Sixteen years ago, the people of Wu took advantage of the great mourning of King Cheng of Chu to launch an invasion of Chu, and after the failure of the invasion, they complained to the Jin State, trying to take revenge with the help of the strength of the Chinese people, but the Wu envoy was severely reprimanded by Shilu.

The people of Wu felt that they had lost face, and since then they have cut off contact with the Chinese princes; In a fit of rage, the Jin people also suspended all aid to Wu and withdrew all the personnel dispatched.

Wu Guoxinjun Yimo is the third of the four brothers of Zhu Fan, and his temperament is relatively mild compared to the two elder brothers. After he ascended the throne, he said to Ji Zha: "Wu and the Central Plains have not been connected for a long time! The state of Wu was part of the world, and it was impossible to live in isolation from the Chinese people for a long time; Isolation is the way to self-destruction. Therefore, the widow sent you to the Chinese princes to make envoys, trade, and education, and to observe the customs of the countries. ”

Ji Za gladly accepted the order and led the team north. The first stop of the mission was to the country of Xu, where Mrs. Xu was Ji Za's sister. Xu Zi called his wife and several sons out to meet Ji Zha, and everyone chatted happily while eating. Ji Za came to Lu after leaving Xu, and the people of Lu held a grand welcome ceremony for him. Ji Za said: "I heard that the Lu State was ordered by the royal family to preserve the dance music of the Yu, Xia, Shang, and Four Dynasties, so I hope to observe it, so that my Wu people can feel the prosperity of the four generations and the power of the Lu State." ”

Lu Xianggong readily agreed, and seven musical feasts were held especially for him.

The first performance is the eleven chapters of "Zhou Nan", and the second part is the fourteen chapters of "Zhao Nan"; After twenty-five pieces, the day's event came to an end.

Ji Zazan said: "The music is so beautiful! These two articles laid the foundation of Zhou Le, although it is not finished, but the people of the world are diligent and tireless to complete Zhou Le. ”

The second performance was "Shao Feng", "Hu Feng" and "Wei Feng". Shao and Hu Yuan belonged to the land of the three prisons, and after the Zhou Gong destroyed the three prisons, most of the land was incorporated into the Weiguo, and the three articles together were "David Feng".

Ji Zazan said: "Beautiful and profound! Although I am worried but not sleepy, I heard that this is the virtue of Uncle Wei Kang and Wei Wugong. ”

The third scene is "Wang Feng", Ji Za exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, the Western Zhou Dynasty has fallen, and future generations are worried but not afraid, this is the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!" ”

sang "Zheng Feng" again, Ji Zha sighed: "The music is indeed beautiful, but it is all about those things between men and women, the government is degenerate, the people must be unbearable, Zheng Guo will be the first to perish (Zheng Guo was destroyed by Korea in 376 BC, and it was the first great country in the Central Plains to perish)? ”

sang "Qi Feng" again, Ji Za praised: "It's so beautiful! The wind of a great country! The person who can set an example for the East China Sea can only be Qi Taigong! The prosperity of the national fortune is unlimited! ”

The fourth scene is "Feng Feng", Ji Za exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! It's grand! Happiness but not lewdness, it was done after the Eastern Crusade of Zhou Gong, right? ”

followed the song "Qin Feng", Ji Za said: "This is the voice of the West, it can be powerful in the West, and now it has the hometown of the Western Zhou Dynasty, right?" ”

In the song "Wei Feng", Ji Za said: "It's so beautiful! Big and graceful, dangerous and easy, can be practiced in this way, will be the master! ”

The fifth scene is "Tang (Jin) Feng", Ji Za said: "The thought is really profound! No wonder they have the remnants of the Tao Tang Clan! If it is not the Holy King, who can keep the Jin Kingdom! ”

In the song "Chen Feng", Ji Za said: "There is no master in the country, how long can it exist? ”

There is no evaluation for the song "The Wind" and below.

The sixth scene is "Xiaoya", Ji Za took a sip of water and praised: "It's so beautiful!" There are worries but no two hearts, there is resentment but not expression (there is a sad voice), this is the process of the decline of Zhou De! But it can still keep the remnants of the previous king. ”

sang "Daya" again, Ji Za praised: "It's really grand! The body is upright, and there is a song of modulation and frustration, which shows the virtue of King Wen, right? ”

Singing three more "Odes", Ji Za praised: "It's so beautiful! Straight but not stubborn, bent but not bent; Far but not forced, far but not carried; Move without lewdness, return without getting tired; Sorrow but not sorrow, happiness but not famine; Use but not scarce, wide but not public; Give without spending, take without greed; Everywhere but not the bottom, line but not flow. Five tones and eight winds; There is a degree of moderation and order. The same is true of Sidley! ”

The last first chapter is "Xiang Xiao" and "Nan? The second chapter is "Dawu" that praises King Wu, the third chapter is "Shao Hao" that praises Shang Tang, the fourth chapter is "Da Xia" that praises Dayu, and the chapter is "Shao Xiao" that praises Yu Shun.

Ji Za finally said, "Great! Virtue has reached its extreme! As the heavens cover everything, as the earth bears everything; At this point, it has been perfected, even if there are other dance music, I dare not ask the prince to play for the ministers! ”

During his time in the state of Lu, Ji Za chatted very speculatively with his uncle Sun Leopard. Before leaving, Ji Za warned his uncle and grandson Leopard: "The master has the heart of love, but he does not know the heart of the wicked; He can only see the surface of people and believe people's words, so he appoints the wrong people. I heard the old saying, 'A gentleman chooses the man.'" 'The Master cannot choose a man, and he will not die a good death!' ”

Uncle Sun Leopard thought this passage was particularly harsh at the time, but he didn't take it seriously and quickly forgot about it selectively. The "wicked person" and "wrong person" in Ji Za's mouth refer to Shusun Leopard's illegitimate son Zhuniu (Shusun Niu), who was already the elder of the Shusun clan at that time. Uncle Sun Bao especially trusted this son who was obtained by chance, but unfortunately Ji Za made a proverb: six years later, the dignified Secretary of Lu was starved to death at home by his own son like Duke Qi Huan.

Ji Za traveled north to the Qi Kingdom. He stayed in the Kingdom of Qi for a few days and became friends with Yan Ying. Before leaving, he said to Yan Ying: "The master should immediately hand over his official position and fiefdom, so that he can avoid disasters without officials and land." The power of Qi will belong, and the disaster will not stop until the ownership is determined! Yan Ying thought so, he did what Ji Za suggested, and finally survived the Luan and Gao rebellion that occurred twelve years later.

Ji Za came to Zheng Guo to the east, and had a very happy conversation with Zichan, as if they were old acquaintances, and the gifts given to each other were only raw silk and sackcloth. Ji Za admonished the child: "Uncle is extravagant and depraved, and disaster will happen to the office!" Eventually, the ruling will fall to the Master. The master should be cautious and courteous in his administration, otherwise, the Zheng State will decline! ”

Ji Za came to Weiguo again, when Wei Xiangong had just died. Ji Za and Lu Boyu, Shi Gou, Shi Gou? , Gongzi Jing, Gongshu Fa, and Gongzi Chao talked very happily, and he said: "It's really strange to defend the country! The monarch is depraved, but the doctor is a gentleman. In this way, the country will not suffer disaster. ”

Ji Za set out from Weiguo again and was about to go to Jin, when he was about to stay in Qi when he heard the sound of Zhong Le coming from the direction of Sun Lin's father's house. Jiza said: "Sun Tzu is so strange! I have heard, 'Argument without virtue will be added to death.' 'The Master has been exiled here because he has offended the gentleman, and it is not too much to be afraid, so how can he dance and play music?' The Master's place is like a bird building its nest on a curtain that has been temporarily erected, and there will be great worries. Besides, the country is in a great mourning, how can we play music? After saying that, he ordered his retinue to continue on his march until he could no longer hear the sound of the piano and then camp in the wilderness.

When Sun Lin's father heard this, he changed his depraved style in the past, he dismissed the musicians, and stopped listening to music for the rest of his life.

Ji Za's last stop was the Jin Kingdom, during which he established close friendships with Zhao Wu, Han Qi, and Wei Jiang. He later said to his entourage: "The monarchy of the Marquis of Jin will be terminated by the Zhao, Wei, and Han families. Before returning to China, he advised his uncle and said: "The master should be good at himself, the prince is extravagant and the doctor is talented, and the power will fall to the major families." The Master's temperament is too upright, so we must consider how to avoid calamity! ”
