The last twilight of the king's former dynasty: The last king of the Lu kingdom, Lu Qinggong

The last twilight of the king's former dynasty: The last king of the Lu kingdom, Lu Qinggong

The Warring States developed into the Lu Dynasty, and most of the princes recognized the power of the Qin state. Even the most intelligent people cannot change the general trend of people's hearts, the decay of the princely states has rotted to the bone, the so-called combination of vertical and horizontal has been completely disintegrated, the yuwei of the Six Kingdoms has dissipated, and the Qin state has no match since the Battle of Changping. The history of the Zhou people is an exploration from tribal chieftain politics to centralized politics, and that kind of decentralized tribal management thinking has evolved into the so-called sub-feudal system and the primogeniture inheritance system, and the political system has been integrated into the society to become the basic system that frames the operation of the state, that is, the management mode of the stars holding the moon. The princes are the stars, and the Zhou Tianzi is the moon, and this system guarantees the stability of the Zhou people's politics for eight hundred years, and becomes the rules and laws in the Zhou ceremony, which is passed down from generation to generation.

The history of the expansion of the Qin people is a history of centralization in the true sense, that is, the transformation of the system of dividing feudalism based on blood relations into a political management system with the emperor as the sole honor, only the emperor can shine, the stars before are gone, the princes in the traditional sense have completely disappeared, replaced by the local county orders appointed and dismissed by the emperor's concubines, and the national government decrees are the emperor alone. And this model itself is actually what the powerful people of that year believed, that is, the monarch must have absolute authority to truly escape the control of the powerful family in the country, and it is possible to truly promote the comprehensive progress of the reform of the national system, and any force that hinders the movement to change the law is absolutely wrong and should be under the control of the monarch. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many princely states implemented the law of change, but most of them failed in the opposition of conservatives, such as the Shen Bu Harm Change Law in Korea and the Wu Qi Change Law in the Chu State.

When Zhou Tianzi's concubine power, Eastern Zhou Jun, ran to the Qin state to worship, it meant that the Zhou people's centralized power exploration had failed. From the ideological roots of that era, the princes of that era still hoped that there was a powerful figure who could truly change the ancient chaotic world disputes and be able to rule the princes of the whole country, even if later Zhou Tianzi was weak, there were still Qi Huan Gong, Jin Wen Gong and other people who were promoting "Honoring the King", which was trying to find a certain balance. However, in the Warring States period, with the collapse of Zhou Tianzi's exploration of centralized power, the princely states could not find a country that could make everyone willing to submit for a long time, and the order inevitably fell into chaos, and the major princely states began to make trouble, fighting, killing and killing was only a measure to rob the interests of the state, and for more than a hundred years, such figures as Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong could not appear in the Central Plains, and as for the Lu people who controlled the most political heritage of the Zhou people, they could not adapt to this change at all.

There are still many people of insight above the Luguo Court, such as Sanhuan, Confucius and others. Of course, these people have received political education from the Zhou people from beginning to end, which is the key to their ability to be used by the monarch, they not only inherit the tradition of the Zhou people's aristocratic politics, but also control the core resources of the country and guide the development of public opinion; the same problem is that the same education they received led to them not being able to change the development trajectory of the country more thoroughly, and they could not directly expel the monarch and establish themselves as kings with their own ideas. Therefore, the sense of existence of the Lu people after entering the Warring States was significantly lower than that of the Spring and Autumn Period, and this dilemma lasted for nearly two hundred years, and was finally liberated in the Qin campaign to attack Zhou Tianzi.

During the days when Zhou Tianzi was gone, he didn't know how the Lu Qing Guild felt. The Lu people have the most remnants of the Zhou people's political system, and the largest number of Zhou humanistic history classics, that is, most of the Zhou rituals that the Zhou people worship are also stored in the Lu Guo Deep Palace. As a Lu people who hold the most of the political legacy of the Zhou people, after learning about the Qin people's attack on Zhou Tianzi, they will definitely sigh in their hearts, "Zhou Tianzi is actually gone?" What is the significance of the existence of the State of Lu? The Lu people can still have a vendetta against which country, the tian qi monarch in the north is no longer surnamed Ji, the chu state in the south is also a foreign race, the neighboring Han Zhao Wei is only a distant relative, and the most important thing is that these countries can no longer fight against the Qin state. The history books say: "King Chu Kaolie destroyed Lu. After the death of the Duke of Qi, moved to Xiayi, for the sake of his family, Lu Zhiqi", all Lu Qinggong could do was to carry the Zhou Li with him and secretly hide it in the wall, quietly waiting for the end of Lu Guo's life.
