In this year, a huge civil strife broke out in Weiguo, the reason for which was the old grievances between Wei Hou and Sun that had been precipitated for two generations, and from the mean and intolerant narrow-mindedness of Wei Xiangong and Sun Lin's father.

This year is the eighteenth year of Wei Xiangong, Wei Xiangong's performance in the first few years of his reign was quite decent, he only spent his energy on hunting, feasting, and working in the harem in addition to handling government affairs; Monarchs and ministers don't get along with each other, they play their own games, and no one hinders anyone.

But the relationship between the two was later pulled together by Dingjiang.

It turned out that when Wei Dinggong died, Jiang was in the prime of life, and Wei Xiangong was in the prime of life; After the funeral, Wei Xiangong took possession of Dingjiang, and he seemed to never be able to vent his blazing ** in Dingjiang. But on the other side, his ** is very vindictive; This is because Ding Jiang said some words at Wei Dinggong's funeral that made Wei Xiangong feel disgraced, and those words just said the common voice of the doctors: "Why didn't the first monarch set up Gongzi Yan (Zixian) as the king?" ”

Ding Jiang almost wanted to commit suicide under Wei Xiangong's tyrannical bullying. But in the darkest moment of her life, Sun Lin's father quietly came to her side, gave her care and comfort, accompanied her through one humiliating night after another, and encouraged her to live strongly. With the support of Sun Lin's father, Dingjiang decided to launch a rebellion; She wrote a letter to her brother Qi Linggong, hoping that he could stop Wei Xiangong's shameless behavior and not ruin the princess of Qi at the hands of a perverted villain.

This letter played a key role, and Qi Linggong immediately sent an envoy to Wei Guo, scolded Wei Xiangong, and said that if he dared to humiliate the first lady again, let him taste the thunderous methods of the descendants of the prince of Qi. Wei Xiangong was afraid of the people of Qi, and felt that the revenge was sufficient, so he temporarily let Ding Jiang go.

At this time, the core figures of the Weiguo Office were Sun Lin's father, Ning Zhuang (Ning Huizi), Zixian, Ziqiao, Zibo, Zipi and other ministers. Among them, Sun Lin's father and Ning Zhuang are one faction, and Wei Xiangong and Zi Xian and other brothers are one faction.

Later, Zipi brought up the past again at a banquet, talking about the arrogance and rudeness of the Qi people and the fearlessness of Sun Lin's father; Those words uncovered the old scars on Wei Xiangong's heart. Wei Xiangong was already half-drunk at that time, and the strong effect of alcohol hooked out the humiliation that he had hidden in the deepest part of his heart; He couldn't help but slap the table and scold Qi Linggong, threatening to knock out his brains when he saw him again.

But Zipi said: "What is more hateful than Qi Hou is Sun Lin's father, without him as the backstage, Ding Jiang will never ask Qi Hou for help." ”

Zibo said: "Only brothers in the world are the most trustworthy, and the two generations of the Sun family have held the power of Shangqing, and they have done nothing but turn the defense of the country into a private domain." The prince can't let the Sun family do anything wrong! It's time to get rid of Sun Lin's father, if the prince sends his life, our brother will do his best to help you fulfill your wish! ”

Ziqiao agreed with the brothers' ideas, but Zixian objected. The reasons for his opposition were purely clichés, nothing more than the "clichés" that Dingjiang persuaded Wei Dinggong back then, and as a result, he was ridiculed by his brothers, who thought that those reasons were not worth mentioning. Next, the group of sons began to discuss how to get rid of Sun Lin's father; Zixian didn't want to get involved in the conspiracy, so he stood up and withdrew under the pretext of being too drunk.

A few days later, Zibo found Wei Xiangong and asked him when he was going to do it. But once Wei Xiangong regained his senses, his fear of Sun Lin's father prevailed again, but his courage disappeared. He said in a secretive and flickering manner that everything was under control, and advised Zibo not to be impatient, just wait for his orders.

Uncle Zi knew Wei Xiangong too well, he could see the cowardice in the other party's heart at a glance, and withdrew without saying anything. He said to his brothers, who were waiting anxiously outside the palace gate: "The prince is not successful, I am afraid that it will affect us, and we must prepare to flee." ”

Soon the Duke of Jin Mourning ordered the western expedition to Qin, and Wei Xiangong left Sun Lin's father in the capital to defend the country, and he personally led the army to the expedition. After Wei Xiangong returned to China after completing his mission, he prepared to set up a luncheon to entertain Sun Lin's father and Ning Zhen.

The two ministers solemnly changed into solemn court clothes and came to the palace on time, but they were told that Wei Xiangong was not in the palace. The two waited hungry, but Wei Xiangong disappeared without a trace, and did not make arrangements for them, leaving the two in the court and ignoring them.

When the sun was in the west, Sun Lin's father felt that his blood sugar was low to the surface of his feet; He couldn't stand it anymore, so he called the minister who passed the message and asked Wei Xiangong where he was and what he was doing.

The minister stammered and said, "The villain has just learned that the prince is shooting geese in the garden!" ”

Father Sun Lin held back his anger and said, "Quickly take me and Ning Zi to see the prince." ”

Sun and Ning entered the garden, and the minister hurried to report. Wei Xiangong was dressed in military uniform, wearing a leather jacket on his head, holding a longbow, and carrying a quiver, and came to meet the two in a chariot.

Wei Xiangong's move can be regarded as a declaration of war on the two ministers.

Originally, the Zhou rites stipulated that on such occasions, the monarch should take off his military uniform and change into court clothes and ceremonial officials to meet the ministers; And the military uniform represents the crusade.

Wei Xiangong came to the two of them, said some painless sorry words, and invited the two to the banquet again at noon the next day. Erqing was angry, and left after a few perfunctory words with Wei Xiangong.

Wei Xiangong's Cheyou Gongsun Ding said: "Junhou, you have completely offended these two enemies, if you don't plan early, you will definitely suffer from them." ”

Wei Xiangong said: "It's just two old men, how can they be widowed? ”

Wei Xiangong is such a person: he didn't have the courage to destroy the Sun family, and he didn't want others to think that he was cowardly and incompetent, so he used such small tricks to disgust Sun Lin's father, so as to show the world his dominant position. As everyone knows, his pediatric methods cannot hurt Sun Lin's father by half a point, but they can only incur his hatred, the ridicule of others, and bring himself the serious consequences of being expelled.

Sun Lin's father really didn't want to see Wei Xiangong again, he was ready to go out of the city to relax for a few days, so he left his son Sun Kuai in the city to deal with affairs, and rushed back to Qiyi that night. At noon the next day, Sun Kuai attended the banquet in place of his father and listened to Wei Xiangong's orders.

Wei Xiangong felt that his disgusting method of Sun Lin's father had worked, and his heart couldn't help but be full of small pride; He wanted to keep the effect going, so he asked the musician to sing the last chapter of "Clever Words" during the banquet.

The great musician was terrified—this poem was meant to express great anger against his enemies. The musician's hand shook, and the strings snapped, and he said, "The strings of the minister are broken, and they can't be played and sung." ”

But Shi Cao, the deputy of the great musician, volunteered to perform this piece, and the great musician coughed and spat and sneezed at Shi Cao, his lungs were about to cough out, and his mouth was dry, but he just didn't hear it.

Shi Cao Fuqin sang: "Who is he? The moose of the river. No fist, no courage, the job is chaotic. It's both small and small, what is Eryongyi? For Judah will be many, how many disciples are there? Shi Cao deliberately used provocative eyes, exaggerated expressions, fierce emotions, and high-pitched tones to express the meaning of this poem vividly and vividly during the singing period, stimulating Sun Kuai's nerves to the greatest extent.
