Section 596 Shun's deeds
Duchess Lu Wen Jiang returned to Qi State, this is to return to her parents' home and not to come back. When she was about to leave www.biquge.info she cried through the bazaar and said, "Oh my God! Xiang Zhong had no way to kill his son-in-law and his son-in-law. The people in the bazaar wept with her, and the people of Lu called her Mourning Jiang.
Ju Jigong gave birth to the prince servant, and then gave birth to Ji Tuo, loved Ji Tuo and deposed the prince servant, and did many unceremonious things in the country. The prince's servant relied on the strength of the people in the country to kill Ji Gong, took his treasure jade and fled to him, and gave it to Lu Xuangong. Xuan Gong ordered him to give him the city, saying, "I must give it today." Ji Wenzi asked Si Kou to drive him out of the country, saying: Today must be thoroughly implemented. Lu Xuangong asked why he did this. Ji Wenzi asked Tai Shike to reply: The first doctor Zang Wenzhong taught his father the etiquette of serving the monarch, and his father responded to each other according to it, and he didn't dare to lose it. The first doctor said: When you see a king who is polite to him, serve him as a filial son supports his parents; When they see the ruler who is rude to him, they kill him like an eagle chasing a bird.
The ancestor Zhou Gong made "Zhou Li" and said: Etiquette is used to observe virtue, virtue is used to deal with things, things are used to measure merit, merit, and merit is used to take food from the people. He also made "Oath" and said: Destroying etiquette is a thief, harboring a thief is dirty, stealing property is stealing, and stealing treasures is adultery. Having a reputation for harboring stolen goods and using the treasures of traitors is a great virtue, and the state has prescribed punishments for this, which cannot be pardoned, and is recorded in the "Nine Punishments" and cannot be forgotten. The Father carefully observed the servants, and there was nothing to imitate.
Filial piety and faithfulness are virtues, while thieves and adultery are fierce virtues. If this servant takes his filial piety, then he killed the king's father; Take his faithfulness, then he stole the precious jade. He is a thief; His utensils are stolen evidence. If you protect this person and use his utensils, you are harboring stolen goods. In order to educate the people, the people will be confused and have nothing to do. These performances of the servants are not good things, but they are all fierce virtues, so they drove him away.
In the past, there were eight talented descendants of the Gaoyang clan: Cangshu, Tui, Chou, Dalin, Longzhen, Tingjian, Zhongrong, and Shuda, who were upright, accessible, magnanimous, far-reaching, wise, trustworthy, virtuous, and honest, and the people of the world called them Eight Kai (kǎi). There are eight talented descendants of the Gaoxin clan: Bofen, Zhongkan, Shuxian, Ji Zhong, Bohu, Zhongxiong, Shubao, and Ji Li, they are loyal, respectful, diligent, beautiful, thorough, kind, benevolent, and tolerant, and the people of the world call them eight yuan. These sixteen families, who have inherited their virtues from generation to generation, have not lost the prestige of their previous lives, until Yao's time, but Yao has not been able to exalt them.
After Shun became Yao's subordinates, he promoted Bakai and let them take up official positions in managing the land and handle all kinds of affairs, and there was nothing wrong with them, and there was peace on earth and in heaven. He also raised eight yuan, and let them preach the five kinds of teachings in the country of the four directions, the father preaches morality, the mother is loving, the elder brother is friendly, the younger brother is respectful, and the son is filial, and they are safe inside and out. Once upon a time, the Emperor Hong had a son who had no talent, who concealed morality, shielded traitors, liked to do those things that belonged to the evil virtues, and led bad things to the same kind, and those who were ignorant and treacherous, mixed with him, and the people of the world called him Hun Dun.
The people of the world called him a poor man who had a son who had no talents, who had destroyed faith, who had abandoned loyalty, who had been accustomed to slander, who had appointed treacherous people, who had spread rumors and slandered him, who had covered up his sins, and who had framed Shengde. There is a son who has no talent, there is no way to teach, he doesn't know good words, he is stupid and stubborn, he abandons him, he is evil and treacherous, despises the virtues of teachers, and disturbs the common way of heaven, and the people of the world call him Hanji. These three families, who have inherited their viciousness from generation to generation, have aggravated their bad reputation until Yao's time, but Yao has not driven them away.
The Jinyun clan has a son who has no talent, pursues food and drink, covets money, is extravagant in human nature, cannot be satisfied, accumulates wealth and grain, has no limit, does not distribute to orphans and widows, does not give to the poor, and the people of the world compare him with the three evils and call him gluttonous. After Shun became Yao's subordinate, he opened the city gates of the four directions, exiled the four vicious families, and drove Hun Dun, Qi Qi, Han Qi, and Tao Tao to the remote places on the four sides, so that they could defend themselves against the monsters. Because of this, after Yao's death, the world was like a person, and he supported Shun as the Son of Heaven with one heart, because he lifted the sixteen phases and removed the four evils.
Therefore, the Book of Yu cites Shun's exploits and says, "If you carefully carry forward the Five Classics, you will be able to obey him", which means that there is no false teaching. To say, "In the midst of many affairs, affairs can go smoothly" means that there are no wasted affairs. It is said that "the gates of the city are opened in all directions, and the guests who come from afar are respectful and solemn", which means that there are no fierce characters. Shun established twenty great merits to become the Son of Heaven, and now Xingfu has not gotten a good person, but has driven out a fierce person. Compared with Shun's deeds, it is already one-twentieth of the deeds, and it is almost free from sin!
The clansmen of the Wu clan of the Song Kingdom led the son of Zhaogong and prepared to serve Sicheng Su to launch a rebellion. In December, Duke Wen of Song killed the sons of his brothers Xu and Zhaogong, and asked the clansmen of Dai, Zhuang, and Huan to attack the Wu clan in Sima Zibo's hotel, so he expelled the clansmen of Duke Wu and Duke Mu, and sent Gongsun Shi to be the Sicheng. When Gongzi died, he sent Le Lu as a priest to calm the hearts of the people in the country.

Duke Xuan and Duke Hui of Qi met in Pingzhou to stabilize Duke Xuan's throne. Dongmen Xiangzhong went to Qi to thank Xuangong for being able to participate in the alliance.
In June, the Qi people obtained the earthen fields west of Jishui, which was due to the fact that the Qi State helped Xuan Gong to become the king, and used this as a thank you gift to the Qi State. When the Song people killed Zhao Gong, Xun Lin's father of Jin led the army of the princes to attack Song, Song and Jin made peace, and Song Wen accepted the covenant in Jin. He also met with the princes in Hudi, preparing to crusade against Qi for the Lu State. Both times he obtained the goods and returned to China. Zheng Mugong said: The Jin Kingdom is not worthy of personal attachment. Just accept the covenant in the state of Chu. When Duke Chen died, the state of Chu did not practice the etiquette of mourning of the princes, and Duke Chen Linggong accepted the covenant in the state of Jin.
