Zichan is the grandson of Zheng Mugong, who was in the Qing Dynasty in 554 and reigned in 543, and assisted Zheng Jiangong and Zheng successively. It can be said that Zichan is the engine of Zheng Xinzheng. Later, what did Confucius say? Ren? This is a theory derived from the new policy of child production.
Zi chan worked very hard in governing the state of Zheng, and was also very clean as an official. Moreover, he also advocated that people should participate in the discussion of relevant political affairs, delimit the boundaries of fields and acres, and ensure that all people have food. In addition, he also formulated some explicit laws, and advocated acting in accordance with the formulated laws. As a result, his series of measures have achieved good results, not only the people live and work in peace and contentment, but also the state power has been greatly consolidated.
At that time, Zi chan became prime minister in the official position of Zheng State, and there were articles on Zi chan's governance of Zheng State in the history books. The original text is as follows: the property governs Zheng, and the people cannot be bullied. A son is not as good as a single father, and people can't bear to be bullied. Ximen Bao is in charge of his power, but people dare not bully him. The talents of the three sons, who is the most virtuous, should be able to tell.
The meaning of this passage is: When Zi Chan ruled the State of Zheng, the people could not fool him. When Zijian ruled a single father, the people could not bear to deceive him. When Ximen Bao was in power, people dared not cheat him. So, of these three people, who is the cleverest and wisest? Only those who know how to govern the country can appreciate the difference.
During his reign, there was no major rebellion in Zheng, and the people all thought of good property. Therefore, after his death, people were very sad. This shows that people like Zi Chan benefit from his clean government. How can they cheat him?
There is another allusion about Zi Chan, that is, Zi Chan warned You Ji. So, who is Yu Ji?
Gong Sunfan's son Ji You was an official of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Yuji was very optimistic about a series of reforms and was appreciated by Zheng at that time. At the same time, he is also very good at diplomacy and has been to big countries such as Jin and Chu.
On one occasion, Zi Chan was seriously ill, and Ji You came to visit him. Zi Chan said to You Ji. After my death, you will be highly valued, and you must be strict in politics. ? Moreover, at that time, Zi Chan explained this to You Ji:? The flame looks terrible, people will avoid it when they see it, and the water looks soft, so people will take it lightly. However, many people drowned in the water. ? Therefore, only by implementing strict policies can people dare not break the law easily.
However, you Ji did not adopt Zi Chan's opinion. After Zi Chan's death, there were more and more rebellions in all parts of Zheng State. At this time, Yuji remembered the warning at that time and regretted it for a while. If I had listened to Zi Chan's warning, I wouldn't be like this now. Now with such consequences, Yuji regrets not doing so.
From this story, we can see Zi Chan's foresight and superb political vision. In fact, his great achievements are inseparable from his ideological system, and his benevolent policies are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
