Chapter 435: Sun Lin's Father's Expulsion of Wei Xiangong (4)

After Youzaigu protected Wei Xiangong and arrived in Yundi, Wei Xiangong only gave him a dilapidated house and a few tenant farmers. Youzaigu is not the kind of person who is good at pleasing the monarch, nor is he a favorite of Wei Xiangong; He only happened to be in the palace at the time, so he was involved in the struggle between the monarch and the minister in a daze. He saw that these rewards were not only inconsistent with his status and merits, but also could not even support the retainers of his clansmen who had fled with him to this place, so he fled back to Chuqiu with his people in a fit of rage.

However, Sun Lin's father had some trouble with Youzaigu, and he wanted to behead Youzaigu on the charge of "acting as a spy for Wei Zheng". Uzaiya pleaded, "I regret what I did in the past, and I want to correct it before I come back here. There are many people like me around Wei Jin, and if the master doesn't give me a chance, he cuts off their chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I'm like a person who wears a fox fur and a lamb's sleeve coat (fox fur represents good, lamb sleeve represents evil), and the fault is just a little bit, and the guilty will not be put to death, right? So he escaped by wisdom.

Soon, Zang Wuzhong went to visit the state of Qi, and after completing his mission, he went to visit Wei Xiangong. During the whole process of meeting, Wei Xiangong kept cursing Sun Lin's father, and Zang Wuzhong couldn't interject at all. In the end, Wei Xiangong said: "If you return to Diqiu, you will build a pig farm on the ancestral tomb of the Sun family, so that the ancestors of the Sun family will not be at peace day and night." The widow also gave all the prisoners and slaves who passed through the surname Sun, making Sun the lowest surname. Do you think widows are very imaginative? Ahh ”

Zang Wuzhong finally listened to this paragraph patiently, and without waiting for Wei Xiangong to continue speaking, he immediately saluted and withdrew as fast as he could. He said to his deputy: "Uncle Hou said that Wei Hou will be able to return to the throne one day, I think it is impossible!" The man was unrepentant, and his mouth was full of feces. Exiled in a foreign country but not knowing how to reflect, what did he rely on to return to China? ”

When these words reached Zixian's ears, he immediately went to see Zang Wuzhong and said, "The widow already knows that he is wrong; He just said to me that it doesn't matter whether he is restored or not, and that he will uphold the weekly rites for the rest of his life from today. ”

Zang Wuzhong smiled at this time, and he said: "Wei Jun can return to China now, Uncle Yi and Zixian, some people pull and some people push, it is difficult to go back if you don't want to." ”

When Jin Mourning Gong's condition improved slightly, he heard that there was a coup d'état in Weiguo, so he asked Shi Kuang (a great musician in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period): "The Weiguo expelled the monarch, did they go too far?" ”

Shi Kuang said: "I'm afraid Wei Hou is the one who has gone too far, right?" The Ming Emperor rewards good deeds and punishes evil deeds, raises the people like children, covers the people like the heavens, and embraces the common people like the earth. How can the people serve the king like their parents, look up like the sun and the moon, worship like a god, and revere him like thunder?

"The monarch is the Lord of God and the hope of the people. What is the use of keeping a monarch who has plundered the people's wealth, made the sacrifices scarce, the people despair, and the society ownerless? If you don't expel him, will you have to endure his exploitation?

"Heaven gave birth to the people and established a king, and there were judges (magistrates) to rule over the people, so that they did not lose their nature. The country has a monarch and a secretary to educate the monarch to regulate the monarch's behavior and prevent it from being excessive. Therefore, the Son of Heaven has a prince, the princes have a secretary, the secretary has a side room, the doctor has a different sect, the scholar has friends, and the people, workers, merchants, soaps, subordinates, pastors, and gardens have their own intimate people, so people assist each other.

"Virtuous deeds will be rewarded, wrongs will be corrected, calamities will be helped, and sins will be punished. From the Son of Heaven onwards, everyone has fathers and sons and brothers to supervise the conduct of individuals. Therefore, the historian is ordered to write books, the singer is ordered to offer poems, the musicians are ordered to recite advice, the doctors are ordered to persuade mistakes, and the doctors are ordered to transmit the voice of the people to the doctors; Commoners, merchants, and laborers could point out the monarch's mistakes and pass them on to the monarch through scholars and doctors.

"Therefore, the Book of Summer: 'Men are made of wood, and Duo is favored by the road; Officials and teachers follow each other's rules, and the workers perform their arts to advise (depicting the scene of officials collecting advice among the people). 'On the first month of the Spring Festival, the people of the world can submit advice to the people to correct the abnormal behavior of the monarch.

"Heaven loves the people, how can it tolerate the lone husband and the thief above the people, and connive at the tyrants and ministers to fool, suppress, and exploit the people? How can Heaven succumb to the obscenity of a single man and a thief, and forsake the surname of heaven and earth? As the minister knows, he will never do. ”

Jin Miangong felt that his words were a little harsh, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed. He summoned the Bank of China and asked him for his opinion on the expulsion of Wei Xiangong.

As mentioned earlier, after the death of Wei Dinggong, Sun Lin's father transferred all the valuable utensils in the family to Qiyi, and at the same time did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of family property to make friends with the powerful ministers of the Jin State. Sun Lin's father had established a close personal relationship with Bank of China many years ago, and the property given to him could arm an army of 500 men; On the contrary, Wei Xiangong is reluctant to pay some price to buy the spokesperson (because he is a greedy and miserly stingy ghost).

Zhongxingyan replied: "If a monarch only destroys the people's livelihood and robs the people's profits for his own sake, he cannot be called a 'monarch', but should be called a 'husband'; Think about it, if you help Shang Xuan to reset, won't it help Shang Xuan to abuse? The prince is the lord of the alliance of the world, and should teach the princes to practice morality; If you talk about etiquette, righteousness and morality, but in fact you do things that undermine morality, then the Huaxia Alliance will also fall apart.

"In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to push the boat down the river and meet the wishes of the patriots! Moreover, the new monarch of the country has been established, but the labor princes crusade, if it does not succeed, it will make the allies have two hearts. Shi Yi said: 'Because of the weight and caress it. Zhong Yu (Shang Tang Dafu) also said: "The dead insult them, the chaotic ones take them, push the dead to survive, and the way of the country is also." 'The prince should convene the alliance at the right time, and use this as an opportunity to recognize the status of Wei Plagiarism! ”

The Duke of Jin then issued a summoning order to the Chinese princes. In the winter, the princes held an alliance meeting in Qiyi, Sun Lin's father's hometown—the venue of which was carefully chosen—to formally establish the monarchy of Gongsun Plagiar, who was the Duke of Defense.

When the parties held a bloody ceremony, Sun Lin's father and Ning Zhuang were separated from each other. Sun Lin's father was high-spirited and complacent, but Ning Zhen was worried and worried, and he didn't even dare to face Wei Hou.

Shu Xiang said: "Ning Zi regrets it. He is a person who abides by the way of kings and ministers, but he is arrogant but very impulsive, and he regrets it when he finishes it. He was just implicated by his grandson, he had no hatred with Wei Hou, and his power was not under his grandson. If he wants to make up for his mistakes, there will be another turmoil in the country. Then we will have to hold another alliance to overturn the outcome of this alliance! ”

There was a small episode in this alliance, although it was not a big incident, but it caused serious dissatisfaction between Qi and Jin. It turned out that during the rehearsal of the ceremony, the Jin people could not find the pheasant feather and yak tail to decorate the flag; Shi Kuo borrowed the ornaments of the Qi people, saying that they would collect and make tail feathers overnight, and promised to return them before the ceremony was officially held.

The sergeants sent many sergeants out to hunt pheasants, but they did not even catch a quail; And there is no yak tail within a hundred miles. Shi Kuo then said: "Just use the people of the Qi country, and the honor guard of the alliance leader must not have any flaws." ”

When the ceremony was held the next day, all the ** flags were gorgeously decorated, but the flags of Qi were bare. The people present pointed at the flag and laughed at the Qi people happily.
