Speaking of the Spring and Autumn Period, we have to mention the "Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants", and the "Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants" generally have two sourcesOne is what "Historical Records Suoyin" says: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Xiang of Song, King Zhuang of Chu; Another version is what "Xunzi" says: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu, King Lu of Wu, and King Goujian of Yue.
The first three are not without controversy, they are:Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King of Chuzhuang；The controversial ones are Qin Mugong, Song Xianggong, Wu Wang Lu, and Yue Wang Goujian.
So do these people live up to the criteria for hegemony? Pan him.
First of all, you have to know that whether they are hegemons or not, they are not the sons of heaven, but princes, the Spring and Autumn Period refers to a period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, who is the monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty? It has to be Zhou Tianzi, the problem is that the Son of Heaven in the Western Zhou Dynasty is weak, and the princes are strong, so the princes will "share" the pressure on the Son of Heaven and help the Son of Heaven give orders, exercising the right on behalf of the Son of Heaven, isn't it a bit of a coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes and princes taste that good?
The first tyrant of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong, that is, Gongzi Xiaobai, When Qi Huan Gong was just Gongzi Xiaobai, he had a competitor, his brother Gongzi Jiao, and Gongzi Jiu had a subordinate named Guan Zhong.
At that time, Qi was in civil strife, Gongsun was ignorant and killed Qi Xianggong, and later Yonglin people killed ignorance, discussing who could succeed the monarch, and the heir must be Gongzi and Gongzi Xiaobai, who were both taking refuge in other places at this time, chose one of the two, Gongzi was in Lu State, and Gongzi Xiaobai was in Ju State, and whoever of the two could return to the capital first would be the heir.
Guan Zhong is also a ruthless person, in order to prevent Gongzi Xiaobai from fighting for inheritance rights with Gongzi, he personally robbed and killed Gongzi Xiaobai, and an arrow hit Gongzi Xiaobai, Xiaobai fell to the ground in the middle and pretended to be dead, Guan Zhong thought he had succeeded, and happily went back to report the good news to Gongzi.
The little white horse who escaped the catastrophe ran non-stop to the fiefdom and became the monarch, and the prince who thought that there was no competitor was in a slow hurry, but when he found that when he arrived in the Qi country, the city set up a big king flag, and the prince failed to compete for the monarch.
The result of the struggle for power is cruel, Gongzi Xiaobai, now it is the Duke of Qi Huan, turn around and ask Lu Guo to kill Gongzi Jiao, otherwise he will send troops to beat him, Lu Guo has no choice but to execute Gongzi Jiao, and also tied up Guan Zhong and handed it over to Qi Huangong to deal with.
Qi Huan Gong had long known from Uncle Bao that Guan Zhong was talentedRegardless of the previous suspicions, Guan Zhong was the prime minister, and it was with the assistance of Guan Zhong that the Qi State gradually became stronger, and played the banner of "respecting the king".。The Zhou royal family was taken care of face, and they also recognized the hegemony of Duke Qi Huan.
It's a pity that after Guan Zhong's death, Qi Huan reused the villain's dictatorshipHe was starved to death in his later yearsAfter his death, his son fought for the right to inherit and put his body on hold for more than 60 days, waiting for the new Qi Jun to appear, and then he was buried in peace.
Dominate the Spring and Autumn Period and the Jin Kingdom.
Jin really can't just say Jin Wengong, because in addition to Jin Wengong, Jin Xianggong continued to dominate, Jin Jinggong lost hegemony and regained hegemony, and Jin Mourning Duke dominated the Central Plains.
In front of the Jin Kingdom, there is no one who can fight, if it weren't for the three families divided into Jin, all the princes could only tremble under the back of the Jin Kingdom.
This also depends on the natural advantages of the Jin State, the Jin State is the same as Zhou Tianzi, both surnamed Ji, and it is also the blood of Ji Fa, the king of Zhou Wu, who was originally an orthodox royal prince and noble, Zhou Tianzi let the Jin State lead the princes, both emotionally and face-wise, it is more reasonable.
And several monarchs of the Jin Kingdom are more reliableJin Wen Gongchuang three armies and six kings, dominating the Central Plains; Jin Xianggong destroyed the three armies of Qin, so that the Qin army could not advance eastward for three hundred years; Jin Jinggong invaded the Chu State itself, ending the hegemony of the Chu State; Jin mourns the duke tired and serves Zheng, Jiu and the Central Plains.
But the biggest problem of the Jin Kingdom is that the royal family is witheringAfter "Quwo Daiyi", there was no prince in the Jin KingdomAlthough this avoided internal strife, it also led to the gradual erosion of rights by the Qing clanIn the end, it was divided by the three Qing families of Han, Zhao and Wei. The Spring and Autumn Period entered the Warring States Period, which also began with the division of the three families.
The overlord who saw the stitches, King Chuzhuang, is the protagonist of the allusion that "if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster".
At that time, the most powerful among the princes was the Jin State, and the opportunity was that the monarch of the Jin State at that time was the Jin LinggongThe rare faint monarch of the Jin Kingdom, who succeeded to the throne at a young age, grew up to indulge in immorality, cruelty, and the orphans of the Zhao family arranged by later generations were what happened during the reign of Jin Linggong.
Under the infighting, Jin Linggong was killed by Zhao Wear of the Qing clan, Zhao Wear welcomed back Zhao Dun, and Zhao Dun welcomed Jin Chenggong.
The civil unrest in Jin is so great hereThe awakened King of Chuzhuang united with the princes to continue to grow bigger, and in the battle of Yi, he defeated the Jin army, drank the Yellow River, entered the Central Plains country, won the title of Zhou Tianzi, and dominated the Central Plains.
But this kind of hegemony without a foundation quickly declined after the death of King Chuzhuang. After Jin Chenggong's son, Jin Jinggong, succeeded to the throne, he once again took over the hegemony.
After talking about the three fixed options, I am talking about several others to be determined, Qin Mugong, Song Xianggong, Wu Wang Lu, and Yue Wang Goujian.
Does Qin Mugong have the strength? There must be, but it also depends on who you compare with, if you compare with Jin, you really can't reach it. Originally, ** was an ally, otherwise, where did the good ** come from?
But the problem is that even if Qin is the king and hegemon in Kansai, he still wants to get involved in the Central Plains? Then Jin will definitely not be happy,He successively fought in the Battle of Kun and the Battle of Peng Ya, If it weren't for Qin Mugong, who was the head of the iron, who did not give up, he reused Meng Mingshi, who had been defeated and fought repeatedlyIn the end, he brought back some face in the battle of the kings, and it is estimated that Qin Mugong, the overlord, will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life.
Even so, the Qin State under the rule of Qin Mugong still cannot be compared with the Jin State at that time, and it is precisely because of the Jin State that the Qin State cannot pass the Hangu Pass for three hundred years.
The reason why Qin Mugong can be called the overlord is that when he saw that the eastward advance could not be achieved, he subdued the Rong State in the west and snatched thousands of miles of land from themDominate SijonThis is also very powerful.
As for Song Xianggong? said that it was the righteous Spring and Autumn Period, but in fact, he, the overlord, had the most water.
At that time, it was still the most powerful time for Duke Qi Huan, after the death of Duke Qi Huan, the five sons fought for power, and Duke Xiang of Song helped Zhao of Qi, the prince of Qi, become the monarch and gained a wave of fans.
governs the country in the name of benevolence and righteousness, but only a few small countries such as Wei, Di, Cao, and Hua listen to himclaimed to be the leader of the alliance, and then he was beaten by King Chu Cheng and arrested. After putting it back, he was still unconvinced, and was defeated by the Chu army again, and was shot and seriously injured, and died of serious injuries not long after。The national strength is small, I really don't know why "Historical Records Suoyin" thinks that he is one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period.
King Wu Lu and King Yue Goujian, these two people have a strong story.
Boss Wu has two baby bumps in the late spring and autumnWu Zixu and Sun Wu, with the abilities of these two people, it is difficult to think of them without their assistance. Especially Wu Zixu, in order to avenge the revenge of the King of Chu for exterminating the clan, he can make any ruthless move.
And what about Goujian, the king of Yue? The country was captured, and he was humiliated by asking about the disease and dung, and after returning to the country, he was lying down and tasting the gall, with the assistance of Fan Li and Wen Chong, Wu was finally destroyed.
Their point of contention lies in the fact that by the end of the Spring and Autumn period,Wu and Yue are more like mergers between princes, and they are located in the southeast, which cannot reach the center of the Central Plains and dominate the group, so it is inevitable that there will be disputes.
To sum up, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period should be the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Jin Wen and the King of Chuzhuang are indisputable, and the princes who dominate the Spring and Autumn Period are only the Jin Kingdom.
