Chapter 63 Lu Zhuang Gong was born
After retreating to the north bank of Jishui, Shan Rong did not return home, but wandered around the lower reaches of Jishui, doing the business of robbing houses and houses, and crossing the river again from time to time to harass the Qi State.
The people of Qi were unable to defend themselves, so at the request of the Duke of Qi, Song, Wei, Lu and other countries each sent troops to Qi to defend the city. In order to express his gratitude, Qi Xigong specially prepared cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and grains and other condolences for the armies of other countries.
The Duke of Qi entrusted the people of Lu to give gifts to the armies of various countries on their behalf, and the people of Lu who were full of nobility and humility distributed them according to the titles of the countries. Zheng Guo is a count-level country, ranking behind Song and Wei; However, the crown prince suddenly believed that Zheng Jun was the first hero to fight against Shanjung and should be ranked first. He was unwilling to live behind the countries that enjoyed it, and as a result, he had a dispute with the presenter.
But the Lu people were very stubborn and insisted on not changing the original order. Later, he said to people in private: "I am really not innocent: since Prince Zheng rejected the princess of Qi State, what are you fighting with the princes about those animals. The crown prince was furious, so he launched an attack on the state of Lu four years later.
Shanjung did not return to his lair until after autumn. Duke Qi also counted the account of Shanrong on the head of Ji Hou (as long as Duke Qi encountered unpleasant things, he would record it on the head of the old enemy), and continued to prepare for war, and the scale and momentum were getting bigger and bigger.
The Marquis of Ji is white, and it is impossible for any prince to ease the relationship between the State of Ji and the State of Qi. He placed the final bet on King Zhou Huan; Ji Hou went to Lu again and asked Lu Huan if he could ask the Son of Heaven to mediate.
Lu Huangong said: "Impossible. The Son of Heaven could not conquer Zheng by force, so how could he persuade Qi with words? Moreover, the Son of Heaven will not grudge against Qi for the sake of Ji State. However, the Son of Heaven is newly widowed, and he has not yet accepted the queen; If you have a good princess, you can run it. ”
Ji Hou suddenly became enlightened, and he tried his best to grasp the last straw. Soon, he married one of the best princesses in training to King Zhou Huan. However, this straw could not save Ji Guo, and the country was finally destroyed by Qi State.
On September 24, the eldest son of Lu Huan was born, and the people of Lu used the highest standard of etiquette and the ceremony of the prison to tell the ancestors to welcome the birth of this baby.
After the temple ceremony was completed, people returned to the palace to hold a naming ceremony for the crown prince. Duke Lu Huan and his wife Wen Jiang stood on the steps on the east side, with several doctors standing behind them; Surrounded by a group of high-ranking women, a noblewoman of the office slowly walked up the west steps with her baby in her arms and asked Duke Huan to name the crown prince.
Duke Huan turned his head and asked the doctor what rules there were for naming the prince.
The gentleman replied, "There are five ways to name one: with a birthmark, by listening to its voice, and by the name of the sound of the law (e.g., son-in-law); Named after the word of virtue is called righteousness (such as Ji Chang); Named after something similar is called an image (e.g., Kongqiu); The name of the item is false (the meaning of falsehood, such as 郤錡); Named after the paternal resemblance is called a class.
"But you can't use the name of a country, you can't use an official name, you can't use the name of a mountain, a disease, a livestock, or a utensil. The Zhou people sacrificed to the gods to avoid the name of the ancestors, so the name of the country was abolished, the official name was abolished, the name of the mountain was abolished, and the name of the utensils was abolished.
"The name of the Marquis of Jin is Situ, so the Jin State changed Situ to the Chinese army; Song Wu's official name was Sikong, so the Song State changed Sikong to Sicheng; The first monarch offered the name of the public and the name of the martial artist, so the Lu country abolished the names of the two mountains, and the Lu people could only respond with the name of the township where they were located when talking to foreigners. Therefore, large objects cannot be named by the above names. ”
Huan Gong said: "His birthday is the same as that of the widow, so let's call him 'Tong'!" ”
This child was the later Lu Zhuang Gong.
