In 517 BC, in the twenty-fifth year of Lu Zhaogong, Ji Pingzi and Lu Zhaobo fought cocks.

Ji Pingzi put armor on the chicken, and Yu Zhaobo put metal claws on the chicken.

Ji Pingzi violated Yu Zhaobo out of anger, and Yu Zhaobo was also angry with Ji Pingzi.

Zang Zhaobo's younger brother would slander Zang with deception and hide in Ji's house, where Zang Zhaobo imprisoned Ji's family. Ji Pingzi was furious and imprisoned the ministers of the Zang family.

The Zang family and the Yun family announced the difficulty to Lu Zhao.

In September of the same year, Lu Zhaogong attacked the Ji family and entered the Ji family.

Ji Pingzi took the stage and pleaded: "The monarch will punish me for listening to slander and not understanding the sins of his subordinates, please allow me to move to the edge of Yishui." ”

Lu Zhaogong did not allow it.

Ji Pingzi asked to be imprisoned in Yanyi, but Lu Zhaogong did not allow it. Ji Pingzi asked to flee with five cars, but Lu Zhaogong still did not allow it.

The minister Zijiaju said to Lu Zhaogong: "The monarch should allow him!" It has been a long time since the decree came out of the Ji clan, and they have a large number of followers and will conspire against us. ”

Lu Zhaogong didn't listen.

Yu Zhaobo begged: You must kill Ji Pingzi.

The retainer of the Shusun clan said to his disciples, "Without the Ji clan and with the Ji clan, which situation is beneficial to us?" ”

The disciples all said: "If there is no Ji clan, there is no uncle and grandson clan." ”

He decided to rescue the Ji clan and defeated Lu Zhaogong's army.

When Meng Yizi heard that his uncle and grandson had won, he also wanted to kill Yu Zhaobo.

As Lu Zhaogong's envoy, he went to Meng's family, and Meng's family captured him. The three families jointly attacked Lu Zhaogong, and Lu Zhaogong fled.

When Lu Zhaogong was defeated and fled to Qi State, Qi Jinggong personally led his troops to condole, and promised to give Lu Zhaogong 25,000 households and land on the spot for support.

Qi Jinggong believed: Since the State of Lu has not established a new monarch, Duke Lu Zhaogong is still the monarch of the State of Lu. The State of Qi interacted with him as the State of Lu. If an army is sent to invade the Lu country, it will be a rebellion on behalf of the Lu monarch, which can make the Qi country win.

Qi Jinggong took advantage of the placement of Lu Zhaogong and reaped great benefits. Therefore, it won the praise and trust of the princes, and increased the weight of the Qi State to compete for hegemony.

Although Qi Jinggong wanted to deal with the internal affairs of the Lu State according to the specifications of the overlord, he was intimidated by the authority of the Jin State, especially the authority of the Fan family, so he could only place Lu Hou, but could not help Lu Zhaogong restore the country, which was also the gap between the quasi-overlord and the overlord.

Therefore! Qi Jinggong secretly determined that he must narrow the gap with the Jin Kingdom.

When Lu Zhaogong was defeated and fled to Qi State, Qi Jinggong personally led his troops to condole, and promised to give Lu Zhaogong 25,000 households and land on the spot for support.

Qi Jinggong said: "Please let me send 25,000 households and wait for the king's order." ”

Zi Jiaju said: "Is it okay to abandon the foundation of Duke Zhou and become a subordinate of the Qi State?" ”

Lu Zhaogong originally wanted to accept it, but after hearing this, he had to give up.

Zi Jiaju said again: "Qi Jinggong is not trustworthy, it is better to go to the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible." ”

Lu Zhaogong did not listen.

After Lu Zhaogong fled, Lu Guo's uncle and grandson came to Qi to see Lu Zhaogong. After returning to China, I went to see Ji Pingzi. Ji Pingzi nodded and agreed, and also wanted to welcome back Lu Zhaogong. I think Lu Zhaogong should be sensible after such a toss. But later Meng Sun and Ji repented. Thereupon! Ji Pingzi had no choice but to give up.

When Lu Zhaogong fled to the Qi Kingdom, Qi Jinggong asked him, "Why did you lose your country so early at such a young age?" Why has it come to this point? ”

Lu Zhaogong replied: "When I was young, there were many people who loved me, but I couldn't get close to them myself; There are many people who have advised me, but I have not taken their advice. So there aren't many people to help me. There is no one who assists me, but there are many who flatter me. This is like the fluffy grass in autumn, the roots are lonely, but the branches and leaves are very prosperous, and when autumn comes, the roots will be laid down. ”

Qi Jinggong thought that his words were very good, so he told them to Yan Zi, saying, "If this man is allowed to return to his country, won't he become a monarch like the ancient sage monarchs?" ”

Yan Zi replied, "Don't be like this, foolish people always regret it, and unvirtuous people always think they are virtuous." People who are flooded don't ask for directions to wade through the water, and people who are disoriented don't ask about the way. Asking for the route of wading through the water after being flooded, and inquiring about the road after losing your way is like hurrying to forge weapons when faced with the calamity of foreign invasion, and hurrying to dig a well after choking on food, even if it is too soon, it is too late. ”

In 516 BC, in the spring of the twenty-sixth year of Lu Zhaogong, the Qi State attacked the Lu State and seized the Yunyi of the Lu State and let Lu Zhaogong live there.

In the summer of the same year, Duke Qi Jing was about to escort Duke Lu Zhao back to Lu and ordered his courtiers not to accept bribes from the Lu people.

Lu State Doctor Shen Feng and Ru Jia promised to give Qi State Doctor Gao Yu and Zijiang 80,000 buckets of corn.

The son general said to Qi Jinggong: "The ministers can't serve Lu Jun, it's weird. Song Yuangong went to the Jin Kingdom for Lu Zhaogong to ask for help, and asked to escort Lu Jun back to China, but died on the way. Uncle Sun Zhaozi asked to escort Lu Jun back to China, and died without illness. I don't know if God wants to abandon Lu Jun? Or did Lu Jun offend the ghosts and gods? I hope the monarch will wait. ”

Qi Jinggong listened to his words and did not dare to escort Lu Zhaogong back to China, fearing fulfillment and retribution.

In 514 BC, in the twenty-eighth year of Lu Zhaogong, Lu Zhaogong went to the Jin State and asked the Jin State to escort him back to China. Ji Pingzi bribed the six secretaries of the Jin state, and the six secretaries accepted Ji's bribes to dissuade the Jin Qinggong. The Duke of Jin gave up and let Lu Zhaogong live in the Qianhou of the Jin State.

In 513 BC, in the twenty-ninth year of Lu Zhaogong, Lu Zhaogong went to Yunyi. Qi Jinggong sent someone to send a letter to Lu Zhaogong, in which he called "the sovereign". At that time, the doctor was called "Lord", and Qi Jinggong compared Lu Zhaogong to a doctor, so he was called "Lord". Lu Zhaogong felt ashamed, and angrily left the Qi State and went to the Qianhou of the Jin State.

In 511 BC, in the thirty-first year of Lu Zhaogong, the Jin State wanted to escort Zhaogong back to China and summon Ji Pingzi. Ji Pingzi walked barefoot in rags and apologized to Jin Jun through Liuqing. Liuqing explained to Ji Pingzi: "The Jin Kingdom wants to escort Lu Zhaogong back to China, but Lu Zhaogong's entourage is unwilling. "The Jin people gave up.

In 510 BC, in December of the 32nd year of Lu Zhaogong, Lu Zhaogong fell ill. In December, Lu Zhaogong died in Qianhou at the age of 51. The people of Lu established Song Song, the younger brother of Lu Zhaogong, as the monarch of the country, and it was for Lu Dinggong.

Ji Pingzi and others were forced by external pressure, and they did not establish a monarch before Lu Zhaogong's death, which was already very rare. It can also be seen that the national strength of Lu State at that time was so small that it did not dare to do things too much. It can be regarded as giving Lu Zhaogong the face of a king, and he will not set up a new monarch until he dies.

Reputedly! After Lu Zhaogong died, Ji Pingzi and others did not let him go, and did not bury him in the right place of the ancestral tomb, but only buried him next to the ancestral tomb. Visible! How much does Ji Pingzi and others hate Lu Zhaogong?

After Lu Zhaogong fled, Confucius lost his backer in Lu. Without a backer, it would be difficult for Confucius to protect himself, let alone participate in politics.

Fang Jishi has been hiding in the state of Chu and assassinating the prince Ji Dynasty. After he learned that Lu Zhaogong had fled, it was difficult to recover, and he could not do anything. Furthermore! His son Fang Zhong has a marriage contract with Ji Pingzi's granddaughter, and it is not good to turn his face on this matter.

Blame Lu Zhaogong himself, he insists on going his own way, and he must go against Sanhuan and subdue Sanhuan. If he preserves his strength and maneuvers skillfully, there is no possibility of escape. At that time, his military strength, with the help of Fang Jishi, had surpassed any of the three Huan. If he goes it alone, he is not afraid of anyone.

It's a pity! He didn't do that! He just wants to gamble: the winner is king, and the loser is the loser.
