Read a piece of history, taste a piece of life.
Hello everyone, I am Paige, today to share with you a draft grandfather story, click on the right to follow to see more historical stories.
Speaking of King You of Zhou, everyone may feel a little strange, but it seems that someone has heard of it somewhere, yes, he is the king of the beacon theater princes in history, that is, a king of the Zhou Dynasty after the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty.
More than 2,700 years ago, King Zhou You left a legend that he loved Jiangshan more than he loved beauty, and he loved beauty so that he could not even want Jiangshan.
It is said that King Zhou You was born rich and did not know the sufferings of the people, and in his first year of the dynasty, he planned the first draft in history and asked all the beautiful women in the country to participate.
The draft process at the time was like this:
First the ministers conducted the preliminary examination, and then the Zhou Youwang conducted the interview, after all, it was the draft held by the king, so the people who sent it were all showy, dignified and elegant.
King Zhou You, while choosing, while trying, can not choose where to go back and forth, after the test satisfied to stay as a concubine, dissatisfied directly thrown to do palace women, this year soon passed, King Zhou You's harem is full, but none of them make him satisfied.
What is the concept of harem fullness?
The Zhou Dynasty had the rules of the Zhou Dynasty, even if it was a king, it was not as much as you wanted to marry, and it was stipulated that the harem was managed by the queen, and there were three wives under the queen, and these four people must be the daughters of princes or secretaries.
After the four people at the tip, there were nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one imperial wives, that is, the ancestors stipulated that the king of the Zhou Dynasty could only have a maximum of one hundred and twenty-one women, just in a square of eleven people.
Logically speaking, such a compilation is enough, but King Zhou You is greedy by nature, and he used up these compilations a year after he became king, and the key is that he is not particularly satisfied with it.
In the second year of King Youwang of Zhou, that is, in 780 BC, a major earthquake occurred in Qishan, killing people and cutting off the flow of rivers.
Taishi Boyang's father stood up at the first time, denouncing that all this was the result of the Zhou Youwang's failure to exercise moral government and the unauthorized draft, because Qishan was the dragon vein of the Zhou Dynasty, and the interruption of the river also meant that the national fortune of the country was decaying, and Boyang Father believed that the national fortune of the Zhou Dynasty was at most ten years away.
Do you wonder where this is too historically bold?
Eating the grain of the official family and complaining about the king's deeds, this is also to be safe and sound in the Spring and Autumn Period, if it is replaced by a later feudal dynasty, the emperor can be beheaded.
King Zhou You's uncle Zhou Gong also came to scold him, saying that he had abused his power, worked hard and hurt the people's wealth, and built so many palaces in a big way that he could cause the heavens to be angry.
Another of his uncles, Zhao Gong, also came to scold him, telling him to stop the draft and care about the people's livelihood.
King Zhou Youwang smiled awkwardly and said:
"If I don't rebuild the palace, I may be shocked by this earthquake, because the earthquake is providence, what does it have to do with me, and the draft is not delayed at all."
King Zhou You did not eat the lessons of his uncles, and saw that the chancellor Yu (yin Tongguo) Shi Father came to him again, so it was a stinky scolding to Face Father Yu Shi, and the grievance in Yu Shi Father's heart still made up a song to praise King Zhou You, saying that the earthquake relief had achieved results, and that all the leaders of King Zhou You were well-led.
Isn't this a perfect match for the Emperor and the Courtier?
Coincidentally, the king of the Kingdom of Praise, one of the princely states, came to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and heard that the second duke of Zhou Zhao had reprimanded King Zhou You, and not only was he not punished, but he was also praised by the people and gained a good reputation.
The king thought to himself, 'Is there such a good thing?' Then I'll try it too. ’
After seeing King Zhou You, the King of The Kingdom of Chu gave a reprimand to King Zhou You, and as a result, King Zhou You, angry, directly arrested the King of the Kingdom of Zhou and put him in his cell, scolding:
"You don't pee and take care of yourself, my uncle reprimanded me and put up with it, just because you dare to reprimand me?"
The king was arrested and imprisoned, and the kingdom sat in a mess.
After the king was ill and rushed to the hospital, he said to Shizi, "I heard that King Zhou You is drafting, do you want to send your sister over?" ”
She looked at her and said, "As far as her posture is concerned, she can only be a palace girl when she is sent in, and it is better not to send it." ”
When everyone has a bright eye, Chu Yan thought of his favorite woman, a girl who looked like a heavenly immortal, so he found the girl, and the makeover was sent to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, for Qiu Ji, a woman who was about to change the world.
Zhou Youwang had long been discouraged about the draft, and when he heard that another draft woman had come, he reluctantly took a look at it for the sake of the country, and immediately his eyes lit up and he looked at the girl in front of him.
In this way, She lost her beloved girl and exchanged her father for a gaffe.
