Next, we have to talk about Jin Wengong himself.

His experience is probably the most bumpy of all kings, he has experienced all the ups and downs of life, from the king of the country to the common people, almost all identities, all things he has seen.

According to historical records, in the nineteenth year of Jin Wugong, Chong'er was born, and he was the son of Jin Xiangong and Fox Ji. By the time he was seventeen, he had five friends with noble character and outstanding talents: Zhao Yuan, Hu Yan, Jia Tuo, Xianzhen, and Wei Li.

When Jin Xiangong was still the crown prince, Chong'er had grown up. In the thirty-ninth year of Jin Wugong, Jin Wugong died, and Jin Xiangong succeeded to the throne, and Chong'er was twenty years old.

In the eleventh year of Jin Xiangong, Li Ji was favored and wanted to make his son the heir, so he sent someone to persuade Xiangong to let Shen Sheng, Chong'er and others leave the national capital. In the summer of that year, Xiangong let the crown prince live in Quwo, Chong'er in Pudi, Yiwu in Qudi, and Li Ji and her sister's sons Xi Qi and Zhuo Zi were still in the national capital.

In the twenty-first year of Jin Xiangong, Li Ji further framed the prince Shensheng, and Shensheng committed suicide. Li Ji began to frame the other two sons of Jin Xiangong, Chong'er and Yiwu, and after learning the news, Chong'er fled to Pucheng, and Yiwu fled to Qucheng.

In the twenty-second year of Jin Xiangong, Jin Xiangong was furious because Chong'er and Yiwu said goodbye to the two sons, and believed that they had a conspiracy, so he sent the minister Bo Ba to crusade against Pucheng. Chong'er said, "The order of the monarch cannot be disobeyed. So he told the people: "Those who disobey the king's command are my enemies." Chong'er escaped over the wall, but Bo Ba caught up with him and cut off his cuffs, and Chong'er fled to his mother's homeland, Zhai Guo (also known as "Di Guo").

What followed was a decades-long life in exile, and it was these experiences that made Jin Wengong taste all the hardships of the world, and finally grew into a generation of Ming monarchs.

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, the son Xi Qi succeeded to the throne, Li Ji was the mother of the country, Xun Xi was the minister of the orphan, and the Jin Secretary of the Jin Dynasty, who had been supporting the prince Shensheng, 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 in the mourning hall of Jin Xiangong, and then Xun Xi set up Zhuo Zi as the Jin Jun, Rick and others assassinated Zhuo Zi in the court, and whipped Li Ji to death, and sent Hu Yan's brother Hu Mao to Zhai State to meet Gongzi Chong'er, intending to support him. He thanked him with a heavy ear: "I escaped from the Jin Kingdom against my father's orders, 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 exchanging the land west of the river in exchange for the support of the Qin State to return Yiwu to Jin, and promised that Yiwu would be the king and then give Rick the city 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 attach to Chong'er, so he sent Bo Ba to chase and kill Chong'er, and Chong'er, who had lived in Zhai for 12 years, heard the news and discussed with Zhao Yu and others: "I fled to Zhai at the beginning, 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 Chong'er left Zhai, Chong'er said to his wife: "If I don't come back for twenty-five years, you will remarry." The wife smiled and replied, "In twenty-five years, the cypress on my grave has grown 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 reached Wulu all the way, Chong'er was so hungry that he couldn't help it, so he asked the villagers along the way for some food, and when the villagers saw his depressed appearance, 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." "Thank the villagers and put the clods of soil in the car and go to Qi.

When Chong'er arrived in the Qi country, Qi Huan Gong entertained him with great courtesy, and married a girl from the same family, Qi Jiang, to Chong'er, and accompanied twenty carriages, Chong'er felt very satisfied here, and lived a comfortable life in the Qi country.

In the eighth 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 there in 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, 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? She and Zhao Yu and others used tricks to get drunk and drove him out of Qi State. After walking a long way, Chong'er woke up, and as soon as he found out the truth of the matter, Chong'er was furious and picked up Ge to kill his uncle Huyan. The fox said, "If you kill me, you can do it, and I am willing to die." He 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. 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, lest you 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 Yu said: "You have been on the run for more than ten years, and most small countries despise you, let alone big countries? Today, Chu is great country insists on treating you well, you don't resign, this is God making you rise. Chong'er then met with King Chu Cheng according to the courtesy of the princes. 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 jades and silks, kings are rich and surplus, and they don't know what gifts to repay." King Chu Cheng said, "Even so, what should you use to repay me?" Chong'er said, "If I have no choice but to meet you in the plains and 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." King Chu Cheng said: "The son of Jin is of noble character, he has been killed abroad for a long time, and his entourage is all virtuous people of the country, this is arranged by God, how can I kill him?" And what is there to refute his words? ”

After Chong'er lived in Chu for a few months, the crown prince of Jin, who was hostage in Qin, learned that Duke Huigong of Jin was seriously ill and left Qin without saying goodbye. Qin was particularly angry, and when he heard that Chong'er lived in Chu State, he wanted to invite Chong'er to Qin. King Chu Cheng said: "The state of Chu is too far away from the state of Jin, and it takes several countries to reach it. The border between the Qin State and the Jin State is very virtuous, the monarch of the Qin State is very wise, you can go well! "King Cheng gave a lot of gifts to Chong'er.

In the autumn of the fourteenth year of Jin Huigong, Chong'er arrived in Qin, and Qin Mugong married five women from the same sect to Chong'er, and Prince Yu's wife (Huai Ying/Wen Ying) was also among them. Chong'er didn't intend to accept the wife of the crown prince, and Xu Chen said: "We are going to attack the country of Yu, let alone his wife!" Moreover, you accepted this woman in order to form a marriage with the Qin State in order to return to the Jin Kingdom, aren't you sticking to small etiquette and forgetting the great shame! Chong'er then accepted the prince's wife. Qin Mugong was very happy and personally feasted with Chong'er. Zhao Yu chanted the poem "Millet Miao". Qin Mugong said, "I know you want to return to the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible. Zhao Yu and Chong'er left their seats, bowed to Qin Mugong again, and said, "We, the isolated courtiers, rely on you, just like Baigu looks forward to knowing the good rain of the season. ”

In September of the fourteenth year of Jin Huigong, Jin Hui Gong died, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, which was for Jin Huaigong. After Jin Huaigong ascended the throne, he was afraid of the Qin State crusade, so he ordered that those who fled with Chong'er must return to Jin on time, and those who overdue killed the entire family, because his uncle Hu Yan and Hu Mao followed Chong'er and did not return to China, and Jin Huaigong killed Chong'er's grandfather Hutu. In November, Jin buried Jin Huigong.

In December, Luan Zhi, Yin Gu and others, the doctors of the Jin Kingdom, heard that Chong'er was in the Qin State, and they all secretly came to persuade Chong'er, Zhao Yu and others to return to the Jin Kingdom, and there were many people who responded internally. So Qin Mugong sent an army to escort Chong'er back to the Jin Kingdom. When Jin Huaigong heard that the Qin army was coming, he sent an army to resist, but the people were unwilling to resist when they knew that Chong'er was coming back, and only the old ministers of Jin Huigong, Lu Xing and Yin Rui, were unwilling to let Chong'er take the throne.

In the spring of the first year of Jin Wen, the Qin State escorted Chong'er to the bank of the Yellow River. Facing Chong'er's imminent ascension to the throne, Hu Yan said: "I have followed you around the world, there are too many mistakes, I know it myself, I beg to leave now." Chong'er said: "If I return to Jinhou and there is someone who is not of the same mind as you, please ask Hebo to testify!" So, Chong'er threw Biyu into the Yellow River and swore an oath to the fox. At that time, Jie Zitui was also an entourage, and he was in the boat, so he smiled and said: "It is true that God is supporting the rise of Gongzi, but Hu Yan thinks that it is his own credit and asks the king for it, which is too shameless." I don't want to be with him. After saying that, he hid and crossed the Yellow River. The Qin army surrounded Linghu, and the Jin army was stationed in Luliu.

On the Xin Chou day of February, Hu Yan formed an alliance with Qin Jin Doctor in Xun. On the day of Renyin, Chong'er entered the Jin army. On the day of Bingwu, the heavy ear arrived at Quwo. Ding Weiri, Chong'er went to the Wu Palace to worship and ascend the throne, which was for the Duke of Jin Wen. The ministers all went to Quwo to worship. Jin Huaigong fled to Gaoliang. On Wushen Day, Chong'er sent people to kill Jin Huaigong. In the evening of Jichou, Lü Xingxing and Yin Rui attempted to set fire to Chong'er, but they were informant by Bo Bao, and Lü Xing and Yin Rui fled to the Yellow River and were booby-trapped by Qin Mugong.
