1. The definition of "rebellion" in "Spring and Autumn"
However, the Spring and Autumn scriptures do not have this article, and the Spring and Autumn Dinggong Thirteenth Year does have two articles: "Autumn, Jin Zhao Martingale entered Jinyang to rebel", "Winter, Jin Xunyin and Shiji shot into Chaoge to rebel". The behavior of Zhao Ji and The Guests involved was not characterized as "rebellion.".
Is it because Zhao Ji and the guests are not qualified enough, so "Spring and Autumn" has not been evaluated? Personally, I don't think so.
As long as we analyze it, we can find that it is really difficult to call Zhao Ji's and the behavior of the guests "rebellious."
First, the so-called treason is treason.
Zhao Ji and Xiangbin only opposed Zhao Martin, but did not obey Zhao Martin's instructions, and the Zhao clan and the Handan clan were no longer one in the legal sense, and Zhao Martin did not command the power of the Handan clan, let alone the power to use the "family law" to execute such a state minister as Zhao Wu without authorization.
Second, the Handan clan still has two powerful patrons in the Jin dynasty, the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, and there is no need or appropriate for them to openly treason, otherwise it will be difficult for the Fan and Zhongxing clans to provide any defense and support for themselves in the court.
Therefore, the so-called "rebellion" here should actually be that Zhao Ji and Shi Bin took the following three measures:
First, zhao martingale was formally informed that the two families had severed all kinship and lodged a strong protest; second, they filed a complaint with the imperial court and asked the monarch to punish Zhao Martin for the crime of killing the state minister without permission; third, and most importantly, immediately informed the Fan and Zhongxing clans of the situation, discussed countermeasures, and asked them to "speak out for themselves" and provide armed support if necessary.
Therefore, behind the simple account of "Zuo Biao", there is actually a complex and significant lawsuit hidden.
In Jin Dinggong's view, the two parties to the lawsuit are a secretary of state and a doctor, and for the sake of the overall situation of the country, he chose to support Zhao Martin, and the reason is naturally easy to find:
First, Zhao Martin was in charge of eastern foreign affairs, and Zhao Wu had the obligation to obey; second, after all, there was a de facto blood relationship between the Zhao and Handan clans, and Zhao Martin's murderous behavior was also extenuating.
2. Overturn the case
In fact, at present, the Handan side does not need to worry too much about the coming of the national army to encircle and suppress it; the Qin who led the troops this time is precisely the cronies and sworn enemies of the Zhongxing family, and naturally will not attack with real swords and guns, and send Qin to come, which is naturally the result of xun yin and Shi Ji's efforts. At the same time, the Fan and Bocchian families categorically refused to send their own troops and horses to participate in the "encirclement and suppression" of Handan, and they continued to fight the lawsuit and launched a strong political offensive against Zhao Martin.
According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, "the one who started the disaster died", and the first to launch a treason was punished as a capital offense. The goal of Xun Yin and Shi Ji's struggle was to characterize Zhao Martin as the "initiator" of this civil strife, and then justifiably put him to death.
In the lawsuit, Xun Yin and Shi Ji were very reasonable and courageous reasons, and Zhao Martin's private killing of Zhao Wu without asking the monarch could not be explained as an internal affair of the family in any case. The "Spring and Autumn" called Zhao Martin a "traitor", and the important basis was that zhao wu was arrested and executed without permission, and even Confucius in the state of Lu thought so, so it can be seen that there is nothing to argue about this matter.
At first, Jin Dinggong supported Zhao Martin and sent troops to besiege Handan, mostly out of the consideration of national stability and legal "accommodation". But now the situation is different: Zhao Martin's opposition faces stand in front of the two major families of Fan and Zhonghang, Xun Yin is Zhao Wu's maternal uncle, and Shi Ji is Xun Yin's children's family, and such a close relationship makes it impossible for them not to be resolute.
In Jin Dinggong's view, in the current balance of forces, Zhao Martin is one to two in the inferior position, and it is obviously paradoxical in law, and in the face of this situation, it is really difficult for Dinggong to adhere to the original position. And once the previous "judgment" was changed and Zhao Wu was declared to be a rebellion, it meant that a verdict of killing Zhao Martin was to be made, and such a determination was also very difficult to determine the public.
At present, the lawsuit may not be over, and Dinggong may not have made a final statement, but the facts show that the litigation situation is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Zhao Martin. Dinggong may have expressed his support for Xun Yin and Shi Jijie, either explicitly or implicitly, but he had not made a final decision.
Zhao Martin's side naturally felt the pressure, and there were indications that the Xun Yin and Shi Ji families were already fighting fiercely, and there was a possibility of launching an armed attack on the Zhao family at any time.
Dong Anyu got the news and hurried to find Zhao Martin: "Fan and the Bank of China are preparing to start, we still have to make preparations earlier." Zhao Martin was still very confident: "According to the law of the Jin Dynasty, the one who started the disaster dies, and the first thing they do is the one who starts the disaster, it is a capital crime, and then we can fight back." ”
Obviously, Zhao Martin is still insisting that his execution of Zhao Wu is completely an enforcement of the family law, reasonable and legal, and it is difficult to constitute the "initial disaster", but the current situation is different, once the monarch determines that the execution of Zhao Wu is illegal, Zhao Martin will become the first rebel, Xun Yin and Shi Ji will attack again, that is, to enforce the national law, where is there any "original disaster" crime?
Dong Anyu continued to exhort: "Once you start to move, it will inevitably be the people who will be ruined and the country will suffer." Today's plan, you put all the responsibility on me, just say that it is my idea to kill Zhao Wuquan, and the imperial court will execute me at most, so that the civil war can be avoided. Asking Zhao Wu to hand over 500 hostages of Wei Guo, and later executing Zhao Wu, may really be Dong Anyu's idea for Zhao Martin, which is also completely out of the interests of the Zhao family, did not expect things to turn out like this, Dong Anyu asked himself to bear it, one is for the safety of Zhao's safety, but also may be out of guilt - after all, Zhao Martin listened to his own words to make this. However, to sacrifice Dong Anyu, Zhao Martin was willing to give up and resolutely not to rely on it.
3. The Siege of Jinyang
Xun Yin and Shi Ji shot this side, seeing that the litigation situation had gradually become clear, the monarch seemed to have acquiesced: Zhao Martin's execution of Zhao Wu privately was illegal, for rebellion, but he could not make up his mind to deal with it. The two no longer wanted to listen to Ding Gong's vague words, and everything was ready.
In July, Xun Yin and Shi Ji gathered two families and horses and launched a fierce attack on Zhao Martin's capital city, but Zhao Martin was unable to resist, so he had to flee to his old lair, Jinyang, in a hurry, and desperately defended.
This attack on the Zhao mansion was soon considered legitimate by Jin Dinggong, and perhaps the two had already shown up to Dinggong before they started, and Dinggong saw that it was inevitable to dispose of Zhao Martingale, so he nodded. In any case, the attacks by Xun Yin and Shi Ji were considered to be government acts in nature, while Zhao Martin first executed the minister of state privately and then fled to a fiefdom— also a territory of the state— to resist, both of which were treasonous. Therefore, the Jin state dispatched the national army to besiege Jinyang.
The besieging army is well looking for:
Now that Zhao Wu had been identified as a victim, the Handan family was naturally innocent, and the Qin troops who were besieging Handan just turned around to besiege Jinyang, and perhaps the army and horses of the Handan clan immediately joined forces with the Qin and actively went out on a campaign. If the Qin siege of Handan is a bluff, then the current siege of Jinyang is naturally a real knife and a real gun. The "nationalist army" built a fortress around Jinyang, a wall to prevent a breakthrough or counterattack in the city, and immediately began to attack the city, and the situation in Jinyang suddenly became critical.
4. The second reversal of the case
The occasion of the momentary transformation of joy, gain and loss, misfortune and death is called the stage, and now the Jin Kingdom has become a real and vivid stage.
At present, Xun Yin and Shi Ji can be described as raising their eyebrows: the two deal with a Zhao Martin, the balance of power is two to one, and they have won the support of the monarch, taking full advantage of politics and military. However, after the Yellow Bird was there, there were still three families in the Jin Dynasty, Name, Wei, and Han, and seeing this lively drama, these three families of course couldn't help but perform on stage.
In the previous series of activities, Xun Yin naturally did not consult with the ruling Xun Ji, the two people were already political enemies who hated each other, and Xun Yin's success, of course, made Xun Yin look uncomfortable. Although it was originally a family, today, if Xun Shu chose to get rid of one of the other five families, he would not hesitate to choose the Zhongxing clan, firstly because he hated Xun Yin, and second, Xun Shu liked a doctor named Liang Baofu very much, in addition to the Zhonghang clan, the country could vacate a secretary position, arrange for Liang Bao's father to go up, and his position in the Jin kingdom would be more stable in the future.
Looking at the situation in front of him, han was also angry. The Han and Zhao families are family friends, seeing that the Zhao family is dying, the Han family naturally has the worry of cold lips and teeth; moreover, the relationship between Han and Xun Yin is tense, which is also the resentment left by the ancestors, the happier Xun Yin is, the more uncomfortable It is for Han to believe.
There is also Wei Manduo, and Shi Ji is also a very red political enemy, and he is not willing to let things continue to develop according to the current trend. Shi Ji also had an internal enemy: Fan Gaoyi. Although this Fan Gaoyi was a member of the Fan clan, he was very unhappy in Shi Ji She, and he always thought of creating chaos in the family and then replacing him. At the moment, Shi Ji Was busy dealing with Zhao Martin, and Fan Gaoyi was not only reluctant to contribute, but also secretly moving around, busy dealing with Shi Ji.
If the war ended quickly and the Zhao clan was quickly destroyed, perhaps Xun Yin and Shi Ji would really laugh to the end. But Zhao Martin's persistence in Jinyang won a turnaround for himself: for a long time (it was now the winter of 497 BC), the bad interpersonal relations between Xun Yin and Shi Jizhao in the Jin Kingdom had caused them to suffer a great loss.
Now, the five people mentioned above—Xun Shu, Han Wuxin, Wei Manduo, Liang Infant Father, and Fan Gaoyi—have finally come together, and an agreement to change the fate of several families and even the entire Jin dynasty has finally been reached:
(1) Declare that Xun Yin and Shi Ji have plotted rebellion and expel them from the country;
(2) After the incident, the Jin state maintained the Liuqing system unchanged, with Liang Infant's father replacing Xun Yin and Fan Gaoyi replacing Shi Jizhao;
(3) Han did not believe and Wei Manduo advocated the restoration of Zhao's position (Xun Did not seem to have made a clear statement on this).
After the deliberation was completed, xun shu led him out to face Princess Zhang of Jinding: "You have ordered the ministers: The one who started the disaster is dead, and the book of orders is still sunk in the Yellow River (the book of the league is in duplicate, one is hidden in the league house, and one is buried in the ground or sunk in the river, so as to believe in the gods and ghosts).
In this incident, Zhao Martin, Xun Yin, and Shi Ji were all the perpetrators of the disaster, but only Zhao Martin was expelled, and such a punishment was unfair. Now please order that all three people be expelled! ”
Xun's words naturally made Ding Gong stunned: Whether such a characterization is legal and whether it is strong or not is still secondary, the key is that the six Qing clans must drive out three at once, is this appropriate? Is this possible? --But Dinggong has no choice, vetoing the opinions of the three families and supporting the other two, the risk factor is obviously higher, besides, the relationship between Xun Shu and Dinggong is also extraordinary.
Therefore, the final verdict was made, and Zhao, Fan, and the Bank of China were all rebels and were all punished!
