Chapter 294: The disaster of the Lu State is rooted in Duke Wen
It turned out that Lu Wengong married the daughter of Qi Xiaogong to Jiang as his wife in the fourth year of his reign. According to the provisions of the Zhou etiquette, the State of Qi should send the secretary to send the princess to the State of Lu, and the State of Lu should send the Secretary to greet him.
However, Qi Zhaogong killed or expelled Qi Xiaogong's sons because of his usurpation, and he did not want to evoke Qi people's memories of Xiaogong because of this big wedding, so he handled the matter very low-key: he just sent a doctor to send the princess in a hurry. The people of Lu felt insulted, and in retaliation, they only sent a doctor to take the matter back.
In this way, the ginger became a symbol of mutual depreciation between the two countries. Lu Wengong felt uncomfortable every time he saw her, and he was cold and distant from her. Out of Jiang later gave birth to the prince evil and the son of the son, out of the Jiang is not favored, and the prince has no power.
On the contrary, the second concubine Jingying was deeply favored by Duke Lu Wen with her beauty and charm. Jing Ying later gave birth to Gongzi Sui, and she did not hesitate to collude with Gongzi Sui, the first minister of the public office, for the sake of her son's future, and tried to make Gongzi become Gongzi's teacher.
After the death of Duke Lu Wen, Jing Ying and Gongzi Sui, the two most powerful women and men in the Lu Kingdom, lay down together and plotted how to put Gongzi on the throne.
The three secretaries of the Lu State at that time were Gongzi Sui, Shu Zhong Huibo and Uncle Sun Dechen. After Lu Wengong was buried, Gongzi found Shu Zhong Huibo and told him his thoughts, hoping to get his support.
Uncle Zhong Huibo was furious, and he shouted: "If you want to be Qing's father, you can't pull me to be your uncle!" With that, he jumped up and waved his cane away.
Unable to gain the support of Shu Zhong's family, and having some scruples about the identity of the monarch (because he was the grandson of Qi Huigong), Gongzi turned to Qi for help.
In July, Gongzi then led a delegation into Linzi to congratulate the new monarch of Qi on his accession to the throne; He then asked for a private meeting with Qi Huigong.
Gongzi then said: "The relationship between Qi and Lu has been collapsed by the first monarch of Qi, and some people in the Lu State have reached the extreme point of distrust of the great powers, and Peng Sheng (the name of Shu Zhong Huibo) is one of them. Foreign ministers, on the other hand, often interact with major powers and know much more about them than other doctors, so they believe that mutual trust should be established with them.
"Jun Evil is the eldest son of Madame and the nephew of a great country. The ascension to the throne was entirely based on the provisions of Zhou Li, not because he was helped by a great power, and he was influenced by a minister like Peng Sheng, so he would definitely not be good with a great power.
"But once he takes office, all the problems will be solved. Moreover, he was favored by Duke Wen because of his mother, and the doctors were willing to support him, but the decision was still in the hands of the prince. If the prince agrees to establish a widow, the widow will inevitably be grateful to the Qi people, and the anti-Qi forces will be defeated. If a prince bestows a favor on an ordinary prince, he can get a country, which is a great blessing for both parties. ”
What Gongzi then expressed was exactly what Qi Huigong cared about. There is indeed a stubborn and powerful anti-Qi force in the Lu State, who will oppose whoever is on the throne, but the Qi people have nothing to do with them.
After Qi Yigong was killed, most of his sons and the rest of the party fled to the state of Lu. The Lu doctors, who opposed Qi Yigong, turned to those people to give them good protection, and colluded with them to oppose Qi Huigong.
Qi Huigong was very worried that Yigong's old power would return, so he reached a cruel, bloody, heinous, and unspeakable and sinister deal with Gongzi: he acquiesced in Gongzi's killing of his grandson and made Gongzi his king; As a retaliation, Gongzi then exterminated the remnants of Duke Yi who were in exile in Lu.
The prince then returned to Qi with a huge conspiracy and a spring breeze on his face.
It's not that Shu Zhong Huibo doesn't want to fight back, but he has the intention to kill the thief but has no soldiers in his hands. Since the monarch is not favored by Lu Wengong, he naturally cannot get the support of the doctors; Gongzi was the favorite of Duke Lu Wen, and most of them attached themselves to him, hated him, and regarded him as a future monarch. Therefore, the root of the problem lies with Lu Wengong, not others, and Lu Wengong uses his own hands to make a mess of the order of the office.
Only Shu Zhong Huibo is still loyal to the king and evil, and the essence of this power struggle is the struggle between Gongzi Sui and Shu Zhong Huibo. In the eyes of the prince who covered the sky with one hand, Shu Zhong Huibo had no ability to fight back at all.
One night in winter and October, the doctors of Lu Guo had already left the official office and returned home to rest, and the palace was silent. Childe and his henchmen took over the Imperial Guard, killed the guards loyal to the king, and then rushed into the main bed where the monarch was resting, and brutally murdered him, followed by his younger brother Gongshi, and the brothers' mother, Izuki, was gagged and guarded with her hands tied behind her back. Jun Wei was only thirteen years old when he was killed, and Gongzi was even younger.
The prince immediately sent someone to summon his uncle Zhong Huibo into the palace in the name of Lu Hou. Liberty sent the messenger back and began to wear court clothes. His head of the house, Ran Wuren, stopped him and said, "Don't you ask, what is the reason why the prince summoned you so late?" I seem to be flustered, sweating and trembling, I am afraid that the son has already succeeded. If you enter the palace, you will die! ”
Huber said, "If there is a waste, there will be a stand; Why should you die at the behest of a king? ”
Gongran said: "Of course it's okay to die by the king's order, but what if it's not the king's order? ”
Huber didn't listen, he had already made up his mind to die. Hui Bo summoned his eldest son, Shu Zhongpi, and told him to obey the instructions of the head of the house, and then board the chariot and leave. As soon as he entered the palace, he was killed by the murderer, and his body was thrown into a horse manure heap.
After Hui Bo went out, Gong Ran didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately escaped from Qufu with the master's family and went straight to Chen Guo. A few years later, Lu Xuangong recalled Shu Zhong's family again, so that Shu Zhongpi inherited his father's throne.
Gongzi then established Gongzi as the king, it was for Lu Xuangong, who was only a teenager at the time, and the power was controlled by Gongzi. The monarch of the Lu State gradually lost power since the Xuangong period, and the doctors gradually deprived the monarch of his power, and finally formed a political pattern with the "Three Huan" as the core.
After the two sons were killed, Izujiang cried and howled in the palace all day long, and everyone wept when they heard her cry. Gongzi couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness, he couldn't tolerate the situation to continue, so he decided to send Jiang back to Qi State.
A few days later, Jiang returned to the Qi State. Xuan Che was marching on the streets of Qufu, and Jiang couldn't help crying: "Tianna, Tianna!" Zhong Wei is not a way, kill the concubine! Both of my children were killed by you, how will you face your ancestors in a hundred years? What is Shi'er's sin? Why can't you let him live?! Pedestrians in the market began to wipe their tears when they heard her cry, and the grieving people spontaneously followed the vehicle until it was sent to the outskirts.
The fate of the monarch is very similar to the monarch of the Qi country, and the Jiang is also very similar to the uncle of the son.
The original intention of the princes to form a marriage relationship was to closely link the political, diplomatic, and military affairs of the conceding countries through the establishment of kinship relations, and to form an alliance of "family and country". But then the authorities found out that if they could gain greater benefits by sacrificing blood relatives, they began to persecute their nephews.
Although the initiator of the tragedy was Gongzi Sui, Qi Huigong's evil deeds were undoubtedly even more heinous, because he used his superficial integrity to cover up the evil in his heart.
After returning to China, Jiang complained to Qi Huigong about Gongzi Sui's crimes, begging him to crusade against Lu to avenge the children. But when she saw the flickering gaze in her uncle's eyes and heard his vague prevarication, she understood everything.
Out of Jiang pointed at Qi Huigong's nose and shouted, "Uncle! Do you know why I didn't commit suicide in Lu country? It's because I still have hope of revenge in my heart. But how could I have thought that you were the culprit who killed the children! What generosity and charity! What is positive and desireless! You are the real tyrant more than the merchants! I want to die to tell my people how evil you really are! With that, she slammed her head into the pillar, and her brain burst to death.
Gongzi then fulfilled his promise, and he killed Qi Yigong's two sons and some friends. The conspiracy was finally revealed, and Gao and the second secretary of state boycotted the dynasty for several days in protest, and the two never said anything like Qi Huigong's "righteousness and no desire" after that; Qi people's support for Qi Huigong also fell to the freezing point.
