At that time, he was filial and kind, assisted in cutting Zhou and sealed in Lu. Duke Zhou did not go to seal the country, but stayed in the dynasty, assisted King Wu, and established a system for Zhou Anding's society. King Wu collapsed and he became the king's regent. According to Qufu County Records, in the 13th year, King Wu proclaimed himself the emperor of the world and was awarded the title of Qufu in Shao Hao market. If the public does not obey, make him a public, and when he becomes king, make him a public in Lu. The newly established Zhou Dynasty faced serious difficulties. In Shang Dynasty, the old nobles were preparing for restoration, and the Duke of Zhou's assistant government violated the principle of father's death and son's succession in the hereditary system of the throne, resulting in internal contradictions in Zhou's group. As a result, the remnants colluded with the rebel forces within the Zhou family, and their representatives were Zhou Wang's son Wu Geng, "Three Supervisors" Guan Shu, Cai Shu and others. As a result, Duke Zhou put down his uncle's rebellion, destroyed 50 countries, established the southeast, and restored the system of rites and music.
Duke Zhou was kind, filial and versatile since childhood. When King Wen was around, he was different from those children, relying on filial piety. When King Wu ascended the throne, he received loyal support. Once, King Wu was ill, and his ministers were worried, so he asked the first king for help. "The Duke of Zhou is good at doing his own thing, setting up three altars, and the Duke of Zhou stands in the north, telling the King of Thailand, the King of Qi and the King of Wen on behalf of Bi Binggui." I would like to replace the king of Wu with myself and say, "I am skilled and versatile, and I can serve ghosts and gods." When King Wu died in infancy and became king, Duke Zhou resolutely provoked the burden of "governing the country", taught him to become king, and assisted the country and the country for life.
Duke Zhou's political thought of "respecting morality and protecting people" is the direct source of Confucian political thought. An important concept in Confucianism, "Li", also originated from Duke Zhou. Duke of Zhou is generally said to be written by Duke of Zhou, so it is inevitable that people will directly associate Duke of Zhou with dreams. This is why dreams are often called "Duke of Zhou Dream" or "Duke of Zhou Dream".
Duke Zhou was afraid of losing the sages of the world. When he washed his hair, he held the unfinished hair many times. When eating a meal, I vomited several times and couldn't wait to receive the wise men. This is the allusion of the idiom "holding hair and spitting milk". Duke Zhou was meticulous about the young king. Once, Cheng Wang was seriously ill, and the Duke of Zhou was very anxious. He cut his nails, sank into the river, prayed to the river god and said, "I'm not sensible now, it's all my fault." If I want to die, let me die! " Wang Cheng really recovered. Seven years after the Duke of Zhou was regent, the king had grown up, so Duke of Zhou returned to politics and returned to the position of minister himself.
Later, someone slandered the king, and the Duke of Zhou was afraid and fled to Chu to escape. Soon, Cheng Wang looked through the documents collected in the warehouse and found that the prayers of Duke Zhou when he was ill were moved to tears. He immediately sent someone to welcome him back. After the Duke of Zhou returned to Zhou, he still served the dynasty faithfully. Duke Zhou assisted King Wu as king and made great contributions to the establishment and consolidation of the Zhou Dynasty. Especially when he was wronged as a queen, he remained loyal and devoted himself to the development of the Zhou Dynasty until his death, and finally ruled the world. The Duke of Zhou died and asked to be buried in Chengzhou to show his intention of becoming a king. Wang Cheng was very modest and buried him in Biyi, next to the tomb of King Wen, to show his respect for the Duke of Zhou.
