Most of the sons fled into Xiaocheng, while the princes fled to Bo, and the leakage of the sons posed a great threat to the Ziyou puppet regime. The usurpers believed that Gongzi Yushu was the half-brother of Song Mingong and the leader of the group of princes, and was the most qualified person to ascend to the throne; If you don't kill the royal family, Ziyou's status is not guaranteed.

Nangong Wan then ordered Nangong Niu to lead the division to cut down; In mid-September, the rebels besieged Bocheng. Gongzi Yu said that on the one hand, he actively organized the defense, and on the other hand, sent people to Xiaocheng and Cao Guo to ask for help.

Although Ziyou has become the nominal monarch, he is widely hated by the people because of his improper position; The murder of Hua Tu caused the usurper to form a feud with the most powerful family of the Song Dynasty, and as a result, he had no allies except for some criminals and coercion.

In October, Xiao Shudaxin besieged Shangqiu with the private armies of the Dai, Wu, Xuan, Mu, and Zhuang tribes, as well as Cao Shi. The defenders of the city were unwilling to die for the usurper, and in an instant there was not a single one left; The countrymen opened the city gates and let the attackers in, and Shangqiu was recovered on the same day. The angry Chinese rushed into the palace city first, dragging Ziyou out and tearing him to pieces. But Nangong Wanhe Mengshou disguised himself as a slave and fled.

The attackers took advantage of the victory to attack, and then attacked Nangong Niu, who surrounded Bocheng. The rebels collapsed without a fight, but Nangong Niu was not as lucky as his father, he was killed in the chaos. The people took Gongzi Yushu out of Bocheng and sent it to the capital. At the end of October, Gongzi Yushu ascended the throne for Duke Song Huan.

Nangong Wan is a dutiful son, and he did not forget to take his old mother with him when he fled for his life: he pulled a flatbed truck, carrying his old mother, who was over the age of six, and ran from Shangqiu to Huaiyang in one day.

Meng Zhu couldn't find Nangong Wan in the chaos, so he fled to Weiguo alone. The two thieves, known for their bravery, were warmly received in both countries.

It turned out that although Wei and Song were allies, their relationship had been lukewarm; The state of Chen and the state of Song did not have diplomatic relations at all, so the usurper considered the two countries to be safe. But Song Huan was determined to extradite the criminals back to China to be punished, no matter what the price was.

When the Song envoy arrived at Weiguo, Wei Huicheng planned to appoint Meng Yu as his captain of the guard, and he didn't want to hand him over at all. But Shi Qizi (Shi Jie's descendant) persuaded him: "No. The sins in the world are all the same, what good is it for the country to defend the country if he commits a serious crime in the Song State but is protected in our country? It's not a good strategy to fight against a great power in order to get a puppet, and to harbor a sinner and lose your allies. Besides, you promoted him to an ominous position, if he doesn't love Song Jun, how can he love Wei Jun? ”

At this time, the friend of the friend of the fierce victory, the son of Doctor Wei, said: "There are fugitives in every country, and even the Duke of Zhou has been exiled to the state of Chu. Meng Yu came to our country to seek refuge out of trust, but the prince wanted to send him back to the cage, that is, the prince killed him, and the prince will inevitably lose his trust in the world. So even if you can't take him in, you can't hand him over to the Song people. Just let him leave the country and go wherever he wants! ”

Shi Qizi retorted: "How can Gongzi compare the rebellious ministers and thieves with the great Duke of Zhou? The upright do good with faith, and the depraved do evil with what is called 'faith'. If we are trustworthy to deviant people, we are his accomplices, so how can we call them 'untrustworthy in the world'? Can we only call a country with credit when we take in the rebellious ministers and thieves from all over the world? ’’”

Wei Huigong listened to Shi Qizi's advice, and tied up the fierce harvest and handed it over to the Song people.

However, the Song people took a lot of trouble on the issue of extraditing Nangong Wan. The Song people bought off several of Chen Xuangong's close ministers through the Cai people, and gave Chen Xuangong a generous gift, which made Chen Guoren decide to repatriate the monarch killer.

Chen Xuangong handed over the arrest task to Gongzi Yan, who had a close relationship with Nangong Wan. Gongzi Yan designed a Hongmen banquet for Nangong Wan, and specially selected a few beautiful women from Fengyue Field who were particularly good at persuading wine.

Since coming to Chen State, Nangong Wan has been living in anxiety and fear (because Song Huan Gong has already released cruel words and vowed to break him into ten thousand pieces). But Gongzi Yan comforted him and said, "Please rest assured, the widow will never hand over the people who have sought refuge in the Chen Kingdom." For the widow, your value is worth half of the Song Kingdom, is Song Jun willing to exchange half of the country for you? ”

You must know that a brainless person like Nangong Wan is especially prone to believing lies, especially when this lie comes out of the mouth of a friend he trusts very much. He was completely relaxed when he heard these words.

The banquet began, and once the depression of many days disappeared, Nangong Wan let go of the wine and drank it cup after cup. Gongzi kept persuading him to drink, and with the beautiful woman hugging, Nangong Niu soon became drunk and unconscious.

Gongzi Yan also took a lot of trouble in solving the packaging of the goods to be shipped, and he ordered someone to wrap the drunk Nangong Wan tightly with a piece of rhinoceros skin, and only his head was exposed; He tied it with a rope from his neck to his ankles, and then handed over this live "human meat zongzi" to the Song people who were waiting anxiously outside the city gate.

The Song people moved Nangong Wan to a passing cart and rushed back to Shangqiu non-stop. When the car was halfway through, the violent bump made Nangong Wan wake up. When he confessed what had happened, he began to curse and struggled desperately. When the carriage rushed into the gate of Shangqiu, people saw that his hands and feet were all free; If it had been a little later, he would have broken free.

Song Huan Gong fulfilled his wish, and he ordered the two culprits to be chopped into meat sauce. Before his death, Nangong Wan begged Song Huan Gong to let his old mother live. Song Huan said: "'Don't dare to insult widows and widows', widows will support her in old age." ”

The punishment of chopping into meat sauce is called "葅醢"; It was prevalent during the Shang Dynasty and was later banned by King Wu of Zhou because it was too cruel, but it was reinstated during the reign of Duke Huan of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the focus of the princes of the Central Plains was focused on the Song State, and people closely observed the every move of the Song people to judge the ruling strategy of the Song Huangong. Unlike his predecessors, Song Huan Gong had always opposed making Song a follower of any great power, and emphasized the independence of the state and its right to speak as a regional power, advocating the revitalization of the country by reviving the ancient legacy of the Yin Shang dynasty.
