After the country was swept away by the powerful Qin army, the Jin people felt very aggrieved. But even more serious than the humiliation was that the Jin people feared that the princes would misjudge the performance of the Jin state, and thought that the Jin state would be subjugated by the Qin state from then on (after all, the Jin army did not dare to face it head-on, which is unimaginable in the history of the Jin state).

The people's apprehension was not unreasonable, and the Allied envoys came to pay their respects with hypocritical expressions on their faces and hypocritical concerns in their words. The performance of the Lu people was especially even worse - Lu Wengong only sent a very low-status middle doctor. When the Jin people reproached the Lu people, the Lu people replied: "Because the great doctor of the upper kingdom, Yangzi, had a bloody affair with the widow king, the small country did not dare to send a doctor with a higher position than Yangzi to envoy to the big country." ”

The Jin people couldn't help but begin to reflect on their foreign policy towards the Lu State, and Zhao Yu said: "The first monarch dominated the world with morality, but you undermined morality with incivility; The prince was rude first, so he gave Lu the truth. People all over the world say: 'Zhou Li is all from Lu. 'If you want to get the country of Lu, you must first obey the Zhou rites. Therefore, please correct the mistakes made last year and treat Lu Hou with the courtesy of the monarch. ”

In the third year of Lu Wengong, the Jin people went to Lu to ask for a revision of the covenant. Lu Wengong came to the Jin Kingdom again, and Jin Xianggong personally attended the alliance ceremony, so that the relationship between the two countries could be repaired.

In the spring of the fourth year of Lu Wengong, the Jin people released the Wei Guo hostage Kong Da to improve the rigid relations with the Wei Guo.

Conda was widely praised as a heroic figure in the Patriotic Empire. Even if the "hero" served as a hostage in the enemy country, he was respected and treated favorably by the other party, so Kongda's life in the Jin country was still very comfortable.

During that time in the Jin Kingdom, Kong Da made friends with Zhao Yuan, Xu Chen and other famous people in the world. He was filled with admiration for them, and gradually changed his hostility towards the Jin state (in fact, "reforming the hostage mentality" was a basic strategy of the powerful state). After his return to China, Kong Da became a link in the development of relations between the two countries, and under his mediation, Wei Chenggong met with Jin Xianggong in the summer. Wei Chenggong also met Cao Gonggong, who went to Nagong and listen to the government in the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin state stabilized its hegemony through a series of diplomatic means, and then sent an army to retaliate against the Qin state. In the autumn, the Duke of Xiang of Jin drove westward, and the Jin army crossed the Yellow River westward, besieging the city of Yuncheng and Xincheng (formerly part of the Liang State). At that time, the Qin people were preparing for the conquest of the princes of Xirong Thirteen Roads, and they did not want to be disrupted by the invasion of the Jin people, so they did not meet the attack. The Jin army withdrew after showing off its might outside the two cities.

In the fifth year of Lu Wengong, Zhao Yuan, Luan Zhi, Xian Jiju, and Xu Chen died successively. The loss of four ministers in one year is an unimaginable disaster in other countries; But the Jin State still has seven secretaries, which is enough to keep the state apparatus functioning normally. However, Jin Xianggong did not plan to implement the ten-secretary system, so he canceled the establishment of the two new armies in the spring of the following year, during the Great Serval Ceremony held in Yidi, thus restoring the three-army six-secretary system.

At the big ceremony, Xu Qin resigned from the throne due to his age, and some old doctors also withdrew from politics one after another. In this way, the older generation of politicians in the Wengong era completely withdrew from the stage of history (fox Yan and fox fur have also passed away). The political arena of the Jin Kingdom underwent a major reshuffle and power was redistributed, which caused fierce competition among the major families.

At that time, the list of the six secretaries drawn up by the Duke of Jin Xianggong was: Shiyu (the father of the Shihui), Liang Yier, Ji Zheng, Xiandu, Yin Que, and Luan Dun. Among them, Sergeant and Liang Yier were designated as the new generals of the Chinese army. But Xian Ke, the son of Xian Jiju, privately persuaded Jin Xianggong: "The Hu clan and the Zhao clan have great merit and the Jin Kingdom, if you forget their merits, I am afraid you will not be able to persuade good; Besides, Fox Shooting Gu and Zhao Dun are young and talented, and they can take on the important responsibilities of the country, so it is better to award the secretary of the Chinese army to these two people. ”

Jin Xianggong, who has always had no opinions and has very soft ears, changed his original decision without thinking, and as a result, the names of Shiyu and Liang Yier were crossed out from the list of secretaries, and they were replaced by Hu Shugu and Zhao Dun. Jin Xianggong then announced the changed decision at the canonization ceremony.

Shi Yu and Liang Yi'er had already changed into their robes at that time, and they were happily waiting for their appointment; After hearing the decision of "Fox Shooting Gu is the general of the Chinese army, Zhao Dun is the left of the Chinese army", the two couldn't help but look at each other, and Shiyu blurted out: "Master, do you think it's fun?" The two had to bow their proud heads in humiliation and retreat to the back. The doctors looked at each other, and the scene was silent.

Happiness came too suddenly, and with blank expressions, Fox Shooting Gu and Zhao Dun walked to the front of the ranks of ministers to accept the canonization.

Jin Xianggong's stupidity sowed the seeds of turmoil in the future; But this was not the end, and soon after he made another serious mistake, which led to an open break between the two major clans of Hu and Zhao.

During the Xianggong period of the Jin Dynasty, Yang Virgin Father can be said to be quite an active and very important figure, but this person was not from a famous family. He was born into a family of declining scholars, and his parents were both retainers of Lu nephew, and the hard life of his youth made him determined to get ahead in the future.

Yang's father was smart and studious, with a strong physique and a tenacious temperament, so his father found him a beautiful place to accompany the Lu family to study. Later, Duke Wen of Jin seized the throne of Duke Huai of Jin, and Nephew Lü fell; Fearing that he would be implicated, Yang fled incognito to the border towns to work as tenants for the lords. Soon after, Duke Wen of Jin issued an order pardoning sinners and recalling the exiles, and Yang returned to the capital, ready to show off his skills and break into a new world.

But it is not easy to get on the throne. There were so many people with great ambitions (or ambitions) like him that Jin Wengong really didn't have the energy to inspect the large number of aspiring young people one by one, so he issued an edict requiring the waiters to be recommended by the doctor before they could be received.

After some thought, Yang Virgin threw himself into the fox gate. After inspecting him, Hu Yan thought that he was indeed a rare talent, and he promised to recommend him to Jin Wengong within three months.

But after three years, Huyan still didn't do anything, just asked him to educate his two sons, and sometimes consulted him on some state affairs. Only then did Yang Virgin understand that the other party did not want to let him come into contact with the Duke of Shang Jin; The reason may be because the fox is jealous of his talent, or maybe he just wants to keep him for his own use.

Yang Virgin's father left Huyan in anger and took refuge in Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yu also inspected Yang Virgin, and asked the other party in surprise why he didn't come to him as soon as possible. The cunning Yang virgin concealed his experience in the fox family, and just made up an excuse casually.

Zhao Yu is a well-known real person, he did not have the slightest suspicion of Yang Virgin's father, but the young Zhao Dun reminded his father to investigate the details of Yang Virgin's father before making a decision.

But Zhao Yu said: "If it is beneficial to the office, you must do it, otherwise it will be disloyal." ”

Zhao Dun said: "It would be unwise to introduce a person of unknown origin to the office. Zhao Yu was furious and turned to grab the sword; Zhao Dun saw that the situation was not good, jumped up and fled with a smoke.
