In that year, Jin Xiangong married Bo Ji to Qin Mugong for divination, and the result of Zhanzheng encountered the hexagram of "Gui Mei (Redeem Down, Shake Up)" and "Bow Down, Leave Top". Diviner Shi Su said: "Unlucky. He said, 'There is no sheep in the soldiers; The female bearer basket has no. Western neighbors have many reproaches and cannot compensate them.

"The 'eyes' of 'returning to the sister', but the married daughter was divorced. The separation of the earthquake is the same as the earthquake of separation, which is thunder and fire, and is a defeat and defeat; The wheels detached from the axles, and the fire burned the flag; It is not conducive to the division, and it will be defeated in Zongqiu. "Gui Mei" and "Zhu" are lonely, the enemy pulls out the longbow, the nephew follows the aunt, defects for six years, escapes back to the Jin Kingdom, abandons the family, and dies in the ruins of sorghum next year. ”

Jin Xiangong said: "Nephew follows aunt? Aunt is Uncle, right? That's the third generation, and it's definitely not caused by widows, and it has nothing to do with widows marrying daughters. ”

As a result, he liked the divination the most, and when he faced the Gan Jin Xiangong, he did not hesitate to marry Bo Ji to the Qin State.

Now that Jin Huigong remembered this story, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's all the fault of the ancestors!" If he hadn't done divination, or if he had been able to follow Shi Su's advice, he wouldn't have caused anything to be corrupt! The widow will not fall to the point where it is today. ”

Han Jian was standing aside at this time, and he replied: "The tortoise shell is (abstract), and the grass is (concrete); After virtue, images are produced, and numbers are bred after there are images. The virtue of the ancestors is the cause, and the hexagram is the effect, so how can the deeds of the ancestors be caused by the number of grass? Even if the ancestors followed the results of divination, what would happen? The poem says: 'The iniquity of the people descended to heaven; Shame and hatred, job competition by people. ’”

Han Jian also blamed Jin Huigong while evaluating Jin Xiangong, but the latter's dull brain couldn't react at all, he just continued to complain that his father shouldn't marry his sister to the enemy next door. He didn't expect that if his sister hadn't forced him to die, his life would have been taken away by Qin Mugong long ago.

In the winter of October, Lü's nephew led an envoy to Qin, and formal negotiations began between Qin and Jin. The two countries held specific consultations on issues such as the release of Jin Huigong, the delivery of hostages, the cession of land, and the payment of offerings.

During this period, Qin Mugong asked his nephew about the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, whether the political situation was stable and whether the people were harmonious.

Lü's nephew replied, "The Jin people are not in harmony. The villain was ashamed of the capture of the prince and grieved for the death of his relatives and friends. They were not afraid of being conscripted into the army, and they were willing to make the crown prince the new king, and said: 'It is better to serve Rong Di than to take revenge.' But the gentlemen loved the widow and understood his crimes, but were not ashamed of his captivity. The gentlemen were not afraid of being drafted into the army, but they felt that they needed to wait for orders from the Qin state. The gentlemen said: 'You must repay the favor of the Qin State, and there is no difference between death and death. Therefore, there was discord among the Jin. ”

Qin Mugong continued to ask, "What do the Jin people think of their monarch?" ”

Lu nephew said: "The villain is sad and thinks that the prince will not be exempt from difficulties; The gentleman is no, firmly believing that the prince will return safely. The villain said: 'We have deceived the Qin State many times, and we have refused to report to Qin En, how can the Qin people let him back?' The gentleman said, "We are guilty, and the Qin State will definitely give the prince a gift." If you have a second heart, you will capture him, and when you submit, you will be gentle with him; There is no deeper kindness, no more majestic punishment. Those who surrender are grateful for kindness, and those who have a heart are afraid of punishment. In the first battle of Han Yuan, Qin Ke dominated! ’”

Qin Mugong was very comfortable with the compliment of Lu nephew, and he immediately said that the thoughts of the gentlemen of the Jin Kingdom were the same as his own.

After the conversation, Jin Huigong's residence was moved from the doctor's private residence to a post house dedicated to receiving foreign dignitaries, his court clothes, ceremonial crown, and sword were also returned, and dinner began to enjoy the dietary specifications of the Seven Prisons (seven dishes per meal). This shows that in the eyes of the Qin people, the Duke of Jin Hui is no longer a trophy, but a monarch of a country.

The two countries of Qin and Jin reached an agreement the next day, the content of which was that the crown prince would be sent to Qin as a hostage, and the Jin State would cede several cities to Qin State in Hedong, and also help Qin State move Lu Hun Rong to the Central Plains area; The Qin and Jin dynasties have been married well and will never be enemies.

In order to show his trust in the Jin people, Qin Mugong sent Jin Huigong away before he got the hostages, city maps, and household registration; The Jin Kingdom also fulfilled its obligations very happily. The Qin state then set up official offices in the cities of Hedong and began to collect taxes.

Jin Huigong gritted his teeth with hatred for Qing Zheng, and he ordered Hao Qi to hurry back to Jiangdu to arrest Qing Zheng and not let the loser go. Han Jian said: "The prince doesn't have to be anxious, Qing Zheng will never run away, otherwise the prince can cut off the minister's head." ”

Qing Zheng still stayed in the capital at this time, as if nothing had happened, and he went in and out of the official office every day as usual to handle official business. His friends advised him to flee as soon as possible, but he said: "I have put the prince in a desperate situation, and caused the army to be defeated, but I did not die on the battlefield; If I try to get away with it, how can I be like a man? If I am a subject but not a minister, which country will accept me? ”

Jin Huigong's footsteps were getting closer and closer to the capital, and Qing Zheng closed his door to thank the guests (and no one dared to visit him anymore). He asked the elder to protect his family and escape, dismissed his retainers, divided the property among them, and waited quietly for the final moment.

The magistrate quickly broke into the house and arrested him and escorted him out of the city.

On the afternoon of November 29, Jin Huigong arrived in the western suburbs. The cold weather was created by the heavens to kill people, but the sun hid in the clouds, and did not see the impending human tragedy.

Qing Zheng was dragged in front of Jin Huigong. Jin Huigong asked, "Uncle, what were you thinking when you were trapping the widow?" ”

Qing Zheng replied: "The Jin Kingdom is probably saved." ”

Jin Huigong was furious, immediately cut off Qing Zheng's head, and ordered his body to be thrown into the wilderness, and then led his troops into the city in a grand manner, as if leading a triumphant army to hold a marching ceremony.

In this year, the Jin state suffered another famine, and the Qin state provided selfless assistance to the previous state.

After the defeat of Han Yuan, Jin Huigong finally stopped. Until the death of Duke Huigong of Jin, there were no more military conflicts between Qin and Jin, on the contrary, the Jin army also provided great help in the Qin people's expulsion of Lu Hun Rong.

Regarding his attitude towards the Jin State, Qin Mugong said: "I resent the monarch of the Jin State but pity the people of the Jin State. He could not bear to hurt his people for the sake of a faint king. When Uncle Tang was entitled, Jizi once said: 'It will be big after that.' 'Where is the Jin State that the Qin State can covet?' The widow can only cultivate virtue and wait for the appearance of the Ming monarch of the Jin Kingdom. ”
