It turned out that this Gong Yang used to hate Yang Hu the most, and after the fall of Yang Hu, he changed to hatred of Confucius. Confucius was an ultra-conservative and staunch royalist who acted in the interests of the public office, and in the past few years of his political career, he has been committed to weakening the power of the Three Huans and the Quan Chen (but the methods are very subtle and few people can realize it); And Gong Yiyang is a radical, he can go to the soup for Meng Yizi, but he never considers Lu Dinggong's feelings.

Because Gong Yiyang was outside the political center, he could clearly see what the insiders could not see. He himself studied several orders issued by Confucius, and thus analyzed a rule: all the plans related to the Three Huans proposed by Confucius were detrimental to the interests of the Three Huans. After receiving the order, Gong Yiyang saw through Confucius's conspiracy, and he believed that it was his duty to prevent the damage to Meng's interests, so he secretly came to see Meng Yizi.

Gong Yongyang said: "Yunyi is the foundation of the Meng family, and the master's destruction of the wall of the Yiyi is the guarantee of destroying the Meng family." What the enemy never dreamed of doing, it was fulfilled in the hands of his master. Unlike Fei and Yu, it was once a place of contention between Qi and Lu (the competition between the two countries for Yu occurred during the reign of Duke Lu Huan), and it was the goal that the people of Qi never forget. If the master destroys the Yiyi, Qi Kou will come; Qi Kou is coming, and the city will be lost. Therefore, we must not listen to the nonsense of Confucius. But since the king's order has been issued, in order not to make it difficult for your master, you will pretend that you do not know anything, and I will refuse to carry out the order to destroy the city. If the master does not believe in the loyalty of his ministers, I will send all my sons to the master; If you want to kill or chop, do what the master wants! ”

Meng Yizi was greatly moved, with tears in his eyes, he took Gong Yiyang's hand and said: "If it weren't for the master's timely reminder, the foundation of the Meng family for several generations would probably be destroyed in my hands!" Do as the Master says. I trust the Master the most, so the Master should let the sons stay with him. If anyone finds out that they are all here, this big drama will not be able to go on. Gong Yang was overjoyed, so he rushed back to Yuyi overnight.

A few days later, Meng Yizi received a letter from Gong Yiyang, in which he accused Meng Yizi of being "stupid and confused", and that he had ruined his family business by believing Confucius's nonsense, and said that he would stick to the Zongyi left by Meng's ancestors, and that he would not destroy him if he died.

Meng Yizi took the letter and showed it to Lu Dinggong, and both of them were at a loss. Lu Dinggong asked him to resolve the matter as soon as possible and not affect the process. Meng Yizi immediately sent the elder to persuade Gong Zhiyang.

Gong Zhiyang, however, appeared on the city wall with his armor warriors in full armor, and he kept the envoys out of the city, even forbidding them to approach the city gates. The old man Gao had to convey Meng Yizi's "opinion" in a voice. Gong Yang said: "Unless the master takes back the order to destroy the city, the master will not come again!" In a hurry, the old man was about to argue, and Gong Yang drew his bow and shot an arrow at the ground in front of him as a warning. The old man didn't dare to continue to ramble, so he had to return stupidly.

Meng Yizi introduced the situation in Yiyi at the court meeting; Lu Dinggong was at a loss, the doctors looked at each other, and Confucius looked solemn. Lu Dinggong could not tolerate the grand plan to destroy the strength of Sanhuan being hindered by the little man Gong Zhiyang, and despite his advanced age and frailty, he decided to personally lead his army to eliminate the rebels.

After retiring from the dynasty, Sanhuan got together for a secret meeting; Meng Yizi first told the truth at the meeting, and then said: "'Three Huan in one' is the principle that the three families have abided by for generations. Now that Sanhuan is being calculated, they must be closely united. It has become our last refuge, and we can't afford to lose it again! So please support me in my choice, and don't do anything that hurts and hates me! When I get through this, the two of you will have to raise the walls again. ”

Ji Huanzi and Shusun Zhouqiu woke up like a dream, both of them felt remorse for their original decision, and they couldn't wait to open a gap to save the situation from the rebellion in Yiyi, so they nodded in agreement.

Lu Dinggong issued a conscription order, and the Sanhuan could not openly disobey (because they had already agreed to crusade against the Yiyi), so when they were collecting troops, they secretly ordered the commanders not to attack in order to destroy their allies, nor to fight bravely at the risk of being slaughtered by them. They also said that the attack was unbreakable, that the attack was only to put pressure on the rebels, and that the problem could only be resolved through negotiations. The commanders understood and tactfully passed on the master's intentions.

The three huans each levied half of their troops. In winter and December, Lu Dinggong led his army to surround Yuyi; He gave the order to attack in anticipation of victory, but what happened next made him so angry that his forehead was bruised and his lungs were about to explode.

When the order was received, the commanders began to pace down the city, and the soldiers staggered and carried ladders and slowly pushed the crashing cart as if they were walking in the fields of their respective homes. The rebels sat crookedly on the battlements, spitting on the middle fingers below, and laughing at them. When the army began to attack the city gates, the rebels began to throw straw mats, raise ashes, and pour cold water downward, that is, they did not use lethal weapons; The attackers "struggled" to dig doors and hit walls, making the momentum earth-shattering, but they only did not work.

In a short time, the gates of the city suddenly opened; Heavily armed and numerous rebels roared out of the city gates; Seeing that the situation was not good, the attackers immediately threw down their weapons and ran away. The defeated army broke up the line like a tidal wave and rushed to the barracks; No matter how Lu Dinggong stopped it, he just couldn't stop it. The rebels shouted and gave chase; Lu Dinggong had to turn the head of the car and flee in a hurry, so as to avoid the fate of being captured.

The defeated army was crushed for several miles, and the entire military camp was surrendered to the rebels; This expedition failed with such a humiliating process and result.

Lu Dinggong led the defeated army back to Qufu with a disgraced face, and he disbanded the army on the outskirts of the city, sneaking into the city gate with only a few guards.

The situation is completely clear: Sanhuan saw through the conspiracy of Lu Dinggong and Confucius, and took countermeasures. Obviously, the two of them have completely failed.

So far, Sanhuan's attitude towards the two is still gentle, and it can be considered that he just gave the two a tepid warning. The two monarchs and ministers also saw the situation clearly: if the two still insisted on going their own way, the next thing that broke out would be a bloody storm against the two of them, and a huge disaster that would destroy them and the entire office.

Lu Dinggong felt frightened, and Confucius also felt disheartened. Sanhuan's attitude towards Confucius is not as respectful as before; Ji Huanzi even began to send cronies to secretly monitor Zilu's every move.

Among the three Huan, the one who felt the most annoyed, helpless and distressed about Confucius was none other than Ji Huanzi.
