The gentry first appeared in the state of Jin in Jin Xiangong's time. At that time, out of distrust of the public, Jin Xiangong hired a large number of doctors with different surnames. As an external force, the gentry was highly valued by Jin Xiangong. Zhou Shi intended to devote himself to the public. In the eighth year of Jin Xiangong (669 BC), he destroyed the Huanzhuang clan in Juyi. At the same time, in order to prevent foreign interference and suppress its old capital, Quwo, Jin Xiangong appointed it as Sikong and expanded Jiangdu office.
Scholars also played an important role in the process of Jin Xiangong's national subjugation and seizure of the city. For example, before publicly proposing to eliminate Di Guo, he used Uncle Xi's words to dispel Jin Xiangong's concerns, thus successfully seeking to eliminate Di Guo. And cutting Guo in the 19th year (658 BC) was also his advice. Don't crusade when Guo was still strong, but find the right time to kill him at one fell swoop. Dedicated to the public, listen to him. Later, under the plan of Xun's fake felling of Guo, Guo was finally eliminated.
In addition, Shi, as the protector of the prince, also played an important role at that time. He has repeatedly opposed Jin Xiangong's measures to abandon the old and establish the new. As early as when Ji Gong released the Third Childe and asked him to build a city for him, his attitude was very negative. Moreover, he is also very pragmatic, because he knows that once Gong Xian has this idea, it will be difficult to change it. It is better to prepare for the prince in advance than to argue needlessly. Li Ji wanted her son to be a prince, and she was afraid of the protection of scholars, so she didn't have time to do it. After Shi's death, he soon alienated the prince's teacher Rick and designed the prince to commit suicide.
Contemporary with the scholar, there is also a doctor named Du Yuankuan, who may also be a descendant of Uncle Du Ji. Because the scholar inherited the status of a scholar, Du Yuankuan had to set up another portal, but he still took Du as his surname. Du Yuankuan is the teacher of the prince, which may also explain why the scholar prefers the prince. However, unlike Shi's resourcefulness, Du Yuankuan is a veritable teacher. His thoughts are very conservative, and his attitude has a great influence on the fate of the prince.
At the last moment in Shen Sheng, Du Yuankuan was killed by the sacrificial officer. Before he died, he sent someone to express his opinions to the Prince, telling him to abide by the principles that he should abide by as a human minister and the son of man, so that the Prince dismissed the idea of fleeing. Finally, the prince listened to his words and waited for his father's forgiveness in Quwo City until he finally committed suicide in despair.
The scholar's family showed little performance from the late dedication period to the Wengong period, but it was only in the Wengong period that the scholar's son Shigu rose suddenly in black and pink. In the third year (625 BC), Xianggong, the representative of Shigu in the State of Jin, met with the monarchs of Lu, Song, Chen and Zheng in Chuilong (northeast of Xingyang, Henan) to discuss the invasion of the State of Jin by Wei, which was the first time that ministers met monarchs in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The performance of the sergeant hub in this alliance is quite decent, so it was commended by Spring and Autumn Annals. He has a close relationship with Duke Xiang of Jin. In the seventh year of Xianggong (62 BC1), Duke Xiang of Jin wanted to make an exception and promote Shigu, who had never been an official of the Qing Dynasty, as the marshal of the Chinese army. If this personnel arrangement can be successful, Shigu is likely to become Ren Zhengqing, the fourth person in Jin State.
But the problem is that Scott's energy is so great that the monarch can do nothing about this kind of appointment and dismissal. He can only make his ex-son Xianke, who lives first and then lives, reject this proposal, and let Sheguye's young fox become the new ruling, while Ishiguro did not even make the list of six cabinet members. Zhao Dun, a yellow-tongued child, not only seized his position, but also a rebellious mood gradually rose in Shigu's heart.
So in the third year of Jin Linggong (6 18 BC), Shigu and four frustrated doctors launched a military operation against Zhao Dun, killing Zhao Dun's staunch ally, Xianke. And Zhao Dun quickly fought back. On March 28th of that year, he caught the gang. Shigu, filled with grief and indignation, died at the hands of Zhao Dun, who was young but had great means.
After the center, there are three branches. Most of them were inherited by the eldest son, that is, his younger brother Cheng Boshique, but Shique and his successor Mu Ziyi did not participate in military and political affairs, and their deeds were not recorded in detail in historical materials.
When he arrived in Duke Jing of Jin, Shi Wozhuo, the eldest son of Shi (Shizhen and Shizhenbo), began to appear frequently in history books. The earliest time was the three-year war in Thailand. The commander-in-chief Xun was responsible for the defeat and took the initiative to ask the monarch to die. He wanted to kill Xun to calm the public's anger, but Shi Wozhuo persuaded him to give up the idea.
Shi Wuzhuo should have inherited the position of judge, so he has a great say in dealing with Xun's problems. He said: "The Jin army won a great victory in Chengpu World War I, but Jin Wengong was still worried, because he was still a minister, and the State of Jin could not sit back and relax. Later, when I heard that Yu Zi committed suicide, Wen Gong was overjoyed. Defeating Chu first on the battlefield, and then killing a country's ruling, is equivalent to losing to Jin twice. Since then, two generations of Chu kings have been unable to compete with gold. Now our failure is a warning from heaven. If you kill Xun again, it means that Chu will win again. I'm afraid we can't compete with Chu for a long time. "
Xun Fulin avoided death, so he made compensation and began to clean up Sidi. In the next three years, he cleared several powerful Xidi tribes and won a huge development space for the State of Jin. Duke Jing of Jin remembered what Shi Wuzhuo said in those years and said with emotion, "If you hadn't dissuaded me in those years, I'm afraid I would have lost such a capable official as Xun, and there would be no such a large piece of land as today." In great joy, Guayan County (Xiaoyi, Shanxi Province) was awarded to Shi Wozhuo in recognition of his contribution.
Shi Wozhuo's second story was in the thirteenth year (587 BC), and it was about Zhao. It is said that Zhao and his niece committed adultery, which caused an uproar, and Ying Zhao was also worried. Thinking about it day and night, Zhao Ying dreamed of an angel at night and said to him, "As long as you are willing to sacrifice for me, I can keep you safe."
Zhao Ying woke up in a trance, and some of them were really not sure, so she sent someone to ask Shi Wozhuo. Shi Wozhuo probably heard about Zhao's scandal and disdainfully said to him, "I have never heard of such a thing." But having said this, Shi Wuzhuo felt inappropriate. He turned to the bearer and said, "The gods will only bring blessings to the kind, but as for the adulterer, I'm afraid it will only bring him disaster. Impunity is a blessing. Even if you sacrifice this angel, you may have to run away. " Later, it turned out that Zhao Ying was rushed to Qi by her two brothers on the second day of offering sacrifices to angels.
The third thing was that in the fourteenth year (586 BC), Zheng mourned the Chu-Han rebellion and went to the state of Jin to appear before him in person. According to courtship etiquette formulated by governors, courtship monarchs or envoys need to award jade to the monarch in the host country, and the ceremony of awarding jade should be held between nave and Japan. In the outer hall east of Dongpu, Duke Ai of Zheng couldn't wait to award the imperial seal to Duke Jing of Jin, which was equivalent to equating himself with the lower nobility.
When Shi Wuzhuo saw it, he sighed, "Zheng Bo has no respect for himself, his eyes are erratic, he walks in a panic, and he is worried when sitting in his seat. I'm afraid he won't live long? " In less than half a year, Zheng died.
From these examples, Schwartz seems to be a legendary prophet. Confucius' so-called "listening to his words and observing his deeds" is actually a way of judgment of contemporary people. When a person speaks and does things, he can abide by etiquette and social values, so it is easy to be accepted. On the contrary, if you don't abide by the etiquette norms and act arbitrarily, it will violate the social bottom line and be easily denounced. Like Zheng's loss of the Duke, he lost his sense of proportion because of panic, and met too many omissions in Jin Jun's etiquette, which just showed that his majesty was not enough, or that he lacked support.
When it comes to mourning the Duke of Jin, mourning is recognized as a scholar, handsome and knowledgeable, preaching and teaching to solve doubts. "That is to say, he follows the old adage and is knowledgeable, and can widely use his talents in culture and education. Therefore, when appointing a hundred officials, Shi Wozhuo should be appointed as a great master, so that he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of perfecting the etiquette of the national criminal law.
After the scholar, there are weak scholars, posthumous title is the Zhuang, and the funeral period is the judicial department. After ten years of mourning, the state of Song caught fire, and Duke Mourn of Jin asked him about the relationship between fire and heaven. Wei Shi is not superstitious about the relationship between heaven and the decline of a country, but believes that the most important thing for a country to prosper is human nature. In the eleventh year of mourning for the Duke, the King of Qi joined the League, and his teacher Gao Hou helped him meet Li Zhong. Gao Hou's attitude is very disrespectful, so he predicted that Gao Hou might not come to a good end.
As parents of judges' families, they should be familiar with laws and regulations, but their weakness is incomparable to their predecessors. After ten years of mourning, the allied forces crusaded against Zheng, who had to make peace with Jin. When we were playing Alliance, the book full of inequality was written by Shiwei. In ten years, Zheng invaded Chen without permission from the State of Jin. After winning, Zi Chan went to the State of Jin to offer prisoners, and the State of Jin sent scholars to ask. However, after chatting with Zi Chan several times, Zi Chan's sharp words left him speechless. Wu Zhao, who was in power at that time, had to accept prisoners of war according to the meaning of Zi chan.
The role of the weak is roughly equivalent to the counselor of the monarch. When the monarch is powerful, he can still master some power, but when the monarch loses power, it is difficult to make a difference. There are shortcomings after weakness, and posthumous title is a writer. There is also a scholar-Fu, whose identity is unknown. In the fourth year of Jin Ai, Sima Jiangwei of Zhongjun was promoted to Qing Dynasty, and later Yan Zhang Lao moved to Zhongjun Sima. After Yan's position was vacant, Shi Fu was appointed as Hou Yan. I'm afraid it is also the general trend that a large number of scholars gradually weakened after being weak and became vassals of the small Sect that rose later.
In addition to the bulk, there is also a small sect of Gong, represented by Gong Shuo. Gong Shuo should also be a pivotal figure in the political arena of Jin State in the historical period of his life, but there are not many stories about him. In the 11th year of Jin Linggong (6 10 BC), the state of Jin suspected that Zheng was secretly connected with Chu, and Zheng sent his son to explain. Then Gong Shuo went to negotiate with Zheng on behalf of the State of Jin, and finally agreed that the two sons-in-law of the State of Jin would exchange Zheng for hostages in order to build mutual trust. In the Battle of Tai in the third year of Emperor Jin Jing (597 BC), the doctors of the upper army, Gong Shuo and Han Chuan, were appointed by the literati association to set up seven ambushes in front of Aoshan Mountain to ensure a smooth retreat when the upper army was defeated.
In the 11th year of King Jing (589 BC), the State of Jin defeated the State of Qi in the pommel horse battle. At the end of the year, King Jin sent Gong Shuo to present a trophy to Zhou Wang. King Ding of Zhou believed that Qi was not a Rong Di, but a country of nephews and uncles. The State of Jin asked the State of Qi for help on the orders of the king, and only needed to report the results. It's not polite to give trophies. Moreover, Gong Shuo sent by the State of Jin was neither a minister of the State of Jin nor held any position in the royal family. The son of heaven had no reason to receive a doctor from a vassal state, so he refused to receive it.
Gong Shuo didn't understand royal etiquette and couldn't cope with the censure of the emperor. However, the royal family did not dare to offend the State of Jin after all, so the king decided to let the three princes of the royal family receive Gong Shuo with grand etiquette. After the formal ceremony, King Ding of Zhou hosted a special banquet for Gong Shuo and gave it to him privately, explaining that I didn't look down on you, but out of the need of etiquette. What I received from you should not be recorded in the history books.
The following year, the hero of the battle of enjoying the saddle in the state of Jin established the system of twelve ministers in six armies, and Gong Shuo joined the ranks of twelve ministers as a new general, ranking ninth in the cabinet. This is the peak of Gong Shuo's career, but it is also his last appearance in historical materials. Since then, there has been no record of Gong Shuo's participation in internal and external affairs, nor has it appeared in the new cabinet composed of two new armies. The Gong family may have flourished in him all his life and then declined.
