Chapter 32 2. The old tune has been sung
It was Xia Qi who didn't pretend.
According to the old rules that may have been made up, Yu also designated a successor before his death, which is "Yi".After Yu's death, Yiye Xiaogui and Cao Sui hid in the sun of Mount Ji.However, the story did not repeat itself.The chiefs ignored him, and instead supported him as the boss in droves.Qi is also welcome, and he deserves it.
The old tune has been sung, and the play cannot continue.
Such a result makes Confucianism lose face, but unfortunately it is an iron fact.What's more, if the rationality of the hereditary system is not recognized, wouldn't the legitimacy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also become a problem?
I had no choice but to smooth things over and explain that "things happen for a reason."
What a "son of my lord, Emperor Yu"!Talking and talking, only this sentence hits the point.
Yes.Yu's son, this is the key.
In fact, what I mentioned earlier, such as "Yuzi Qixian", and "Zuo Yu's day is shallow", cannot be justified.Qi is excellent, isn't it good?How can you fall into Yu's eyes if you are not good?Yi's time as a deputy is short, so Qi's time is long?He hasn't done it all day.In the final analysis, just because the hereditary system is imperative, at this moment, it is nothing but a ripe fruit, and it will come when conditions are ripe.Therefore, even if Yi has deep qualifications, great contributions, and even more ability and political integrity than Qi, it may be useless unless Yi's strength greatly exceeds Qi.
Strength is capital, and hereditary is the trend.
In fact, the chiefs of the various tribes may have been hereditary before Qi Fei abdicated.
At this time, if the leader of the alliance still has to "give way", everyone will feel awkward.On the contrary, if the abdication system can be abolished, everyone will be happy.Those guys who have already become "vassals of all walks of life" are of course optimistic about their success.
Without further ado, Xia Houqi resolutely "runs the red light".
What was the outcome?He became the "Empress of the Yuan Dynasty".The others are called "Queens of the Group".Of course, they were originally called "Hou", such as Hou Kui, Hou Ji, and Hou Yi.However, the name has not changed, but the nature has changed.Formerly a tribal chief, now the head of state.This is like in ancient India, the tribal leader was called "Rojak", and the monarch of the state was also called "Rojak".As the saying goes, "Lin Xiangru, Sima Xiangru, Xiangru in name, but not in reality".
Of course, the country at this time was immature and only in its infancy, so it could only be called a "tribal country".There must be many such political entities, and they are called "Zhu Xia".Zhu means "many".Many tribal countries are called Xia, not becoming Xia's "king ministers", but only imitating and acknowledging.
Zhuxia is "cultural identity".
Those who disagree are called "Zhu Di" and "Zhu Qiang".
There are also dissatisfied.
The dissatisfied tribe is called "Youhu", whose territory is in today's Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, and Xia Qiyuan's family, both of whom have the surname Si (pronounced as four).Whether they are opposing Xia Qi or hereditary, it is not clear, maybe they are both.Anyway, this is a toast but not a fine drink, so you must use your fists to teach you a lesson.So Xia Qi led his troops to crusade without hesitation, and ordered: those who take the lead should be "rewarded by the ancestors", and those who fled before the battle should be "killed by the society".
The cultural code is in this order.
Xia Qi's so-called "ancestor" and "she" both refer to tablets.Zu is the memorial tablet of the ancestors, called "God Lord"; She is the tablet of the god of the society, called "Shezhu".The god of the society is the god of the land, that is, the "houtu" in "the emperor's land".In ancient times, when marching and fighting, if the head of state "conquered in person", he had to use a special car to carry these two kinds of tablets to accompany him, so that rewards and punishments could be carried out in the name of gods and ancestors.There are ancestors in Xia Qi's car, which means that they already have ancestor worship, and even have had it for a long time.When is it early?Yao and Shun.Because Yao and Shun did not have totems.Without a totem, what is there to worship?It can only be the ancestors.
Ancestor worship and the hereditary system are complementary and mutually reinforcing.It is even the cultural preparation, ideological preparation and public opinion preparation of the hereditary system.Because once the status of the ancestors is established, the election and abdication of leaders are no longer possible.Think about it and know, how can there be "choosing father" and "changing ancestors" in the world?Perhaps, our story should go on like this, if there is no "business".
