Section 569 Igo

In the fall, the princes will meet. King Hui of Zhou sent Zhou Gong to summon Zheng Wengong www.biquge.info and said: I appease you to follow the Chu State, and let the Jin State assist you, so that you can settle down a little. Zheng Wengong was pleased with King Hui of Zhou's order, but he was also afraid that he would not meet the Qi state, so he planned to flee and return to China instead of taking part in the oath. Uncle Kong didn't let him go, saying: The monarch can't act rashly, and if he is rash, he will lose someone he can get close to. If you lose someone close to you, disaster will come. When the country is in trouble and prays for an alliance, there is much to lose. You will definitely regret it. Zheng Wengong did not listen and left the army and absconded to return to China.

The dougu of the state of Chu perished the state of Xian, and the state of Xianzi fled to the state of Huang. At this time, Jiang, Huang, Dao, Bai and Qi were friendly, and these countries all had marriage relations with the Xian State. Xianzi relied on these relationships and did not serve the state of Chu, and did not set up defenses, so he was destroyed.

Jin Xiangong once again borrowed a road from Yu to attack Yu. Gong Zhiqi dissuaded: The Kingdom of Yu is the foreign country of the State of Yu, and if the State of Yu is destroyed, the State of Yu will definitely suffer, and the ambition of the State of Jin cannot be opened to him, and the introduction of foreign troops cannot be ignored. Once is enough, can you come a second time? As the saying goes, "the board of the cart and the cart are interdependent, and if the lips are missing, the teeth will be cold", which is the relationship between the Yu Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom. Yu Gong said: Jin Kingdom is my clan, will it harm me? Gong Zhiqi replied: Tai Bo and Yu Zhong are the sons of the prince. Taibo did not follow the left side, so he did not succeed to the throne.

Yu Zhong and Uncle Yu, the sons of Wang Ji, have been the kings of Wen, and their merits lie in the royal family, and the records of their honors are still hidden in the league mansion. The Jin Kingdom is ready to destroy the Kingdom of Yu, so what is there to pity the Kingdom of Yu? Besides, can Yu Guo be closer than Uncle Huan and Uncle Zhuang of Jin Kingdom? If they cherish Uncle Huan and Uncle Zhuang, what is the sin of these two families, but they are killed, isn't it because they feel threatened? People close to them threaten the public office because they are favored, and they are innocently killed, let alone to a country? Yu Gong said, "The sacrifices I sacrifice are abundant and clean, and the gods will surely bless me."

Gong Zhiqi replied: The subordinates heard that the ghosts and gods are not close to any person, but only follow the virtuous person, so the "Book of Zhou" says: Heaven has no personal relatives, only assists the virtuous person. He also said, "The sacrificial millet is not fragrant, but virtue is fragrant." He also said, "The people cannot change the sacrificial goods, but only virtue can serve as sacrificial objects." In this way, if it is not morality, the people will not know it, and the gods will not come to enjoy the sacrifices. The gods rely on virtue to rely on. If the Jin kingdom took possession of the Yu kingdom and promoted the virtues as a fragrant sacrifice to the gods, would the gods spit it out? Duke Yu did not listen and agreed to the request of the envoy of the Jin State. Gong Zhiqi led his people to run away, saying: Yu Guo can't pass this year's wax sacrifice. It was this time that the Jin Kingdom did not have to send troops again.

One day in August, Jin Xiangong surrounded Shangyang. Ask Bu Yan to say: Can I succeed? Bu Yan replied: It can be captured. Jin Xiangong said: When? Bu Yan replied: The nursery rhyme says that in the early morning of the day of Bingzi, the dragon tail star is illuminated by the sun; The military uniform is mighty and beautiful, and it seizes the banner of the kingdom of Qiu. Quail Mars is like a big bird, Tiance Star has no shine, Quail Mars is tidying up the army, and Yu Gong is about to escape. I'm afraid it's at the end of September and the beginning of October! In the early morning of the day of the second day, the sun is above the tail star, the moon is above the celestial star, and the quail and Mars are in the middle of the sun and the moon, which must be this time.

In winter, on the first day of the twelfth month, the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Kingdom of Yu. Yu Gongchou fled to the capital. The Jin army returned to China, lived in the state of Yu, and took the opportunity to attack the state of Yu and destroy it. The people of the Jin Kingdom captured Duke Yu and his doctor and uncle, and used him as Qin Muji's dowry attaché, but did not abandon the sacrifices of Yu State, and attributed the taxes of Yu State to King Zhou. Therefore, the "Spring and Autumn Period" records that "the Jin people are in charge of Yu Gong", which is blamed on Yu Guo, and it is said that things are too easy.

(6) Six years of the reign of the Emperor

In the spring of the sixth year, Jin Xiangong sent Jia Hua to lead an army to attack Qudi. Yiwu couldn't hold it, so he made an alliance with Quren and left. Prepare to flee to Di. He (xi) Rui said: Leaving after heavy ears and also fleeing to Di shows that you are guilty of complicity. It's better to go to Liang Country. Liang was close to Qin and trusted by it. So Yiwu went to the Liang country.

In the summer, the princes attacked Zheng because Zheng had escaped the first alliance. The army of the princes surrounded Xinmi, which is why Zheng built the city at a time when it was not suitable to break ground. In the autumn, King Cheng of Chu sent troops to surround Xu Guo to rescue Zheng Guo. The princes sent troops to rescue Xu, and the Chu army returned to China.

In winter, Cai Muhou led Xu Xigong to Wucheng to meet King Chu Cheng. Xu Nan tied his hands behind his back, holding Biyu in his mouth, the doctor was wearing filial piety clothes, and the soldier carried the coffin. King Chu Cheng asked Feng Bo. Feng Bo replied: In the past, King Wu defeated the Yin Dynasty, and Wei Ziqi did just that. King Wu himself untied him, accepted his jade and performed a ritual to sweep away the evil, burned his coffin, and ordered him to return to his place as a courtesy. King Chu Cheng accepted Feng Bo's suggestion.

(7) Seven years of his reign

In the spring of the seventh year, the Qi people attacked Zheng State. Uncle Kong said to Zheng Wengong: As the saying goes: If your mind is not strong, how can you be afraid of humiliation? Since you can't be tough and you can't be weak, there is only one way out. The country is in danger, please give in to the Qi country to save the country. Zheng Wengong said: I know why they came, so wait for me a while. Uncle Kong replied, "The situation is critical, and the morning cannot reach the evening, how can you wait for the king?"
