Jin Jinggong is really called one of the ancient kings, the death phase is quite strange, it is said that he was bloated when he went to the toilet, accidentally fell into the toilet and drowned, this is probably really unimaginable, how big a toilet is needed to drown a person? I'm afraid that Jin Jinggong couldn't imagine that he would die like this, and it was hard to imagine how painful and uncomfortable he should have been before he died. However, the king of a country fell into the toilet, and no one found him in time and fished him up?
Duke Jing of Jin (?–581 BC), courtesy name Ji (姬), courtesy name 獳, was the 26th monarch of the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn period of China (reigned 599 BC – 581 BC), grandson of Duke Wen of Jin and son of Duke Cheng of Jin, who succeeded his father Duke Cheng of Jin in 599 BC.
During the Jin Jinggong period, the Jin army defeated the Chu army led by King Zhuang of Chu at the Battle of Liuzhuo and the Battle of Yingbei, but was defeated by the State of Chu at the Battle of Qiu in 597 BC, making King Zhuang of Chu the overlord; In 583 BC, The Duke of Jin Jing sent troops to invade the Chu mainland during the Battle of Chu and Chu, ending the hegemony of the Chu state. In the Battle of Jin Qi in 589 BC, Jin Jinggong sent troops to defeat the State of Qi.
In his later years, Duke Jing of Jin moved the capital from Dai to Xintian (新田, in modern Houma, Shanxi) and renamed it Xindi. Later, he sent troops to eliminate the dictatorial Zhao family, and won the first victory of the office against the Qing clan. He died in 581 BC and reigned for nineteen years, after which he was succeeded by his son Duke Li of Jin.
The Spring and Autumn Warring States Period was a war-torn era in history, the land was divided, many countries were standing, jin Jinggong, as the head of a country in the Spring and Autumn period, should do it for the sake of his own people and his own country, should find ways to make his country strong, but he is not a wise monarch, he himself has no great wisdom, there is no capable person around, it is not easy to survive for such a long time in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since ancient times, they have all become kings and defeated Kou, so the Jin state and the Chu state have equal strength, but the Chu state has defeated the Jin state with superior skills, and the Chu state has become the hegemon, and the Jin state has no choice but to move the capital.
The history books mention the following words for the death of Jin Jinggong: "Eating, rising, going to the toilet, and falling into a pawn." "What do you mean?" The translation is more funny, which means that Jin Jinggong wanted to go to the toilet after eating, but accidentally fell into the toilet and drowned alive. Kings in history have a variety of ways to die, but this way of dying is more embarrassing, what is going on? It turned out that Jin Jinggong had a dream after he was sick, and when he woke up, he found someone to interpret the dream, and the wizard was also more realistic, thinking that Jin Jinggong could not eat the new wheat, Jinjing Gong was more on fire when he heard it, and looked for a good doctor everywhere to heal, and soon after, Jin Jinggong wanted to eat the new wheat, and was also ready to kill the wizard who could not speak, as a result, Jin Jinggong just prepared to move the chopsticks, he felt uncomfortable in his abdomen, he went to the toilet and never came back, and the guards went to check only to find that they had fallen into the dung pit and drowned.
Fang Zhaohui's "Spring and Autumn Left Biography Character Genealogy" praised Jing Gong's hegemonic achievements. It is believed that the reason why Jing Gong was able to turn defeat into victory was to oppose the decline of hegemony and the separation of princes in the era of Zhao Dun's dictatorship. On the one hand, the Jin Dynasty is full of talents. On the other hand, after the defeat at the Battle of Wu, Jing Gong himself was calm and composed, neither chaotic nor did he wantonly question the internal guilt; Externally, there is no rush to shame and blindly send troops. Moreover, he also knew that people were making good use of it, and the graceful "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" summarized the "Zuo Chuan" record of the mistakes made by Jing Gong in his life. The first is disrespectful to Lu Chenggong in the twelfth year of JingGong; The second is to win over the State of Qi and force the State of Lu to return the land of Wenyang and make the princes centrifuge; Finally, in his later years, he suppressed Zheng Guo by force, so that Zheng Guo had the intention of betraying Jin.
Duke Jing of Jin was the monarch of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period, and his father was duke cheng of Jin. During the reign of Duke Jinggong of Jin, he sent troops to eliminate the dictatorial Zhao family, which was also the prototype of the background of the "Orphan of Zhao", which forced King Zhuang of Chu to end his hegemony and greatly increased the influence of the Jin state at that time.
Jin Jinggong, who had ruled for 19 years, suddenly fell seriously ill, knowing that he was seriously ill, in order to prevent the problem, he ceded the throne to Prince Pu in advance, but soon after, Jin Jinggong had a very strange dream, he dreamed of a ghost in a cloak to ask for his life, after waking up, he sent someone to invite the Sangtian witch who was very good at divination at that time, and after the wizard's divination, he decided that Jin Jinggong's condition would probably not be able to eat next year's new wheat, and Jin Jinggong was furious and put the wizard in prison.
Then, he asked bian que,, a disciple of the divine doctor Bian Que (bian que was dead at the time). After recovering from his illness, the wheat also reached the harvest season, and in order to refute the original Sangtian witch's saying that he could not eat the new wheat, Jin Jinggong escorted the witch into the palace and let people boil the wheat porridge, the purpose of which was to let the witch see that his body was very tough, and kill him.
After the porridge was served, Jin Jing gong was ready to drink, suddenly felt uncomfortable in the stomach, and went down to the hut under the support of the next person, I don't know if it was weak or how, Jin Jing Gong was not careful, he fell into the dung pit, when people heard the noise and arrived, Jin Jing Gong had been drowned.
It is really the world's big, there is no wonder, the king of a country in the Jin Dynasty, just died, leaving a legendary story for posterity to comment.
