The middle father s strange strategy ruled the country, and the king was revered

Since the Duke of Qi Huan came to power, with the assistance of Guan Zhong, he has undergone many reforms in internal affairs, economy and military, and has a strong material foundation and military strength.

"Respect the king", respect: respect. Resist, repel, resist. The original meaning of this allusion was to honor the king of Zhou as the lord of the Central Plains and defend against the northern nomads. Later, it became synonymous with forming a national united front in the face of foreign invasion.

"Respect the king", that is, to respect the power of the king of Zhou and maintain the patriarchal system of the Zhou dynasty. In 655 BC, King Hui of Zhou had the intention of appointing another crown prince. The Qi Huan Guild gathered the princes and monarchs at the head and allied with Zhou Tianzi to determine the legitimacy of the crown prince.

In the following year, Duke Huan of Qi led a coalition army to attack Zheng Guo because of the arrest of Duke Zheng Wen. A few years later, Duke Huan of Qi led many monarchs to make alliances with the doctors sent by King Xiang of Zhou, and established the throne of King Xiang of Zhou. In 651 BC, the Duke of Qi Huan summoned the kings of Lu, Song, Cao and the king of Zhou, Zaikong, to meet in Kuiqiu.

On behalf of the king of Zhou, Zhou Gongzai officially crowned the Duke of Qi Huan as the chief of the princes. In the autumn of the same year, Duke Huan of Qi presided over the Alliance of Kwai Hill as the overlord. After that, when there was an infringement on the authority of the Zhou royal family, the Duke of Qi Huan would inquire and stop it.

"Conquer Yi", that is, to resist the invasion of the princes of the Central Plains by the nomadic Rong and Di and the southern Chu state outside the Great Wall. In 664 BC, the mountain Rong felled Yan, and the Qi army rescued Yan. In 661 B.C., the Di people attacked Xing, and the suggestion of the Duke of Qi Huan to "please save Xing" repelled the Di soldiers who destroyed the capital of Xing, and established a new capital for the Xing State in Yiyi.

The following year, Di people attacked and defended, and Wei Yigong was killed. Duke Huan of Qi led the vassal states to build a new capital in Chuqiu for the Wei State. After years of hard work, the Duke of Qi Huan made a powerful counterattack to the repeated northern invasions of the Chu State, and in 655 BC, the allied army attacked Chu, forcing the Chu State to agree to pay tribute to the Zhou royal family, and the Chu State also expressed its willingness to join the alliance headed by the Duke of Qi Huan and obey the command of the Qi State, which is the Zhaoling Alliance.

The battle of Chu suppressed the northern invasion of Chu and protected the Central Plains.

The policy of "respecting the king and conquering the king" implemented by the Duke of Qi Huan made his hegemony more legitimate and reasonable, and at the same time protected the economic and cultural development of the Central Plains. It has made great contributions to the survival of Chinese civilization.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou Dynasty had already existed in name only, and at this time, the Qi State implemented the law reform and became stronger, and it happened that at this time, the powerful state of Chu in the south was about to attack Zhou, and the King of Qi decided to help Zhou recognize the status of Zhou Tianzi to prevent the Chu State from destroying Zhou's plan.

Related to the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

During the Meiji Restoration in Japan, some people raised the slogan of respecting the emperor and boycotting foreigners.

Since the Duke of Qi Huan came to power, with the assistance of Guan Zhong, he has undergone many reforms in internal affairs, economy and military, and has a strong material foundation and military strength.

To add a little more, this reverence was later proposed again by scholars such as Dong Zhongshu and was adopted and implemented in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the power of the feudal kings in various places was gradually weakened.

Respecting the king, such as Xiumingtang, changing clothes, and even the theory of the unity of heaven and man are all for the sake of honoring the king. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was dominant, and the so-called Confucianism was the only one. The Tui En Decree divided the vassal king's realm into categories and distributed them to their descendants, which weakened the vassal kingdom.

Of course, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was also very important in weakening the power of the vassal king. By honoring the king, the centralization of power was strengthened.

At that time, the Xiongnu in the north were rampant, and the iron cavalry ravaged our border, and even threatened the regime. The barbarians of the south were also subdued.

In this way, the feudal state was strong and prosperous.

The main reason is the reform of the management and middle school.

Guan Zhongkuan, Hui Yusui changed his cautious and humble answers.

Allegiance to the ruler and exclusion of ethnic minorities. From Qing Pixirui's "The History of Classics: The Ancient Era of Classics": "But respecting the king is righteous, although the Spring and Autumn Period is righteous, and the king is not only respectable, and he is not a body with two arms. ”
