The bad guy mentioned above is the son of Wei Zhuang Gong - Gongzi Zhouhu.

Back then, Duke Wei Zhuang married Duke Qi's sister Zhuang Jiang as his wife. That Princess Zhuang Jiang was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time, and her father Qi Zhuang called her "wise and sensitive".

The patriots wrote a poem called "Shuoren", using the most beautiful words to praise her beauty and nobility. The poem reads: "The man is very good, and he is dressed in fine clothes." The son of the Marquis of Qi and the wife of the Marquis of Wei. The sister of the East Palace, the aunt of Xing Hou, Tan Gongwei is private. The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like a moth eyebrows, the smile is clever, and the eyes are beautiful. In this way, a picture of a beautiful woman that has been passed down through the ages is depicted.

But Mrs. Zhuang did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. Duke Wei Zhuang later married a wife in Chen State, and Chen Concubine gave birth to the crown prince and the son of Zhou. Zhuang Jiang loves the prince very much, she takes the prince with her, raises and educates him like a mother, and treats him as her own; On the contrary, she was very disgusted with Zhou Hu, and never looked at him with a straight eye.

It turns out that Gongzi Zhouhu has been a naughty child and troublemaker since he was a child, and after a few years, he grew into a troubled teenager, and finally degenerated into a delinquent youth. He liked to do anything violent and bloody, and he often forced his slaves to fight to the death, or to fight beasts of prey; Sometimes he even lured his friends into gladiatorial fights. But Wei Zhuang never disciplined him, but gave him some strong slaves—he favored Zhou Hu more than the crown prince.

Doctor Shi Jie was an upright man, and when he saw that Zhou Hu was gradually expanding his evil power, his heart was full of anxiety, so he advised Wei Zhuang to be fair: "I heard that the father will teach his son righteousness, so that he will not be corrupted by evil. Arrogance and indulgence are all evils that breed in the heart, and the reason for breeding is because of excessive pampering.

"It is extremely rare in the world to be favored but not proud, proud and able to retreat, retreat without regrets, and regret and be able to restrain themselves. The minister did not think that the state was more favored than the prince, but he could be willing to be in the lower position.

"The minister heard that the cheap and noble, the young tomb long, the distant relatives, the new and the old, the small and the large, and the obscene and righteous are called the six reverses; Righteousness, courtiers, fatherly kindness, filial piety, brotherly love, and younger brother respect are called the six shuns, and betraying obedience and disobedience will lead to disaster. There are six adversities in the state and none of them are smooth, and I am afraid that a catastrophe is just around the corner. So if you're going to make a state, decide early; Otherwise, reduce his treatment and regulate his behavior. How can it be that a ruler has done everything to eliminate evil, but what a prince has done is causing trouble? ”

But Zhuang Gong's stubborn ears just couldn't listen to these bitter words.

Shi Jie has a son named Shi Hou, who has played with Zhou Hou since childhood, fallen together, inseparable, and is like brothers. Shi Jie repeatedly warned his son to stay away from the state, saying that if he was in close contact with that dangerous person, he would be killed. But where can mere verbal warnings help?

Later, in order to prevent the two from being together, Shi Jie took extreme measures - detaining his son at home. But all means were in vain, Shi Hou could always find a way to escape, and he finally hid in Zhouhu's house, refusing to come out no matter how Shi Jie's persuasion and threats were.

After the death of Duke Wei Zhuang, the crown prince was established as Duke Wei Huan. The old monarch died, and Shi Jie knew that he could not control the situation, so he returned to his hometown. For more than ten years, Zhou Hu has been coveting the throne of the monarch, hoping that when the time comes, he will immediately kill the monarch and seize the throne.

The thirteenth year of Duke Wei Huan entered the Spring and Autumn Period. Uncle Zheng Duan failed to make a rebellion, and his son Gongsun slipped and defected to Weizhou, and Uncle Duan also came to Weiguo after many transfers.

Shi Hou said to the state: "This man can be used by us, and we must not make him run away from other places." ”

The state was reluctant to share his wealth with others (taking in Uncle Tai would give him a lot of benefits), so he said: "He is nothing but a rebel and thief who has failed to make trouble." ”

Shi Hou said: "We are also (rebels and thieves)!" If we can understand how he failed and learn from his lessons, we have a very good chance of success. ”

Zhou Hu felt justified, so he followed Shi Hou's suggestion, treated Uncle Tai as a guest, and gave him a piece of land from his own estate.

One day, Uncle Duan and Zhou Hu chatted and said: "Even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is better to have a sharp sword." I always thought that I should defeat Kou Sheng on the battlefield, but that idea now seems wrong. If I had recruited a few dead soldiers who were not whirling to the death to assassinate Kou Sheng, I am afraid that I would have become the new monarch of Zheng Guo long ago! He thanked Uncle Tai and promised to help Uncle Tai seize the throne once he became Wei Jun.

In the spring of the fourth year of Duke Lu Yin, Duke Wei Huan was about to go to the Chengzhou Dynasty to see the Son of Heaven, and the state called for a banquet in the suburbs to see him off - this send-off sent him to the Western Heavens. It turned out that the state had recruited two dead soldiers and ordered them to follow him. The banquet went on for a while, and the state called for an excuse to urinate and urinate; The two outlaws suddenly attacked Wei Huan Gong and stabbed him to death in an instant. Zhou Hu hurriedly broke into the palace to kill the sons of Duke Wei Huan, and then wiped the blood stains on the sword, and before he even had time to change out of the bloodstained dress, he entered the Taimiao surrounded by a group of rebellious ministers and thieves, and trampled on the throne under the gaze of the spirit of heaven.

Wei Huangong's funeral rites were also extremely unorthodox: Wei put his body in a thin-skinned coffin, dug a random pit in the southern suburbs, and buried him in this way.

The murder of Wei Hou caused an uproar in the country: although Wei Huan was weak and was ridiculed by the princes and spurned by the countrymen because of his fear of war (Zheng Zhuang Gong and Wang Shi Defeating Wei), he was not guilty of capital crimes; Nor did the people of the country hate him to the point where they had to overthrow the current regime. And people think: even if Wei Huan Gong dies, it will not be the turn of Zhou Hu to ascend the throne.
