Chapter 10 [Someone Must Pick the Beam]
Brother and sister cheated - Qi Xianggong was in trouble
Zhou Tianzi has lost political control, but no matter whether there are tigers in the mountains or not, there must always be an animal called the king, and the king is order. There can't be no order in the mountains, otherwise it will really turn the sky upside down - this is the logic of the autocracy. Therefore, the Son of Heaven (parents) is no longer good, and the eldest (eldest son) will be in charge. The question of who is the boss is not determined by age or virtue, but by force, so the vassal states continue to expand their forces and armaments, and expand their territory in order to increase their national strength. The royal law that restricted the expansion of annexation in the past has become invalid, and the terrible army led by King Wu and Duke of Zhou has long been bubbled, and no one in the world cares, so mergers have become the trend of the 8th and 4th centuries BC.
Zheng Guo opened the valve of annexation, and at the beginning had the meaning of a little overlord, but the first country to dominate was Qi State, and Qi Huan Gong Qi Xiaobai or Lu Xiaobai first became the overlord, therefore, Sima Qian said, Qi Chu Qin Jin Shi Da. The first one is Qi, and the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Five is Qi Huangong.
Xiaobai is not the legal heir of Qi State. The monarch of Qi was his elder brother Qi Xianggong.
The state of Qi was established by Jiang Taigong Lu Shang, and the Zhou royal family gave Qi land to Taigong, which was passed on to Qi Zhuang Gong through twelve generations. Zhuang Gong reigned for 64 years, and then Duke Zhuang ruled for 33 years, and the father and son ruled for nearly 100 years. During this period, the political situation of Qi is relatively stable, and if the political situation is stable, the national strength will rise, and the national strength will rise. Therefore, during the period of the Duke of Qi Zhuang and the Duke of Qi, the State of Qi had the meaning of a little overlord. After Xianggong succeeded to the throne, on the one hand, he made a big move. Zhengji, Zheng, Extinction, Pingyu. On the other hand, he was not idle in his personal private life, doing things that would seem dirty today.
History always has some legendary stories. The matter on Qi Xianggong's stall is a style problem, and many incidents are related to style problems. This one is no exception.
Generally speaking, the monarch does not have a problem with style, just as the emperor does not molest women and play hooligans. But Qi Xianggong did get into trouble because of his style, because as the monarch of Qi, he had an adulterous affair with the first lady of Lu. This kind of international scandal actually developed from a family scandal, and this Mrs. Lu Guo was originally Wen Jiang, the sister of Qi Xianggong. Before they became Duke Qi Xianggong and Duchess Lu Zhuang, they were already lovers. At the beginning, Duke Qi wanted to marry Wen Jiangxu to Zheng Guo's crown prince, but the prince was unwilling to be tempted. Later, this sister of Qi Xianggong married Lu Huangong of Lu State. Lu Huan Gong is the one mentioned above who was deceived by Gongzi and let Gongzi kill his brother Lu Yingong according to Gongzi's design.
Mrs. Lu Guo is called Wen Jiang. Wen Jiang must be very beautiful, and his sister Xuanjiang is also very beautiful, because she is beautiful, she was originally married to the prince of Wei Guo, but she was intercepted by Wei Xuangong (hu) and became the Duchess of Xuan. Leads to a long list of stories that follow. The same goes for Wen Jiang.
These two sisters were the stunners of their time.
Qi Xianggong and his sister Wen Jiang have incest, this is a family matter, maybe Qi has such traditions and customs. Later, Qi Huan Gong did the same, occupying a large number of his sisters, aunts and nephews. But Qi Huan Gong did not cause an international incident, because he did not let these aunts and nephews marry at all. And Qi Xianggong is different, his father married his affectionate and dear sister to Lu Huangong, the monarch of Lu State, and after becoming the first lady of Lu State, it is an international scandal for his sister to fornicate with him. Lu Huangong, the monarch of Lu Guoguo, didn't know his wife's hobbies, otherwise he wouldn't have taken his wife to visit Qi State, wouldn't this be an opportunity for his old lover to find a clandestine meeting. As a result, Duke Lu Huan and his wife Wen Jiang visited Qi State. Then the old lover met, the old love was rekindled, and the fight was hot, so it was impossible for Lu Huan Gong not to find out, so he ended the visit angrily and returned to China ahead of schedule.
Mrs. Lu didn't want to return to China, so she told her brother Qi Xianggong. Qi Xianggong invited Lu Huan Gong to a banquet, and then drunk Huan Gong, and sent a strong man Peng Sheng to carry Lu Huan Gong into the car. As soon as Hercules exerted his strength, Lu Huangong's ribs were broken. How could Lu Huan Gong stand the bear hug of Hercules, as a result, he was a living person when he was carried into the car, and the one who was carried out of the car was a dead person - Huan Gong was already dead when he was carried out of the car.
However, for the monarch, this is nothing. One is that someone is covering it up; The second is that there are people who are guilty. As long as the Qi State does not admit it, you Lu State can't do anything with the Qi State. What's more, this is the home field of Qi country.
Originally, Lu Zhuanggong went to Qi to develop friendly relations between the two countries and enhance the friendship between the two peoples, but as a result, the relationship between the two countries became to enhance the relationship between Xianggong and Wen Jiang, and the result of friendly exchanges was that Lu Huangong went to Qi alive and returned to Lu alive. Of course, the people of Lu State did not agree, and blamed Qi State for this and asked Qi State to give an explanation.
Qi must give an explanation, in this case, the strong man Peng Sheng who fell on the frieze can only be used as a scapegoat, and the scapegoat is about to be killed, as has always been. Qi Xianggong killed Peng Sheng to apologize to Lu for his sins.
As soon as Peng Sheng died, the affairs of Lu Guo seemed to be settled. And because Lu Zhuanggong is dead, the friendly relationship between him and his sister is one less important obstacle, but it has fulfilled this pair of lovers.
Of course, the people of Lu asked Wen Jiang to return to China immediately, but when Wen Jiang arrived at the border, he didn't leave, saying that this was neither Qi nor Lu, and she wanted to enjoy the peace here, which was actually convenient for her tryst with Xianggong. It seems to have turned out to be a good thing again.
But Xianggong still got into trouble. According to the concept of the Chinese, there must be retribution, not retribution, and the time is not right.
Hence the following story.
Guadai had a period of coup d'état with the court
One winter, in December, Xianggong went to Peiqiu (shell mound, in Boxing County, Shandong) to hunt. The ancients hunted in different times, and only in autumn and winter could they go into the mountains to hunt. In spring and summer, animals are thriving, and at this time, people cannot harm life, which reflects people's reverence for life.
In the winter of this year, Qi Xianggong was hunting and met a big pig. I don't know which attendant is troublesome, saying that this pig "is Peng Sheng", that is, Peng Sheng, who was killed as a scapegoat. Xianggong was furious, and when he died, he died, and turned into a big pig and came out to look for trouble, so he raised his bow and shot it with an arrow. When the big pig saw someone attacking it, he suddenly stood up like a human being, and not only stood up, but also screamed.
This must be a wild boar. Because hunting a domestic pig is not good to say. And the temper of wild boars is well known, the so-called one pig, two bears and three tigers, wild boars are very irritable and the most difficult to deal with. The boar doesn't run away again, it's attacked, or he kills you, or you kill it. The whole thing is dead. It's not like their pig brother Zhu Bajie at all, someone beats you, you won't run? How healthy it is to run!
The wild boar stood and screamed like this, which frightened Qi Xianggong, and he fell off the car, injured his foot, and fell off his shoes. That image must be embarrassing. What happened to the pig, the history books did not explain, but the matter of Qi Xianggong's feet and shoes was explained. Qi Xianggong's shoes were lost, the monarch didn't wear shoes, and his entourage had shoes to wear, how embarrassing was that?
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, as has always been. When he returned from the safari, Xianggong asked his attendant, a petty official named 茀 (fú, 拂): Where are the shoes? Ordered him to find the whereabouts of the shoes.
Where can I find my shoes?
Isn't this embarrassing, as a result, he had to be beaten, and Xianggong whipped him with a whip, and he was beaten to blood. This boss is so unreasonable, obviously it was his own mistake, but he blamed innocent people. The problem is that those who are loyal to him are blamed and whipped by him, but he does not know the people who want his life, and his life ends here.
I was beaten in vain and walked out of the palace, but I met a group of people with knives and guns who were about to enter the palace, what were they going to do? They want the life of their father.
It all started with an incident a year ago. This incident has made an idiom, called Guadai has a period.
Here's the thing, at the beginning, Xianggong sent ministers to call and manage to his father to be stationed in Kuiqiu (Dongming County, Shandong Province). Letting the two central ministers guard the border is of course not a good errand, so neither of them wants to go, but Xianggong ordered it, and it is not okay not to go, so they bargained with Qi Xianggong. At that time, Xianggong was eating melons, and in order to appease their emotions, Xianggong casually said that when the melons were ripe next year, he would send someone to replace them.
The two of them reluctantly went.
A year is actually really fast, but for Lian Cheng and Guan Zhi's father, it may not be, they count the months and days, one day, two days, three days ......, dear Guagua, you are ripe quickly, and let the two ministers go home quickly.
Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, seeing that the melons are ripe again, the two ministers are happy, not only can they eat the melons, but more importantly, they can go home. The melons are ripe, and it is really a good season. It should be noted that this melon is not a watermelon, because at that time, watermelon had not yet reached the Central Plains.
The melons are unexpectedly ripe, but the people who replace them are unexpectedly always not coming.
The two of them looked forward to it, and finally couldn't hold it back, and found someone to remind Xianggong that there are still two people here waiting for a replacement, don't forget it.
Xianggong was unhappy. This makes it my business who guards the side, and it is not your turn to worry about it, and this angry matter of finding someone to replace it is gone.
The two ministers never dreamed that they would be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, so why didn't they discuss it, and it would become indefinite if they said hello. The two of them were very angry, and the consequences were very serious - if you don't find someone to replace us, we will find someone to replace you, anyway, at that time, it was more difficult to kill a monarch than to cut a cabbage.
And at this time, there happened to be a person who missed being the king very much.

This person is Qi Xianggong's cousin, named Ignorance. Ignorance is the nephew of Duke Qi and the grandson of Duke Qi Zhuang. After Duke Qi succeeded to the throne, he was no longer qualified to succeed to the throne. Because he is not a descendant. However, Duke Qi doted on him very much and gave him very high treatment. After Qi Xianggong succeeded to the throne, he was not very interested in this cousin, and reduced a lot of his treatment, he was very dissatisfied, from dissatisfaction to resentment, from resentment to conspiracy, he wanted to kill Xianggong and replace him.
He wanted to kill Qi Xianggong, and these two ministers also wanted to kill Qi Xianggong. The same purpose unites the three.
If you want to kill Qi Xianggong, you must first step on the point, grasp Qi Xianggong's daily life, and then look for loopholes to carry out crimes. And to understand Qi Xianggong's actions, you must find the people around him, especially the women around him. There is no woman next to Qi Xianggong who knows Qi Xianggong's life better.
It just so happened that Lian said that there was a cousin in Xianggong Palace, although he was by Qi Xianggong's side, he was not pampered. Everyone has entered your inner palace, but you don't enter other people's inner palace, and this cousin is having a stomach full of resentment, and this resentment is just being used by these three people. They bought her. Let Lian Cheng's sister serve Xianggong on the condition that "after the matter is completed, let her be a wife to ignorance." "After the matter is completed, ignorance is the monarch of Qi State, to be an ignorant lady, is the first lady of the country, this bargaining chip is absolutely tempting, so this cousin of Lian Cheng is very attentive, when Qi Xianggong returned from hunting, his leg was injured, and he was unable to move, she promptly notified Ignorance, Lian Cheng, Guan Zhi's father and others.
Hearing that Xianggong was injured, the three of them led the disciples to attack Xianggong Palace. is meeting Fu who was beaten out of the palace by Qi Xianggong.
As soon as he was beaten, he heard that someone was going to kill Qi Xianggong, and he was so frightened that he might forget the pain. He was loyal to the monarch and a royalist, so he said to these killers: "Don't go in first, lest you alarm the palace, and after you alarm the palace, it will not be easy to attack again." Why don't you let me inquire about the news first."
Ignorance didn't believe what he said, and was even more worried that he would return to the palace to report the news, but Fu had just been beaten, and the wounds on his body were fresh, and he used the scars on his body to prove that he would not do this, so the ignorants believed Fu and let Fu go first, and they waited outside the palace.
After entering the palace, he immediately notified Xianggong. It happened suddenly, Xianggong was not able to organize effective resistance at all, his army was not present, they only organized the people in the palace to prepare to fight with the people outside the door. In order to ensure the safety of Xianggong, they let Xianggong hide behind the door of the house. At the same time, he also temporarily found a stand-in to pretend to be Xianggong.
They arranged here, ignorance and others were in a hurry outside, how could this shoe official not have any news after entering, ignorance felt bad, so he led people into the palace.
When he entered the palace, he encountered a counterattack from the people in the palace led by Fu and the close ministers of Xianggong. But these people were no match for the strong men at all, and they were all killed. checked the results, but could not find Xianggong. Although there was a person who was killed in Xianggong's bed, they knew Xianggong, and it was not Qi Xianggong at all. So they sent someone to search for it. As a result, someone saw a pair of feet exposed under the door of the house, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Qi Xianggong who was hiding behind the door. Qi Xianggong must not be able to play peek-a-boo, how can he hide behind the door? It's too insulting to the intelligence of the ignorant.
Qi Xianggong was killed like this, and went to find his karma.

Ignorance and self-reliance as Qi Jun. The year was 686 BC.
Ignorance became the king as he wished, but I don't know if he knew that the king was a high-risk profession, and it was even more dangerous for him to succeed by killing the previous king. So, just a year later, Ignorance was killed without panic. This year, ignorance went to Yonglin to play. Some people in Yonglin resented ignorance, attacked and killed ignorance, and then announced to the doctor of Qi: "Ignorance kills Xianggong and establishes himself as the king, the crime is unforgivable, and I have put him to death." Please ask the doctors to appoint other sons to the throne, and we will listen to our orders. The country of Qi was leaderless for a while.
At that time, people still abided by the rules of the game, and only the descendants of Jiang Taigong - more precisely, the relatives of the previous generation of monarchs were qualified to be monarchs, so the two younger brothers of Qi Xianggong, Lu Xiaobai and Lu Jiu, became candidates.
But the two sons, one was in Lu at the time and the other was in Ju at that time, and they were not in the country.
At this juncture, why aren't these two sons in the country?
They deliberately hid outside the country in order to avoid this kind of tearing up at home.
There's a reason for that, of course.
When Duke Qi Xianggong killed Duke Lu Huan, the two sons were already in exile.
Gongzi has a strategist named Guan Zhong. Qi Xianggong's brother and sister cheated and killed Lu Huangong, in Guan Zhong's opinion, Qi Guo had a big deal, a big deal, he foresaw that the country was going to be in chaos, so he took his boss and son to avoid this place of right and wrong - escaped. Jie's mother was the daughter of Lu State, and the safest place was nothing more than her uncle's house, so she fled to Lu State. When Guan Zhong fled with the correction, he also reminded his good friend Bao Shuya. This Uncle Bao is another Gongzi Xiaobai's advisor, Guan Zhong is concerned about the safety of the iron buddy Bao Shuya, so he reminded Bao Shuya to flee quickly with Gongzi Xiaobai. lest they be drawn to the water. Uncle Bao listened to Guan Zhong, so he also left Qi Country with his boss Xiaobai.
This son, Xiaobai, is the later Duke of Qi Huan. Qi Huangong's mother is a patriot and was once very favored by Duke Qi. Weiguo is a little far away from Qi State, so Xiaobai and they did not return to their uncle's house to defend the country, but fled to Ju State (now Ju County, Shandong) with the assistance of Uncle Bao. Xiaobai has been friends with the doctor Gao Wei (xī, Xi) since he was a child. Gao Wei has always stayed in the Qi State. After the Yonglin people killed the ignorant, the ministers discussed the matter of establishing a monarch, and the Gao family and the Guo clan took the lead in secretly recalling Xiaobai from the Ju country. After Xiaobai got the news, he quickly rushed to Qi State.
At this time, another team was also hurrying towards the Qi country. When Lu Guo heard that the monarch of Qi was killed, he also wanted his nephew to take over the throne, so he sent someone to escort his son Jiang Jie back to Qi with the power of Lu State.
In this way, it is more accurate to start a marathon race or a gamble between Xiaobai and his brothers, because the rewards and punishments are huge, the first to be the king, the last to be the minister, and even the life is not guaranteed. The successful outcome is very tempting, while the unsuccessful outcome is very brutal.
The result?
