After Crown Prince Shensheng was killed by Li Ji, he extended the butcher's knife to Heavy Ear and Yi Wu. Zhong'er was the later Duke Wen of Jin, and Yiwu was the later Duke Hui of Jin, both of whom were a mountain in front of Li Ji's son Xi Qi and had to be removed. At the instigation of Li Ji, Jin Xiangong forced them to be cornered, and the brothers lived in exile.
Originally, Zhong'er had the opportunity to end the exile as soon as possible and return to the country to inherit the throne, but out of the consideration of political strength, he decided not to give up the throne and continue to wander. Exactly nineteen years later, with the support of his ministers, He returned to China to take the throne.
The exile of The Duke wen of Jin, on the surface, is a dispute over the heirs within the public office, but behind it is actually the consequence of the competition between the new clan forces after the demise of the public forces.
Two histories of exile of Duke Wen of Jin
Jin Wengong lived in exile for nineteen years, and although the time was continuous, it could actually be divided into two different stages. The first stage lasted five years from his escape from the Jin dynasty at the age of forty-one to the ascension of the Duke Hui of Jin to the throne. The second stage began with the ascension of Duke Hui of Jin to his return to China to overthrow Duke Huai of Jin and take the throne.
Duke Wen of Jin had an older brother named Shen Sheng, who was then the crown prince. The problem lies in the fact that Jin Xiangong is too fond of Li Ji, and Li Ji's courage is spoiled, and he is bent on killing Shen Sheng and pushing his son Xi Qi to the position of prince. So this woman manipulated right and wrong, designed to frame, as a result, the misunderstanding between Jin Xiangong and Prince Shensheng became deeper and deeper, and finally led to Shen Sheng being forced to commit suicide! After Shen's death, Li Ji was worried that the two elderly sons, Heavy Ear and Yi Wu, would become an obstacle to Xi Qi, so she took out the strength to cut the grass and remove the roots, and extended her claws to Heavy Ear and Yi Wu. This is why heavy ears went into exile for the first time.
Li Ji
After five years in exile, The Jin Dynasty was consecrated, and Xi Qi ascended to the throne as he wished. Unfortunately, before he could finish his father's funeral, he was killed by the ministers Rick and Pi Zheng's father!
After Xi Qi's death, his younger brother, Zhuo Zi, the son of Li Ji's sister, took the throne. Zhuo Zi also suffered the same fate as Xi Qi, Rick swung the butcher knife again, and Zhuo Zi followed his father and brother.
When the throne was vacant, Rick and the others threw an olive branch to the exiled heavy ear, and the heavy ear refused, saying: "The father's order is to run, and the father must not serve the funeral of the son of man when he dies, how dare the heavy ear enter!" The Doctor is even more angry. ”
In this way, the god of luck patronized Yiwu for the sake of Jin Huigong. After Jin Huigong ascended the throne, he did not sympathize with his brother Chong'er, who had sympathy for the same disease, but made it worse, and continued to pursue the policy of hunting and killing during the Jin Dynasty, causing Chong'er to run around the country, wander around, suffer hardships, and wander from the age of forty-six to sixty-one.
Plus the previous five years, a total of nineteen years!
Why did Duke Wen of Jin give up the throne?
The question is, after Zhuo Zi was killed, Duke Wen of Jin had the opportunity to return to China to become the monarch, so why did he give up? Obviously, the reason for the so-called unfilial piety is only an excuse. The real reason is one: the heavy ear can't sit still at all, and the throne is actually a mountain of swords!
Look at the court of the Jin Dynasty at that time, after the death of the Jin Dynasty, two consecutive monarchs were killed, even Li Ji was sucked alive, the murderers were at large, and the treatment of the monarch was not as good as that of the common people! Can heavy ears sit firmly on the throne?
Jin Xian Gong
Some people say that it is because Li Ji is unpopular, and it is right to have a heavy ear as a concubine. Not necessarily! The five sons of Duke Xian of Jin, out of five different women, it should be said that there are only two concubines, one is Shen Sheng, and the other is Xi Qi.
Don't forget, Li Ji has been made a lady by Jin Xiangong, that is to say, Xi Qi is actually the authentic successor, the succession to the throne is legal and reasonable, and Yiwu's ascension to the throne is illegal! Therefore, history cannot be trusted. Admittedly, all the evils began with Li Ji killing Shen Sheng. Morally, Li Ji should be condemned, but after Shen's life and death, Xi Qi's status is unquestionable! However, why did Rick risk the world and rush to kill Xi Qi, not even giving his father time to finish the funeral? Because Rick and Pi Zheng's father are "princelings", Xi Qi cannot represent their interests!
What about heavy ears? Heavy Ear is only a bet between Rick and Pi Zheng's father, after all, Shen Sheng is dead and can only bet separately. He weighed the Korean and Chinese forces and felt that he was not yet their opponent and could not listen to them. Then the answer is very clear, either go back to being a puppet or go back to being a fish on the board!
Therefore, heavy ears can only give up! Continue to "travel around the world"!
Behind the exile was actually a period of transition in the political direction of the Jin Dynasty
Another question arises, why is the Jin State so chaotic? Where did the powerful clan forces go during the Spring and Autumn Period? Why not come out and preside over the big picture?
This question is the root! The clan of the Jin Dynasty was almost killed by the Jin Dynasty and its predecessor monarchs, and there was no such thing as a clan power!
We know that spring and autumn is a society based on the patriarchal system, and the power of the monarchs of the princely states is inseparable from the support of the forces of Qing Dafu. Qing Dafu is actually the uncles and brothers of the monarch, and the forces they form are called the clan forces.
Marquis of Jin
However, the Jin dynasty was more special, they used Xiaozong to "commit rebellion" instead of Dazong to win the country. This matter goes back five generations, starting from the Marquis of Jinmu, the Marquis of Jinmu had two concubines, the eldest son was the later Marquis Wen of Jin, and the second son was called Chengshi, according to the patriarchal system, he was sealed Quwo, so Chengshi was called "Quwo Huan Uncle" by later generations.
Uncle Qu Wohuan was virtuous and talented, and there were many people who were attached, but the great sect of the Jin Dynasty gradually declined because the monarch was not a tool. The smaller the Quwo system grew, the larger the larger the operation, the smaller the operation. When Ji Gui, the grandson of Uncle Quwo Huan, finally Xiaozong replaced Emperor Dazong, and Ji claimed to be the monarch, which was the Duke of Jinwu. Duke Wu of Jin was the father of Duke Xian of Jin.
After the Jin Dynasty ascended the throne, in order to prevent the following crimes from occurring in later generations, he inherited his father's policy and would use butcher knives against the sons of the clan: "The clans of Jin Huan and Zhuang are forced to sacrifice the public to suffer." Shi Bao said, "If you go to the rich son, then the princes of the group can also be plotted." "Let's try it." 'Shi Lang conspired with the princes of the crowd, and the rich son went away. Jin Shilang also conspired with the princes of the group to kill the second son of the You clan. Shi Lang told the Marquis of Jin: "Yes. But in two years, the king will be fine. ’”
After the massacre, the Duke of Jin completely resolved the possibility of clan rebellion. But at the same time, it also raises the question: without the power of the clan, who will protect the monarchy? Clan forces also have their positive significance, who will replace them?
Xinxing Shi clan this is the choice of Jin Xiangong, who quickly promoted Shi Huang, Xun Xi, Li Ke, Hao Rui, Guo Yan and others to cultivate their power as escorts of the monarchy. That is to say, the Jin Dynasty is actually a transition period from the politics of clan forces with blood relations to the politics of non-blood clan forces.
Jin Wengong
However, the new shi clan is not rooted, not as strong as the clan, which leads to the fact that the power of the clan is actually very average and chaotic, and behind each prince, there is a large group of clan classes. For example, behind Shen Sheng, there are Li Ke, Pi ZhengFu, Du Yuanqian, etc.; behind Xi Qi there are Xun Xi, Dongguan Wu, Liang Wu, etc.; behind Yi Wu there are Lü Province, Xi Rui, etc.; behind the heavy ears there are Fox Yan, Zhao Wan, Qianjie, Wei Li, Xu Chen, etc.
In short, the political power of the Jin dynasty was "operated by oligarchs" by the clans, and to the era of "free competition" of the warriors. This is the root of the chaos of the Jin state, no prince can achieve "what everyone wants", so there are two consecutive monarchs killed, so there is a Jin Huaigong who can't sit still and is replaced by the Jin Wengong, so there is a heavy ear that would rather go into exile than step into the thunder pool for half a step!
Nineteen years later, why can the heavy ear be on the throne? First, in the international arena, the father and son of The Duke of Jinhui and the Duke of Jinhuai offended the powerful neighbor Qin State; second, the Duke of Jinhuai had no way, killed the Fox Turks, pushed a large number of scholars to the side of the heavy ear, and even Lü Province and Xi Rui turned against each other. It was with the support of this group of new scholars that The Heavy Ear turned over and achieved a great period of Jin Wen gong hegemony!
This is the truth of the nineteen years of exile of the Heavy Ear!
