vs 568 To be virtuous is to be at peace

The messenger replied, "It is indeed my king's sin that the tribute has not been sent, and how dare you not provide it in the future?" As for King Zhao not going back, the king still asked the people by the water's edge! The armies of the princes advanced and were stationed in the land. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

In the summer, King Cheng of Chu sent Qu Wan to lead troops to the garrison of the princes' army. The army of the princes retreated and was stationed at Zhaoling. Duke Qi Huan lined up the army he led into a battle formation, and Qu Wan sat in a chariot to inspect the procession. Qi Huan said: We sent troops, is it for me alone? In order to continue the friendly relationship established by the ancestors. How about the mutual friendship between our two countries? Qu Wan replied: "The king has come to our country to seek blessings, and the king has appeased my king, which is exactly what my king wants!"

Qi Huan Gong said: With such an army to fight, who can resist them? With such an army to attack a city, what city will not be breached? Qu Wan replied, "If the king appeases the princes with virtue, who will dare to disobey?" If the king uses force, the state of Chu has a city mountain as a city wall and the Han River as a moat, and the king's army, even if there are many of them, it is of little use. Qu Wan made a covenant with the princes.

Yuan Taotu of Chen Guo said to Shen Hou of Zheng Guo: The army passes between Chen and Zheng Guo, and the supply of the two countries will inevitably be difficult. It would be nice if you went east, showed off your strength to Dongyi, and returned home along the sea route. Shenhou said: Okay. Yuan Taotu told Qi Huan Gong about this one, and Qi Huan Gong agreed. Shenhou Jin saw Qi Huan Gong and said: The army has been outside for a long time, if you go east and meet the Di people, I am afraid you will not be able to fight a tough battle. If it is between Chen and Zheng, and the two countries supply the army with food and military shoes, this will be fine. Qi Huan Gong was very happy, rewarded him with the tiger prison, and arrested Yuan Taotu.

In the autumn, the state of Qi, the state of Jiang, and the state of Huang attacked the state of Chen, which was to crusade against the state of Chen's disloyalty to the state of Qi. Xu Mugong died in the army, and he was buried with the system of burial marquis, which was in line with etiquette. If a prince dies at a court meeting, the funeral will be added to the funeral; Those who died fighting for the Son of Heaven are given a second degree. In this case, you can use the dress of the Son of Heaven to enter the burial. In winter, Shusun Dai led troops to join the armies of the princes and invade the state of Chen. Chen Guo sued for peace and put Yuan Taotu back.

At the beginning, Jin Xiangong wanted to set up Li Ji as his wife, and used turtles for divination, which was unlucky; Divination with grass, auspicious. Xiangong said: Listen to the results of the divination of yarrow (shi). The diviner said, "The number of yarrow is short but the turtle is long, so it is better to follow the turtle divination." And its 繇 (yáo) rhetoric says: Exclusive pets will make people bad and will steal your ram. Vanilla and stinky grass are put together, and there will still be a stench in ten years. Absolutely not. Jin Xiangong didn't listen and set up Li Ji. Li Ji gave birth to Xi Qi, and her sister gave birth to Zhuozi. When he planned to establish Xi Qi as the crown prince, Li Ji had already made a plan with Doctor Zhongda.

Li Ji said to the crown prince: The king dreamed of your mother Qi Jiang, you must hurry up and sacrifice her. The prince went to Quwo to offer sacrifices, and brought back the sacrificial wine and meat to the sacrificial princes to eat. Xiangong happened to go out hunting, and Li Ji put the wine and meat in the palace for six days. When the prince returned, Li Ji put poison in the wine and meat and offered it. Offering wine to the ground, the earth protrudes like a grave. Give the meat to the dog, and the dog will die; Give it to the eunuchs, and the eunuchs are dead. Li Ji cried and said: The conspiracy came from the prince. The crown prince fled to Xincheng and sacrificed his bodyguard Du Yuan.

Someone said to the crown prince, "If you plead, the king will surely be able to figure it out." The prince said: The king has no concubine, he is restless, and he does not have enough to eat. If I plead, Liji will be guilty. The monarch is old, and the guilt of Li Ji will make the monarch unhappy, and I will also be depressed. Say, "Then run away!" The prince said, "The king has not yet found out my sins, and if I go out in this name, who will accept me?" On December 27, the prince hanged himself in Xincheng. Li Ji framed the two sons and said: They all participated in the prince's conspiracy. So Chong'er fled to Pucheng, and Yiwu fled to Qudi.

(5) Five years of public service

In the spring of the fifth year, the first day of the first month of the Zhou Dynasty calendar, the winter solstice. After Lu Xigong listened to the government in the Taimiao, he climbed the viewing platform to look at the clouds and recorded it, which was in line with etiquette. Whenever the spring equinox, the autumn equinox, the summer solstice, the winter solstice, the beginning of spring and summer, and the beginning of autumn and winter, the clouds must be recorded, because of the preparation for the famine. Jin Xiangong sent an envoy to report the reason for the killing of the crown prince Shensheng.

At the beginning, Jin Xiangong sent Shi Jiang (wěi) to build a city for the two sons in Pudi and Qudi, but accidentally put firewood in the city wall. Yiwu told Jin Xiangong. Jin Xiangong sent people to reproach Shi Gong. He prostrated and replied, "The minister has heard that there is no mourning and sorrow, and sorrow will follow; If a city is built without a plague, the enemy in the country will certainly use it for defense. If the enemy can occupy it, where is the need to be cautious? It is disrespectful to hold an official position and not accept orders; It is unfaithful to consolidate the place that the Di people can occupy. Without loyalty and respect, how can we serve the king?

The Book of Songs says: Virtue is tranquility, and the children of the clan are the city. As long as the king cultivates virtue and strengthens the position of the children of the same clan, which city can compare? If you have to use troops after three years, where can you be cautious? Quitting and writing a poem, he said: The fox fur robe is fluffy, and a country has three masters, who should I follow wholeheartedly? When the disaster occurred, Jin Xiangong sent the temple people to attack Pucheng. Chong'er said: The king's and father's orders cannot be disobeyed. And announced: "It is my enemy who resists." Chong'er fled over the wall, and the temple people cut off his cuffs, and finally he fled to the country of Zhai (di).

In the summer, Gongsun Zi went to the country of Mu and married there. Duke Lu and Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Huan of Song, Duke Xuan of Chen, Duke Wen of Wei, Duke Wen of Zheng, Duke Xu and Duke Cao Zhao met at Shouzhi and met with Zheng, the crown prince of King Zhou, in order to stabilize Chengzhou.

Yuan Xuanzhong of Chen State resented Zheng Guo's Shenhou for betraying him in Zhaoling, so he deliberately persuaded Shenhou to build a city in the given fiefdom, saying: If you build a beautiful city, your reputation will be greater, and your descendants will not forget it. I help you with your request. He built a city wall for the request of the prince to the princes, and it was built beautifully. Yuan Xuanzhong slandered in front of Zheng Wengong and said: The city wall of the feudal city is so beautiful that it is ready to use this city wall to rebel in the future. Shen Hou was convicted for this.
