In the southwest of present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi, there is a place called "Jinyang" in ancient times. Legend has it that this place was once the capital of the Xia Dynasty; During the Shang Dynasty, it became the capital of the ancient Tang Dynasty. The surname of the ancient Tang Kingdom was Qi, and the founding monarch was a descendant of Di Yao. The Tang people later moved the capital south to the west of Jicheng, Shanxi. After the establishment of the Western Zhou regime, the Tang people disrespected the king's orders and united Rong Di to confront the Western Zhou, and King Cheng of Zhou sent out his army to destroy the ancient Tang Kingdom.

Later, King Zhou Cheng sealed his younger brother Shu Yu in the hometown of Tang State, and the country name was still "Tang". In order to distinguish the Tang Kingdom surnamed Ji from the ancient Tang Kingdom surnamed Qi, Shuyu's son Xie's father changed the name of the country to "Jin" in the name of Kuching Water.

When King Cheng of Zhou was feudal in the Tang Dynasty, he migrated the nine major clans belonging to the Kui surname of the Guifang (the predecessor of Chidi) clan and some of the remnants of the Yin Shang to the Tang Dynasty to enrich the country's population. The hometown of the Tang Kingdom was originally a mixed place of Huayi, but now it has joined the Zhou, Guifang and merchants, so it has become a country with an extremely complex population composition.

The Jin Kingdom was the kingdom of the Marquis of Dian, which was within the thousands of miles of Gyeonggi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and shouldered the important mission of preventing the invasion of Northern Di to the south. The Jin government had a close relationship with the royal family, and the Jin army often followed the king of Zhou to conquer the Quartet, and the national status of the Jin state was also higher than that of ordinary princes.

From Xie's father to the Marquis of Jin Jing, there have been five generations of monarchs, and the history of this period is no longer available. In the seventeenth year of the Marquis of Jin Jing, King Li of Zhou fled to the land, and the Western Zhou Dynasty began to implement the "republican system".

In the seventh year of the reign of Marquis Jing of Jin (805 BC), the royal army was defeated by Tiaorong at Mingtiao Mountain (Zhongtiao Mountain), and the Jin army that fought with it also suffered considerable losses. In this year, the prince was born, and in order to remember the shame of defeat, the Marquis of Jin Jing named the prince "Qiu".

In the tenth year of the Marquis Jing of Jin (BC802), the Jin army defeated Xirong in the Battle of Thousand Mu. The Jin army held a grand triumphal ceremony, this year the second son of the Marquis of Jin Jing was born, and he named the second son "Chengshi" in order to commemorate this victory.

Doctor Jin said: "The way the prince named his son is really strange! The name represents morality, morality produces etiquette, etiquette regulates political affairs, and political affairs correct people's customs; Therefore, the people of the country should obey, otherwise there will be turmoil. As the old saying goes, 'A couple is a concubine, and a grudge is an enmity'. Now that the prince is calling revenge, who does he want to hate? The younger brother is called Chengshi, and his name is so big that he can be called a king; I'm afraid this is a sign of chaos, right? I'm afraid my brother will be deposed by my brother! ”

The Marquis of Jin Jing died in the twenty-seventh year of his reign. During the great mourning, the brother of the Marquis of Jin Jing expelled the crown prince Qiu and established himself as the king. In the third year of Uncle Yan, King Xuan of Zhou died, and King You of Zhou ascended the throne.

Because Uncle Yan was not in the right position, the unified methods he adopted were also very cruel. In the fourth year, the crown prince made a comeback, and with the help of his supporters, he killed Uncle Yan to regain the throne for the Marquis of Jin Wen.

In the tenth year of the Marquis of Wen of Jin, Haojing was captured by Xirong, and King You of Zhou was killed. Marquis Wen of Jin, Duke Wu of Wei, Duke of Zheng Huan, and Duke Xiang of Qin went out to rescue the dead, and drove the dog Rong out of Haojing. When the Western Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the Jin army never left the king of Zhou Ping, escorting the king of heaven and the Zhou people to Cheng Zhou safely. In recognition of the great contribution made by Marquis Wen of Jin to the royal family, King Zhou Ping gave part of Hexi to the Jin Kingdom. In this way, the territory of the Jin Kingdom crossed the Yellow River for the first time.

Marquis Wen of Jin died in the thirty-fifth year of his reign, and the crown prince was enthroned as Marquis Zhao of Jin.

The Jin State had several times after the establishment of the country, and the Jin people moved the capital to Quwo (Guquwo is in the northeast of Wenxi County today) in order to avoid strong enemies, and later moved to Jiang.

As the former capital of the Jin Kingdom, Quwo is larger than Jiang. This situation is referred to as "coupling", which means "one country, two cities". Quwo's strategic position in the Jin State was equivalent to that of the Zhiyi in the Zheng State, so Quwo has always been under the direct control of the official office and has never been given the title of minister.

Wenhou's uncle, Cheng Shi (Uncle Qu Wohuan), was an ambitious, cunning and shrewd figure. He especially wanted to obtain the status of Jin Hou, but he learned the lesson of Uncle Yan's failure to usurp the throne and did not dare to use force directly. Cheng Shi believed that he should first occupy a base camp, and then rely on this base camp to encroach on the power of the office, and finally seize the power of the monarchy.

In the first year of the reign of Marquis Zhao of Jin (745 BC), Gongzi Chengshi asked Zhaohou to give him Quwo, but Zhaohou did not resist the strong pressure of Chengshi's faction and was forced to agree to his uncle's request. Since then, the Jin kingdom has embarked on a seventy-year path of division.

The teacher with the reputation of the beak (crow's mouth) of the Xuanniao said: "The turmoil of the Jin Kingdom occurred in Quwo, and the end was greater than the original and won the hearts of the people. ”

The next seventy years were the darkest and most turbulent period in the history of the Jin Kingdom: the two major political and metallurgical groups of Jiang and Quwo fought fiercely, and among the six Jin marquis, four were killed and one was expelled; The major clans in the country are either their own masters, or they sway from side to side; Zheng, Yu, Huo, Geng, Wei, Chidi, Bai Di, Darong, Lirong and many hostile forces either interfered in the internal affairs of the Jin Dynasty and spared no effort, or took advantage of the fire to rob and never tire of it. The Jin people were caught in endless internal and external troubles.

Uncle Qu Wohuan showed no mercy to Jin Zhao's pressing step by step, but he showed a benevolent and generous face to the people: he was thin in taxation, diligent in government affairs, and fair and selfless. He often showed up in the fields with only one or two retinues, and he was not shy about helping anyone in need, even if it was just a beggar. In this way, he earned himself an excellent reputation.

Luan Bin, the grandson of the Marquis of Jin Jing, was appointed by the Marquis of Jin Zhao as the doctor of Quwo. Luan Bin's main task is to supervise Chengshi's every move and report to the office.

Luan Bin was a principled but not firm man, and he was originally loyal to the office. Uncle Huan admired his talent but couldn't pull him over, so he instructed the henchmen installed in the capital to keep making rumors about Luan Bin in front of Jin Zhaohou, and Luan Bin's political enemies also jumped up and down, and Zhaohou was deceived and deceived, and gradually distrusted him.

Later, Marquis Zhao ordered Luan Bin to return to China to report on his work. However, Luan Bin's friends secretly sent him a message saying that the real purpose of Zhaohou calling him back was to put him to death. Luan Bin had no way out, and finally took refuge in Uncle Qu Wohuan.

Uncle Huan Yeli Quwo for several years, with outstanding political achievements, and the people returned to it like a tide. He thought that his strength was strong enough, and he tried to oust the muddy little monarch in Jiangcheng in the shortest possible time.

In the seventh year of the Marquis of Zhao of Jin (BC739), Uncle Qu Wohuan led an army to attack Jiangdu. Uncle Huan's Neiying and Doctor Pan's father staged a coup d'état in the palace at the same time. Pan's father led Gongjia to successfully kidnap the Marquis of Jin Zhao, and the Jiangren saw that the general trend had gone, so they had to give up resistance. Jiangren opened the city gate and prepared to surrender to Uncle Qu Wohuan. But just when the Quwo people were triumphantly marching into the city, Pan's father thought that a great event had been accomplished, and in a fit of excitement, he actually killed Zhaohou and hung his head out to show the public.

When Zhaohou was kidnapped, he threw a rat trap; Now that he's dead, people have nothing to worry about. Jiangren suddenly burst out with overwhelming power and launched a stormy attack on the enemy, only to push Uncle Huan out again. Uncle Huan led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Quwo, and Pan's father was seriously injured and captured, and finally tortured to death.
