After Qi Zhuang settled the Shawei Rebellion, he completely eliminated the hostile forces in the country, thus firmly holding the monarchy in his hands. This situation was not a good thing for the Lu people: the Huaxia Alliance and Qi did not sign a peace treaty, and they were still formally at war; The new monarch of Qi was reckless, rape and warlike; Although he is Lu Xianggong's cousin, he doesn't like his mother's family at all.

At that time, the western city of Qufu was seriously damaged, and the people of Lu were worried that the people of Qi would attack the capital, so they repaired the city wall while the farmers were slack. What the people of Lu feared did not happen, and soon the Duke of Qi Zhuang decided to make peace with the Jin State. He sent Cui Zhu to Xinjiang to complete the mission.

In fact, since the accession of the Jin Mourning Duke, almost every alliance meeting convened by the Jin people was attended by the crown prince on behalf of the Qi State, and the Jin people knew him very well and knew that he was not as stubborn as Qi Linggong; The Jin people are also very familiar with Cui Zhu, and aside from the national grievances, the personal relationship between the secretaries of the Jin State and Cui Shu is excellent.

Shi Kuo held a grand welcome ceremony for Cui Zhu, like entertaining an old friend who had not been seen for a long time. After the meeting, the two sides held a bloody ceremony, and the two countries reconciled.

The people of the Lu State were really mixed when they heard the news - the Lu people were happy that the Qi State had surrendered to the alliance leader, and they were afraid that the Jin people would damage the interests of the Lu State in order to win over the Qi State. Uncle Sun Leopard rushed to the Jin Kingdom as fast as possible to find out the news, but Shi Kuo said that he just refused to reveal the content of the book.

This situation confirmed the uncle's fear, and he went to visit the sheep tongue again, but did not ask him any questions, but only gave him the fourth chapter of "Carriage": "I go in the wilderness, and I can help the wheat." Controlled by the big state, who is the cause of whom? Doctors and gentlemen, there is no self. What Baier thinks is not as good as what I think. ”

He also understood the worries of his uncle and grandson, so he replied, "How dare I disobey the Master's orders? If something happens, I'll report it to the Master. ”

Uncle Sun Leopard returned to Qufu and said: "The disaster has not been eliminated, and our country cannot afford not to take precautions. The people of Lu then repaired the walls of Wucheng.

In the spring of the twentieth year of Lu Xianggong (BC553), Lu Meng Zhuangzi signed a peace agreement with the Ju people. Ju Zi originally waved his flag and shouted behind the Qi people, but in the war against Qi, the Jin people deliberately sent the Ju army to carry out the destructive task of the Qi State, so they successfully separated the relationship between Ju and Qi. Ju Zi had no choice but to fall to the Huaxia Alliance.

However, the State of Lu, which is also a small partner of the State of Qi, has always been unrelenting to the State of Lu, and has attacked the border towns of the State of Lu five times or three times; However, the state of Lu could not withdraw from the battle of alignment to teach the state of Yi. After the eastern battlefield calmed down, Meng Zhuangzi led a huge army to take revenge on the state of Di.

In the autumn, Dr. Lu Guo paid his first post-war visit to Qi Guo, and the two countries finally ended their hostile relations again.

The following is a description of the turbulent events that occurred in the state of Chen this year, and the source of the events can be traced back to the reign of Chen Wengong.

As early as the fifteenth year of Lu Wengong, Chen Wengong had formed an alliance with the Jin people and the Chinese princes; However, the situation in the world was changing, and due to the geographical location, Chen had to turn south again, and for most of the time after the alliance, only Chu was the leader.

The ministers of the state of Chu gave full play to their geographical advantage, and they made great friends with those in power in the state of Chen, and imposed onerous sacrifices and servitude on each other. But instead of becoming poor, the nobles of the Chen State made a fortune by the exploitation of the Chu people—they imposed heavier obligations on the people and exploited the people even harder.

Chen Guoren has lived in poverty and hardship for a long time, and no matter how hard people work, the income they can obtain is only enough to support their families; The state of Chu has changed two generations of kings, three terms of Ling Yin, but the oppression of the state of Chen is still the same. As a result, a large number of Chen people left their homeland and fled to other countries, and the obligations that were originally borne by those people were ruthlessly transferred to the rest of the countrymen.

People of insight in the state of Chen soberly realized that if the status quo could not be changed, there would be no people to rule the country for more than a decade. The eldest Sima Gongzie is a younger son of Chen Wengong, but now he has become the oldest doctor in Chen Guo's history. Gongzi Xie had followed his father to a meeting to form an alliance with the Chinese princes, and he had the good fortune of being captured by the enemy during the battle against Zheng a few years earlier.

The so-called "lucky" is because the secretary of the Jin State specially visited him and persuaded him to return to the Huaxia Alliance as soon as possible, liberate the country from the slavery of the Chu people, and perform his solemn duties to maintain the independence and dignity of the country.

Gongzi Xie thought so. Soon after, the Zheng people released him; After Gongzixie returned to China, he began to run for the realization of his ideals, he kept meeting with Chen Aigong, visiting colleagues door to door, and persuading large and small families to support him. But he was disappointed to find that the office was largely controlled by interest groups that lived by sucking blood.

At that time, the power of Chen Guo was in the hands of the brothers Qinghu and Qingyin, and Chen Aigong was just an ornament. Although the brothers are the greatest scourge of Chen Guo, they have a magical ability to appease and incite; The two relied on fabricating facts, concealing the truth, exalting themselves, belittling others, and giving small favors to make many people believe that they were the saviors of Chen Guoren; And all those who oppose the brothers are traitors and enemies of the state.

As a result, when Gongzi Xie made a speech in front of the Taimiao one day and began to condemn the Qing brothers for bringing disaster to the country and the people, he was suddenly coaxed and abused by villains and ignorant people; The bad guys also threw garbage and rocks at him, and finally rushed up and beat him. Childe-sub's friends try to drag him out of the hands of the thugs and take him away, but Childe-sub dies due to old age and heavy blows. Later, it was widely believed that the attack was premeditated.

The vicious attack shocked the entire Chen State, and Chen Aigong ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but the Qing brothers did not stop doing anything, preparing to take the opportunity to purge Gongzixie's comrades, and Gongzixie's younger brother Gongzie immediately fled to the Chu State.

The Qing brothers first sued, and then accused Gongzi Huang to the people of Chu, falsely claiming that he was also Gongzi Xie's accomplice. As mentioned earlier, Gongzi Huang was Chen Aigong's dearest brother, and he did not hesitate to betray the Huaxia Alliance (in the seventh year of Lu Xianggong) for this brother. However, the brothers almost killed Gongzi Huang in the incident of forcing Chen Aigong to flee the alliance, so Gongzi Huang went against the Qing family everywhere after returning to China; The Qing brothers planned that once they got rid of Gongzi Huang, Chen Guo could change his surname to "Qing".

The people of Chu believed the nonsense of the Qing clan, and King Chu Kang soon sent an army to attack the state of Chen, in an attempt to force Chen Ai to send out his son Huang. However, Gongzi Huang's friends in the state of Chu rushed into Huaiyang first, urging him to flee immediately.

Gongzi Huang said: "I am innocent and innocent, and I can't escape; Not only that, but I also have to take the initiative to go to the state of Chu to defend myself and accuse Erqing to the king of Chu! ”

In fact, Gongzi Huang has a better understanding of the current situation than Gongzi Xie—a conclusion that can be analyzed from his words when he left Chen Guo.

Gongzi Huang drove in the market and shouted: "The country's trouble is in the Qing clan and not in Chu!" The Qing clan has no way, usurps the power of the monarch, treats the monarch as nothing, kills the elders, and treats the countrymen as slaves, cattle and horses; If the Qing clan doesn't perish within five years, God should die! ”
