The least powerful monarch in Chinese history

In 607 BC, the State of Chu gave Zheng Yi, the ruler of the State of Zheng, a large turtle,

Zheng Yi was hungry, so he asked the chef to stew the big turtle and eat it. Coincidentally, on that day, Zheng Song of the Gong clan led a group of people who wanted to enter Zheng Yi, and he felt his index finger moving on the road, so he happily said to the people around him:

"Every time the King wants to reward me with mountain treasures and seafood, my index finger will move, and it seems that today we have another blessing."

After arriving at the palace, Zheng Song and his party did see a chef killing a big turtle, and everyone thought that Zheng Song guessed correctly, so they laughed together. At this time, Zheng Yi came, and seeing that these people were laughing so happily, he asked, "What are you so happy about?" ”

Someone replied:

"Junshang, Gongzi Song said that if his index finger moves, there will be delicious food today." Now I saw Junshang slaughtering the big turtle, and sure enough, it was as Gongzi Song expected. ”

If you are an ordinary person, after listening to it, you will laugh it. However, after Zheng Yi listened, his heart was very unhappy. It turns out that Zheng Yi is a stingy ghost and does not like to share his food with others. Zheng Yi thought in his heart at that time, you Zheng Song want to eat my turtle, dream! I won't give you food today, and I won't be able to move after looking at your index finger!

After the turtle was stewed, Zheng Yi set up a banquet in the palace, and divided the large turtle soup into several bowls for the ministers present to eat, but did not give Zheng Song a bowl. Looking at the people around them chewing on the turtle meat with relish, Zheng Song's heart was on fire, if I can't eat the turtle today, it wouldn't be too faceless. So, in spite of the etiquette, he dipped his fingers into the turtle soup, then put it in his mouth and sucked it before throwing his sleeve away. (ZiGong was angry, touched Yu Ding, and tasted it.) This is where the term "infected" comes from. )

Zheng Song's rudeness made Zheng Yi angry, and he actually decided to find a way to kill this guy. Unexpectedly, When Zheng Song heard the wind, he took the initiative and launched a coup d'état to kill Zheng Yi first, and then let Zheng Yi's younger brother Zheng Jian become the new monarch. Zheng Jian is Zheng Xianggong.
