Chapter 296 Duke Huan of Qi was starved to death... (subscribe)
"The first master of the Spring and Autumn Period is really extraordinary."

"Well, after Qi Huan became the hegemony, he has been influencing a series of princes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States."

"Yes, like the state of Wu and Yue at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the two countries have always wanted to follow the example of Duke Huan of Qi and go to the Central Plains to meet with the princes and become the overlord of the world."

The Spring and Autumn history of more than 2000 years made everyone feel extremely strange, but after listening to it, they felt extremely excited.

Also.

Since Duke Huan of Qi ruled over the past few decades, a group of students and audiences can see it.

History has always been passed down.

Duke Huan of Qi became hegemony, and only then did a series of princes follow suit.

What Duke Huan of Qi did has also influenced a series of other princes in later generations.

"It can be said that among the series of overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong is recognized by all historians and historians. However, when Qi Huangong dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, his influence was not just hegemony. When Qi State dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, A series of thoughts and cultures about Qi State have also been spread one by one. For example, the war between Qi State and various countries was not a direct siege war at the beginning, but a trade war. Like purchasing weapons, The purchase of live deer from Chu State caused other countries to lose in the battle due to economic problems.”

"Secondly, Guan Zhong also implemented a salt and iron monopoly in Qi State, which was also the first system in which the Chinese nation implemented a salt and iron monopoly. As for why this system was implemented, Guan Zhong believed that compared with the continuous collection of taxes from the people, the people have countless Complaints. However, if the salt and iron are monopolized by the imperial court and the sales price of salt and iron is increased, the profit will be greater than that obtained by direct expropriation, and there will be less public grievances.”

"In addition, Guan Zhong realized at that time that consumption has a huge role in promoting the economy. He believed that if everyone does not consume, then the circulation of goods will not be easy. The lower the circulation of goods, the less economic development. This kind of thinking also has It has something to do with the fact that Guan Zhong was a businessman in his early years, and we are still promoting this concept after thousands of years. Like the modern economic environment, various countries and regions are constantly stimulating residents’ consumption and boosting the economy. Even domestic There are also a series of concepts such as consumption upgrades..."

It is precisely because Qi State has implemented these measures that the overall strength of Qi State has been greatly improved.

At the same time.

Even in the later period, when it comes to Qi and Linzi, countless vassal states think that it is the most prosperous place in China.

"Mr. Chen Fan, how long has the Qi State been in power?"

At this time.

A student raised his hand again to ask a question.

Chen Fan nodded.

This is exactly what he will say next: "Qi's hegemony lasted for a relatively long period of time. Probably during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, the strength of Qi was very strong. However, in the later years of Duke Huan of Qi, he began to change. He was so proud and arrogant, he began to enjoy it. For this reason, he also reused four villains. Their names are Chang Zhiwu, Kai Fang, Shu Diao, and Yi Ya."

"Let's talk about the witch first."

These four people can be said to be very famous.

"Duke Huan of Qi's body was gradually aging in his later years, but he didn't want to accept this fact. So he reused Chang Zhiwu, who knew witchcraft, hoping to use witchcraft to make himself immortal or improve himself. lifespan."

"Keifang is the prince of Wei State. At that time, Wei State was defeated, and Kai Fang was sent to Qi State as a hostage. In order to show his loyalty to Duke Huan of Qi, Kai Fang has been close to Duke Huan of Qi for more than ten years. Even his parents died. I will not go back to attend the funeral."

"The other man named Shu Diao is even more awesome. Shu Diao was the first eunuch in the Spring and Autumn Period, or the first eunuch in China. You know, at that time, he did not have the profession of eunuch. But Shu Diao In order to gain loyalty to Duke Huan of Qi, he actually eunuched himself. This moved Duke Huan of Qi very much, and he let Shu Diao accompany him all the time."

The former Chang Zhi Wu and Prescription are not bad.

Although he is a villain, at least his behavior is normal.

but.

When Chen Fan mentioned Shu Diao, everyone subconsciously felt cold in their crotch.

"Nimma, it's too scary to eunuch yourself."

"At that time, there were no eunuchs. If you eunuch yourself like this, with the conditions at that time, it is very likely that you will be finished."

"Well, it's not like there are so many eunuchs in later generations, and there are more medical methods, and there are more ways to make yourself a eunuch."

In short.

No matter what, in order to show loyalty, castrating oneself is really not something ordinary people can do.

but.

None of this counts.

Chen Fan said: "There is another person who is more unreasonable, and this person is Yi Ya. Yi Ya was originally a cook, and his cooking skills are said to be the best in the Spring and Autumn Period. Some people commented on Yi Ya, saying that Yi Ya The seasoning of teeth is also sour, sour with water, and light with water, and the water and fire phases change easily, so there is no loss of saltiness in the diet. That is to say, Yiya can make sour and salty food through the reconciliation of water, salt and fire. , delicious food. At the same time, Yi Ya is also the first person in China to open a private restaurant. Therefore, he is also called the ancestor by the chefs."

Speaking of this, some students were puzzled and asked: "Teacher Chen Fan, Yi Ya is just a chef. It seems nothing that the king of a country likes food."

Chen Fan also nodded and said: "Yes, compared to others, if you just like delicious food, then of course there is no problem. However, this Yi Ya wanted to win the favor of Duke Huan of Qi. Once, Duke Huan of Qi accidentally After saying a word, he said that I have tasted all the delicacies in the world."

"I……"

That's all Chen Fan said.

At this moment, everyone stood up excitedly.

even.

Some people just fell off their seats.

"Damn, killed your own young son and made a broth?"

"This this this..."

"Nimma, I'm terrified to hear that."

"This is more terrifying than eunuching yourself."

Although it is unacceptable for everyone to eunuch himself.

but.

Killing his own son, making soup with his own son's meat...

Everyone took a deep breath.

Is this still done by humans?
Some girls even dare not listen to it anymore.

Chen Fan continued: "The next day, Duke Huan of Qi had another meal. But unlike before, this time, Duke Huan of Qi drank a bowl of soup that was more delicious than before, and he had never eaten it before. Qi Duke Huan was very happy, so he asked Yi Ya, what kind of meat did you use to make the soup? Yi Ya cried and said, "This soup is made from the human flesh of my 4-year-old son."

Everyone shuddered again.

"It's nothing short of livestock."

"I can't wait to kill this guy."

"This is the most disgusting historical figure I've ever heard."

Everyone was extremely angry.

Although there have been too many murders and too many bloody incidents in the thousands of years of history.

For the sake of the throne, the father kills the son, the son kills the father, the elder brother kills the younger brother, and the younger brother kills the elder brother...

These all happen from time to time.

But everyone thought that even so, it was not as terrifying as Yi Ya making broth with his 4-year-old son.

This has gone beyond ethics, as long as there is a trace of humanity, it is unacceptable.

But he was very helpless, but Chen Fan shook his head: "Although at the beginning, Duke Huan of Qi felt disgusted just like everyone else. After all, he said cannibalism was just casual, and he really didn't want to really eat human flesh. And even if it is If he wanted to eat, he would not eat in this way. However, when he saw Yi Ya killed his 4-year-old son for himself, Duke Huan of Qi felt that Yi Ya was so loyal to him that he trusted him even more. "

Ok.

If it's just to reuse the villain, maybe it's nothing.

In history, countless kings have reused villains.

but.

When it is so important to reuse villains that even one's own sanity is completely changed, becoming less than a person.

Everyone knew that Duke Huan of Qi's dominance was about to disappear.

"In 645 BC, Guan Zhong was seriously ill. Duke Huan of Qi was very worried, so he went to visit Guan Zhong. When visiting Guan Zhong, Duke Huan of Qi asked, after you go, who can be the phase? Duke Huan of Qi thought about it. Not Bao Shuya. Guan Zhong shook his head and said, although Bao Shuya is very capable, he is too strong and too strong. He has no problem being a doctor, but Bao Shuya is not suitable for being an auspicious person."

"So Duke Huan of Qi asked how Chang Zhiwu was, and said that Chang Zhiwu could examine the principles of death and life, and expel the diseases that ghosts cast on people. Such a person should be very capable. But Guan Zhong shook his head and said, death and death. Life is predestined, and the diseases caused by ghosts to people are caused by the failure of the spirit. It is unreasonable for the king not to obey the destiny and keep the spirit, but to rely on the witch of Chang. Duke Huan of Qi also said, Mr. Wei prescribes a recipe to serve me 15 Years later, his father did not go back to the funeral, so he should be able to hold the phase. Guan Zhong replied: It is human nature not to love one's father. When the father is dead, he has the heart not to go to the funeral. He will treat the king again. what love?"

"Qi Huangong then asked, what about Shu Diao? He castrated himself so that he could serve me. Such a person should be the most loyal. Guan Zhong said that human nature is selfish. If you don't even love your body , How could he be close to protect the king? Duke Huan of Qi then asked, how is Yi Ya? He also said that Yi Ya killed his own son and boiled it into broth for me to eat for his own happiness. Such a person should be reused. Guan Zhong replied that there are many ways to please the king, such as building achievements and governing well, but Yi Ya killed his own son in the most unreasonable way to please the king, which is beyond human nature. He can kill his own son, how can he be loyal to the king?"

have to say.

Guan Zhong's eyes were very vicious. Although the four villains tried countless ways to please Duke Huan of Qi, Guan Zhong still saw through it at a glance.

"Guan Zhong also said at the end that the four of them are not good for Qi State, but have a lot of disadvantages. If Qi State wants to continue to dominate the world, it must stay away from these four villains. Duke Huan of Qi thinks what Guan Zhong said makes sense , drove the four of them away, and they will never be reused."

At this time, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Duke Huan of Qi has not completely lost his mind, and will still listen to Guan Zhong."

"That is necessary. Guan Zhong won the overlord status for Duke Huan of Qi. His ability is unmatched. Naturally, Duke Huan of Qi trusts Guan Zhong more than these four people."

just.

Just when everyone thought Qi Huangong was still reasonable, Chen Fan said: "But unfortunately, less than a year after Qi Huan made his decision, he felt extremely lonely and bored. He felt that, Without these four people by his side, he would not be in the mood to do anything. In the end, Duke Huan of Qi summoned these four people to his side again."

The reversal came so fast that everyone almost couldn't believe it.

"Fuck me, what's going on here, Duke Huan of Qi is out of his mind, he kicked away the four of them, and then welcomed them back?"

"Has he been confused by the four people and has lost his mind?"

"Impossible, these four people are not beauties. I have only heard that the king is fascinated by beauties. How can there be other people who are fascinated by four men?"

Everyone was a little puzzled.

But Chen Fan said: "Although these four people are men, logically speaking, they are playing with Duke Huan of Qi. They don't have such great magic power. However, sometimes, once people are greedy for fun, they will come back When it came to normal life, it would be extremely unbearable. Without these four people, Duke Huan of Qi felt that although the ministers in the court were very capable, they did not please him. Yes, say some things he doesn't like. Moreover, he has to deal with a series of political affairs, which made Duke Huan of Qi extremely headache."

"At this time, Duke Huan of Qi remembered the time when there were four people around. Not only could these four people play with him, but they would also think of ways to amuse Duke Huan of Qi. In his eyes, they are all talents, and they speak nicely, and he likes them very much. Compared with them, some other ministers are like a piece of wood, which is not fun at all."

With this explanation, everyone nodded.

People are like that.

Once you get used to this kind of fun and return to normal work, there will be a lot of discomfort.

If it's an ordinary person, he can't help it.

but.

As a king, Duke Huan of Qi felt that he had become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

He can do whatever he wants.

All the vassal states can only follow his lead.

"Well, I feel that Duke Huan of Qi will be doomed, and Qi will also lose hegemony."

"Well, with such a king, how could he always dominate."

Everyone stared at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan nodded and said: "In the second year, Duke Huan of Qi was seriously ill. Yi Ya and Shu Diao supported the prince without loss and forced the prince to flee to Song Dynasty. As a result, the five princes of Qi State had a civil war. Yi Ya and others blocked the palace gate. No one was allowed to enter the palace under the false order of the king. Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, the second maid entered the palace over the wall to visit Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan was so hungry that he asked for food. The maids made trouble with Yi Ya and Shu Diao, blocking the palace gate I told Duke Huan of Qi about the inability to provide food, and it was too late for Duke Huan to regret it, and he starved to death in the end."

"But even so, after Duke Huan of Qi died, he did not come to collect his body. It was not until more than 60 days after the five princes competed for the throne that the next successor collected Duke Huan's body..."

Qi's overlord position also began to decline because Qi Huan reused the four villains.

During the reign of Duke Qing of Qi, the Qi army was defeated by the Jin army in the Battle of An'an.During Duke Ling's reign, Qi State attacked Lu State for breaking the alliance.The state of Jin led a total of twelve princes from Lu, Song, Wei, Zheng, Cao, Ju, Zhu, Teng, Xue, Qi, and Xiaozhu to attack Qi. Qi Linggong personally led his army to defend against the enemy, and was defeated by the coalition forces in Pingyin. , since then unable to dominate.The history of Qi's hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period has come to an end...
