Duke Yin of Lu was killed

"Give me a papaya, and I will give you Qiong Yao. Give me a peach, and I will give you Qiong Yao."

Give me wood and plums, and give me gold and nine in return."

In the palace of the State of Qi, the envoy of the State of Zheng recited a poem from the Book of Songs to express his gratitude for the alignment of the State of Zheng and the help of the two countries of Lu in defeating Xu. During this period, people valued courtesy exchanges. Duke Xi of Qi expressed his gratitude to the State of Zheng in the palace

The envoy said: "I and the State of Zheng have made an alliance at Shimen, and such small things are considered part of my duty. Your Majesty, my brother, is so humble, and you really forget your own interests." The envoy reported back to Duke Zheng Zhuang, who was very happy.

After the day, the envoys from the State of Zheng who went to the State of Lu to express their gratitude also returned. What they brought back was not the praise of Duke Yin of Lu, but a shocking news that happened in the State of Lu——

Duke Yin of Lu often said to his ministers: "The king of the state of Lu should be Prince Ji Gui. Because he is young, I will temporarily manage the country for him." Ji Yu, an official whose father was highly accomplished and powerful, one day asked Duke Yin of Lu to grant him the title.

As the Dazai, Duke Lu Yin said: "You can speak for yourself when Ji Gui, the young master, grows up and takes over the throne." Ji Yu's father was dissatisfied, and after calming down, he thought, if Ji Gui passes away, what will happen to Lu Yin Gong?

If you remain the king for a long time, you can be promoted as soon as possible, so he secretly told Duke Yin of Lu: "You can't borrow sharp weapons when you get them. Since the king has inherited the throne and is deeply loved by the people, he should be the king year after year. A hundred years later

, should also be passed on to his descendants." Justice Lu Yin wanted to correct Ji Yu's father, but Ji Yu's father continued: "Your Majesty, don't say that you are temporarily in charge of state affairs. In fact, the handprint of 'Mrs. Lu' is not necessarily

It is God's will, or it may be a coincidence. Now that your master Ji Gui is old, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you in the future. I request that Ji Gui be killed to eliminate the trouble for you. What do you think?" Duke Lu Yin pointed at Ji Yu.

Father, he said angrily: "Are you crazy? How dare you talk such nonsense! "Ban" in "The Book of Songs" says, 'God's eyes are very bright, and he comes and goes with you. God's eyes are very bright, and he follows you wherever you go.

I'm wandering around. How dare I mess around under the eyes of God? To tell you the truth, I have sent people to build a palace in Tuqiu and will live there for my old age. In a few days, I will pass the throne to the young master Ji Gui.

"Ji Yu's father retreated silently, regretting that he had said the wrong thing.

In the next few days, the doctor Ji Yu's father was always worried that Lu Yin Gong would tell his son Ji Gui these words. If Ji Gui knew about it, he would be punished after he came to the throne. After repeated consideration, he did not believe in God's will like Lu Yin Gong.

Ji Yu's father decided to turn around and kill Lu Yin Gong to support Ji Gui.

After making up his mind, the doctor Ji Yu's father went to see the young master Ji Gui. Ji Gui asked him to take a seat, but Ji Yu's father did not sit down. Instead, he drew his sword and said: "Sir, do you know the purpose of my coming? I tell you, Jun

I have been ordered to secretly execute you within the next few days, because you have grown up and will compete with you for the throne." Ji Gui said in horror: "I can be a minister with peace of mind, how dare I have any wrongdoing?"

Ji Yu's father said: "Young Master, you think so, but your Majesty doesn't think so." Just when Ji Gui was at a loss, Ji Yu's father suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is unkind, and Young Master must be unjust. You want to avoid disaster.

You have to risk everything." Ji Gui helped Ji Yu's father up and said, "He has been the king for eleven years, and the ministers and people all believe in him. If big things don't happen, they will suffer." Ji Yu's father said, "I

I have made a good idea for you, young master." Ji Yu's father whispered to Ji Gui in a low voice: "Tomorrow, your Majesty will go to the city to offer sacrifices. Every time you go, you will stay at the doctor Lai Ying's house. I have sent warriors to lurk, and as soon as I find out,

Go forward and assassinate him when you get the chance." Ji Gui said: "Although this method is good, how can we get rid of the bad reputation of murdering the monarch?" Ji Yu's father whispered: "We can put the crime on Lai Ying."

Ji Gui's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Ji Yu's father in turn and said, "If the big thing comes true, I will definitely make you Dazai."

The doctor Ji Yu's father acted according to the plan, and indeed he planned well and killed Duke Yin of Lu. Prince Ji Gui ascended the throne and became Duke Huan of Lu.

There must be an ulterior reason behind the strangeness

The envoy continued to report to Duke Zheng Zhuang: "Now the new king of Lu has killed the official Lai Ying and appointed Ji Yu's father as Taizai." Zheng Zhuang Gong said: "Father Yu has military power in his hands. Today he will attack this and tomorrow he will attack that. He will do whatever he wants.

The rebellious heart has already begun to show signs of rebellion. Duke Yin of Lu has too much trust in Father Yu, but raising tigers is in danger. If Duke Lu Yin hears Father Yu's nonsense, he exposes his crimes and imposes a capital punishment. Not only will his son Ji Gui

Be grateful, and the people will support their monarch even more. Duke Yin of Lu must be decisive and lack vigilance towards villains, so he will inevitably bring disaster upon himself!" After sighing, Duke Zhuang of Zheng asked the ministers: "Should we attack the state of Lu or unite with the state of Lu? 2.

Which one is beneficial to us?" Shangqing offered sacrifices to Zhong and said: "We need to make good friends with those who are far away, and they can be used as helpers in the future, so we should unite with the state of Lu. I think the envoys from the state of Lu should be coming soon." Before he finished speaking.

After the fall, envoys from the State of Lu came to see Duke Zheng Zhuang and presented their credentials. The credentials stated that Duke Yin of Lu died of a sudden illness and that his son Ji Gui ascended the throne. Duke Zhuang of Zheng was well aware of Duke Yin of Lu's death and did not reveal it, but treated him with courtesy and kindness.

, Yan Zheng and Lu will always live in harmony.

After the Lu envoy left, an envoy from the Song state suddenly came. He first presented a tall and exquisite Shang Yi palace, and then cried and said that Duke Shang of Song Dynasty had been killed by the rebel army.

Prince Feng returned to his country and ascended the throne. Duke Zheng Zhuang could not help but be shocked. He thought that the Zhou royal family was weak and had lost control of other countries, but he did not expect that the world would be in such chaos. Duke Zheng Zhuang knew that the envoy's mission was to say something but not say something, so he arranged for him to stay. Zheng Zhuanggong and

Shangqing sacrificed his feet and discussed: "Shang Yi is a precious sacrificial vessel left over from the Shang Dynasty and kept by the Song Dynasty. It is solemn in shape and exquisitely decorated. Now it was sent by Hua Fudu, the Grand Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. I think this is strange."

Jizu said: "There must be an ulterior reason behind the strange situation. Your Majesty can send someone to find out." So Zheng Zhuanggong sent someone to the Song Dynasty to find out the news, and at the same time he sent someone to invite the Song Dynasty's son Feng to come.

The spies quickly rushed back to the state of Zheng and reported to Duke Zheng Zhuang the circumstances surrounding the murder of Duke Shang of Song Dynasty——

Since the Song Dynasty failed to attack Dai and Sima Kong Fujia fled back, the soldiers and the people have complained a lot. They all said: "The Song Dynasty did not care for the people and sent troops to fight at every turn. We were killed, injured and left behind."

There are orphans and widows, and the population is getting smaller and smaller." After hearing this, Confucius' political enemy Dazai Hua Fudu sent his confidants to spread rumors: "The Song Dynasty has been experiencing constant wars in recent years, wasting people and money, and it was Sima Kong who was in charge of the Song Dynasty's military.

Fu Jia’s idea.” So the soldiers and the people resented Kong Fu Jia.

Dazai Hua Fudu and Sima Kong Fujia rarely interacted with each other in private except for meeting each other in the court. Kong Fujia married a step-brother, Wei Zi, who was very gorgeous. Hua Fudu also heard about it, but he could not see her.

.During a winter, Hua Fudu met Wei Zi by chance on the streets of Suiyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and suddenly

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It was love at first sight, and when I heard that this was the rumored stepmother of the beautiful Kong Fujia, a sinful idea came to my mind.

The trouble caused by the beautiful step-sister

But it is said that Sima Kong Fujia endured the humiliation and shouldered the heavy burden since the defeat of Dai, and trained his troops and horses every day in order to defeat Zheng Guo and avenge his previous humiliation. When people are anxious, they will inevitably have a temper. Kong Fujia often beat and scolded those who were lazy and unwilling.

Disciplined soldiers. Once, a group of soldiers who were punished by Kong Fujia went to Dazai Hua Fudu to complain. Hua Fudu took the opportunity and said: "Your pain, and the pain of the Song Dynasty, are all due to Kong Fujia's warlike behavior."

.If we want to heal the pain in your soul, relieve your heavy burden, and allow you to live a stable and good life, there is only one way to go." At this moment, Father Hua said nothing and looked at those who opposed Confucius.

Jia's soldiers. Those soldiers understood immediately and said one after another: "I will obey Dazai's command in everything, even if I go through fire and water, I will not give up." Governor Huafu nodded and said yes.

Late that night, Dazai Huafu led the soldiers who opposed Sima Kongfujia and his own servants to besiege Kongfujia's house. Kongfujia was killed, and his step-sibling Wei Zi became Huafu's governor.

Concubine. Kong Fujia only had one son, named Kong Fangshu. He was still young, so his retainers took him and fled to the State of Lu.

Early the next morning, Duke Shang of the Song Dynasty was stunned when he heard that Sima Kong Fujia had been killed. He remembered that since he succeeded to the throne, Kong Fujia had been assisting him with all his heart, no credit but hard work, but now he died unexpectedly.

The king of a country could not protect a minister. Duke Shang of Song Dynasty was sad and angry, and immediately sent someone to summon Governor Huafu. Governor Huafu hurriedly discussed with his retainer Huafu: "Your Majesty favors Kong Fujia, and now we have taken the liberty of sending him to the throne."

He has been killed, what do you think your Majesty will do with us?" Hua Fu remained silent. Huafu said: "The war in the Song Dynasty continues, and it is hard for your Majesty to escape the blame. It is better to depose him and welcome the late emperor's son Zi Feng.

What do you think about turning misfortune into blessing?" Hua Fu said: "Master's words are just what we want." So Huafu secretly arranged the sergeants to take advantage of the Song Dynasty Duke to express his condolences to the Kong family. They rushed up and killed the Song Dynasty Duke.

Died in the rebellion.

After hearing that Duke Shang of the Song Dynasty was dead, Governor Huafu stepped forward to put an end to the "chaos" and killed one or two scapegoats with his own hands to cover up the public's ignorance. In mourning clothes, Governor Huafu summoned the officials of the Song Dynasty and said: "Father Kong's tyranny of government led to military chaos.

I don't want the monarch to suffer from it." The ministers were afraid of Governor Huafu and did not dare to speak. Governor Huafu continued: "The eldest son of the late Song Mu Gong, Feng Renhou, loved the people, so he should be brought back to the throne." The ministers obeyed and retreated.

After leaving, Governor Huafu sent envoys to the State of Zheng to report the funeral. In order to gain recognition from the princes of various countries, Governor Huafu ordered people to take out the valuable utensils from the treasury and bribe Zheng, Lu, Qi, Chen and other countries.

After listening to the spies' report, Duke Zhuang of Zheng sighed and said, "I understand why Governor Hua is so generous." Then he discussed with Shangqing Jizu how to treat the Song Dynasty. Jizu said: "Zhengguo is virtuous, while neighboring countries are merciless.

If the government of Zheng is strong, its neighboring countries will be weak. The son of the Song Dynasty, Feng, has been in Zheng for many years and has been on good terms with us. If he goes back and takes the throne, the two countries of Zheng and Song can change their years of confrontation and become good friends and good neighbors. This matter

It will definitely be beneficial to Zheng, but not harmful to Zheng." Zheng Zhuanggong nodded in agreement, and ordered people to prepare chariots and horses to send Zifeng and the Song envoys back to Song Dynasty.

Misfortunes are where blessings depend, blessings are where misfortunes lie

When Feng, the son of the Song Dynasty, was leaving, he cried and said to Duke Zheng Zhuang: "My life was left to me by you. Now that I return to the country to inherit the throne, I will treat you as the emperor." Duke Zheng Zhuang also cried farewell in a low voice.

He replied: "I only hope that Zheng and Song Dynasty will always be friends. How can I dare to enjoy the treatment you mentioned as the emperor? This is a disgrace to me!" After all, Zheng Zhuanggong was an old man. At this time, he couldn't help but said in his heart: "As the saying goes, when you climb high, you fall.

De Zhong. Zifeng now regards Zheng Guo as high as the emperor, but he is afraid that he will treat Zheng Guo as a subordinate in the future. I should pay attention to Song Guo." After bidding farewell to his son Feng Yiyi, Zheng Zhuanggong and his ministers said: "

The deceased uncle Duan wanted to be the king, but he ended up betraying his relatives and died in a foreign country. The young master Feng An stayed to his own devices, but God caused civil strife in the Song Dynasty and allowed Zifeng to come to power. It is really unpredictable." All ministers obeyed.

The son Feng returned to the Song Dynasty and ascended the throne as the king. He was the Duke of Zhuang of Song Dynasty. Hua Fudu was still his chief minister. The bribes distributed to various countries worked, and no one attacked the Song Dynasty in order to quell the civil strife in Song Dynasty and uphold justice.

Misfortunes depend on blessings, and misfortunes lurk. Just as Zheng improved its relationship with Song, something happened that worried Duke Zheng Zhuang. He said that Duke Zheng used his position as a minister in the Zhou Dynasty to order other countries to attack Song, and also committed crimes without authorization.

The mobilization of the Zhou Dynasty's troops aroused King Huan of Zhou's great anger. He dismissed Duke Zheng Zhuang from his position as Zhou Qing's non-commissioned officer. After hearing the news, Duke Zheng Zhuang complained in his heart to King Huan of Zhou and refused to pay tribute for five consecutive years. That was all, Zhou said.

King Huan suddenly heard that Song had treated Zheng with the same courtesy as the emperor, and he was very angry and cursed: "Zheng is so rude! If we don't attack him, all the princes will imitate him." So despite the dissuasion of his ministers, he ordered Cai and Chen to come together.

He and the Zhou royal family launched an army to attack Zheng. At this time, Duke Huan of Chen had just passed away, and his younger brother Chen Tuo killed his son Chen Ming and established himself as king. The people were dissatisfied and fled one after another. Although Chen and Zheng had been friends, King Huan of Zhou ordered him to send troops

, In addition, Chen Tuo had just ascended the throne and did not dare to disobey the king's order, so he sent an army there. Cai Guo had always supported Zhou and disliked Zheng, so he sent troops to follow him. Song, Qi, Lu and other countries had good relations with Zheng Guo, so they did not listen to Zhou Huan

The king ordered.

The two armies faced each other at Changge in the state of Zheng. King Huan of Zhou came to the battle line surrounded by Zhou Gong Ji Heijian and other ministers, and Duke Zhuang of Zheng came to face the battle accompanied by Shangqing Jizu and other officials. King Huan of Zhou angrily rebuked Duke Zheng Zhuang: "I pay homage to the emperor every year.

It is your responsibility to defend the royal family, but you have no regard for the emperor, support your own troops, and corrupt the imperial court. You are even arrogant and arrogant, accepting the worship of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. If you know etiquette, understand shame, and show your flesh with your face tied, come here

"Excuse me." To expose one's body means to take off the clothes on the upper body, and to bind one's body means to tie one's hands behind one's back. Duke Zheng Zhuang knew the origin of this allusion. When the Shang Dynasty fell, Weizi, the concubine brother of King Zhou of Shang, exposed one's face and bound his left hand.

The sheep, holding the grass on the right, walked forward on their knees. Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuanggong was a little angry, but he suppressed his anger, cupped his hands and said: "Since the beacon fire played on the princes, the edifice of the Zhou royal family is falling down, and the world is full of broken walls.

The ruins are in ruins and dust is rising everywhere. We, the State of Zheng, helped the emperor move eastward and supported you as king, but you, my king, repaid kindness with evil and hurt the hearts of the princes in the world. As for what the king said about Zheng Guo accepting the worship of the emperor of Song Dynasty,

It is just spreading rumors, and there is absolutely no such thing. Politicians are upright. Your Majesty, you do not cultivate virtue, how come you only hate the princes? Yansheng heard that after the death of Duke Yin of Lu, in the state of Lu, which followed Zhou rites, a new king

I also don’t ask for canonization from you, Your Majesty, which breaks the system that the princes are not canonized by the emperor. Currently, the status of the emperor in the minds of the princes is not as good as it used to be. Please go back and be like Zhou, the founder of the Zhou Dynasty.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If King Wen implements benevolent government, respects the old, loves the young, and treats the virtuous and virtuous, then all the princes in the world will worship the emperor as before." After hearing this, King Huan of Zhou was furious and immediately ordered his troops to attack.

Not to mention bullying the emperor

On the Zheng State's side, a formation called Yuli was set up. Its characteristic is to move first and rear, and Wu Chengmi is to arrange the chariots in front and evacuate the infantry on both sides and rear of the chariots, thus forming a

The steps and vehicles work together to form a flexible and flexible whole in attack and defense.

Hit the snake seven inches first. Duke Zhuang of Zheng ordered the Zheng army to attack Chen's unstable and weakest soldiers and horses first, and quickly defeated them. Cai's soldiers were afraid of Zheng's army and withdrew from the battlefield in panic. As soon as the Chen and Cai armies retreated, Zheng's army

They concentrated their forces to attack the Zhou Emperor's army from both sides. How could the Zhou Emperor's army withstand the well-trained and experienced battlefield Zheng army? During the battle, King Huan of Zhou was shot in the shoulder by an arrow from Zheng Guo's doctor Xia Shuying. The pain was excruciating.

The forbearing King Huan of Zhou did not lose his kingly spirit, and commanded his troops to escape from the siege despite the pain. Xia Shuying was about to chase and capture King Zhou Huan alive, but Duke Zheng Zhuang shouted and stopped him. Duke Zheng Zhuang said to Xia Shuying: "A gentleman cannot force others.
