King Cheng of Chu regarded the arrival of Chong'er as a pilgrimage to royal power by the future Jin monarch. Based on this idea and as a person who likes to talk about pomp and circumstance, King Chu Cheng greeted Chong'er and his party with the courtesy of treating the princes. Chong'er also met all the important figures of the Chu royal family: Prince Shangchen, Ling Yin Dougu Yu Su, Da Sima Cheng Dechen, Gong Zheng Qi Qiang, Mo Ao Qu Wan, Zhu Dafu Dou Bo, Dou Yishen, etc.

The Jin people were amazed by the tall stature of the members of the Chu royal family, the domineering aristocracy who was not angry and arrogant, and the profound cultivation revealed between their words and deeds.

King Chu Cheng had already decided that Chong'er would definitely become the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and he asked a question at the banquet: "If the prince gets the Jin Kingdom, how will he repay the widow?" ”

Chong'er said: "Women and jade silk are not rare in the Chu State, and fur and ivory are native to the Chu State. What the Jin State got was picked by the Chu State; What did Chong'er give back to the monarch? ”

King Chu Cheng said: "Even so, the prince has to tell the widow." ”

Chong'er said: "If you trust the spirit of the monarch, Chong'er can return to the Jin Kingdom." Once Jin and Chu are at war in the Central Plains, I will avoid the king; If they still can't get understanding, they will lead their troops to deal with the kingdom. ”

After the banquet, Ziyu angrily found King Chu Cheng and strongly demanded to kill Chong'er. He said: "Although the Qi State and the Song State are no longer able to lead the Zhuxia Kingdoms, there is no doubt that the Jin State will become the successor of the Qi State, and Chong'er will succeed Qi Xiaobai. Since Heaven sent Chong'er to the Chu State, it is sponsoring the Chu State, so we should get rid of him. Once the opportunity is lost, it will come back. ”

King Chu Cheng disagreed, he first issued a cliché about the Mandate of Heaven, and then said: "The Marquis of Jin (Jin Huigong) has no one to attach himself, and people inside and outside hate him, so Chong'er becomes the only person who can replace him." I have heard that in the country of Zhuji, Uncle Tang's country will decline last; I'm afraid it's because of the heavy ears. Heaven will raise him up, and who can destroy him? There will be a great blame for violating the sky, and Song Zi's father is the best example. ”

King Chu Cheng was afraid that Ziyu would be bad for Chong'er, so he sent an army to send him to the border of Qin.

In August, Chong'er and his followers crossed the Weishui River into Yongdu, and Qin Mugong finally met this legendary figure who had been friends for a long time.

After greeting each other, Chong'er asked Mu Gong about his sister Bo Ji, and Mu Gong replied that his wife had become depressed since the Battle of Hanyuan and died soon after. The scene fell silent in an instant, and Qin Mugong immediately broke the deadlock, he announced the start of the banquet, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed again. At this banquet, both sides just had a good drink, and neither of them mentioned the topic of seizing the throne of Ziyuan, as if there was no such thing at all.

After the banquet, Qin Mugong arranged for Chong'er to stay in the Taimiao. Early the next morning, the prince went to visit Chong'er. He said: "What my mother missed most when she was alive was Uncle Yiwu. After he was captured in the Battle of Hanwon, my mother took me and my two younger sisters to prepare**. When he returned to the Jin Kingdom with his whole body, his mother's spirit collapsed little by little. Later, when Ziyu came to Qin, his mother left in a hurry when she saw him, and never mentioned his name again, and refused to appear on any occasion at the same time as him.

"Before she died, she said to me, 'Ziyu will flee. Yiwu harmed the country, and Ziwei ruined the country. Only Chong'er in the world can save the Jin Kingdom and call him back! Heavy ears are in charge of the country, and it is beneficial to Qin, Jin, and the world. Later, when Ziyu fled in a hurry, I felt that my mother had a kind of miraculous foresight - the Marquis of Jin will die soon, and Ziyu will soon ascend the throne. As for the future relationship between the two countries, the Qin people really dare not imagine it. Fortunately, God sent my uncle to Qin, and only you can save the two countries from danger. ”

In this way, Qin Mugong conveyed his support for Chong'er through the mouth of the crown prince.

Qin Mugong assigned five clan women to serve Chong'er, including Ziyu's ex-wife Huai Ying. Once, Huai Ying held a basin of water to serve Chong Er and wash his hands, and after Chong Er washed it, he did not take the hand towel handed to him by Huai Huan, but shook his hand very casually. Huai Ying said angrily: "Qin and Jin are rivals, why do you look down on me?!" ”

The sudden "diplomatic friction" over the issue of wiping hands can scare Heavy Ear a lot. He apologized to Huai Ying on the spot, explaining that he had been in exile for many years and did not pay much attention to etiquette; He took off his dress and crown, locked himself in a side room, and sent someone to ask Mu Gong for his guilt.

Qin Mugong immediately rushed to see Chong'er, and he said: "Among all the sons-in-law, Jian is the most talented, and the widow has always hoped that he will become the family of the Marquis of Jin. But the widow was blind, and threw a piece of beautiful jade in, well, (he suddenly found that comparing Ziyu to anything would spoil the appetites of both parties)... The widow wants to marry Jane to Gongzi, but he is afraid that Gongzi will dislike him; But if you don't do this, there's no way to help Childe. Therefore, even if the son can't marry her, please keep her by her side and treat her as a maid. ”

Qin Mugong observed the other party as he spoke, and he saw that Chong'er had a big knot in his heart for marrying Princess Jane, so he did not continue to persuade him, but got up and left the side room under the pretext that he had political matters to deal with.

Heavy Ear summoned his followers and asked for their opinions.

Xu Chen first said: "Those born of the same father and have the same virtue are brothers." In that year, Shaodian married the daughter of Youqi and gave birth to Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi. Yandi Shennong's clan grew on the shore of ginger water, and the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan clan grew on the shore of Jishui. The two people rely on different virtues to achieve their achievements, so they have different surnames; As a result, Emperor Yan changed his surname to Jiang, and Emperor Huangdi changed his surname to Ji.

The four concubines of the Yellow Emperor gave birth to a total of twenty-five sons, and the Yellow Emperor gave fourteen of them surnames, and a total of twelve surnames were given, namely Ji, You, Ji, Teng, Zhen, Xun, Qi, Ren, Xi, Yao, Yi, Yi, with the same surname and different virtues. Even if people with the same surname are distant strangers, they are not allowed to intermarry for fear of blaspheming their common ancestors; Although they are familiar and intimate, they can intermarry to merge clans with different virtues. The same surname breeds each other, and their birth is not rich; This is the basis of the design of the family system.

"Although Gongzi and Ziyu are from the same Jin family, they have different morals, even if they are not uncles and nephews, but just strangers. Marrying his wife to accomplish his great event of restoring the country, what is not to do? ”

Hu Yan said: "Since he wants to seize the entire country from Ziyu, then his entire family will also become Gongzi's." No matter who you marry, the most important thing is that everything is based on Qin Bo's will. ”

Zhao Yu said: "If a son asks for others, he must accept the conditions of others; If you want others to accept you, you must first accept others. Asking others to help you without giving favors to others is a fantasy. We are afraid that we will not be able to get the kindness of the Qin people, and now that the kindness has come, the son should fulfill the good intentions of the Qin people. ”

Chong'er went to see Qin Mugong later and asked him to marry Princess Jian to himself.

The news of Chong'er's marriage to the princess of Qin aggravated the condition of Jin Huigong, and in September of the 23rd year of Lu Xugong (BC637), Jin Huigong died, and the crown prince Yu ascended the throne for Jin Huaigong.
