Chinese attaches importance to the family, it is not easy to govern the family, it is difficult to start a family, and the family and everything are prosperous. If the family is not harmonious, listening to the instigation of outsiders, the light is noisy, the relatives are out of harmony, the heavy is the flesh and blood, and the family is destroyed. Today, I will tell a story of painful lessons and precepts for those who govern the world.
It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was reigned by the Duke of Qi Jing. This Qi Jinggong did not have the hegemonic prestige of the ancestor Qi Huangong, Qi Jinggong was short-sighted, cowardly and incompetent, addicted to wine, and was a waste like a wine bag.
At that time, the government was controlled by two powerful ministers, one was Zuo XiangQingfeng, the other was the right xiang Cui Zhu, and the two were friends. The two controlled the government of the dynasty, acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and decided on their own in case of trouble, and Qi Jinggong only nodded in the court, like a puppet.
Qingfeng is good at drinking, loves to hunt, loves to play in the mountains and rivers, is often not in the capital, and the affairs of the country are handled by Cui Zhu. Slowly, Cui Zhu cultivated his power, controlled the government, and acted arbitrarily. Qingfeng ostensibly calls Cui Zhu a brother and a brother, but he can't get close, secretly jealous and hates Cui Zhu, and always wants to move him down.
Cui Zhu has three wives, and the eldest son has two sons, the eldest son Cui Cheng, and the second son Cui Qiang. The third lady gave birth to a son, Cui Ming, who has grown up. The third lady Tang Jiang is young and beautiful, smart and clever, and is deeply loved by Cui Zhu.
Due to the strong wind blowing on the Tang Jiang pillow, Cui Zhu could not resist, so he decided to pass on the housekeeping to the third son Cui Ming. In order to assist Cui Ming, Cui Zhu blamed Tang Jiang's brother Tang Wu, and his friend Dong Guo Yan was adopted as a courtier, specifically to assist Cui Ming.
The eldest son, Cui Cheng, was originally a Zongzi who inherited the family affairs, but was suddenly taken away by the third brother, and he could not help but be secretly angry. However, his father favored Tang Jiang alone, and Cui Ming had many courtiers and a huge influence, and he could not fight him himself, so he recognized it. But he offered to retire the fief Cui Yi, and Cui Zhu also agreed with a full mouth. However, after consulting with Tang Jiang, he was rejected on the spot. Tang Wuxian and Dong GuoYan stated that Cui Yi must be inherited by his son Cui Ming, and no one else should do it. Cui Zhu couldn't do it, so he told Cui Cheng that I wanted to give Cui Yi to you, but Tang WuXian and Dong Guo Yan didn't agree, and I couldn't do anything about it. This put Cui Chengqi's seven tricks into smoke.
Cui Cheng was angry, but he went to find his younger brother Cui Qiang. When Cui Qiang heard this, he said indignantly: "Big brother, these people are too dark, you have given Zongzi to him, and Cui Yi will not give it." My father was so domineering in Japan, once my father was a hundred years old, would our brother still have a way to live? Cui Cheng said, "Younger brother, our two combined forces cannot defeat Cui Ming, so we might as well go to Uncle Qingfeng, pull him as a foreign aid, and destroy the gang of dog thieves who are blameless." Cui Qiang nodded and said yes.
The two went to see Qingfeng overnight and talked about the family situation. Qingfeng listened, brushed his beard in his hand, and counted his heart, saying that this was a good opportunity to destroy Cui Zhu. He made up his mind and smiled and said to Cui Cheng, "Good nephew, this is all a matter of Dongguo Yantang's two dog thieves, uncle help you in addition to these two dog thieves, I will send you a hundred collars, two hundred steel knives, you are ambushed at the gate, as soon as the two arrive at Cui Mansion, you ambush the soldiers, kill these two dogs will not be finished." Cui Cheng cui qiang nodded his thanks and returned to the mansion with his weapon armor.
The next day, at five o'clock, Cui Qiang Cui Cheng led a hundred soldiers, carrying steel knives and long halberds, to the left and right of the Cui Mansion to ambush, waiting for Dongguo Yantang to arrive without blame. After dawn, Dongguo Yantang came to Cui Mansion early without blame, and just walked to the door, Cui Chengcui Qiang led his family soldiers to kill, and the steel knife slashed the long halberd indiscriminately, and cut Dongguo Yantang into meat paste.
Cui Zhu was eating breakfast in the palace, overheard the chaos at the door, and immediately a servant came to report that the second prince of the Grand Duke had killed Dongguo Yantang at the door without blame, and Cui Zhu could not help but be angry when he heard it. Instruct the coachman to prepare the car until the Gyeongfeng Mansion is on the way.
Cui Zhu rushed all the way to Qingfeng Mansion, saw Qingfeng, and said angrily: "Two rebel sons rebelled, killed Dongguo Yantang without blame, and made trouble in the palace, hoping that Qingfeng's brother would help me and calm down the civil unrest in my family." Qingfeng listened, pretended not to know, and said loudly, "Brother Cui, we Cui Qing are one, Brother Cui's business is my business, I immediately sent troops to help Brother Cui calm the civil unrest", Cui Zhu nodded his head and thanked him.
Qingfeng immediately issued an order, summoning five hundred soldiers and sending his courtier Lu Puyan to lead the troops to set off. Before leaving, Qingfeng secretly called Lu Puyan aside and whispered a few words, and Lu Puyan nodded and said yes. Lead the troops directly to the Cui Zhu Mansion.
Cui Cheng Cui Qiang was taking care of the aftermath in Cui Zhu Mansion when he overheard a report that Lu Puyan had arrived in Qingfeng Province with his troops and wanted to help Er Cui. Cui Cheng Cui Qiang did not suspect it, opened the door of the palace, and let Lu Puyan come in.
As soon as the two of them met, Lu Puyan gave an order, and the steel knives of his soldiers were waved wildly, and Cui Chengcui was caught off guard, killed on the spot, cut off his head, and put on the car. Lu Puyan marched straight into the Cui Mansion, and with a single order, he went on a killing spree, regardless of the Family Lang Yuangong of the Cui Mansion, the male servants and maids, the coachmen and cooks, whether men, women, old or young, they were killed. Five hundred tiger and wolf soldiers, with a shout, killed into the Cui Mansion, killed people when they saw them, snatched things when they saw them, and the screams of direct killing, the corpses crossed the Cui Mansion, and the blood flowed into the river. Two or three hundred people up and down the Cui Mansion were all killed, and Tang Jiang saw that the catastrophe was coming, knew that it was inevitable, and hanged himself in the house.
Lu Puyan completed the mission, led the troops back to Qingfu to make an errand, and threw Cui Cheng's head to the ground. Cui Zhu looked at the second son's first rank, and he was shocked, sad and angry, and did not know how to be good. Only after half a ring did he say, "Lady Tang Jiang is good?" Lu Puyan smiled slightly and said, "Lord Hui, Madame Zun is lying on a high bed in the inner mansion, safe and sound, and I dare not disturb her." Cui Zhu listened and thanked him.
Bidding farewell to Qingfeng, Cui Zhu trotted back to Cui Mansion. Seeing that the gate was closed, he ordered the coachman to open the door and enter the house.
When Cui Zhu went home, he saw that the corpses in the mansion were lying in the air, and the blood was flowing like a river, and the birds were silent. He hurriedly ran into the inner house, and when he saw that his liver and gallbladder were cracked, he saw that his beloved third lady Tang Jiang had committed suicide by hanging from the beam, and the body swayed with the wind. Only then did he suddenly realize that he was sold by Qingfeng, and Cui Zhu burst into tears and was full of remorse, shouting: Qingfeng old thief, my whole family has been killed by you. Since this is the case, I will not live alone, a hundred. He said that he had committed suicide by hanging beams.
The next day, Qingfeng went to court, met with Qi Jinggong, and complained that Cui Zhu was arbitrary, had no king in sight, looked like an anti-thief, and Qingfeng was not talented, and had removed the traitors for the state of Qi. When Qi Jinggong heard it, he only promised and thanked him. Since then, the government has been controlled by Qingfeng alone, and the power has been monopolized.
Heaven has eyes, and does not destroy the Cui clan. When Lu Puyan launched a killing ring in Cui Mansion, Cui Ming was outside and escaped the disaster. Late the next night, Cui Ming secretly returned to Cui Mansion, found the body of Cui Zhutang Ginger, put it on the car, pulled out of Cui Mansion, came to Cui's ancestral tomb, and quietly buried it. After all this was done, Cui Ming set off overnight. He went to the country of Lu.
