Zhao Dun supported the Jin Linggong to succeed to the throne, but why did he still want to kill the king? This also starts with the pre-Qin version of the Hongmen Banquet

I am Tang Di, a history buff. Welcome everyone [attention] I, let's talk about the past and the present, and discuss the general trend of the world. Gentleman I, just to learn and make friends!

Moreover, in the winter of 621 BC, Zhao Dun and Jia Ji argued about the establishment of the king and finally excluded Jia Ji, it is said that the country has many reasons to establish a long king is also the right way of thinking, but the matter is not over, the good drama is still to come.

Everything was going on in full swing, and the ministers sent to the Qin Kingdom to invite Gongzi Yong to return to the throne had already negotiated with that side and returned to resume their lives. At this time, Duke Mu of Qin had just died, and Duke Kang of Qin had taken the throne, which was another ambitious monarch.

In his opinion, Gongzi Yong's return to the throne may be a rare opportunity for the Qin State, and he seems extremely responsible:

"When we sent Wen Gong back to China to take the throne, there were fewer people sent, so Lü Nephew and Qirui launched a coup d'état to try to kill him, and now we have to learn a lesson."

Therefore, the large army of the Qin State escorted Gongzi Yong and set out for the Jin Dynasty.

Victory and everything is still messy here. The crown prince's mother, Mu Ying (who should be the sister of Qin Kanggong), heard that her son was going to stand aside, and suddenly stopped doing it, and the woman had the way of fighting as a woman, holding the prince every day and crying in the courtroom while complaining:

"What is the sin of the first king?" What is the sin of his heirs? You have abandoned the heirs of the country and gone to foreign countries to find the monarch, what are you going to do with the prince? Kill him?"

For a moment, everyone was embarrassed, as if the courtiers had collectively betrayed their conscience.

All the way to the retreat, Mu Ying came to the Zhao family with the crown prince in his arms, and with a thud, he knelt down to Zhao Dun and prostrated his head:

"The ancestors originally held this child and told you, 'If this child has a future appearance, I will be grateful to you; but if it is not successful, I will complain about you over there.'" Now Xianjun has just died, but I'm afraid these words will echo in your ears. Why did you abandon your promise like this!?"

So things suddenly reversed.

"Zuo Chuan": "Xuanzi and the great masters are all suffering from Mu Wei, and they are afraid of persecution, but they are contemptuous of the first and establish a spiritual prince" (Du Pre-zhu believes that it is "afraid of the people of the country to force great righteousness"). According to the "History of the Jin Dynasty", "Zhao Dun and the great masters were all suffering from Miao (Mu) Yin, and they were afraid of the curse, but they were greeted by the back and set up the prince Yigao, for the sake of the Linggong." The "Zhao Shijia" said: "Zhao Dun suffered from it, fearing that his sect and the doctor would attack him, but he was the prince of Sui, and he was the Linggong." The meaning is similar.

But if you can think about it a little, you will find that this description is too superficial or even glorified:

First, the words mu Ying said in the Zhao family were all bright and upright, and they could be taken to the table, and she cried and complained in the court every day, and these words were probably already crying;

Second, there is basically nothing untrustworthy about touching a mature and shrewd politician with pure and bright truths. Whether Mu Wei's words were spoken at the gate or in the house is no longer verifiable, anyway, they were said in front of Zhao Dun. According to the usual practice, the courtiers would not block the mother of the country from speaking outside the gate, and they had any communication other than saying this, I am afraid that Zhao Dun and Mu Ying would not be willing to open it.

Third, external factors. The State of Qin sent heavy troops to escort Gongzi Yong back to China, and his intentions were questionable. Zhao Dun would not fail to think of Rick at that time, Rick killed the two children of The Duke of Xian to greet The Duke of Jin, and as soon as the Duke of Hui returned to China, he not only relied on the various "offers" promised to Rick, but also killed him with righteousness and righteousness.

Now Qin Kanggong's means are more tough, Gongzi Yong has achieved Yaqing in the Qin Kingdom, and 80% of them are not incompetent. In case he comes back to find a scapegoat... The consequences are unimaginable! Therefore, for Zhao Dun at that time, it was still much safer to set up a child.

Fourth, and most important. It is said that even if the plan is adjusted, if the reasons are bright and just, it is necessary to explain clearly with the first contempt and soldiers who have returned from a business trip and do a good job of ideological work; it is even possible to explain it to the Qin people and solve the problem through diplomatic channels. But in fact, Zhao Dun not only secretly established a Linggong in secret from his two colleagues, but also gave a surprise attack to the Qin people, making it look like a thief. Therefore, we have every reason to believe that Mu Ying's visit is not just as simple as it seems, and there may well be an ulterior political deal behind the scenes.

Most of the descriptions of the "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records" were the contents that Zhao Dun later announced to the outside world, and they were all things that could be put on the table, and the propaganda caliber at that time was probably similar to that of now.

This side has changed its mind and established a new monarch, and the Qin army over there is still excited to send people. At the critical moment, Zhao Dun immediately decided: Fight! As to why this problem cannot be resolved through diplomatic means, there is no need to delve into it.

The time is April 620 BC. Except for the main general of the Jin Dynasty, Ji Zhengju, who was defending the capital, the other five armies all went out on expeditions. Zhao Dun sent the chinese army, XianKe Zuozhi; Xun Lin's father Zuo Shangjun; Xian contemptuous generals went down, and first du Zuozhi.

Before the battle, Zhao Dun made an unreasonable and resolute speech to the whole army:

"If we accept Gongzi Yong, the Qin army will be our guests; if we don't, they will be our enemies." Now that we have established a monarch and dragged mud and water with him, the Qin people are likely to have ideas. Now we have to strike first and drive them away like thieves! (The ancestors had the heart to seize the people, and the good strategy of the army was also good.) Chasing away is like chasing away, and the good governance of the army is also. "So he made a surprise attack in the middle of the night, and at Ling Fox defeated the Qin army, which was still in the dark and unprepared."

The internal and external crises were temporarily resolved, and for Zhao Dun, he naturally consolidated his power and position in the Jin state, but for the Jin state, the price of the victory of the fox this time was inevitably too heavy:

First, the complete rupture between Qin and Jin.

Originally, since the Battle of Kun, the relations between the two countries have been not good, and they have been fighting each other for many years, and this battle has made the relations between the two countries into an irreparable abyss. Originally, Qin Kanggong's methods were also very unwise, after all, the Jin state was the hegemon, the national strength was much stronger, and it was no longer the scene of continuous civil strife 20 years ago, and then wanted to take the old road of Mu Gong using the abolition of the monarch to control the Jin state, it was already impossible, and this loss was also to blame himself for thinking too much, it was self-inflicted. However, from a logical point of view, after all, the Qin people came at the invitation of the Jin people, and Zhao Dun, without any reason, used the next three rotten means to attack others, no matter what, it was unjustifiable. After that, the contradictions between Qin and Jin became more profound, and the State of Qin united with the State of Chu against the State of Jin, and throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, the relations between the two countries were never bridged again.

Second, it caused discord within the Jin Dynasty.

Not only the Qin army, but also his subordinates Xian contemptuous and shihui were also kept in the dark by Zhao Dun. After the battle, the two men went out to the Qin Kingdom, in addition to fearing the revenge of Linggong, the strong dissatisfaction with Zhao Dun was probably also an important reason.

The Qin people reused the Shihui and repeatedly won the battle against the Jin State, and it was Zhao Dun who used unconventional means to earn the Shihui back to the Jin State, and this adverse consequence was partially eliminated.

In fact, Zhao Dun's luck in the Battle of linghu was already too good to be counted: fortunately, Xian Contempt and Shihui did not come to the battlefield to make trouble with him; it was even more fortunate that the political enemy shangjun commander Ji Zheng, xiandu, Shi Xuan, Liang Yi'er, Pu De, and others did not take advantage of the fire and robbery, but gave him a chance to come to him in the back, but only after two years to make trouble, otherwise, Zhao Dun was afraid that he would really be unable to eat and leave.

The Jin state paid a huge price for Li Linggong, and the country's hegemony was also crumbling under the constant challenge of Chu and Qin, and after more than ten years of busy dealing with Zhao Dun, the crisis was finally temporarily eliminated; but a new crisis came soon: the relationship between Zhao Dun and Linggong had reached an irreconcilable point.

Perhaps inheriting his mother's spicy genes, Linggong has also become a person who likes to fool around, and as he grows older, he is more and more called Zhao Dun, the ruling minister, a headache.

In 612 BC, when Zhao Dun led the Jin army to go on a crusade against the State of Qi, which did not obey the State of Jin, he suddenly received a notice from the rear to stop acting, and it turned out that the Qi people had taken a lot of good things to bribe the Jin Linggong, and the Linggong at this time was probably about 15 years old.

In 610 BC, a similar situation actually happened again, and Zhao Dun led the multinational forces of the princes to punish the Song people who killed the king, but they still abandoned it halfway for the same reason. Therefore, the overlord of jinguo is inevitably ridiculed and even abandoned by everyone.

In 608 BC, the People of Zheng felt that the Jin State had nothing to fear and could not be relied upon, so they turned to the State of Chu. The hegemonic authority of the Jin State was certainly affected, and Zhao Dun always felt disgraced.

This is still a relatively external influence, and at home, Linggong's nonsense has become even more excessive. The little emperor loved luxury, so he went on a rampage and built a gorgeous palace; not only that, he was also very cruel, liked to shoot passers-by with a slingshot on a high platform, and watched people hold their heads to avoid the way, and the linggong felt very good.

The contradiction between Zhao Dun and Linggong gradually deepened to the point of irreconcilability. One day, Zhao Dun and Shi Hui went to see him, and when they saw several palace ladies carrying a large dustpan and looking out, a hand was actually revealed in the dustpan, so they asked what was going on. It turned out that Linggong asked the chef to make bear paws for himself, and when he found that it was not cooked, he killed the cook.

With such a reckless disregard for people's lives, Zhao Dun decided to talk about the small monarch, or the soldiers would consider it thoughtfully, and blocked it:

"Let me go first." Let's go together as soon as we come up, in case it breaks down, it won't be easy to clean up; I'll go first, and if you can't say you can't get out, is it more appropriate? ”

So the taxi will meet alone. Don't look at linggong playing inferior and cruel, in fact, Linggong people are still very smart, but they are just cruel and cruel by nature. The priests would respectfully salute three times, and then go inside, straight to the eaves, and the linggong pretended to have just seen it, and before the priest would say anything, he first blocked the other person's mouth with words:

"Oh, I already know I've done something wrong, and I'm musing about it." The council remained solemn and replied verbally, "Who has no fault?" If you can change it, you can do it well. ”

Afterwards, he still dutifully exhorted a few words, but Linggong was already annoyed and still went his own way.

Subsequently, Zhao Dun consulted many times, and after talking too much, his words were not so neutral, making Linggong extremely uncomfortable. He felt that with Old Zhao there, he could not be comfortable, so he wanted to "do" Old Zhao.

The first was an assassination, and the Linggong sent the assassin Hoe To carry out the mission. Before dawn, the hoe sneaked into the Zhao family compound, touched Zhao Dun's room, and found that the door had been opened, and it turned out that Zhao Dun was already dressed and ready to go to the court, because the time was still early, he sat and closed his eyes to recuperate. Zhao Dun's diligence and appearance touched the assassin and saved himself, but The Hoe was a Jinguo man with a sense of justice, and he really couldn't get his hands on it and withdrew.

"Sigh: Do not forget to be respectful, the Lord of the people." Lord of thieves, unfaithful. Forsaken the king's commandments and do not believe. There is one here, it is better to die also. ”

The Assassin Hoe's unavoidable head was killed in a locust tree.

In September 607 BC, Linggong pretended to invite Zhao Dun to drink, and ambushed the knife and axe bearer next to him, trying to chop him. During the banquet, Jin Linggong proposed to see Zhao Dun's sword, zhao Dun did not think much about it, he showed it to Jin Linggong, Zhao Dun's car right Ti Mi Ming saw that the situation was not right (it is unlikely to be realized, otherwise Zhao Dun would not be so risky), and quickly stepped up to the hall: "Playing with the sword in front of the monarch is too unruly" - mixed with Zhao Dun and quickly evacuated.

Linggong quickly summoned the sword and axe hand to pursue, released a group of vicious dogs to solve the problem, and the situation became critical again, and Timmyo fought with his bare hands and killed the fierce dog. Zhao Dun said, "Using dogs without people, although fierce, what is the use?" The two of them fought and retreated with the ambushed samurai. Timmyn eventually fought and died.

It seemed that only Timmying's Fan Duo was not enough, so Xiang Bo came out--Linggong's bodyguard Linggong turned his head to guard Zhao Dun, and the two of them escaped together.

It turned out that Zhao Dun was actually the benefactor of this spirit, once he went out hunting, saw a person hungry under a mulberry tree, this person did not eat for three days, Zhao Dun gave him food, this person only ate half of the outside, it turned out that he was outside for three years home, did not know whether his parents were there, ready to leave half for the old man. Zhao Dun simply let him finish eating and gave him another bag of meat.

This lingyuan turned out to be the hungry man before. After escaping, Zhao Dun asked him why he had saved him, and Lingyuan said, "I am the hungry man under the mulberry tree." Ask him for his name and address again, and the other party will leave without answering.

In fact, although Linggong's three or two moves were bad, they were always evil style and level. When Zhao Dun came out, he said to Linggong, "You give up people and only trust dogs, although it is fierce and what is the use!" Once Zhao Dun made up his mind, the Linggong of the Dumb Boy would not be able to survive no matter what.

After proper arrangement, Zhao Dun went into exile, and within a few days, Zhao Chuan's cousin did the Linggong in Taoyuan, and then Zhao Dun came back safely to clean up the mess.

The only flaws in this play are:

When Zhao wore his hands, Zhao Dun had not yet "gone into exile" out of the Jin Dynasty as a territory. Maybe zhao dun had some problems on the road and didn't leave the country at the agreed time, or maybe Zhao Pu was too anxious.

In short, the one who picked the fault came: Tai Shi Dong Lone recorded on the bamboo Jane: "Zhao Dun killed his jun", and also got it to the court to announce it to everyone. Zhao Dun hurriedly theorized: "Old sir, you are mistaken, that is what Zhao wore!" ”

Taishi calmly answered correctly:

"You are the secretary of state, the country is managed by you, you fled and did not go abroad, you are in charge of things, and when you come back, you do not punish the murderer.

Zhao Dun cried bitterly: "Oops, oops, they all blame me for coveting comfort, not running fast!" ”

Zhao Dun's execution of the Emperor became a moral case in the Spring and Autumn Period and even in ancient China, and even confucius later participated in the discussion:

"Dong Gu, the good history of the ancients, calligraphy is not hidden." Zhao Xuanzi, the Ancient Doctor of Liang, suffered evil for the Fa. Unfortunately, the more it is, the more it is spared. (If he goes out, he doesn't have to bear the notoriety of being a king.) ”
