At that time, Wei Shu was a general of the Chinese army, and he planned to convene a general meeting of princes at Diquan (a city in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty) to help the royal family defend Chengzhou. Shi Ying persuaded him: "Sending troops to defend is not a long-term solution, if we withdraw our army, the enemy will come back; Labor mobilized the crowd but it had no effect. In my opinion, it is better to help the royal family strengthen the defense system. ”

Wei Shu thought so. He took his deputy envoy Han Buxin to Wangcheng to meet King Zhou Jing, and then held talks with Liu and Shan and reached a consensus. After staying in the royal city for two days, Wei Jiang led a team to Diquan to attend the princes' meeting.

Also attending the meeting at that time were Qi, Song, Wei, Zheng, Cao, Ju, Xue, Qi, and Xiao Di. Wei Jiang was in charge of presiding over the meeting, and he faced the south and stood in the middle of the rostrum, which caused great dissatisfaction among the envoys of the participating countries - that position was reserved for the sovereign of the chair; Although Jin Qinggong did not attend, Wei Jiang could only stand on the side of the main seat.

Dr. Wei later said to his deputy: "Wei Zi must not be exempt from disaster, he usurped the throne to issue orders, but he did not have that identity. "Poetry" says: "The anger of heaven is not daring to play." Respect the sky, no dare to gallop. 'Wei Zi does not respect heaven and monarch, how can he get good results? ”

Wei Shu said: "It has been 500 years since the completion of Chengzhou, and the city's population has more than doubled in the past 500 years. Although the city has expanded several times, the scale is still not enough to meet the demand. Civilians now build a large number of houses outside the city, and if the capital is attacked, they will be ruined and destroyed, and it will also bring a large number of refugees and instability to the city. Therefore, the Son of Heaven decided to expand the Zhou system and ordered the vassal states to provide labor and materials. ”

Doctors from all over the world agreed, and then a bloody ceremony was held.

Wei Shu handed over the survey and design tasks of the newly expanded city wall to the great Sikong Shi Mimu. In fact, this project is to build a new side on the basis of the original "mouth" shaped city wall in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and turn it into a "day" shape. Shi Mimu, who was old and strong, immediately led the officials to start the actual survey and measurement, design the construction plan, calculate the workload and working hours, and make the project allocation method, and then handed it over to Wei Shu.

In the first month of the spring of the first year of Luding, Wei Shu once again summoned the princes to Diquan for a meeting to distribute the construction tasks. Wei Shu still made the mistake of presiding over the meeting last time, and Dr. Wei added: "Building a city for the Son of Heaven but issuing an order as a monarch will surely cause great disaster." Even if the Jin State does not lose its princes, Wei Zi will also suffer a great disaster. ”

The Jin people sent the project distribution plan to the participants, but Song Dafu Zhongji refused to accept it. He said: "Teng, Xue, and Xiao Yi are all vassals of the Song Dynasty, and it is enough to assign tasks directly to them. ”

Doctor Xue said angrily: "The Song people are really unreasonable! It actually cut off the connection between our country and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty! The ancestor of Xue participated in the alliance of practicing the land that year, and the Duke of Jin Wen issued an order at the meeting: "All my alliances will be restored." 'Whether Xue Guo abides by the alliance of Jiantu or becomes a servant of Song State, please ask the master to issue an order. ”

Zhong Ji said: "The alliance of practicing the earth is the meaning of making Xue a servant of the Song State. ”

Doctor Xue retorted: "Emperor Xue's ancestor Xi Zhong is Che Zheng of the Xia Dynasty, and Zhong Yu later served as Shang Tang's Zuo Xiangbang. If the old position is restored, the widow is a royal minister, how can he become a subsidiary of the Song State? ”

Zhong Ji continued to quibble: "The three generations are different, Che Zheng and Zuo Xiang's positions have long been revoked by the Western Zhou, how does the doctor plan to restore it?" Now contributing to the Song Kingdom can be regarded as fulfilling his duties to the royal family. ”

Seeing that Dr. Xue still wanted to refute, Shi Mimu said to Zhong Ji: "Master accepts the plan first." I don't remember what my master said, but I immediately checked the archives of the Soil Alliance when I returned to decide whether Xue would replace Song to provide labor. ”

Xue Guoren stopped talking, but Zhong Ji, who was about to fight to the end, pointed the finger at Shi Mimu again: "Master forgot, could it be that the mountains and rivers and ghosts have also forgotten?" ”

Shi Mimu was furious, turned around and brushed his sleeves away. He found Han Buxin, reported the situation to him, and said: "The Xue people quote the ancestors, the Song people quote the ghosts and gods, and Zhong Ji's sin is great." And he is a serious humiliation to our country by using ghosts and gods to suppress our country. 'Enlightening and accepting insults' is this kind of person. So you can't let go of Zhongji! ”

Han Buxin immediately summoned Zhong Ji and detained him on the spot. The deputy envoy of the Song State came to plead guilty in fear and expressed his willingness to accept the task, but the Jin still detained Zhongji for three months before releasing him back.

Immediately after the meeting, the countries sent labor to the Eastern Zhou; Qi Guo's Gao Zhang's action dragged on, causing Qi to be on the road for nearly three months. By the time the Qi people arrived in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the project had entered the final stage, and the princes all looked at the Qi people with hatred. Chang Hong, the person in charge of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, was also very slack, he did not do a good job of logistical support, and on several occasions even forgot to prepare food for the laborers. Liu Wengong reminded him several times to respectfully carry out the orders of the Son of Heaven, and Chang Hong accepted criticism humbly on the surface, but was still absent-minded afterwards.

Uncle Kuan, the daughter of the Jin doctor, said: "Both Chang Hong and Gao Zhang will not be exempt from the difficulties (Chang Hong was later brutally executed by King Jing of Zhou, and Gao Zhang was exiled to the Jin Kingdom), Chang Hong disobeyed the Mandate of Heaven, and Gao Zhang disobeyed the orders of the alliance leader. What Heaven wants to damage, it cannot be saved; Do not be offended by the wrath of the multitude. ”

After the servitude of the princes was completed, the princes withdrew to the army defending the Eastern Zhou.

The following year, there was an internal unrest within the family in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It turned out that Gong Jiangong did not distinguish between relatives and relatives, did not trust the clan, and liked to appoint people outside the family to manage household affairs. Those outsiders took chicken feathers as arrows and ran rampant in the master's house, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the children of the family. The children announced to Gong Jian, who instead became angry with them and threatened to expel them from the house. In a fit of rage, his uncles and nephews beat him to death.

The following year, Cai Zhaohou escaped from the clutches of Nangwa; He came to the Jin Kingdom and asked for Vachu. In the spring of the fourth year of Duke Luding, he convened a meeting of the princes to discuss the matter of attacking Chu, but the issue was finally vetoed by the Jin people.

At this alliance, the Jin people made a dishonest behavior, which caused the princes to be disloyal to the Jin State. It turned out that the Jin people lost the pheasant tail on the flag before the meeting, and all countries had to tie this sign on the top of the flag during the meeting. The Jin people couldn't find the feather for the time being, so they borrowed it from Zheng Guoren on the grounds of holding a mock ceremony, and said that they had sent someone to collect it, and they would definitely return it before the meeting.

But the Jin people didn't collect it, and as a result, they broke their promise to Zheng Guoren - when the meeting was held, the flags of all countries were decorated with gorgeous feathers, but the top of Zheng Guo's flagpole was bare. Later, a good deed person said: "Zheng Guo's flag is decorated with a bald-tailed pheasant feather." "The people of Zheng have been deceived, and the people of the nations are deeply despised.

Liu Wengong did not achieve the goal of cutting Chu, and his mood became extremely low. Excessive worry damaged his health so much that he was bedridden a few days later.
