At the end of the year, Lu Zhaogong was going to the Jin Kingdom. When he was about to cross the Yellow River, an envoy from the Jin State rushed to say that the Drum State had rebelled against the Jin Dynasty and had turned to serve Xianyu, and that the Jin State was planning a war against Xianyu, which was inconvenient to receive foreign visitors. Lu Zhaogong turned around and went back.

Hua Deng asked King Chuping for help, and King Chuping ordered the great Sima Pingyue to rescue Hua's army. Fei Wuji said: "In today's Chinese countries, the monarch's power is on the side, and only the courtiers of the Song State can still serve the monarch. Now that the monarchs and ministers are vying for power, but the Chu State has abandoned the Song monarch and funded the rebellious ministers, I am afraid it is not in line with etiquette! ”

King Chu Ping said, "Master's words are too late, and I have already made a promise to Hua. ”

In the spring and February of the 23rd year of Lu Zhaogong, Bao Yue led the army of Chu into the Song State and confronted the coalition army.

Bao Yue sent an envoy to the Duke of Song and Yuan, saying: "The widow has heard that the Song State has disloyal ministers, which has become both a sorrow for the monarch and a disgrace to the temple; The widow did not dare to rest, so he ordered us to take the rebellious ministers back to be slaughtered in order to eliminate the sorrow in Song Jun's heart. ”

Song Yuangong said: "The widow has no virtue (this self-evaluation is quite accurate), and he can't please the doctor of the Gong family, which actually caused Chu Jun to worry, and I would like to thank Chu Jun first." Now that the monarchs and ministers of the Song State are enemies, the monarch of Chu said: 'I must help the courtiers.' The widow did not dare not listen to his orders. But the ancients famously said: 'There is no fault in chaos.' Today, the Chu army passed through the chaos of the Song Kingdom. Please the king of Chu 'Don't support disloyal ministers, don't shelter those who cause trouble. This is what the widow wants to say to the king. ”

After receiving the reply, Yue Yue was very anxious, because the behavior of the state of Chu violated justice, and the order of the king of Chu Ping could not be disobeyed. Between might and justice, he can only choose the former. Instead of sending envoys, he ordered the army to enter a combat state, ready to cross Suishui at any time to engage the coalition forces.

The Duke of Song and Yuan discussed countermeasures with the generals of the princes' coalition forces, and others were inclined to make concessions to the Chu State, because the ** teams were only here to save the Song, not to fight against the Chu State.

To the dismay of Song and Yuangong, Wu was in a hurry to return to China to command the war against Xianyu, so he strongly opposed a war with Chu. He said: "If Hua knew that he was besieged and had the heart to die, and Chu Shi was ashamed of his futility and fought quickly, both sides would have lost both, and the outcome would not have been known." This is not the result we wanted. It is better to allow them to go into exile to fulfill the Chu people, Hua will not have any threat, we have saved the Song country, and removed the scourge, what else can you ask for? ”

Song Yuangong's stubborn head kept shaking until Wu threatened him that he would abandon him if he insisted on going his own way, and he forced him to agree.

On 21 February, the coalition forces lifted the siege of the southern gate and gave way to a road. An army of the state of Chu entered the south, and the people of Chu took out the traitors and sent them to the camp of the Chu army.

In the ranks of the rebels there was a dazzling coffin, and in the coffin lay the great Sima Hua Feisui. The exhausted old man couldn't bear the cruel reality of his three sons dying and betraying each other, and his family was once expelled, so he died at the end of last year. When the coffin car passed in front of the Song army, many sergeants shed tears and watched Lao Sima on his last journey.

After the war subsided, the Duke of Song and Yuan Dynasty named Gongsun Ji as the Great Sima; Bian Wei is the chief priest; Le Qi is the city; Zhong generations of Xiang Ning as the left teacher; Le Daxin is the right teacher of Huahai; In order to appease the people.

The chaos lasted for three years, and as a result, the descendants of the great figures of the Song Kingdom, Hua Yuan and Xiang Xu, and the most powerful families of the Song Kingdom, disappeared from the stage of Song history.

At the end of this chapter, I would like to add to the events that have taken place in other countries over the past few years.

In the winter of the twentieth year of Lu Zhaogong, Cai Pinggong died.

In March, Cai Ren buried Cai Pinggong, and the envoy sent by Lu Guo came back and said to his uncle Sun Wan: "When the funeral was held, Prince Zhu was not in his position, and that position was occupied by Gongzi Dongguo, and it seems that something is going to happen to Cai Guo." ”

Uncle Sun Wan sighed: "I'm afraid Cai Guo will perish again!" If he does not die, this monarch will not be able to get a good death. There is a saying in the "Book of Songs": "If you don't understand the position, the people are at stake." Now that Cai Hou has slackened his position at the beginning of his succession to the throne, he is willing to be in a humble place, and his body will follow his heart and lose his throne. ”

Childe Dongguo wants to take the throne of the monarch. When Fei Wuji sent Cai Guo, he bribed Fei Wuji very heavily. Now that the government affairs of the Chu State are all under Fei Wuji's control, he said to the powerful doctors of the Cai State: "Cai Zhu has never been liked by the widow, he always ignores the orders of the Chu State and does it on his own, and the widow wants to establish the Eastern Kingdom as the Marquis of Cai; If you don't agree, Master Chu will once again set foot on the Cai State. ”

The doctors couldn't figure out the situation and were very scared, so they drove Jun Zhu away.

Cai Zhu went to Chu to complain, and King Chu Ping didn't know the truth, so he wanted to gather an army to crusade against Cai Guo. Fei Wuji said: "The Marquis of Cai Ping had an alliance with the king, so he was able to restore the country; His son had a grudge against Chu, so the doctors deposed him. King Chu Ling killed Prince Yin, Dongguo was his son, and he shared hatred with the king, so he must be grateful to Dade; Isn't it okay for Cai Renli to establish such a monarch? Moreover, the abolition of the monarch of Cai State lies in the king, and if the Eastern Kingdom is not loyal, it will be replaced by another one. Only then did King Chuping give up his thoughts.

In June, the Jin State of the Central Army Zuo Shi Ying sent an envoy to the State of Lu, and his uncle Sun Wu received him as a ruling party. Ji Sun Yiru wanted to belittle the reputation of his uncle Sun Wu in the Jin Kingdom, so he ordered the ceremonial officer to entertain Shi Ying with the gift of the Seven Prisons.

Before the ceremony, Ji Sun Yiru "inintentionally" revealed to the Jin people that this kind of etiquette had been used to entertain Bao Guo, the doctor of Qi State. Shi Ying was furious, he found his uncle and grandson and said: "Qi is a small country, Bao is a humble country, how dare you treat Yaqing of Jin with the etiquette of entertaining him?" This is a great insult to the Jin Kingdom, I must return to the widow and ask him to make a decision! ”

Uncle Sun Wu didn't dare to offend Shi Ying, and finally added eleven labor.

In fact, it is in line with the Zhou etiquette to entertain the martingale with the Seven Prisons, but the etiquette of the Lu people to Bao Guo has surpassed the identity of the envoy.

On the first day of the seventh month of the 21st year, there was a solar eclipse.

Lu Zhaogong asked Zishen: "What is this sign?" Is it a blessing or a curse? ”

Zishen: "If there is a solar eclipse at the spring and autumn equinoxes, summer solstice, and winter solstice, there will be no disaster. For the movement of the sun and the moon at equinoxes is the same way; At the time of the two solstices, it is passed. In other months, there are natural disasters, when the sun is obscured and floods can occur. ”

In order to eliminate the natural disaster, the uncle cried loudly to the sun, and the uncle said, "Uncle Zi is afraid that he will die!" It's not something he's supposed to cry about. ”

In August, his uncle fell ill and died.
