Why did Song Mugong send his son Gongzi Feng to Zheng Guo? This is also a very interesting topic. At that time, the courtiers of the Song State, including Kong Father Jia and Hua Zai, were all factions of Gongzi Feng, and when Song Mugong abdicated the throne, Kong Father Jia expressed his heartfelt feelings, saying that he was willing to support Gongzi Feng to succeed to the throne. However, It is very strange that Song Mugong insisted on going his own way and wanted to give way to his brother Song Xuangong's son Heyi.
The "Chronicle of History" says: "Father Kong said: All the subjects were originally established as princes Feng. This is why Kong Father Jia expressed a very resolute attitude toward Song Mugong, but Song Mugong said, "Without Li Feng, I cannot fail to declare publicity." This reason is very far-fetched, not in the name of the sage, to establish and yi, but to thank Song Xuangong. Whether Song Mugong knew about the character of Heyi was worth exploring. At that time, Song Xuangong's reason for choosing Song Mugong was song Mugong Xianneng, this Song Mugong was obviously not stupid, and the history books recorded: "Mu Gong envoy Feng went out to live in Zheng. Song Mugong chose the strongest Zheng Guo at that time for his son, and it was obviously also for the safety of his son.
Song Xuangong was reluctant to allow his crown prince to succeed to the throne with Yi, on the grounds that he did not have the ability of Song Mugong to succeed to the throne, which was seen from the performance of the later succession with Yi. Originally, Heyi was a belligerent lord, and his mind was much smaller than that of Song Xuangong and Song Mugong. This is also most likely the calculation of Song Mugong for fearing that the rebellion in the country would touch the life of Gongzi Feng, but what he may not know is that this Heyi did not care about Zheng Guo's powerful country at all, and soon after he took the throne, he allied with the princes to attack Zheng Guo, which was something he could not think of.
Song Mugong's funeral was very hasty, and after he gave way to Yi, he did not particularly appreciate Song Mugong, but instead hastily ended his funeral. The history books say: "Three years, August Gengchen, Song Gong and Pawn ... In February of the tenth winter, Qi Hou and Zheng Bomeng were at Shimen. 癸未, buried the Duke of Song Miao. In the "Zhou Li", there is "the son of heaven is buried in July, the princes are in May, the doctor is in March, and the scholar is in the month", which means that after the death of the princes, they will be buried about five months later, and a grand funeral will be held.
Song Mugong died in August, while the funeral was in December. The records of the funerals of princes in the history books often record the years and months in detail, and rarely record specific dates. Song Mugong's burial time was just right, and the funeral time was also appropriate, but the time of the funeral was held for "Yan Wei", which is written in the Zuo Biography: "At that time and day, it was dangerous to be buried." "What is the danger at this time? Of course, external worries and internal troubles are there.
According to the judgment of later scholars, the date of Song Mugong's funeral record may be very hasty, that is, it was completed in one or two days. Song Mugong was not a fool, and he was deeply aware that although Kong Fujia and Hua Zai supported Gongzi Feng, they were not the same political views, and even had considerable contradictions. Although both Kong Hua families were relatives of the Song dynasty, after several generations of evolution, they had split into two forces in the Song Dynasty. Song Mugong may not be at ease. The discord between song and martial arts was a big problem in Song Mugong's heart, and he had not solved it all his life, and he probably did not believe that his son was capable of solving it.
He succeeded Yi to the throne as the Duke of Song, it was very warlike, and the history books said that "ten years on the throne, eleven wars", 11 wars were fought in 10 years. The history books say that Kong Father Jia supported the Duke of Song, and as the minister chosen by Song Mugong, it is not known whether this Kong Father Jia was good at governing the country. However, as a member of the royal family, as a descendant of the three generations of old ministers who are examining their father, they are still relatively good at great achievements, and they are quite arrogant, which is the reason for his grudge with Hua Tuo. Even his wife can travel freely on the street, which directly leads to Hua Tuo coveting beauty and killing his family members. Since Kong Father Jia supported Gongzi Feng, why he allowed Song Gong to start a chaotic war was a very interesting thing in itself.
