This year there was also turmoil in the country of Ju in the east.

It turned out that Ju Jigong (what is this called) originally appointed his eldest son as the prince, and later wanted to abolish the prince and set up his youngest son Tuo as the prince.

The prince servant was furious, so he mobilized the countrymen to kill Ju Jigong. Gongzi Tuo and the doctors united to attack the prince, but the prince was defeated, fled into the country of Lu with the treasure, and dedicated the treasure to Lu Xuangong.

Lu Xuangong was very happy when he saw that someone had sent a huge bribe as soon as he came to power. He then ordered a city to be given to the exiles and handed it over to Ji Wenzi for execution, saying, "He must be granted a fief today." ”

After accepting the king's order, Ji Wenzi summoned the chief priest and demanded that he immediately expel the prince's servant, and said, "He must be driven out today." ”

As a result, the exile lost all his wealth and land, and had to flee from the country of Lu in disgrace.

Lu Xuangong was furious when he learned that the order had been tampered with, and he asked Ji Wenzi to enter the palace immediately to explain the reason. But Ji Wenzi was not in Qufu at the time, so he asked Taishi to reply: "The first doctor Zang Wenzhong once taught his ministers to serve the monarch's courtesy, and the ministers have always regarded it as a golden rule and dare not disobey it. He said: 'If a man is courteous to him, he should be treated as if he were a parent or mother; To those who are disrespectful to the monarch, let it be like an eagle chasing a bird. In the "Zhou Rites" formulated by the ancestor Zhou Gong, it is said: "Then you will look at virtue, treat things with virtue, do things with merit, and eat the people with merit." He also made an oath and said, "If you destroy it, you will be a thief, if you hide it, if you steal a bribe, if you steal a weapon, you will be a thief." The name of the main collection, the use of adultery, is a great evil, there is no forgiveness, and it is not forgotten in "Nine Punishments". ’

"The ministers are all over the court, and there is nothing to be desired. Filial piety and faithfulness are virtues, and thieves hiding traitors are murderous virtues. The servant said that he was filial, and that he had killed his father; Saying that he was at the right time, he stole the national treasure. So he's a standard criminal, and the treasure is the stolen goods. To protect criminals is to harbor; To reward criminals is to encourage crime. Reward the sins to show the people of the country, and the people of the country will have nothing to do. This man had no virtue, only evil, so the ministers expelled him from the country.

"Gao Yang's (颛顼) has eight sons who have both ability and integrity, and the people of the world call them 'Bakai'. Gao Xin also had eight talented sons, known as 'Eight Yuan'. These sixteen ethnic groups have produced many talents and have endured for generations. When Emperor Yao was in power, he could not appoint sages, and after Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he began to promote and appoint people with eight Kai and eight yuan, so the world was peaceful.

"On the contrary, the Dihong clan, the Shaohao clan, and the Zhuan clan each have a bad son, these three clans are chaotic countries, but Yao can't get rid of them, and then the Jinyun clan also has a stubborn son. When Shun assisted Yao, he exiled the four clans with an iron fist, so the world was governed. Therefore, after Yao's death, the people of the world unanimously supported Shun as the emperor, and the reason was to appoint sages and expel wicked people.

"Shun has twenty great merits in the world, although today's minister did not recommend a sage, but removed a murderer, compared to Shun's merits, there is also one-twentieth. For the sake of this merit, can the prince be exempted from the sins of his ministers? ”

Lu Xuangong said: "It's also good, the widow got a treasure but saved a city, and got a good name, which can be regarded as punishing the servant severely." ”

The eighteenth year of Lu Wengong was really a chaotic year, and at the end of the year, there was another turmoil in the Song Kingdom.

At that time, the political forces of the Song State were divided into two major factions, one faction was the Dai Ethnic Party, with Dai, Zhuang, and Huan as the core, and the three ethnic groups included the Huang Clan, the Le Clan, the Hua Clan, the Zhong Clan, the Xiang Clan, the Yu Clan, the Dang Clan, and the Scale Clan; The other faction is the Wu Party, with the Wu and Mu ethnic groups as the core. Now the six secretaries of the Song State are basically held by the Dai party, and the Wu party is obviously at a disadvantage.

After Song Zhaogong was killed, his sons were not liquidated and still lived safely in the Song Kingdom. The sons seem harmless on the surface, but their hearts are full of dangerous thoughts; They resented Uncle Song Wengong for killing their father and vowed to break the murderer into pieces. The sons then began to approach the depressed warrior doctors.

Due to the huge difference in strength between the two groups, they are at peace with each other, otherwise the Wu clan would have been wiped out long ago. And through a series of means and provocations, the sons stirred up the resentment of the Wu clan against Song Wengong and the Dai clan. But people felt that the strength was not strong enough, and the Wu clan doctor went to woo Song Wengong's half-brother, Dasicheng Gongzi.

Gongzi Xu is not so much that he has always stood firmly by Zibao's side, but that his political vision is very unique and he bets on the right size. Later, when Childe was promoted to a position beyond his own abilities and conduct, he became rampant and greedy.

Song Wengong noticed the change in his brother and solemnly reminded him not to become a person who was resented by others. But Childe Su thought to himself: "If I didn't want to climb to the throne, why did I support you in fear in the first place?" If I can't enjoy power, what's the point of climbing to the throne?! ”

The Wu clan doctor saw through Gongzisu's heart, and began to encourage him to go further and fight for the power of the monarch. However, Gongzi Su fell into the demon of extreme thirst for power, and he eventually joined the rebel group, preparing to overthrow the rule of Song Wengong.

But the shrewd Song Wengong had already sensed the signs that the conspirators were about to start a rebellion, and he quietly arranged the countermeasures.

In December, Song Wengong was going out hunting. The conspirators decided to take advantage of the situation, and the location of the incident was set in a villa built by Hua Couple in the suburbs, which was located on the road that Song Wengong had to travel.

The night before the operation, Childe had to pass information on to his accomplices, and the messenger was captured by Song Wengong's spies. In the face of ironclad evidence, Childe had to admit his crime; Duke Wen of Song ordered him to be executed, and ordered the armed forces of the Dai, Huan, and Zhuang clans to attack the villa.

Most of the conspirators were killed or captured, and the few lucky breakouts escaped into the endless darkness under the cover of night.

After the investigation of the incident, Song Wengong was shocked by the number of people, the number of families, the scale and the influence of the rebellion; He had to issue an expulsion order to expel all the clans belonging to the Wu and Mu clans from the Song Kingdom
