In the sixth year of Lu Xianggong (BC567), there was a small civil strife in the Song Kingdom.

It turned out that Hua and Le's of the Song Kingdom were both descendants of Song Daigong; Hua Weak and Le Ran's mother is a good sister, and the two children are of the same age, so Hua Weak and Le Rou have been playing together since childhood, and later they studied and trained together, and then became officials together in the same dynasty after becoming adults. The proximity of blood and excessive closeness make the two regard each other as their closest partners, so the two have always spoken and acted casually, never caring about each other's feelings.

The two of them went overboard and ended up resenting just over trivial matters. Because this resentment arises from extremely irrational emotions, it is particularly difficult to resolve.

Six years ago, the Great Sima Lao Zuo died in the Battle of Pengcheng, when Hua Qiao and Le Lu were both popular candidates for succession. After careful consideration, Hua Yuan finally proposed to Song Pinggong that Hua Qiao, who was mediocre but cautious, should serve as the chief Sima.

Le Lu almost exploded his lungs, and he said: "If that nest is appointed as the Great Sima, it will really be a great blessing for the enemies of the Song Kingdom. This time the defeat experience of the Song people will be the richest in the world! ”

Hua Yuan was very unhappy when he heard these words, and he asked Dasicheng Lexi to discipline Lexi strictly. Le Xi found Le Rein and just persuaded him a few words, Le Rein interrupted him and said: "In terms of status, you are the patriarch of the Le clan; In terms of age, you are my cousin; Of course I will obey your orders. But this matter involves the national community, so I will never take back what I said! Hua Weak will definitely become a disaster for the Song Kingdom, and I will never allow him to sit in the court and harm the office! If you're on Fahrenheit's side, you're my enemy, and I'm going to see you as the same person as Fahrenheit. ”

Le Xi couldn't afford to provoke the stunned young man who was not afraid of heaven and earth and the forces he represented, so he had to shake his head and leave.

In the spring of this year, a gang of rogues suddenly appeared in the border towns of the Song Kingdom. The Liukou committed several shocking answers to the Song Kingdom, they openly killed people and sold goods in broad daylight, so that the border people only dared to go out during the day when they gathered more than a dozen people, and at night they simply huddled together for the night.

Enraged, he sent several armies to destroy the Rogue, one of which was commanded by Lere. Luckily, he ran into the unlucky bunch on the third day of his departure. Le Lu suppressed the rogues with a single charge, leaving only a young man alive and beheading the rest on the spot.

He issued a proclamation to the people, and then returned home with the prisoners and booty.

Song Pinggong was overjoyed, and gave him a big treasure bow in front of the Manchu Dynasty doctor, and he couldn't put it down and couldn't help it. Due to the short size of the rein and the long length of the bow, the height of the bow seemed to be even higher than his.

The doctors all congratulated the musicians at the right time, but Hua was weak but sourly and said a cool sentence: "I advise you to pull the bow horizontally, otherwise the horn of the bow will pierce your shoes." ”

Le Lu was furious, he picked up the bow with the bowstring, put his arms around Hua Qiao's neck and pulled him back, Hua Qiao held the back of the bow with both hands, staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. Le Lu said: "Is this how it is pulled? Lord Sima! Thank you, Master Sima, I saw your demonstration! ”

Those present couldn't help but be shocked, and people wanted to see what kind of fierce conflict would happen next for the two enemies. Hua was embarrassed to get up, but he didn't have the slightest anger, he just blushed and lowered his head and retreated into the sequence. This reaction surprised all those present, and it was felt that the puppet could not tolerate such a serious insult, let alone the supreme military commander of a great power. Hua Qiao's performance is really insulting to his status as a secretary.

The doctors moved their eyes to Song Pinggong, whose eyes were full of disappointment and regret, and he said: "Da Sima was imprisoned in the court with a bow in public, but he didn't know how to resist, and he had lost the ability to continue to perform his duties. Weak, how can you defend the security of the country if you can't maintain your dignity? How do you establish your prestige in the army, and how do you establish your prestige in the hearts of your enemies? Weak, you're really too weak! Stand down, and don't enter this court again. ”

Hua Wan immediately bent down and withdrew with small steps, and the news spread in Song Guo the next day. There has never been a shortage of good deeds in the Song Kingdom, and Le Lu specially found some people who spoke particularly badly. Those people gathered in front of the gate of Washington and shouted inside: "My lord, can we not get angry and fight back when we are beaten by the enemy?" Hua was really unbearable to be harassed, and he had no face to continue to stay in the Song Kingdom, and finally fled to the Lu Kingdom.

But Dasicheng Lexi was dissatisfied with this result, and he said to Song Pinggong in private: "Hua is incompetent, but Lelu insulted the monarch in public, and he also committed a big crime. If two people are guilty, they cannot punish only one person, otherwise they will be derelict in punishment. So please expel the Rak out too! ”

Song Pinggong didn't make a decision immediately, but just said that he needed to think about it.

That night, Le Lu learned the news, and he came to the door of Le Xi's house in a military uniform, riding in a chariot, and holding a big bow. Seeing this, Lexi's family hurriedly closed the door. Le Rou pulled out his longbow horizontally and fired two arrows at the door, which penetrated deep into the door panel and "buzzed". Le Lu shouted, "Joy, you dare to expel me!" Hua Weak is your role model, I'll send you to see him in a few days! ”

After Lexi left, Lexi's retainers dared to poke their heads out to open the door and pull the arrow off the door panel. There was a group of people watching the excitement in front of the door, and they said loudly: "Sima doesn't have a little courage, Sicheng can't even keep his own home, what can we do if something happens to our little people?" ”

Since there was no third person present when Lexi spoke to Song Pinggong, the news must have been leaked by Song Pinggong. Only then did Le Xi figure out that Song Pinggong didn't want to punish Le Lu at all. "If the monarch doesn't care, why should I bother with this? Since the monarch does not uphold the laws of the state, why should I, a courtier, bring disaster upon myself? Lexi thought so.

Early the next morning, the doctors gathered in the side room and waited for the court. Le Xi saw that Le Lu was still aiming at him with threatening eyes, so he took the initiative to come up and say, "You must have misunderstood me, or heard some rumors; You and I are brothers of the same kind, and I will never do anything unfavorable to you. ”

"Fortunately, you and I are brothers of the same clan, otherwise yesterday would not have been a matter of two arrows." ”

In the spring of the seventh year of Lu Xianggong (BC566), the monarch of Tan visited Lu for the first time. In the summer and April, the Lu people only carried out divination for whether to hold the suburban sacrifice (sacrifice Houji) after ploughing, which was the second time that the Lu people made a mistake (the first time in the 31st year of Lu Xugong) - the suburban sacrifice ceremony must be held before ploughing, so there is no need to divinate whether to hold it. As a result, the results of the Lu people's divination three times were all great murders, so there was no suburban sacrifice that year.

Later, someone pointed out to Meng Xianzi that he violated the Zhou etiquette. Meng Xianzi said: "Only then did I know that the original suburban sacrifice should be held before cultivating the land. And since the cultivation has already begun, it will definitely be unlucky to carry out divination. ”

This year, Ji Wuzi repaired the city wall of Feiyi. It turned out that at that time, Uncle Zhong Zhaobo was in charge of the public office tunnel (in charge of the requisition and management of servants), and he wanted to curry favor with Ji Wuzi, but he never had the opportunity. Later, he happened to meet Feiyi's Yi Zai Nanyi on a certain occasion, so he said to Nanyi: "I passed by Feiyi a few days ago, and I saw that many parts of the city wall were damaged. If you want to repair the walls, I can send more servants for you. ”
