The previous article said that Shandong Qi Dashao did not make a will when he died, resulting in the juniors only competing for the power and money of the boss. In the end, he was seriously depleted and withdrew from the position of acting director of the Eastern Zhou Chamber of Commerce.
At this time,
Small leader of Shanxi Sub-district - A Jin (Jinguo)
Bravely took on this "burden".
Ah Jin is a brave and resourceful person, Shandong Qi Dashao is too tired, unloaded the burden, Ah Jin immediately took over this "hard work". Although it is a "hard job", it can show its face, so Ah Jin is still happy to do it, carrying a watermelon knife for more than 100 years.
(In 636 BC, the prince of the Jin state regained the throne and became the Duke of Jin.) At this point, the Jin State began its hegemonic position for more than 100 years. ）
After Ah Jin had nothing to drink, he would always reminisce about that year with the little brother below. This did not come again, took a drink from the glass, lit a cigar and took a deep breath and then spat out a smoke ring:
"At that time, something happened in the family of Big Brother Qi in Shandong, and someone always had to come out to manage this huge river and lake, and Elder Zhou was old, so we couldn't let outsiders look at it!" After much thought, I decided to take on this burden. ”
(In 643 BC, Duke Huan of Qi died, and his sons were busy fighting in their nests, at which point the State of Qi lost its power to dominate the Central Plains.) ）
"That being said, it's so easy." I first went to Shandong to discuss countermeasures with Brother Qi, and then called on my good brother Ah Qin to teach 'Xiao Wei' a lesson. By the way, I warned the restless 'Lao Lu', 'Xiao Cao' still wanted to get the whole thing, and I beat him up. 'Little Song' was beaten by Nan Man's 'Chu Boy', and I went to rescue him. ”
(In 632 BC, the Jin and Chu armies fought a great battle at Chengpu, and the Jin army defeated the Chu army.) From the jin wengong expedition to the decisive battle of Chengpu, it was only 4 months. A blitzkrieg swept through the central plains, Lian qin, Heqi, Forced Wei, Intimidation, defeat cao, save Song, break Chu, all in one go, just like a war art film, after examining it, I deeply felt what it was to swing back to the intestines! ）
"Speaking of this southern barbarian 'Chu boy', he was angry, and When Big Brother Qi in Shandong was there, he was restless, and Big Brother Qi took a few of us brothers to beat him up and settle down for a while. Now that Big Brother Qi has retired to the jianghu, he is looking for things again. As soon as I was forbearing, I really couldn't stand it later, so I made an appointment and let me beat me up fiercely. ”
(When the State of Qi was hegemonic, the State of Chu stopped its northward advance due to the suppression of the State of Qi, and instead annexed a number of small states to the east, and the state was strong.) After the decline of the State of Qi, the State of Chu expanded northwards to compete with the State of Jin for hegemony. ）
Luck is also part of strength, on the way back from beating Xiao Nanman, he happened to encounter Boss Zhou arguing with his brother. We always wanted to persuade the fight, and also helped to build a house for Boss Zhou, and as a result, the boss was happy afterwards and gave me the title of acting head of the general church. Where do you say reason to go? ”
(In 632 BC, the Jin and Chu armies fought a battle at Chengpu, and the Jin army defeated the Chu army.) Wen Gong hegemony has been achieved, leading the army to retreat, playing a triumphant song all the way, and the army is very neat.
Duke Wen of Jin personally went to Zhou Du and offered him a successful captive. King Xiang of Zhou was extremely grateful to Duke Wen and personally received him. Wen Gong presented to the Tianzi Chu prisoners of war: 100 chariots and 1,000 infantry. On the way back to the army, he passed by Yongqiu and helped Zhou Tianzi build a palace, which won the favor of King Xiang of Zhou.
After that, Duke Wen of Jin joined the princes of jiantu, and the king of Zhou also came to participate, and appointed Duke Wen of Jin as "Hou Bo", that is, the overlord. At this point, Duke Wen inherited the "legacy" of Duke Huan of Qi, carried the banner of King Zunyi on his shoulders, and assumed the glorious duty of defending the international order of eastern Zhou.
In May 632 BC, Duke Wen of Jin, on the orders of Zhou Tianzi, summoned the princes, Qi Zhaogong, Song Chenggong, Lu Gong, Cai Zhuanghou, Zheng Wengong, Wei Shuwu (Wei Chenggong's younger brother, Chenggong was in opposition, and did not go), and Juzi, allying with Jiantu.
In 631 BC, King Xiang of Zhou wanted to gather the princes, and Duke Wen of Jin ordered the princes to go to Zhai Quan to meet Zhou Tianzi. King Xiang granted the Jin dynasty the title of Governor of Jin, and served as the ruler of the Shangjun ZuoHu Yan Dynasty wen guild alliance. In June, the meeting of the princes was held as scheduled, and King Xiang of Zhou met with the special envoys of the Jin Dynasty, Hu Yan, Song Chenggong, Qi Zhaogong, Lu Xigong, Chen Mugong, Cai Zhuanghou, and Qin Mugong allied with Zhai Quan. The Jin Dynasty's courtiers met the princes, showing their sense of superiority at the top of the world, and also marking the peak of the Jin dynasty's hegemony. ）
The younger brothers echoed and whispered, "Blow, blow hard, you become passive, for the sake of this acting chief, the brothers have sharpened their heads to win." Is this your own credit? ”
Blowing every day, remembering that year every day, the following little brother finally couldn't bear it, decided to him a vote, and if there was nothing to do, he hid Ah Jin and plotted together.
(The division of the Jin state in the later period, the division of feudalism, the killing of the Duke of Jin by the Duke of Jin, the growth of the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei were all reasons for the split, and the hidden dangers had been laid very early.) ）
Although Shanxi Ajin has been in the capacity of acting director of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce for many years, he is not like Shandong Qi Dashao, who is served by everyone when acting.
After all, there are still many people willing to do this kind of face-to-face thing, and when Ah Jin was in charge of the gang's affairs, there was a person who always worked against him.
This man is
Nan Man - Chu Xiaozi (Chu State)
Chu Xiaozi himself is not a member of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, but I heard that the general scoop of the Zhou Boss is more "affinity", the Chamber of Commerce is relatively wealthy, the treatment is generous, and there are dividend bonuses at the end of the year. Just rub it into the Chamber of Commerce. From shandong Qi Dashao began to rub when he was acting chief, to the A Jin period finally let him rub in.
(The State of Chu was not a fief of the Zhou royal family earlier, but a huge tribe in the south, and later established itself as king, which is why among the Five Lords of the Spring and Autumn Period, the others were all Gong (Qi Huan Gong, Jin Wen Gong...). And the state of Chu was called wang (king of Chuzhuang). The Central Plains are rich, and generations of Chu monarchs have sharpened their heads to get closer to the Central Plains. ）
At that time, Chu Xiaozi was born in the south, did not speak Mandarin well, and looked dark and strong. Fighting is a good hand, there is a brute force, so everyone calls him Nan Man.
Chu Xiaozi is simply a face performer, one will pretend to be crazy and stupid, one will be energetic, one will laugh like a peach blossom, and one will be cold and bone-chilling.
If you have something to do, you like to challenge the fragile nerves of the weekly boss.
That is the incident in which Chu Xiaozi ran to the house of Zhou Laozi with the wine and wanted to use Ding as a wine glass - the King of Chu Zhuang "asked Ding Zhongyuan".

The next part continues...
In 636 BC, the prince of the Jin state regained the throne and became the Duke of Jin.
In 632 BC, the State of Jin fought a battle with the State of Chu in the south and defeated the State of Chu, because the State of Chu was also very powerful at that time, so the State of Jin suddenly became the second hegemon after the State of Qi.
