In the spring of the first year of Lu Huan (BC711), the envoys of Lu left Qufu one after another to report the news of Lu Yingong's death to various allied countries. Zheng Zhuanggong was deeply shocked by this, and he first expressed his condolences for the murder of Yin Gong, condemned the murderer's atrocities, and then congratulated the new monarch on his accession to the throne.

After the ceremonial cliché was finished, Zheng Zhuanggong said some yin and yang strange words, to the effect that whether the hidden prince lived or died, it must be in the interests of Zheng Guo, otherwise wouldn't he die in vain? Zheng Guo's attitude towards Lu Guo depends entirely on whether his successor can complete the unfinished business of his predecessors, and the question of land swap between the two countries is in front of him. If the Hidden Gong is still in power, the problem can be solved this year; Yitian has built the temple of Zhou Gong, and the Son of Heaven no longer sacrifices to Mount Tai, so the Lu people can resume the sacrifice to Zhou Gong when they obtain Qitian; If Lu Guo still feels that he is at a loss on the issue of changing land, Zheng Guo can offer another piece of treasure.

The envoy replied that he had received an order from the new monarch before the mission, and that the new monarch had asked him to agree with Zheng Bo on the matter of the exchange of land between the two countries, and that Lu Hou invited Zheng Bo to meet in early summer to discuss the issue of the continued development of relations between the two countries. In conclusion, Lu Envoy emphasized that Zheng Bo was the first monarch of another country to meet after the new monarch ascended the throne, and the new monarch used this way to express his respect for Zheng Bo and the importance he attached to the relations between the two countries.

Zheng Zhuanggong was satisfied with the position of the new monarch of Lu State, and the Lu envoy successfully completed the diplomatic task and returned to China to resume his life.

In the summer of April, Zheng Zhuang Gong and Lu Huan met as agreed in the opera (that is, Yue Opera Fang). Since Duke Lu Huan never left the state of Lu, and Duke Zheng Zhuang never went to the state of Lu, this became the first meeting between the monarchs of the two countries.

What Zheng Zhuanggong saw was a tall and thin young man, who had been cowering in his heart after years of repressive life, his face was gloomy, and his conversation was cautious. Duke Lu Huan does not have the aura of the king of a country, but is like a child who follows the monarch on a visit; And Gongzi Hui was talking and laughing beside him, and he didn't take the young Xinjun in his eyes at all.

The two monarchs reviewed the covenant of the Yin Gong period and decided to continue to promote the development of the alliance between the two countries. Finally, the monarchs of both sides performed a bloody ceremony and signed the covenant for the exchange of land.

The people of Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, because as long as Zheng Zhuanggong did not make trouble, no one would pursue the crimes of the murderers. And Zheng Zhuanggong has already obtained the benefit he wants, as for whether this benefit is obtained from the victim or from the perpetrator, what difference does it make? If greater benefits can be obtained, Zheng Zhuang Gong doesn't care about the death of a few more foreigners!

Gongzi Hui not only did not receive any punishment for committing heinous crimes, but instead seized huge power through crimes. This incident made people realize that a coup d'état turned out to be the simplest and most effective means of seizing state power. Doctors with the same ambitions began to stir up the motions of the nations—one of them was the Song Kingdom's Dazai Huadu.

Hua Du is the grandson of Song Dai Gong and the ancestor of Hua. His position was not undignified, his power was not enormous, and his blood ties to the Duke of Song were not insignificant, but he was still worried and dissatisfied with his situation, because he was not trusted by the monarch.

Hua Tu's political opponent was the great Sima Kong Fujia. Kong Fujia is the fifth grandson of the Duke of Song, the minister of the first duke, and his family is ancient and powerful. Kong Fujia inherited the noble qualities of loyalty, simplicity and modesty left by his father; Whether in the public office or among the people, his prestige has overshadowed that of the Chinese Governor.

However, the political and metallurgical environment in which Confucius and Zhengkao's father lived were different: the first monarch of the Song Kingdom cherished the people's livelihood and shared the same desires with the people, while Song Yangong not only liked to compete with the people for profit, but also regarded human life as a mustard. In order to eliminate Gongzi Feng, he fought eleven wars with Zheng Guo in ten years. The country's civilian strength is withering, countless people have been killed, wounded, and captured, and the people of the country are suffering unspeakably.

The Chinese people once hoped that Confucius would stop the tyrant from continuing to brutalize Sheji, but his foolish loyalty made the Chinese people gradually lose their expectations and trust in him.

Hua Tu seized the opportunity to appear as a slackluster who worried about the country and the people (because he did not dare to openly oppose the war) and vigorously helped those who had been damaged by the war. Gradually, he gained a reputation for benevolence, and his supporters grew.

At the end of the year, Song Yangong was planning the war plan for the next year, and Hua Tu was routinely excluded from the formulators. Feeling both fortunate and disappointed, Hua Tu wandered the streets with nothing to do. On this day, when he was walking near the door of Kong Fatherjia's house, he suddenly saw a stunning woman walking towards him accompanied by several maids.

Hua Du greeted her without blinking, and watched her go, watching her walk into Kong's house. His attendant told him that the woman was Confucius's wife, and Hua Tu swallowed and said, "It's so beautiful that it's bubbling." ”

From then on, Huadu forgot about state affairs, forgot about feasting and drinking, forgot about field hunting, and concentrated on shrinking at home to commit his lovesickness. He was drowsy during the day and tossed and turned at night; He did not seek treatment, but actively pursued the result of the aggravation of his condition, and immersed himself in endless thoughts.

Because she was the wife of a political enemy, his hatred of Kong Fujia became even stronger. In the midst of love and hatred, he finally made up his mind to get rid of Kong and seize his power, women, and property.
