Chapter Eighty-Nine: The History of the Jin Civil Strife (8)

Tomiko's clan began to act quietly, and they slipped out of the various city gates in batches and pieces, and gathered at the designated place. When they found out that the person suspected of being the A of the You clan was also doing the same thing, Tomiko was even more convinced of the correctness of his decision; So he focused all his attention on the outside of the city, and relaxed his vigilance on the inside. Tomiko's mansion didn't show anything unusual from the outside at this time, but there was no defense on the inside.

Three days later, the prince of the Fu clan waited nervously and excitedly for the arrival of the enemy, but the appointed time had passed, and they did not see even a dog, and he exclaimed, "Broken! Hit the trick! Let's go back! After saying that, he rushed back to Jiangdu with his arms, but when they ran with sore feet and weak legs, they were ambushed by the armor of the major princes.

The Fu forces came together to put up a stubborn resistance, and the end result was that none of them fled, no one surrendered, and no one survived - all of them died bravely.

While Fuzi was restlessly waiting for the news of his son's victory, Liang Wu quietly opened the door and let the You clan's clan armor in. The well-prepared attacker immediately attacked the unsuspecting defender. Fuzi heard the roars, screams and fierce collisions of weapons outside, and immediately rushed out with his sword, he saw Liang Wu carrying a bloody sword and leading the enemy to rush towards him, so Fuzi pointed his sword at Liang Wu and cursed, and then rushed to the enemy and died.

After the You clan destroyed the Fu clan, they went to attack Han Qiubo with great momentum. At the critical moment, Luan Zhi and Shi Shan stopped the action of the rioters, and Shi Shan said: "Han Bo has never been a close confidant of Fu Zi, his preference for Fu is forced, and anyone at that time can only do that." The Fu clan still has many important henchmen in the city, and we should eliminate them first, rather than attacking someone who has done something wrong against his will. So the You clan turned the spearhead to attack the other enemies, and Han Qiubo escaped without danger.

When the news of Fu's destruction reached the palace, Jin Xiangong was overjoyed - he had to pretend to be panicked to paralyze the people. He immediately ordered the palace gates to be closed, and the guards were urgently assembled and stationed everywhere, making a posture of being prepared and unaware of the riot.

Soon after, the retainers of the You clan went to the palace to report that Fuzi had been punished on the spot by the princes because of his collaboration with the enemy country; People searched Fuzi's house for "Duke Yu's secret letter" (Gong Yu later said that if he had known that Fuzi could be eliminated in this way, he would have written it to Fuzi a long time ago, and he was willing to write a secret letter to any Jin doctor).

The killing gradually subsided. The doctors wiped the blood stains of the blades, took off the blood-stained armor, washed off the blood stains on their bodies, put on gorgeous court clothes again, and lined up outside the palace gate to prepare to face the king. It was only then that Xiangong hesitated to lift his guard and put the ministers into the palace.

Tomiko was immediately posthumously considered an "enemy of the state", and his body was torn apart and thrown out of different city gates, leaving wild dogs and crows to spoil him; His people were either killed or reduced to slavery; Half of his property was handed over to the treasury and half was distributed among the heroes.

After Tomiko reached the top, he couldn't find a way out, so he was pushed off the cliff, and now it was Yu's turn to stand complacently where Tomiko fell.

Xiangong gave the entire court to the You clan as a reward for eradicating the Fu clan. The doctors are endlessly talking about the Rich Son, just as they touted the rich son in the first place. The brothers were arrogant for a while, but they didn't realize it: Fuzi was the shield of the You family, and once the Fu family perished, it would be the turn of the two brothers next.

Soon Shi Ping made a motion, saying: "Since all the great princes of Quwo have moved, and now the city is in a depression, and the population has decreased so much that social activities have to cease: the merchants have gone bankrupt, the workers have nothing to do, and the people have left, and Quwo will become an empty city in less than two years." What's more, Rong Di was stupid and tried in vain to occupy Quwo. Therefore, the minister suggested that a part of the clan should be moved back to the past to enrich Quwo. ”

This proposal aroused the unanimous approval of the doctors, and Xiangong said: "Yes, the widow has been thinking about this issue recently, and it seems that the widow's original decision was inappropriate. Therefore, the princes and ministers began to study the question of relocation again.

It was at this time that Xiangong summoned his half-brother Gongzi Jian back from the royal city.

As his name suggests, Childe is tough and strong-natured, and he never compromises with power. When Jin Wugong was alive, he was the only one who dared to fight against Wugong. As a courtier, he offended the king as a courtier, and all the disputes were about state affairs; And as a son, he is very filial; As a younger brother, he loved his brother. He can show all the ancient virtues on his body, so he is deeply loved by Wu Gong.

When the doctors were afraid of Fuzi or flattering him, Gongzijian always liked to trouble him, as if he was born to oppose Fuzi.

After Duke Wu was made the Marquis of Jin, he took Gongzijian to meet Zhou Tianzi, and then left Gongzijian in Wangcheng. Because Wu Gong felt that his time was running out, he knew very well that once he returned to the West, Fuzi would immediately take action against Gongzi. Wu Gong didn't want to see his sons coming one after another as soon as he went to the western sky.

Now that Tomiko is finally dead, Childe Jian can come back. Everything seemed so normal, but Xiangong summoned him back for another purpose - he wanted to use Gongzi Jian to deal with the You brothers.

When Gongzijian returned, Xiangong dismissed all the servants, closed the door of the house, hugged his brother and wept. After crying enough, the two of them chatted while drinking, from evening until dawn. Xian Gong said: "You know the situation of the Jin Kingdom, as long as the You clan lives, it will be the scourge of the office, and if they don't die, the country will not be able to conquer the outside world." Therefore, the widow handed over the heavy task of getting rid of the You clan to you, and after the matter was completed, the widow sealed Quwo to you. ”

Gongzijian said: "Quwo caused the seventy-year rebellion because of the title of minister. If the major princes had not been favored by the monarch, how could they have such a great power that they could coecute the monarch unscrupulously? Although the courtiers are loyal to the prince, there is no guarantee that the descendants will be the same as the ministers. If they become the next rich clan, won't the sacrifice of the younger brother also be cut off? So didn't I bring on myself to have Quwo? If the minister destroys the You clan, the lord only needs to give me a piece of Xiaoyi where I can live in peace, and I really have nothing else to ask for. ”

Some people say that houses are alive, and there is a lot of truth in that. The traditional Chinese civil structure houses are vibrant as long as they are inhabited; But once it is abandoned, it dies, and within a few years the beams will fall, the roof will collapse, and the walls will collapse.

Now the empty houses in Quwo are also dilapidated, and many of them have been vandalized, and people have carried away wood and bricks to build their own houses; Some people dig three feet into the ground to see if the original owner has buried any treasures; Some wanderers simply made their home inside.
