Speaking of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Zhuanggong was one of them, but his life in the early days was not smooth, the reason is that although he is the eldest son, his mother does not trust him and has always chosen to spoil his brother, but fortunately, his father did not change his trust in him, or he was very carefully cultivated, and also used it as an heir to help him take care of state affairs, which also made up for the situation that his mother did not attach importance to him or even disliked him, in this case, Zhuang Gong also got a better education , so in terms of character and talent, it is fully capable of holding the position of monarch.
After being valued by his father, he became a ruler very smoothly, and the overall development of the country under his guidance was also very impressive, and his mother was initially unhappy when she knew that he had become the ruler, because she favored the younger son and used him as the future successor to the power, but the husband had passed the position to the eldest son, and in this situation, it could only be expected that the eldest son would not hold a grudge against the two of them, and the final situation could be seen that the Duke Zhuang not only did not retaliate, but showed a very tolerant attitude But this kind action also made his brother more aware of his desire to seize power.
After he became the monarch, his mother repeatedly asked him to give his brother some land, and chose a very good piece of land, in this case, Zhuang Gong considered that it might have a bad impact on the overall security of the country, so he did not agree, but under the repeated requests of his mother, he could only give a fief to his brother, this fiefdom was a city with a large population in the country at that time, and it was very developed in both trade and economy, which also proved that his mother still valued his young son very much. Still want to give him the best in everything, and do not consider the idea of the eldest son at all, even if the eldest son has become the monarch now, which makes the younger son more indulgent.
Not only did he often show off on the street with a well-dressed army, but also under the long-term cultivation of arrogance, he wanted to seize more power in the hands of his brother, he delegated notices to make his military strength richer, and at the same time carried out strict training, and the mind that wanted to seize power in his heart was known at a glance, but all this was also seen by Zhuang Gong, who chose to be patient for a long time, and defeated it with stronger troops when his brother really launched an attack. Not only did he take back the fiefdom, but also the public opinion of the war with his brother was on his side, so that the people saw the conspiracy of this person who wanted to rebel, and he finally won the hearts of the people with the help of forbearance.
