Although Duke Wu of Jin reunified the Jin Kingdom, he failed to eliminate the division within the office. If he had lived a few more years, the Jin Kingdom might not have had such a cruel and bloody tragedy of fratricidal relatives, or those tragedies would not have happened during the reign of Xiangong.

The new regime of the Jin State is full of clans, and the doctors are all the descendants of Uncle Qu Wohuan and the uncles and nephews of the Duke of Xian. The most powerful of the clans was the Fu clan first, followed by the You clan (You Zhong and You Shu brothers), the Luan clan, the Han clan and a group of sons and grandsons. The Quwo clan followed the rebellion of the three generations of feudal lords to create the Jin marquis, and by the time of the overthrow of the Jin marquis, the princes had already established their own forces.

At that time, as the crown prince, he also had to restrain his nature, which was even more murderous than his father, hide it deeply and pretend to be harmless, and the most he usually said was: "Yui! Father! "Wow! Uncle (the title of the prince doctor)! These illusions make others think that the prince is nothing more than a little lamb who can only "bleat".

When Jin Wugong was alive, he used his iron fist to suppress the power of the princes and doctors, and as soon as Jin Wugong died, the emotions that the doctors had suppressed for a long time completely disappeared. As a result, some of the clans felt that their good days had come, and thought that if they could not make a few strokes from the unstable new monarch now, there would never be such an opportunity again. The doctors formed gangs to blackmail Jin Xiangong under various pretexts.

The persecution of the Gong clan forced the Jin people to feel that history had begun to produce reincarnation - how similar the current situation is to the first year of the Marquis of Jin Zhao! If reunification, which took 70 years of struggle, turns out to be the beginning of another split, what is the point of the tremendous efforts made by the three generations of Quwo people? What's even more terrifying is that there is more than one person around Xinjun who has the ambition of Uncle Qu Wohuan, and the Fu family and the You family may become the next Qu Wo Fengjun.

Jin Xiangong continued to pretend to be weak on the surface, but secretly planned with his henchmen, preparing to deal with those princes who didn't know whether to live or die.

After seizing power, Duke Wu of Jin made a plan to move the capital from Quwo to Jiang, but he fell ill before the plan was implemented. This matter was delayed until the accession of the Duke to the throne.

But the plan to move the capital has not yet been restarted, and some people can't wait to go to Jiangdu to occupy the house. When Jin Wugong attacked Jiang, he said: Jiangdu is the capital of the Jin Kingdom, don't destroy it wantonly like the enemy country; Jiangren is a native of the Jin Kingdom, so don't kill like an enemy.

As a result, the destruction of buildings by the Quwo people was not much more than that of the resisters, and the city was largely preserved. Since most of the old nobles in the capital were killed, captured, or fled, their mansions were vacated. These luxurious empty houses became the objects of contention among the Quwo people; The doctors, who did not take the new king seriously, ordered their retainers to go and occupy the mansion with their private armies; Sometimes it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with others, and there will be constant incidents of death and injury. The doctors began to accuse each other, insult each other, and even prepare for a firefight.

The recklessness of ignoring the monarch is an extreme contempt and affront to the divine monarchy. Jin Xiangong had a fire in his heart, and he summoned several of his confidants, expressed his anger to them, and then said that he would use force to suppress the gang of bandit officials.

Shi Bao rejected the idea of offering the prince, saying: "Because the prince is strong and the monarch is weak, there will be a situation where the minister is forcing the lord, and the use of force at this time is tantamount to throwing stones with eggs." To deal with the Gong Clan, you have to use the Gong Clan, and only by letting them constantly engage in infighting can their strength be consumed to the maximum. They grow and when they are weak, they will be swept away. That's the best way to go.

"It is written: 'If you take what you want, you will hold on to it.'" Now the benefits of the clan are not too much, but not enough, so they will lose very little; The king should also reward them abundantly, and they will surely fight. The present chaos is only the beginning, and Heaven will take away their souls and cause them to kill each other. ”

Yuan Shiyan said: "The minister agrees with Shibo's opinion. Among the Huan and Zhuang clans, the Fu clan is the strongest, and the rich son is cunning and resourceful. If you get rid of the rich son first, the others will not have to worry. ”

Luan Zhi said: "The ministers have close contacts with the Huan and Zhuang clans, and they can be provoked in the middle. ”

Hu Tu and Zhao Shu said: "It's up to you to decide what to plan, and leave the matter of using force to me." ”

Xiangong said: "Remove Huan and Zhuang, and the widow will share the Jin Kingdom with you!" ”

The restoration of the capital and the reconstruction of the palace (because the palace was burned down before the death of the Marquis of Jin) took two years. It wasn't until the spring of the third year that Jin Xiangong moved his office there. After Xiangong became the lord of Jiangdu, an edict was issued: all doctors who moved their families to Jiangdu were not allowed to keep Quwo's mansion; Those who remain in the mansion must move out within a certain period of time and hand it over to the office.

The doctors grinned and complained in a threatening tone: "After the unremitting efforts of three generations of monarchs, Quwo has finally owned the entire Jin kingdom from a small city. The territory of the prince has expanded a hundred and ten times, and each of the princes has made a great contribution, but all the treasures have been sent to the royal city to curry favor with the old dead ghost (Zhou Tianzi)!

"We didn't get any reward, and the fief is still a little bit! And now we can't even keep our ancestral home! Could this be the fate we got after defeating Jin Houyi? If we really have only one mansion to keep, we'd rather go back to Quwo! Let the new king call the shots into the air! ”

Xian Gong soon learned of these complaints, and he said to the doctors: "All the doctors are the brothers and relatives of the widow, and the Jiang are all fought together with the ancestors, how dare the widow monopolize the Jin Kingdom?" It's just that now the Jin Kingdom is newly established, the foundation is not stable, and rebellions often occur in various places; Moreover, the widow also needs to deal with a lot of complicated affairs, so he has no energy to think about the matter of sealing during this time.

"But you should already know: the widow has ordered the Situ Department to survey the national land as soon as possible. After the census is completed, it will be reclassified and rewarded. In that case, why should the doctors make it difficult for the widows? ”

Since Jin Xiangong was telling the truth, the ministers also felt that they were too anxious; They are hopeful about the future and stop complaining.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the side blood relatives of the high-ranking nobles were reduced to low-class scholars after two or three generations. Those scholars could only make a living from farming. Some scholars were not willing to be discouraged, and they wanted to pursue a better future, so they went to work as retainers in the families of other high-ranking nobles.

People with strong ability and good luck can be the old man (that is, the big housekeeper, the most famous housekeeper in the Spring and Autumn Period should belong to the Yang Tiger of the Lu State), and those with poor ability can also live a worry-free life without having to work hard to make ends meet.

Shi Ping's old man Luan Yu and Luan Ji, a retainer of the You Zhong family who was responsible for raising horses, were brothers of the same clan, and Shi Ping instructed Luan Yu to lobby Luan Ji. Luan Yu found an opportunity to "meet" Luan Ji, who was bored herding horses by the river. Luan Yu spread out the straw mat and took out the wine and meat to chat with him while drinking.

After a few sips of wine, Luan Ji began to compliment Luan Yu, envying his status and life; Then the conversation changed and he complained that fate was unfair to him. He said that he had worked diligently for most of his life, and that he had only more freedom than a slave.
