In 620 BC, Duke Chenggong of Song died, and his brother Gongzi Yu killed Prince Chenggong and established himself as the monarch.
Gongzi Yu was a member of the Song Dynasty. A duke is a member of a family that is bred by the brothers of a monarch. Descendants of non-monarchs of the same country are natural allies and are often grouped into the same collective. The above-mentioned Gongzi Yu is the son of Song Xianggong, the brother of Song Chenggong, and belongs to the xianggong clan.
Because they are descendants of monarchs of different periods, members of the gong clan generally hold more or less land, population and power. Most of the time they assist the monarch in governing the country, but sometimes a few ambitious members will take the monarch's place.
Gongzi Yu was an ambitious member of the Gong clan, who killed his nephew and established himself as king. However, his disobedience was not accepted by most of the nobles and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty.
As a result, it was not long before Gongzi Yu was killed by the aristocratic bureaucrats of the Song State, and then they planned to install Gongzi Jiuusu, the younger son of Duke Chenggong of Song, as the monarch. The history is called Song Zhaogong
Song Zhaogong was frivolous and frivolous, and after seeing the usurpation of the prince with his own eyes, he wanted to kill all the princes who had the right to inherit the monarchy to prevent the possibility of their usurpation. Sima Leyu advised him not to do so, saying that these princes were all assistants of the government, and without them, their status would be unstable when they became monarchs. Song Zhaogong did not listen.
It was not easy for Song Zhaogong to kill the princes. Because these princes have the support of their respective public clans behind them, and these public clans are not weak, more or less have people serving in the court, and they are not rebellious and obedient.
Sure enough, these Gong clans did not sit still on the offensive against Song Zhaogong. Among them, the Mu gong and xianggong clans led the countrymen to attack Song Zhaogong. In this way, the gong clan and the gongfu fought fiercely in the palace of the Song Zhaogong. In the end, it should be Song Zhaogong who has the upper hand slightly.
When the qing masters of the Song Dynasty saw that there was endless fighting between the gongfu and the gong clan, they came out and said that they were with them, and Sima Leyu said that he could give up his position as Sima to Song Zhaogong's confidant Gongzi Jie. Therefore, the two sides of the gong clan and the public office temporarily truceed.
The next year, probably because the Xianggong clan had already turned to themselves, Song Zhaogong was rude to The Lady of Song Xianggong.
Lady Xianggong was the grandmother of Song Zhaogong according to her generation, and she was also the sister of King Xiang of Zhou, so she naturally would not tolerate Song Zhaogong's rudeness. She used the power of the Dai Gong clan to kill a number of Song Zhaogong henchmen, such as Uncle Kong, Gongsun Zhongli, and Sima Gongzi, of whom Kong Shu and Gongsun Zhongli were the grandsons of Duke Xiang of Song.
Song Zhaogong's party was severely damaged, but Song Zhaogong still went his own way and did not repent, so that the Qing doctors gradually lost patience with him.
At this time, Song Zhaogong's brother Bao Washong Washu Giving Grace, buying people's hearts and minds everywhere, and often went to the office of Dr. Qing to comfort a number of bureaucrats and members of the Gong clan who had a bad time in Zhou Ji's days.
Gongzi Bao's blatant expansion of his influence would naturally cause resentment among Song Zhaogong. However, because Lady Xiang of Song protected Gongzi Bao, Song Zhaogong, although dissatisfied, could only accept it. The reason why Lady Song Xianggong protected this Gongzi Bao was because Gongzi Bao was too handsome and beautiful, which made her fall in love.
After a few years like this, most of the Song Kingdom, from the Gong clan doctor to the ordinary people, supported Gongzi Bao. Song Zhaogong was gradually abandoned by the people of the country, and was finally attacked and killed by people sent by Lady Xianggong of Song when he went out hunting. After that, Gongzi Bao took the throne, and was known as the Duke wen of Song.
The frivolous and frivolous Song Zhaogong wanted to kill the princes because of the fear in his heart, so that he was on the opposite side of the Gong clan; then he unrepentantly and rudely put himself in a moral disadvantageous position by the high-ranking and respectable Lady Song Xianggong; and finally, when Gongzi Bao went around buying people's hearts, he still went his own way and refused to bow his head to close the hearts of the people who were about to disperse; so that in the end, he did not have the ability to resist Gongzi Bao's side and died at his hands!
