Yan Jiao
Uncle Kong showed the letter to Zheng Wengong. Zheng Bo is now also because he did not listen to Uncle Kong's words before, and fleeing the alliance has led to qi guo coming to fight him twice, and his heart is also full of regret and guilt. He also hated Shen Hou.
So he summoned Shen Hou to account for accountability: "You said that only the State of Chu can fight against the State of Qi, and now that the Qi soldiers have repeatedly come to fight, where is the State of Chu that is the rescue?" ”
Shen Hougang wanted to defend himself a few words, and Zheng Bo drank the samurai and tied Shen Hou up and pushed him out to behead him. Then he put Shen Hou's head in a box and asked Uncle Kong to go in and offer it to Qi Jun. "The widow misheard The words of Marquis Shen and did not obey the qi state from beginning to end. Now kill Shen Hou and send his subordinates to plead guilty, hoping that the prince can forgive us. ”
QiHou had always known uncle Kong's wisdom, so he agreed to his request and withdrew. So QiHou gathered all the princes and gathered at Ningmu (潣母, in modern Jinxiang County, Shandong).

Because of Zhou Tianzi's order, Zheng Wengong did not dare to openly go to Ning Mu to attend the meeting, so he had to let Shi Zihua go instead of him.
Gongzihua and his younger brother Gongzi Zang were both born to concubines. At first, his wife was favored by Zheng Wengong, so she was made a prince of Hua Shizi. Later, he slowly married two more wives and also had sons. Slowly, Zheng Wengong stopped pampering Lady Yan and died of illness not long after.
There was also a woman of the Southern Yan kingdom who came to the palace of King Zheng as a concubine (dowry daughter), and Zheng Wengong had not yet favored her. One evening, she dreamed of a tall and beautiful man with an orchid in his hand and said to her, "I am Bo Chip, your ancestor." This time with the national incense to you as your son, to prosper your country. When she woke up, the whole room was scented, and she said what she had dreamed. Her companion laughed at her for having a noble son.
This is the idiom story of Yan Jiao Menglan.
On this day, Zheng Wengong entered the palace and saw that this swallow girl liked her very much. The left and right companions laughed out loud. What is the reason for Wen Gong's question? Everyone said the dream that Yan Nu made. Wen Gong said, "This is an excellent omen, and the widow will give you a son." That night, Wen Gong summoned Yan Nu to spoil her, and she was really pregnant. He gave birth to a son named Gongzi Lan. This swallow girl was also gradually favored by Wen Gong, and everyone called her Yan Jiao.
