The incident that took place in Song City reached the monarch Song Yangong. When he heard that the great Sima Kong Fujia had been killed, his hands trembled with anger. I also heard that Dazai Kato was present in the crowd that caused the trouble, and that he was the one who took the lead in making trouble, and he was furious. Immediately send someone to Huatu, and he will admonish this evil Dazai and hold Huadu accountable for his sins.

Hua Tu knew that his goal had not been achieved, but he made a big deal out of it. Knowing that Song Yangong summoned him, he felt that he was in danger of life and death, so he told the people around him that he was sick and could not see the monarch.

Song Yangong did not call Dazai Huadu, and he was full of resentment. So he ordered to drive, intending to visit the mansion of Kong Sima to inspect the scene and prepare for the funeral of Da Sima.

Dazai Huadu was lying on the bed and pretending to be sick, so he sent all his henchmen out to inquire about all kinds of news, especially the movements of the monarch Song Yangong, and hurried back to report as soon as there was information.

Song Yangong had not yet boarded the car, and Hua Du already knew his whereabouts. Hurriedly called the few military officials who were rushing to the head to their side.

Taiai Huadu said: "The monarch favors the great Sima, you all know. You kill Sima now, do you know that the death penalty is inevitable? ”

The soldiers also felt that the matter was serious, and when they saw what Hua Du said, they didn't know what to do. Hua Du looked at the military officials, and saw that they were all trembling with fright, and they were at a loss. He softened his voice and said, "It's useless to be scared now." I don't know if you remember, the ancestor Song Mugong gave up his son-in-law and set up his son and Yi as the king, but the son and Yi repaid their grievances with virtue, and ordered the great Sima Kong's father Jia Lian to fight Zheng endlessly. Just because the son of the ancestor Mu Gong's son-in-law Zi Feng was in Zheng Guo, he had to kill Zi Feng to spare Zheng Guo. At this point, you should know how much the king cares about. ”

When several military officials heard this, they immediately knelt down in front of Dazai Huadu and said, "I ask Dazai to be the master, lead me to kill the unkind and unrighteous faint king, and welcome Zi Feng Gongzi back to China!" ”

Dazai Huadu: "So today we killed Sima Kong's father, just to do the right thing for heaven, and the reason of heaven is clear." Of course, it is not our goal to kill Da Sima tightly, and if we want to do great things, we must welcome a new king. Now that Zifeng Gongzi is still in Zheng Guo, you have to do this to turn disaster into blessing, right? ”

Several soldiers saw hope in Dazai's words, and their eyes flashed with vitality: "Dazai's words are all right, kill the faint king, and welcome the new king." Otherwise, we'll all die. Dazai, you just say what we should do, either the faint king dies or we die, there is something to do, we can still live, do we have any other choice? ”

Dazai Huadu gritted his teeth and popped out six words from between his lips: "If you don't do it, you won't stop it!" ”

So the soldiers went out to call on the sergeants to make trouble, and ambushed in the hidden place of the Kong Mansion, just waiting for the arrival of Song Yangong.

Song Yangong was in a state of confusion, in fact, as a monarch, there was no need to come out to take care of the funeral at such a time. Because Kong's family had already fled, it was only when the monarch appointed some people to settle down for a while, not when the monarch was present at the scene. But Song Yangong clearly felt that it was difficult to sleep and eat, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts properly about the current state affairs, and kept drawing arcs in his mind, what was going on? He didn't even know why someone was so bold and dared to break into the mansion of the Great Sima in the blue sky and daylight, and stabbed this Sima of the current dynasty! It's also unclear why Dazai Kato personally participated in such a bloody event, and then disappeared! Da Sima is gone, and you Dazai won't show up, who will you consult with about the monarch's affairs! He didn't understand even more that the Song State, a great country in the Central Plains and a big country with a certain strength, could fall into such a mess! The monarch, who was still in the dark until the end of his death, also hoped to save the current chaos by being there himself. Just when Song Yangong was puzzled, suddenly there was a noise, and a team of shirtless Song soldiers flashed in front of the convoy, and then countless soldiers rushed out from the corner, armed with sharp knives and sticks, all of them glared angrily, and went straight to Song Yangong's chariot. The guards around Song Yangong were frightened and scattered when they saw this, Song Yangong had not yet recovered from his confusion, the soldiers raised their swords and fell, and this confused monarch had already gone to the underworld.

When Hua Du heard the news, he put on mourning clothes and came to mourn by car. Then he ordered the drums to be beaten and urgently gathered the ministers. Those few military officials secretly cooperated with Hua Du, and had already raised two heads to say that they were the culprits who killed Song Yangong, in order to hide the eyes and ears of the ministers.

Dazai Huadu said loudly: "There was a riot, the king and the great Sima were killed, but fortunately, there were soldiers who upheld justice to maintain justice and killed the executioner who hurt heaven and reason. Gongzi Feng is the son of Xianjun, and he is still in Zheng Guo, I think the ministers will not forget Xianjun, and they should welcome Lizi Feng back to China. What else do you have to say? ”

Where have the hundred officials seen this meeting, Da Sima has just been killed, Song Yangong is dying, and the civil and military officials know that this is controlled by Dazai behind the scenes, but now that Da Sima is dead, the monarch is dead, Dazai is powerful, and there is a group of red-eyed killers standing behind him, who dares to speak out, so he has to retreat.

The governor of Hua then sent envoys to Zheng Guo to report the funeral, and welcomed his son Feng back to China as the king. On the one hand, he used the treasure house of the Song State as a heavy weapon, bribed various countries, and told Lizi Feng to be the monarch of the Song Kingdom.

At this time, Zheng Zhuang met with the Song envoy, received the letter of state, and knew the intention. The mutiny of the Song State was also expected by his Zheng Zhuang Gong, who originally wanted to continue to intervene by force, but he knew that this day would come so quickly, so he prepared the law and sent his son Feng Gongzi to Song as the king in a high-profile manner.

Before leaving, Zi Feng's face Zheng Zhuang Gong knelt on the ground and wept silently: "Zi Feng has been able to survive until now, all because of Jun's grace. Without Engong several times to retain, it was difficult for Zifeng to have today, but fortunately, he returned to China today and had to extend his ancestors. When he was friendly with Zheng Guo, he had no two hearts. ”

Listening to Zifeng's words, Zheng Zhuanggong sighed with emotion, he helped Zifeng up, patted Gongzi Feng's shoulder to encourage him, and it was difficult to suppress the joy in his heart, and from now on, the adjacent Great Song Kingdom would become Zheng Guo's allies.

In 710 B.C., that is, the tenth year of King Huan of Zhou, Zi Feng returned to the Song Dynasty, and Hua Du and his ministers worshiped as the monarch and was called the Duke of Song Zhuang.

Huadu is still Dazai, and those who go to various countries to give gifts have reported one after another, and all the countries that have been bribed have not been accepted. There is also Zheng Zhuang Gong is for Zi Feng's succession to the gong to open the way, he personally agreed that the monarch of Qi, Lu and Song Zhuang Gong will be in the alliance, the monarch of the three kingdoms will support Song Zhuang Gong, Song Zhuang Gong is grateful, especially to Zheng Zhuang Gong is a thousand thanks. Zheng Zhuanggong suddenly praised Hua Du, the attaché of Song Zhuang Gong who came to Jidi together, and suggested whether to let Hua Du be the minister of state.

Zheng Zhuang Gong said, "This time Song Zhuang Gong was able to succeed to the throne smoothly, Dazai Huadu contributed a lot, and he was a meritorious figure of the Song State, and he should be given a heavy responsibility." ”

Qi Jiaogong praised Hua Du's behavior.

Lu Huan Gong even expressed his appreciation, as if he had a kind of empathy, and even had some family affection for Song Zhuang Gong.

The Duke of Song Zhuang immediately named the governor of China as the prime minister. Hua Tu knelt down on the spot and was ordered.
