Since Zheng Ligong ascended the throne, the power of the office has been held in the hands of the sacrificial foot. With the passage of time, the sacrificial foot became more and more arbitrary, and it had reached the point where Zheng Ligong could not do anything without his orders. If he does not go to court, there will be no one in the official office to handle official business; Wherever he went, he was always followed by a large number of officials and retinues; He made alliances with the princes without permission, and the scale of the honor guard was equal to that of the monarch.

The original official position of the sacrificial foot was the sacrificial person, and the status was the same as that of Uncle Yingkao. He was later appreciated by Zheng Wugong and was promoted to a high position; He married his wife Deng Man for Zhuang Gong, and Deng Man gave birth to the crown prince Hu. During the Zhuang Gong period, Saizu maintained a close relationship with the prince, so he was regarded as the leading figure of the princelings.

Zheng Ligong knew that history very well, so he didn't trust the sacrificial foot. On the other hand, Saizu did secretly maintain contact with Zheng Zhaogong, and in this regard, he did not fail to try to put the exile on the throne again. As a result, Li Gong's resentment towards the sacrificial foot became deeper and deeper.

As the son-in-law of the sacrificial foot, Yongjie is not of the same heart and mind as his father-in-law, but he is loyal to Li Gong; Saizu was angry with Yong because he had been kidnapped by his son-in-law.

Li Gong complained to Yongjiao, saying that he was like a puppet to be sacrificed and fiddled, and in the long run, the Sheji established by the three generations of monarchs of Zheng Guo will change its surname to the sacrificial name! Yongjie expressed the same concern, and he was even more worried about his safety. The two thought that as long as they lived in the world, they would be their greatest scourge, so they decided to join forces to get rid of the sacrificial feet.

Their plan was to have Yongjie set up a banquet in the suburbs to entertain Saizu, and then kill him when the defense forces around Saizu were insufficient. The assassination plan had been made, and both men had a lot of alcohol and were chatting excitedly. The drinking party lasted until late at night, and Yongjie was in a very good mood, humming a little song all the way back home.

Yongjie's wife, Yongji, has been sitting in the main hall, patiently and quietly waiting for her husband to come home. She noticed that her husband had reversed his preoccupied and taciturn normality, and instead chattered and chattered, which seemed very happy.

As the daughter of the sacrificial foot, she has a particularly keen political sense, so she twists and turns her husband's words, and Yongjie tells her everything in a delirious and impulsive way.

The next day, Yong Ji slipped to her mother while her husband was in court and asked, "Which one is closer to my father and my husband?" The mother said, "There is no one man, but there is only one father; How can a husband be worthy of being compared to a father? ”

When she heard this, she immediately went to see the priest, knelt before him, and said, "Your son-in-law is going to give you a banquet, but he has abandoned his home and arranged the place in the suburbs. The daughter was a little worried, so she rushed to inform her father. ”

One day in the summer of May, Yongjie came to visit his father-in-law. Yongjie said that he found a picturesque place near Zhou's Zhiwang (a pond outside the orange gate) and built a villa there; I want to invite my father-in-law to go on an outing and set up a banquet in the villa.

"If you had asked me beforehand, I would have prevented you from building a villa there." Don't you know? It's a snake's den, so you have to be safe there! ”

Yongjie had never heard of such a thing, and he couldn't answer. Saizu said: "It's true, if I don't tell you, I'll hurt my own son-in-law." ”

Yongjie left his father-in-law's house and immediately went to see Zheng Ligong, and told Zheng Ligong what he said. Zheng Ligong's face suddenly sank, and he asked, "Have you revealed your plan to anyone?" ”

Yongjie said: "The Ji family seems to know. ”

Zheng Ligong said with a heavy face: "Saizu was born in the Wang area of the Zhou family. He once said that when he was still an infant, several rats crawled on him and gnawed at his flesh - the notch in his ear was gnawed by rats, and a giant snake ate the rats and coiled around him to protect him. You don't want to stay in the city, go to the Zhou Wang now. Don't hesitate to see him on a cloudy day, and do it immediately. ”

The next day, he led a team of musicians and servants to his son-in-law's villa, and Yongjie led the crowd to stand in front of the door to greet his father-in-law with a smile on his face. Yongjie walked up to the sacrificial foot and was about to salute (this is the signal to move), when the guards beside the sacrificial foot suddenly took action to kidnap Yongjiao, and the musician and the servant quickly drew their weapons and ripped off their coats, revealing their close-fitting leather armor.

The chief of the guard, Qiang Jie, led the armor soldiers to break through the main entrance, and a large number of clan armor arranged by Yongjie were hidden in the villa. Seeing that their master was already under control, the warriors threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Saizu dragged Yongjie to the edge of the pond and asked, "How many days can the old man live?" Don't you even have the patience to wait until I die? ”

Yongjie's expression was very serious, and he replied, "If you usurp the monarchy, you must be punished while you are alive!" How can I still tolerate you to death?! ”

Furious, he stabbed him to death and threw his body into the Zhou Wang. At this time, on the elm tree by the edge of the pond, I knew that I was desperately calling for summer.

Zheng Ligong closely watched the development of the situation, and as soon as he received the news that the conspiracy had been revealed, he immediately drove out of the gate of the orange tree. On the way, he came across a procession of foot sacrifices. The sacrificial foot ordered his entourage to put away their weapons and flash on both sides of the road to make way for Li Gong.

Li Gong still maintained the noble posture of a monarch, he stopped and raised his head, looked down at the sacrificial feet, and asked, "Where is the correction?" He said, "Right where he is going to murder the old minister." After speaking, the two looked at each other coldly, and Li Gong slowly passed through the array.

When Li Gong came to Zhou's Wang, he saw Yongjie's body floating on the water, and the surrounding water surface was dyed red. Li Gong jumped out of the chariot and into the pond, dragged his body into the cart and scolded: "Conspiracy woman, it is strange that you will not die!" After saying that, he fled to Cai Guo.

Saizu sent an envoy to Wei Guo to greet Zheng Zhaogong. In June, Zheng Zhaogong returned to China and was reinstated.

There is a big city called "oak" in the southwest of Xinzheng. This city was built for Gongzi Tu during the reign of Zheng Zhuang Gong. After Zheng Ligong ascended the throne, he regarded the oak as the capital of the country, and he expanded the size of the city and strengthened the city walls.

After Zheng Ligong went into exile, Saizu immediately removed the position of the oak doctor and sent his henchman Tan Bo to the oak to serve as a doctor.

The people of Liyi have always received special care from Li Gong, so they miss him very much. People turned their feelings for Li Gong into resentment towards Tan Bo. Tan Bo is also very aware of the emotions of the oak people, but he is a figure known for his iron fist to Zheng Guo; Instead of adopting a gentle method of governance, he adopted harsh methods of rule. This method greatly intensified the contradiction between the oak and the office.

Zheng Ligong has been paying attention to the movements of Liyi during his time in Cai Guo, and the Ligong people in Liyi have also passed on the news to him one after another. When he learns that the people are still loyal to him and can't stand the oppressive rule, he decides to take it back.

In September, Zheng Ligong infiltrated Liyi under the protection of the Cai people, and he led the locals to stage a coup d'état to kill Tan Bo and seize the rule of the city. In this way, Zheng Ligong seized Liyi and fought against Xinzheng. Zheng Guo split again twenty-six years after Zheng Zhuang Gong unified the country.
