The article "Jun Zheng" is the twelfth document of "Shangshu Zhoushu". There are different accounts of when this article was written. One said that after Zhou Gong Julu returned to power, one said that it was before Lu. I think the latter is appropriate.
Summoning the prince is the guarantee, the Zhou prince is the teacher, and the king is the left and right. Zhao Gong didn't say it, Zhou Gong made "Jun Zheng".
Zhou Gongruo said: "Jun Zheng! Fu hangs, the sky descends to Yin, Yin has fallen to his life, and I have Zhou to suffer." I don't dare to know: Ji Ji Yongfu is resting. If the sky is sincere, I don't dare to know: it is ominous in the end. Woohoo! I dare not be willing to give in to God's order, and I will always remember the power of heaven and surpass my people. In my descendants, the great Fu Ke Gong up and down, curb the predecessors at home, do not know that the destiny is not easy, the sky is difficult, it is his fate, Fu Ke experienced. The heirs, Gong Mingde, are in the present. To the boy Dan Fei Ke is positive, Di Wei predecessors are only given to my chongzi. He also said: 'Heaven is not credible', I am only Ning Wang Deyan, and Heaven is not unrelieved by King Wen's order. ”
Gong said: "Jun Zheng! I heard that in the past, Chengtang was ordered, and when there was Ruo Yiyin, he was in the emperor's sky." In Taijia, there is a balance. In Taiwu, there are Ruo Yizhi, ministers, and God; In Zu Yi, there are witches from time to time. In Wuding, there is a Ruogan plate. The rate is only Chen, and there is Yin, so Yin Lizhi is matched with the sky, and there are many years. Heaven is pure and blessed, then the people and kings of the business are not virtuous, and the ministers are Pinghou Dian, and they are running away. However, Ziweide said that if a person has something to do in the Quartet, if he is not Fu. ”
Gong said: "Jun Zheng! Tianshou Pingge, Bao Yi has Yin, there is Yin, there is Yin, and the sky is extinguished." Now you will always think, then there is a solid life, and the chaos will make me a new state. ”
In the past, God cut off the virtue of persuading King Ning, and his great life was to bow down. But Shang Kexiu, the king of Wen, and I have Xia, and only if Uncle Yu, if Hongyao, if Sanyisheng, if Taidian, if Nangong Kuo. He also said: "Incapable of communication, Zidi Yi Sect, King Wen contempt for the countrymen." It is also only pure and virtuous, Di knows the power of heaven, is only the time of the king of Zhaowen, Di sees and hears of God, but when he receives the order! Houji Wuwang, the birth of Tianwei, Xianliu is the enemy. Weizi is the four Zhaowu kings, but the pretending Pi is single. Today in the little boy, if you travel to the river, to go to Ji Ru Qiji. The kid is not in office, and he has no responsibility for his birth, and he can't close it. If the virtue does not fall, I will not hear the songbirds, and I will say that it has the ability?"
Gong said: "Woohoo! I have been ordered to rest without borders, and it is also very difficult. Sue you, it is Yu Yu me, and I will not be confused by future generations. ”
Gong said: "The predecessors were filled with their hearts, but they ordered you to be the best of your people." He said: 'King Ru Ming, you are here. Take advantage of the great life, but the king of Wen De Pi inherits, and has no borders. ’”
The public said: "Jun, sue you, I promise to protect you." His Ru Kejing, in order to be imprisoned in the mourning of the great no, wantonly remembers my heavenly might. If you don't allow it, but if you say it, you will say: 'Xiang and I, do you have a match?' He said, 'There are two of them at the time. The day is closed, but the two of them are in trouble. 'His Ru Ke respects virtue, and I am handsome, and when I let future generations Yu Pi. Woohoo! When the two of them were in the middle of the day, I would be reluctant to take a break today? I did not slack off on the merits of King Xianchengwen, and I braved the sea to rise out of the sun, and I was reckless. ”
Gong said: "Jun! ”
Gong said: "Woohoo! Jun! But even if you know the virtue of the people, you can't do it at the beginning, but at the end." Zoz, to respect and use the rule. ”
The bane of the rebellion of the three prisons
Guan Shuxian is the third brother of Zhou Gong, and he teamed up with his fifth brother Cai Shudu and eighth brother Huo Shudu to support Wu Geng and launch a rebellion, which is known as the "Rebellion of the Three Prisons" in history.
The rebellion of the three eunuchs was essentially a rebellion to seize the throne. The succession system of the Shang Dynasty monarch was "brother to brother", and the eldest brother succeeded the monarch when he died. After the death of King Wu of Zhou, his son Ji Chan was the heir, that is, King Cheng of Zhou, who was "the father and the son". Zhou Gong practiced the regency, and there was a suspicion of "brother to brother". Zhou Gong ranked fourth, which caused the dissatisfaction of the third brother Guan Shuxian. Guan Shuxian spread remarks inside and outside the court, saying that the Duke of Zhou had the intention of usurping and killing, and that "the Duke of Zhou will not be conducive to becoming a king."
For a while, people were panicked, and King Zhou Cheng also avoided Duke Zhou. Zhou Gong started from the overall situation, resigned from the regent throne, and went to the fiefdom of Lu from the capital city of Haojing. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Zhaogong and had a heart-to-heart talk, which achieved the eternal beauty of "Jun Zheng".
After Zhou Gongdong went to Lu, the government and the opposition returned to peace. Uncle Guan rarely thought that the time was ripe, and as the eldest brother, he united with Cai Shudu and Huo Shu, and instigated Wu Geng to raise the anti-Zhou banner in Yindi (now Anyang, Hebi, Henan). At this time, the Zhou Dynasty was founded less than three years ago, the national foundation was unstable, the people's will was undecided, and the vassal states of Xu (now Suqian, Jiangsu, Sihong), Xian (now Qufu, Shandong) and other vassal states in the east, as well as some ethnic groups in the Huai River valley, took the opportunity to raise troops, and many military forces swarmed into chaos, which gradually became a trend. In the face of the crisis, the ministers of the imperial court had two factions: one faction was the main faction to suppress the rebels and proposed to welcome back the Duke of Zhou, and the other faction was the main faction and preferred to negotiate with Guan Shuxian. The people around King Zhou Cheng already knew that the rumors spread by Guan Shuxian were a plan to distract from him, but they were still jealous of Zhou Gong, and they had no choice but to welcome Zhou Gong back and discuss a strategy to fight the chaos. Zhou Gong formulated a two-step plan, first quelling the rebellion of the three eunuchs, and then denouncing the rebellion of Xu and Xian. King Cheng authorized the Duke of Zhou to lead an expedition to the east, and it took three years to quell the rebellion of the three eunuchs, and it took more than two years to exterminate the Xu, Xian and Huaiyi tribes.
Zhou Gong was a master of ideological and political work
Before the Eastern Expedition of Zhou Gong, he made a pre-war mobilization report to the ministers, which was both clear and inciting. It was recorded by the historian, that is, the article "The Great Message" in the "Book of Shang".
The full text of the book is about 900 words.
Before making a mobilization report, Zhou Gong used the big treasure turtle left by King Wen to conduct a divination, and the divination was obtained: "There are great difficulties in the western soil, and the people of the western soil are not quiet." This divination is preconceived, and it is the foreshadowing laid by Zhou Gong for this report: our country has a disaster from the east, and since then our Zhou people will have no peace in the country.
