After Jin Jinggong abdicated, he no longer cared about political affairs, but concentrated on recuperating and relaxing. The new monarch had little experience in governance, so the doctors gathered around Jin Ligong all day long, helping him understand the situation of the country and teaching him how to handle government affairs; In this way, the doctors rarely visit Jin Jinggong, and Jin Jinggong is also happy to be clean.

On a stormy night, Jin Jinggong was awakened by the sound of violent thunder. Outside, the wind swept over the canopy of the eaves, whining; The rapid raindrops seemed to have countless hands knocking on the window lattice portal, making a palpitating sound. Jin Jinggong felt that his chest was almost suffocated, and he opened his mouth to call the minister, but his voice was covered by the sound of thunderstorms, and he couldn't even hear it.

Jin Jinggong felt upset, he picked up the quilt, pushed the door on the ground and walked to the front of the hall to prepare for ventilation. Suddenly, by the light of lightning, he saw a thin and extremely tall ghost. The ghost covered the ground with his hair and cloak, and shouted at him miserably, "You! What a heinous crime you have slain in killing my innocent offspring! I have made a complaint against the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor has ordered me to come and bring you to heaven for trial! ”

Jin Jinggong seemed to be connected to high-voltage electricity, and the hairs all over his body exploded. He took a few steps backwards, turned and stormed the room, and the ghost stretched out his hands forward, revealing his long, dry fingers like spider's legs, and his knees did not bend back, and he jumped "bang" and broke into the door after him.

Jin Jinggong crawled out of the back door and ran into another room in the pouring rain, and ghosts followed. Jin Jinggong couldn't run anymore, he leaned against a pillar, his body stiffened, his eyes wide open, and he watched in despair as it plunged its claws into his chest, clutching his weak heart.

Jin Jinggong woke up suddenly and found that the experience he had just experienced was nothing more than a demon dream. He was sweating profusely, and his heart was beating violently, as if he was trying to break free from the confinement of his chest. Jin Jinggong rested for a long time, and finally took a breath. He ordered someone to send his royal sorcerer, the Great Witch of Sangtian.

The wizard listened to Jin Jinggong's narration, and his face was full of heaviness. He suddenly noticed a few grains of wheat scattered on the ground beside Jing Gong. He asked why those wheat grains appeared in the house, and Jin Jinggong was also frightened, and said tremblingly: "I don't know! —he couldn't have something in his bedroom that would only be found in a kitchen.

Kuwatian asked him to summon Zhao Ji, and then asked her about some of the history of the Zhao family.

After the inquiry, Jin Jinggong asked Zhao Ji to withdraw. The wizard shook his head and said, "The wheat ripens in June. The minister asked Zhao Ji just now, and the Zhao family was brought down from Uncle Zhao only Zhao Shu died in June, and the great power that the prince dreamed of was sure that it was Zhao Shu. You will definitely die before his death, and the wheat on the ground is not husked, which means that you will not taste the new wheat this year! ”

At this time, it was less than a month before the new wheat harvest. Jin Jinggong was in a heavy mood and wanted to determine his condition. But there was no famous doctor in the Jin State, so he sent back the generals of the Qin army who had been captured in the battle with the Qin State last year, and asked the Duke of Qin Huan to send the most famous doctor and doctor of the Qin State to save his life.

When the doctor was still on the way, Jin Jinggong had another demon dream. He dreamed that his illness had turned into two white and fat little boys, and one of them wept and said, "As soon as the medical treatment comes, we will surely die, what do you think we should do?" ”

Another said, "It's okay." We hide under the fat at the tip of the heart, under the ointment (heart valves), even if the ghosts and gods come, what can we do? ”

The little boy who asked the question immediately burst into tears and laughed, clapping his little hands and applauding.

A few days later, he came to Jin Jinggong's sickbed and shook his head after a diagnosis: "The disease of the prince is above the belly and under the ointment. He is terminally ill, the needle stone is out of reach, the medicine is out of reach, and there is nothing he can do! ”

The doctor's narrative coincided with his dream a few days ago, and Jin Jinggong couldn't help but sigh: "What a miracle doctor!" After he was sent off to the hospital, he quietly waited for death to come.

In the early morning of June 6, Jin Jinggong had not yet gotten up. A few close ministers were idle and chatting together. One of them boasted to his companions that he was about to be developed, because he dreamed that he was carrying Jin Jinggong on his back to the sky.

After Jin Jinggong got up, someone reported that the new wheat was ripe, and the agricultural official had just sent the first bag of wheat of the year to the palace, and the wheat rice would be steamed in half an hour. After a while, the attendant brought a bowl of hot and fragrant rice to Jin Jinggong.

Jin Jinggong stared at the rice bowl thoughtfully. He summoned the Great Witch of Sangtian into the palace, let the god who was accustomed to using "confession" to gain fame show the rice in the bowl, and then ordered someone to execute him for the crime of great rebellion.

Before being carried out, Sang Tian Dawu said: "The destiny of heaven will never change!" The prediction result is the same, Doctor Qin is rewarded, but I am offended; You're a dumbfounder! The prince killed me, but he just added another accuser against you! ”

Jin Jinggong snorted, reached out to touch the chopsticks, and suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen. He stretched out his hand to summon the minister, who had nothing to dream, and asked him to carry him to the toilet. The minister sent him into the hut and waited outside the door. After a while, he suddenly heard a loud "hole" sound from inside; The minister hurriedly entered, only to find that Jin Jinggong had disappeared out of thin air.

The minister couldn't help but shout urgently: "My lord, where have you been?" ”

Then he heard someone shouting at his feet, "The widow has fallen!" ”

The minister said, "My lord, the minister will pull you up immediately!" ”

Jin Jinggong shouted: "Less nonsense! You're stepping on a widow's hand! ”

When the minister dragged Jin Jinggong up from the dung pit, he was no longer breathing. The minister immediately rushed out with the corpse on his back, and the scene was exactly the same as what he had dreamed of at night; As a result, a eunuch reported the minister to the courtier, and the minister was killed and buried.

Jin Jinggong reigned for nineteen years. During his reign, the Jin people experienced both heart-wrenching defeats and exhilarating victories: the Jin army was defeated by Chu in the Battle of Chengpu, but then destroyed the Lu State and Chidi, and later defeated the Qi division in the Battle of Qi, and avenged the Chu State in the Battle of the Horn.

Jin Jinggong made several decision-making mistakes in his later years, he first showed weakness to Qi Guo, then used troops against Tan State, and finally detained Zheng Bo on the basis of only subjective assumptions.

These mistakes, while not shaking the fundamental position of the Jin state in the alliance, drew a downward sloping curve; Where the Jin Kingdom goes depends on how its successor, Jin Ligong (the name sounds harsh), governs.

In July, Lu Chenggong came to the Jin Kingdom; When he set off from Lu State, Jin Jinggong was still alive, and he received bad news halfway through. Since no other princes were present at the funeral, Duke Li of Jin happily left Duke Lu Cheng to carry the coffin.

The people of Lu were deeply ashamed, so they did not record this incident in the Spring and Autumn Period.
