There was originally a country in Hexi called Liang State. In the tenth year of the reign of Lu Xu, Qin Mugong destroyed Liang and divided Liang into a county of Qin. In the tenth year of Lu Wengong, the Jin army attacked Qin and took Liangcheng from the Qin people.

To the east of Liangcheng, near the Yellow River, there is a hill called "Liangshan". In the summer of the fifth year of Lu Chenggong (BC586), a large-scale collapse occurred in Liangshan due to heavy rains.

The mountain near the Yellow River suddenly turned into countless fragments of various sizes, the large ones like houses and the small ones like fists. The debris flow swept into the Yellow River with huge amounts of smoke and dust, blocking half of the river's channel and causing the water level to rise sharply in the east of the river. The river rushed across its banks and poured into villages and towns, destroying countless houses, flooding thousands of acres of fertile land, washing away cattle, sheep and trees, and taking many lives.

Rumors spread throughout the capital for a while, and people said that the collapse of Liangshan was a sign of bad omen such as "the dynasty is about to change", "the great power is about to fall", and "the prince will suffer misfortunes". In a huge, populous city, no matter how bizarre rumors may be, it is not surprising.

Jin Jinggong was disturbed by all kinds of rumors, and he sent someone to summon Liang Dafu Bozong back, hoping to get the true situation. At that time, Pak Zong was organizing manpower to haul away the rocks and dredge and clean the river. He didn't know the reason for the recall, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

On his way to the capital, he encountered a heavy truck loaded with goods and moving slowly, and he asked Mide not to overtake it. The driver of the heavy car said: "The heavy car is big and slow, and the adults are waiting for me, so it is better to choose another shortcut." Bozong asked him where he was from, and the coachman replied that he was a man.

Bozong asked about what happened in Jiangduli, and the coachman said: "The Liangshan collapsed, rumors spread in the country, and people were uneasy. The prince wanted to summon Bozong back to ask the reason. ”

Bethzon asked, "If you are Bethzon, how should you answer it?" ”

The coachman said: "The mountains in the world are formed by soil, rocks, grass and trees, and the heavy rain for several days has caused the soil on the mountains to decay, so it has caused landslides. How else can you answer? Mountains and rivers are the foundation of the country, so when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the princes should stop feasting and drinking, change into plain clothes, remove drum music, go out of the house, and actively relieve disasters. How could even Bozong answer? ”

Bozong said: "It is really condescending to drive a car with your knowledge, and I will take you to meet the prince so that you will have the opportunity to display your talents." ”

The coachman said, "I'm a little man, I can only pull the cart." Although the office is rich, it is full of sinister; If you are not careful, you may lose your life. It's not a place where little people like us can live. ”

After Bozong entered the palace, he repeated the coachman's original words to Jin Jinggong; Jin Jinggong made a series of actions according to Bozong's words, and the rumors slowly subsided, and the evil consequences caused by the natural disaster were not very serious.

After the end of the Chu-Song War (the fifteenth year of Lu Xuangong), Hua Yuan came to Chu as a hostage according to the agreement. Hua Yuan's identity is ostensibly a hostage, but in fact he still enjoys the treatment in the Song Kingdom. At banquets held by the royal family, Hua Yuan was listed as a distinguished guest; The minister and doctor also often went in and out of Hua Yuan's residence and communicated with him.

The state of Chu is a huge "probation center", and the Chu people use the means of "probation" to change the minds of the hostages, and then affect the political situation of other countries.

After Song Huayuan served as a hostage in the Chu State for several years, he had completely abandoned his prejudice against the Chu people and established a deep personal relationship with the powerful ministers. The Chu people saw that their goal had been achieved, and it would be a waste of wealth to keep him any longer, so they proposed to the Song State to change the hostages (change one person for probation); Song Wengong exchanged Gongzi Wai Turtle (Zi Ling) for Hua Yuan.

Ziling is the brother of Song Wengong, who is already a lot old but has achieved nothing. He wanted to accumulate some political capital for himself, so he took the initiative to ask Song Wengong for help. However, Ziling was not treated so well by Hua Yuan: first, because his status was too low and he had no influence; The second is because he has no real talent, but he likes to talk about it, and he is particularly focused on self-boasting.

After a few contacts with him, the Chu people recognized his true colors, and then they disdained to continue to associate with him. Ziling did not get the expected benefits in the Chu State, and he also lost a huge opportunity in the Song State. It turned out that Song Wengong promised him that he would be given the status of secretary in the future. But his stupidity in the state of Chu made both sides stop paying attention to him.

The last interaction between the Chu people and Ziling was at the time of the death of Duke Wen of Song. At that time, Ziling put on mourning clothes and set up a small mourning hall in his residence.

The two had a good conversation, but Zi Ling's mind suddenly short-circuited, and he said with emotion: "If I hadn't helped Xianjun assassinate Zhaogong back then, he wouldn't have been able to be the monarch!" ”

Pan Yu jumped up with her ears plugged and said, "This is not something I dare to hear!" Then he turned and fled.

Zi Ling said to herself, "I thought you liked to listen to it!" Didn't your father (Pan Chong) tell you how he killed King Cheng? ”

In the summer of this year, Ziling returned to the Song Kingdom after the expiration of the pledge period, and the Song Gonggong hosted a lukewarm banquet to entertain him. During the banquet, he mentioned Song Wengong's promise to him, hoping that Song Gonggong could fulfill the promise of the ancestors. Song Gonggong was very annoyed, so he replied: "The widow will verify this matter with Zuo Shi." Zi Ling was also very depressed in her heart, and couldn't help but complain, and the banquet soon broke up.

Soon, Hua Yuan hosted a banquet to entertain Zi Ling in order to dispel his bad mood. But the sorrow is more dispelled by wine, and the sorrowful wine makes a man drunk faster. Zi Ling soon entered a state of confusion, he unconsciously shook his head, rolled his eyelids and looked at the fat man with a happy face in front of him.

He suddenly had a feeling of visual and auditory hallucinations, as if he heard Hua Yuan gloating and saying, "You are a loser, don't think about any more thrones!" ”

Zi Ling was furious, and slurred his words and asked his entourage to carry him away. Instead of going home, he broke into the palace directly. Song Gonggong was entertaining the guests of Chu at that time, Zi Ling asked two attendants to carry a war drum, he beat the war drum and shouted to break into the room, and then beat the drum and shouted and rushed out, and the guards couldn't stop it.

Song Gonggong's face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot, and he sharply asked what Ziling meant. Zi Ling said, "I'm going to practice attacking Fahrenheit!" The faces of the guests of the Chu State instantly darkened. Song Gonggong was furious and immediately ordered him to be beheaded on charges of "treason".

In the winter of that year, the princes held a general meeting in the worm prison to welcome Zheng Guo back into the Huaxia Alliance. The princes planned to hold the next alliance meeting, and the envoy of the Song State said to the people: "The widow is unable to make the trip because of the difficulty of the prince surrounding the turtle that has just occurred. ”

In November, King Zhou Ding died, and King Zhou Jian ascended the throne.
