Tai Shi Boyang predicted the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty 10 years in advance, Zheng Guo's hegemony 50 years in advance, and the turbulent pattern of the world 500 years in advance.
I don't understand, a little Taishi, how can he be so powerful?
The story of everything begins with an earthquake.
It was 780 BC, the second year that King You of Zhou had just succeeded to the throne. That year was a year that did not stop, and an earthquake occurred in the western Zhou capital of Hojing.
"Great King, the Qishan Shouchen has something important to play!"
"Announce!"
"King! Qishan, the ancestral mountain of my great week, there was an earthquake. On the same day, the three major rivers of Jingshui, Yellow River and Luoshui all stopped flowing. ”
"Landslide earthquake, this is all small things, tell me what to do?" Is this worth myself? ”
At this time, King Zhou You had just ascended the throne, at the top of the entire national food chain, and he was addicted to wine every day and was very busy. Although the natural disaster was great, it would not let his enjoyment be discounted, so the Qishan shouchen was quickly driven away by him.
However, this earthquake made Taishi Boyang of Western Zhou unable to sit still. He knew that after the natural disaster, if the king did not pay attention, it was likely to lead to a popular uprising. The collapse of the Qishan Mountains, the interruption of Luoshui, Jingshui and the Yellow River means that there is no harvest in the surrounding thousands of miles of fertile fields, and countless Li people have no water to drink and no food to eat.
Tai Shi Boyang wanted to come and go, and he went to find his good friend Uncle Zhao.
"Brother Zhao, these days, I am extremely worried. Tell the king that he has appointed Father Yu Shi and will not listen to me, so I can only tell you! ”
"Brother Boyang, come!"
"At that time, the Yishui and Luoshui rivers stopped flowing, and the Xia Dynasty perished; the Yellow River dried up and the Shang Dynasty perished. And now..."
"So, how many years do I have to do in my big week?"
"With the legacy of the previous king, up to 10 years."
Ten years later, King Youwang of Zhou was killed by Inuyasha and Western Zhou perished.
Let's talk about Zheng Bo. Zheng Bo was the uncle of King Youwang of Zhou, and was appointed by King Youwang of Zhou as a secretary of state to take charge of the civil service, which was equivalent to the later cabinet minister and Hubu Shangshu.
Zheng Bo is a good friend of Tai Shi Boyang, and the two talk about everything.
Although Zheng Bo was a high official, he was not able to defeat Father Yu Shi, who controlled the government and acted irresponsibly, and the key was that King You of Zhou only listened to Father Yu Shi.
After the Qishan earthquake and the interruption of the sanshui flow, the man-made disaster caused by Yu Shi's father was aggravated, and although Zheng Bo was busy all day and tried his best to take measures, he was unable to return to heaven.
But he was really not willing to let his family and the common people go to the funeral, and he remembered the warning that Tai Shi Boyang had issued in the second year of his nephew's succession, when there was an earthquake. Zheng Bo decided to visit the wise man.
"I want to move the whole country south to avoid the disaster of the country. Please tai shi gong point out! ”
"No, no, no, think again."
Zheng Bowan did not expect that his question actually opened a prophecy about the later 500-year historical drama. Relying on his unfathomable wisdom, Tai Shi Boyang made shocking predictions about the future with precision, and these predictions were verified one by one in the future.
Tai Shi Boyang talked nonchalantly, and he first analyzed the situation of the four princes and barbarians one by one for Zheng Bo, and denied Zheng Bo's idea of migrating to the south. Because if the Chu state in the south prospers in the future, it will certainly be a strong neighbor. Therefore, to stay away from the Chu Kingdom, the farther away the better.
"I thought you could move to the Xingyang area." You will have two neighboring countries, one is the Kingdom of Qi and the other is the Kingdom of Qi (pronounced fast). They are all small countries, and the monarchs are particularly greedy for money, and they are very easy to buy. Once the Zhou royal family changes, the monarchs of the State of Qi and the State of Qi will immediately betray the Zhou Dynasty, but do not be afraid. At that time, if you lead an army to attack these two countries in the name of the king of Qin, you will be able to easily destroy them, and the land of these two countries will become your land. If you can cultivate the people of De'an, your descendants will be able to guard this land, and no one can touch you. ”
"Will the royal family decline that week?"
"Being able to have the wisdom to embrace everything, to coordinate everything, to balance everything, this is and. But it is impossible to do this, only those who like to speak according to their own words, and it does not matter whether they are right or wrong; only those who can do things according to their own will, and whether their own intentions are wrong or not, that is the same. He is conforming to the way of heaven, and the same will destroy himself. Do you think Zhou Tianzi is with or with today? ”
"So you see, how many years of destiny will the Zhou royal family have in the future?"
"Now that the deposed queen and crown prince Yiusu fled back to the Shen kingdom, the king wanted to kill them, but the Shen Hou protected them. If the Great King really attacked shen guo, Shen Hou would unite with Xi Rong to defeat the great king. I don't guess in three years that we will see the demise of the Great Week. ”
"If the royal family declines, who among the princes can prosper?"
"The four kingdoms of Chu, Jin, Qin, and Qi."
Tai Shi Boyang said that these four princely states were located in the southern, northern, western, and eastern directions of the Central Plains, and they all faced the Central Plains and had their backs to the frontier. They can attack and retreat, and the frontier is their future development space. The Central Plains countries have little room for development and are bound to decline.
Later, in the next 500 years, Zheng Guo was indeed the first to become a small hegemon, the Central Plains states declined one after another, and the Jin, Chu, Qi, and Qin all prospered one by one, and were mentioned by Taishi Boyang.
How could Tai Shi Boyang be so powerful?
First of all, Tai Shi Boyang has effective information in the world. The Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty was the head of the historical officials and the historical officials, in charge of drafting documents, ordering the princes and qing masters, recording historical events, and also managing the classics, calendars, and sacrifices, it can be said that the information lifeblood of the country is in his hands.
Secondly, Tai Shi Boyang's family origins. The official position of Taishi was passed down from father to son within the family. Generation after generation of Taishi has taken the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao and established a destiny for the people as their mission, they are not afraid of royal power, and always maintain independent thinking, so they have insight and accurate foresight that ordinary people simply cannot reach.
Third, reading history makes one wise. There is nothing new under the sun, to understand history is to understand human nature, Tai Shi Boyang is to read history in the process of reading history and writing history, predicting history.
Unfortunately, the only Taishi Boyang who could accurately predict the situation in the world at that time and the historical trend of more than five hundred years after his death was not reused by King Zhou You, and did not leave too many traces. But even so, with only the claws of slush and mud, this great wise man can still stand in the annals of history.
Compared with him, even Zhuge Liang, who later "did not come out of the woods and set the world in three parts", could not be disobeyed.
