Gongzi Zhi left Bai Di and came to Liang Kingdom, and said what he said to Chong'er to Yiwu again. Yiwu told Hao Rui: "The Qin people are ready to support my return to China!" ”

Yin Rui said: "Son, work hard!" The exiles should not be high-minded, and they will not be able to do great things. Heavy bribes are paired with noble virtues, and both can be used to succeed. Don't cherish your possessions, they belong to others, and I get them by luck, so why not? ”

Yi Wu happily returned to meet Gongzi Zhi, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to Qin Mugong, bowed to the chief again, and got up without crying. Yi Wu quietly revealed some little secrets to Gongzi Zhi during the banquet, and he said: "Zhongda Fulik has promised to set me up, and I will give him a million acres of fertile land; Pi Zheng may have promised, I will give him 700,000 acres of fertile land; Lu nephew and Yin said that they don't have to think about it.

"If the Emperor can help me return to China, then there is no need for Heaven to patronize Yiwu! I, a fugitive from abroad, if I can return to China to worship and sweep the temple, it is already a great blessing, how can I dare to hope to ascend to the throne? Although Shangjun has a large number of counties, I still want to give the five cities beyond the river to Shangguo; This was not because the land of Shangguo was not vast enough, but because Shangjun did not have to take a detour when crossing the Yellow River to the east. ”

After bribing the Qin State, Yiwu gave Gongzi Zhi forty pieces of gold and six pairs of jade, and promised to give him a large amount of property after he ascended the throne.

Gongzi Zhi accepted the benefits of Yiwu and immediately returned to China to resume his life. After listening to his report, Qin Mugong decided to establish Chong'er as the king. But Gongzi Zhi said: "Heavy ears and thrift, polite, and have the heart of a strong country, it is indeed the first choice of Jin Jun; And Yiwu is greedy and shameless, betraying the country like selling himself, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility. However, Qin and Jin are neighbors, and if Jin is strong, Qin is weak; In order to demonstrate the prestige of the Qin state, there could be no Ming monarch in neighboring countries. Therefore, it is better to set up an incompetent person to rule the Jin Kingdom, and the meaning of the minister: rather than Yiwu, not Chong'er. ”

Bailishi and Gongsun Zhi and other doctors supported Gongzizhi's opinion, but Qin Mugong didn't make a decision on the spot, he just said that he needed to think about it again.

Back in the harem, Qin Mugong asked his wife Mu Ji which of her brothers she thought would be able to maintain good relations with Qin. You know, Mu Ji is a very demure woman with a good aristocratic education, and Chong'er's flamboyant and heroic personality is not accepted by her, but Yiwu's naturally gloomy and weak femininity makes her feel close (women always sympathize with and cherish the weak).

Therefore, Muki said that she did not want to judge her two brothers, but the question of the monarch could not but be answered; She can only remind the other party that as long as Qin Mugong looks at the country where the two sons live in exile (Yihua and Yidi), he will know the brothers' likes and dislikes; As for what type of monarch Mu Gong likes to call brothers, it's up to him to choose!

The Liang State and the Qin State were the same ancestors, but Bai Di was the enemy of the Qin State for generations; Mu Ji used this method to skillfully gain an advantage for Yigo.

Qin Mugong then began to arrange for the return of Yiwu to China, and Yiwu appointed Yin Rui as a representative to contact the Qin people. Qin Mugong wanted to know who Yiwu's backer was in the Jin Kingdom.

Yin Rui replied: "The foreign minister has heard that those who have fled abroad have no henchmen, and if they do, they must have enemies. Yiwu was not good at playing when he was young, he did not act beyond his status, he did not show unpleasantness, he had nothing to ask for or complain about, and he did not change when he grew up. Therefore, he did not resent the Chinese people when he fled abroad, and the Chinese people also felt at ease with him. There are so many talented sons in the Jin Kingdom, who can a person like Yiwu who is not talented rely on? ”

After Yin Rui retreated, Qin Mugong asked Gongsun Zhi beside him: "Although Yiwu can ascend to the throne, can he stabilize the Jin Kingdom?" ”。 Gongsun Zhi said: "The minister heard that only morality can stabilize the country, and the poem says: 'If you don't know what you don't know, follow the emperor's rules.'" (The Emperor) teaches the ruler not to regard acquired knowledge, but to take innate nature as the principle of governance; And he said, 'No thief, no thief, no thief, no thief, But Igo has done a lot of thieves! And Yin Rui said that Yiwu has no likes and dislikes, and if there is no likes and dislikes, there is no jealousy; But there was a jealousy in his words. So if Yigo wants to stabilize the country, I'm afraid it will be difficult! ”

Qin Mugong was satisfied with Gongsun Zhi's answer, and he said, "Yes, this is the great benefit of the Qin State. He sent an army to protect Yiwu and send the master who had almost driven the Qin people crazy back to the Jin Kingdom.

When the Qin army crossed the Yellow River, the Eastern Coalition Army, led by the Qi army, also reached Gaoliang (northeast of present-day Linfen). Originally, after Jin Xiangong fled the alliance, Qi Huangong has been looking for an opportunity to teach the lawless old cowboy a lesson (offending the alliance leader must be punished). Later, the Jin Kingdom was in turmoil, and Duke Qi Huan felt that the opportunity had come; He heard that Gongzi Wuyu, one of the sons of Xiangong, was wandering around the Weiguo area, and immediately sent someone to settle Wuyu to protect him.

Duke Qi Huan immediately gathered a large army and asked Song and Zheng to provide troops, and the alliance of the Three Kingdoms escorted Wuyu straight to the Jin Kingdom.

As the army marched to Sorghum, envoys from Jin and Qin came to the camp of the coalition army. The leader of the Qi army was the great doctor Xi Peng, who told the envoys that the Duke of Qi Huan was shocked and saddened by the sad news of the death of the Duke of Xian, and was heartbroken by the successive disasters that occurred in the Jin Kingdom; So he sent himself here, hoping to provide security protection for the Jin State and help restore order to the country.

Qin envoy Gongsun Zhi said that Qin Bo had the same idea as the Marquis of Qi; Since the two sides have the same goal, then the next step is to talk; Now that the Jin people have chosen Yiwu as the king, Qin Mugong sent heavy troops to defend Yiwu's return to China in order to prevent danger from happening; Originally, he was still worried, but when he saw the arrival of Qi Shi, he was completely relieved, with the protection of Qi Shi, who would dare to destroy the great matter of the establishment of the Jin Kingdom?

At this point, the people of Qi can't change the ending; Now that the people of Qin have given enough face, it is not good for Xi Peng to express different opinions. Therefore, the representatives of all parties held a bloody ceremony and reached a consensus on the matter of establishing Yiwu as king.

In the winter of December, Yiwu held a coronation ceremony in Taimiao, which was for Jin Huigong.

There was not a single regime change in the history of the Jin Dynasty that caused such a shock as the accession of Duke Hui: two successors and a lady were killed, and an archon and Mrs. Ru committed suicide; The two overlords of the east and west were all involved, and Duke Qi Huan and Duke Qin Mugong both gave the new monarch enough face. However, the new master, who was able to climb to the throne after stirring up half of China, was an out-and-out rogue, a villain, and a miser.
