Ying Jieyan and Yuan Miao originally came to question the young emperor who left the city without authorization yesterday, but they couldn't resist the things given by the young emperor were so attractive that they could not speak loudly. However, they also persuaded him a few words. Of course, Zhao Bing also agreed seriously, but everyone knew that this was not a sure thing. As for whether he would commit another crime in the future, no one knew.

After saying this, Yuan Miao knew that His Majesty had collected many old things from the temple, so he was no longer calm. Seeing that the little emperor repeatedly promised that he would not go out without permission, he would carry a stick and hold the boxing scriptures to check and count it. Ying Jieyan was more reserved than him. At this moment, he had already calmed down. In fact, he had something to ask.

"Your Majesty, our army has won consecutive victories, but recently there have been rumors in the city, saying that the enemy's army gathered in all directions, and it is difficult for the royal army to defend for a long time, so it may be necessary to withdraw its troops back to Qiong. There are also rumors that Kublai Khan heard that the Pu thief was killed, and Yan ordered the people of Quanzhou to be slaughtered after the city was broken, so people were in panic. I think that the people should be given the order to calm the people and investigate and create rumors. Those who spread rumors should face the ears and stabilize the hearts of the military and civilians!" Ying Jieyan told.

"Sir, I know that this is not a rumor. The fact is that, we have already decided to eliminate the thieves in this battle and raise money and food. Now the purpose is basically achieved. After the materials are transported, we will withdraw our troops." Zhao Bing pondered for a moment and said, of course he knew the source of these rumors. He was the initiator, and of course he could not investigate himself.

"Haha, I understand that this is the case, but I am worried that the meticulous work lurking in the city will take the opportunity to cause trouble, and thus the cooperation with the enemy outside the city is not conducive to us." Ying Jieyan had guessed that this matter was probably commanded by His Majesty behind the scenes, and now he did not have any surprises after hearing about it, and he was unwilling to investigate the matter. He could conclude that it was the news that His Majesty deliberately sent people to make a terrifying atmosphere, but he also saw through it clearly and did not say it out loud, otherwise wouldn't His Majesty not come to Taiwan?

"Hehe, if the people of Quanzhou are worried about the Tartars massacre, they can follow the army to retreat to Qiongzhou. Anyway, the land is vast and sparse, so there is no need to worry about not being able to settle down if they go to hundreds of thousands of people!" Zhao Bing said with a smile without saying anything.

"Your Majesty's words are true. Whether it is restoration of the country or gaining a foothold in Qiongzhou, we urgently need to replenish a large population, but this kind of behavior is inappropriate, which can easily cause misunderstandings from the people, saying that we are taking advantage of the situation and are inappropriate in benevolence and righteousness!" Ying Jieyan said.

"Sir, you already have a plan that can kill two birds with one stone!" Zhao Bing's eyes lit up after hearing this. Of course, he also wanted to be both introvert and face, but he had no good intentions and had to come up with such a bad idea.

"Do your Majesty know Duke Zhou?" Ying Jieyan asked, stroking his beard.

"Duke Zhou... the Duke Zhou in the dream interpretation of Duke Zhou?" Zhao Bing really knew Duke Zhou, but the first thing he thought of was Duke Zhou's rituals, which was a euphemism about sexual relations in modern Chinese, and it was a bit joking. But thinking that he was still a child, it was really hurt to say such sensitive words, so he quickly changed his words.

"Well, Your Majesty is right, but this is a work by later generations who pretended to be the name of Duke Zhou!" Ying Jieyan said with a nod, "What I said about Duke Zhou refers to the fourth son of King Wen of Zhou, the title of King Wu..."

This was the first time Zhao Bing heard that there were more than one Duke Zhou this time, but he didn't know why the old man used it as an introduction. He could only listen carefully and slowly figured out that he was really a character. Duke Zhou Ji Dan's mother was very powerful and gave birth to ten of their brothers in one go: Bo Yikao, King Wu, Guan Shuxian, Duke Zhou, Shudu, Cai Shudu, Shuzhendu, Cheng Shuwu, Shuchu, Huo Shuchu, Kang Shufeng, and Ran Jizai.

Duke Zhou ranked fourth, and this Siye Ji was very good at using power and strategy, but also well-versed in military affairs and versatile. He once proposed to "respect virtue and protect the people", make rituals and music, and establish rules and regulations. His remarks were found in the "Shangshu", such as "Jin Shu" and "Wuyi". Duke Zhou also contributed to the creation of the Book of Changes. So he later became a top politician, a Confucian Yuansheng, and a senior idol of Confucius, with many fans and countless fans.

But it is not easy to grow a big politician. The time, place, people and all kinds of conditions must be matched. There are good seedlings and good land, otherwise, don’t expect any good harvest. There are golden phoenixes flying out of the chicken coop, but not many, but more of them are small hens flying out of the chicken coop. This is also a social and historical law, and it is not transferred by human will. Just so happen, Duke Zhou has been a good seedling since he was a child, and has grown on a fertile soil, so that he grew into a towering tree and created miracles.

How did his family get rich? Basically, it depends on a card of benevolence and morality. Recalling, from the third generation ancestor Gu Gong Danfu, who was the founder of the Western Zhou Dynasty, our Ji family played the moral card very well. How difficult was the third generation ancestor Danfu at that time! It was so poor that it was so loud. At that time, the Western Zhou Dynasty was in Bindi, probably in today's Binxian County and Xunyi County in Shaanxi Province, it was just a small country in the west. Danfu was the direct descendant of Hou Ji and was good at farming, so he took everyone to farm and make a living to repair the earth.

Dan's father was best at charitable politics and loved the people as much as his son. Every year when he came to his feet, he would give them food to the people. He would not eat too much, and he would strictly prevent corruption and waste. The people were convinced and believed that following such a leader would have a future and happiness. Therefore, in history, it was said that Dan's father "accumulating virtue and righteousness, and all the people of the country loved it." But at that time, Dan's father and the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty guarded their evil neighbors and were bullied by their neighbors.

The neighbors were Rongdi, a minority. Sometimes they didn't even wear leaves and ran out naked, which affected the appearance of the city. They didn't know how to farm and made a living by robbery. Dan's father brought the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty. As soon as they put the grain into their pockets, the people of Rongdi came, carried the grain pockets and left, and did not even hit IOUs. This was like this every year. The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty were angry and wanted to fight with Rongdi. Dan's father knew that his own people were good at farming, and they were all laymen in fighting. If they fought with the barbaric Rongdi people, they would only suffer losses, and the food might be lost.

So I knocked off my teeth and swallowed blood, and endured it with a knife on the head of the word "Xin" and let it endure it! So, Dafa Dan took the people and fled away from Rongdi, and fled to the bottom of Qishan. It is what the Book of Songs said: "Du Gong, Dafa, came to the court to take the horse; led the Western Water Margin, as for Qixia." This time, Dafa Dan still played a moral card. When he fled, Dafa Dan told his people: My purpose is to serve the people. Now, we can fight to the death with the Rongdi robbers, but there will be heavy casualties. If Dafa Dan takes everyone to be angry, fight to the death, and play the gangsters, what good leader is? Is it still serving the people? I can't let everyone sacrifice, so I have to leave.

The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty continued to be moved, and tears filled the tears, supporting the elderly and the young, and fled with Dan's father. It was obvious that he had lost his achievements and escaped, but he could run away and moved the world and sent the people to the people. Later, Dan's father died, and it was Ji Li who ascended the throne, that is, Duke Zhou's grandfather, who still liked to play moral cards. Historical materials say that he "practices the ancient Duke's teachings and is committed to righteousness." He was kind to the people and gathered his hearts. At this time, the surrounding princes also began to submit to them.

When the regime was passed to King Wen Ji Chang, the moral card of the Western Zhou Dynasty was even better. Historically, he "followed the work of Houji, Gong Liu, Gu Gong and Ji Li's laws" and served the people wholeheartedly. He also paid great attention to improving his own quality, read and understand the truth, and respected the wise and the inferior. He would rather not eat or sleep than spend time to accompany the wise. In this way, senior talents such as Jiang Taigong, San Yisheng, Taidian, and Xin Jia surrendered to King Wen. This made the Western Zhou Dynasty more and more prosperous, and the name of morality became higher and higher. Recalling the three generations of ancestors, the successful experience of the Western Zhou Dynasty was actually four words: morality and benevolence.

In such a family, Zhou Gong Ji Dan also needed talent in addition to having good genes and good family traditions. According to historical records, Zhou Gong showed his talent as a politician in his early years. He was very smart and kind. He was just as old as a kindergartener, and he was like a young adult. He belonged to the precocious breed. In "Records of the Grand Historian", Sima Qian praised Zhou Gong for "Since King Wen was in his old age, Dan was filial and kind, and was different from his sons." That is to say, Zhou Gong was filial and kind since he was a child, intelligent and outstanding, and was very different from other brothers. This is unwilling!

You should know that Zhou Gong’s father, King Wen of Zhou, has good genes, strong body, and many wives. He is a record-breaking fierce man who gave birth to a child. According to the "Romance of the Gods", King Wen of Zhou had hundreds of sons, almost all of which were made by him. He personally brought his wives and concubines to work hard. Only the 100th son, the famous birdman with wings, who could fly, was adopted. Although this is the words of a novelist and is not worthy of trust, in fact, King Wen has many sons, and there are at least seventeen of them that can be verified by historical materials. It is unusual for Zhou Gong to be outstanding among so many children, which is really not an easy thing.

As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. It just so happened that Duke Zhou had a strong interest in politics since he was a child, and he enjoyed helping to guide the country and pacify the world, rather than holding on to evil spirits. Just thinking about going to the stage to embezzle and compete for the right to eat and mating. With this alone, Duke Zhou was a good seedling. Therefore, when King Wen of Zhou was in power, Duke Zhou had already made his mark and "helped King Wen" with his second brother King Wu Ji, becoming an important assistant to King Wen to promote Zhou.

We also said that the good seedling of Duke Zhou grew on good land, which is even more nonsense. Duke Zhou’s father, Ji Chang, was a generous prince of the Shang Dynasty and belonged to the second emperor. The material and cultural life in the family were at the first level at that time, with many learning opportunities and great people in contact with, which is not a problem. Just the special historical period he lived in, it was very rare. What historical period is it? The answer is: Social turmoil, dynasty changes. Good! Heroes have emerged since ancient times.

Of course, the opponent is ready-made - Emperor Zhou, Emperor Xin! In the late period of his reign, this boy was proud of his contributions, spent a lot of money to build a deer platform, build a wine pool, hang meat into a forest, build a luxurious palace garden, and lived a life of extravagance and desire, making the national treasury empty. He was stubborn and did not listen to the correct opinions. He formed opposition in the upper class, using tortures such as cannons and other tortures to suppress the people. He killed Bigan and imprisoned Jizi, fought every year, and lost people's hearts. When he was attacking the Dongyi, he did not pay attention to the prevention of the Western tribes, used troops for years, and his national strength was depleted. He also had to face the burden of how to deal with a large number of prisoners who had accumulated over time due to the long-term war.

At this moment, King Wen Ji Chang, on the basis of consolidating his territory, slowly accumulated anti-Shang power, won over the princes, and reused a god-level talent - Jiang Luwang, the familiar Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya, married a wife, broom star, rode the four-legged horse, and beat the god whip on his back, and was in charge of killing the generals and enthroning the gods. Their king and his ministers "conspired to cultivate virtue and devote themselves to the business and government", that is, they secretly implemented benevolent government, or used moral magic to win people's hearts, and took the opportunity to push down King Zhou of Shang.

As a result, King Wen of Zhou became more and more prestige, and when there were disputes between the princes, they all came to him to judge right and wrong, as if they were the boss of the martial arts. After careful preparation, King Wen of Zhou began to destroy the great cause of Shang. He first destroyed the Quanrong, stabilized the rear, and then destroyed the two small countries of Mi and Li, and then took the opportunity to destroy Chonghouhu and moved them to Fengdi, which was for Haojing, which is the northwest of Chang'an District, Xi'an. He destroyed one after another, and they were all under the banner of morality and benevolence. Therefore, Zhou's strength grew day by day.

At that time, how strong was King Wen? It was said in history that "there are two of the three parts of the world". With more people and larger territory, people's ambitions will naturally become greater. Naturally, they are unwilling to be inferior to others and stay in the barren northwest. Instead, they hope to wear dragon robes and live in the fertile land of the Central Plains. However, they must be famous when they go to the army, otherwise the reputation accumulated over several lifetimes will be lost.

However, King Zhou's prestige was also not low at that time. He was very skilled in distinguishing victories, was very sensitive to hearing and seeing things, was extremely capable, and was a fierce beast. After he succeeded to the throne, he established his capital in Yumo, and later changed Wuyi to Chaoge. Emperor Xin attached importance to agriculture and sericulture, developed social productivity, and had a strong national strength. He continued to use troops to the Dongyi, repel Dongyi and expanded the expansion of the Central Plains, and expanded the Shang Dynasty's power to the Jianghuai area. In particular, the victory in the fight against Xuyi, and expanded the Shang Dynasty's territory to the coastal areas of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian.
