Chapter 413: Han Ju retreats, and the Jin Kingdom loses Chen
In the winter and October of the seventh year of Lu Xianggong, Han Ju decided to resign from the post of general of the Chinese army to Jin Mourning Gong due to age and health reasons. Han Ju planned to take his eldest son Han Wuji to see the mourning father, but Han Wuji refused. It turned out that Han Wuji broke his leg during a military operation, leaving him disabled; He usually can't even stand on his feet, and can only walk slowly on crutches, which makes it impossible for him to fight the enemy like a normal person.
Han Wuji said to his father: "The poem says: 'Don't you sleep all night, and say that you will do a lot of dew. And he said, "Bow down to your relatives, and the common people will believe." 'I am neither able to carry out the orders of a prince nor to set an example for my countrymen; The son is not talented, so he will not live up to his father's teachings by giving up his position. So, please make (Han) the heir! Han Ju praised his son's noble character and took Han Qi into the palace.
Han Ju entered the political arena in the era of Jin Chenggong and is still a veteran of the Four Dynasties. Han Ju is the grandson of Han Jian and the son of Han Ziyu. Han Jian never came back after being belittled by Jin Huigong; Han Ziyu died young, and he entrusted the young Han Ju to Zhao Dun before he died. Zhao Dun regarded him as his own, so that he and his son Zhao Shuo ate and lived together, studied and trained together, so Han Ju was not only Zhao Dun's adopted son, but also his student.
Han Ju started from Zhao Dun's imperial army, and soon became the seventh doctor, and achieved the position of the great Sima during the Jinggong period; After that, he was promoted all the way and finally became the secretary of the office.
In the history of the Jin Kingdom, there are two figures who can be called flawless, one is the Shihui and the other is Han Ju. Han Ju did not establish remarkable achievements like Shihui, Xun Linfu, and Luan Shu, but his words and deeds affected the political situation of the Jin State all the time; And his greatest contribution to the Jin State was to persuade the Duke of Jin Jing to move the capital to Xintian.
Jin Mourning Gong was very sad about Han Ju's resignation, and he was unwilling to lose this most upright and noble person in the world. Jin Mourning Gong kept it three times, and Han Ju refused three times. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Jin Mourning sighed and asked him for a successor.
Han Ju said: "Zhigang does not run away for the country, does not take refuge for the family, and can be the secretary." Jin Mourning Gong was then promoted to Zhigang to the general of the Chinese army, and ordered Han Qi to be the secretary; He heard what Han Wuji said when he resigned as heir, so he appointed him as the chief prince of the clan.
At the end of the year, Sun Lin's father was ordered to visit Lu State. After the death of Duke Wei Ding, Sun Lin's father gradually regained his previous high-flying and domineering virtues.
Lu Guoren held an award ceremony for Sun Lin's father, Lu Xianggong slowly climbed the steps from the east side, and Sun Lin's father climbed up from the west at the same time, and the two went up in parallel. Sun Bao, the uncle of the minister, was furious, and he ran to Sun Lin's father in small steps and stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: "The widow did not walk behind the Wei Hou at the meeting of the princes, but now the master and the widow are going up side by side; The widow doesn't know what's wrong, so please don't be impatient! ”
Only then did Sun Lin's father realize that he had committed a big taboo, and finally paused. But he neither apologized nor gave any explanation, and still maintained that "who loves whom" face.
Later, his uncle Sun Bao said to his friend: "Sun Tzu will definitely flee again, but as a courtier, he vainly tries to be equal to the monarch." He made mistakes and did not repent, and this is the foundation of the family. "Poetry" says: 'Retreat from food and self-righteousness, and entrust the snake to the snake.' Only obedient courtiers can behave calmly; A person who is strong on the inside but calm on the outside will inevitably invite disaster. ”
Soon, Chu ordered Yin Zinang's division to go north to surround Chen, and the princes sent troops to rescue Chen, and the Chu army immediately retreated. Since Chen Guo defected to the Jin State, he has been attacked by the Chu State every year. Although the princes of the Central Plains would rush to the rescue every time, the passionate confidence of the Chen Guoren at the beginning was worn away by the enemy.
"Where the teacher is, thorns are born; After the great army, there will be a fierce year. This "division" and "army" did not refer to the enemy alone: needless to say, the arrival of friendly troops also caused great damage to the Chen state.
At that time, the real power figures of Chen Guo were the two brothers Qinghu and Qingyin. Qinghu said: "When our country formed an alliance with the Chu State, the country was stable, the people were rich, and the farmers and industrialists were at peace. Well, now that enemy forces are ravaging the south of our country, friendly forces are ravaging our north (since reinforcements usually come in from the north), and allies are even more damaging than the enemy. Is it just that we are asking for help from the Jin Kingdom to get this evil result? It's time to solve this puzzle! ”
Qingyin said: "Do you want to rejoin the Chu State?" But the Jin State is too strong, and if we betray, the Marquis of Jin will definitely not forgive us. ”
Qinghu said: "Then create an illusion that you are 'forced to surrender' to the Chu State!" ”
The two then devised a trap that eventually forced Chen Aigong to betray the Huaxia Alliance.
It turned out that Chen Aigong had a particularly close brother named Gongzi Huang, and Gongzi Huang's wife Qi was the princess of Chu. The Qing brothers then secretly contacted the people of Chu and said: "Please summon the Qi family to return to China, and Gongzi Huang will accompany her; Then detain Gongzi Huang, and my brother can persuade the widow to change his mind. ”
A few days later, a messenger came to Chen to see Gongzi Huang and his wife, and the messenger said that Mi's mother was terminally ill and asked Mi to return to China as soon as possible so that she could see her mother for the last time.
The Mi family was in a hurry, and immediately packed up and prepared to leave, and she asked Gongzi Huang to accompany her back to China. Gongzi Huang said: "I can send you to the border of Chu State, but you can't enter, because once I enter the border, I can't come back." ”
The team marched all the way to the state of Chu, and the people of Chu were already waiting for them at the border. When Gongzi Huang saw the receiving army, he immediately said goodbye to his wife and planned to return to the state of Chen. As a result, the Chu people scattered the Chen people with a small charge, and they captured Gongzi Huang and prepared to take him back.
Gongzi Huang said: "I am not a criminal of the Chu State, and how can you cross the border to arrest people?" ”
The people of Chu said: "Isn't there such a saying, 'Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. 'Will my king, who has taken his courtiers in his own land, pick a place?' ”
When the news reached Chen Guo, the Chen people were shocked, and the Qing brothers were overjoyed. At that time, Chen Aicheng was attending a princes' meeting in a certain place, and Qinghu sent someone to report to him. Chen Aigong was so anxious that he cried, he said that he would never see his brother again in his life.
The messenger comforted him and said, "Don't be in a hurry, prince. The people of Chu said that if the prince renounced the alliance with the Jin state, everything would be negotiable; Renfu has already subjugated the law, and the reason why Chen Guo left Chu State is gone; The state of Chu has never killed the royal secretary for a small country, and if killing the husband can't make the prince change his mind, the king of Chu can only effectively imitate King Zhuang and personally come to Huaiyang to inquire about the matter. Doctor Qing said that it was time to return to the state of Chu. ”。
Chen Aigong had no idea at all, so he quietly left the camp that night. At the meeting the next day, the Duke of Jin saw that Chen Hou was absent and sent someone to summon him, but the messenger found that the Chen people were more eager to find Chen Aigong than they were.
After the messenger returned to restore his life, Zhi Gang said: "The escape from the alliance happened to Zheng Wengong, who betrayed the Qi State and took refuge in the Chu State after returning to China. We have lost the state of Chen. ”
