Zheng Zhuang Gong wanted to give the land of Xu Guo to the people of Qi State, but Qi Gong was well aware of Zheng Bo's hypocrisy; He believes that Zheng Bo has made so many years of preparations, spent so many costs, and sacrificed so many interests, and his purpose is to annex Xu.

Duke Qi pretended not to know what Gong Zheng Zhuang was thinking, he wanted to create a little contradiction between Lu and Zheng, so he gave Xu Guo to Duke Lu Yin after a little excuse.

Because Lu Guo had been very richly rewarded in the war against the Song Dynasty last year, and Lu Yingong also saw clearly the small calculations in the hearts of Zheng and Qi. So although Gongzi Fei was frowning at him and jumping in a hurry, Lu Yingong still pretended not to see him, and said to Zheng Zhuanggong: "You said that Xu Nan disrespected the king's order, so the widow followed you to crusade." Now that Xu Guo has been punished, although you have issued an order to assign Xu Guo to Lu State, the widow will not dare to obey it. ”

As a result, Xu Guo was owned by Zheng Guo. Zheng Bo believes that although Xu has been occupied, the strength of the Chinese people is still very strong. The people of Xu did not hate their monarch, but they hated the invaders very much. It is also impossible for Zheng Guo to station a large army here for a long time to maintain high-pressure control.

In this case, Zheng Zhuang Gong believed that the smelting of Xu Guo still relied on the people of Xu Guo, and he only needed to control the rulers of Xu State.

Xu Zhuanggong's younger brothers, Uncle Xu, and Doctor Baili were both virtuous men with high prestige, and most importantly they adopted a cooperative attitude towards the invaders, and as a result, these two men were selected as the smelters of the Xu State.

Uncle Zheng ordered Baili to assist Uncle Xu to live on the east side of Xu Guo, and he said to Baili: "Heaven has sent disaster to Xu Guo, and the ghosts and gods do not bless Xu Jun, so he came to punish him with a false hand." But the widow can't share the country with his brothers, so how can he dare to call himself the ruler of the country?

"The widow has a brother and uncle, but he cannot live in peace with him; Shu Duan is still in exile until now, living a life of begging for food, how can the widow occupy the country of Xu for a long time? Therefore, the widow asks you to assist Uncle Xu and the people.

"After the widow enters the earth, God has forgiven Xu Guo's crimes, so what can Xu Jun not do if he returns to the country? The widow cannot tolerate any country to persecute our country and compete with our country for the land of Xu (Duke Qi and Duke Lu Yin are still very wise). If the worries of the widows become a reality, the descendants of the Zheng people will have no time to protect themselves, and where can they continue the sacrifice of the Xu Kingdom? The widow asked you to assist Uncle Xu not only to manage Xu Guo, but also to consolidate Zheng Guo's borders! ”

After that, Uncle Zheng ordered his nephew Gongsun to live on the west side of Xu Guo, and instructed him: "Don't put the treasures and treasures in the family in Xu Guo, and you must leave immediately when you hear the news of my death, and don't bring any baggage."

"At the beginning of Zheng's founding, the royal family began to decline, the descendants of the surname Ji lost their status in the world, and the order of the princes became increasingly chaotic. Xu Guo is a descendant of Siyue, since the heavens are tired of the Zhou people, how can we compete with Xu? ”

After Zheng Zhuanggong arranged the big things, he began to take care of Uncle Yingkao's funeral. Uncle Ying Kao's death made him very sad, and he personally buried Uncle Ying Kao. Zheng Zhuanggong saw him killed by an arrow fired from the besieging army, and he vowed to find the murderer no matter what, and to have him broken into pieces.

The murder weapon was presented to Uncle Zheng, who immediately recognized it as Gongsun Yan's arrow, and several soldiers also came forward to testify that they had witnessed Gongsun Yan's cruel acts. Zheng Zhuanggong was even more sad when he was angry: because of personal grudges and jealousy, this murderer did not hesitate to shoot the doctor and his own brother in robes in front of all the soldiers! This is blatant treason!

However, due to the relationship between Gongzi Lu, Zheng Zhuanggong could not punish the cousin who was not angry, and he finally made a wrong choice in the face of right and wrong.

Contrary to his will, Zhuang Gong announced that he had not found any clues about the murderer, and said that until now, the only way to punish the murderer was to use the magic of gods and witchcraft. Zheng Zhuanggong gathered the army and held a curse ceremony in front of Uncle Yingkao's coffin, and as a result, a farce of chicken blood, dog blood, and pig blood was staged.

The Grand Wizard appeared in a black cloak and with his assistants. The great wizard was originally a well-known dancer, but later found that he had the ability to "master yin and yang, through the past and the present", so he changed his career and started to make a living as a god stick. He incorporated exaggerated dance moves and mysterious ancient witch music into the rituals and threw himself into them.

Because the curses issued by the sorcerers were too vicious (they didn't know the inside story, they just wanted to curry favor with Zheng Zhuanggong), the ritual was too bloody, the music was too shocking, and the wind suddenly rose at this time, and the bright sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and people had visual and auditory hallucinations.

Those present even heard the corpse lying in the coffin with a low curse: "The one who killed me!" I won't name you! For I will take revenge on you personally, and you will lose your mind and die! As a result, some of them fainted on the spot because of great fear, and Gongsun Yan felt like a man on his back, his soul was scattered, and his whole body trembled almost uncontrollably, and he barely lasted until the end of the ceremony, and when he returned home, he went mad, and died soon after.

Zhuang Gong's move was widely ridiculed and resented, and he did not save Gongsun Yan's life in the end. If it weren't for this farce, his career as a ruler could be said to be flawless. Later generations of gentlemen said: "Zheng Zhuang Gong lost his government (the politician is also right) and punished!" Those who rule the ruler use righteousness to govern the state, and punish evil with punishment. He lacks both virtue and political authority in this matter, and has lost his criminal authority, which can be called a depravity! What's the use of cursing others when you're deceitful?! ”

After Zheng Zhuang returned to China, King Huan of Zhou sent a delegation to Zheng Guo. The head of the mission brought an order that the Son of Heaven had decided to exchange the twelve cities that the previous king had originally given to Su Chensheng for four pieces of land belonging to the Zheng state.

On the face of it, Zheng Guo gained a much larger area of land than he lost; In reality, most of the royal lands were located north of the Yellow River, and they were invaded by Lirong and other nomads, or had already been occupied by Rongdi. King Huan just dumped the cities that the royal family could not control to Zheng Guo at will, and he exchanged the land for the rich areas of Zheng Guo.

Zheng Ren was outraged by King Zhou Huan's shameless act of "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you". As soon as the royal envoy left, Zheng Guo was ready to look for Song Guo's bad luck again. But the Zheng people have not yet sent out their divisions, and Xi Guo's army has come to trouble Zheng Guo again.
