Guan Cong knew very well the intention of abandoning the disease, and he could also feel the deep hostility and real threat of the abandonment of the disease to him, and he persuaded Zibi: "If you don't kill the abandonment of the disease, although you have obtained the throne, the root of the curse has not yet been removed!" ”

Zigan was amazed at how Guan Cong could have such a vicious and terrible idea, and he said that if the prophecy of "Dangbi" was true, how could he sit on the throne of the king of Chu now? If you abandon your illness, you can abandon them and set yourself up as kings! He also warned Guan Cong not to continue to make such remarks, otherwise he had reason to think that Guan Cong resented every member of the royal family because of his father's death, and would spare no effort to cause chaos.

Guan Cong sighed and said, "The king can't bear to kill the disease, but he can't bear to kill the king, and I can't bear to watch the king be killed." After saying that, he compared his head to Zi Ji, and fled to Zheng Guo that day.

Now it is necessary to explain the prophecy of "dangbi" clearly.

It turned out that the king of Chu Gong did not have a concubine, but he had five favored concubines, and the indecisive king did not know which one to appoint as the crown prince, so he sacrificed all over the famous mountains and rivers at the suggestion of the high priest, hoping that the gods could give him an answer. After returning to the capital, he set up many gods of mountains and rivers in the temple, and dug a pit in the courtyard of the temple with Queen Ba Ji and buried a piece of jade. The king of Chu Gong prayed to the gods, "I ask the gods to choose one of my five sons to preside over the state of Chu. The one who worships is the one who stands by the gods, and no one dares to disobey! ”

Then the king of Chu Gong asked his five sons to fast and bathe, and go to the Taimiao Temple in order of age to worship the gods. King Chu Kang entered first and crossed the burial point; King Chu Ling then entered, and his elbow touched the target as he headed it; Zigan and Zihui are far away. Qijian was young at the time, and he was carried into the temple by Ba Ji, but when he bowed down, his palm accurately pressed against the jade.

The king of Chu Gong felt incredible and asked him to worship again, but he was still in the same position when he bowed down again, which is the origin of the word "dangbi". Therefore, Dou Weigui decided to send his son Chengran to abandon the disease, and said to his son: "The king renounces the rites and disobeys the order, and the state of Chu is in danger!" Only by abandoning the disease can the state of Chu be saved from destruction. ”

"There is nothing to do in the country, and the mediocre people enlighten themselves". The King of Chu, who was too stable and ambitious, left a huge hidden danger for the country: he aroused the power ambitions of the princes, and also made the ministers have their own agendas.

Then turn your gaze to the Jin Kingdom.

After receiving Manchengran's secret letter, Zigan resigned to the ministers and doctors of the Jin State. Han Qi and Yang Yu set up a banquet in the suburbs to see him off. In Zigan's banquet, he showed a resigned performance, but showed an impatient and unstoppable appearance, as if he had become the king of Chu.

After the banquet, Zigan and Zihui left alone in a carriage. Han Xuanzi looked at the lonely backs of the two and asked Shu Xiang: "Does the master think Zigan can succeed?" ”

Uncle Xiang replied, "It's difficult! ”

Han Xuanzi asked: "Chu and Zigan both hate Chu Qian, both sides are like traders in the market, they have the same likes and dislikes, and each has their own needs, how can it be said that it is difficult?" ”

Shu Xiang said: "Zigan has no party in the country at all. If there is no common interest, how can there be common evil?

"There were five difficulties for him to attain the throne:

"First, there is the favor of the monarch but there is no help from the sage;

"Second, there are sages who help the country but there is no internal response;

"Third, there is an internal response but no strategy;

"Fourth, there is a strategy but no popularity;

Fifth, there is popularity but no virtue.

"Zigan was in the Jin Kingdom for thirteen years, but there were no wise men among his followers; His family withered, his relatives rebelled, and it cannot be said that there was an internal response; There was no great chaos in the state of Chu, and he was in a hurry to act before the outcome was known, and it could not be said that he had a strategy; He has been a minister of detention for a long time, and the people have long forgotten him, and it cannot be said that he has popular popularity; If the Chu people do not care about him and praise him, they cannot say that he has virtue.

"Although the king of Chu is tyrannical, he is still afraid to restrain himself from wearing a seal and Shen Wuyu is an example, and he can appoint virtuous ministers. Zigan wants to overthrow the king of Chu with five difficulties, can he succeed? In the end, the one who owns the Chu State should abandon the disease! Abandoning the disease to govern Chen and Cai, the surrounding cities and towns all came to Shun, the officials ruled Qingming, the thieves hidden, and the people were happy. First came the signs of the gods, and then the praise of the people. In the event of turmoil in the surname Li, it is inevitable that the young will win, and this is already the consensus of the world.

"There are five benefits to abandoning disease:

"First, there is a manifestation of the gods;

"Second, there is national support;

"Third, there is a reputation for virtue;

"Fourth, the position is respected and favored;

"Fifth, officials are in high positions and powerful.

"The five difficulties of abandoning the five benefits of abandoning the disease will be immediately clear from success or failure. How can Zigan have a chance to become the new king? ”

Han Xuanzi said: "But didn't the master think that Zigan's situation was very similar to Qi Huan and Jin Wen's? ”

Uncle Xiang said: "Qi Huan is the beloved son of Wei Ji, the favorite concubine of the Duke of Qi, and he is assisted by Uncle Bao, Xi Peng, and Bin Su Wuwei; There are Ju and Wei Guo as foreign aid; There are Gao's and Guo's as internal responses. Isn't it very reasonable for him to be as good as a stream, not greedy, not stingy, tireless in charity, never tired of seeking goodness, and finally keep the Qi country?

"Jin Xianjun Wengong, is the beloved son of the princess's favorite concubine Hu Ji Ji, who was attentive to learning when he was young, and when he fled at the age of seventeen, he was followed by five famous people; There is the first master Yu Zhao Yuan, the son of the fox Yan as the heart, and Wei Li and the price of the humerus as the femur; There are Qi, Song, Qin, and Chu as foreign aid; There are Luan's, He's, Fox's, and Xian's as internal responses. 19 years in exile; Hui Gong and Huai Gong donated to the people, so the people followed Wen Gong to support him as the king. Besides, at that time, Duke Wen was the only surviving son of Duke Xian, and the people had no dissent, so wouldn't it be reasonable for God to grant the Kingdom of Jin to Duke Wen?

"Zigan is different from these two ancestors, abandoning illness is the most favored by the king, and he has the ambition to be the king but hides it deeply. Zigan has no favors to the people, no big country as foreign aid, no one to send him into exile, and no one to welcome him when he returns home; He has no brains, no courage, only knows speculation, why did he ascend to the throne? If Zigan retreats in the face of difficulties, he can still save his life; If you really sit on the throne, you will definitely not live for a year! ”

The above is Shu Xiang's prediction of the political situation of Chu and the fate of Zigan, unfortunately this prediction is very accurate.

Now the whole court of the king of Chu is a party member who has abandoned his illness, and the only person who Zigan can trust, Guan Cong, has also abandoned him; No one in the royal family thought that the one sitting on the throne should be this good-for-nothing guy who slipped back from the Jin Kingdom to pick peaches; Everyone was indignant about the abandonment.

The situation is completely under the control of the abandonment, and then the genius director launches an epic historical tragedy.
