set. It is unknown whether the Concept of Benevolent Governance and The Use of The Confucian Concept of Serving People with Virtue is suitable for governing the country is not known, and perhaps it will be effective after people are indoctrinated and their ideological level is improved. At that time, in the era of strife in the world and the deceit of others, in the face of major interests involved, it may be a matter of taking advantage of the word and disregarding benevolence and righteousness.
