The king was the supreme ruler of the Xia Dynasty, with military and political power. Its subordinate army, officials and prisons are the pillars of maintaining state power.
The organizational form of the army in the Xia Dynasty can be seen in the oath made by Gandhi when he launched a crusade against the Youhu clan. Xia Benji in historical records says: "to make the oath of Gan is to call the six ministers to apply for it. Qi said, "ho! I will swear to you that you Hu's bullying the five elements, abandoning Sanzheng, and destroying his life. Today, I will punish you. If the left does not attack the left and the right does not attack the right, you will not share your life. You are not in charge of your horse. If you use your life, you will be rewarded to your ancestors. If you don't use your life, you will be rewarded to the society. If you use your son, you will be rewarded to your daughter. " Then the Hu family was destroyed. The world is full of salt. " The meaning of this passage is that before the beginning of the war, Qi summoned his subordinates to denounce the crimes of Youhu and warned his officers and men to be loyal to their duties. Those who perform meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who violate orders will be severely punished. After qimie Youhu's family, all the princes surrendered. The six ministers, the people of the six affairs, the left, the right and the emperor mentioned in the oath are all the appellations of military officers and men.
"Six Qing" and the interpretation of Xia Benji in historical records quoted Kong Anguo as saying: "the six armies of the emperor all command Qing."
"People of six affairs" was quoted from Kong Anguo by Jijie as saying: "each has its own military affairs, so it is called six affairs." "Left" and "right" were quoted by Zheng Xuan as saying: "left, left car. Right, car right. " "Yu" was quoted as saying by Kong Anguo: "the emperor ruled by zhengma."
Vehicle battle was the main form of battle in Xia Dynasty. Cai Shen's "book of songs" says: "in ancient times, the method of chariot fighting was that there were three Jiashi, one on the left, who shot, the other on the right, who shot, the emperor in the middle, who drove with the main horse." This form of vehicle battle, which was composed of left, right and royal, continued to Shang and Zhou dynasties.
It is the general name of the officials in charge of specific affairs in Xia Dynasty. There are chezheng, muzheng and paozheng in the literature, which are the officials who manage vehicles, animal husbandry and food. "Zuo Zhuan · Ding A.D." says: "Xi Zhong, the ancestor of Xue, lived in Xue and thought that Xia Che was right."
According to the records in Zuo Zhuan AI ad Nian, Shaokang was once the muzheng of youstill family. After the "escape is in danger, for it paozheng."
The Xia Dynasty set up the Taishi order. Taishi made Zhonggu famous for his failure in remonstrating Jie and running to business.
There were officials in charge of the four seasons of heaven and earth in the Xia Dynasty. Xia Benji, a collection of historical records, quoted Kong an as saying, "the Xi and he families are officials in charge of the four seasons of heaven and earth."
The king of Xia also temporarily appointed his subordinates to carry out special missions, just like the imperial ministers of later generations. Xia Benji in historical records says: "when Emperor Zhongkang was in power, Xi and he indulged in prostitution, and abandoned the time and disordered the day. Yin went to collect it and made it Ji Jie quoted Kong Anguo as saying, "the king of Yin state was ordered by the king to fight for it." Zheng Xuan said, "Yin is also a minister's name." In the Xia Dynasty, punishment was made. "Zuo Zhuan · Zhaogong six years" says: "there is chaos in Xia, and for Yu punishment." The oath of Gan contained in Xia Benji of historical records has a specific elaboration on the punishment of the army. "Use your life and reward your ancestors." Jijie quoted Kong Anguo as saying: "the emperor's personal expedition must be carried out by the ancestors who moved to the temple. Meritorious service is to reward the ancestors, but not to be dedicated. " "Don't worry about your life, you can't help it." Jijie quoted Kong Anguo as saying, "it's called social affairs to carry the owner of the society. If you run north, you will be in front of the leader. The leader of the society is Yin, and the leader of the society is also Yin. " "A son is a daughter." "Not only does he stop himself and humiliate women, but he is also ashamed and tired," he said
There were prisons in the Xia Dynasty. According to Xia Benji in historical records, Jie "was a Xia Tai who called Tang and was imprisoned, and he has been released." The index said, "the name of the prison.".
