In the thirtieth year of King Xiang of Zhou (622 BC), the Jin state experienced an unprecedented great shock, and within a year, the four old ministers of the Chinese army general Xianheju, the Chinese army Zuo Zhao Wan, the Shangjun general Luan Zhi, and the Shangjun Zuo Xuchen all died, and the court was empty. In order to rebuild the court, the Duke of Jin Xiang prepared to hold a ceremony again and adjust the position of the secretary.
In the original plan, The Duke of JinXiang wanted to abolish the new Shangjun and the new Xiajun, restore the system of three armies and six secretaries, and promote the representative shi of the old noble secretaries as the general of the middle army, Liang Yi'er as the general of the middle army, Ji Zhengfu as the general of the army, and Xiandu as the shangjun zuo, leaving only the two positions of the lower general and the lower army of the Qing family, a close confidant of the Duke wen of Jin at that time. However, under the advice of Hu Zhigu (son of Hu Yan), Zhao Dun (son of Zhao Wan), Xian Ke (son of Xian and Ju), Luan Dun (son of Luan Zhi), Xu Jia (son of Xu Chen), and other close descendants of Qing Shi (Luan Dun was not a descendant of the jin Wen Gong's loyal family, but had always been closely related to the emerging nobles), the Duke of Jin Changed his original plan, and after the abolition of the new Shangjun and the new Xia army, in April of the thirty-first year of the Zhou Xiang King (621 BC), the Position of Liu Qing was readjusted: with Fox Shoot Gu as the General of the Chinese Army, Zhao Dun as the Commander of the Chinese Army, and Zhao Dun as the Commander of the Chinese Army. Xian Ke was the General of the Shangjun, Father Ji Zheng was the General of the Shangjun, Father Xun Lin was the General of the Lower Army, Xian contempt was the General of the Lower Army, and Zhao Dun of the Chinese Army was also the ruling doctor.
In Yi Zhibao, the Luan family lost the position of secretary because of Luan Zhi's death and the court balancing technique of the Duke of JinXiang, and Luan Dun, the second head of the Luan family, even if he actively echoed the request of XianKe and others, could only serve as an ordinary doctor, and failed to maintain luan Zhi's position as a secretary before his death. However, these are temporary, and the Luan clan will revive in the future and restore the glory of the family.
Yi Zhigu had just ended, and the position of lieutenant general of Fox Shooting Gu was not yet hot, and Duke Xiang of Jin, under the advice of his teacher and father of Fu Yang, the Taifu Yang of the Jin Dynasty, transferred him to the position of Zhao Dun of the Chinese army, with Zhao Dun as the general of the Chinese army and the ruling doctor, and the fox shooting gu was changed to the position of Chinese army commander. Zhao Dun thus became the first Chinese general and ruling doctor of the Jin Dynasty, that is, Zhengqing (all the Chinese generals before Zhao Dun were not also ruling doctors), and the military power and governance power of the Jin State were unified.
It was also after this adjustment that the Fox clan and the Zhao clan, which were originally harmonious, turned against each other, and brought the first infighting between the secretaries and soldiers to the Jin state in the future. And Luan Shi, in a series of follow-up reactions brought about by this infighting, will gain benefits and smoothly enter the court.
In August of the thirty-first year of King Xiang of Zhou (621 BC), less than half a year after the readjustment of the Jin dynasty, Jin Xianggong, the lord of the generation of magnanimity and benevolence, died of illness, and before his death, he left Zhao Dun as the prince of Zhengqing to "establish prince Yigao as a king, stabilize the court, and maintain the hegemony of the Jin state."
After the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, Zhao Dun summoned all the Qing doctors to discuss the establishment of a new monarch. Although The Duke of Jin Xianggong wanted Zhao Dun to make Prince Yigao the new king, Zhao Dun considered that Yigao was young (only three years old), and if he established such a young monarch, I was afraid that xi Qi and Zhuo Zi would have the misfortune of that year. In a public heart, Zhao Dun was ready to abandon Yigao and select an elder from Xianggong's brothers to succeed to the throne and maintain national stability. The other Qing doctors did not object to Zhao Dun's proposal.
However, out of resentment and jealousy towards the Zhao clan (Zhao Dun replaced the position of general of the Hu clan), the Chinese army ZuoHu Jiegu deliberately opposed Zhao Dun, disagreeing with Gongzi Yong (zhao Dun's suggestion) standing in the Qin state, but instead asking for Gongzi Le to stand in the Chen state.
Zhao Dun did not like Gongzi Le, and wanted to fight back against the offense of fox shooting gu, so he unceremoniously rejected the suggestion of fox shoot gu and insisted on establishing Gongzi Yong. Because of the differences between the Zhao and Fox clans, li xinjun completely fell out and the relationship broke down. Zhao Dun preemptively sent his subordinate army Zuo Xianyi and Dafu Shihui to the Qin Kingdom to welcome Gongzi Yong back to China and inherit the throne. Not to be outdone, Fox Shooter Sent to chen guo to welcome Gongzi Le back to China and compete for the throne.
When Zhao Dun learned that The Fox Shooter was going to take Gongzi Le back to China, he was furious and immediately sent assassins to ambush Gongzi Le and his party, who were already on their way back to China, and kill them all. When Fox Shoot gu learned of the news, she was also furious and rushed to the crown, so she sent her clan member Hu Fengju to assassinate Zhao Dun's cohort and Yang's father who recommended Zhao Dun to replace his position as a general in the middle army as revenge for Zhao Dun.
After Yang's father was assassinated, Zhao Dun used the pretext of complaining to the states and informing the Duke of Jin of his death, and ordered the fox to shoot gu to send an envoy to Chi Di and move the tiger away from the mountain. As soon as the fox shooter's front foot left, Zhao Dun's back foot immediately struck, arrested the fox, and after strict interrogation, obtained a confession that the fox shooter had ordered the assassination of Yang's father, and then made the crime public, and then killed the fox.
When The Fox Shooter Gu learned that Zhao Dun had moved against the Fox Clan when she was in ChiDi, she was shocked and wanted to immediately return to the country to launch a crony to confront the Zhao Clan. However, the fox clan's forces and courtiers were all controlled by Zhao Dun, and the fox shooter was alone and could no longer launch chaos. In desperation, the fox shooter had to flee to the mother of the fox family, Zhai Guo, to avoid being pursued and killed by the Zhao clan.
After Zhao Dun defeated The Fox Shooter, in order to unite the other Qing clans in the country and minimize the negative impact of this court turmoil, he accepted it when he saw it, gave up continuing to hunt down the Fox Family, and took the initiative to send people to send the Fox Shooter's clan and family property to Zhai Guo and hand it over to the Fox Shooter.
Since then, the Fox family has been completely expelled from the Jin State, and the Fox Shoot Gu has been exiled in the Zhai Kingdom, the Lu State, and finally died in the Lu State. The prestigious Jinguo Fox Family became the first Jinguo Qing clan to be eliminated, and bid farewell to the magnificent Jin Dynasty.
When the Zhao and Fox clans produced the first infighting within the Jin dynasty, the Luan family, under the leadership of Luan Dun, learned from their father Luan Zhi's unbiased and unbiased approach when there was a conflict between the Duke of Jin and his two sons, Heavy Ear and Yi Wu, and did not openly take sides and support a certain party, so they were not involved in the dispute, and the family's interests were not damaged.
After the Fox clan was expelled from the Jin state, Zhao Dun completely grasped the military and political power of the Jin state, so he prepared to welcome Gongzi Yong back from the Qin state and inherit the throne according to the original plan. However, at the crucial moment, Mu Wei, the widow of Duke Xiang of Jin and the birth mother of Prince Yigao, suddenly changed her previous attitude of obscurity and indisputability with the world, and actually dressed in heavy filial piety and carried the swaddled prince Yigao, unexpectedly rushed to the court of the Jin Dynasty, making a big fuss about Zhao Dun and other secretaries, crying and saying that they had betrayed the last words of the former king, despised the Sheji of the Jin state, and were disloyal and filial to the rebels.
Zhao Dun, who was both irritable and ashamed by Mu Wei's sprinkling and rolling and stirring up trouble, was extremely embarrassed and could not forcibly drive away Lady Xianjun, so he gave up the discussion and ran back to his home to hide. However, after Mu Wei learned that Zhao Dun had hidden back to his home, he took the crown prince Yigao out of the palace in public and went to the door of the Zhao family to hold the prince and cry, and Zhao Dun could not, so he had to open the gate to let her in.
After seeing Zhao Dun, Mu Wei actually disregarded the etiquette and bowed to Zhao Dun, saying that the Duke of JinXiang had entrusted the prince to Zhao Dun, and if Zhao Dun did not make the prince a prince, then he would hand over the child to Zhao Dun and ask him to dispose of it himself. After saying that, he threw Prince Yigao to Zhao Dun, and he knelt down in the hall and continued to cry.
Zhao Dun, who was a General of the Chinese Army and a ruling doctor and the Secretary of jin Guozhengqing, had no way to do anything when facing Mu Wei's trickery. Moreover, Mu Wei's crying with such fanfare made jin xianggong's will before his death completely public, if Zhao Dun insisted on changing others, then his authority and reputation in the Jin state in the future would be greatly damaged, and the legitimacy and legitimacy of governing the country would also be questioned (Zhao Dun's original intention was to establish a long monarch to stabilize the society, but the people of the country would only see Zhao Dun violating the will of the former king and welcoming others).
In order to stabilize the foundation of future governance and maintain the legitimacy of future governance of the country, Zhao Dun, after some careful consideration, decided to abandon Gongzi Yong and announced that he would follow the will of The First Emperor Xianggong and make Crown Prince Yigao the new monarch.
At this time, half a year after the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, it was already February of the thirty-second year of King Xiang of Zhou (620 BC), and Crown Prince Yigao was finally able to succeed to the throne and become the twenty-fourth Marquis of Jin, the Duke of Jinling.
When Duke Ling of Jin succeeded to the throne, Gongzi Yong in the Qin State was still unaware of it, and was still preparing to return to China to succeed to the throne according to the plan, accompanied by the Jin Dynasty Grand Master Shihui (Xian Contempt had already returned to China ahead of schedule) who remained in the Qin State to serve Gongzi Yong and a large number of Qin troops. In order to eliminate the threat, Zhao Dun was determined to send troops to repel Gongzi Yong, whom he had previously supported, so he ordered the Shangjun general Ji Zhengfu to stay behind, and personally led the Chinese army Ofo Xianke, Shangjun Zuo Xunlin's father, and the Xiajun general Xianxuan (because fox shooters fled, so Zhuqing was promoted in order, xianyi was promoted to xiajun general), xiajun Zuoxian sent troops, ambushed at Liaopeng (Linyi, Shanxi), and then took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army and Gongzi Yong, who had already arrived at Linghu (southwest of Linyi, Shanxi). The Qin army, unguarded, was defeated by the Jin army and fled.
Gongzi Yong (and the attendants) who were secretly attacked by his own national army were inexplicably wrapped up in the defeated soldiers of the Qin State, and the Emperor fled from LingHu in a hurry and returned to the Qin State in a confused manner. After that, Gongzi Yong died in the Qin Kingdom, and he was not able to return to the Jin State until his death.
When the Battle of Linghu occurred, although the general Xian contempt was forced to lead the army to war against the Qin state because of his identity, he always felt that he was ashamed of Gongzi Yong in his heart, so he did not fight hard and deliberately let go of the Qin army. On the other hand, Xian Contempt was deeply sorry for the people of the Jin State because he was a subordinate general of the Jin State, but did not fight bravely for the Jin State.
Therefore, the day after the end of the Battle of Linghu, the ashamed Xian contempt handed over the command of the lower army to the clan and the subordinate Army Zuo Xiandu, and left the military camp alone, caught up with Gongzi Yong, who was in the retreat, and reported to Gongzi Yong the causes and consequences of the Battle of Linghu, and Gongzi Yong suddenly realized why he was ambushed by the Jin army.
After Xianyi fled, his position as a general was always vacant, and the jin state was initially established and the qin state was at war, and the country was at a critical moment when it needed to restore stability and maintain hegemony, and Zhao Dun, the secretary of the jin dynasty, was also planning to replace the Jin Linggong to preside over the alliance of the princes, so as to increase the power of the Zhao clan, so it was too late to rearrange the jin dynasty, and the position of the six secretaries of the Jin state was never replenished.
In the original Yizhi Dynasty, the Duke of Jin Xiang was originally to use the old nobles such as Hao Yu, Ji Zheng Father, Shi Yu, Liang Yi'er, and Xun Lin Father to enter the position of secretary of state to assist him in governing the country. However, due to the resolute confrontation and argument of the sons of the emerging nobles such as Xian Ke, Fox Shooting Gu, Zhao Dun, and Xu Jia, the Duke of Jin Xiang temporarily changed his mind, and finally made Fox Shoot Gu the General of the Chinese Army, Zhao Dun the Commander of the Chinese Army, Xian Ke the General of the Shangjun, Father Ji Zheng the General of the Shangjun, Father Xun Lin of the Lower Army, and Xian Contempt as the Commander of the Lower Army (after which Zhao Dun and the Fox Shooter Gu were replaced by the position and promoted to the rank of General of the Middle Army).
Among the six secretaries, the emerging nobles had four positions, while the traditional old nobles only had Ji Zheng's father received Shangjun Zuo and Xun Lin's father got the lower general (after that, because of the escape of Fox ShootingGu, Ji Zheng's father was promoted to general and Xun Lin's father was promoted to Shangjun Zuo). Therefore, between the old aristocracy and the new aristocracy, because of the distribution of power and interests of the court, there was a huge irreconcilable contradiction.
After the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, Zhao Dun used tough means to expel the Fox family from the Jin state, and changed the plan to make Gongzi Yong the new king, and established Yi Gao, the crown prince of Xianggong of Jin, as the new king. After that, Zhao Dun took the opportunity to grasp the actual ruling power of the Jin state, vigorously suppressed the old aristocratic clique, and promoted his hardcore supporter Xian Ke to the position of Zhongjun Zuo, replacing the Fox clan to help him grasp the military and political power of the Jin state, and Xian Ke was grateful to Zhao Dun and became Zhao Dun's first confidant.
During the Battle of Linghu, Xianke, who was a Chinese military commander, once punished Sima Kuide (the old nobles) of the Chinese army on the grounds of "not following military orders", depriving him of his fiefdom of Weiyin, and therefore had a grudge against Xianke, and colluded with the old nobles such as Ji Zhengfu, Dafu Liang Yi'er, and Shi Xuan, who were originally dissatisfied with the fact that the emerging nobles occupied most of the interests of the court, and prepared to take the opportunity to launch a rebellion, kill Xianke, Zhao Dun and others, and regain the lost power.
Zuo Xiandu, a subordinate of the Xian clan, was forced into exile in the Qin state because he was dissatisfied with the fact that his brother Xianchen was betrayed by Zhao Dun, and could not be promoted to a general for a long time, so he had great resentment towards the ruling Zhao Dun, and turned to the owner of the family, Xianke, who was also full of indignation (Xianke and Zhao Dun were dead parties). Therefore, Xiandu took the initiative to contact Ji Zhengfu, Liang Yi'er, Shi Yi and others, and joined the rebel group to oppose Zhao Dun and Xian Ke.
On the second day of the first lunar month of the first year of the first year of the Zhou Dynasty (618 BC), Xiandu, Ji Zheng's father, Shi Yu, Liang Yi'er, and Pu De, after a long period of planning, decided to launch a coup d'état to kill Zhao Dun and the Xianke party. They first invited Xian Ke to a banquet in the name of Xiandu, but XianKe did not guard against it, and as a result, on the way to Xiandu's house, liang Yi'er's courtiers disguised as Chi Di were assassinated in the city of Xiandu.
After the assassination of Xian Ke was successful, Xian Du, Liang Yi'er, and others wanted to directly send troops to attack Zhao Dun and Xian Ke's mansion, but Zhao Dun's mansion was heavily guarded and heavily garrisoned, and Liang Yi'er and others hesitated again and again, and did not dare to directly attack Zhao Dun's mansion, so they had to cancel the plan to attack Zhao Dun and prepare to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Dun.
After Xianke was assassinated by "Chi Di" in the city, Zhao Dun did not believe it, and immediately focused on the investigation, and found out the truth that Liang Yi'er sent his courtiers to assassinate Xianke. Zhao Dun immediately sent troops to surround the mansions of Xiandu and Liang Yi'er, captured them and imprisoned them, and tortured them severely.
On the eighteenth day of the first month of the first year of the reign of King Qing of Zhou (618 BC), xiandu and Liang Yi'er were sentenced by Zhao Dunming and killed by Zhao Dunming. Subsequently, Pu De, Ji Zheng's father, and Shi Yi were soon found to have been involved in the rebellion of Xian Du and Liang Yi'er, and they were interrogated and convicted.
On March 28, 618 BC, the assassination of Xianke was finally revealed, and Zhao Dun played the Role of The Linggong of Jin, dragging the rebellious Ji Zheng's father, Shi Yu, and Ku De into the execution ground and executing them publicly; this is the detailed process of the "Five Generals Chaos Jin" incident. After that, in the court of the Jin Dynasty, there were no more secretaries who openly opposed Zhao Dun.
In June of the first year of the Reign of Zhou (618 BC), after eliminating all his political enemies, Zhao Dun prepared to readjust the imperial court to maintain the stability of the country's political situation. In the original Liuqing, the Chinese army Zoxian Ke was assassinated, the Shangjun general Ji Zheng Father and the Xiajun Zuoxian were both killed, and the Xiajun general first despised the exile in the Qin State, except for Zhao Dun himself, the Chinese general, there was only one person left, zuo Xunlin's father, who acted cautiously and loyally.
Therefore, Zhao Dun promoted Xun Lin's father, who was the only surviving among the old nobles, and acted in a low-key and modest manner, as a symbol of unity and cooperation between the old and new nobles; and then took the absence of his confidant Hao as a general, Zhao's family minister Xiao Biao was temporarily appointed as Shangjun Zuo, and Xu Jia, an important member of the emerging nobility, was appointed as the subordinate military adjutant.
And the Luan clan among the old nobles, because they were sober and wise in all the chaos, did not participate in any serious battles, the current head of the Luan clan, Luan Dun, acted cautiously and low-key, and at the beginning actively echoed Xianke, and asked the Duke of JinXiang to reuse the emerging nobles in Yizhi, so in this personnel adjustment, Luan Dun finally entered Zhao Dun's sight, was appreciated and reused by Zhao Dun, and was able to serve as a general, the same position he held when his father Luan Zhi first entered the ranks of secretaries. The Luan clan also re-entered the Six Qings, restoring the identity of the top Qing clan of the Jin Dynasty and the glory of the family.
