Due to the civil strife, the Jin State Office had no time to take care of it, so Lu Guo began to take the opportunity to reap the benefits.

As mentioned earlier, the State of Lu is a small country in the east of the State of Lu, and the people of the State of Lu regard themselves as arrogant and look down on the State of Lu, and the State of Lu does not fear the State of Lu at all by relying on the power of the State of Qi. Since the two countries are not used to seeing each other, border friction often occurs.

Later, one of the sons of Duke Wen of Yi couldn't get along in the country because of the power struggle, and he went to Lu like a lost dog. Lu Wengong was overjoyed, and he wanted to use the exiles to fight against the state of Di, so he wanted to grab a fief for him.

In the spring of the seventh year of Lu Wengong, the Lu army invaded the country under the personal leadership of Lu Wengong, and the Lu army did not dare to face the battle, but only focused on defense. In March, the Lu army flicked a shot and turned around to occupy the unsuspecting vassal Xuju, who had nothing to do with the dispute between the two countries, but suffered from the disaster of the pond fish. The Lu people expelled Lu Wengong's uncle Xu Jujun and placed the exiled son of the State of Yi there.

The sentence is sandwiched between the two countries, and naturally becomes the object of contention between the two countries. This small city is really full of disasters and difficulties, when Lu Xigong was twenty-one years old, Xu Ju was annexed by the State of Lu, and Su Jujun was exiled to the State of Lu; The following year, the Lu army drove the Di people away and returned the exiles to the throne. As a result, twenty years later, the benefactor of the past in turn destroyed the current city-state. Honest people think that Lu Wengong has gone too far.

The following is the entire process of Song Zhaogong from his accession to the throne to his death. This process lasted nine years and is scattered throughout the sections of the Zuo Biography. It is neither easy to write nor read if it is narrated by year, so I will put it in a chapter.

In the seventh year of Lu Wengong, there was a serious civil strife in the Song Kingdom.

It turned out that Song Chenggong died in early April of this year, and the crown prince Pestle was enthroned for Song Zhaogong. At that time, the six Qings were: the right master Gongzi Cheng, the left master Sun You, the great Sima Leyu, the big Situ scales, the big Si Cheng Gongzidang, and the big Si Kouhua Yushi.

When Song Chenggong was alive, there was a civil strife in the office caused by the establishment of a successor. Prince Kijiu was nearly killed in the turmoil, and he has been suffering from severe persecution paranoia ever since.

Song Zhaogong thought that his brothers (except for a few people such as Gongzi Wei) were born into this world to murder him, and as a result, his paranoia infected many brothers and doctors around him.

Song Zhaogong was very supportive of the Jin State's system of exile of the princes, and he thought that this method was also applicable in the Song State, and he wanted to expel his brothers, and told his thoughts to the ministers, but he was generally opposed.

Le Yu said, "No. The public office is the branches and leaves of the office, and the normal form of the office is like a towering tree with lush foliage; If the foliage is removed, the trunk will have nothing to shelter. Kudzu can still protect its roots (so gentlemen often compare it to it), let alone the king of a country? It is not feasible to cut off those who can seek refuge. If they use virtue to attach themselves to their brothers, they will become ministers of the humerus, who dares to have a second heart? The monarch should dispel this thought. ”

Others expressed similar opinions, and Song Zhaogong, under pressure from the ministers, verbally expressed repentance and examined himself, but secretly actively prepared for the removal of his brothers.

Song Zhaogong took a series of measures to turn the originally peaceful and harmonious office into a huge cage, where the monarch and the doctors were trapped together with nowhere to escape, and he became the most dangerous beast in the cage.

The sons really felt the impending danger, and they lived with trepidation and lived like a year. Some wanted to escape, and those who were unwilling to be slaughtered decided to fight back. The sons contacted the two Wang clans, Mu and Xiang, who were also hostile to Zhaogong, and the two clans provoked the anger of the people against the new monarch. As a result, during the funeral of Song Chenggong, the sons led a huge civil army to attack the palace.

At that time, there were still many officials in the palace, and Sun Gu, the former great Sima Gong, was also among them. Gongsun Gu is very old, and he has already returned to his hometown, and this time he entered the palace for the first father's spirit.

Gongsun Gu quickly gathered the officials and fought against the rioters together with the palace guards. However, the area of the palace was too large, and the number of rioters was too large; The defenders did not have enough strength to resist the attack and had to be forced to shrink inside several large buildings.

Gongsun Gu, the captain of the palace guard, Gongsun Zheng, and many other high-ranking nobles died heroically, and their heroic actions bought precious time for Song Zhaogong's shameful escape. The six secretaries mobilized family forces to support Song Zhaogong, and the office and the countrymen's armed forces confronted each other.

When the situation developed to the point where no one could move forward further, the two sides sat down to negotiate. Liuqing stood up and pulled Song Zhaogong and the sons together and persuaded them to reconcile.

Song Zhaogong reluctantly promised that he would never expel the brothers, and they could still perform their original duties, but the other party should hand over the murderers of Gongsun Gu and other old doctors. The sons also vowed to be loyal to the office and the society, and never to do anything harmful to the country.

The two sides held a bloody ceremony and wrote the agreement in the covenant; The sons found a few unlucky eggs with top bags and handed them to Song Zhaogong, who bled them one by one, hollowed out their internal organs, smeared them with salt and dried them out.

After this disaster, Le Yu is deeply worried about the future of the office. He is soberly aware that the crisis is only temporarily eased, and there is no possibility of resolving it at all; Song Zhaogong will not change his hostile attitude towards his brothers, and the sons of the group will not sit idly by, it is only a matter of time before the turmoil breaks out again, and Song Zhaogong will definitely be a loser.

Le Yu believes that he is in the position of the Great Sima and should be loyal to the office, but he has no ability to change the trend of the situation, and at most he will lose his life. "Since my position is not beneficial to the public office and harmful to myself, then why should I still do it?" Le Yu then asked Song Zhaogong to resign, but Song Zhaogong did not keep him, and turned around and awarded Da Sima to his cronies.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the official positions of each vassal state were set up and functioned differently. For example, the great Sima of the Jin State is only a military judge and is ranked as a doctor; The Sima of the Lu State was held by the Shusun clan from Gongsun Zi for generations, and there was no fixed position; The Great Sima of the Song State and the Chu State was in charge of the military power and ranked as Yaqing.

In this way, Song Zhaogong took control of the national army through Gongzi Wei. With Da Sima's support, self-confidence returned to him. Song Zhaogong returned to the high-flying and domineering state of the past, and kept saying that he "looked down on this, didn't look down on that", and finally offended the big man who was enough to kill him - Mrs. Xiang.

Song Xianggong is Song Zhaogong's grandfather, and Mrs. Xiang is his grandmother. Lady Song Xiang was the youngest sister of King Xiang of Zhou, and not long after she married into the Song Kingdom, Song Xianggong died; Mrs. Xiang, who was in the prime of her life, couldn't bear the loneliness of widowhood, so she looked for love everywhere. But before she took the initiative, many doctors from the noble clan took the initiative to greet her; Sometimes several people happen to arrive at the same time, and everyone simply has a good time.

When Song Zhaogong was still a son, he couldn't look down on Mrs. Xiang's debauchery. He said to his friends many times in private, such as: "This old woman is about to become the stepmother of all the clans of the Song Kingdom." Or, "I don't know which family's cemetery she should be buried in when she dies, do you want to have her body dismembered?" And "When she dies, she will definitely be the fattest ghost in the sky, because there are so many people who worship her." "Words like that.

When Song Zhaogong humiliated Mrs. Xiang, he also brought the doctor who had an affair with her by the way, so that Song Guo basically had no family that he did not have a crime about.

Mrs. Xiang has been in the Song Kingdom for 20 years, and she is by no means a submissive master. She found the three Dai clan leaders of the Hua clan, the Le clan, and the Huang clan, hoping that they could teach the grandson who had no one in his eyes and no one to hide.
