    Author: Shi Yuchun

    After King Wu defeated Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty was basically established.  In addition to enfeoffing the same surname as princes, King Wu did not exterminate Yin, dig up their ancestral graves, and fight against their children He also entrusted the survivors of the Yin Dynasty to Wu Geng, the son of Yin Zhou, so that Wu Geng lived in the Yin Dynasty.  The status is equivalent to the princes of Zhou.  The inner purpose of King Wu's doing this, conjectures, is probably one of the reasons to appease the old people of Yin, and for the peace of mind and social peace of the newly established Da Zhou.  At the same time, the external manifestation of doing so is to show that King Wu is not the kind of ruthless character who wants to be sacrificed by others, and it also makes people in Yin and later generations feel that King Wu is "benevolent" in this regard.

    Although King Wu gave Wu Geng a fief and the people, he was still worried.  In order to be safe, King Wu placed his two younger brothers, Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai, by Wu Geng's side. On the surface, he asked these two to be Wu Geng's mentors and assistants.  own eyeliner.

    After King Wu died, the affairs of the Zhou Dynasty were controlled by King Wu's younger brother, the Duke of Zhou.  Seeing this in the eyes of Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai, who are also younger brothers of King Wu, they felt very uncomfortable.  Why is it that you are also a younger brother, and you, Ji Dan, can act as the king of Zhou and stand high above the court, so we have to circle around the son of the subjugated king?  To put it mildly, what kind of Wu Geng's "Fu Xiang" are we? In fact, we are not similar to spies. In such a ghostly place, where is there room for development, where is there a way to rise?  Because of all kinds of dissatisfaction, Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai got along with Wu Geng. In the end, after everyone discussed it, it might as well be the other way around.  So, it hit it off, and it was against what was said, and troops were raised to attack Zhou.  In the end, it was Duke Zhou who was the most powerful, and finally gained the upper hand.  Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Wu Geng ended up in complete defeat: Uncle Guan and Wu Geng were directly killed, and Uncle Cai was exiled.

    The previous layout is a bit lengthy, but in order to clearly explain the background, I have to describe it again as a last resort.  Next to the topic.

    After Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai led Wu Geng to rebel, Wu Geng's power, title, etc. were wiped out along with his life.  Although Wu Geng is gone, his fief is still there, and the people in his fief are still there.  This fief needs someone to run it, and this people needs someone to rule it.  Since Yin's old family is unreliable, choose Zhou's close relatives.  Therefore, with the approval of Duke Zhou, Uncle Kang, the younger brother of the same mother of King Wu of Zhou (because there are half-brothers, so the same mother is said here) was sealed in Wu Geng's old place, and he was called "Wei Jun".  .  This is the first ancestor of the "Guo of Wei". He passed on a total of 35 chiefs, and thus began a history of 838 years in total.

    The title of title is generally divided into five levels: public, marquis, uncle, son, and male.  The Duke of Zhou is the "Gong" and is in the highest title.  Uncle Kang belongs to "bo" in terms of title, and is in the third rank.  From Uncle Kang to the seventh head of the Wei State, the highest titles in the Wei State are all earls.

    Arriving at Weiguo's eighth principal, Uncle Qing, this man has some skills and can operate.  He broke through the joints of King Zhou Yi by using "heavy gold" bribes. From then on, Wei Bo was promoted to Weihou, and his title was promoted from earl to marquis.

    The eleventh Duke Wu in charge of Wei State is very much like his first ancestor, Uncle Kang, and he manages Wei very well.  During the reign of Duke Wu, the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the master of the famous "Princes of Fenghuo Opera".  In the forty-second year of Duke Wu of Wei, King You of Zhou was killed by Quan Rong. Duke Wu led Wei's army to support the Zhou army and put down Quan Rong.  Because of his outstanding military exploits this time, King Ping of Zhou promoted Wei from earl to duke.

    The above are major events related to the evolution of the state of Wei, which must be explained clearly.

    In addition, there are anecdotes about the state of Wei. For example, Duke Xuan of Wei saw the beauty of the state of Qi who will be the wife of the prince and the daughter-in-law who is about to marry his son.  ;For example, Wei Yigong likes cranes very much, and he guesses that his kindness to cranes is thousands of times better than that to people. Therefore, when Zhai was attacking Wei, Wei Yigong's ministers said to him, you can send  Your crane went to help you fight and save your life. Duke Wei Yi was finally killed by the invading Zhai people I won't repeat it.

    This incident about the dream is related to Wei Xianggong, the twenty-ninth person in charge of Wei.

    Duke Wei Xiang died after nine years in office.

    Earlier, Duke Xiang had a concubine with a humble background and a low status (historical books call her a "concubine", and I will continue to use this term here, without any intention of belittling women.).  This "low concubine" became pregnant after being favored by Duke Xiang.

    According to the routines of general court dramas, it is speculated that this "low concubine" must have some means and some beauty.  Otherwise, how could he be favored by Duke Wei Xiang in a mansion with a large number of courtiers?

    After this "low concubine" became pregnant, she naturally had a bargaining chip for a higher position.  Now that you can win the favor of Duke Xiang, and get pregnant after being favored, then continue to strive for better things.?? Treatment and higher status are logical and natural things.

    People often say, think day by day, dream at night.  From this commonly used sentence, it can be inferred that dreams are based on reality. No matter how wild a dream is, its shadow and basis for interpretation can be found in reality.  According to this logic, it can be deduced that this "low concubine" must be very familiar with Wei's history and knows it well.  This is evidenced by what follows:

    After she was pregnant, one day, this "low concubine" claimed in private to Kong Chengzi, the doctor of Weiguo, that she had a dream, saying that a person in the dream spoke to her, and the person in the dream said so  of:

    "I am Uncle Kang. I want your son to have the power of Wei and take charge of the great affairs of Wei. I have already chosen your son's name, so I will call him 'Yuan'."

    Because Wei belongs to the surname of Ji, then, according to Wei Kangshu's instructions through the dream, the full name of the child of this "low concubine" should be: Ji Yuan.

    It is very strange that after having this dream, this "low concubine" did not directly tell the dream to her husband Wei Xianggong, but told Kong Chengzi, who was very famous in the political circle of Wei State at that time.

    She pushed back the attendants around her, and said to Kong Chengzi alone:

    "Doctor Kong, let me tell you, I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed of a man who claimed to be Uncle Kang. He told me that he would let my son have the power of Wei and take charge of Wei.  and he even named my son 'Yuan'."

    This "low concubine" asked Kong Chengzi with a puzzled look on her face:

    "Doctor Kong, tell me, who is this 'Uncle Kang'? How does he have such great power? It's a bit ridiculous, you said, I just got pregnant, how did 'Uncle Kang' know that I was pregnant?"  Is it a son?"

    Obviously, this "concubine" is a bit fake.  Uncle Wei Kang was the first lord of Wei and the founder of Wei. Anyone with a little common sense should know it.  Since she was able to get pregnant in Wei's mansion, didn't she see Wei people offering sacrifices to their ancestors?  Even if you haven't seen the sacrifice, don't you even hear the legend of Wei Xianren?

    After this "low concubine" had a dream, why did she only look for Kong Chengzi?  This point is also a bit confusing. Could it be that Kong Chengzi is a full-time dream interpreter?  Or his reputation as an amateur dream interpreter?  Everything is unknown.

    It is conjectured that the reason why this "low concubine" sought Kong Chengzi was probably because Kong Chengzi had considerable political power and social influence in Wei; second, she was sure that she could form a political alliance with Kong Chengzi;  Because of her confidence, Kong Chengzi should understand what she meant and cooperate with her.

    Kong Chengzi is a smart man. After listening to this "concubine", he said very seriously:

    "Ma'am, the Uncle Kang in your dream is the founding lord of Wei, the first ancestor of Wei!"

    The "low concubine" widened his eyes when he heard what Kong Chengzi said, and said in surprise:

    "Really? I don't even know. Is there such a miraculous thing? It's unbelievable. How could the ancestor come into my dream? No wonder he speaks so powerfully!"

    After this conversation, this "low concubine" and Kong Chengzi had a tacit understanding secretly and reached an agreement on the things in the dream.  However, the contents of these conversations are only known to them.

    After this "low concubine" gave birth, the newborn was indeed a boy.  This "low concubine" and Kong Chengzi told Wei Xianggong about the previous dream.

    At that time, Wei Xianggong liked this "low concubine" very much. Now, she gave birth to a boy, and Kong Chengzi, an important official, was on the sidelines.  When Wei Xianggong heard this, he was very happy, and immediately said:

    "It seems that this child was given to me by heaven, and his position is also determined by heaven. In this case, let everything obey God's will!"

    The newborn baby's name is Ji Yuan according to the dream.

    Because Wei Xianggong's wife did not give birth to a boy, Wei Xianggong made Ji Yuan the official heir of Wei according to the will of heaven.

    This Ji Yuan is Duke Ling of Wei.

    Finally, I would like to add that there is another interesting story between Wei Linggong's wife Nanzi and the great sage Confucius: that is, when Confucius met Nanzi, because Nanzi returned the salute, the sound of the ring ring was jingling, which made Zilu very uncomfortable.  Happy, Confucius also swore to the sky because of this.

    Wei's dream of being a "lower concubine" finally established his son's position as Wei's number one leader.  This dream is a dream that is difficult to distinguish between true and false!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
