Duo Chenzi did not approve of the attack plan, and he had a faint premonition: he felt that the Jin people were destroying Chidi with the help of Chidi's power. But the orders of the Jin people are unquestionable, and disobeying the will of the Jin people can only die faster than the Jia people.

Shihui saw the other party's worries and comforted him: "(Zhou Ding) In the tenth year of the king, the Chu army entered Zheng. The Chu people were able to destroy Zheng but not yet, and you know the reason. Now that Jin and Duochen are allies, and Chidi is an enclave in Jin, isn't every piece of land captured by Duochen's? Besides, there are also Yao Zhiru and Dongshan Gaoluo Clan, and the widow needs Duochen to lead the rest of Chidi, so he has absolutely no plans for Duochen. ”

Duo Chenzi was a little relieved at this time. Taking advantage of the victory, the coalition forces crossed Jingcheng into the North China Plain and quickly surrounded the castle. Thirty miles southeast of the former Xing Kingdom, the Jia clan was a small country marginalized by the Chidi, and the Jia clan was completely unable to resist the attack of the two armies, and soon fell.

Duo Chenzi climbed the castle tower, stood on the city wall and looked east, as far as the eye could see, there were flat rivers and fertile fields, and only in the extreme distance did the outline of the mountains faintly appear.

Duo Chenzi was very happy in his heart, and Luan Shu took the opportunity to persuade him: "There are many Rongdi around the Jia clan, if you don't deploy defenders in the city, I'm afraid that the Jia clan city will become someone else's spoils." ”

Duo Chenzi left an army to defend the city as he had suggested, and he sent people to return with prisoners of war and booty; As a result, the forces around Duo Chenzi were greatly reduced.

At the end of February, the invincible Duo Chenzi led his army back to the division, and the army was besieged by the Jin army on the way. The Duochen army is surrounded by mountains on the left and right, blocked in front and back, and has fallen into a desperate situation. Duo Chenzi woke up like a dream, and he sighed: "The heart of the fox, the journey of the tiger and the wolf; Staying here, it is still possible to fight against the Jin State. The widow is simply crazy, why should he help the enemy to destroy the brother! ”

In a pre-battle speech to the sergeants, he first reflected on his ignorance and greed, and then expressed great remorse and self-reproach; He also strongly condemned the ferocity and deceit of the Jin people, and talked about the reality of their desperate situation.

Duo Chenzi finally said: "You all know the fate of those who have lost their country, they can no longer be called human beings, but only slaves and animals. You all have slaves in your family, and you think about whether you want to survive or die in battle! The widow has hatred in his heart, and the widow is ashamed of the people who stayed behind, so the widow decided to fight to the death! The brave die in battle with the widows, and the cowards succumb to death in the yoke of their masters. ”

The Duochens immediately erupted in the last of the mourners' roars, which echoed through the valley for a long time. The cavalry jumped on their horses and charged directly, while the infantry grabbed their weapons and galloped after them. Scenes of suicidal charges in the Jin army were commonplace, the commanders calmly issued various orders, and the soldiers carried out the orders in an orderly manner.

Seeing the corpses piling up and the attack to no avail, the Duochen's actions became more and more frenzied. The soldier was moved with pity, and he knew what the enemy was afraid of, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shout: "He who lays down his arms and surrenders, he can still keep his liberty and property; The captives cut their noses and the whole family was enslaved! ”

Some of the enemy soldiers scolded the Jin people as "liars", but some people threw down their weapons and fled empty-handed into the Jin army's position. The thirst for life still occupied the hearts of most people, and more and more people surrendered, while Duo Chenzi fought to the death with the most determined soldiers.

The Jin army took the prisoners of war away, destroyed many cities, and moved the remnants of the country to places they could control. Due to the vacuum in Chidi's original sphere of influence, Baidi soon began to expand eastward, gradually filling those areas, and later established several states, including Xianyu, Gu, and Fei.

The great achievements of the Jin army caused a sensation throughout China, and even the Chu people thought it was too incredible.

In March, the Jin people held a grand ceremony to present prisoners to the royal family, and at the same time, the Jin Jinggong asked for the death of King Zhou Ding for the sake of the scholars. With the permission of King Zhou Ding, the Jin Jing Gongming Society was able to wear a yellow crown to command the Chinese army, an honor that even surpassed that of ordinary monarchs, and the Shihui became the only minister of a vassal state in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period to enjoy this honor.

Jin Jinggong also handed over the burden of Taifu to the Shihui and ordered him to take charge of the country's justice. The Scholars Association revised and perfected the laws enacted by Zhao Dun, rectified the judicial environment, and required officials at all levels to act strictly in accordance with the law.

As a result, a large number of cases were fairly adjudicated, and many criminals, fearing punishment, fled to the paradise of the criminals, the state of Qin; The city has become safe and prosperous, the social outlook has been renewed, and Jiangdu has become the most desirable place for business travelers in the world.

The doctor said: "I heard that Dayu appoints good people to govern, and bad people leave." That's what happened. The poem says: "Trembling is like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice." It means that good people govern. If good people are in power, the country will not have anyone who is lucky enough to violate the law of the country. As the old proverb goes, 'The people are fortunate, but the country is unfortunate.' It is said that there is no good person in the heavens. ”

In the autumn of that year, King Zhou Ding's uncle, Wang Sun Su, fled to the Jin Kingdom for refuge.

It turned out that Wang Sunsu had always been at odds with Zhao and Mao. Just last year, when the Jin army destroyed the Lu Kingdom, the Taishi Zhou Gong died. Wang Sunsu and Zhao Daigong both wanted to get the position of Taishi, and the two sides fought happily. In order to help summon Dai Gong and fight Wang Sun Su, Mao Bowei also joined the palace fighting group.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Wang Sunsu frantically instructed Wang Zijie to assassinate two political enemies.

In this year, Zhao Daigong's son Zhao Xiang led the anti-Wang Sun Su forces to make a comeback, and they first attacked and killed Wang Zijie; Wang Sun Su was so frightened that he snatched the clothes of a dung-picking slave and put them on his body, and fled from Cheng Zhou in a hurry.

In the face of the chaos of the royal family, King Zhou Ding behaved as stable as ever: he had no strong emotions, and he did not hold anyone accountable, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

However, Jin Jinggong was very worried about the safety of the royal family, and he would not let go of this opportunity to put gold on the face of the Jin Kingdom, so he sent the Shihui to Chengzhou to mediate the royal dispute. The Priests' Association lived up to its mission and soon brought the parties to the conflict to a settlement.

After the event, the king of Zhou Ding invited the scholars to the banquet, and held a ceremony of the funeral, and the original Xianggong was the official of the ceremony.

Hao is to ascend, that is, the ritual of placing sacrifice above the food vessel (俎); Place the whole head to sacrifice it to become a whole coffin, which is only used to sacrifice to the heavens; Half of it is only called Fang Hao or body recommendation; After dismembering the sacrifice, it is put into the coffin, also known as "folding", which is a gift for the Son of Heaven to entertain the princes and ministers. The Shihui had never had the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of etiquette of the royal family before, so after the banquet, he privately asked the original Xianggong about the origin of the etiquette.

King Zhou Ding heard the question of the Shihui, so he summoned him and said, "Ji, haven't you heard? The king held a gift for the princes, and held a banquet for the ministers. These are all rituals that are unique to the royal family. ”

After returning to China, the scholars recorded the rites in the classics, and used them to revise the laws of the Jin Kingdom.
