In 678 BC, Duke Wu of Jin was already 77 years old, and Qi Huan was in his prime, and in order to win over the Jin state, which rarely paid attention to the affairs of the Central Plains, he also married his young daughter Qi Jiang to the elderly Duke Wu of Jin. Duke Wu of Jin was already so old, of course, it was impossible to have any marital relationship with Qi Jiang, and as a result, the crown prince of Duke Wu of Jin actually had a successful adulterous affair with Qi Jiang before his sickbed.
In 677 BC, Duke Wu of Jin died, and the crown prince Wei Zhu took the throne as the Duke of Jinxian and made Qi Jiang a lady, but Qi Jiang soon died, leaving only one son and one daughter: the female one was called Boji, who later married the Duke of Qin Mu as a lady, and the male was called Shen Sheng, who was made crown prince by Jin Xiangong. In addition, he also married a pair of sisters HuaHuji and Xiao Rongzi as concubines in Rongdi, and they had a son, named Shige'er and Yiwu. Before this was over, Xiangong attacked Li Rong again, and snatched Li Ji, the precious daughter of the Prince of Li Rong, along with her sister, to be the Lady of the Press. Among these big wives and little wives that the Gonggong has, Li Ji looks the most beautiful, and the "Zhuangzi QiWu Theory" has clouds: "Mao Yan, Li Ji, the beauty of people, the depth of fish, and the high flight of birds." "It is the prototype of a sinking fish and a falling goose." Therefore, she was very favored by the public and was made a lady.
In 660 BC, The Duke of Jin sent the crown prince Shen Sheng to attack Dongshan. Rick said to Jin, "The crown prince is a person who offers sacrifices to the temple shrine and greets the king's food and drink in the morning and evening, so he is called Tsukiko." When the monarch travels, the prince should stay behind, and if someone stays behind on his behalf, he should follow, and the retinue is called Fujun, and the one who stays behind is called the prison state, which is an ancient system. As for leading the division to go out, it is necessary to have special military talents to be competent; giving orders is the duty of the monarch and the secretary of state: neither is the prince's business. The army is to obey the general's orders, if the prince insists on obeying the king's orders, he will lose the majesty of the commander; if he holds the military order alone and is not filial to the king, so the heir of the monarch cannot command the army, and the prince will lose his share of the army, and there is no prestige, how to do it? Jin Xiangong said, "I have several sons, and I don't know who I will make crown prince." Rick retreated without a word and went to see Prince Shensheng. Prince Shensheng said, "Will I be abolished?" Rick said, "Prince work hard!" The king ordered you to lead the army, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his duties, so why would he abolish you? Besides, you are only afraid of filial piety, don't be afraid of not succeeding to the throne. If you are strict with yourself and do not blame others, you can be saved from danger. So Crown Prince Shensheng took charge of the army, and Jin Xiangong asked him to wear different side clothes on the left and right, and wear Jin Jue. Rick tweeted that he was ill and did not follow Prince Shensheng. Crown Prince Shensheng then went on a crusade against Dongshan.
In 656 BC, Li Ji told the crown prince ShenSheng that The Duke of Jin had dreamed of his mother Qi Jiang and asked him to go to Quwo to make sacrifices, and when he returned, he would sacrifice the meat used for the sacrifice to the Duke of Jin. Crown Prince Shensheng then went to Quwo to sacrifice his mother Qi Jiang and offered the meat to the Duke of Jin. It happened that Jin Xiangong went out hunting at that time, so he put the gizzard meat in the palace. Li Ji secretly sent someone to put poison in the gizzard meat. After two days, Jin Xiangong returned from hunting, and the chef offered the gizzard meat to Jin Xiangong, who wanted to eat the meat. Li Ji stopped Jin Xiangong from the side and said, "The gizzard meat comes from afar, you should try it." "Then he gave the gizzard meat to the dog, and the dog died; and gave it to the servants in the palace to taste, and the servants died." Li Ji cried and said, "Why is the prince so cruel!" Even his father wanted to kill him to replace him, let alone everyone else? Besides, the father is old, and he is a man who will die sooner or later, and he can't wait to murder him! Then he said to Jin Xiangong, "The prince did this only because of me and Xi Qi." I hope that my mother and son will hide in other countries, or commit suicide early, and not let the mother and son be trampled by the prince in vain. Earlier you wanted to depose him, and I opposed you; now I know that I was very wrong in this matter. Prince Shensheng heard the news and fled to the new city of Quwo. Jin Xiangong was furious and killed Du Yuanqian, the teacher of Crown Prince Shensheng. Someone said to Prince Shensheng, "It was Li Ji who put the poison, so why didn't the prince explain the words?" Crown Prince Shensheng said, "My father is old, and without Li Ji, he sleeps restlessly and eats unwillingly." Even if it is explained to him clearly, it will cause him to be angry with Li Ji, which will not work. Someone else said to Prince Shensheng, "You can flee to other countries." Crown Prince Shensheng said, "Who will accept me if you run away with the notoriety of killing your father?" I killed myself. On December 14, Prince Shensheng committed suicide in the new city of Quwo.
After Crown Prince Shen's death, Zhong'er and Yiwu went to chaozhong, and someone said to Li Ji, "These two princes resent you for killing the prince in rumors." Li Ji was afraid, and then slandered the two princes to the Jin Dynasty, saying: "Shen Sheng poisoned the flesh, and both princes knew about it." When the two princes heard the news, they were frightened, and they fled to Puyi, and Yiwu fled to Quyi, and according to Quyi, personally garrisoned.
In 655 BC, Duke Xian of Jin was angry that his two sons did not quit and believed that they had the intention of rebellion, so he sent troops to attack Puyi. A eunuch named Bo Yan in Puyi forced Zhong'er to commit suicide quickly. The heavy ear escaped over the wall, and The bo chased after it, only to cut off the sleeve of the heavy ear. Heavy ears ran out to Zhai Guo. Duke Xiangong of Jin sent people to Quyi to attack Yiwu, and Qucheng was heavily defended and failed to capture it.
655 BC. Let us remember this seemingly ordinary year in history, because in the same year, the Duke of Qi Huan had just returned from the Alliance of Summoning Tombs and temporarily extinguished the ambition of the Chu state to advance north. At the same time, Baili Xi, who later let the Qin state dominate the west, also died because of the destruction of the motherland Yu Guo, and The two key figures who changed the entire history of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong'er and Bai Lixi, actually suffered such a similar fate in the same year
In 654 BC, Duke Xian of Jin dispatched Jia Hua and others to attack Quyi, and the people of Quyi fled. Yiwu prepares to flee to zhai. Ji Rui said, "No, the heavy ear is already there, you flee again, the Jin state will definitely transfer the army to conquer Zhai, the Zhai people are afraid of the Jin state, you will be in trouble, it is better to flee to the Liang state, the Liang state is close to the Qin state, the Qin state is strong, and after the death of the Jin jun, you can ask the Qin state to send you back to China." So he fled to Liangguo.
In the summer of 651 BC, the Duke of Qi Huan held a grand alliance meeting with various princes at Kuiqiu. Due to illness, Jin Xiangong was late, and before he reached Kuiqiu, he met Zaikong of the Zhou Dynasty. Zaikong said: "The Duke of Qi Huan became more and more arrogant, and did not cultivate moral government but invaded distant places, and the princes' hearts were uneven. You just don't want to participate in the league, and he can't tell jin what to do. Coupled with the fact that Jin Xianzheng was ill, he returned to Jin. When Jin Xiangong's illness worsened, he said to Xun Xi, "I regard Xi Qi as the heir, he is young, the ministers are not convinced, I am afraid that there will be disasters, can you support him?" Xun Xi said yes. What did Jin Xiangong say to use as a voucher? Xun Xi replied, "Even if you come back from the dead, I don't feel ashamed to be alive, this is the proof." So the Duke of Jin entrusted Xi Qi to Xun Xi. Xun Xi served as minister of state and presided over state affairs.
In September 651 BC, Duke Xiangong of Jin died. The princes competed for the throne, and the Jin dynasty was in chaos. Xi Qi was killed by Rick, and Xun Xi restored Zhuo Zi, the son of Li Ji's sister. Rick killed Zhuo Zi again, so he sent someone to zhai to meet Zhong'er, hoping to support him as king. He said, "How dare I return to China when my father disobeys my father's orders and runs away, and when my father dies and cannot serve the funeral according to his son's etiquette!" Or ask the doctor to change to another son. (It was when the prince was vying for the throne, and Zhong'er deduced the outcome of his return to China according to his own environment and strength, that is, to participate in the chaos and die in the chaos) The emissary returned to Rick, and Rick sent someone to liang to meet Yiwu. YiWu wanted to go back, and Lü Sheng and Hao Rui said, "There are still keli princes in China who come to you abroad, and it is difficult to make people trust." It is estimated that if you do not go to the Qin State and return to the Jin State with the help of the power of the powerful country, I am afraid that there will be danger. So Yiwu sent Hao Rui to bribe The Duke of Qin with a heavy gift, promising: "If you can return to China, you are willing to cede the Hexi region of the Jin state to the Qin state." And he sent another letter to Rick, saying, "If you can really become a king, I would like to seal the city of Fenyang to you." Duke Mu of Qin then sent troops to send Yiwu back to the Jin Dynasty. Duke Huan of Qi heard of the civil unrest in Jin and led the princes to the Jin state. The Qin army and Yiwu also arrived in the Jin kingdom, so the Duke of Qi Huan sent His companions to join the Qin people to send Yiwu to the Capital of Jin and establish him as the monarch of the state, in order to serve the Duke Hui of Jin.
In 650 BC, Duke Hui of Jin reneged on his promise and sent Pi Zheng to apologize to Duke Mu of Qin, saying, "I promised You Hexi at the beginning, and now I have the honor of returning to China to succeed to the throne." The ministers said, "The land is the land of the ancestors, and you have fled abroad, so why did you grant the land to the Qin state without authorization?" It's no use fighting with them, so I apologize to you. So there was no land ceded to the Qin state. Moreover, the Duke hui of Jin did not give the fenyang city to Rick, but instead seized his power.
In April 650 BC, King Xiang of Zhou sent His Father Of Zhou to visit Duke Hui of Jin with the State of Qi and the Grand Master of the State of Qin. Jin Huigong was still abroad because he was still abroad, and he was afraid that Rick would unite with external forces to launch a coup, so he gave Rick death. He said to Rick, "I can't succeed to the throne without you." Even so, you also killed two monarchs and a doctor, isn't it too difficult to be your monarch? Rick replied, "If you don't abolish the old monarch, how can you be ordained?" Want to kill me, can't find an excuse? But to say such a thing, I obey the order. So Rick Fu Sword committed suicide.
In 647 BC, a famine broke out in the Jin state, and the Duke Hui of Jin asked the Qin state to buy grain. Qin Mugong asked the doctor Baili Xi, and Bai Lixi said: "Natural disasters and epidemics can occur in all countries, and it is the morality of the country to rescue disasters and famines and to honor neighboring countries." It should be promised that the Jin state, so Qin Mugong sent a large number of ships to carry grain, and the ships transporting grain from the capital of the Qin state, Yongcheng, to the capital of the Jin state, were in an endless stream, which was called the "Battle of Panzhou" in history.
The Battle of Pan Boating
In 646 BC, the State of Qin suffered a famine and requested the State of Jin to buy grain. Duke Hui of Jin consulted with his courtiers, and The Grand Master Qingzheng said: "Relying on the strength of the Qin state to ascend to the throne, after which he reneged on his promise to cut off the land." When the Jin famine was, the Qin state still lent us grain, and now the Qin famine asks to buy the grain of the Jin state, give them that is, what is there to worry about? Also discuss! Jin Huigong's uncle Yu She said: "In previous years, heaven gave the State of Jin to the State of Qin, and the State of Qin did not know how to seize and lend us grain. Today, heaven has given the State of Qin to the State of Jin, how can the State of Jin disobey The Will of Heaven? Take the opportunity to attack them. "Duke Hui of Jin listened to Yu's plan and did not give the Qin state grain, but instead sent troops to attack the Qin state. Duke Mu of Qin was furious and also sent troops to attack the Jin state.
On 13 September 645 BC, Duke Hui of Jin and Duke Mu of Qin engaged in battle in Hanyuan. The horses in the chariot of the Jin Huigong were stuck in the mud and could not move, and the Qin army caught up with them and captured the Jin Huigong and brought him back to the Qin state. Qin Mugong prepared to kill Jin Huigong to sacrifice god. Jin Huigong's sister Mu Ji was the wife of Duke Mu of Qin, and she wept sadly in mourning clothes. Qin Mugong said, "You should be happy to catch Jin Huigong, but now you are like this." Moreover, I heard that when Mizi saw that Tang Shuyu had just been divided, he said, 'His descendants will surely prosper and prosper', and the Jin kingdom can be destroyed! So he allied with the Duke Hui of Jin in Wangcheng and promised to let him return to China. After returning to China, Duke Hui of Jin dedicated the land west of the Yellow River in the State of Jin to the State of Qin, which at that time had extended to the Eastward To the Yellow River. Saying to the people of the Jin Dynasty: "Although I was able to return to China, I did not have the face to see Sheji, or choose an auspicious day for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, and the minister discussed: "Heavy ears fled abroad, and most of the princes embraced and accepted him." "Jin Huigong wanted to send someone to Zhai Guo to kill Zhong'er. Heavy ear heard this news, hurry up and flee, now the State of Qi Xiang Guo Guan Zhong has just died, it is the time when there is a shortage of people may be able to seek development in the State of Qi, Heavy Ear with his own courtiers all the way to the State of Qi,
