Before the battle between Jin and Bai Di in the battle of Kei, Xian Zhen deposed the position of Wolf and appointed Hu Ju as the right of the Jin Xiang bus. In fact, the monarch's chariot right is usually not held by a fixed person, and the Jin people usually have to divinate the candidates for the chariot right before the war.

This was not something to complain about, but this time the replacement procedure was artificially interfered with: because Xianzhen had already made up his mind to die in battle, he wanted to sell Hu Yan a favor before he died, and find an ally for his son.

The wolf was furious, and so were his friends. Friends ask him if he wants to kill the sanctimonious old guy (Xianzhen).

"I haven't found a reason to die for it. ”

Friends say they can help him if he wants to do something.

Wolf Yao said: "There is a saying in "Zhou Zhi": 'Courage is harmful, and it is not in the Ming Hall.'" 'The unrighteousness of a man's death cannot be called bravery; Only by dying in the affairs of the state can it be called brave. I sought the right of the car because of courage, but I was not deposed because of my lack of courage, and I have nothing to complain about. If I commit a crime, it will prove that the marshal understands me as a person, and that he has made the right decision. Please wait for your chance! ”

On the eve of the Battle of Peng Ya, Wolf Yao found his friends and asked them, "Are you ready to die tomorrow for the decisive battle?" ”

Friends replied that it was ready. Wolf Yao solemnly asked everyone to take jade in their mouths before the war and listen to his orders. That's why there was a scene where the wolf led his subordinates to charge.

Later generations said: "The wolf can really be called a gentleman, and the poem says: 'If a gentleman is angry, chaos and depression (if a gentleman is angry, the trouble will stop).'" 'If you are angry but do not make trouble, you can be called a gentleman.' ”

The Qin army returned in a feather, and the remarks slandering Meng Ming were very loud. In fact, some people advocated burning Meng Ming to the heavens after the Battle of Kun, and these people are now attacking Meng Ming even more violently. Some good deeds even tied strips of cloth with words written on them to stones and threw them into the courtyard of Meng Ming's house, and the strips of cloth read: "Why are you still willing to live? ”

However, Qin Mugong still eliminated interference and firmly supported Meng Ming. In fact, Qin Mugong knew best in his heart: those who asked for Meng Ming's execution were all people who had no public heart; They either have an enmity with Meng Ming, or they pretend to be righteous and generous (the purpose is also only to curry favor with the monarch); Meng Ming has the excellent qualities of being loyal to the office and never admitting defeat; If Meng Ming is deposed, then the huge investment in the two failed campaigns will inevitably be in vain.

As a person who has experienced two catastrophes, Meng Ming no longer pays attention to fierce attacks from any political opponent, and he doesn't even bother to respond and retaliate; He just followed the example that Ling Yin Ziwen did after getting rid of Wang Zishan, increasing the national government, dispersing the family wealth, and re-imposing it to the people.

The information of the Qin State continued to reach the Jin State, and Zhao Yu said to the doctors: "If the Qin master comes again, you must avoid them; No one can resist the cultivation of virtue because of fear. The poem says: 'There is no thought of Erzu, and Yu Xiu is virtuous. 'Meng Ming misses the virtues of his ancestors, and he misses virtue without slacking off, who can resist it? ”

In the winter of this year, Xian Juju gathered the Song, Chen, and Zheng teams to attack Qin to retaliate for the "invasion defense" in the spring.

On February 20 of this year, the Lu people made the god of Lu Xigong (tablet). This work was supposed to be completed on the fourteenth day after Lu Xugong was buried, but now that nearly two years have passed, their actions are too procrastinating.

Soon, the Jin people sent an envoy to reproach the Lu people, saying that it had been two years since Lu Wengong ascended the throne, why hadn't he come to the Jin Dynasty to meet the alliance leader? Lu people are so rude.

However, when the envoy learned about the Lu people's slow appointment as the lord of the gods, he shook his head and said, "How can those who are disrespectful to the ancestors of their own country be expected to respect the monarchs of other countries? ”

In April, Duke Lu Wen went to the Jin Kingdom to meet the alliance leader. When the two countries were about to hold an alliance ceremony, in order to vent his anger and humiliate Lu Wengong, Jin Xianggong sent Yang Virgin Father to replace himself and Lu Wengong with blood. This incident greatly angered the people of the Lu State, and the Lu people did not show anything on the surface, but secretly threw themselves on the side of the Qi State. In the second year, Xiang Gong of Jin was afraid of losing the state of Lu, so he invited Lu Wengong to visit Jin again, and this time the two monarchs held a bloody ceremony in the state of Jin.

In June, Gongsun Ao went to Chuilong to attend a meeting initiated by the Jin State to defend the country. The host is the great Sikong Shiyu of the Jin Kingdom, and Shiyu is the son of Shibao and the father of Shihui. Chen Guoren, who attended the meeting, said that Chen Hou was sure to persuade Wei Hou to return to the alliance, so the alliance did not need to make a big move; If it is possible to bring the defense in by soft means, why use violence?

Then Chen Gonggong pulled Jin Xianggong and Wei Chenggong together, the two sides re-signed the alliance, and Kong Da was sent to the Jin State as a hostage; The contradictions between Jin and Wei have eased for the time being.

On August 13, the Lu people held a grand sacrificial ceremony for the Duke of Xu. In this ceremony, the high priest Xia Fu Ji placed the god of Lu Xu Gong in front of Lu Min Gong, and said vigorously: "I see that the new ghost is big, and the old ghost is small. First big and then small, Shun also; Put the Holy Monarch in front, Akiya. Ming, Shun, and courtesy. His rhetoric elicited unanimous approval from those in power and sycophants alike.

However, the doctor Zhan Yu objected on the spot, saying: "If it is in line with the courtesy, there is nothing unpleasant." The sacrifice is a major national event, but the Master carried it out in a way that violates the Zhou etiquette, can it be called 'shun'? Even if the son is revered as a sage, he cannot be sacrificed before the father; Therefore, Yu is not preceded by Kun, Tang is not preceded by Qi, and King Wen and King Wu are not preceded by Buyao. Emperor Yi of Song Zu and King Zheng Zuli are the ancestors of the two countries, and they cannot be followed by Weizi and Huangong. Therefore, "Lu Song" has a saying: 'The Spring and Autumn Period is liberated, and the worship is not disrespectful; The Empress of the Emperor, the Emperor of the Emperor. Therefore, the rite in the gentleman's heart must be sacrificed to the emperor first, and then it will be Houji's turn. ”

Many of the doctors bowed their heads and remained silent after hearing this, so the prince had a gloomy face and ordered the sacrifice to proceed as originally planned. The next day, Zang Wenzhong impeached Zhan Yu, saying that he was disrespectful to the monarch and arrogantly discussed the sages; Lu Wengong was also dissatisfied with Zhan Yu's uprightness, so he demoted him to the south of the city to guard the city gate.

In fact, Zhan Yu and Zang Wenzhong's grievances have been entangled for a long time, Zang Wenzhong is jealous of Zhan Yu's good name, and Zhan Yu looks down on Zang Wenzhong's dignified face. But Zang Wenzhong has a high position in the office, so he often crushes the other party, and it is not the first time that Zhan Yu has been demoted because of the other party's accusation.

Once a huge seabird called the Shoju flew in the east. The seabirds stayed outside the east gate of Qufu for three days, and Zang Wenzhong led the people to worship the dwelling. Zhan Bird said: "That's just a bird, Zang is ignorant, he actually sacrificed the national ceremony, I really don't know where his benevolence and wisdom are." ”

Later, Confucius said: "Zang Wenzhong has three unkindness and three unwisdom." crowding out the birds; Set up six customs to levy; make concubines weave cloth and compete with the people for profit; It's three unkindnesses. Privately possessing a turtle named 'Da Cai', offering it every day like offering to the ancestors, conniving at Xia's father to hold a reverse ritual, sacrificing seabirds to live in the house, and being three unwise. ”
