Zheng Zhuanggong finally breathed a sigh of relief now, and he said to the doctors: "Until today, when I call myself a 'widow', I don't have to turn my head to look at the East Palace. ”

Zhuang Gong held a grand ceremony for Gongzi Lu, and those who had meritorious service were rewarded and those who were guilty were severely punished. Duke Zhuang ordered Wu Jiang to be placed under house arrest in Yingcheng (southwest of present-day Dengfeng, Henan). He was in a complicated mood when he gave the order, his expression distorted, and his voice trembled.

Wu Jiang asked to see Zhuang Gong before leaving, but he refused, he was afraid that seeing his mother would make the situation get out of control. Zhuang Gong only gave his mother one sentence: "If you are not as good as Huangquan, you swear not to see each other!" ”

As a mother, she violated human ethics; As a subject, she betrayed the monarch; As a conspirator, she shook the office. It is precisely because Wu Jiang is the one who gave Zhuang Gong life that what she does seems to others to be more evil and intolerable, and Zhuang Gong's resentment towards her is deeper.

But it wasn't long before Zhuang Gong's longing for his mother returned, and he began to regret the rash decision he had made earlier.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Zhuanggong's approach is really unfilial. As a monarch, his words and deeds will become an example for the people, and no monarch will advocate the unfilial piety of the people; And his wicked deeds may give authority and cause great trouble. It is believed that he has firmly controlled the state power and there is no need to take revenge on his mother in such extreme ways.

Under the dual pressure of internal and external pressure, Zheng Zhuanggong's reason overcame his old impulses, and he wanted to bring his mother back to Xinzheng, but he suffered from not having the right opportunity.

Ying's local governor is named "Uncle Yingkao", and he is a man with a bright mind and can speak well. One day, he hunted a few rare game, so he came to Xinzheng and offered his game to Zhuang Gong. Zhuang Gong held a banquet to entertain Uncle Yingkao, and by the way, he inquired about his mother's news.

The wine and meat were all together, but Uncle Ying Kao made a series of astonishing actions: he took out a square scarf as if no one was around, unfolded it and carefully spread it on the table; Then he picked out some large pieces of meat and put them on the square scarf, and tied them into small wrappers and put them aside.

None of the people present had seen such an old-fashioned act, the palace maids all covered their mouths and smiled, and Zhuang Gong asked with a blank face: "Yingfengren, what are you doing here?" Is there a lack of meat to eat at home? ”

Uncle Ying Kao said: "The Chen family has an old mother. She had never eaten the food that the king had given her, so I had to bring it back to my mother to taste. ”

Zhuang Gong put down his chopsticks and sighed: "You can still bring meat to the old mother, but the widow can't!" ”

Uncle Ying Kao asked knowingly: "You are the monarch of a country, where is there anything that you can't do?" ”

Zhuang Gong said: "The widow said to his mother at that time: 'It's not as good as Huangquan, and there is no meeting!'" Now the widow regrets it very much, but he does not know how to take back what he has said. ”

Uncle Ying Kao said: "This is not difficult, the minister must invite the lord and mother and son to meet within a month." ”

After Uncle Yingkao left, some good people began to discuss whether he had the idea of killing the king.

After returning to the city, Uncle Ying Kao immediately ordered someone to dig a tunnel diagonally downward, and the depth of the tunnel reached the underground spring. Workers have carved out a small chamber at the end of the tunnel, with a spring bubbling through the ground. After the project was completed, Uncle Ying Kao invited Wu Jiang into the small room, and then asked Zheng Zhuanggong and his mother to meet.

Mother and son had mixed feelings when they saw each other, the two hugged each other and cried loudly, and the previous grudge disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Wu Jiang's dislike of Zheng Zhuanggong stems from the fallacy of that "Kemu", and then he hates his cowardly appearance. When she was under house arrest, she kept reflecting, and one day she suddenly realized that she had been a mother for more than 30 years, but she didn't know her son at all. She thought she was smart, but she was played around by her "stupid and cowardly" son; And she always thought that Uncle Duan, who was smart and wise, brave and resolute, had no power to fight back in front of Kou Sheng.

She didn't dare to imagine what kind of cruel revenge Zheng Zhuanggong would take on herself and her uncle once he won. But until the end, Zhuang Gong did not kill his brother and himself. So what is the meaning of the "gram" that the wizard said? If today's predicament is the result of "grams", then isn't the cause of one's own making?

You know, once people look at the strong from the perspective of the weak, then they will find that many of the previous conclusions are wrong. In this way, Wu Jiang was really heartbroken and regretted.

The mother and son walked out of the tunnel hand in hand, and Zheng Zhuanggong improvised a poem: "In the great sui, the joy is also harmonious!" ”

Wu Jiang Fu said: "In addition to the big sui, the fun is also vented!" ”

The gentleman of later generations (probably Confucius) said: "Uncle Ying Kao is really a pure and filial person, and his love for his mother actually benefits Zheng Zhuanggong!" The Book of Songs says: "Filial piety is not scarce, and eternal gifts." That's him! ”
