Spring and Autumn History (5) The Rebellion of HuaDu

The Rebellion of The Governor < 710 B.C.>

As we said before, Song Mugong was deeply grateful for his brotherhood, and on his deathbed he passed the throne to his nephew Duke Song, and Song Mugong's own son, Feng, went into exile in Zhengguo.

Song Yigong wanted to get rid of his cousin Feng, and this incident also became the fuse of the war between Zheng and Song for many years.

(For details, see "Song Mu Gong Chuan Throne" above)

Spring and Autumn History (5) The Rebellion of HuaDu

With the assistance of Sima Kong's father Jia, Duke Song reigned for 10 years and fought 11 foreign wars, large and small.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had two major dukes with the strongest power, the Kong clan and the Hua clan.

Both families were of the same bloodline as the king of the Song dynasty, with Kong Father Jia serving as the Grand Sima and Father Hua serving as Dazai.

As can be seen from the above figure, Father Hua is the uncle of the Duke of Song, while Father Kong is the senior ancestor of the Duke of Song, and the difference in generations is a bit large.

If you exclude the case that the ancient books are misremembered, it is also possible, because from the Duke of Song to the Duke of Song, there were eight monarchs, a total of more than 140 years, and the Kong clan went through three generations during this time.

In short, Kong Father Jia should be relatively old at this time.

One day, Hua Tuo met a woman on the road, and the original text described: "(Hua Du) sent it against his eyes, saying: 'Beautiful and beautiful'. ”

This means that Hua Tuo greeted her with his eyes, and then watched her go away, and he exclaimed with endless admiration: "How beautiful! ”。

After inquiring, I learned that this woman was the wife of the old man Kong Fujia.

In order to get the beauty, Hua Tuo started to kill.

He first sent people to spread the word in the country, saying: "Since the monarch took the throne, there have been eleven battles in a total of only ten years, and the culprit is the Grand Sima Kong Father Jia, who is in charge of military power. Fighting a war was a very expensive thing, which caused the people of the Song Dynasty to have no livelihood. ”

He also said: "If I were to be put in power, I would certainly not be able to work so hard and hurt the people and money." ”

After the people complained, Father Hua took the opportunity to kill Kong Father Jia and take his wife.

Hua Dou went to see Song Zhengong and reported the incident.

What Hua Du thought in his heart was: I let Father Kong Jia carry the black cauldron of war for the monarch, and in terms of blood relations, my Hua clan is closer to the monarch. I was scolded a few times at most.

Unexpectedly, Song Gong was extremely angry, Kong Father Jia was an old minister, and over the years Kong Father Jia assisted Song Gong and fulfilled his duties.

Worried that the Song Guild would be unfavorable to himself, Hua Dou attacked first and killed the Duke of Death.

This led to civil unrest in the Song Dynasty.

The news spread quickly throughout the neighboring countries. Zheng, Qi, Lu, Chen and other states jointly held a meeting to discuss how to attack Huadu in order to stabilize the situation in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is not for the purpose of upholding justice. Ministers who kill the king at will will be imitated by other courtiers, and if they are not punished, they will not be able to do it in case it happens to themselves in the future.

But The Governor of Hua was a veteran of things, and he had already made preparations to calm down this matter—he had prepared generous gifts for every monarch who attended the meeting.

From ancient times to the present, the effect of bribery has been remarkable. The monarchs who received the bribe immediately changed their original intentions and finally unanimously decided to support HuaDu.

According to the etiquette at this time, it was unrealistic for Father Hua to want to be the monarch himself, so he welcomed back feng (son of Duke Mu of Song and cousin of Duke Mu of Song) who had lived in Zheng Guo for ten years, and made him the prince of the State of Song, which was the Duke of Song Zhuang.

Since then, the Hua clan has become the most powerful Wang clan in the Song Dynasty, ruling for more than two hundred years.

The Kong family gradually declined, and by the time Kong's father Jia's great-grandson "Uncle Fang" was expelled by The Fahrenheit, he could only go into exile in the Country of Lu.

Uncle Fang's grandson was the famous Hercules uncle Liang Qi (hé), who was able to lift the city gate, the father of Confucius.

Therefore, Confucius (the character "Zhongni") is a descendant of the Song Dynasty, and further back, it is the descendant of the Shang Dynasty royal family.

As the progenitor of the Confucian school, Confucius's thought has greatly influenced the course of China's history for thousands of years. Throughout the ages, Confucius has been praised, such as "Dacheng Most Holy Ancestor", "Wanshi Master's Table", etc., and Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty even said: "The sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and the eternal is as long as night." The descendants of Confucius have also been named "Yan Sheng Gong" by successive dynasties.
