In the first month of 681 BC, duke Huan of Qi sent Gongsun Kuipeng to pay homage to King Zhou with a congratulatory gift.
Heavenly Son, seeing the heavens and looking at the faces of the princes, it was really enough, and suddenly came a respectful and respectful, and also brought a lot of flowers and green things, touched!
Gongsun O, do not hide from you, the widow really has nothing to take, you bring a word to your uncle, in the future, wherever it is useful to the king, although say!
According to the Zhou Li, Zhou Tianzi called the princes with the same surname as uncles, and the princes with different surnames as uncles.
Kui Peng almost laughed out loud, Zhou Tianzi was really no situation, there was milk is a mother.
To the Heavenly King Hongfu, although the kingdom is not rich, it will not fight famine. The Song Dynasty was in civil strife, and the Heavenly King must have known about it. Today, although Song Jun has ascended the throne, he has not yet asked for the order of the Heavenly Son. The meaning of the widowed prince of the contemptible country was to ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict, and then invite the surrounding princes to the Alliance of the Contemptible Kingdom to establish the Song Jun.
Well said, the widow will give you the next hand commandment, doesn't the uncle want to be the boss, the widow let him be righteous.
The Feelings of the King of Zhou are not confused.
When Kui Peng returned to China, Huan Gong heard that he was very happy, and it was reported that Guozi, Gaozi, and Guan Zhong all held an executive meeting to finalize the details of the alliance meeting.
Meeting place: Beixing (Dong'a, Shandong).
Meeting time: the first day of March. It is now the first month of the weekly calendar, and there are still two months left until March, which is enough to prepare.
Princes of the League: Spread the hero's post everywhere, the more the merrier.
Father Zhong, how many military vehicles do you see us bringing at this alliance meeting? The northern apricot is far away, in case there is a malicious person, it will be trouble.
Guan Zhong shook his head, we intend to be far away from the virtue, if you want the military vehicle to use, you may wish to come to the next meeting of clothes.
The Society of Clothing, is it not the Association of the League of Non-Leagues that does not wear clothes? No, compared to the military vehicle meeting to wear a military uniform, the dress meeting is to wear a dress.
Well, it's all up to the middle father.
Generally speaking, the Spring and Autumn Alliance should be prepared to sacrifice one head and use more cattle. After the alliance was finalized, the main ally cut the ear of the ox and put it in the cup, and the princes of the ranks in turn smeared blood on their lips with their fingers, calling the blood of the ally. Since then, "holding the bull's ear" has become a synonym for authority.
On February 26, Song Huan said that he would arrive first with a hundred military vehicles.
Qi Hou summoned the princes to help the widow stabilize the throne, and the widow was grateful.
Qi Huangong held his fist to his chest, if you want to thank Tianzi, we are all subordinates of Tianzi.
Yu Said seemed to suddenly remember something: Didn't Qi Hou bring a military vehicle?
Xiao Bai looked up at the sky and laughed: We meet as brothers, and we are not fighting on the battlefield, what is the use of leading a military vehicle?
Song Huangong was ashamed and hurriedly ordered the military vehicle to retreat twenty miles away.
Just after the song kingdom was placed, Chen Xuangong pestle mortar, Cai Aihou offered a dance, and Yi Zike also brought a military vehicle to Beixing. The princes of the ranks were very touched to see the spectacular altar and the open building, especially when they did not see a military vehicle of the State of Qi, and they also learned from the Song Dynasty and returned their respective military vehicles to camp twenty miles.
After the arrival of the four countries, there was no news from the rest of the countries. Qi Huangong waited for another three days, seeing that the meeting period had arrived, he was a little impatient, and said to Guan Zhongdao: The princes are not aligned, do you want to change the meeting date?
Guan Zhong disagreed. In addition, we already have five countries, which is unprecedented in scale. If I change the duration of the meeting, I will not believe what I say. Anyone who did not attend the meeting on time was disrespectful to the King of Zhou, and we just took advantage of this to make a move.
Huan Gong nodded and said yes.
On the first of March, although there was sunshine, it was a little cold. At noon, the princes of the five kingdoms gathered under the altar of the Huimeng.
Li Bi, Qi Huan Justice: Princes, over the years the royal family has declined, the widows have invited the Son of Heaven to edict, and the group of princes will be the king of Kuang. The League of Nations, when pushing one person as the main, everyone discusses and discusses, who is the most suitable?
It turned out that he meant it.
The three monarchs chen, yi, and cai exchanged heads and ears, and Song Huangong was silent.
The State of Qi spared no expense in manpower, material and financial resources to engage in such an alliance, and the position of the leader of the alliance was determined to be won, which was the lice on the bald man's head.
Chen Xuangong took the lead in speaking: Qihou on behalf of the Tianzi Alliance, of course, to elect Qihou as the lord of the alliance.
Cai Aihou was imprisoned by the State of Chu for more than half a year, and was trying to rely on the State of Qi to export evil spirits, and when he heard Chen Xuangong's speech, he was busy responding to the voice: Chen Hou's words are reasonable, and the lord of this alliance is none other than Qi Hou.
Qiu was a small country, and he was willing to please: the widow agreed with Cai Hou and Chen Hou.com.
Qi Huan Gong was overjoyed, and Guan Zhong's face was calm, so he had to suppress himself and say justice to Song Huan: What does Song Huan mean?
Song Huangong's expression was reluctant: Since Chen Hou, Cai Hou, and Yi Zi all agreed to Qi Hou as the ally, what opinion could the widow have?
Qi Huangong gave everyone a deep gift: Since everyone trusts the widow so much, the widow can only reluctantly make it difficult for him, please go to the altar and make an alliance.
In the sound of bells and drums, the monarchs of the five kingdoms first paid tribute to the king in front of the Zhou Tianzi throne, and then paid homage to each other and shared brotherly friendship.
Holding The Covenant in both hands, He knelt before the Throne of Tianzi and read: On March 1 of the first year of the reign of Hu Qi, the Great Zhou Heavenly King, Qi Xiaobai, Song Yushu, Chen Jiuwu, Cai Xianwu, and Qiu Ke, with the mandate of the Heavenly Son, would meet in Northern Xingxing, and jointly agreed: to support the royal family, resist foreign insults, calm the war, and help the weak. If there is a violation of the covenant, the nations will cut it down!
The kings of the five kingdoms bowed to the Heavenly Son in unison: Only the covenant is from it!
Guan Zhongdao: Lu, Wei, Zheng, and Cao dared to disobey the king's orders, did not come to the meeting, and did not crusader against why the king's orders were correct.
Huan Gong said in a smooth voice: "Princes, our country's troops are insufficient, may the four dukes work together to send troops to fight."
Chen Xuangong, Marquis Cai Aihou, and Yi Zi responded in unison: I would like to listen to the dispatch of the Lord of the League.
Song Huangong looked away and did not make a sound.
At the end of the alliance, Song Huangong returned to the building, feeling sullen and unhappy.
Xiang Guo dai shupi asked softly.
Duke Huan of Song sighed: Under the banner of the Son of Heaven, Qi Hou oversteps his throne and places the widows?
Dai Shupi said angrily: The lord is greatly respected, and it should be the main princess alliance, and Qi Hou completely disregards the order of honor and inferiority, which is too bullying.
Song Huan was just: Qi Hou not only dominated the alliance, but also ordered all countries to dispatch military vehicles from all countries to attack the princes who did not participate in the alliance. Chen Hou, Cai Hou, and Qiu Zi all looked at Hou Hou's eyes, and the widows were helpless.
Dai Shupi sneered: This meeting only went to the Five Kingdoms, which shows that Qi Hou's prestige is not high.
Song Huan said fairly: Otherwise, only this matter of hegemony, Qi Hou did a steady and steady fight, this person can not be underestimated.
Dai Shupi said: The hegemony of the State of Qi is not a good thing for our country. According to the opinion of the four countries attending the meeting, only Song is the greatest, and according to the opinion of the subject, our country does not listen to his greetings, and the three kingdoms of Chen, Cai, and Yi will certainly not collapse with a dead heart, so that the five-power alliance will immediately disintegrate. Now that we have been given the mandate, the purpose has been achieved.
Song Huangong thought about it for a moment and suddenly stood up from his seat: Yes, the Principality of the Widows, why should it be subject to Qi! Pass on the order and leave for home tonight.
Early the next morning, Qi Huangong found that Song Huangong had not quit and said goodbye, and he was very annoyed. He was about to order a retribution, but was stopped by Guan Zhong: Lord, there is something more urgent in front of him than the Song Dynasty.
Qi Huangong glanced at Guan Zhong, and his eyes were full of questions.
Guan Zhongdao: Song Guo betrayed the alliance, but he finally came, Lu Zhengwei Cao Siguo not only did not come, but also did not have a message, the standard was not beaten. Among the four countries, the state of Lu is the strongest and most recent, and our country has lost to Lu twice, and the three armies are holding their breath. For now, the first thing is to valu.
When Qi Huangong heard this, his anger suddenly surged: Father Zhong's words were very much in line with the wishes of the widows, so hurry up!
Guan Zhong smiled: The lord is not anxious, and Valu must first cut Sui (Feicheng, Shandong). This country is a vassal of the state of Lu, and once the country is broken, the country of Lu will be afraid. We sent envoys to Lu to rebuke Lu Hou for not coming to the alliance. At the same time, he sent a letter to Lady Wenjiang, who was the sister of the lord and advocated the reconciliation of Qilu. Lu Hou was forced to order his mother within, and the soldiers on the outside were bound to seek alliances. Lu Hou and the alliance, Zheng Wei Cao's kingdoms will inevitably follow suit. After Pinglu, he invited Zhou Tianzi to send an army to cut down the Song Dynasty together, and the big thing was done.
Qi Huan GongJie exclaimed: Father Zhong's thoughts are thoughtful, and that's it!
As the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan openly created a model of hegemony, that is, first obtain the order of the King of Zhou, call everyone to a meeting, dare not come to the crowd to beat, and then join forces to fight barbarians. Later, Jin Wengong also took this road.
