This man prays for the Three Kings to kill him instead of his brother in the text “The Metal-Bound Coffer.” A canon ascribed to this man defines 360 posts under six offices and helped “institute ritual and music.” A later thinker lamented that not dreaming of this deified author of the Book of Dreams signaled his decline. For refusing to write a speech comparing the Yǒnglè (“yohng-luh”) Emperor to this man, Fāng Xìaorú (“fahng shee-OW-roo”) was “exterminated to the tenth degree.” After he suppressed the Rebellion of the Three Guards, this man codified the fēngjiàn (“fung-jee-en”) system of fiefs and moved the nine dǐng (“deeng”) bronzes to a city he founded for deposed elites near modern Luòyáng (“lwoh-yahng”). This official’s abdication for his nephew King Chéng (“chung”) legitimized the newly-formulated “Mandate of Heaven.” For 10 points, Confucians idealized what official who served as regent after the fall of the Shāng? ■END■

The city was called Chéngzhōu.)
