When the second son heard this, he was very afraid, and the thirty-six plans were to go, Chong'er fled to Pu, and Yiwu fled to Qu, strengthened his defense, and waited for it.

At the beginning, the Xiangong sent the doctor Shifang to build the two cities of Pu and Qu for Chong'er and Yiwu, and accidentally put firewood and grass in the city wall. But it didn't work.

Yiwu reported this to Xiangong, who was very angry with Tufang.

Shi Fang apologized and said: "Your Majesty has heard that if there is no mourning and grief, sorrow will definitely turn into hatred. If a city is built without war, the enemy will surely come and take it. If the enemy will come and occupy it, why should it be so cautious? It is disrespectful to be in an official position and not accept the king's orders, and it is disloyal to strengthen the enemy's city. If you lose your respect and loyalty, what can you do to serve the king? The poem says: "To be virtuous is to be peaceful, and to be a disciple of the same clan is to fortify the city." 'If the king can cultivate virtue and the status of the prince of the country, what city can be compared? If he has to use troops after three years, where can he be so cautious? There are few enemies on the border, so what is the use of building a city?'

After retreating, he composed a song: "The fur coat of fox fur is chaotic, and there are three dukes in one country, which makes me at a loss!"

Finally the city was finished. After Shen Sheng's death, these two cities really came in handy.

Xiangong heard that the second prince said goodbye without saying goodbye, and he was angry, and sure enough, they had a premeditated plan with the prince, so they sent troops to attack Pucheng.

The lord of Pucheng, Bo Bao, got the order to kill Chong'er, so he urged Chong'er to commit suicide quickly.

Hearing this, Chong'er secretly jumped over the wall and fled, and Bo Yu hurriedly chased after him, only to cut off Chong'er's sleeve with a sword.

Chong'er escaped death and ran to Qucheng, where Xiangong sent people to crusade against Qucheng, but Qucheng was strictly defended and failed to take it.

In the spring of the sixth year of Duke Lu, Duke Jin Xian sent Jia Hua to attack Qucheng. Yiwu couldn't hold on, and made an alliance with Qu Ren and fled. Yiwu was about to flee to Di Kingdom, but Rui said: "You fled to Di Kingdom after Chong'er, which proves that you are guilty, it is better to go to Liang Kingdom." Liang was close to Qin and was trusted by Qin. So Yiwu went to the country of Liang.

Chong'er and Hu Yan, Zhao Yuan, Dian Jie, Wei Li, Xu Chen and others were exiled to Zhai State, of which Hu Yan is Chong'er's uncle, Zhai State is also Fox Yan's motherland, at this time Zhai people are fighting with Yao Ji Ru and captured two girls, Zhai people gave these two girls to Chong'er. Chong'er married one of the girls named Ji Kui, gave birth to Bo Minn and Uncle Liu, and gave the other to Zhao Yuan.

In September of the twenty-sixth year of Jin Xiangong, Jin Xiangong died.

Qin Mugong sent Zixian to express his condolences: "I heard that the widow heard that losing the country is often at this time, and gaining the country is often at this time, although you are respectful and serious, you can't mourn for too long, and you can't lose the opportunity, please think about it." ”

Chong'er told his uncle Hu Yan about this, and Hu Yan said, "You better excuse yourself." There is nothing precious for the mourners, but only love and affection are valuable. What a great deal is the death of my father, and if we want to use this thing for profit, then who in the world can say that we are not guilty?"

Chong'er said to the guests of the Qin State: "The king admires the face of the exiled Chong'er, when my father died and lived in the funeral, I couldn't attend the funeral, and let you."

Worry about it. What a great deal is the death of my father, and where else can I have any other plot to live up to your affection?"

Heavy ears made a courtesy but did not thank the guests of the Qin State, got up crying, and after getting up, he no longer talked to the guests of the Qin State in private.

Zixian reinstated his order to tell Qin Mugong about the matter. Qin Mu said fairly: "Benevolence, Gongzi has heavy ears! Bow but don't thank you, because he doesn't have the heir of the Duke of Xian and considers himself to be the heir, so he doesn't thank you." When you cry and get up, you show your love for your father. When you get up but don't talk privately, it means staying away from personal interests. ”

After the death of Jin Xiangong, the son Xi Qi succeeded to the throne, Li Ji was the mother of the country, Xun Xi was the minister of Tuogu, and the Jin Secretary of State who had been supporting the prince Shen Sheng, Fu Rick, Pi Zheng's father and others took the opportunity to gather people to make trouble, and stabbed the young lord Xi Qi to death on the mourning hall of Jin Xiangong, and then Xun Xi established Zhuo Zi as the Jin Jun, Rick and others assassinated Zhuo Zi in the court, and whipped Li Ji to death.

Rick and the others sent Fox Yan's brother Fox Mao to Zhai Country to greet Gongzi Chong'er, intending to support him.

He thanked him and said: "I disobeyed my father's order and fled from the Jin Kingdom, and after my father died, I couldn't wait for the funeral according to my son's etiquette, how dare I return to China and take the throne, please ask the doctor to change someone else." ”

So Rick asked people to go to Liang to meet Yiwu, and Yiwu's advisers Lu Province and Yin Rui thought that Rick would not let the prince in the Jin State be the king, but instead looked for the exiled Yiwu, which was unconvincing, so they discussed the land west of the river in exchange for the support of the Qin State to return Yiwu to the Jin, and promised that Yiwu would be the king and then give Rick the title of Fenyang.

In the first year of Jin Hui A, Yiwu ascended the throne and was known as Jin Hui Gong in history.

After Jin Huigong ascended the throne, he violated the agreement given to Qin and Rick, and killed Pi Zheng's father and the Seven Doctors.

In the eighth year of Jin Huigong, Jin Huigong was afraid that the Jin people would be attached to Chong'er, so he sent Bo Ba to chase and kill Chong'er.

Chong, who had lived in Zhai for 12 years, heard the news and discussed with Zhao Yu and others: "I fled to Zhai not because it could help me, but because it was close to the Jin Kingdom and easy to reach, so I stopped here for the time being. After a long time, I hope to go to a big country. Duke Qi Huan likes good deeds, aspires to hegemony, and is sympathetic to the princes. Now that I heard that Guan Zhong and Xi Peng have passed away, Qi also wants to find a virtuous person to assist, why don't we go?"

So, Chong'er embarked on the road to Qi again.

When he left Zhai, Chong'er said to his wife: "When I don't come back for twenty-five years, you will remarry." ”

His wife replied with a smile: "By the twenty-fifth year, the cypress on my grave will grow up." Still, I'll be waiting for you. ”

Chong'er and his entourage first came to Weiguo, and Wei Wengong saw that he was downcast and did not treat them well, so they left Weiguo.

When he walked all the way to Wulu, southeast of Puyang, Henan, Chong'er was so hungry that he really had no choice, so he asked the villagers along the way for some food, and the villagers saw his depressed appearance, so they gave him a piece of soil for him to eat.

Heavy ears were furious, and Zhao Yu comforted him and said: "Earth, symbolizing the land, they are a sign of surrender to you, and you should bow and accept it." ”

He thanked the villagers and loaded the clods of soil on the car and went to Qi Kingdom.

Chong'er arrived in the country of Qi, and Qi Huan was thick

Entertain him, and marry a girl from the same family, Qi Jiang, to Chong'er, and accompany twenty carriages, Chong'er felt very satisfied here, and lived a comfortable life in the country of Qi.

In the twelfth year of Jin Huigong, Duke Huan of Qi died, Ji Diao and others initiated civil strife, and then Duke Xiao of Qi ascended the throne, and the armies of the princes came to invade many times, and the hegemony of Qi was not in the domestic and foreign troubles.

Chong'er lived in Qi for five years, fell in love with his wife married in Qi State, and slowly forgot his ambition, and had no intention of leaving Qi State.

One day, Zhao Yu and Hu Yan were discussing how to leave Qi under a mulberry tree, and Qi Jiang's maid heard their secret conversation on the mulberry tree, and went back to the house to secretly tell Qi Jiang.

Qi Jiang actually killed this maid and advised Chong'er to leave Qi as soon as possible. Chong'er said: "People are born to seek comfort and pleasure, what do you care about other things, if I don't leave, I will die in the country of Qi." ”

Qi Jiang said: "You are the son of a country, and you came here in desperation, and these retinues of yours regard you as their life. I am ashamed of you that you did not hurry back to your country to repay your toiling courtiers, but you coveted women. Besides, if you don't pursue it now, when will you succeed?"

Qi Jiang and Zhao Yuan and others used tricks to get Chong'er drunk, and left Qi with him in a car, and walked a long way before Chong'er woke up.

The fox said, "If you kill me, you can do it, and I am willing to die." ”

Heavy Ear said, "If things don't work out, I'll eat your flesh." ”

The fox smiled and said: "Things can't be successful, my meat is fishy and shameful, how can it be worth your food!"

So Chong'er calmed his anger and moved on.

When Chong'er arrived in Cao Guo, Cao Gonggong was rude and wanted to peek at Chong'er's coercion.

Doctor Cao Guo said: "The son of Jin is wise and capable, and we are the same surname as Ji, passing by our country in poverty, you can't be so rude to him." “

Cao Gonggong did not listen to the advice, so he privately brought food to Chong'er and put a piece of jade under the food.

Chong'er accepted the food and returned Biyu to the Guardian.

Chong'er left Cao and came to Song, Song Xianggong had just been defeated by the Chu army and was wounded in Hongshui, and when he heard that Chong'er was virtuous, he received him according to the national courtesy.

Sun Gu, Sima Gong of the Song Kingdom, had a good relationship with Hu Yan, so he said to the Duke of Wen of Jin: "The Song State is a small country, and it has just suffered a defeat, which is not enough to help you return to China, so you should go to a big country." ”

Chong'er and his party then left the Song Kingdom.

Chong'er passed by Zheng Guo, Zheng Wengong did not receive them according to courtesy, Zheng Guo's doctor Shuzhan advised Zheng Wengong and said: "The son of Jin is virtuous, his entourage is all pillars of talent, and we have the same surname Ji, Zheng Guo is from King Zhou Li, and Jin Guo is from King Wu of Zhou. ”

Zheng Wengong retorted: "There are too many sons who have escaped from the vassal states, how can they all be received according to etiquette!"

Shu Zhan said: "If you don't treat him politely, you might as well kill him, so as not to become our trouble." ”

Zheng Wengong ignored Shu Zhan's advice.

Chong'er left Zheng and went to Chu, and King Chu Cheng entertained him with the same courtesy as he treated the princes, but Chong'er didn't dare to accept it.

Zhao Yuan

He said: "You have been on the run for more than 10 years, and generally small countries despise you, let alone big countries? Today, Chu is a big country insists on treating you well, don't give in, this is God making you rise." ”

Chong'er then met with King Chu Cheng according to the courtesy of the princes, and King Chu Cheng entertained Chong'er well, and Chong'er was very humble.

At the banquet, King Chu Cheng said, "If you can return to the Jin Kingdom in the future, what will you use to repay me?"

Chong Er said: "Rare birds and beasts, pearls and jade silks, the king is rich and rich, and I don't know what gifts to repay." ”

King Chu Cheng said: "Even so, what should you use to repay me?"

Heavy ear said: "If you have to do it, in case you meet in the plains, lakes and marshes, I will retreat for you." ”

After hearing this, Ziyu, the general of Chu State, said angrily to King Chu Cheng: "King, you are too good to Prince Jin, and today you are disrespectful, please kill him." ”
