This chapter is about a civil strife that broke out in Xinzheng during the siege of Xinzheng by the princes of Lu Xianggong in the tenth year.

It turned out that Zisi had a small name called "Wei Zhi", and the two studied and trained together since childhood, eating and living together, and they were inseparable. When he grew up, Zisi was promoted from doctor to Yaqing, while Wei Zhi only became a sergeant due to his bloodline. But his low status did not prevent him from living a high-profile life, and he often used his son's relationship to mingle with a group of sons and grandsons, as if he was one of them.

Later, perhaps because he felt that the relationship between the two was too close, or perhaps because of jealousy, Wei Zhi often teased Zisi and embarrassed him. Zisi was angry and spoke ill of him, and as a result, the childhood friend quickly broke off their relationship.

You must know that once a friend who was once very close turns his face, the degree of resentment towards the other person must be much stronger than the hatred of other people. Wei Zhi offended people who shouldn't be offended, not to mention that he was still Zisi's subordinate, so he had a very difficult life in the future.

At the beginning of the period, Zisi didn't plan to fix him badly, but just caused him a little trouble from time to time to vent his stinginess; But since he snatched Wei Zhi's "boyfriend", the relationship between the two has become like water.

It turned out that Wei Zhi accepted a concubine, and he boasted about how beautiful the concubine's appearance was, how wonderful her figure was, and how wild her habits were.

Zisi's curiosity and ** were greatly aroused. One day, Wei Zhi's concubine went out for a stroll, but was kidnapped by Zisi's men in a remote place. The kidnapper brought the concubine to Zisi, and when Zisi saw the concubine's true face, she couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Wei Zhicheng doesn't deceive me!" ”

This scandal spread all over Xinzheng the next day, and the people of Zheng Guo were going crazy, and the streets and alleys were talking about jokes about him, and as a result, Zisi had to run to a villa in the suburbs and hide for many days.

After that, Zisi began to gradually deprive Wei Zhi of his rights and treatment: he first reduced the number of chariots led by Wei Zhi; Later, Wei Zhi captured the enemy in the battle, and Zisi took the prisoner for himself, and even deprived him of the qualification to sacrifice the prisoner.

Zheng Guo also has four small clans, namely the Si clan, the Du clan, the Hou clan and the Zishi clan, and those clans have had conflicts with the Si clan. At that time, Zisi ordered the construction of a drainage ditch, which happened to pass through the land of the four families; Zisi expropriated their land but did not pay compensation, and as a result, they lost a large part of their property.

The five families all hate Zisi to the core, and the patriarchs gather together to plot a conspiracy, intending to kill him while the enemy is present. The conspirators counted the number of people on their own side and felt that the strength was clearly insufficient; Wei Zhi proposed to bring in the remnants of Zihu and others, and as a result, the supporters of the fourth prince who were persecuted by Zisi also joined in.

At that time, the prince of Zheng Guo's office was "Dangguo (Zhengqing)", Gongzi Fa was Sima, Gongsun was Sikong, and Gongzi Jia was Situ.

There is no mouth in the world that does not gossip. A rebel inadvertently leaked the plot to one of Childe Ka's retainers, who immediately reported it to the head of the family. At that time, if Gongzi Jia warned Zisi and Ziguo, the turmoil would be nipped in the bud. But Gongzi Jia, who was full of interests, had a wishful thinking in his heart: "If my brothers are all dead, then I won't be the boss?" So he chose silence and escape.

In the early morning of October 14, the doctors entered the palace as usual. After the morning was over, the ministers went to their respective government offices. At this time, the private armed forces of the five families broke into the palace under the leadership of Wei Zhi, Sichen, Hou Jin, Block's father, and son's master and servant, and the henchmen of the four princes either followed the crowd or acted in the palace.

The thugs went straight to Qing Shiliao, and the Qing doctor had no idea what was going on, so he immediately scattered and fled. But Zisi, Ziguo, Zi'er, and some brave doctors drew their swords and called on the people to fight the rebels. As a result, Zisi was killed on the spot, and Ziguo and Zi'er were killed on the way to gather soldiers. The rebels came fiercely, they dispersed the palace guards, and directly broke into Zheng Jiangong's main bed and abducted him.

Gongzi Yan's son, Gongsun Xia (Zixi), was at home at the time, and when he heard the news, he was so angry that he ran out recklessly without even putting on his armor. He broke into the palace and saw that the bandits had gathered in the area of the North Palace, and the people did not dare to trespass on the palace gate, so they all gathered outside the palace to watch the excitement, and the palace guards were helpless. Zixi first found his father's body and ordered his followers to collect it; He looked around and saw that there were few people around, so he had to run back to gather the clan armor. But when they broke into the house, they found it as if they had been robbed: almost half of the male and female slaves had escaped, and some had robbed their masters of their belongings as they fled.

When the child heard the bad news, he did not rush into action. He ordered the doors of the house to be closed, armed the clansmen, set up guards in the treasury, gathered the slaves together and kept them under strict guard, and equipped seventeen chariots. After making all the preparations, he led the chariot and the column of armor soldiers to the palace city.

Zichan collected his father's corpse and immediately began to storm the North Palace, where the bandits were entrenched. At this time, Gongsun Yan also mobilized the Chinese people, and the participation of the Chinese people greatly improved the combat efficiency and chaos. Zichan sent someone to send a message to Wei Zhi: "Release the monarch, and the other families of Baoer will not be destroyed, otherwise they will all be killed." Wei Zhi thought about it again and again, so he had to send Zheng Jiangong out.

Then the attackers launched a big charge, and the lieutenant and the servant were killed on the spot, and the rebels were almost completely annihilated, and several other bandit leaders took advantage of the chaos to escape. Several people got out of the drainage ditch of the city wall, Hou Jin fled into the Jin army, blocking the female father, Si Chen, Si Qi, and Wei Pian to escape into the Song Dynasty.

After Zheng Guoren cleaned up the scene of the rebellion, the members of the office did not have time to mourn the dead and immediately called an emergency meeting. Childe Kashi reappeared, and he first condemned the rebels' atrocities with righteous words, as if he were innocent; Then the conversation changed and said that the country's top priority was to determine the candidates for the three secretaries; As the oldest prince and chief situ among the seven Mu doctors, he deservedly held the post of secretary; Only in this way can he better govern the country and train the next generation of officials.

No one objected to the first half of this paragraph, so he successfully became the secretary of state; But the second half is too harsh, so it causes widespread dissatisfaction among the doctors. The office added three more secretaries, namely Zixi, Zichan and Gongsun Yan's son Liangxiao.

At the beginning of his tenure, Gongzijia began to rely on the old and sell the old land to issue various willful decisions. He gathered the doctors together and held a bloody ceremony in the Taimiao. In his book, he wrote: "From now on, whoever does not conform to the post of secretary of state will have the right to deal with it." "In this way, he has made himself a dictator who covers the sky with one hand.

However, the doctors and their sisters-in-law who were present spoke out against it. Childe was furious and ordered the firing squad to be summoned and prepared to use force against the opponents. Zichan stepped forward and said, "The books of the rulers and the doctors of the past dynasties are hidden in the treasury, but if there is a copy that says that, I agree to sign it; Otherwise, burn it! ”

Gongzijia said: "All affairs are from scratch, from reality to history, and I have written it into it today, so that future generations can see it." If you offend the anger of the public, you will burn the book, and you will become a doctor in power, so what is the use of going to the court? ”

Zisan continued: "The purpose of signing the book is to stabilize the country, and the language that is not conducive to the country will never appear in the book. It is difficult to commit public anger, and it is difficult to achieve single-mindedness; Stabilize the country by means that lead to two dangers, and the disaster of the country will come. If book burning can stabilize the country, you will get power, the people will be safe, and both sides will have their own place, isn't that exactly what everyone wants? Single-mindedness is unsuccessful, and you are guilty of trouble, think about it yourself! ”

Gongzijia was also afraid that he would be carried down as soon as he climbed up, so after thinking about it, he finally burned the book in public.

Although the incident has been calmed down, he has exposed his evil nature, and his reputation has been ruined by himself; Zheng Ren was unwilling to accept the position of the secretary of state to be occupied by a villain who was a vegetarian eater, and dragged him down from his position a few years later.
