Chapter 95 Chu and Zhou 2
"However, when King Li was in the process of King Li, the people of Chu went to the King again. [This chapter was first released - Ai-You-Sheng-Novel Network, please remember the URL]" Meng Hui quickly interrupted.
"So what if you leave the king's name? Can this prove that Chu is a minister of the Zhou clan?" Hui got Jin asked, but Meng Hui did not answer. "After King Zhao attacked Chu, Chu was no longer a minister of the Zhou clan, so when Duke Huan of Qi attacked Chu, Guan Zhong asked the crime: "You don't have the tribute to you, and the king's sacrifices are not shared, and you can't shrink the wine. I am a vanguard. King Zhao went south and did not return. I am a vanguard. If the State of Chu did not pay tribute and submit to the minister, what would the people of Qi be guilty?"
Hui got the gold medal and said that Duke Huan of Qi Guan Zhong was fine. When he talked about Duke Huan of Qi Guan Zhong, a few people over there shouted, "Then Zhaoling Alliance..."
"Zhaoling and the alliance will be held, and the State of Chu will attend the meeting." This time, Dongye Gu spoke personally. "The State of Chu vowed to pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty in the future. Is this a clear proof that Chu was a minister of the Zhou Dynasty?!"
"Haha..." Xiong Jing's heart was shocked, Hui Dejin laughed again, and he nodded: "There is indeed such a alliance, but..."
"How?" Higashinogu looked at him nervously, and the ministers in the court also looked at him nervously.
"Xian Kingdom was originally tribute to the State of Chu. When the king of Xian Kingdom saw that Chu was afraid of the army of the princes, he also joined forces with the princes in Zhaoling, and even paid tribute to the Zhou Dynasty, so he did not pay tribute to the State of Chu. King Cheng of Chu was furious when he heard about it. Douzi led his army to destroy the State of Xian Kingdom, and the war broke out again." Hui got Jin Dao. "Duke Wen of Zheng did not ally with Shouzhi, and he was close to Chu, so Duke Huan of Qi attacked him. Duke Wen of Zheng asked Chu to attack the State of Chu quickly, and Chu quickly attacked the State of Qi's alliance.
Zhaoling did have a letter of alliance, but it was not done. At this time, the Zhou Dynasty had declined, and the overlord Duke Huan of Qi acted on behalf of the Emperor of Zhou. Chu and Qi attacked each other, and even attacked Zhou. When Duke Huan of Qi died, the war was not over, and the Chu State had not yet joined the princes again. How could it be said that Zhaoling's letter of alliance was a clear proof of Chu State's minister of Zhou?"
"How can you solve the ruler of King Zhuang of Chu?" Lan She, who was a master of Zhu Ao, interjected.
"The King Zhuang was in the prime of the throne, and the Emperor Zhou ordered the princes and grandsons to have a feast for a feast. It was not an alliance, and there was no alliance letter." At this point, Hui Dejin laughed again. He felt that the Confucian scholars were already poor, and in order to give up completely, he sent him on his last journey.
"During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, the people of Qi acted on behalf of the Zhou emperor, and there was still a Zhaoling alliance in Chu and Zhou. After Duke Huan of Qi, the people of Jin acted on behalf of the Zhou emperor. After a hundred years of attacks, the two subsequent alliances were suspended. Once in the seventh year of King Jian of Zhou, the Chu and Jin alliance were in Song State, and the book said:
'In Jin and Chu, there is no match for the army, and they like and dislike it, and they are both in harmony with disasters and dangers, and they are prepared to save the evil and disasters. If it is harmful to Chu, then Jin attack it; in Jin, Chu is the same. When they are in Jin, there is no road blockage; if they plan to make trouble, they will fight against the unintentional court. With this alliance of Yu, the Ming gods will slap it, so that their troops will fall and their troops will not be defeated."
"The King's clarification," Hui Dejin bowed to Xiong Jing at this time, "The people of Jin acted on behalf of the Zhou emperor. This alliance letter was an alliance between the Chu State and the Zhou Dynasty to stop the war, not an alliance between the ministers and the ministers. The above only said no one to join the army, and there was no other words.
However, at that time, the rift between Chu and Jin was difficult to eliminate, and Sima Zi said, "If the enemy is profitable, then advance, what kind of alliance will be there?" The war broke out again in the third year of the alliance. It was not until the 26th year of King Ling of Zhou that the two countries once again joined the princes at the Mengmen of the Song State. This alliance letter is no different from the previous alliance, but there are many words "Jin, Chu will meet each other."
What does this mean? This word means that the princes of Jin should pay tribute to Chu, and the princes of Chu should also pay tribute to Jin. In the world, only Qi, Qin did not pay tribute. Jin acted on behalf of the Zhou emperor, and the alliance letter showed that the Chu State was equal to the Zhou emperor and was evenly matched.
The Mengmen League was not changed until the three-part Jin State. Zhou's family had already died, and the alliance between Chu and Zhou State was this alliance. Chu was not a minister of Zhou State. After the Mengmen League, Chu and Zhou State competed with each other and divided the world. The three families divided Jin, and the Tian family still needed the Emperor of Zhou to agree to it. Chu and Zhou State were on par with the Emperor of Zhou. The King of Chu was abolished and established and never asked the Emperor of Zhou to agree to it."
"This is a false statement!" Kong Qi, a man who was not a court official, couldn't help but refute. Hui Dejin looked at him, not knowing who he was. "In the past, the ancestor of Chu State, Yuxiongzi served King Wen, and later King Cheng appointed Xiong Yi as a viscount. It was not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Shi was the father of the Chu people. King Zhao attacked Chu, just like a king and a father blamed his son. Even though he beat him up, the father and son were still father and son. Why do you say that the fifty miles of fiefdom was captured by the Chu army?"
"Are you a person from Lu?" All the court officials looked at Kong Feng, because he called the name of the ancestors of the Chu people directly, and Hui got the gold and asked calmly.
"So what about the people of Lu?" Kong Feng shouted, not afraid of the Chu Chen, who was staring at him.
"The people of Lu thoughts." Hui Dejin shook his head. "The people of Chu never think this way."
"What did the Chu people think?" This time it was not Kong Feng, but Song Yi with him.
"Who are you?" Hui Dejin looked at Song Yi.
"Song Yi, the son of the Grand Tutor." Although Song Yi was not as rude as Kong Feng, he was afraid of the court officials' gaze.
"Since he is the son of the Song Grand Tutor..." Hui Dejin stretched his tone, "Have you ever found the word filial piety in Chuci?"
"The word "filial piety?" Song Yi was suspicious and did not understand why, so Xiong Jing and the court officials were also confused.
"In the past, Confucius was in Chu, and Ye Gong said to Confucius, "If my party has a straight bow, his father will rush the sheep and his son will prove it." Confucius said, "The straight bow of my party is different from this. The father hides his son and his son hides his father, and he is in the middle."
What Mr. Ye said was a man from Chu. The father of the Chu man stole the sheep and his son proved it when he saw it. What Confucius said was a man from Lu. The father of the Lu man stole the sheep and his son was his hidden; the son stole the sheep and his father was his hidden.
The Chu people were straightforward, while the Lu people were pure filial. Therefore, when they searched through the Chu Ci, they did not see a single word filial, but had eighty-seven words of loyalty. Even if King Zhao of Zhou was the biological father of the Chu people, he was no longer the father of the Chu people. This custom of Chu is not the custom of Lu. King Zhao attacked Chu in Chu and fought in Lu, but did he fight in Lu, how could he use the filial piety of the Lu people to replace the straightforwardness of the Chu people with the filial piety of the Lu people?"
"Sir, do you mean that the Chu people have no monarch or father?" Kong Feng didn't know how to refute, so he could only criticize the Chu people with no monarch or father.
"I have said that Chu's etiquette has no king or father." Xiong Jing felt that it could come to an end. "However, Chu people are straight. They are good to Chu people, and Chu people are also good to them; they are evil to Chu people, and they are also evil to them. They have no ethics, but they have personal feelings. The Chu people do not hide for their fathers, and they do not tell the traitors like Qin people to seek rewards, but they dare not contempt the spirit of the sky.
In other words, people from Lu have kings and fathers, and they must serve the kings and fathers by restraining themselves and returning to courtesy. Even if they steal and do evil, they must submit to their help as ministers. People from Chu have kings and fathers, but the kings and fathers of Chu are not ordinary people in the world, but gods of heaven and earth.
Taiyi, the Grand Secretary’s Death, the Grand Secretary’s Disaster, is the father and brother of my Chu people; Shaosi Ming, Mrs. Xiang is the mother and mother of my Chu people. The Chu people acted, and did not follow the king and father, but only followed the gods." Xiong Jing looked at Dongye Gu and others, "I have said that if the Lu people don't want to, they can stand on their own; if the Song people don't want to, they can stand on their own..."
"Please stand by myself!" Before Xiong Jing's words fell, Dongye Gu shouted with his eyes flashing.
Higashino Gu asked for the independent court to make a noise immediately. Xiong Jing ignored the noise and replied clearly: "Yes."
