Huangquan sees his mother

Childe Duan committed suicide. Zheng Zhuanggong's heart is both sweet and bitter, and the sweet thing is that the threat is finally lifted, and he can concentrate on handling national affairs. Bitterly, my brother died. No matter how much Gongzi Duan is, he is always flesh and blood, and blood is thicker than water!

Zheng Zhuanggong hugged Gongzi Duan's body and cried. Whether it's really sad or a show, in short, Zheng Zhuanggong is crying. Crying, crying, Zheng Zhuanggong felt that something was wrong! If Gongzi Duan succeeded, would he be lying motionless on the ground now, would it be himself? The more Zheng Zhuanggong thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he thought: It's all caused by the Jiang family, provoking his brother to kill.

Zheng Zhuanggong was furious, called the genius sacrificial foot, and asked the sacrificial foot to take the letter of Jiang's rebellion with Gongzi Duan to see Jiang's family, and said the famous saying: If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will not see each other! Translated into the vernacular, it is: the relationship between mother and son has been broken, and when you are alive, you should not see each other again. Let's talk about it after we die.

The priest was very efficient, and Jiang read the letter and knew that Gongzi Duan was dead, so he was both sad and ashamed. also moved away from Xinzheng.

There is no record in the historical materials: what did Zheng Zhuang Gong do when Jiang was moved out of the capital and lived in Yingdi. But the author thinks that Zheng Zhuang's relocation to his mother is not a simple breath, but a deep-seated reason: purging dissidents! On the one hand, in Jiang's absence, Zheng Zhuanggong can let go of his hands and feet to deal with dissidents; On the other hand, the way Zheng Zhuanggong dealt with the Jiang family can also send a warning to the ministers: Those who dare to go against me (Zheng Zhuanggong) will not end well.

However, Zheng Zhuanggong's doing so left a political risk. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, virtuous ministers and celebrities attached great importance to loyalty and filial piety, and Zheng Zhuanggong's practice was a very unfilial behavior, which would disappoint virtuous ministers and celebrities, and would also lose people's hearts.

Uncle Ying, the mayor of "Ying", discovered this political risk and took advantage of this political risk to direct a good show of Huangquan meeting his mother. It not only achieved the wisdom of Zheng Zhuanggong, but also the merits of Uncle Yingkao.

Uncle Ying Kao made up his mind to help Zheng Zhuanggong make up for this risk. After thinking about it carefully, Uncle Ying Kao took a lot of effort to catch a few owls and came to see Zheng Zhuanggong.

Zheng Zhuanggong paid great attention to Corporal Lixian, and was very happy to see Uncle Ying Kao coming. Besides, Uncle Ying Kao also prepared a small gift: an unknown bird (Zheng Zhuanggong didn't know)! Zheng Zhuanggong was happy and entertained Uncle Yingkao for dinner. Grilled owl first. When Zheng Zhuanggong tasted it, the taste was not good, so he asked: What kind of bird is this?

Uncle Yingkao's classic dialogue is here: This is an owl. This bird can't see Tarzan during the day, but it can see at night. Small things can be seen clearly, but big truths are not understood (clear in detail and dark in big). When the bird grows up, it eats its mother. It's an unfilial bird, so I caught it and ate it.

Analyze what Uncle Ying Kao said. Uncle Ying Kao used an owl as a metaphor for Zheng Zhuanggong, saying that Zheng Zhuanggong can see the small things clearly, but he doesn't understand the big truth! The little thing is naturally that Zheng Zhuang Gong has extraordinary means, defeated Gongzi Duan, and sat firmly on the princes, what is the big reason? The great truth is that "when it is long, it pecks at its mother". It is impossible for a prince who is not filial to gain a political advantage and win the hearts and minds of the people. That's the big idea.

Zheng Zhuanggong was so smart, he found the problem at once, and his brain was still spinning, so he didn't speak.

At this time, another steamed sheep was served. Zheng Zhuanggong asked people to reward Uncle Ying Kao to eat.

Uncle Ying Kao cut off the good meat, packed it up, and ate the poor food himself.

Zheng Zhuanggong was very surprised, so he asked: What are you doing here?

Uncle Ying Kao didn't understand Zheng Zhuanggong's style, and when Zheng Zhuanggong made up his mind, he was mostly silent. You can refer to the time when Feng Gongzi Duan "Jing".

Uncle Ying Kao thought that Zheng Zhuanggong hadn't understood yet, and then told the story: My family is poor and has never eaten delicious food. My lord's roast lamb tasted good, so I kept this and went back to my mother to eat. Satisfy hunger and fulfill filial piety.

Zheng Zhuanggong had already made up his mind to take back the Jiang family, so he said: You are a filial son.

Uncle Ying Kao discussed with Zheng Zhuanggong about the issue of filial piety, and Zheng Zhuanggong told him about his mother. In the end, Zheng Zhuanggong said: I have sworn that I will not see my mother until Huangquan, what do you say?

It is certain that before this sentence, Zheng Zhuanggong knew that Uncle Ying Kao must have a way. Otherwise, Zheng Zhuanggong will not be called a traitor.

Uncle Ying Kao offered the plan of "Huangquan to see his mother". To put it bluntly, it's simple. Uncle Ying Kao replaced it with a concept, saying that the underground (the extended meaning of Huangquan) is the underground spring (the literal meaning of Huangquan).

As soon as Zheng Zhuanggong heard it, it was a good way, so he asked Uncle Ying Kao to be responsible for the implementation of the burrowing plan. Uncle Ying Kao lived up to expectations and dug a hole. Zheng Zhuang's mother and son met. The mother and son cried when they met and staged an emotional scene.

There are words to prove it, Zheng Zhuanggong: In the tunnel, the joy is also harmonious! Jiang: Outside the tunnel, the fun is also vented!

Watching Zheng Zhuang's mother and son melt and vent, I prefer to choose to believe: After Zheng Zhuang's father moved to his mother, his conscience found out and decided to restore the relationship between mother and son. In the end, Zheng Zhuanggong picked up his mother under Uncle Yingkao's filial piety theory.

Without the involvement of interests, wouldn't it be better to have a refreshing family ethics comedy!

Wang Bachen's picture, in the blink of an eye, is a cloud of smoke. The family drama of Huangquan seeing his mother can be sung for thousands of years.

In any case, Zheng Zhuang Gong is a male lord with filial piety and measurement. After Jiang's mother and son were in harmony, Gongsun Hua (the son of Gongzi Duan) borrowed guards to attack Zheng, and was completed by Zheng Zhuang Gong with a letter (which will be explained later). Gong Zheng Zhuang took into account Jiang's feelings and spared Gongsun Hua's life.

"Huangquan Seeing Mother" fulfilled the mother and son of Zheng Zhuang, and also fulfilled Uncle Ying Kao, who became the general of the Central Committee from the mayor of Yingdi. He was in charge of the military with Gongsun Yan.

Zhou Zheng crossed

The relationship between Zhou Guo and Zheng Guo can only be described as entangled.

Zheng Boyou (i.e., Zheng Huan Gong) was the son of King Li of Zhou and the younger brother of King Xuan of Zhou. Later, King Zhou You was killed by his father-in-law, that is, King Zhou Ping's grandfather. Zheng Boyou loyally protected the Lord (King of Zhou You) and died. (This is En)

After Zheng Boyou's death, Zheng Wugong rushed to take revenge. In the end, with the strength of the four kingdoms of Wei, Jin, Qin, and Zheng, Xirong was driven away. Wei Wugong presided over the overall situation and suggested that Yijiu be reinstated as king. Zheng Wugong agreed, and personally welcomed Yijiu back and reinstated him as king. King Zhou Ping was also interesting enough, and made Zheng Wugong a minister and stayed in power. (This is also well)

Later, King Zhou Ping was disgusted by the collapse of Hojing and decided to move east. The Qin State came to escort him, and in order to thank the Qin State for winning the opening, King Zhou Ping conditionally rewarded the Qin State with the land near Haojing. This land owns most of the land of Zheng Guo. (This is a grudge)

After the eastward migration was completed, Zheng Wugong and Wei Wugong remained in power in the court and became the main pillars of power in the Zhou Dynasty. After Wei Wugong died, it was up to Zheng Wugong alone. (This is En)

At this time, Zheng Wugong took the opportunity to rise, wantonly conquered, and expanded very quickly, which aroused the vigilance of King Ping of Zhou, and King Ping wanted to recover the land east of Zheng Guohu's prison, and Duke Wu of Zheng was unwilling and did not dare to turn his face with King Ping of Zhou, so he could only move the capital to relieve his doubts. (This is a grudge)

After the death of Duke Zheng Wu, Duke Zheng Zhuang took over his father's class and then assisted King Ping of Zhou. (There are grievances, because Zheng Zhuanggong is not a good type)

It can be seen how many grievances and grievances the Zhou Dynasty and Zheng Guo have. This is still on the surface, and secretly it is impossible to count.

Originally, it was inevitable that there would be a bit of bumps inside and out, and the past would have passed. But when it came to Zheng Zhuanggong, something happened.

The reason has to start with Childe Duan. During the struggle between Zheng Zhuang Gong and Gongzi Duan, he never had time to enter the ruling court. King Ping was not satisfied.

One day, Duke Yu's father went to Beijing to worship King Zhou Ping. King Zhou Ping was idle, so he chatted and drank with his father. After a meal, King Zhou Ping found that his father was more interesting than Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong plays with his heart when he has nothing to do, and has a domineering personality, while his father can speak well, is good at various entertainment programs, and can please people. King Zhou Ping compared in his heart that his jealous father was better than Zheng Zhuanggong, so he said: Jealous father, Zheng Zhuanggong has not come to the court for so long to govern the government, you can replace him. Saying okay, you have to come.

King Zhou Ping thought that his father was easy to speak, and as soon as he said it, his father would agree.

Unexpectedly, the jealous father did not agree. The jealous father has his own thoughts: he worships King Zhou Ping to get acquainted with his feelings, and he will do things well in the future, not to offend people. Moreover, who is Zheng Zhuanggong? I can't afford to offend myself!

The jealous father said: If Zheng Zhuang Gong doesn't come, there must be something in the country. When the domestic affairs are settled, it should come.

King Zhou Ping was quite puzzled, took out the good work of the brothers, and persuaded him a few times, but his father just didn't agree. When King Zhou Ping saw this, he was not reluctant.

King Zhou Ping thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhuanggong to hear about it, and Zheng Zhuanggong was not happy.

According to King Zhou Ping's logic: If you don't come to work, I'll find someone who can work. Zheng Zhuanggong's logic is: In order for you to sit firmly in the country, my grandfather got in, my father has worked for you all his life, and he has been angry for half his life, and now you are starting to toss me again?

A few days later, Zheng Zhuang Gong entered the court. As soon as the two cousins met, they began to discuss the issue.

Zheng Zhuang Gong first said: Our father and son have been ruling in the DPRK and China thanks to the great grace of Your Majesty. However, the subordinates are lowly and worthy of this position. So, please allow your Majesty to pay my respects.

King Zhou Ping was stunned in his heart, so he persuaded: Aiqing has not come to the court for a long time, and this king misses it very much. Now that it's here, why do you want to do it?

Zheng Zhuanggong continued: Some time ago, Gongzi Duan was in turmoil, and his subordinates worked hard to quell the chaos. After the chaos was quelled, he hurried to the court. On the way, His Majesty heard that His Majesty wanted to make his father rule. The subordinates are not as talented as their fathers, and they should be virtuous.

King Zhou Ping knew the reason, half ashamed and half ashamed, and then persuaded: Aiqing has not come for a long time, and this king also knows that you have something in the country. Therefore, I want to make my father govern on your behalf, and wait for you to return. But his father had not yet agreed, and the king ordered him to return to the kingdom. Why should Aiqing be suspicious?

Zheng Zhuanggong also said: The country is the country of His Majesty, and the authority to use human rights lies with His Majesty. If the father is talented, his subordinates should be virtuous. Otherwise, the ministers will think that the ministers are greedy for power and do not know how to advance or retreat.

King Zhou Ping advised: Aiqing Junchen father and son have assisted the king for more than 40 years, and you and I get along well. Today, you and I have doubts, how can I relieve them. It's better for this king to pledge your son to Zheng Guo, how about it?

Zheng Zhuanggong resigned: The power of the state lies in Your Majesty, and your Majesty is also promoted and transferred. If Your Majesty pledges the prince to my Zheng Guo, others will not know the truth, and they will think that it is the powerful king of the subordinates.

King Zhou Ping explained: I was too worried. This king also thinks that Zheng Guo has a good way of governing the country, and wants the prince to go to watch the wind and learn, and also relieve the suspicion of you and my monarchs and ministers. Aiqing don't shirk again.

When King Zhou Ping said this, the ministers immediately agreed. Zheng Zhuang Gong pretended to think, slapped his leg at the last time, and agreed: Since this is the case, it is better for me to send the prince to the Zhou Dynasty as a hostage, and then let the son of Zhou to my Zheng Guo as a hostage.

It is necessary to explain what is qualitative. For example, the robber wants to borrow some money from the rich man, and he is worried that the rich man will not agree, so he first arrests the rich man's son (the rich man himself), and then informs the rich man's family: Your son (husband) is in my hands, and if you want to die, take the money. If you don't take the money, you will tear up the ticket. This son (the rich man himself) is the hostage. Of course, the articles on the official side should be more dignified and elegant. For example, in order to win the trust of the Qing Dynasty and prove that he would not rebel, Wu Sangui put his son Wu Yingxiong in the capital to show: If I rebel, you will kill my son. Wu Yingxiong is the quality. Although Wu Yingxiong's small life may be more comfortable, the result is the same: if something is wrong, I will kill you.

Now you understand what constitutes a hostage. However, you may have a question: the quality is understood, but didn't you say it well just now? Why did you suddenly become a hostage? That's because the history books use rhetorical techniques, and now translate the vernacular.

When Zheng Zhuanggong heard that King Zhou Ping wanted to replace his official position with his jealous father, he immediately entered the palace in a rage.

When Zheng Zhuang saw King Ping, he said: King Ping, I will resign and quit.

King Ping asked in confusion: The Zhou Dynasty is supported by you. Why did you quit all of a sudden?

Zheng Zhuanggong was furious: Gongzi Duan is in turmoil, I just put down the chaos, and I heard that you want to replace me with a jealous father. I was angry, so I quit.

King Zhou Ping was ashamed and ashamed, so he persuaded: You haven't come for so long, I know that you have something at home, so let my father help me first, not to expel you. Moreover, if the jealous father didn't agree, don't be suspicious.

Zheng Zhuanggong then went crazy: The Zhou Dynasty is yours, not mine. Whoever you like to find, I'm not going to do it. Think about it, if you don't have my support, can you be the king of Zhou for a few more days?

King Zhou Ping was frightened, so he said: You father and son have supported me for more than 40 years. You can't just say you won't do it. I definitely won't make this mistake again in the future. If you don't believe me, I'll pledge the Son to you.

Zheng Zhuanggong's anger in his heart was a little smooth, but Zheng Zhuanggong loves his reputation, and he has to kill his younger brother justifiably, let alone blackmail King Zhou Ping? So Zheng Zhuanggong said: That's okay. However, in this way, everyone else knows that I am going to blackmail you, what do you say?

King Zhou Ping said: I will arrange for the prince to go to your place to study as a reason, do you think it is okay?

The ministers persuaded for a while, and Zheng Zhuanggong agreed. But Zheng Zhuanggong still wanted to be famous, and felt that King Zhou Ping had a bad idea, so he said: I will let my son come to you first, and then you will let your son come to me, and it will save others from gossiping. So be it!

In this way, Zhou Shizi became a hostage. In fact, this incident was the only struggle during the reign of King Zhou Ping. King Zhou Ping was dissatisfied with Zheng Zhuanggong and wanted to remove Zheng Zhuanggong and replace it with his father, but his father did not dare and did not do it. After Zheng Zhuanggong heard about this, he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and King Zhou Ping couldn't bear it, so he gave his son to Zheng Zhuanggong as a hostage to eliminate the trouble.

From this incident, the following two points can also be seen:

First, Zheng Guo's national strength is getting stronger and stronger, but the Zhou Dynasty's national strength has fallen to a certain extent. Otherwise, no matter how strong Zheng Zhuanggong was, he would not dare to bargain with King Zhou. For example, during the reign of Duke Zheng Wu, King Zhou Ping wanted to take back the land, so Duke Zheng Wu had to move the capital.

The second is that King Zhou Ping, that is, Yijiu (the eldest young master of the Shen family), is really a wonderful person. If you want to fight, but you don't want to take good measures, it's all on the spur of the moment. Once faced with the struggle, he was cowardly and did not dare to step forward. is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and he is really a tragic figure.

Perhaps, some people say: Zheng Zhuanggong does not support the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty is estimated to be over. King Zhou Ping did this only after compromising for perfection. I just want to say: East Friday has been standing firm for more than 100 years. I didn't see anyone missing, and I died. It can only be said that King Zhou Ping is too cowardly.

Since then, King Zhou Ping has faded out of history, and the scenes of the three grandsons of the Shen family have all come to an end. However, I want to sigh that it is such a Shen family that overthrew the Western Zhou Dynasty and opened the turbulent era of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I have to take it.

What does this mean? Sometimes, it is not all capable people who promote history, and there are opportunities for stunned youth!
