During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Linggong reigned for less than a year, and was killed by his ministers for a bowl of turtle soup. What are the facts behind such an absurd cause of death? The Chu people offered turtles, and Zheng Linggong called out to the great supplement after seeing it! One day in 605 BC, someone in the Chu kingdom offered a large shrew to Zheng Linggongjin.
The shrew is the turtle, which is the largest of the freshwater turtles. After Zheng Linggong saw it, the good guy exclaimed that this was a great supplement, and quickly let the brother-in-law stew it. Coincidentally, on this day, Zheng Guo's grand master Gongzi Song and Gongzi Guisun went to see Zheng Linggong together. The two were walking on the road, Gongzi Song's index finger suddenly trembled (probably a nerve problem, it is recommended to look at the medical center), he asked Gongzi Guisun to look at his trembling index finger, and said: "Once my index finger moves, it means that I will be able to taste new and delicious dishes today!" Gongzi Guisun smiled and suggested that he go to the medical hall with two pairs of herbs.
As a result, as soon as they entered the palace, the two saw Zaifu slaughtering a turtle that was larger than a human. Gongzi Song smiled when he saw it, and said triumphantly, "Sure enough! ”。 Gongzi Guisun also laughed. After entering the temple, the two men were still laughing. When Zheng Linggong saw this, he asked them why they were laughing. Gongzi Guisun told Zheng Linggong about gongzi Song's index finger shaking on the road, and then predicted that he would be able to eat delicious things today. Zheng Linggong didn't say anything after hearing this, but in his heart, he made up his mind and prepared to kill Gongzi Song's proud face. After some small talk, the turtle soup was also boiled. Zheng Linggong then told the gongqing doctors in the court that they would each taste a bowl of turtle soup later.
The gongqing doctors called out to Xie En, imagining in their hearts how delicious the stewed soup would be for such a large turtle. Gongzi Song smiled and said to the officials on the left and right: "It won't be wrong! You can't go wrong! Once the old man's index finger moves! The food you taste must be delicious! Everyone will eat and drink together! As a result, the palace people who divided the soup were divided one by one, but they did not stay in front of Gongzi Song. After smelling the fragrance, the roundworms all ran out of the palace and Gongzi Song hurriedly asked the palace people: "What?" I haven't yet! ”。 The answer was, "The king said he wouldn't give you a drink." Gongzi Song was confused, he looked at the people next to him after tasting the turtle soup and shouted delicious, but the whole audience was the only one who did not. He felt humiliated.
Obviously, this was Zheng Linggong deliberately teasing this doctor who liked to show off the uncertain prophet. Don't give soup to drink? Well, you don't want to drink it later! The embarrassed Gongzi Song began to become angry, and he went straight to the top of the boiling soup, dipped the turtle soup with the index finger that had been trembling before, sucked it and whisked it away. My heart began to think about revenge for this. Gongzi Song found Gongzi Gui and secretly murdered Zheng Linggong, but Gongzi Guisun said: "Even if the livestock raised are old, they cannot be easily killed, let alone the king of a country?" Although he did not get the help of Gongzi Guisun, in the summer of that year, Gongzi Song, who had been planning for a long time, still killed Zheng Linggong and avenged not giving the turtle soup to drink.
