After Yin Zhi became a secretary, Jin Jinggong gave him Wendi as a quarry. Wen was located within the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and was surrounded by the Eastern Zhou lands, and was an enclave of the Jin Kingdom. He was not satisfied with the land area of the province, so he used all kinds of small means to get the land near the city into his own hands.

Those lands can be conditionally circulated within the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but they must not fall into the hands of the princes, otherwise one day the entire royal city will be bought by the princes, and the Son of Heaven will live on someone else's land.

Those shady transactions were finally exposed one day, and the royal family was in an uproar. The Zhou people said: "What kind of lord dares to exchange the royal family's land for money? He is not selling land, but the inviolable power of the royal family (if there is any)! According to this trend, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will become the 'Eastern Jin Dynasty' in less than fifty years! ”

King Zhou Jian was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, with the result that those involved were executed in different ways according to the severity of their crimes. Later, the Zhou people found Hao Zhi, hoping that he would spit out the illegally acquired land.

Yin Zhi pursed his lips, shook his head while listening, and then said: "Things are not so simple, those people took the initiative to find me and sell me the land at a high price, otherwise Wenyi's caravans and supplies will not be allowed to pass through their territory, I was forced to have no choice but to agree." Now you have put men to death, and you have come to me and demanded land; Even if it's a Rong Di barbarian, you can't fail to abide by the contract, right? ”

Due to Yin Zhi's stubborn attitude and refusal to carry out the order, King Zhou Jian had to send two heavyweights, Liu Kanggong and Shan Xianggong, to Xintian to file a complaint against Yin Zhi.

The matter has become a big one, and he has to put away his previous arrogant face and replace it with a loyal and sincere face. He said to Jin Ligong: "Wen is the hometown of the Jin Kingdom, and Yan was originally Wen's acropolis. Yan was destroyed by the Di people due to the war, and was taken away by the Zhou people. The minister bought him back through legitimate means, and it was entirely for the benefit of the office. ”

Liu and Shan said: "Back then, King Wu Keshang gave Wen Feng to the great priest Kou Su Xiansheng. In the third year of King Xiang, Su Zi was uneasy about his throne and defected to Di (ten years of Lu Xugong), and later fled to Wei. The Jin Xianjun Wen Gong defeated the Chu army in Chengpu, and King Xiang gave Wen to the Jin State in recognition of the merits of the Wen Gong. Jin Jun successively gave Wen to the Fox Clan, the Yang Clan, and finally it was the turn of Xun Zi. If Wen is whose hometown, then Wen is the first to be owned by the royal family, how can it be the turn of Xun Zi to talk about the word 'so'? ”

Jin Ligong felt that the pattern was too small and too greedy. The world is boundless, where can land not be obtained? Why do you want to compete with the royal family for the fast projectile city? The reputation of the Jin Kingdom is already stinky enough, and the Duke of Jin Li will never offend the Zhou people in order to make a few more bags of millet in the warehouse every year.

After listening to the statement, Duke Jin Li ordered Yin Zhi to return the Yi to the royal family.

When Jin Chenggong returned to the Jin Kingdom from Chengzhou, Jin Jing was just in his prime, and Jin Li Gong had just entered the juvenile stage. Due to the relatively simple life in exile in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Jin Ligong did not receive a decent education since he was a child. He spends most of his time in the streets, in the company of peddlers. After returning to the Jin Kingdom, Jin Ligong still maintained the state of life in Cheng Zhou, he dozed off when he picked up the book, but as soon as he arrived at the training ground, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the weapon and gave birth to inexhaustible strength.

Jin Ligong has a reckless personality, rude speech, hates red tape, likes to use force to solve problems, and is also particularly righteous. Jin Li Gong advocates the strong, and those scholars who can beat him to a blue nose and swollen face, he treats them as guests. This led to a group of strong and powerful delinquent youths around him.

When Jin Ligong ascended the throne, those scholars gradually entered middle age; Except for Xu Tong (Xu Chen's great-grandson), who had the position of doctor, the rest of the people were all low-ranking nobles at the rank of sergeant.

Jin Ligong wanted to promote some people to doctors, but that group of little hooligans couldn't get into the eyes of the ministers at all, and every time Jin Ligong proposed an appointment, the ministers fiercely opposed it. The ministers were able to cite a hundred charges to prove that the person was not qualified to hold the position at all, and even Jin Ligong felt terrified when some evil deeds were announced.

As a result, Jin Ligong had no choice but to revoke his appointment stupidly, and went back to scold his partners: "Among you, no matter who can do a good deed, he will have become a doctor by now!" ”

Among those people, only Xu Tong is decent in his work; Jin Ligong calculated: "Since you can't put those mud on the wall, it's better to promote Xu Tong to the secretary." ”

Soon after, Zhishou resigned from the Zhongjun Zuo to Jin Ligong for age and health reasons. Jin Li Gong thought that the opportunity had come, but he was worried that the direct issuance of the order of "Xu Tong to fill the position of secretary" would be opposed by the ministers, so he pinched many appointments such as "Shi Xie as the Zhongjun Zuo" into an order, so that the ministers could not agree with half and oppose half of them.

But when the appointment was announced, the ministers saw through his tricks at a glance, and Zhongxing Geng and Sanhe immediately expressed dissent.

Zhongxing Geng said: "When the first monarch appoints the secretary, he must first hold a big ceremony and listen to the opinions of the secretary before it can be determined. And the decree of appointment must be issued separately and cannot be written in a single order. ”

Xu Chen brought Yin Que back to the Jin Kingdom from the recklessness and recommended it to Duke Wen of Jin, and the Yin family embarked on the road of rejuvenation; And after Yin Que climbed to the rank of general of the Chinese army, he was ungrateful, and he actually drove Xu Chen's grandson Xu Ke from the throne. Since then, the Xu clan and the Xu clan have become inseparable enemies.

He said: "The Zhi clan has made great contributions to the Jin Kingdom, and it cannot be demoted; And Xu Jia was exiled, Xu Ke was dismissed, and the Xu family has been useless for a long time, and it cannot be hidden above the Zhi family. Otherwise, who will be loyal to the country? ”

Luan Shu agreed with the opinions of the secretaries, and Jin Ligong had no choice but to order Zhi Gang to be the secretary, and Xu Tong's plan for the first promotion was aborted.

Later, Zhongxing Geng also resigned, and Jin Ligong brought up the old matter again, but Zhigang and Sanhe obstructed it; Jin Ligong had no choice but to hit the line and become the king.

Both encounters were defeated, and the relationship between Jin Ligong and the ministers became worse and worse.
