Chapter 678: The Rebellion of Song and Wei (1)
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Lu Dinggong, Qi and Wei prepared to jointly attack Jin. The allied forces met at Chuijia (northwest of present-day Heze, Shandong), where the army strengthened the walls of Chuijia and then marched westward.
The coalition forces marched to the east bank of the Yellow River and stopped. Qi Jinggong was ready to cross the river, but the doctors were very afraid, and they all thought that they should turn around and return to China, and only Bing Yizi agreed. He said: "We can cross the river, we will attack the cities of Hanoi (now Taihang to Shandong, north of the Yellow River, Henan Anyang to Qinyang), the news will reach Jiangdu after a few days, and the Jin army will not be able to set off without three months of preparation." By then, we have already conquered and returned home, so why not? ”
Qi Jinggong ordered the river to be crossed. After going ashore, Qi Jinggong deprived the leading doctors of the right to ride in the Xuan car, and only retained the treatment of Bing Yizi in the Xuan car.
The coalition forces swept through several cities in Hanoi before withdrawing. Qi Jinggong, an old gentleman who is almost seventy years old, still has a naughty heart, and he wants to ride in the same chariot with Wei Linggong, but he has no proper excuse, so he designs a little prank.
One day, in the middle of the day, Qijing held a banquet to entertain Wei Linggong. The war horses on Wei Ling's carriage had already taken off their bridles and gone to graze, but Qi Jinggong parked his chariot prepared in advance near the venue, and placed two sets of armor on it.
When the two were eating and drinking happily, someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "The Jin army has caught up!" Wei Linggong was shocked, but Qi Jinggong seemed "calm". Qi Jinggong stood up, pointed to the chariot on the side and said in high spirits: "Don't be dry, the chariot of the widow is the chariot of the marquis." Come, let the widow drive for the prince! ”
After saying that, the two of them quickly boarded the chariot, took out the armor from the chariot and put it on neatly, and then Qi Jinggong led the sergeants to drive in the direction of the "enemy's" advance. The chariot ran out of more than five miles, the sergeants were tired and out of breath, and Qi Jinggong's addiction was almost over, when a scout came to report: "It's not the Jin army that came, it's the rear army of our army!" Wei Linggong was relieved, but Qi Jinggong looked very disappointed, and drove the chariot to lead the group of hard-working "extras" back to the camp.
The two countries have not been retaliated against by the Jin army, because the Jin state soon broke out in the Liuqing Rebellion.
The following is a description of the two riots that occurred in the Song and Wei dynasties during the three years from the rebellion of Hou to the departure of Confucius.
The turmoil in the Song Kingdom stemmed from Song Jinggong's abnormal favor for a minister and a son's unnatural favor for his retainers. There is a man named Xue Fu Hunter who was born in a declining family of scholars, and his experience when he was young was similar to that of Liang Qiu's early years, and he began his career as a good man when he was young, living a depraved life of selling his art during the day and selling his body at night. Later, Song Jinggong's brother Gongzi took him home, and since then he has enjoyed his "rights" alone. Gongzidi spoiled him so much that he gave five of the eleven fiefdoms he owned to the elephant aunt.
Xiang Wei is famous (he is Xiang Xu's great-grandson), and his mother is a good sister to Duchess Song Jing; So Xiang Wei was sent to the palace since he was a child, and was raised by Song Jinggong and his wife as godsons. When he became an adult, he began to serve as the Great Sima and became Song Jinggong's most trusted doctor.
In the tenth year of Lu Dinggong, Gongzi bought four rare and heroic pure white horses from the hands of the Donghu people. Gongzi regarded white horses as treasures: he specially built a clean and comfortable stable, and hired horse breeding experts from Donghu with high salaries, and he would visit them in the stables every day, and often brush their fur in person; In the end, he only allowed Xue Fulie to drive his white horse chariot.
These things spread so much in the Song Kingdom that every time he rode on the avenue of the Song Kingdom, a large number of Chinese people would gather in front of the car and behind the horses to watch.
One time when Gongzi was on a trip, he was seen by Xiang Wei, and his soul was completely taken away by four BMWs: he stared at them intently, like a heavy staring at four amorous women of good families; He involuntarily followed Xuanche, and accidentally followed him out of the city. Many passers-by witnessed the whole process of losing people to Xiang Wei, and the matter was spread by those idle mouths, and as a result, Xiang Wei was laughed at by the Chinese people for several days.
The news also reached Song Jinggong's ears, and he decided to snatch the horse and give it to Xiang Wei to help the "godson" fulfill his wish. One night, Gongzidi was summoned by Song Jinggong to enter the palace. Xuan Che came to the palace gate, and he ordered Xue Fu to wait for him in the car as usual, and then got out of the car to meet Song Jinggong.
Gongzidi had just entered the palace gate, and suddenly several fierce thugs ran from a certain direction. They ran to the front of the car and began to untie the BMW from the car without saying a word, and Xue Fulie hurriedly got out of the car to stop it, but they covered their mouths and fell to the ground unable to move. The thugs snatched the horses neatly, and Xue Fulie wanted to enter the palace to call the police but was stopped by the sergeants. When Gongzi left the palace gate, he saw that only the frame of his car was left, and the male pet in tattered clothes was sitting on the ground in a daze.
After Song Jinggong took away the four BMWs, he dyed their manes red and gave them to Xiang Wei. Xiang Wei accepted four hot potatoes, and was anxious all day long, he got the BMW but didn't dare to use it. As a result, the secret was discovered by Gongzidi, who knew very well that only Song Jinggong could do such a bold and arrogant thing, but he didn't dare to exert himself on Song Jinggong, so he had to spread his temper on Xiang Wei.
Gongzidi learned that Xiang Wei was going to secretly send the BMW to Fengyi, so he led people to ambush in advance on the road that the team must pass. When Xiang Wei entered the ambush circle, Gongzidi ordered his subordinates to rush over to recapture the BMW, and he happily slapped Xiang Wei again, and put down a cruel sentence before leaving: "You wait for me!" It's not over! ”
Xiang Wei was not the kind of person who was strong in the face of trouble, he was so frightened by the threat that he didn't even dare to stay in the city for another day. He was about to flee to the country of Lu, so he ran to the palace to bid farewell to the "godfather". Song Jinggong was shocked, he hurriedly rushed to the door and closed the door, ordered him not to leave, and said that he would settle the matter properly.
Xiang Wei couldn't help but lie on his godfather's chest, crying like a child who had been wronged, and even his eyes were red and swollen from crying. That night, he stayed by Song Jinggong's side and stayed in the palace for several days.
Now it's Childe's turn to feel uneasy. He knew Song Jinggong's temperament too well, and knew that his feelings for Xiang Wei were equivalent to his hunting for Xue Fu; knew that even if he didn't attack himself, he wouldn't let go of Xue Fulie. But Gongzidi has an arrogant temperament - this kind of person never thinks that he is wrong - so he will not take the initiative to admit his mistake to Song Jinggong. Just when he was restless and at a loss for what to do, his half-brother Gongzi came to visit him.
Gongzichen said: "My brother favors the retainers and rich hunting, but he doesn't take the official life in his eyes, this approach is indeed biased. From what I can see, my brother might as well pretend to be scared and leave the Song Kingdom. The blood of a brother is thicker than water, and the monarch will not bear to see his brother go into exile, and he will definitely recall his brother. In this way, the contradictions between the brothers are resolved. ”
Gongzidi appreciated this plan very much, and he soon left Shangqiu to escape to the state of Chen. But although he walked very, very slowly, and Gongzichen reminded Song Jinggong that Gongzidi had embarked on a journey of exile and persuaded him to summon Gongzidi back, Song Jinggong turned a deaf ear and was indifferent, and even soon took back the fiefdom of Gongzidi.
Gongzichen completely messed things up now. This kind-hearted man who pretends to be smart but can't see through people's hearts is equivalent to inadvertently helping Song Jinggong expel his opponent, so that Gongzi can never return to the motherland.
