In November of this year, Yi Mo sent an envoy Qu Huyong (the son of Shen Gong Wuchen) to the Jin State, Hu Yong was the son of Shen Gong Wuchen, his people were all in the Jin State, and changed his surname to Xing, but he was instructed by his father to join the Wu nationality.

Zhao Wu was very concerned about whether Ji Za would become the next monarch of Wu, and he believed that the sudden death of Zhu Fan and Yu Sai was a harbinger that the heavens were about to start the Ji Za era, so he asked Qu Huyong about the possibility of Ji Za becoming the successor.

Qu Huyong replied: "I don't think it is possible for Ji Za to ascend the throne. The violent deaths of the two ancestors were just fate, not a sign that the heavens were going to sponsor Ji Za. Heaven is about to open it, it should be another successor! Jiza is only a festival keeper, and although he is qualified, he does not have royal power. ”

In December, Wei Xianggong, accompanied by Beigong Kuo, went to Yingdu to meet Chu Jiaoao. The patriots found that Wang Ziwei's demeanor and demeanor were completely in line with the king's standards, and he appeared beside Jia Ao with a majestic appearance; But Jia Ao is like a foreigner under the fence, with a melancholy face, hesitant to act, and he doesn't even dare to breathe in front of Wang Ziwei.

Beigong Tuo said: "Ling Yin has already covered up the monarch!" He is about to seize the throne, but he can't die well. "Poetry" says: "There is no beginning, there is no end." 'It's so hard to get a good ending, I'm afraid Yin won't get it, right?' ”

Wei Xiangong asked, "How did the master deduce these things?" ”

Beigong Tuo replied: "The poem says: 'Respect and prudence and majesty, but the rule of the people. 'Ling Yin conceals the monarch but has no prestige, and the people cannot take him as a standard; The people do not follow him, but he is superior to the people, so he will not die a good death. ”

Wei Xianggong said: "Good, good! What is 'majesty'? ”

Beigong Tuo said: "There is power but fear is called 'might', and there is etiquette and can be imitated called 'yi'." The monarch has the majesty of the monarch, and the subjects fear and love him, take him as the norm and imitate him, so that the country can be preserved, and the good reputation can be passed on from generation to generation. The courtier has the prestige of the courtier, and his subordinates fear and love him, so they can fulfill their duties and keep the clan family. This is true from top to bottom, so the top and bottom can strengthen each other.

"Wei Shi said: 'Majestic Didi, you can't choose it.'" That is to say, the monarch and the minister, the upper and lower, the father and the son, the brother, the inside and the outside, the big and the small, must have prestige. "Poems of Zhou" said: "Friends take pictures, and they take prestige." That is to say, the way friends get along with each other must be taught with dignity. The Book of Zhou mentions the virtues of King Wen many times, saying: "The big country is afraid of its merits, and the small country cherishes its virtue." It means to be fearful and loving. "Poetry" also said: 'If you don't know what you don't know, follow the emperor's rules.' It's about emulating the norms.

"King Wen was imprisoned for seven years, and the princes also locked themselves in prison, and King Wen was frightened and released King Wen, which can be called loved by the princes; King Wen crusaded against Chongguo, and for the second time reduced Chonghou to a trophy, and the barbarians were subdued, which can be called feared by the barbarians; The merits of King Wen are praised by the world, which can be called the standard of the world; King Wen's behavior has been regarded as a model to this day, and it can be said that it has been emulated by the world. This can be called 'majesty'. ’

"Therefore, a gentleman is fearful when he is in power, he is loved when he is giving, he can be emulated in advance and retreat, he can be the norm for maneuvering, his appearance and demeanor are considerable, he can do things for the law, he can learn his virtues, his voice can be expressive, his actions are courteous, his words are organized, and he thinks that he is demonstrative, which is called 'prestige'."

In the spring of the first year of Lu Zhao (BC541), Prince Yin of Chu ordered Prince Wei to visit Zheng Guo and held a wedding with Gongsun Duan's daughter.

Wang Ziwei led a huge team of 2,000 followers, all the way to Xinzheng. The Zheng set up post houses inside the city to receive envoys, and improvised camps outside the city to accommodate his many retinues. However, Wang Ziwei was dissatisfied with this arrangement, and he demanded that the whole team be brought into the city.

At that time, the words of Uncle Sun Bao saying that "Chu Ling Yin is going to do great things" and Beigong Kuo saying "Ling Yin is like a gentleman" have reached the ears of Zheng Guoren. Zheng Guoren believes that since Wang Ziwei may have killed his nephew, he naturally will not show mercy to Zheng Guoren. Zheng Guoren took precautions early and watched his every move closely. And Wang Ziwei's extremely unreasonable request was naturally rejected by Zheng Guoren.

Ziyu said to the people of Chu: "When King Zhuang, the first monarch of Chu, deigned to come to Zheng (in fact, he captured Xinzheng) and only brought five hundred armor soldiers; After that, whenever an envoy from a great power entered the capital, there were no more than a hundred followers. If Ling Yin brings in all the troops under his command, as a junior, you have violated the will of your ancestors; As a minister, you have broken the laws of the country. The widow also felt very difficult, and he didn't know whether he should turn his back on the big country, the first monarch and the system because of Ling Yin's whim. However, the widow sent an order that the envoys of the great powers must be provided with the strictest protection, so that even if Yin entered the city alone, he would not have to worry about his safety. ”

Wang Ziwei had no choice but to leave his army outside the city and enter the city with the required number of retinues. After he finished the dowry to his grandson Duan, the next step was to carry out the temple and kissing ceremony, and Wang Ziwei wanted to bring the brothers outside the city in to be "lively and lively". Wang Ziwei's repeated provocations have clearly exposed his intentions - to take the opportunity to kidnap Zheng Guojun and his ministers, just like King Chu Wen did when he was destroyed. Ziyu said again: "Zheng Guo's city is too small to accommodate so many attendants, please build Feng's temple outside the city to perform the ceremony!" ”

The prince replied: "Before leaving, the widow wished the widow and said, 'I hope you and the Feng family will always be of the same heart.'" So the widow doctor gathered around the king of Zhuang and the king of Gong, and came to the temple with devotion to the temple. If the ritual is performed in the wilderness, the wishes of the widow are abandoned! It is to make the widow doctor not be listed in the throne! Not only that, but it also made the doctor deceive the ancestor and not be able to become a widow's minister! Where to go, please think about it solemnly! ”

Ziyu said: "A small country is innocent, but relying on force is a crime. Small countries do not dare to harbor evil intentions in order to plot evil, but can only respectfully serve the big countries to maintain social security. Otherwise, even our country is a post house of a big country, and what is the temple of the Feng family? ”

Wu Ju saw that the Zheng people would not budge, so he asked for permission to allow the soldiers to enter Xinzheng with their quivers upside down, as a sign of no malice. Zichan didn't want to say anything more, so he nodded in approval.

The Chu people made a fuss to enter and come out, while the Zheng people closely monitored each other's behavior along the way. After the wedding was held, Wang Ziwei immediately left Xinzheng and rushed to attend the princes' meeting held in Zheng's place.

The countries participating in the meeting included Jin, Chu, Qi, Lu, Song, Zheng, Cao, Wei, Ju, and Yi. The aim was to revisit the Warrior Conference held in the Song Kingdom five years earlier.
