A love affair (Part 2)

Lu Huangong at the invitation of Qi Huangong to go to Nanshan to play, after the feast, on the way back suddenly died tragically in his carriage, this is the famous "Huan bus death" in history, the next people hurriedly reported this sudden change to Qi Xianggong, Qi Xianggong heard about Lu Hou's violent, naturally knew what was going on, couldn't help but blossom in his heart, secretly praised Peng Sheng for doing a beautiful job! He was happy in his heart, but on the surface he made a sad look, crying bitterly, and after a while, Wen Jiang got the message and cried loudly, lying on lu Huangong's corpse while crying and tearing his heart and lungs and shouting: Fu Jun, what is wrong with you, you wake up! Didn't you say that after swimming in Nanshan, you would go home together? How can this be? Woohoo... Due to excessive sadness, Wen Jiang cried and fainted several times, looking at his sister's grief-stricken look, Qi Xianggong's heart was full of mixed feelings, mixed tastes, and he wanted to persuade his sister but could not say a word, so he had to turn his face around.

Duke Xiang of Qi ordered that Duke Huanhou be buried in a coffin, and then sent envoys to the state of Lu to inform the people of the state of Lu, saying that your monarch was ill and could not be treated, that TaShilang was hanging in the state of Qi, and that you had hurried over to greet the funeral and take back the coffin of the monarch. Hearing that the king of the country had lost his homeland, and the lu state court was in chaos, waiting for those doctors who had sent an envoy to the state of Qi with the Duke of Lu Huan, the subordinates and attendants returned to China to prepare the details of the murder in the car of Lu Hou, and the subjects of the state of Lu were excited and threatened one after another: Qi Hou was rude and rude, and the king was harmed, and he was willing to fight to the death, crusade against the state of Qi, and shame on the monarch! Doctor Shen Xuan also secretly cried bitterly: "The monarch, the monarch, I advised you not to take Lady Wen Jiang with you to the country of Qi, but you did not listen to the advice, and as a result, you lost your life in the country of Qi, sad! Shen Xuan signaled everyone not to be impatient, and said: The kingdom cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the most important thing now is to establish the son of the world as the new monarch, and the worldly son will advocate the funeral, and when the coffin arrives, perform the rite of taking the throne. Then Shen Xuan asked the strategist Shi Bo: Qi Hou is so rude, can he raise an army to fight against the State of Qi? Shi Bo replied: "This is not a glorious thing, we Lu Hou let the family bring a green hat, and this green hat is not generally big, it is estimated to be so big", speaking, Shi Bo opened his hands, compared it in front of his chest, looked at it, may feel that it is not so big, and opened his hands outwards a little, felt almost, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Because they are brothers and sisters committing adultery, this kind of thing is not suitable for too much publicity, it is known to the world, and Qi Qiang lu is weak, we may not be able to beat people, If you don't know if you will be humiliated again, then we Lu Guo's joke will be big, for now, it is better to be patient, the so-called forbearance word has a knife on the head, we immediately repair the national letter, please Qi Xianggong to track down the murderer, according to everyone's suspicion, our prince is very likely to die at the hands of peng Sheng, a warrior of the state of Qi, then we will ask Qi Xianggong to kill Peng Sheng to give us Lu Hou to arrive, so that the death of the prince is more or less an account, to save a little face of our Lu country", the discussion stopped, and the doctor Shen Yu to the shizi was finished, Then Shi Bo wrote a letter to Duke Xiang of Qi with a pen in Shen Xuan's tone, and sent envoys to the State of Qi to send a letter to the funeral.

When the envoys of the State of Lu came to the State of Qi and met with the Duke of Qi Xiang, they bowed their hands and said, "The ancestors were unfortunate and collapsed in a foreign country, and the subjects of the whole country were grieving for it, and now they sent the young ministers to greet the spirit and thank Qi Hou for his intentions".

Qi Xianggong was ashamed: I am really sorry, we are not well taken care of, this change has happened, we are also very sad, alas! ......

The envoys of the State of Lu presented the letter written by Shi Bo to the Duke of Qi Xiang, who opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that it read:

Foreign minister Shen Xuan and others, worshipped His Highness the Marquis of Qi: The widow, on the order of the Son of Heaven, did not dare to live in peace, went out of The Land and entered Qi, and came to discuss the big wedding. Now out and out of nowhere, desperate for their lives, the roads are one after another, all in the car into words. There is no blame, and the shame spreads to the princes. Please use Peng Sheng to justify his sins, so as to block the mouth of the world.

These words are crepe, some people may not understand much, the king of longevity of the old man here to explain a thing or two, the meaning of this passage is: my family prince obeyed the order of Zhou Tianzi, did not dare to live at home, specially set off from the country of Lu to the country of Qi to discuss the big wedding between you and the princess, but unexpectedly this went to become a meat bun to beat the dog There is no return, but the guest died in the country of Qi, according to the gossip spread by the people present at the time, they all thought that the changes in the car were very strange. Although the evidence is insufficient and it is not known who to blame, the incident had a very bad impact on the princely states. At present, Peng Sheng's responsibility is the greatest (because according to your arrangement at that time, Peng Sheng is responsible for taking care of my family's princes), so please kill Peng Sheng to make an explanation, or to block the mouths of everyone in the world.

Reading the letter, Qi Xianggong's heart was mixed, and he was glad that Lu Guo did not push the responsibility of Lu Huan's tyranny in the State of Qi on him but blamed Peng Sheng, worried that Peng Sheng was a member of the State of Qi, and he was really reluctant to kill Peng Sheng for this matter, and at the moment he was thinking in his heart how to excuse Peng Sheng in front of the envoys of the State of Lu, and while he was thinking about it, the words of the envoys of the State of Lu had already sounded in his ears: My new prince sent a minister to Qi Yingling, and specially instructed the minister to ask Qi Hou in person: Why did the former emperor die?

Qi Xianggong was a bit stubborn: This... The letters written by the widows to you Lu Guo have been said to be very clear, it is completely accidental, it may be that your ancestors were suffering from hidden diseases before, and once you drank too much, it caused the old disease.

"Oh? Is it? It is said that when the car left, Qi Hou repeatedly asked General Peng Sheng to take good care of my family's ancestors? Lu Xianggong stared at Qi Xianggong and continued to ask.

Before Qi Xianggong could reply, Peng Sheng, who was standing aside, hurriedly took over the conversation and replied: The widow has repeatedly told the last general to take extra care of the distinguished guests. At this time, Peng Sheng did not know that lu guo's letter asking him to pay for Lu Huan's life was his letter of request, so he answered calmly

As soon as Lu Ling saw Peng Sheng, he couldn't help but rush upwards in anger, and his voice also increased by a few points: The result was that Xianjun was unfortunate and fell off the car, and the general was still talking here, if nothing happened!

Lu Envoy turned around again and gave a deep salute to Qi Xianggong: Lu Guo's subjects, do not dare to blame Qi Hou for the accident of the former king, but ask for punishment of the person in charge, I am afraid it is not excessive, right?

"The widow was kind enough to invite Lu Hou to play in Nanshan, but he was expected to suffer such a big change, and the widow was also uneasy for this, and deeply blamed himself!" Qi Xianggong began to play Taijiquan, just not to mention the punishment of Peng Sheng.

Envoy Lu suddenly turned to the door of the main hall and shouted loudly: "There is a lady of the monarch!" As the words fell, but seeing a woman dressed in a silk, Phi Ma Dai Xiao walked in, Qi Xianggong looked up in surprise and found that this person was Wen Jiang!

"Sister! What are you? Qi Xianggong stood up at once, walked down the steps, and took two steps to meet Wen Jiang, but saw Wen Jiang suddenly fall to his knees and shout in his mouth: Please wait for Qi Jiang to preside over justice! Ask for an explanation for my husband! Envoy Lu also knelt down with Wen Jiang: Please wait for Justice!

To say that Wen Jiang is really the soft underbelly of Qi Xianggong, Wen Jiang kneels like this, he completely defeated the indestructible, thick-faced Qi Xianggong, he fell to the ground, looked at Wen Jiang stupidly, and murmured: Lady Wen Jiang! Wen Jiang's body trembled, and he still couldn't get up on his knees.

Qi Xianggong thought to himself: It seems that if you don't kill Peng Sheng, you really can't pass this hurdle, so if that's the case, Peng Shengye, I can't stand you, then I'll do bad things, and the black cauldron you can carry it! It is reasonable to say that it is also your duty to be a courtier to divide the slander and relieve worries for the master, and when he made up his mind, he turned his eyes to Peng Sheng.

Peng Sheng looked at the situation and hurriedly shouted: The monarch can testify, it is indeed Lu Hou who drank too much and accidentally fell out of the car, it has nothing to do with me...

"Stop!" Qi Xianggong interrupted Peng Sheng with an angry drink, and then pointed at Peng Sheng in front of everyone and scolded: "It is precisely because Lu Hou is drunk that I let you support you to get on the car and take care of it carefully, but you neglected your duties, causing the VIP to die, and it is difficult to blame!" ", drinking order left and right to tie Peng Sheng up, pull out and behead shi cao (shi cao refers to the place where commerce in the city is concentrated, in ancient times often executed prisoners here), as soon as this order came out, all the Qi Wenwu courtiers present knelt down to intercede for Peng Sheng: The monarch, Peng Sheng is the warrior of our Qi state, it is a pity to behead! Qi Xiangzheng wanted to borrow a donkey from the slope and let Peng Sheng live, but he could just punish him. Who thought of Lu Envoy but lost no time in bowing to the ground: Thank you Qi Houming, the people of Lu Guo are grateful! Qi Xianggong was forced to get off the stage, so he had to wave his robe sleeve and shout fiercely: Pull out and cut, no one is allowed to intercede!

Poor Peng Sheng could not have dreamed that his master would cross the river and tear down the bridge for himself, unload and kill the donkey, from the time Qi Xianggong reprimanded him, his brain has been in a state of chaos, until he was tied up by the knife and axe hand to be pulled out for execution, he only came back to God, dying to the end, Peng Sheng was also anxious, and then he could not care about the etiquette of the monarch, jumped up and stomped his feet and scolded: Sons, you are not trustworthy, you yourself have done ugly things that are not desirable, fornicating his sister and killing her husband, but pushing all the faults on me. I am blind to life and death, and when I die, I will become a powerful ghost and ask for your life!

Qi Xianggong listened, finished, Peng Sheng this guy in a hurry in front of everyone to shake out everything, what adulterous sister killed her husband and so on, this is simply impossible to listen, Qi Xianggong involuntarily covered his ears with his hands, but he forgot to block Peng Sheng's mouth, as a result, Peng Sheng said these words on both sides of the crowd listened to it clearly, and everyone covered their mouths and secretly enjoyed it. Wen Jiang heard Peng Sheng shouting and scolding like this, and looked at Qi Xianggong in surprise, his face was full of disbelief, Qi Xianggong did not dare to face Wen Jiang's gaze, and had to bow his head in shame.

Originally, everyone only suspected that Lu Huangong's death may have come from the instructions of Qi Xianggong, but there has been no conclusive evidence, this time by Peng Sheng himself, unveiled this layer of fig leaf, this matter has also been passed out from here, as the saying goes, good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, Qi Xianggong and his sister Wen Jiang's incest scandal immediately made headlines today, becoming everyone's talk and joke after dinner.

After killing Peng Sheng, Qi Xianggong finally sent the emissaries of the State of Lu away, and let them take back the coffin of the Duke of Lu Huan, originally the emissaries of the State of Lu also wanted to take Lady Wen Jiang back, but Wen Jiang thought about it, out of this file, she could not return to the Country of Lu, and if she went back, she would have the face to see her two sons, so she did not go back with the messenger, but temporarily stayed in the State of Qi. After the Lu people left, Qi Xianggong sent someone to Zhou Tianzi to thank him for the marriage and determined the wedding date for marrying Wang Ji.

Lu Huan's party rushed to the funeral car of Duke Huan of Lu back to Qufu, the capital of the State of Lu, and the doctor Shen Huan and Shizi tong rushed to greet them on the outskirts of Qufu City, and immediately knelt three times in front of the coffin and did the funeral, and then Shizi took the throne as the Duke of Luzhuang. After the funeral of Duke Huan of Lu, Duke Lu Zhuang summoned his courtiers to discuss the matter of welcoming the marriage for the State of Qi, and Shi Bo played: "Lady Xianjun left Qi and did not return, which caused people to discuss, this is a shame for our country of Lu; Qi is the enemy of the country of our father, and wujun is in mourning clothes, and it is incompatible with reason, but if he resigns, he will go against the king's orders, and if he does not resign, he will laugh at the world, which is another shame of the country of Lu."

Lu Zhuanggong was momentarily affectionate, and he groaned and said, "What then?" Please sir teach me.

Shi Bodao: When Lady Xianjun is in Qi, she must also be greeted with courtesy to fulfill the filial piety of the lord; as for the matter of the main marriage, the Wang Ji Pavilion can be built on the outskirts of Qufu, so that the Shang doctor will welcome her, and the lord will only resign on the grounds that he is dead. In this way, the upper does not go against the orders of the heavenly king, the lower does not blow the feelings of the great powers, and the middle does not lose the ceremony of mourning.

Lu Zhuang Gong Daxi Yue: Shen Xuan said that you are 'too wise to belly' (smart and energetic stomach can not fit, all overflowing), and it is really so! So one by one, he sent the doctor to Luoyi (雒邑, in present-day Luoyang, Henan) in the capital city of Zhou to welcome Wang Ji, and stayed in the newly built pavilion on the outskirts of Qufu for a day, and then sent him to the State of Qi and the Duke of Qi Xiang to marry, and when everything was settled, Lu envoys were ordered by duke Lu Zhuang to ask Lady Wen Jiang to return to the country of Lu. Qi Xianggong was reluctant to let Wen Jiang go, but due to public opinion, it was not good to stay too much, so he had to let him go. On the eve of leaving, Zhu'er Wenjiang left his hand behind, and said cherished: "There is a day to see each other!" "Tears of tears for each other.

Wen Jiang was reluctant to leave his brothers and children, and second, he did such an ugly thing himself, causing his husband jun to lose his life, and he was ashamed to return to Lu country to face the people and heirs, so this road was very difficult, taking one step, resting two steps, grinding and chirping, crying and crying, mother-in-law, dragging mud and water, pulling silk and climbing vines, making Lu feel bored in his heart, but hindered by wen Jiang Xianjun's identity as mrs. Wen Jiang, he did not dare to show it slightly, pretending to be a word, and even more dare not urge, only to be careful to serve, respectfully prepared, and the carriage and horse also slowly walked by Wen Jiang's nature. On this day, but seeing that the houses in the place where the car rut passed were neat and tidy, the scenery was pleasant, and Wen Jiang drank and ordered the parking, and Lu Envoy asked with a smiling face: Madam, what is the matter?

Wen Jiang asked, "What is this place?" ”

Lu Envoy replied: If you go back to Madame, this is exactly the junction of Qilu, called QiluDi (northwest of present-day Linqing County, Jinan City), and further on is the territory of our Lu country.

Wen Jiang said: Well, let me get out of the car, move all my things down, I won't go back, just live here."

Lu Lingyi was anxious when he heard this: "Madam, you can't stay in the country of Qi!" ”

Wen Jiang: No, this is not the State of Qi, nor is it the State of Lu.

Lu Envoy: Although the former emperor was in charge, Shizi Tong had already been made the new king, so if his mother had been living outside in such a vague way, why did he run the country and order his subjects?

Wen Jiang: Don't say it, I'm not going anywhere, and if anyone else thinks of me as a surviving person in the future, just ask him to come here, and I'll live here until I die.

Wen Jiang is the mother of a country, what she decides, who dares to force it? Lu Envoy had no choice but to throw jiang to live in Yudi, and returned to The Country alone to report to Lu Zhuang Gong, who knew that his mother had no face to return to China, sighed, and ordered the construction of a palace in a village named Zhu Qiu in Yu Di, where his mother lived. After that, Lu Zhuanggong also had to go to Zhu Qiu to visit his mother often every three to five minutes. For Duke Lu Zhuang, Wen Jiang is his biological mother from the blood relationship, but morally he is not the same as the killing of his father and enemy (although it was not killed by her own hands, but in the end it was her failure to keep the woman's way and caused this tragedy), if Wen Jiang really returned to the country of Lu, the mother and son are really difficult to get along, so wandering between Lu and Zhu Qiu is the most appropriate, not only to avoid the embarrassment and annoyance faced all day, but also to save the filial piety of Lu Zhuang Gong. There are poems to prove it:

The executioner returned to Dongmeng facelessly, wandering in Qiluzhong.

   If you return your shy face to your homeland, how can the words "kinship and hatred" be integrated?

Speaking of Qi Xianggong's side, since Peng Sheng was dying and leaking out the ugly things he had done, the people of the State of Qi were boiling over and discussing this matter, deeply ashamed of having such a monarch, Qi Xianggong was ashamed and embarrassed, and hurriedly completed the matter of marrying Zhou Tianzi's sister Wang Ji, but still failed to calm the discussion of the people. On this day, Qi Xiang was just and sullen in the palace, and the WeiGuo exiled monarch Wei Huigong, who had taken refuge in the State of Qi, asked to see him, and Qi Xianggong was so tired and twisted to death when he heard it: This must be to let me help him restore the country, I am now taking care of myself, who has the heart to take care of his broken affairs? This dog skin plaster is still stuck to me, how can not shake off! I just wanted the palace people to pass on the order, suddenly my heart moved, why don't I take this opportunity to do a big thing, help this dog skin plaster to regain the throne, improve the prestige of the State of Qi among the various princely states, or change the impression of the common people on me? It's tantamount to me snoozing and my annoying nephew just happened to bring a pillow! With this in mind, Qi Xianggong quickly summoned Wei Huigong and agreed with him on sending troops to Defend the Country to help him return to china and restore the throne, and Wei Huigong cried with joy: "Uncle, you are too good to me, rest assured, as long as I am in charge of Weiguo, Weiguo is the younger brother of Qi Guo, but Uncle you are the head of the horse, and I will hit wherever your fingers go!" Qi Xianggong twisted his beard and smiled slightly: Oh! Well said, well said.

A love affair (Part 2)

The next day, Qi Xianggong summoned his elite division chariots of 500 (about 40,000 people) to attack the Weiguo, and before he set out, Qi Xianggong made a general mobilization before the war, only to see him put on his armor and generously make a statement to his mighty division: "Defending the country and chaos, arbitrarily abolishing the throne, expelling its king, and causing chaos in the dynasty, the State of Qi must not stand idly by, it should wait for the heavens to be consulted, help the Prince of Wei to fight back, help him restore the throne, and show justice on earth in the way of the monarch and the subject!" Wei Huigong waved at Qi Xianggong from the side to show his gratitude. As soon as Qi Xianggong's voice fell, tens of thousands of sons and daughters of the Three Armies of the State of Qi raised their swords, guns, and swords, and shouted in unison: Fight back to the Wei Kingdom, and take the right dynasty! Fight back to the defense of the country to the right dynasty! Qi Xianggong drew his sword, pointed forward, and gave the order to leave, so this tiger and wolf division unfurled its flag, covering the sky and the sun, and went to kill Ben Weiguo

In this way, in order to get rid of the public opinion of the Chinese people, Qi Xianggong adopted the method used by countless rulers since then, using troops to divert the attention of the chinese people and the focus of public opinion.

Qi Xianggong itself is belligerent, under his management, the combat effectiveness of the Qi army has been much higher than that of the Qi Gong, the State of Qi has become a military power, and on the other hand, Wei Guo, since Wei Xuangong's absurd and promiscuous government has triggered more and more fighting in Wei, the country's strength has declined day by day, from the original first-class big country to a second-class small country that needs to rely on people's sniffles, so now the combat effectiveness of the Wei army and the Qi army are not comparable at all, under the command of Qi Xianggong, the Qi army conquered the Wei capital city of Chaoge with the momentum of destroying gula decay, and completely eradicated the henchmen of Yanzi and Shou. The current Wei emperor Hou Qianmu was also driven away. Duke Hui of Wei lived in exile for several years, and with the help of Duke Xiang of Qi, he finally sat firmly on the throne of the Prince of Wei. More than twenty years later, Wei Huigong drove after his two brothers who were killed by him, and Wei Huigong's son Gongzi Chi succeeded to the throne for Wei Yigong, that is, the famous love crane became a fetish, and the king who loved the crane and lost the crowd.

After the matter of defending the country was completed, The Duke of Qi Xiang was worried about the enemy of the State of Qi, ji Guo, so the Qi army went out again with the momentum of thunder and thunder, and this time the soldiers pointed directly at the State of Ji. In the past, there was Lu Huan gong in the middle of the mediation, Ji Guo every time he encountered something can turn the danger into a disaster, now that Lu Huan gong is gone, Ji Guo will face the menacing Qi state tiger and wolf division alone, and now Ji Guo simply can't help the ravages of the Qi state, the Qi army has attacked the city all the way, and has taken many cities and pools in the Ji state, and within a few days, the Qi army has besieged the capital city of the Ji state, the city of Shucheng, and the prince of the state of Ji has seen that this battle cannot be fought, so he opened the city gate, surrendered the state of Qi, and the state of Ji perished. The nearly two-hundred-year-old feud between the two countries of Qi Ji was finally broken at the hands of Duke Xiang of Qi.

Wen Jiang was very excited when He Zhu Qiu heard about the fall of the Ji Kingdom. When the Qi army triumphantly returned and passed through the land, Wen Jiang deliberately greeted his brothers and sons on the side of the road, and ordered his men to slaughter pigs and slaughter sheep and reward the three armies, and the brothers and sisters were reunited for a long time. The next day, Duke Xiang of Qi asked Wen Jiang to write a letter and summoned Duke Lu Zhuang to Meet and Talk in Yudi. After receiving his mother's letter, Lu Zhuanggong struggled with it or went. Seeing Qi Xianggong, who was both a murderer of his father and an enemy and an uncle, Lu Zhuanggong felt this resentment in his heart, and he had to obey his mother's order to see Qi Xianggong with the gift of his nephew, and Qi Xianggong was overjoyed, so he laid down a feast to entertain Lu Zhuanggong. At that time, Qi Xianggong's wife Wang Ji had just given birth to a daughter, and at the banquet, Wen Jiang proposed to make a doll for qi Xianggong's daughter and Lu Zhuanggong, at that time, Lu Zhuanggong was already 19 years old, Qi Xianggong and Lu zhuanggong both thought that the age difference between the two was too big and inappropriate, Wen Jiang angrily said: "What is inappropriate?" That's it, when the female baby reaches the age of fifteen, she will marry her son as a wife", and the two monarchs did not dare to offend Wen Jiang (Lu Zhuang Gong was subordinate to his mother's orders, and Qi Xiang Gong was dependent on Wen Jiang), so Nono agreed.

Moreover, qi xianggong's current wife, Zhou Tianzi's sister Wang Ji, was born charming and moving, it was at the time of the twenty-eight years, it can be said that the best time in a woman's life, but somehow always did not get the favor of Qi Xianggong, Qi Xianggong often left it in the palace and secretly went to The private meeting of Wen Jiang, perhaps for Qi Xianggong, he married Wang Ji, which was itself a political marriage, in order to be able to get the sign of The Heavenly Son of Zhou, to facilitate the hegemony of the State of Qi, and not to pay much attention to Wang Ji himself. Poor Wang Ji, with the dignity of a princess, condescended to marry the State of Qi, but was treated coldly by this, and her heart was troubled, and slowly, Wang Ji also heard about the adultery of Qi Xianggong's brothers and sisters, and sighed darkly: "There are such faceless brothers and sisters in the world, and the real beasts are not as good!" Unfortunately, if you marry a bandit by mistake, you should also be a concubine with a bitter fate! ", since then depression into a disease, a year later suddenly died, only left a female doll less than one year old lost to Qi Xianggong, on this female doll was also Wen Jiang unauthorized decision, predetermined to Lu Zhuang Gong as his future wife, this female baby is the later mourning Jiang, mourning Jiang zi also has a sad life tragedy, did not get a good end, the idiom "Qing father is not dead Lu is difficult" The provenance of the idiom "Qing Father is not dead Lu is difficult" has a great relationship with her, and it is not mentioned here.

After Qi Xianggong's sons killed their wife Wang Ji, they became more and more unscrupulous, and they had more pleasant relations with Wen Jiang. He simply built a palace in Yudi, close to Wen Jiang's palace in Zhuqiu. Every time Qi Xianggong went hunting in The Land of Zen, he called Shangwen Jiang to his palace to play together, and the two hunted during the day and drank and sang at night, living like a fairy couple, so uncomfortable.

According to the "Zuo Biography", in the winter of the second year of the Duke of Luzhuang, Wen Jiang and the Duke of Qi Xiang met; in the spring of the fourth year of the Duke of Zhuang, Wen Jiang once again had a public banquet with Qi Xiang; in the summer of the fifth year of the Duke of Zhuang, the two became more and more bright and upright, and Wen Jiang went to the place where the Qi garrison was stationed to meet the Duke of Qi. In the seventh year of Zhuang Gong, they met twice in one year. The two became more and more bold, and in the end, Wen Jiang directly followed Zhu'er to Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi, and openly stayed in the palace, like a husband and wife, completely disregarding the eyes and scolding of the world. To this end, the people of the State of Qi made a poem "Zai Drive", satirizing Wen Jiang, and the whole poem is as follows:

Book of Poetry · Qi Feng· Carrier drive

The load is thin and thin, and the beard is thick.

Lu Dao has a swing, Qi Zi Fa Xi.

Four Li Ji Ji, weeping.

Lu Dao has a swing, Qi Zi Brother.

Wenshui soup soup, pedestrian Peng Peng.

Lu Dao has a swing, And Qi Zi soars.

The water is gushing, and the pedestrians are crowded,

Lu Dao has a swing, Qi Zi You Ao

The translation is:

The carriage rumbled and the bamboo curtain hung low in red.

Luguo Avenue is wide and flat, and Wen Jiang is in a hurry to return at night.

The four black horses were truly majestic, and the reins were soft and dangling up and down.

Luguo Avenue was wide and flat, and Wen Jiang left for the day just after dawn.

Wenshui rushed day and night, and pedestrians stopped and looked.

Luguo Avenue is wide and flat, and Wen Jiang went back to Qi to wander.

The waves of Wenshui day and night are gushing, and pedestrians have stopped to look.

Luguo Avenue is wide and flat, and Wen Jiang returns to Qi to swim.

In this way, the people of the State of Qi still felt that Wen Jiang was not addicted to scolding, and made a song "We Zhen" to continue scolding

Book of Poetry · Qi Feng· We're in for a long time

We are in the beam, its fish bream.

Qi Zi returns to the end, and its departure is like a cloud.

We are in the beam, its fish bream.

Qi Zi returned to the end, and its from the rain.

We are in the beam, and its fish is only.

Qi Zi returns to the end, and its from like water.

The broken fish cage is set up on the dam and allows the bream and the widower to swim in and out,

Qi Hou's sister returned to the State of Qi, and there were countless servants like clouds.

The broken fish cage is set up on the dam and allows the silver carp to swim in and out,

Qi Hou's sister returned to the State of Qi, and there were countless servants like rain.

Broken fish cages are set up on the dam and allowed to swim in and out of these fish,

Qi Hou's sister returned to the State of Qi, and there were countless servants like water

 The original meaning of "笱" refers to a kind of fishing tool, that is, the basket is in tatters, the big and small fish come and go at will, and the useless basket loses its effect, here it is a satire that Lu Zhuanggong can't control his mother Houwen Jiang, let her and her uncles be blind. However, Wen Jiang traveled in a grand and grand manner, flaunting the market, the scenery was infinite, but secretly he did some dirty things that hurt the customs and customs, and the distinguished and honorable status and jaw-dropping ugly deeds formed a strong contrast, and the whole poem did not have a dirty word, but reached the irony and irony of three points.

There are many poems in the Book of Poetry that satirize Zhu'er Wenjiang, and they are limited in space, so I will not list them all here.

The "Book of Poetry" about the behavior of Zhu'er Wenjiang is ridiculed in a cryptic way, while the "Zuo Zhuan", "Chinese", "Lü Shi Chunqiu", and "Shi Ji" unceremoniously use words such as "adultery", "adultery", and "incest", but these books seem to invariably ignore a fact, if at the beginning Zhu'er was attracted by the beauty of her sister and was confused, but even the most beautiful women could not resist the erosion of time, then with the passage of time, Wen Jiang entered middle age, Xu Niang was half old, Even if the charm still exists, it is certainly no longer as stunning as when it was young, and with the identity and status of the monarch of the sons, there is no shortage of young and beautiful beauties around at any time, if nothing else, that is, that Wang Ji (the second wife of the children) is a beautiful woman in herself, and then occupies the advantage of age, compared with Wen Jiang, who has passed the best time, it is certainly not to mention more than let or even win. But Zhu'er is like being blinded by lard, turning a blind eye to any woman except her sister, and like Wang Ba eating scales and iron hearts, there is only one Wen Jiang sister in her eyes, for Wen Jiang, why not? Any man in the world is like dung in my eyes, and I have only one brother in my heart. In addition, according to the etiquette law at that time, you are the king of a country, you can have many concubines, the so-called three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines are also, the old father of the sons of Qi Gong in addition to the main room has more than a dozen, after the children of Qi Huan Gong Jiang Xiaobai is even more exaggerated, the number of concubines is enough to have a company, called the spring and autumn, the problem is that Qi Huan Gong has so many state affairs to deal with every day, he is not an iron man, limited energy, so many daughters-in-law, it is impossible to achieve rain and dew, he often deals with so many, there are only a few, Others are not much contact, some even have a very raw face, if they meet on the street, they may not know, Guan Zhong can't see it anymore, so he advises Qi Huangong: Junhou you have so many concubines, many of them are idle, it is a bit too wasteful, it is better to dismiss to the people, let them find a good family to marry, have children, it is also considered to be the best use of things, it is better than not to in the junhou this pit, after all, there are so many people who can't find a daughter-in-law. Qi Huangong has always been obedient to Guan Zhong, and this time he also waved his hand generously: Zhong! Just do as Father Zhong said (he honored Guan Zhong as Father Zhong). But on the other hand, in addition to the main room, there is only one partial concubine, and since Wang Ji's death, the position of the main room has been vacant and has not been remarried. Zhu'er was even less interested in the sound and color dog and horse, and only when he was with Wen Jiang was he the happiest, having fun, and really releasing himself. From this, it shows that there is really "love" between Zhu'er and Wen Jiang, but the brothers and sisters were not only notorious at that time, they were scolded by the world, and after they died, they could not fall into the earth, continue to stink for thousands of years, and become synonymous with "promiscuity" and "uncleanness", which is supposed to be completely incompatible with the beautiful word "love", but I really can't think of anything else that can explain their crazy behavior.

Sister Wen Jiang, no matter how the years change, no matter how turbulent the world is, even if the red face is no longer there, the leaves are thin and the flowers are broken, I just want your hair to flutter for me, your smile to bloom for me, even if it is for the moth to throw fire, self-destruction, even if it is doomed, cursed for a thousand years!

Brothers and sisters, whether you are the emperor of the king's world, or a nameless commoner, when the ends of my hair brush your cheeks, I am willing to be your woman for a lifetime, my sister is stronger than jinjian for my brother, and my sister is like a rock to my brother, no matter how much it is infamy and rolling over the ages, no matter what it is, no matter what it says and writes.

A love affair (Part 2)

It is said that in order to help his nephew Duke Hui of Wei restore the throne, Duke Xiang of Qi led an army to attack Wei Guo and drove out the current Prince of Wei, Marquis Qianmu, because the royal family of Wei Guo was related to Zhou Tianzi (Wei Guo was the fiefdom of King Wu of Zhou's younger brother Uncle Kang, and the Wei royal family and Zhou Tianzi had the same surname, both surnamed Ji), and Qi Xianggong was worried that his behavior angered Zhou Tianzi, and sincerely feared that Zhou Tianzi would send troops to fight, and Xingshi asked for guilt, so he sent Concubine Lian's brother Shangqing Dafu lian to be called a general, and Zhongqing Dafu guan zhi's father was a deputy general, and the leader was stationed in Kuiqiu to curb the southeast main road. Beware of Zhou Bing's attack. The second general ordered him to leave, and when he was about to leave, he resigned to Qi Xianggong: "Shubian is working hard, but the king has an order, and the subjects dare not resign, just want to ask how long we have been in Kuiqiu Shubian before you send someone to replace us?" At that time, Qi Xiangzheng was eating watermelon, and replied casually: "Now it is the time when the melon is ripe, you go to shubian, and when the melon is ripe next year, the widow will send someone to Kuiqiu to change defenses and replace you." Even said, Guan Zhi Father replied in unison: OK! That's it, Goodeby! The two of them both fought and led their own headquarters to garrison Kwai Qiu. Time flies, I don't feel that a year has passed, on this day, the pawn picked the newly ripe watermelon and offered it to the second general of the pipe to taste the fresh, the second will eat the watermelon, remembering the melon ripening covenant promised by Qi Xianggong, he could not help but mutter: "According to the agreement, at this time, it should be changed, why did the lord not send someone to replace us?" ”。 So he sent people to sneak into the capital city of Linzi to inquire about the news, to see what our princes were busy with, and they couldn't even take care of such a big thing as changing defenses. The person sent to inquire about the news came back to inform the second general that he had not seen the prince at all when he went to the capital, and had heard that he had been hunting in The Land during this time, and that he had been having fun with his sister Wen Jiang every day, and had been absent from Linzi City for a month. Lian Zhi said angrily: "After Wang Ji was angry with their pair of dogs and men, it was reasonable to say that my sister should be promoted to the stepmother and be the wife of the monarch, but there was no way to be a gentleman, disregarding ethics, hunting for sexual pleasure, but I was exposed to the side and suffered from the wind and frost, and I will kill her!" ”。 Guan Zhi's father advised: "The general is a little restless, this matter we have to consider from the long term, and the melon and the substitute, this is the lord personally promised, it is possible that he forgot about this matter, he forgot it does not matter, we simply asked him to send someone to change the defense, so that if he did not agree, the soldiers will inevitably have resentment, so that a military heart can be used, and the second is that we will be famous for doing things", even saying that this plan is feasible, so he sent a soldier to send a cart full of watermelons to Linzi, and attached a letter to Qi Xianggong, saying that it is now the season when the melon is ripe. According to the golden words promised by the Prince, we should send someone to change our defenses and replace us. Qi Xianggong was furious and said to the soldier who delivered the melon: "When will I have the final say, where will I get your turn to remind you?" Go back and tell your general that he will stay for another year and wait until the melon is ripe next year."

The soldiers went back to talk to Lian Zhi about Qi Hou's words, and even his lungs were about to explode, and he hated and hated lian: The emperor did not believe what he said, and the time of death had arrived. Turning his head to the Father, he asked, "If you want to do something now, will you be safe?" "It means that we are going to do something big today, do you have any good way?" Guan Zhi's father said: "Whoever wants to do great things must first be enshrined, and then he will become, the uncles and brothers of the sons, the gongsuns, are ignorant, the first kings and princes have no grace for them when they are there, the dress and etiquette they use, the travel ceremonies are no different from the sons of the world, the self-respecting gong ascends the throne, the ignorance of the gongsun is gradually alienated, the treatment of character, the travel etiquette, the cut in half, the ignorance of the hated for a long time." Every thought is chaotic, hate no helper. If I wait for the secret to be ignorant, the inside should be combined with the outside, and great things will be accomplished", even called: Good! So when should we do it? Guan Zhi Father said: "The Lord likes to use soldiers, and he is good at hunting, like a tiger leaving the cave, it is easy to control ears." But we have to find out beforehand when he is out hunting, so that we can have a chance." Lian said: "My sister is in the palace, she has fallen out of favor with the lord, and she also holds a grudge for a long time, so I can inform Ignorance and my sister to cooperate fully, thinking that it is internal, ventilating the message, and ensuring that it is correct."

Here the plan stopped, the secret sent a letter to Gongsun ignorant, saying that the emperor was speechless, that the emperor was not faithful, that the melon was ripe, that the generals of the three armies were indignant and confused, and if the prince was willing to raise his arms and lead us to get rid of the emperor, we would like to support you as the new monarch. Gongsun ignorantly read the letter and hurriedly replied: After the matter is completed, it will be necessary to give back to you, and it is not a problem to add officials to the lord, and my grandson is ignorant and speaks like a mountain, and he must do what he says. He also sent a maid to contact Concubine Lian, and showed her the letter written by her brother, and promised that if something big could be accomplished, she would be made the lady of the country. Concubine Lian had been complaining about Xiang Gong for a long time, and she agreed without hesitation at the moment.

But it was said that this winter, Zhu'er heard that there was a Beiqiu Mountain in Gudi, and there were many rare birds and animals in the mountain, which was a good place to hunt, so they sent someone to inform Wen Jiang to go hunting and playing in Beiqiu Mountain together, and agreed to gather at Beiqiu Mountain twice. Here, Duke Xiang of Qi had just set out from Linzi, and Concubine Lian sent a letter to Gongsun Ignorant, who sent people to quickly spread the rumors of Kuiqiu and inform Lian and Guan Er general. The second general got the reward, immediately ordered the men and horses, rushed all night, and pounced on Gu Tong. At that time, Kui Qiu Shu was a pawn, because he had been out of service for a long time, he missed his family, hated the monarch, and heard that he was going to kill the monarch, and everyone was happy to obey, and everyone was scrambling to be the first.

Besides, because Qi Xianggong set off early, he arrived at Beiqiu Mountain a few days earlier than Wen Jiang, and came all the way, but he saw that the trees on Beiqiu Mountain were misty and the vines were lush, and Qi Xianggong issued an order to set fire to the forest, and then he surrounded the school and shot and let the eagle dogs go. The fiery wind was fierce, foxes and rabbits and the like, running east and west, suddenly a wild boar with a huge size like a calf ran out of the fire, and the accompanying soldiers took a bow and arrow, but when they saw the arrow rain, they only looked at the wild boar to greet, did not expect that the wild boar skin was thick and thick, as if unconscious, and went straight to Qi Xianggong's carriage, when Qi Xianggong's personal attendant Meng Yang was standing on xianggong's side with a bow, Xianggong shouted to him: You hurry up and shoot wild boar! Meng Yang seemed stunned, saying that this was not a wild boar, and I saw that its face seemed to be Peng Sheng! Qi Xianggong was furious: How dare Peng Sheng come to see me? Look I don't shoot it! One snatched the bow from Meng Yang's hand, and did not even shoot three arrows at the wild boar, the wild boar suddenly stood upright, the two front hooves were together, and let out a cry, the cry was fierce and harsh, Qi Xianggong fell from the car in fright, sprained his left foot, and in the panic, the shoe on his left foot also fell off, and was taken away by the wild boar, and the wild boar roared angrily and turned away.

Everyone lifted up Qi Xianggong, lay down in the car, ordered him to stop hunting, and returned to the palace built in Gudi, this night, Qi Xianggong felt mentally confused, but he couldn't sleep anyway, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw that the wild boar he encountered during the day hunt turned into Peng Sheng, pointing at himself and scolding: "Sons, you don't talk about credibility, I am Peng Sheng, I turn into a ghost and ask for your life, ask for your life, ask for your life..." ——"Qi Xianggong shouted, opened his eyes, and felt that the pain in his sprained left foot during the day was unbearable, and hurriedly shouted: Come, come on. The attendant Meng Yang heard xianggong's summons and hurried in and asked: "Monarch, monarch, what's wrong with you?" Xianggong said: My foot is sprained, I can't get up, quickly help me up, I will go down and walk.

"Okay, the monarch will wait, I will put the shoes on for you", Meng Yang leaned over and put shoes on Xianggong, and found that there was only one shoe: "Monarch, your shoe is missing.".

"What about the one?"

"Monarch, have you forgotten?" It was taken away by the wild boar that Peng Sheng turned into during the day when he was hunting."

Qi Xianggong was furious: "What kind of wild boar that Peng Sheng turned into, and you still use this kind of nonsense to trick me?" You, you, see I don't kill you! Yan Bi waved the leather whip to split his head and cover his face and pumped it out of Meng Yang's body, only to smoke Meng Yang's skin to open the flesh, wailing continuously, and finally smoking tired, only to put down the leather whip and shouted: Roll! Meng Yang was just about to go out with tears, but he was stopped by Xianggong again: Come back! Meng Yangfu turned around again and looked at his master in panic, qi Xianggong sighed: I'm sorry, I was in danger of hunting during the day, my feet were sprained again, and I was in a bad mood, I hope you don't hate me. Meng Yang burst into tears and choked: "Monarch! ......

Meng Yang dried his tears and went out the door, just when he met Lian Xiang and a few people came to inquire about the movement, Meng Yang was caught off guard, and was caught by them, Lian Yang used a knife against Meng Yang, forcing him to ask the whereabouts of Qi Xianggong, Meng Yang replied in a hurry: The Lord is in the bedroom, and has not yet fallen asleep. Lian said hurriedly: Let's hurry up and kill this guy first. Meng Yang kept waving his hand: Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can show you the way, first put the Emperor to sleep, and then you will do it again, isn't it more convenient?

Lian Zhi shen said: This method is good, but how can we trust you?

Meng Yang shouted excitedly, "I hate him, really, you see", Meng Yang stripped off his shirt violently, revealing the blood stains on his body, "This is all his beating, I hate him more than you, I only want him to die!"

At this time, lian said that there was no doubt, so he released Meng Yang, made him an internal response, and then went back to greet Guan Zhi's father and led the soldiers to kill and come to the palace.

Moreover, Meng Yang entered Qi Xianggong's bedroom and hurriedly woke up Qi Xianggong, who had just fallen asleep: The monarch woke up, the monarch woke up! Qi Xianggong sat up with an excited spirit: What's wrong?

"The monarch, even if he is guilty of rebellion and wants to commit rebellion, he has already killed him!"

Qi Xianggong was astonished: What do you say?

"Lian said that he had killed the palace, you hurry up and escape, I lay on the bed pretending to be the monarch and deceived them, maybe I can save the life of the monarch."

Qi Xianggong didn't have to do anything, so he had to get out of bed quickly, and his shoes couldn't be worn, so he limped and ran outside the door, Meng Yang quickly stopped him: "Lord, there are all their people outside the door, you still go from the back window Hurry up, jump out of the window quickly!" Qi Xianggong said yes, so he ran to the window, just two steps, he stopped, turned to look at Meng Yang: Your name is Meng Yang, right? I've never given you a reward and often beat you, so why did you save me? Meng Yang's voice choked: "Guojun, you are usually so strong to me, but just now you sincerely apologized to me, Meng Yang, he died willingly!" Run away, Monarch, it will be too late to leave."

"Good! I go, I go, I remember your name, if I can get away with this time, I will definitely pursue you well", Qi Xianggong panicked while talking and ran in the direction of the window, just walked to the window, before he could turn over the window, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Even said that he came in with several soldiers with knives, and Qi Xianggong hurriedly covered his body with curtains.

Lian said that he brought people to the bedside first, without saying a word, facing Meng Yang's head lying on the bed was a knife, Meng Yang screamed bitterly, the head rolled to the ground, Lian said that the sound was not right, hurriedly picked up the head and carefully identified: Huh? Isn't that the same person just now? No, we were fooled! This dark lord will come to this hand again. What an abomination! In anger, the crowd continued to slash at Meng Yang's corpse several times, and poor Meng Yang was dead, and the corpse was unloaded into eight pieces!

Lian Xian ordered: The Emperor of Darkness should not have gone far, so I searched everywhere, and dug three feet into the ground to get the Emperor out. Everyone held up candles all over the house to look for, even weighed the tip of their eyes, found that the curtains had no wind automatically, expected that there must be someone hidden inside, so they took a few steps to the curtains, a knife to open the curtains, and saw Qi Xianggong'er in pajamas shivering and hiding there. Lian Weigh laughed and teased, "Monarch, how can you dress up like this?" Do you want to make up and secretly go to meet your Wen Jiang sister? ”

"You.... Even said, the widow treats you not thinly, why should you kill the king? ”

Lian Weigh pointed at Zhu'er and scolded: "Duan Jun, you have four sins to die, and I will come one by one, let you die to understand, first, you have been using soldiers for many years, not benevolent, second, you have disobeyed your father's orders, alienated Gongsun ignorant, not filial piety, the third brother and sister incest, killed their husbands, rude, fourth, do not read the soldiers, expire and do not replace, no faith, I will get rid of you for the Country of Qi, a guy who has lost all his benevolence and filial piety, and he will not commit a crime", Yan Bi waved his sword and slashed at the chest of Zhu'er, and zhu'er was stabbed, fell to the ground, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and it seemed that he could not live, and the children raised their heads. Looking at Lian Zhi said with difficulty: I recognize everything else, but you say that my brother and sister are incestuous, I do not obey, other princes, which are not three wives and six concubines, enjoy the beauty of the world, compared with them, I have only loved one woman in my life, but unfortunately, this woman just happens to be my sister, so it is not tolerated in the worldly etiquette, and it has become a flood beast in your eyes. Hearing Zhu'er's words, Lian Wei opened his mouth and found that he could not refute it.

The blood of the children was flowing more and more, and his life was gradually draining, and he muttered to himself angrily: Sister Wen Jiang, I will go first, I don't know if we can meet in the next life, if we can, at that time, I hope that you will no longer be my sister, so that we can be together in name only, and you can truly become my wife.

It can be lamented that Qi Xianggonggui is the king of a country, but because he has lost his faith in his subjects and aroused the indignation of the people, he has suffered tragic disasters and died in danger of the country, which is the source of the idiom "melon ripening and generation" (there are also writings "and melon and generation", "melon ripe covenant", anyway, all have the same meaning). This idiom reminds future generations of rulers that as kings, they must do what they say to their courtiers, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

A few days later, Wen Jiang also came to Gu Tang with people, but only saw the corpses of Zhu'er and many guards, when Wen Jiang's eyes were black, he fainted, and her men hurriedly helped Wen Jiang to the bed, accompanied by the imperial doctor for a burst of treatment, Wen Jiang woke up and made a sharp and miserable cry. For several days, Wen Jiang was either unconscious, or howling and crying, and finally he actually drank several liters of blood, a few days of kung fu, Wen Jiang aged a lot, described as withered, sideburns also appeared a few traces of white hair, no longer that fanghua beauty, from the heart, a person's mood is sad to the extreme, naturally will affect his external appearance, it seems that the death of the children on Wen Jiang's blow is almost fatal.

Duke Xiang of Qi died, and Wen Jiang's heart seemed to be hollowed out, and she did not live in the land, so she simply moved back to the state of Lu, and from then on she wholeheartedly assisted her son Duke Lu Zhuang in governing the country. Facts have proved that this woman is worthy of the title of "Wen Jiang", once she put her mind into serious affairs, her amazing talent immediately appeared, she had excellent sensitivity and insight into politics, under her command, Lu Zhuang gong did not take a few years to govern the country of Lu with great sound, the country of Lu from weak, bullying small country to become an economic power, a military power. In the tenth year of Lu Zhuanggong's reign, the Battle of the Long Spoon broke out between the State of Qi and the State of Lu, and the "Cao Jie Controversy" that we have learned in the middle school textbook is about this battle, in which the State of Lu completely defeated the State of Qi and gave the Qi army, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, and the qi army, which has always been arrogant and invincible, gave a lesson in ideological education, and the State of Lu achieved a great victory, and the hero on the surface was Cao Jiao, and the tactic he adopted was summed up by posterity as "showing the enemy to be weak, and the enemy is tired and fighting me" Eight big characters. However, there is an undeniable fact that the premise that Cao Jie's tactical thinking can play a role is based on the premise that the difference in combat effectiveness between the enemy and us is not large; otherwise, in the face of the absolute gap in strength, any technique is nonsense and it is impossible to change the direction of the war. In the time of Lu Huangong and Qi Xianggong, the strength of the State of Lu was not at all on a grade compared with the State of Qi, so the Duke of Lu Huan was killed by others, the State of Lu could only swallow his anger and did not dare to fight a war with others, and when it came to the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Lu Zhuang, the national strength of the State of Lu was thriving under the governance of Wen Jiang, and it was enough to wrench the wrist with the Qi version, so it can be said that the Battle of the Long Spoon Lu State achieved a great victory and completed the abuse of the State of Qi, wen Jiang was naturally indispensable, and was a hero behind the scenes.

A love affair (Part 2)

With Wen Jiang, the people of the State of Lu not only lived a rich life, but also stood up between the various princely states under the world, and really raised their eyebrows, in view of this, the people of the State of Lu were grateful to Lady Wen Jiang, and they also had great respect for this mother of the country, as for her and the disgraceful past of the children, they did not care much, which can also be confirmed from the "Book of Poetry", because the poems in the Book of Poetry that satirize the sons of Wen Jiang are from the hands of the State of Qi and other countries, except that no Lu people have mixed this matter. After all, in the eyes of the common people, we will support whoever can make us live a good life, and as for other things, what about him?

It is said that in Qufu, the hometown of the Lu Kingdom, in order to commemorate Wen Jiang, the locals did not know when to build the Wen Jiang Ancestral Hall, and the Wen Jiang sculpture in front of the ancestral hall stared at the front, what was it thinking? Maybe it's looking back at the long-standing relationship with a man more than 2,700 years ago: Brothers, I met you in your past life, not just to be a brother and sister with you...

Exactly: this can be a memory, but it was already confused at the time.
