Although Lu Yingong has succeeded to the throne for five years, the state power has always been held by his uncles, and he is just a small puppet in the hands of powerful ministers. For a while, Yin Gong almost suffered from mania, and he didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, just wanted to avoid those domineering ministers. Later, he heard that a grand fishing ceremony was going to be held in Tangdi, so he prepared to go there to relax.

But his other uncle, Gongzi Yan (Zang Xibo), came to bother him again, and this uncle was the only one who cared about Lu Yingong, who treated him like his own father; But this uncle is good at everything, but he is too nagging.

"If something can't be used in rituals and wars, and can't be made into ritual and weaponry, the monarch won't pay attention to it. The monarch should set an example for the people, and if he does not act in accordance with the etiquette and law, it will lead to chaos; If there is constant chaos, the country will fail.

Therefore, the Zhou rites stipulate that spring harvesting, summer seedlings, autumn hunting, and winter hunting should be carried out during the interval between agricultural affairs, and used to teach martial arts; Every three years, the army conducts large-scale exercises, reinvigorates the brigades (equivalent to a triumphal ceremony) to achieve victory, rewards sergeants when entering the city, and counts prisoners of war and brine cargo. The monarch showed the people the flag of the car uniform through the training of martial arts, so as to achieve the purpose of distinguishing the noble and the lowly, distinguishing the ranks, following the young and the elders, and learning the prestige.

"If the carcasses of birds and beasts could not be used for sacrifices, and leather, teeth, bones, horns, and feathers could not be used to make utensils, then the monarch would not hunt them - this is the ancient system. As for the matter of woodmining and fishing, the low-ranking officials were responsible, and it was not something that the prince should consider. ”

Yin Gong said: "The widow just wants to inspect the land, not to watch the fishing. He also invited Gongzi Yan to go with him, and Gongzi Yan exhaled heavily and said, "The minister can't do what he opposes." ”

On the 29th day of the twelfth month of winter, Lu Yingong was still watching fishing in Tangdi, and Gongzi Yan died in Qufu. When he received the bad news, he couldn't help beating his chest, showing even more grief than when his father died. He said: "Uncle has a regret for the widow, and he can't let go of it until he dies, and the widow doesn't dare to forget it!" He then ordered his funeral to be raised to a higher level.

After the death of Lu Huigong, the royal family did something quite puzzling. It turned out that according to the regulations of the Zhou rites: the Son of Heaven was buried seven months after his death, and all the princes of the world came to mourn; The princes were buried five months after their deaths, and the Sovereigns of the Confederates came to mourn; The doctor died three months ago and was buried, and his colleagues mourned; Shi was buried in a month, and his in-laws were mourned.

But when the envoy of the dynasty came to deliver Lu Huigong's funeral goods, Huigong had been dead for more than a year and had already been buried. What's even more outrageous is that the envoys also brought Mrs. Hui's funeral goods by the way, and Mrs. Hui was still living well in the world at that time!

The people of Lu believed that this action was a vicious curse on Mrs. Hui and an insult and slander to the office; As a result, Lu Guo and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had a rather unpleasant quarrel during that time.

When King Zhou Ping died (the third year of the Yin Gong), the people of Lu were still angry and deliberately did not send an envoy to attend the funeral. But Lu Ren didn't expect that the royal doctor would come to ask for the funeral goods with a shy face. This stingy and incompetent move was also ridiculed by the Lu people.

It turned out that according to the provisions of the "Zhou Li", even if the vassal states did not pull out a dime, the royal family could not forcibly ask for it. This incident has also become a typical manifestation of the decline of the royal family: the royal family has always used force to solve the problem of offending Tianwei without exception.

Duchess Hui died shortly after the death of King Zhou Ping, and Duke Yin built a temple for her. After the temple is completed, a sacrificial ceremony is held, during which the "Wan" dance is offered to the temple. Yin Gong asked the doctor Zhongzhong about the specifications of the number of dancers performing "Ten Thousand", and Zhongzhong said: "The Son of Heaven uses eight hundred dancers (eight dancers), six princes, four doctors, and two scholars. ”

The "Wan" dance is divided into two types: Wen and Wu, the dancer of the Wen Dance holds musical instruments and feathers, and the Wu Dance holds a spear and blade. This performance is a cultural dance, known as the "first offering of six feathers" in history.

During the reign of Lu Zhaogong, Ji Pingzi used the etiquette of the Son of Heaven to perform the "Wan" dance at home, so Confucius issued an angry denunciation of "Eight Hundred Dances in the Court, which is tolerable and unbearable".

The Song and Yi kingdoms were adjacent to each other, and border disputes often occurred between the two countries. In this year, the Song State seized a lot of land in the State of Yi, and the seized land was full of crops and was about to be harvested. Di was a small viscount and could not fight against the powerful Song State; The people had the intention to kill the enemy but were unable to return to the sky, so they had to run to Zheng Guo for help.

Zheng Zhuanggong was very happy to find the bad luck of the Song people, and he not only happily promised to be a teacher, but also decided to raise the level of revenge to a higher level. As a result, Zheng Zhuanggong found an excuse to transfer Wang Shi out (Zheng Zhuanggong is still Zhou Huan Wang Qingshi, and he has a certain amount of military power). Seeing that the coalition army was menacing, the Song people actively organized preparations for war while sending envoys to Lu to ask for help. However, the armies of Zheng, Zhou, and Di came quite quickly, and the enemy army was like a bamboo, and captured the outer city of Shangqiu City in one fell swoop.

Lu Yingong had already prepared to send troops before the arrival of the Song envoy. He asked the envoy how the battle was going, which was supposed to be a procedural question, but the envoy lied that the coalition forces had not yet entered the Song border.

The reason why the envoy did not dare to report the truth may have been because he was afraid that the Yin Gong would think that the defeat of the Song State was a foregone conclusion, so he was reluctant to send troops. But this clever lie had the opposite effect, it turned out that Yin Gong had received the news of the destruction of the outer city of the Song capital before the arrival of the envoy. He was outraged by the messenger's lies—he could not tolerate deception to get his help.

Yin Gong then replied: "Song Jun ordered the widow to share the difficulties of the society with the Song State, and the widow did not dare to disobey his fate. Now that the outer city of Shangqiu has been broken, the envoy of the great power told the widow that the coalition army had not entered. These are not things that few people dare to know, so you better go back! ”

This diplomatic incident has caused a new rift in Luzon relations, which have just been repaired.

The coalition forces plundered and then returned home. Subsequently, the Song State retaliated against the Zheng State, and the Song army surrounded and captured Changge.
