Fu, who first met Fu, said that this person should be in our junior high school textbook.
Mencius has a cloud: "Shunfa is in the middle of the mu, and Fu said that it is raised between the plates..." Let us know that in order to "surrender the great responsibility", we must first "suffer his heart and bones". The textbook simply tells us that Fu said that it was used from the labor of building walls.
Fu said that because he was poor, he sold himself and lived in the round earth (prison) of beihai prefecture, wearing burlap clothes and rope chains, and built a city in Fu Yan to obtain food and clothing. That is, a slave.
So how did he get into phase?
Wu Ding, the King of Shang, had a dream that the Emperor of Heaven had recommended a virtuous courtier to him.
The next day, when he went to court, Wu Ding carved the image of the sage he saw in the dream on the wooden board, and then ordered the group of courtiers to go to the temple immediately.
The man in the painting is dressed in burlap cloth, with ropes on his arms and arms, and a little hunched over his back, but a pair of eyes are shining, revealing wisdom and talent.
After accepting this special task assigned by Wu Ding, the Qunchen searched all over the capital, and there was not even a shadow of this sage. Everyone went to all parts of the country to look for it, but there was still no clue.
Later, the scope of the search was expanded, and a slave named "Shu" was finally found in Fu Yan in the North Sea.
As soon as Wu Ding saw "Speak", he said that he was exactly the same as the Heavenly Emperor recommended to him in his dream, so he talked to him with great interest.
After some exchanges, Wu Ding found that his talents were very much in line with his wishes. Wu Ding then announced to the Hundred Officials the appointment of Zuo Xiang.
The "History of Yin Benji" believes that Fu said that the original had no surname, only the name "said", because he was found here in Fu Yan, so he took "Fu" as his surname, called "Fu Said".
Later, Fu said that he assisted Yin Shang Wuding Anbang in governing the country, forming a glorious and prosperous era known in history as "Wuding Zhongxing", leaving behind the famous sentence of "knowing is not difficult, but it is difficult to do", and was revered as "saint".
Is this kind of superiority full of mystery? Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
It turned out that when Wu Ding had not yet ascended the throne, he lived in the countryside for many years, made many low-class commoners, and made friends with some slaves.
Fu said that he was a friend of Wu Ding's humble origins when he was exiled to the countryside.
In a hierarchical slave society, even if you are a monarch, it is impossible to reuse a slave.
Therefore, Wu Ding used the excuse of seeing the Emperor of Heaven in his dream to recommend a virtuous minister to himself, and pushed Fu Shuo, who was born of a slave, to an important position as prime minister. In that era of superstition, the slave-owning nobles did not dare to go against The Will of Heaven even if they were dissatisfied with this decision of the monarch.
