Soon after, the Jin Office announced the relocation order, which reads:

First, You Zhong was appointed as the doctor of Quwo, and Gongzijian assisted him in collaborative management;

Second, the Quwo city wall was cut down by one zhang;

Third, the princes moved back to their original sites, and the monarch exempted the doctors from paying taxes for two years and rebuilt them in Quwo;

Fourth, the public court (inner court) of Quwo Palace is closed, and the office space of the major government offices remains unchanged;

Fifth, Fu's original house was given to Gongzijian.

The You family celebrated for several days in a row, because You Zhong was now a very popular minister; Although there is also a son-in-law who went with him, he is just a deputy, and You Zhong feels that the relationship between the two is still good.

You felt that the two brothers were in Jiangdu and Quwo, and they could support each other, which was enough to control the entire Jin Kingdom; Xiangong believes that separating the two is conducive to each break.

Gongzijian lived in the royal city for five years, and his temperament was very different from before, because people changed according to the external environment. The doctors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty fought against each other all day long, and many newcomers with the same outspoken temper as he were basically eliminated as soon as they emerged, and they were all killed by those loyal, gentle, dog-like old foxes. So he also learned how to defend himself and fight the enemy.

Gongzijian successfully played the role of a fallen aristocrat in Quwo, spending days drunk and dreaming of death with a group of fox friends and dog friends every day; They embezzled and solicited bribes together, and amassed people's wealth together. When Gongzijian exposed his evil deeds to You Zhong, he thought they were the same kind; When Gongzijian shared the secret with him again, he regarded Gongzijian as a comrade.

Gongzijian gradually grasped many secrets of the You clan and his henchmen, and he learned about the weaknesses of the You clan, and then formulated a plan to win over and divide the people in the You clan.

During the period when the princes and doctors were in charge of Quwo, the Jin Kingdom fought several wars with the Dongshan Gaoluo clan (a branch of Chidi) and Lirong, and the Jin Xiangong destroyed Lirong. These histories are recounted in detail in other chapters.

You Zhong had three sons. Under the words and deeds of their father, the three brothers not only looked down on each other, but also became more crazy than the other. The boss had a close personal relationship with Quwo Zhuangbo's son Gongzi Xi and Gongzi Qifang (Zhuang Bo was posthumously recognized as the Marquis of Jin by Duke Wu of Jin, so his son also became Gongzi); The second Youxian is always mixed with Luan Zhi; The third child is inseparable from Gongzixi's younger brother Gongzi.

Liang Wu had already become You Zhong's retainer at this time, ranking below Luan Ji; Luan Zhi instigated You Xian to kick Luan Ji out of the game (because Luan Ji was dull by nature and narrow-minded, which was not conducive to success), and made You Zhong promote Liang Wu to the position of the elder.

During a banquet, Liang Wu secretly threw poison into You Zhong's wine lord; This caused him to vomit a large amount of blood after binge drinking, making him look like he was intoxicated. Since his grandfather and father drank to death like this, he didn't think much about it.

You Zhong couldn't get out of bed for a long time. The three sons, who were outwardly saddened by his serious illness, secretly began to prepare for the succession, and they waited for their father's life to take immediate action against the brothers in order to kill the rivals.

However, the dose of poison that Liang Wu put was not enough to be fatal, and You Zhong gradually recovered. Liang Wu took the opportunity to report that the three brothers were plotting to compete for the position of the prince, and persuaded him to establish a successor as soon as possible to eliminate the desire of others to seize the throne.

The matter of establishing a successor has become a problem for You Zhong.

You Zhong believes that if you can choose the method of death independently, drinking death is the best way. So once he recovered, he began to drink heavily day and night.

On this day, he and his sons got together again to drink. People drank from sunset until the third pole of the moon, and the long feasting made people abandon their pretense and become honest. You Zhong had something in his heart, so he pulled Gongzijian to a remote place outside the door and complained to him in frustration and decadence.

Yau Zhong said that his three sons had never been at odds; The little rabbits not only don't understand what "brothers are united" is, but are particularly obsessed with fighting in the nest; What's more, they are now competing for the status of the prince.

The reason why You Zhong confided in Gongzijian was because he felt that others were all wine bags and rice bags with insufficient success and more than failure. Gongzijian made a look of listening attentively, You Zhong seemed very moved, and continued: "But none of the three brothers are descendants, and their mother died early. The three sons are all very much liked by me, and I don't have any opinions now, so my son helped me come up with an idea, which one should I choose? ”

Childe Jian said that he didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, because no matter which one he set up, he would offend others - which would be tantamount to self-inflicted trouble.

You Zhong said: "Childe doesn't need to specify which one, just tell me how to choose." ”

Gongzijian said: "That's easy to do." The uncle told his sons to go out of the city to hunt and stay in the city himself. They are sure to drink at night; So my uncle sent for them to tell them when they were drunk, saying, "Your foot is sprained." The uncle waited at home, and whoever came back first made him appoint. ”

You Zhong readily agreed. Gongzijian passed the word to Luan Zhi, and Luan Zhi passed it on to You Xian through Liang Wu. A few days later, You Zhong began to implement the plan that he thought was Gao Yin. That night, when the brothers were in the middle of their drinking in the suburbs, Yuzhong's messenger conveyed the false news of his sprained ankle to the trio. You Xian immediately drove back to Quwo overnight; At noon the next day, when the other two brothers returned home slowly, they saw that their father had already established Youxian as the heir.

You Jing and You Yi immediately put aside their previous suspicions, and the two joined forces to deal with a common enemy. You Zhongliyan's strategy did not eliminate the contention of his sons, but only intensified the contradictions.

You and the bream complained to their comrades. Gongzifei and Gongzixi have been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and the two of them can see at a glance: "This is definitely a conspiracy!" But they just focused on Liang Wu - because Liang Wu climbed up through You Xian, and You Zhong didn't care about Liang Wu for anything.

The brainless You brothers thought that the two sons had a point, and they decided to get rid of Liang Wu first - even if they couldn't reverse the situation, they would weaken You Xian's strength.
