Chapter 020: The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Hegemony of the Chu State
-- The book continues --
The prestige of the Chuzhuang Wanggongzi Brigade is in full swing, but he never dares to forget the shame of being defeated by the Jin State thirty-five years ago, and is ready to wash away the shame of the Battle of Chengpu.
Seeing that this Jin State was lying on the merits of the Battle of Chengpu in the past, squandering the glory of their ancestors, one night, under the leadership of the Chuzhuang Wang Gongzi Brigade, they attacked the camp of the Jin Kingdom, killing shouts, and screams continued.
Tang cunning and brave led the troops to charge, and suddenly the Jin State fell into a sea of fire, the Jin State was defeated, the Jin State retreated to the north of the Yellow River, and the small countries that submitted to the Jin State in the past all surrendered to the new master Chuzhuang Wanggongzi Brigade, but only the Song State died and did not surrender, and the Chuzhuang Wanggongzi Brigade was suddenly furious.
The country of Song also dared to compete with the sun and the moon, the army directly besieged the city, and the Song State asked the Jin State for help, but the Jin State was greatly injured in the battle of Yidi, so he was worried that the Song State would surrender to Chu, and deceived the Song State with a trick to make the Song State think that there would be reinforcements, and Chu and Song began a war for nearly a year.
The war between Chu and Song soon left the people of Song basically without food, and they had reached the point where they had no food to spare, and the commander of the Chu army, Zi Yan, never understood why Song did not surrender.
In the past nine months, Yang Youji and Tang Wei and others have no choice but to start holding archery competitions in the army for fun, and the Chuzhuang Wang Gongzi Brigade directly reprimanded Yang Youji, and then left angrily.
When the commander countered that the prince of Chuzhuang should not treat Yang Youji like this, the prince of Chuzhuang said angrily, if Sun Shuao was still alive, he would definitely help him take the Song Kingdom, how could you be like this.
Commander Zi Anti An thought that Gongzi Brigade was disgusted with his incompetence, and then Zi Kang built a viewing platform outside the Song State City, and after a while, Hua Yuan, the commander of Song State, changed into Chu State clothes one night and secretly came to Zi Anti, who was sleeping.
When Zi wanted to draw his sword anyway, Hua Yuan, the commander of the Song Kingdom, directly said his identity, Zi was at a loss, and Hua Yuan then said that his purpose was to seek peace.
And what the two people didn't know was that the prince of Chuzhuang came to the door, and when he was just about to enter, he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat when he heard the conversation between the two, could it be that he surrendered to the Song Kingdom?
The prince's brigade of Chu Zhuang stood quietly at the door and listened to them, and soon Hua Yuan told all the situation in his country, the Song State, and Zi Yan also said that his Chu army had less than seven days' food.
Seeing that the two were heart-to-heart and ready to tie the knot, the prince of Chuzhuang Brigade carried a sword into the house, and when the two were ready to die, the prince of Chuzhuang Brigade asked the soldiers to take out wine glasses and formally form an alliance.
This war, which lasted for more than nine months, ended under the glass of peace, and at the same time, the road to hegemony of the princely brigade of Chuzhuang came to an end.
At this time, the monarch of the Jin State passed to the hands of Jin Linggong, the grandson of Chong'er, and came to a legendary story of the Zhao orphan, although the Zhao orphan is a fictional story, but there are also character prototypes, Tu Anjia is real, because Tu Anjia is a civilian-born official, he has always been used as a tool to fight the great nobles in the hands of Jin Jinggong, and when he is not in use, he is used as a paper to wipe his ass, and he throws it away when he runs out.
Because Tu Anjia is not his real name at all, but just a title, he is a person who has not even left a surname.
"Tuan" refers to a person who specializes in slaughtering livestock; "Jia" refers to a humble official, which is equivalent to the current unit-position-inside-outside-hired-personnel.
"Tu Anjia" means that he was originally a husband, and later became a small official in the government. is such an inconspicuous person, who was favored by Jin Jinggong, and rose all the way to the position of Sikou.
Among the Zhao orphans, Ying's surname is Zhao, and his name is Wu (during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he used his surname instead of his surname, and Ying was only a tribal name and title, so it was not called Yingwu).
He was nicknamed a "Wen" word, and later generations called him "Zhao Meng", and the history books called him Zhao Wenzi, the grandson of Zhao Dun, the son of Zhao Shuo, and the great-grandson of Jin Wengong.
One of the six secretaries of the Jin State in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the suzerain of the Zhao family, and the founder of the revival of the Zhao family, was later promoted to the secretary of the Jin State, took charge of the national affairs of the Jin State, advocated harmony with the princes, and finally promoted the "alliance of soldiers" between the Jin State and the Chu State.
In the early years of Jin Chenggong, Zhao Dun was the regent of the country and set up his younger brother as the suzerain of the Zhao family. Xuan Meng died in power for 20 years, leaving behind a huge party and huge wealth. Zhao Shuo is the secretary, Zhao Kuo leads his clan, Zhao Zhuangzi is close to Yin and Luan, and Yuan Tong and Ping Kuo are the first to be the party. As a result, the Zhao clan split. Jin took Zhao Ji's wife Zhao Shuo and gave birth to a son, named Zhao Wu.
In the period of the Jin Mourning Duke, the Jin Mourning Duke issued an order to the princes to meet the alliance and invited the princes to discuss the war.
The Duke of Jin, who had his hands free, wanted to severely punish Qi Guo and teach Qi Linggong a lesson. Just when Mourning Gong was preparing to fight Qi, he suddenly became ill and did not get better after a long treatment. All the ministers paid homage to the mourning prince who was sick in bed, and prayed for the king's well-being, but his illness dragged on for several months and did not improve.
He was seriously ill, and the government affairs of the Jin Kingdom were basically suspended.
After winter, the mourning prince lies on the couch all day, and the son is on the side.
cumbersome court affairs, as well as the provocation of the Qi State, the peeping of the Qin State, and the counterattack of the Chu State...... People are also looking forward to mourning the duke being able to stand up again and lead them to create a prosperous era belonging to the Jin Kingdom.
Soon, Gongzi Biao took medicine for his mourning father, and died shortly after mourning his father.
The chamberlain announced to the outside world: The Marquis of Jin has passed away! The Jin Kingdom was mourned, and the whole country wept bitterly. Xun Yanzuo Gongzi Biao presided over the funeral and released an obituary.
The death of the mourning prince was the starting point of the complete decay of the Jin office, and it was difficult for the later monarchs to control the powerful Liuqing.
This is also a huge turning point in Zhao Wu's political life, Jin Mourning Gong cherished great political ideals, but died young, so that Zhao Wu and Han Qi's ambition to create a great cause suffered a heavy blow, and the damage to Zhao Wu is self-evident.
In the days to come, when Zhao Wu's self-cultivation, self-cultivation, governing the country, and the world were not going well, he realized that having a lord like Mourning Gong was a happiness that a virtuous minister could meet but could not seek.
But the demise of the Jin State was doomed, and the Qi State on the other side also met the crisis.
The Duke of Qi Zhuang sneakily came to the door of his ministers (the king is the palace, the marquis is the palace, the ministers and scholars are the first, the people are the house, and the slaves are the nest) and Cui Zhu is the minister, and the rank of his family is the first.
Having said that, Duke Qi Zhuang came to Cui Zhu's house for his wife Tang Jiang, one of the beauties, in order to have a good time with Tang Jiang, Qi Zhuang Gong turned into a thief, and Tang Jiang was shameless by his husband for his own wealth and queen dream.
But the matter of Qi Zhuang Gong and Tang Jiang, also because of the great war between Qi and Ju, it is a pity that the current Qi State is no longer the hegemony of Jiang Xiaobai and Qi Henggong, and was beaten by a small country in Ju and lost his armor, and Qi has also become a laughing stock.
Cui Zhuang took this opportunity to say to Qi Zhuang Gong that he would cut down all the defeated generals, and Qi Zhuang Gong directly handed over power to Cui Zhuang out of a weak heart for Cui Zhu, and Cui Zhuang also took the opportunity to eliminate his political enemies.
However, Yan Ying, the senior doctor of Qi State, couldn't help but feel extremely distressed, but it was a pity that Qi Zhuang Gong didn't listen to Yan Ying's words, just like Jiang Xiaobai didn't listen to Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's words back then, when Qi Zhuang Gong drove Yan Ying to the East China Sea, and Qi Zhuang Gong's decision made the entire court of Qi become a hall of words for Cui Zhu, Qingfeng and others.
Soon after Yan Ying left, Cui Zhuang and others began to plot to kill Qi Zhuang Gong first, and dominate the court, so when Qi Zhuang Gong sneakily came to Tang Jiang's house, when he was about to do good deeds, Tang Jiang sent food to his husband Cui Zhu under the pretext of sending food to his husband, and asked Qi Zhuang Gong to wait here, Qi Zhuang Gong waited beautifully, but after a while, there was a shout from outside the door.
Qi Zhuang Gong was shocked, and when he went out, he was coming at him, Qi Zhuang Gong shouted that he was the king, but everyone ignored Qi Zhuang Gong and directly shouted to kill Er and other prostitutes, and Qing She shot Qi Zhuang Gong to death with an arrow.
The next day, after the death of Duke Qi Zhuang, Cui Zhu immediately convened the ministers to discuss the establishment of a new monarch, and at this time, Yan Ying, who was driven away, took the people of Qi to block the door of Cui Zhuang's house and wanted to collect the body of Duke Qi Zhuang, and Cui Zhu learned that Yan Ying dared to block his own court, and he was immediately furious and directly left the matter of establishing a new monarch.
After Cui Zhu drove home in the carriage, he started a scolding war with Yan Ying directly on the street, but unfortunately Cui Zhu said that Yan Ying couldn't say it, and had no choice but to let Yan Ying enter his home, but Cui Zhu, who was in power, was not worried about the name of killing the monarch at all, Cui Zhu directly forced the ministers to be loyal, only Yan Ying did not bow his head when he died, when Cui Zhu wanted to kill Yan Ying, he was stopped by Taishi Gong of Qi, Cui Zhu thought that Taishi Gong would not record the history of his killing of the monarch, so he let Yan Ying go.
However, a few days later, Cui Zhu knew that the Taishi Gong of Qi wrote in the Qing History, "Summer and May have passed, and Cui Zhu's Yu family has killed the king!" ”
Cui Zhu was furious and directly cut down the Taishi Gong of Qi, and after changing a few new Taishi, all of them were written "Xia May is over, Cui Zhu's Yu family killed the king!" ”
After Cui Zhu established a new monarch, Cui Cheng's eldest son Cui Cheng was dissatisfied with the shameless Tang Jiang and her son Cui Ming, and bluntly said that Cui Ming was a mongrel that Tang Jiang did not know and the wild man, and directly killed Tang Jiang's mother and son.
Cui Shu asked Qingfeng for help, Qingfeng immediately let his nephew Qingshe lead the troops to Cui Shu's house without saying a word, and Cui Zhu never thought that Qingshe would kill someone when he met him, Cui Zhu waited for Qingshe to come back and hurriedly thanked him and went home immediately.
However, when Cui Shu found that his whole family did not have a living mouth, he couldn't help but be endlessly sad, and Cui Shu, who had nothing to love, ended his life of sin.
