It is said that whether it is the millennium beauty talk of Yi Yin taking the initiative to return to The Government of Taijia, or the inspirational story of Taijia sneaking out of the Tong Palace to kill Yi Yin's restoration, in short, after Taijia returned to the throne, he really worked diligently and loved the people, obeyed the Tang Law, and the orderly governance of the world became a generation of Ming Jun, Taijia reigned for 23 years, passed on to Zi Wodin, Wodin reigned for 29 years, passed on to Brother Taigeng, Tai Geng reigned for 25 years, passed on to Zi Xiaojia, Xiao Jia reigned for 17 years and died of illness, passed on to Xiao Jia Yong!
Lineage table of the Shang Dynasty
The Shang Dynasty from the beginning of Shang Tang to Yong has been a hundred years, successive kings have been able to be frugal and love the people, to rule the country with virtue, so the Shang Dynasty can be said to be a strong national strength, the country is safe, such a long period of peaceful development is really rare, but people have no far-reaching worries must have near-term worries, stable days are too long, gradually let the Shang Dynasty kings lose the spirit of forge ahead, so all kinds of contradictions finally began to erupt when Yong had succeeded to the throne, Yong has abandoned political affairs, aggravated labor, caused the dissatisfaction of princes, Fang Guo and the people, Some princes even stopped paying tribute and congratulations to the Shang Dynasty. Historical records: Yin Dao declined, and the princes or did not arrive
Yong had reigned for twelve years, and was passed down to his younger brother Tai Peng, who was the lord of Zhongxing in the history of the Shang Dynasty.
Tai Peng
Tai Peng succeeded to the throne, and his brother Yong had blindly pursued pleasure, not diligent in state politics, eating, drinking and playing in the mountains and rivers, the crisis of the Shang Dynasty further deepened, and by the 7th year, a mulberry tree grew in the courtyard of Tai Peng's palace, and under the mulberry tree grew a valley tree, which grew very large in seven days. Tai Peng was very frightened and thought it was an ominous omen.
Yi Yin's descendant minister Yi Zhi saw the decline of the Shang Dynasty, so he used this matter to say: "The minister has heard that the yokai are not victorious, probably because the king has something improper in governing the government, so there are yokai." If good governance cultivates virtue and governs the people with virtue, we will naturally be free from evil. ”
Listening to Yi Zhi say this, he thought that his previous absurd behavior was very reasonable, so he promoted Yi Zhi to help him govern the country
Tai Peng carried out reforms from two aspects: First: Abide by the Tang Law and rule the country with virtue Second: Reform the rule of officials, refine the official system, and divide it into internal service officials and external service officials, which are the Wang Qi region directly ruled by the Shang Dynasty, and the outer service is the area under the jurisdiction of Bang Bo, which is divided into Hou, Dian, Male, and Wei
It was precisely because Tai Peng listened to Yi Zhi's advice and continued to forge ahead, and the Shang Dynasty once again showed a thriving atmosphere. After some time, the crazy long tree died, and Tai Peng was very happy.
Izhi said: This is the virtue of the king, the blessing given by heaven. In order to repay the blessings of the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, Tai Peng specially held a solemn ceremony to sacrifice the mountains and rivers. When the princes of various places heard about it, they came to worship one after another. It is said that the first to pay tribute were the Western SaiJong tribes. Tai Peng was very happy, and also sent a courtier named Wang Meng as an envoy, leading the congren, carrying the specialties and bronzes of the Central Plains to the tribes of Xirong to offer condolences.
Because Tai Peng and Yi Zhi ruled the country well, not only Xi Rong, but also Jiuyi, who had often rebelled in the past, also paid tribute to the dynasty
Under the administration of Tai Peng, the kingdoms of the Shang Dynasty came to the dynasty, and there was a flourishing atmosphere in the field, and Tai Wu thought that this was all the credit of Yi Zhi, so he praised Yi Zhi in the ancestral temple, and did not treat Yi Zhi as a courtier, Yi Zhi Qian rang and said: Chen He De He Neng, this is all the great king's wisdom and pearls, the subject is willing to die to reimburse the king's knowledge of the grace, the great merchant prospered in the hands of the king, this is the reason for the sage of the king! The minister wrote a document of "Original Destiny" to the king, hoping that the king would continue to work hard and govern with the royal way of Xia Yu and Shang Tang, so that my great merchant would be even stronger!
Tai Peng reigned for 75 years, becoming the longest reigning emperor of the Shang Dynasty! After his death, he was known as Emperor Zhongzong by later generations, and his mausoleum was located 15 kilometers southwest of the city of Huang County in Henan Province, and is the only surviving tomb of a Shang king in China. His mausoleum is far away from the Shang King, presumably Tai Peng died in the process of touring
