Lu YinGong was the first prince to open the book "Spring and Autumn", and the "History" said that "Spring and Autumn" "wrote down to the end of the mourning", for this reason, some people think that Lu Yingong is a virtuous prince, and "Spring and Autumn" began with Lu Yingong, which is to praise him.
Du Pre of the Jin Dynasty said in the Spring and Autumn Left Transmission Collection and Spring and Autumn Sequence:
"However, how did "Spring and Autumn" begin with Lu Yingong?" He replied, "King Ping of Zhou, the first king of Eastern Zhou." Hidden Duke, let the sages of the country also. When it is considered, it is connected, and its position is the nations, and its beginning is the Zhou Gong's Zuo Yinye. If the King of Ping can pray for eternal life, Shao Kai Zhongxing, The Hidden Duke can promote the ancestral cause, and enlighten the royal family, then the beauty of the Western Zhou Can be found, and the traces of Wen wu will not fall. Therefore, because of its calendar, it is attached to its deeds, and it is necessary to collect the old of the week, so that it will become a king and righteousness, and the future of the law. The king of the book is the King of Ping, the calendar used is Zhou Zhengye, the so-called Gong is Lu Yinye, an in his deposed Zhou and Wang Luhu? Zi Yue: 'If it is useful to me, I am the Eastern Zhou Hu?' This is also its meaning. If the husband makes the text, so the chapter is examined, the eyes see the words, the words are high, the purpose is far, and the words are weak, this is the norm, not hidden. The saint wrapped his body around the defense, and after doing it, Fang Fu concealed it to ward off the troubles, not unheard of. Zi Lu wanted to make the disciples a vassal, and the son of The Son of The Emperor thought that he was deceiving the heavens, and the King of Yun Zhongni su and qiu Ming Su Chen were not general theories. Xian Confucian thought that after three years of production, Wen Cheng zhilin was already delusional, and he also quoted the scriptures and even Zhongni, and he was also close to slander. According to the "Ram" sutra to stop the acquisition of Lin, and the "Zuo Shi" Xiao Yi is not in the number of the three rebellions, so Yu thought that he was a sense of Lin, and when he started to get Lin, then the text stopped at what he started, in order to get the truth. As for the anti-swabbing noodles, I call my way poor and have nothing to offer. ”
Du Xian clearly believed that Lu Yingong was the sage of the kingdom.
Lu Yingong's ability to take the throne is likely to be the result of a power game between various parties, although it is out of the woods, but it is long and wise. Let him work for a few years, and when Lu Huangong grows up, he will give the power to Lu Huangong, this design, there is nothing wrong with it, only from this design, it does not reflect that Lu Yingong is a person with great virtue and great sage.
Judging from the historical facts, he is not bad, but he only has the words of letting the country go, and he does not make the country go.
Zhang Taiyan said in the book "Lecture Notes on The Study of Chinese Culture": "The Spring and Autumn of the nations were not written at the same time, Lu Zeyin always had spring and autumn ears when he was in the Gong, and non-Confucius deliberately entrusted it to begin with the Yin Gongye. Later generations of the First Taibo of the Taishi Gong family, the first Yi and Qi, and the "Spring and Autumn" began with Lu Yin, and its meaning was the same. In fact, Tai Shi Gong may have this intention, but Confucius is not necessarily. Hidden but there are words to let Huan, but there is no fact. Yun 'envoys search for qiu, I will be old', but the usual reward is whispered, how can it really be the country to let it go! ”
In general, Lu Yingong obeyed the etiquette, was well-founded, calm and kind, and could be regarded as a humble gentleman. On many occasions or activities, Lu Yingong did not participate, because he was not an official monarch, and it can be seen that he was very self-conscious. For example, when Lu Huigong was reburied, Yin Gong did not dare to come to the scene to cry as a bereaved owner. Lu Yingong did not abuse his power too much, his mother Shengzi died, and he did not arrange a state funeral. Cain did not dare to follow the courtesy of the righteous king, nor did she dare to prepare a gift to her mother.
Of course, Lu Yingong also has willful times, such as the spring of the fifth year of The Duke of Yin, Lu Yingong is ready to go to Tangdi to watch fishing. Tangdi was far from the capital, and Zang Believed that this trip was not in accordance with etiquette and strongly discouraged it. However, Cain Gong said, "I am planning to inspect the border!" In the end, he went without dissuasion and let the fishermen put on a fishing scene to watch. Zang Said He was ill and did not follow him. Strangely, at the end of December of that year, Zang Shubo died. Yin Gong said: "My uncle has a grudge against me, and I dare not forget his loyalty." So he was buried according to the funeral rites of the original rank plus one. Obviously, tangdi fish viewing is a disgraceful move by Lu Yingong, but I think it is also harmless, who can not do a few things wrong?
In the first few years, Lu Yingong was still active. For example, soon after he ascended the throne, he allied with the small state of Yu Contempt, allied with the enemy Song Guo in Su, and the next year, he would be rong yu qian, allied with Rong in Tang Di, and married with Ji Guo, and through a series of diplomatic activities, improved the relationship between the Lu state and its neighbors.
Unfortunately, the biggest problem of Lu Yingong was that he was indecisive, had insufficient control over power, and could not implement effective management of the country, resulting in his courtiers acting arbitrarily. The grand master Fei Bo privately led the army to build Langcheng, Gongzi Yu led the army to attack Wei Guo with Yi and Zheng Huihe, and Yu Father led the army to attack Zheng Guo together with Song, Chen, Cai, and Wei. In these incidents, either the doctor did not get the order of the hidden public, and the doctor did it privately, or the hidden public explicitly prohibited it, and it failed to prevent it.
Father Yu asks huan gong to be killed, and will be slaughtered. Gong Yue: "For its lack of reason, I will give it." Make the camp and I will be old. "Father Yu is afraid, and he asks Gong Huan to kill him."
Lu Yingong's death cannot but be said to have some of his own reasons, and for yu father's behavior, at least it needs to be responded to or guarded against. If you want to give in, let it go early, so as not to make Huan Gong suspicious. If it is for the sake of Huan Gong's smooth ascension to the throne, should a person with a tiger and wolf heart like Yu Father consider how to prevent it? Cut out his army, or throw him to a foreign country.
Some people say that Lu Yingong has no desire for power. I don't quite agree with that. If he really had no desire for power, he should have abdicated his position early. Why did Duke Huan of Lu agree to Yu Father get rid of Duke Lu Yin for him, was it not because Duke Lu Yin was slow to abdicate the throne? At least the momentum of Lu Yin's abdication of the throne is very unclear, otherwise, Lu Huangong would not have been able to take the throne at the cost of killing his brother's name.
He did not have the heart to kill his brother, but was killed by his brother.
When it is broken, it is broken, and when it is constant, it is chaotic.
To be the king of a country, just a good person, is not enough.
It is difficult to make a difference, and even life cannot be saved.
