The battle ended with the capture of Jin Huigong. All the generals and soldiers on the battlefield became the trophies of the Qin State; If the ambition of the Qin people was greater, they could even invade Jiangdu and destroy the Jin Kingdom.

But Qin Mugong did not continue the violence, and did not even arrest the soldiers who took the initiative to lay down their arms; He just ordered Jin Huigong to be taken away, and the others didn't ask. Qin Mugong easily let go of the enemy's doctors in this way. Seeing this, the Jin people pulled up their tents, distributed their heads, escorted the carts, and followed the Qin army with sighs.

Gong Qin Mu ordered Gongsun Zhi to say to the Jin doctors: "Why are the doctors so sad? The widow took Jin Jun west, but in order to realize the demon dream of the fox out, how dare he go too far with Jin Jun? Don't worry, doctors, let's all go back! If you step into the border of Qin, you will be arrested as an intruder! ”

The doctors knelt down and bowed to the Qin people three times. They said: "Qin Jun stepped on the earth and put his head on the emperor's head, and the emperor has already heard what Qin Jun said, so we courtiers can only bow down and thank you." ”

How to deal with Jin Huigong has become the most urgent and thorny issue at present. The Qin people studied several options, but did not know how to choose, so they decided to escort Jin Huigong back to Yongdu first.

If the monarch of a country enters the capital of another country as a trophy, even if he is not sacrificed to his ancestors in the temple, there is no possibility of returning to the country to govern.

Qin Muji felt particularly worried and sad, and she immediately summoned her four children, the crown prince, a prince, and two princesses. The lady hugged the children who were not yet adults, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Once your uncle enters the city, he will be like a dead man. This is equivalent to the Qin people killing the monarch of the Jin state, and there is no greater hatred between countries than killing the monarch. After that, the Qin and Jin dynasties will kill each other for generations, and there will be no peace. You are all my children, the crown prince will inherit the throne, and the prince will become a doctor. In the future, you will personally lead an army against your uncle's country, killing or being killed by your blood relatives.

What a cruel tragedy it would be! Rather than sit back and watch the tragedy happen, it is better to stop it now. Follow ye the will of the Mother; If I cannot convert your fathers, then we will die together, lest you and your descendants suffer even more. ”

Qin Muji ordered people to erect a wooden platform on the square in the palace, she led the children to walk on the wooden platform, and at the same time ordered people to wear mourning clothes to pass on to Qin Mugong: "Heaven has sent disasters, so that the monarchs of Qin and Jin will meet each other not with jade silk, but with soldiers." If Jin Jun enters the capital in the morning, the servant will die in the evening; If you enter the city at night, your servant will die in the morning. ”

Only then did the Qin people discover that this Duke Hui of Jin was the biggest trouble for the Qin State, whether he was in Jin or Qin, whether as a monarch or a prisoner. Qin Mugong had no choice but to place Jin Huigong in Lingtai City, and did not dare to take him forward again. Qin Muji used this extreme means to change the development of the situation.

However, the Qin doctors thought that it was not difficult to rescue the children from Qin Muji's side, so they still asked to bring Jin Huigong back. Qin Mugong said: "Of course the widow can do that, but what good is it for the country to force the mother of a country into a desperate situation? We caught the Marquis of Jin and brought him back to China as a great benefit, but it caused a great funeral, what good is it for the country? Although the sons can be rescued now, but after the widow died, the new monarch and the sons went to the battlefield to fight the Jin people, can the widow still save them at that time?

"Doctor Jin moved me with sorrow and used heaven and earth to restrain me. If the widow does not consider the worries of the Jin people, it will arouse the heavy anger of the Jin people; If the widow breaks his word, he betrays heaven and earth. It will be difficult to obtain peace by provoking the Jin people, and betrayal of heaven and earth will be punished by heaven. Therefore, the widow thought that Jin Jun should be sent back to the Jin Kingdom. ”

But Gongzi Zhi insisted on asking to kill the Marquis of Jin and set up a heavy ear instead; Gongsun Zhi agreed with Qin Mugong's opinion, and he also proposed that the Jin people should be asked to send the crown prince to Qin as a hostage.

The two sides debated back and forth for an afternoon, and finally the opinion in favor of a settlement with the Jin state prevailed.

In the days when Jin Huigong was captured, the doctors Xu Qi and Han Jian and others have always been by his side and never left. Later, the Qin informed them that the Duke of Jin Hui could appoint an envoy to negotiate with the Qin state. Duke Hui of Jin sent Yin Qi back to the Jin Kingdom and asked him to summon his nephew Lu and order him to take full charge of the negotiations.

Nephew Lu first inquired about the recent situation of Jin Huigong, and then asked Huigong what he had to say to the doctor and the people. As a result, he was told that the stupid man with his mind full of boiled boiled water did not say anything, but urged the doctors to redeem him as quickly as possible, no matter what the cost, but that the bribe was best given after he returned home.

Lu Nephew kept frowning, and then quietly taught Yin Qi some words, asking him to announce it to the people in the name of Jin Huigong.

Early the next morning, the doctors came to the high platform in front of Taimiao Square. The square has long been crowded with Chinese people. Lü's nephew first made an opening speech, saying that although Jin Huigong was in prison, he was still concerned about the country's social affairs, and he sent an envoy to bring a message to the countrymen.

After he finished speaking, he invited Yin out and asked him to convey the monarch's message to the public. He was dressed in tattered clothes when he was a prisoner, and his hair was disheveled, and he appeared in front of people with such a miserable appearance.

He first introduced the recent situation of Jin Huigong, and asked the people not to worry about his safety; Then the king's order was given to the countrymen (these were all instructed by Lu nephew yesterday).

It was very common for the people to be rewarded during the period of dedication: at that time, the army often won battles, and the goods of the office were piled up, so the Jin Xiangong converted the spoils into currency and gave them to the people. But this kind of thing became rare in the Huigong period; It is precisely because of the rarity and the weight of the reward that the people are particularly excited.

Yin Qi continued: "The prince said: 'Although Gu can return to China, he no longer has the face to preside over the society; Let's ask the doctors to do divination to see if the crown prince can take over the throne! ’”

The Chinese people present couldn't help but cry bitterly. Seeing that he had succeeded in stirring up the feelings of the people, Nephew Lü immediately stepped forward and said: "The prince does not worry about his life, but still worries about the society and gives great favor to the people at the moment of crisis, so how should we repay the prince?" ”

The people replied, "We will do what the Master thinks should be done." ”

Lü's nephew continued: "Increase the number of soldiers and repair the city defenses to assist the children (Prince Yuan); It invigorates those who are friendly to the Jin Kingdom, and fears those who hate the Jin Kingdom. Isn't that what we're supposed to do! ”

The people of the country applauded. Lü's nephew then announced two new systems, one was the land-related "land system" and the other was the military-related "state military system".

The core of the land system is "open land", that is, the state no longer strictly restricts land reclamation, but encourages land reclamation.

The act of stealing private land is common in all countries, and it is also a big problem that plagues the public offices of various countries. As the most critical monarch at that time, Jin Huigong's punishment for opening private fields was more severe, which was unanimously opposed and resented by the countrymen and doctors, and was also an important reason for the instability of his rule.

Now, Nephew Lu has skillfully untied this dead knot by means of falsely passing on the king's life. You must know that "opening the Qianmo" was an important part of the Shang Dynasty reform during the Warring States Period, and the first to implement the system was the Jin people three hundred years ago.

At the heart of the state military system is the restriction of eligibility for service. Zhou Li stipulated that soldiers could only be recruited from among the non-commissioned officers who lived in the capital and the suburbs, and those living in the suburbs were civilians, and the public office did not recruit civilians. The state military system of the Jin State expanded the service qualifications to the capital and the field, thus establishing a strong local armed force and forming a situation in which all the people are soldiers.
