After the meeting, Hanhu invited Zhao Wu, his uncle Sun Bao, and Dr. Cao Guo to visit Zheng Guo. After the group arrived in Xinzheng, Zheng Jiangong prepared to hold a grand feast for them. After the time for the celebration was determined, Hanhu first went to inform Zhao Wu, Zhao Wufu "Gourd Leaf", a poem describing the scene of a low-ranking nobleman performing a drinking ceremony.

Later, Hanhu went to inform his uncle Sun Leopard and told him that Zhao Wu had given a song "Gourd Leaf", but he could not understand the meaning. Uncle Sun Leopard said: "Zhao Meng means that when holding a gift, it must be simple, and the master will prepare it according to the specifications of the gift!" ”

According to the "Zhou Rites", the princes held gifts for the ministers of the countries to achieve "nine offerings", and the guests with the lowest status used "one offering"; There is a huge difference between nine offerings and one dedication. Hanhu almost couldn't believe his ears, he said that he didn't dare to treat the VIPs with simple etiquette, and his uncle Sun Leopard said: "Zhao Meng wants to make a sacrifice, what does the master not dare?" ”

However, Hanhu still took the median value, and he prepared five offerings of beans (utensils for holding offerings) and informed the guests of the plan. Zhao Wu said to Zichan in private: "I have already asked Tsukasa Zai (Shangqing)!" Please do it with a gift. The child then withdrew the four offerings, and the ceremony was carried out according to Zhao Wu's wishes. This is probably the simplest gift in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period.

After the end of the ceremony, there was a sumptuous dinner, and the uncle and grandson Leopard gave Zhao Wu a song "Nestle": "Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Gu lives in it." The son is home, and a hundred taels are royal. This was originally a small poem depicting marriage, in which the finch married the dove after the nest was built, but the uncle and grandson leopard compared the Jin State to the "finch" and the Lu State to the "dove", and thanked him very tactfully for saving his life through the poem.

Zhao Wu shook his hand and said, "The doctor's words are serious, I can't bear this heavy responsibility." He also endowed "Picking Su": "'Yu Yi Caisu? Yu Marsh Yu Lan. How to use it? The matter of the prince. 'Although the tribute of a small country is small, how dare a large country not love it? ”

The last chapter of Zipifu's "Wild Dead Deer": "Comfortable and free, I don't feel embarrassed, and I bark without making a deer!" This was what a young girl said to her lover: "Take your time! Don't ratch my apron, don't make the dog bark. Here he compares Zhao Wu to a gentleman and a humble gentleman, rather than a rude and reckless stinky rascal; Pacify the princes with morality, not abuse people.

Zhao Wufu's "Chang Di": "'The Hua of Chang Di, Hu Bu Weiwei. There is no one like a brother today. 'Our brothers are united and stable, and the dogs will no longer bark!' ”

Everyone raised their glasses and toasted to Zhao Wu: "A small country depends on the master, and it can be saved from disaster!" ”

Zhao Wu hadn't drunk so happily for many years, and the banquet lasted for a long time, and even his uncle and grandson, who had always been old and respectful, were almost drunk and unconscious before the meeting ended.

When Zhao Wu left, he sighed: "I will never have today's happiness again in my life!" ”

King Jing of Zhou learned that the princes had convened a general meeting of the princes in Jiuyu, so he sent Liu Dinggong to wait for Zhao Wu in the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Wu entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty on the way back to China, and Liu Dinggong built a high platform on the bank of Yingshui to entertain Zhao Wu.

Liu Dinggong looked at the quietly flowing Yingshui. Uncle Xiang said that Dayu had widened this section of the river and raised the embankment. Liu Dinggong couldn't help but sigh: "Beautiful! Dayu's work! Matilda is vast and long-lasting. Without Dayu, we would all become fish. Master and I are able to govern the country today, and the princes should be grateful to Dayu for his contributions. Why didn't the master inherit Dayu's exploits and protect the people of the world? ”

Zhao Wu said: "The old man is afraid of being offended by the king, how can he reach the world? I steal food to get by, day and night, and I can't talk about the long-term. ”

Liu Dinggong suddenly lost interest, and felt that the food and wine were tasteless, and what was even more tasteless was the little old man in front of him who could have become Dayu but had no enterprising spirit.

Liu Dinggong hurriedly ended the banquet and replied to King Zhou Jing: "The proverb says 'the old man knows the voice of the elderly', is it Zhao Meng?" As the secretary of the Jin State to lead the princes, but he regarded himself as a small people, this is to abandon gods and people. The ghosts and gods are angry and the people are centrifuged, how can they live for a long time? Zhao Meng didn't live for more than a year: the ghosts and gods were angry and would not bless his sacrifice; The people are centrifuged and cannot serve the community wholeheartedly; If the sacrifice and the community do not obey, what do you rely on to survive for a year? ”

After Zhao Wu returned to Xinjiang, Qin Jinggong's half-brother Qin Houzi (Gongzi 鍼) fled to the Jin Kingdom. Gongzi is the second son of Duke Qin Huan, and Duke Huan especially dotes on this son, and even treats him as a prince; Childe used this favor to control a huge amount of strength and wealth. Since Qin Jinggong ascended the throne, he has always wanted to weaken his power, and even intends to use extreme measures when necessary. But for the protection of Mrs. Qin Huan, Gongzi was saved from the persecution of his brother.

Now Mrs. Qin Huan is old, her health is declining every day, and she knows that her life will be short; She summoned her son and said, "Mother is here, I can keep you safe; My time is short, so run away while I'm still alive!" Otherwise, you won't even have any bones left! ”

Gongzi then went to see Qin Jinggong and asked for permission to go into exile with all his possessions. Qin Jinggong nodded in agreement, but he quickly regretted it.

It turned out that the vehicle used by Childe to transport his property and his personal chariot were added together, and the number reached 1,000. The exiles built a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River to make it easy to cross; The accompanying convoy is a group of ten vehicles, and each group travels ten miles apart; When the front team arrived in Xinjiang, the last team had just set off from Yongdu.

The news of the escape from the Jin Kingdom shocked the Qin and Jin dynasties. When the convoy of exiles entered the territory of the Jin state, the Jin people thought that the Qin state had launched an attack with the whole army. On the day Gongzi entered Xinjiang, most of the people in the city came out to watch this grand scene. The momentum of Gongzi's convoy and the grandeur of the convoy made the Jin people feel that Zhou Tianzi's travel was nothing more than that.

After Jin Pinggong entertained Gongzi Gongzi, the other party also held a grand gift for Jin Pinggong. After the ceremony, the female uncle asked Gongzi, "Have you brought out all the master's cars?" ”

Childe replied, "Yes, there are enough of these!" If there weren't so many, how could I see the prince? ”

The female uncle Hou entered the palace and said to Jin Pinggong: "Please treat the prince and the prince of Qin well." The queen of Qin will definitely return to Qin, and the minister heard that 'a gentleman can know his mistakes, and he must have good intentions.' 'A good picture is the praise of heaven. ”

Zhao Wu asked Gongzi Gongzi, "What is the master going to do next?" ”

Gongzi said: "I was afraid of being expelled by the widow, so I came to the Jin Kingdom. I intend to return to Qin when the new monarch ascends the throne. ”

Zhao Wu asked, "What kind of person is Qin Jun?" ”

Gongzi said: "A man without a way. ”

Zhao Wu asked, "Did the Qin Kingdom perish because of him?" ”

Childe said, "How is it possible? If a monarch has no way, the country will not perish; The country stands between heaven and earth, and there must be those who protect the society; Without the rule of a tyrant for several generations, the country will not be destroyed. ”

Zhao Wu asked, "Qin Jun will die soon, right?" ”

Childe said, "I'm afraid it will." ”

Zhao Wu asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"I have heard that 'the ruler has no way and the country can reap a good harvest, but it is the patronage of heaven.'" But there are very few that are more than five years old. ’”

Zhao Wu smacked his lips and said, "Five years? I can't wait, how can I wait five years? ”
