A Further Analysis Of The Deportation Of Duke Zhao Of Lu

After King Ping of Zhou moved the capital to the Luoyang,the decline of the royal power has become an irreversible trend.In the end of the Spring and Autumn Period,the struggle for hegemony among the major powers became the theme of the Chinese land at that time.By the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period,the monarchy collapsed in the princes,and the bureaucrats(Qing clans)overpowered the monarch.As an important country during the Spring period,the State of Lu also saw a situation in which the power of the Three-Huan prevailed over the public office.In the history of the middle and late period of Lu,the contradiction between the public office and the Qing room intensified,and finally the Duke Zhao of Lu sent troops to attack Ji’s family as the apex of the contradiction.Regarding the incident in which Duke Zhao of Lu was expelled from the country and the people involved,most of the descendants thought that Duke Zhao of Lu was not good at Li.He heard the villain’s remarks and launched a coup against Ji.In exile,in the process of exile,Duke Zhao did not listen to the advice of the Zi Jiazi,and eventually returned to the country.However,if you carefully read the historical materials,you will find that the traditional view is not desirable.Ji’s family overwhelming the public office,Duke Zhao is not wrong with it,but the difference between the strength of the office and the Ji’s is very huge,plus the Shu Sun’s Sima zongli’s temporary choice to help Ji’s family made Duke Zhao’s party fail and was forced to leave the country.During Duke zhao’s exile,Zi Jiaji always persuaded him to choose to compromise with Ji Shi and return to the country,however,"Gong Tu" objected to this and repeatedly blocked Duke Zhao ’s return.But analyzing the situation in Lu at that time,if Duke Zhao returned to State of Lu,the situation would be very dangerous,and there might even be a risk of life.Therefore,There is nothing wrong with Duke Zhao refused to return the captial.After an overall analysis of case of Duke Zhao of Lu was expelled from the country,he will find that traditional views have a over-parise for Zijiazi,but there are many injustices to the "Gong Tu".From the perspective of historical data,"Gong Tu" didn’t do anything serious wrong.They just disagreed with whether Duke Zhao should launch the Battle of the Chang Fu and whether Duke-Zhao should be nationalized after his exile.In addition,the "Gong Tu" rejected the reward Duke Zhao gave them beforeDuke Zhao died and escorted Duke-zhao after his death When the coffin returns to the captial,it can be seen that the "Gong Tu" should be a gentleman who is comparable to Zi Jiazi’s detention.In addition,Duke Zhao is not a foolish and unwise monarch,but a sad monarch similar to Cao Mao.The historical source of the case of Duke Zhao of Lu was expelled from the country is mainly ZuoZhuan,and later generations ’evaluation of this matter also comes mainly from Zuo-Zhuan.However,ZuoZhuan is not a completely objective historical book.The obvious feature is that "you can be judged by success or failure".In the conflict between the Duke Zhao Party and the Ji Family,Duke Zhao failed and died in another country.Therefore,Zuo-Zhuan degraded the Duke Zhao’s companion,and praised Zi Jiaji who opposed Duke Zhao attacted Ji’s family before the Battle of Changfu and advocated a compromise with Ji after the Battle of Changfu.;Regarding the conflict between Duke Zhao of Lu and Ji’s family,Zuo-Zhuan favored Ji’s family,which led to the unobjective views of the case of Duke Zhao’s for thousands of years.The real reason for Duke Zhao’s tragedy is the disparity in strength between the public office and Ji’s.Since the rebellion of Qing fu,the right of the Duke of Lu began to weaken,and to Duke Zhao had experienced five generations of monarchs.Ji’s family has risen since Ji Wenzi,and there have been four generations in the period of Ji Pingzi.In the past 100 years,Ji’s family has occupied a large number of private territory and has mastered the state affairs of the country of Lu.Therefore Duke Zhao took the risk and attact Ji‘s family.The battle of Changfu might win,but the huge strength gap between the office and Ji’s family could not be changed for a while.During his exile,Duke Zhao of Lu tried to use the power of Qi State or Jin State to expel Ji and promote the monarchy,but in the end it failed.This shows that in Jin and Qi,the power of the monarch has also declined.In fact,in The entire Central Plains princes,such as Jin,Qi,Lu,Zheng,Wei,etc.,have experienced various degrees of decline in monarchy.The reason for this is the decline of sub-enclosure.At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty,the enfeoffment made the prosperity of the Western Zhou Dynasty,but with the development of the Zhou people’s forces,the barbaric tribes and gaps on the land of China were gradually divided up by the countries.From the decline of King Zhou to the decline of Dukes in various countries,it shows that the enfeoffment has become outdated under the new historical situation.It is a historical necessity for the centralized system to replace the division of the system,and the tragedy of Duke Zhao of Lu is just this a victim of history.
