The covenant was signed, and a copy of the covenant was sent to the representatives of the princes present at the meeting. A covenant is placed on top of the sacrifice and fills in the pit. At this point, this alliance was successfully completed, and the countries had time to rest and recuperate, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.

After this covenant, the prestige of this Zhao Wu was unprecedentedly high, both at home and abroad. The period of Zhao Wu's reign was the most peaceful era in the Spring and Autumn Period, and everyone loved Zhao Wu's benign rule. Zhao Wu believes that the governance of the country lies in talents, and in order to make the country strong and prosperous, it is necessary to promote and reuse talents. Ren Cai does not shy away from relatives, and if his virtue is insufficient, he will set an example and educate him. For those who went to the Jin Kingdom to defect, Zhao Wu also settled them one by one. As a hegemon, employing people regardless of national borders, carry forward the previous tradition of "Chu talent for promotion" for "the world's talents for Jin". As a result, after the failure of many nobles in the internal struggle, they all regarded the Jin Kingdom as the first place to settle. In the reign of Zhao Wu and Han Qi, Weisun Linfu, Shi Xi, Qin Gongzi Needle, Qi Wuyu, Gao Zhu, Gao Qiang, Zheng Yujie, Gongsun Qiao, Fengjuan, Han Shuo, Chu Gongzi Bi, Gongzi Qiji, Xu Gongzi Zhi, etc., all regarded the Jin Kingdom as their second home.

It is said that the Jin State has a virtuous talent like Zhao Wu, and it should be prosperous again, but the Jin Ping Gong is mediocre, Zhao Wu here is trying to revive and strengthen his prestige, and the monarch is trying to corrupt there. Not to mention his lustful and absurd imprison Wei Hou, and only released Wei Hou with a bribe beauty, he built a city for his uncle Qiguo, and ordered Qi, Song, Lu, Wei, Zheng, Cao, Ju, Teng, Xue, Xiao Di and other countries to send construction teams to serve the third-rate small country Qiguo, and did not hesitate to appoint the commander-in-chief of Zhiying. Such a mobilization of the people to do a small thing caused the waiters to complain, and they all found Zhao Wu to protest, so Zhao Wu had to comfort him with kind words, and sent envoys to reward the countries to calm the resentment. Working so hard day and night, it consumed Zhao Wu's energy prematurely.

In the winter of 541 B.C., the Duke of Jinping led the Zhuqing Doctor to hold a sacrifice, and then the Duke of Ping led the ministers of the Emperor to sacrifice Tang Shuyu, Qu Wohuan and other sages. Zhao Wu left the noisy Jinzong Temple, and took the clansmen to worship Boyi and the father, suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

The next day, Jin Pinggong received an obituary, heartbroken, and then ordered the whole country to mourn, Jin Pinggong personally mourned for this Zhengqing who was dedicated to the country, and planned to say "Wen", honorific title Zhao Wenzi. When the princes heard about this, they sent their chief doctors to mourn and express their gratitude for their contribution to the peace of the world. When Zheng Jiangong heard that Zhao Wenzi had died, he went to the Jin Kingdom to attend the funeral. That week, the Son of Heaven got the news and also sent Liu Zixia to attend the funeral.

Zhao Wu died, Han Qi took over as the general of the Chinese army, during the reign, Zhao Wu's son Zhao became the Zhongjun Zuo, perhaps God gave the Zhao family the excellence, so to get back some compensation from his family, Zhao Dun died at the age of 55, Zhao Shuo died at the age of 43, Zhao Wu died at the age of 55, and Zhao died prematurely at the age of 42. Fortunately, he left a son, Zhao Ying, at the suggestion of Han Qi, the young Zhao Ying went to the dynasty on behalf of his father, ranking at the end of the Six Qings.

That Han Qi was low-key and indifferent to the hegemony of the Jin State. During his reign, Han Qi has always balanced the contradictions and interests between the six secretaries, so that they have not been superficial, and the other secretaries and doctors, knowing that his rule is moderate, have used means to seek personal interests, abandoning state affairs and ignoring them, and the monarch of the public office also let it go and is at ease.

Han and Zhao United have a fine tradition of more than 100 years and support each other. The Fan family and the Zhongxing family have also long been in the same party, from the gentleman's friendship between the Shihui and Xun Lin's father, to the hand in hand between Shixie and Xun Geng, and then to the life and death of Shilu and Xun Yan. By the time of the Bank of China Wu and Shi Ying, the two families were already the same. The weakest Zhi clan, Zhi Song, is attached to the Zhong Xing clan because he is the same sect as the Zhongxing Wu. The Wei family among the six Qings gradually rose under the leadership of Wei Jiang and Wei Shu, and in the early years, the Wei family was promoted by Han Ju, and Wei Shu was more willing to get close to Han Qi and Zhao Ying.

In this way, the Jin State generally formed a situation in which Han, Zhao, Wei and Fan and Er Xun were opposed.

The Han family also benefited a lot from Han Qi's reign and strengthened the foundation of the Han family. In 514 BC, Han Qi, who had been in power for 28 years, died of old age, and Wei Shu served as the ruler. In 497 BC, Han Qi, who was over ninety years old, died.

That Wei Shu's administration also almost continued Han Qi's strategy, making a smooth transition without fighting for hegemony, and showing his talents to strengthen his family.

However, it is said that the Qi family of the Jin Kingdom, during Qi Ying's tenure as the suzerain of the Qi family, his retainer Qi Sheng and Wu Zangtong's wives were adulterous and promiscuous. Qi Ying arrested the two, but Qi Sheng bribed the Zhi clan's suzerain, Zhi Song, and Zhi Song made a statement to Jin Qinggong, saying that Qi Ying used lynching without permission. So, Jin Qinggong asked Qi Ying to be arrested. Qi Ying's retainers discussed: Both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to kill Qi Sheng and Wu Zang first, so that the head of the family can be happy before being killed. So, the Qi family killed Qi Sheng and Wu Zang. And Jin Qinggong also killed Qi Ying and his henchman Yang Shime, and killed the Qi clan and the sheep tongue clan.

At that time, it was Wei Shu who was in power, and in order to protect the monarch's power, he maintained the office, so that the land of the Qi clan was divided into seven counties, and the land of the Yangyu clan was divided into three counties, a total of ten counties. Among them, Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei each got one county, and the rest were assigned to the office, while the Fan family and the Zhongxing family received nothing. For this reason, the Fan Sect Master Shi Yan hated Wei Shu deeply.

In 513 B.C., Shi Ying conspired with Xun Yin, the son of Wu of the Bank of China, to cast a criminal tripod to implement his Fan family motto to become famous through the ages, but Shi Ying also knew that this move was afraid of being scolded by the scholars, and his family was small, so he needed to involve another faction Wei Shu and others. That Wei Shu is not easy to fool, but that Zhao Ying is still tender and can be a gunman. So in the name of building a city, he took Zhao Ying to Rubin to build a city, and Xun Yin, with the assistance of Zhao Ying, collected folk iron weapons everywhere, claiming that he was ready to hand them over to the state. After that, Xun Yin melted about 480 catties of iron collected and cast it into a tripod, and set up the law formulated by Fan Xuanzi on the tripod, and claimed to be on the order of Zhengqing Wei Shu. Once this law is declared in the world by the inscription, it means that the era of "punishment is not a doctor, and the etiquette is not a concubine" has become history. Before the casting of this tripod was finished, the news had already caused a shock to the country, not only attracting the chatter of the domestic doctors and aristocrats, but also by the strong condemnation of the scholars and doctors of other countries, which was a huge challenge, subversion and even trampling on Zhou Li.

The ruling Wei Shu heard that Sanqing had made such an earth-shattering move in the national capital, and hurriedly ordered people to rush to order Xun Yin to stop work day and night, Xun Yin turned a deaf ear, and instigated Zhao Ying to move forward bravely.

After the completion of the casting tripod, Xun Yin and Zhao Ying returned to the court, Wei Shu was very dissatisfied with his subordinates so arrogant, and convened Zhuqing to organize a court meeting to discuss the feasibility of the incident. As soon as the cause and effect are explained, everyone knows that Fan Ying is the mastermind, Xun Yin is the executor, and Zhao Ying is only a participant. In the court, the ministers avoided talking about the serious, the Han family and the Zhao family were kind to each other and defended Zhao Ying, while Xun Song was silent. Talking back and forth has yielded little results, and the matter has come to this point, so we can only resign ourselves to fate.

After retiring from the dynasty, Taishi Cai Mo said to Wei Shu: "In the past, the king discussed matters with a system, not for punishment. But now Fan Shiying has tampered with the national law privately, and Xun Yin, as a military general, has claimed that it was your order against your will to cater to Shi Ying's torture weapon, and also use it as the national law, which is overkill! This martingale is bound to come to the end of the road in the country. It's just that Zhao Ying is probably going to be implicated, but he was forced, I hope he will do good deeds and be benevolent, maybe he will be spared! ”

"How can I not know, it's just that Zhao Ying's political experience is insufficient, and he carried the black pot for Nashi Martingale." Wei Shu said regretfully.

Although he is not compatible with Shi Ying, he can generally get by, and Wei Shu is fun by nature, and he still does not change his nature after taking power. In 509 B.C., in the 3rd year of the reign of Jin Dinggong, Wei Shu led the princes' doctors to build a city wall for Zhou Tianzi in Diquan, Luoyi. During this period, he handed over the matter to other doctors, and led his men to Dalingze (northwest of present-day Huojia County, Henan) to hunt, set fire to the wasteland, and died on the road when he returned.

After the death of Wei Shu, Shi Ying was promoted to the ruling Zhengqing, although this Shi Yang is talented, but the heart is vicious and extremely resentful, because of the division of the Qi land, recalling Wei Shu's contempt for himself, he was not assigned to Fan, extremely annoyed, always looking for an opportunity to retaliate, at this moment Wei Shu died on the throne, remembering the events of the year, the fire rose from the heart, an order, "Wei Shu is Zhengqing, familiar with the law, but he left his post in the process of building the city wall for the Zhou royal family, knew the law and violated the law, in accordance with the law noted on the 'Criminal Ding', remove the installation of Wei Shu cypress coffin, and bury it with the doctor's ceremony. ”

It is said that it respects the law, but it is nothing more than a means of revenge, so he was buried with the rites of a doctor to humiliate him.

After taking power, Shi Ying did not think about the country, but he tried his best to suppress dissidents, that Zhao Ying, Han Buxin, and Wei Hao are still young, and Zhao Ying's assistant Xun Yin always monitors everywhere, and reporting the group for heating is the response strategy of Zhao, Han, and Wei, and it is the most important thing to develop their own strength.

However, what happened was to completely subvert the image of the great power of Shi Ying.

In 509 B.C., the Marquis of Cai Zhao met the King of Chu Zhao according to the previous alliance of soldiers, when the Marquis of Cai Zhao made two pieces of jade pendant and two leather clothes, and presented one of the jade pendants and a leather coat to the King of Chu Zhao as a gift for the court. King Chu Zhao put on a leather coat and a good jade pendant, and set up a banquet to entertain Marquis Cai Zhao. Cai Zhaohou himself also wore another leather coat and jade pendant. Chu Ling Yin Nangwa saw that Cai Zhaohou did not prepare a gift for himself, so he had evil thoughts and sent a message to Cai Zhaohou to ask for leather clothes and jade pendants, Cai Zhaohou was worried that if the gift given to Nangwa was the same as that of the king of Chu, it would cause the king of Chu to be dissatisfied, so he did not agree. This Nangwa was angry in his heart, and ordered to detain Zhaohou Yu Chu for three years under a false name, and then after being bribed by Cairen, Nangwa got enough benefits before allowing Cai Zhaohou to return. No matter how Cai Zhaohou said, he was also the candidate of a country, relying on the overlord of the Jin State, and was so insulted by the Chu State Ling Yin, he was angry, when he arrived at the Han River, he ripped off the jade he carried and threw the jade into the Han River, and raised his head to the sky and shouted, "If I don't protect this revenge, I will be a country in vain!" After returning to China, Marquis Cai immediately went to Jin in full gear to meet Shi Ying, wanting to take his son Gongzi Yuan and the son of the doctor as hostages, and asked to attack Chu with Jin.

Seeing that this opportunity could increase Fan's prestige among the princes, Shi Ying naturally agreed, and in March 506 BC issued an order to the princes and countries to meet the alliance, Shi Ying accompanied the representatives of Jin Ding Gong and the Son of Heaven Zhou Jingwang Liu Wengong, Qi Guohuizi, Song Jinggong, Cai Zhaohou, Wei Linggong, Lu Dinggong, Chen Huigong, Zheng Xiangong, Cao Yin Gong and Xu, Di, Dun, Hu, Teng, Xue, Qi, Xiao Di, a total of 18 princes will be allied in Zhaoling, in the alliance, Shi Ying asked Xun Yin to ask Cai Zhaohou for bribes, Cai Zhaohou was disappointed, it turned out that Shi Ying, Nangwa all the way, angrily left and went to seek refuge in the state of Wu far south.

This Zhaoling meeting was originally to convene all the princes to humiliate Cai Zhaohou, but the protagonist could not be found early the next morning, and the little princes got the news, which turned out to be due to Shi Ying and others asking for bribes to cause Cai Zhaohou to leave. Therefore, this alliance will not be over, and the despicable behavior of Fan and Xun in front of the princes of the world is a great disappointment.

In 504 BC, at a court meeting in the Song Kingdom, Sicheng Leqi reminded Song Jinggong: "The current Jin Kingdom is in constant trouble, the Six Qings are not in agreement, and the princes all want to rebel from the Jin Kingdom." Now that we neither betray him nor attach ourselves to him, the people of the Jin Kingdom will hold a grudge in the future. "In recent years, the hegemony and policy diversification of the Jin State have made the Song people unable to find a direction, and Song Jinggong thought twice and decided to let Le Qi go to the Jin State in person to show favor to the Jin State. Le Qi felt that it was unlucky to go to the Jin Kingdom this time, so he accepted the advice of his retainers and recommended his son Le Wei to Song Jinggong, as the heir of the Dai family, and left the Song Kingdom.

At this moment when the prestige of the Jin State among the princes fell to the freezing point, hearing that the Song State took the initiative to send envoys to show obedience, the Jin State was deeply pleased, and Shi Ying sent Zhao Ying to greet him. Zhao Ying and Le Qi met on Mianshang, and the two drank and talked, and Le Qi gave Zhao Ying the sixty good shields he brought. After arriving in the capital, Le Qi also lived in Zhao Ying's mansion. Chen Yin, a retainer of the Le family, felt that it was very inappropriate: "Our Dai family used to rely on the Fan family, but now in the Jin Kingdom, the Fan family is strong. This time, he changed his court and joined the Zhao family, and he also gave Zhao Ying such a valuable treasure. Now things are irretrievable. If you die in the Jin Kingdom, your descendants will surely succeed in the Song Kingdom in the future. ”

Le Qi didn't think so, or he had already expected that he would not return. A generation of virtuous ministers of the Song State has done their best for the country, and they have long put life and death aside, and they have long been tired of the greed of the martingale, and they have seen that the end of the Fan family is approaching. On the contrary, from his few conversations with Zhao Ying, he had already spied a glimpse that this unambitious Zhao Ying was very likely to succeed in the Jin Kingdom. For the sake of the family and the motherland, Le Qi resolutely chose Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying's every move was under the supervision of Shi Ying, and Shi Ying, who was extremely sensitive to political smell, once again predicted that his authority as Zhengqing was provoked by Zhao Ying, and saw that the Le family, who had been filial to him in the past, was in danger of changing the court, and immediately forced Jin Dinggong to be in power: "Le Qi, the envoys of the Jin State and the Song State, on the orders of their masters, came to our country for a state visit, but they acted without permission and formed a good relationship with the Zhao family, which is clearly to collude with the Zhao family and have fun with Zhao Ying." He has lost his vocation as an envoy, and he must be severely punished! ”

Why doesn't Jin Dinggong know the reason? Shi Ying's hand covers the sky, what do you know? Jin Dinggong ordered Le Qi to be arrested. All this is naturally manipulated behind the scenes, and Zhao Ying has the heart to rescue but has no power to return to the sky.
