Wei Guo was a vassal state of the Ji surnamed Ji in Western Zhou, and after the Rebellion of the Three Prisons of Zhou Ping, the people of Yin Shang, who were originally in charge and supervised by Cai, were moved to Wei, and Uncle Li Kang was made an uncle, governing the Wei state, commanding the "Yin Eighth Division", defending Western Zhou, and suppressing the rebellion, so the previous monarchs were all figures in the "Chengkang Period", and the title of the monarch was also promoted from earl to duke. There were two key figures in the middle, the first Marquis of Wei, who bribed King Yi of Zhou with heavy money during his reign to elevate his title from Earl to Marquis; the second Duke of Weiwu, who assisted King Ping of Zhou in pacifying Inuyasha, moved east to Luoyi, and was promoted to Duke of Qin. The Wei state lasted for 907 years and was passed down to 41 monarchs, making it the longest-existing princely state and the last of the many princely states with the surname Ji to perish.

Why did it fall from a first-class princely state to a small country that did not enter the stream, because the country was in political chaos, and there were many emperors who were once destroyed. As a result, how many people with lofty ideals can only realize their political ambitions and ideals if they rush to other places, and it can be said that the first talent flowed out of a big country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shang Martin, Li Wu, Lü Buwei, Wu Qi, and Jing Ke, which one is not famous and famous, and has a strong voice.
Wei Gongzi Zhouwu was the son of a concubine of Wei Zhuang Gong, who was less favored by his father, loved the military, was arrogant and extravagant, and did not exercise restraint. After the death of Duke Zhuang of Weizhuang, Zhou Wu's half-brother Gongzi completed the succession to the throne as the Duke of Wei Huan, but Zhou Hu still did not know how to relent, and Duke Wei Huan dismissed him from his post, and Zhou Hu fled the Wei State.
In 719 BC, Zhou Wu gathered the displaced people of Wei to kill The Duke of Wei Huan and established himself as a prince, known in history as the Duke of Weiqian. Duke Huan of Wei became the first monarch to be killed during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the prefecture called for the usurpation of the throne by the Spring and Autumn Warring States. Soon, Shi Jiao, the Grand Master of the State of Wei, together with Duke Huan of Chen, devised a plan to kill Zhou Wu and return from the State of Xing to welcome Gongzi Jin back to the throne, which was Duke Xuan of Wei.
Unexpectedly, this Wei Xuangong was not a serious person, his wife he did not love, but liked his father Wei Zhuanggong's concubine Yi Jiang, Wei Xuangong and Yi Jiang had an adulterous relationship and gave birth to a prince. Although Gongzi Ling was the product of unrequited love, he was born with a gentle and elegant manner, loyal and benevolent filial piety, and grew up to sixteen years old, a beautiful young man who was properly determined to be the heir to the throne by Duke Wei Xuan. I wanted to be happy with my mother, and my mother and son have been happy, but I never expected that a ridiculous wedding would completely change the fate of this mother and son.
Gongzi Ling was sixteen years old, and had reached the age of talking about marriage, and Wei Xuangong was ready to marry Xuanjiang, the daughter of Duke Qi, for Gongzi. The emissary returned to China and said that Qi Nu Xuan Jiang was magnificent and had the color of pouring the country into the city, and Wei Xuangong's heart itched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be greedy for it, and the sperm worm was on his head, wanting to occupy this beauty. However, as an old man, he wants to occupy his daughter-in-law, is this what people do? How can you say it, and how can you block the mouths of the people outside the palace?
In order to intercept this beautiful Wei Xuangong can be described as painstaking, he ordered people to build a new palace on the north bank of the Yellow River, called "Xintai", ZhuLanhuadong, Chonggong Fu Room, gorgeous extreme. Near the day of the marriage, he ordered his son to send an envoy to the Song Kingdom, and then sent emissaries to the State of Qi to marry Xuanjiang, not to enter the Weiguo Palace, and went straight to Xintai, where Wei Xuangong included his daughter-in-law in his harem. However, it is said that after the gongzi returned from the Song Kingdom, he went to Xintai to resume his life, and Wei Xuangong asked him to see Xuanjiang with the courtesy of his mother, and he did not complain, and he really deserved to be called the most benevolent and filial piety.
However, Wei Xuangong's deeds were despised by the people, and he wrote poems to satirize them, and the Shijing, Guofeng, Shaofeng, Xintai wrote:
Shindai has a pond, and the river is mimi. Yan Wan's request, the mushroom is not fresh.
Xintai has sprinkles, and the river water is muddy. Yan Wan's request, the mushroom is not killed.
The fishing net is set up, and the hong is far away. Yan Wan's request, get this kind of charity.
In today's terms:
Xintai is bright and brilliant, and the river flows eastward. I wanted to marry a ruyilang, but I was ugly like a toad.
Xintai is tall and magnificent, and the river flows eastward. I wanted to marry a ruyi lang, but it was ugly.
Set up a fishing net to catch the fish, did not want to swim in the middle of the toad net. I wanted to marry a ruyi lang, but it was so ugly.
However, the matter is far from over, and the tragic fate of Gongzi Ling has just begun. After Wei Xuangong had Xuanjiang, he alienated Yi Jiang and spent all day looking for fun in Xintai, and Xuan Jiang bore him two sons, Gongzi Shou and Gongzi Shuo, Gongzi Shou RenXiao, and Gongzi Shuo sinister and cunning. Wei Xuangong empathized with each other, and seeing that Gongzi Ling was becoming more and more unpleasant, he always wanted to deprive him of the position of prince and pass the throne to The two brothers Gongzi Shou and Gongzi Shuo. It's just that Gongzi is loyal and benevolent, and has always had no fault, and Gongzi Shou, who is also benevolent and filial, has similar interests and brotherhood, and often maneuvers for him in front of Wei Xuangong, so Wei Xuangong has not succeeded.
The sinister and cunning Gongzi Shuo saw that his own brother and Gongzi were inseparable all day long, and they were brothers and sisters, supporting each other, and secretly thought that there would be nothing for me to do with the future throne, so he secretly played with right and wrong behind his back. Once, Gongzi Ling had a birthday, and at a banquet, Gongzi Ling and Gongzi Shou talked happily, but they ignored Gongzi Shuo, causing resentment in his heart. Gongzi Shuo ran to his mother and said that Gongzi Shuo actually let himself call his father when he was drunk, and if he didn't shout, he would beat him, but thanks to Gongzi Shou's persuasion, he escaped. Xuanjiang believed that it was true, and told Wei Xuangong the original version of Gongzi Shuo's words, and then added oil and vinegar to it, and Wei Xuangong also knew that Gongzi Renxiao was filial piety, and summoned Gongzi Shouyi to ask if there was any such thing. Xuan gong was also half-convinced, and only summoned Yi Jiang to rebuke him fiercely, but he did not expect that Yi Jiang was angry and hated and actually committed suicide.
Hearing the bad news, Gongzi Ling could not hide the grief in his heart, and he was afraid of Wei Xuangong's reproach, so he had to secretly cry, and Gongzi Shuo and Xuan Jiang again made accusations against Gongzi in front of Xuan Gong, saying that he had complained and threatened to let Xuan Jiang and Gongzi Shuo pay for Yi Jiang's life. Wei Xuangong did not believe it, but this mother and son kept beating him, and they were also thieves, so they decided to kill Gongzi Ling to avoid any trouble.
Wei Xuangong conspired with Gongzi Shuo to have Gongzi Shuo go out as an envoy to the State of Qi, holding Bai Xu, and Gongzi Shuo sent dead soldiers disguised as thieves to intercept and kill him halfway, but when he saw Bai Shuo, he only had to slash and kill, and brought the head back to his life. Gongzi Shou saw that his father and brother were conspiring, so he ran to ask his mother, and Xuanjiang did not hide it, but directly told him the truth, thinking that his son could still be distracted.
Gongzi Shou heard the horror, found his brother and told him the truth, and asked him to flee quickly, Gongzi Ling was still foolishly loyal to his father at this time, insisting on sending an envoy to the State of Qi, and died in anger, just as the so-called king wanted the subject to die, and the father wanted the son to die and the son had to die. Gongzi Shou saw that he could not move, and thought that if my brother died and my father made me an heir, what would I look like, it would be better for me to die for my brother, if I could awaken my father, I would also end up with a father's kindness and filial piety, which would flow through the ages.
Therefore, Gongzi Shou went down the river with wine in a boat to catch up with Gongzi Ling to go with him, and he saw that he was going to say goodbye forever, the two people looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and kept toasting each other, Gongzi Shou intended to keep the amount, and Gongzi Ling originally had a small amount of wine, so he drank a drunken and unconscious.
Gongzi Shou picked up his brother's Bai Xu and drove down the river with his entourage, deliberately inserting Bai Xu into the bow of the boat. When they reached Xinye and were about to abandon the ship and land on the shore, the dead soldiers who had already ambushed them saw Bai Xu at the bow of the ship, knew that gongzi had arrived, rushed up and slashed and killed, and cut off the head of Gongzi Shouren. Gongzi Ling woke up the wine, saw the letter left by his brother, and knew that Gongzi Shou was going to die for him, and it was still a step too late to catch up. Gongzi Ling saw his brother's head, and he did not want to live, so he asked the dead soldier to cut off his own head and go back to his life.
When Wei Xuangong learned that both of his sons had died of death, he felt remorse in his heart, and his thoughts became ill, and he could not sleep at night, and died in half a month. At this time, Gongzi Shuo was overjoyed, not only was his two opponents gone, but he could immediately inherit the throne, which was The Duke of Wei.
However, the left and right dukes of Wei state resented Wei Huigong's slander and murder of the crown prince instead, so they rebelled and replaced them with Gongzi Ling and his mother's brother Gongzi Qianmu as kings, and Wei Huigong fled to the State of Qi. Later, with the help of his uncle Duke Xiang of Qi, Wei Huigong killed the left and right princes, and successfully restored the throne, and Wei Junqian mu fled to the Zhou Dynasty. Since then, Duke Wei Hui has sat firmly on the throne of the country, and has also successfully cultivated a well-known, arrogant and lascivious Wei YiGong.
