Chapter 279: Duke Wen moves the capital

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Lu Wengong, in order to eliminate the negative impact of the Western beggar envoy to Lu on the relations between Lu and Jin, Lu Wengong took Ji Sun Xingfu (Ji Wenzi) to Jin to meet Jin Linggong.

Jin Linggong was only eight years old at the time, he was just a signboard, and he couldn't handle state affairs independently, and Zhao Dun was in charge of all affairs. Lu Wengong's actions achieved very good results. The visit ended successfully as scheduled, and Lu Wengong met Wei Chenggong on the way back, and Wei Chenggong went to the Jin Kingdom for the same purpose.

It turned out that Wei Chenggong should have gone to the Jin Kingdom to meet him a long time ago, but the Battle of Hequ broke out between Qin and Jin. He planned to wait for the two countries to divide the victory and defeat before deciding on the policy towards Jin. After the victory of the Jin State, Wei Chenggong dragged his feet, and he only delayed today to make up for the relationship with the Jin State, and the Jin people thought that it was too late for Wei Ren to come now.

Wei Chenggong was afraid of being reprimanded by the Jin people, so he had to ask Lu Wengong to mediate. Lu Wengong returned to the Jin Kingdom with his entrustment and conveyed Wei Chenggong's sincerity to Zhao Dun. The diplomatic strategy of the Jin people was very simple, as long as it was beneficial to the Jin State or harmful to the enemy country, they would do it all. Zhao Dun told Lu Wengong that the Jin State was planning to hold a princes' meeting in Xincheng next year, and the Jin State could invite the Marquis of Wei to participate.

Lu Wengong completed the entrustment and embarked on the return journey, but the team was intercepted by Zheng Mugong when they passed through Zheng Guo.

It turned out that King Chu Mu was terminally ill at this time. According to the general conjecture, once the king of Chu died, the Jin people would pounce on Zheng Guo with their teeth and claws. In order to ensure national security, Zheng Mugong also intends to ask Lu Wengong to mediate on his behalf.

However, Zheng Mugong did not directly make a request. Zheng Mugong's official son Guisheng gave Ji Wenzi a poem "Hong Yan" at the banquet: "The wild goose is flying, and its feathers are suppressed." The son of Yu Zheng is in the wilderness. He used this poem to euphemistically express Zheng Mugong's wishes.

Ji Wenzi heard Zheng Ren's words and excused himself: "The widow is not exempt from this. Then he gave a poem "April": "April Weixia, June signing." Ancestor bandits, Junin forbearance? "It means that Lu Hou has gone back and forth to the Jin Kingdom twice, and he is already very tired, so he asks Zheng Ren to let Lu Wengong go.

But the Zijia persevered, and gave the fourth chapter of "Carriage", "I go in the wilderness, and I can grow my wheat." Controlled by the big state, who is the cause of whom? He compared Lu Guo to Qi Guo and Zheng Guo to Wei Guo, and hoped that Lu Wengong would save Zheng Guo like Qi Huan Gong saved Wei back then.

Zheng Guoren put such a high hat on Lu Wengong's head, and it was inconvenient for Lu people to take it off. Ji Wenzi then gave the fourth chapter of "Cai Wei": "Rong car is driving, and the four peony industries are in business." How dare you settle down? Three victories in January. He agreed to accept the entrustment of Zheng Ren.

Lu Wengong returned to the Jin Kingdom again to seek the understanding of the Jin people for the Zheng people. Zhao Dun saw that Lu Wengong was running around several times for the affairs of the princes, and he was very unbearable, so he accepted any request he made.

The state of Yi was a very powerful state among the princes of Dongyi. In the year of his reign, Duke Wen wanted to move the capital to Yi, and he summoned the diviner and asked him to do divination for the good luck and evil of the capital. After seeing the results, the official said: "Moving the capital is good for the people but not good for the king. ”

Considering his advanced age (he had been in power for fifty-one years), he felt that even if he died, it would not be a big deal, and he said, "No. What is good for the people must be good for the monarch. Heaven gave birth to the people and set up a monarch for the benefit of the people; Why can't I benefit from the benefits of the people? ”

Both left and right persuaded him: "If you can live a long life, why don't you continue to enjoy life?" ”

"My mission is to support the people, and the length of life is only a matter of time. If it's good for the people, then move the capital! This is the most auspicious thing! ”

Soon after, the capital was moved to Yi, but Duke Wen also fell ill due to overwork and died that year.

Lu Wengong sent a messenger to offer condolences. When the envoy was saluting the coffin of the deceased, he suddenly remembered a little joke and laughed out loud on the spot. The whole of the people turned their heads and glared at him, but in order to make the funeral go smoothly, the people did not take punitive measures against him.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Duke Lu Wen (BC613), after Duke Wen was buried, Duke Ding sent an army to take out a border town of Lu State. Soon after, Shu Zhong Huibo led the Lu army to destroy two cities in the state of Yi.

Duke Wen's wife Qi Jiang gave birth to Duke Di Ding, and the second concubine Jin Ji gave birth to her son, Jie Jiang. After the death of Duke Wen, the Duke of Yi was established; Jie Jiang staged a coup d'Γ©tat, but the operation failed, and he fled to the Jin Kingdom.

When Jie saw Zhao Dun, he told him what happened to him, and lied that he was the legitimate heir of Duke Wen; And the people of Qi were secretly instructed by the people of Qi to take the throne from their hands and hand it over to the Duke of Qi.

In fact, the Jin people have forgotten that there is another princess in their country who married into the country of Yi, and Zhao Dun can't help but wonder about the rebirth of this old man who is older than himself. In order to verify Jie Xuan's identity, Zhao Dun specially went to visit Guo Yan, who was sick in bed and couldn't get up. Guo Yan asked the servant to bring a few scrolls from the place he designated, and then opened them to search carefully, and finally determined Jie Xuan's true identity.

Zhao Dun found out Jie Heng's identity, and credulously believed the other party's lies, coupled with the chauvinism of the Jin State in his heart, he decided to use force to support Jie Hui's reinstatement.

In June, the monarchs of the seven kingdoms of Lu, Wei, Chen, Zheng, Song, Cao, and Xu and Jin Zhao Dun held a general meeting of princes in Xincheng. The Chen people did not attend the meeting because they were afraid of the Chu state, and the Qi people were absent from the meeting due to the great funeral in the office.

After the princes made an alliance with blood, Zhao Dun announced that he would send Jie Su back to the state by force, and asked the princes to send troops to help. The princes knew the inside story of the rivalry between the brothers of the Duke of Yi, but they didn't know the inside story of Jie Heng's lie to Zhao Dun, thinking that the Jin people knew the inside story; Therefore, the liehous did not raise any objections, but they all felt that the Jin people were becoming more and more domineering.

In August, Zhao Dun led the armies and chariots of the nations to surround the capital. The people argued: "Qi Jiang is the Duchess of Wen, and her son is the eldest and eldest, and should inherit the throne." ”

Zhao Dun knew that he had been deceived by Jiejing, and he scolded Jiejiang in his heart for being treacherous and shameless, and scolded himself for being stupid. But he didn't show a strange look on his face, he just nodded thoughtfully and said, "What the people said makes sense!" There is a good reason but it is not accepted, but it is ominous. After saying that, he gave the order to withdraw the troops.

This year was a veritable murderous year, with four famous figures dying in the year; They are King Qing of Zhou, Duke Zhao of Qi, King Mu of Chu, and Gongsun Ao.
