From the narration of the previous story line, it can be seen that the relationship between the State of Song and the State of Zheng began from the chaos of Weiguo Prefecture and entered a state of saber rattling, and the Duke of Song was very jealous of his son Feng under the protection of Zheng Guo, and repeatedly allied with other countries to attack Zheng. The Song State Dazai Huadu had a good relationship with his son Feng, and seeing that the Song State vowed to capture Feng, but it was inconvenient to speak, he was only angry in his heart, Kong Father Jia gathered Wei Guo to destroy Zheng, and he was already dissatisfied with Kong and waited for an opportunity to get rid of him.
Kong's father Jiava Dai lost and fled back to the Song Kingdom alone, which caused a lot of discussion among the countrymen. The use of force by the Duke of Song caused Wei Guo to lose most of its labor force and a sharp decline in the domestic population. Governor Hua took the opportunity to send people to spread rumors that the reason why the Song State used troops on a large scale was because Kong Sima had advised the Lord and led the troops to advance. Since then, Kong Father Jia has become the target of everyone.
Kong Father Jia's wife Wei Shi was beautiful and one of the best beauties at that time, and Hua Du had heard about it earlier, and he only looked forward to the opportunity to see it. It was a year of spring blossoms, Yang Liu Yiyi, floating light, among the women of the Song Kingdom, there were often people who stepped into the blue, Wei Shi returned to his mother's province on the road, secretly lifted the curtain to enjoy the scenery along the road. At that time, although this move was not polite, it was helpless to spring and sultry. It happened that Hua Du, who was playing, saw that after discovering that the beauty was Mrs. Kong Sima, he was shocked in his heart: 'There is such a beautiful woman in the world, it is really better to hear it than to see it.' With this woman as a concubine, she wanted nothing else for the rest of her life. Kill Kong Father Jia, and I will have a chance to own the Wei clan." The shocking glance caused Hua Du to think day and night, and the idea of getting rid of Kong Father Jia became more and more firm.
In the spring of the tenth year of King Huan of Zhou, Kong Father Jia was ordered to inspect the soldiers and horses, and he led the troops with strict requirements and strict military discipline. Governor Hua spread rumors again, saying that Kong Sima's rectification of the soldiers and horses was about to lead troops to fight again. When Song Jun heard this, the people were distracted, and one after another some soldiers complained to Governor Hua, begging him to advise the Lord to rest and recuperate as soon as possible. In order to further arouse the anger of the people, Hua Tuo closed his door and only sent the housekeeper to send visitors. After a long time, the Song army completely dispersed, and more and more soldiers asked to see Hua Du, and some even squatted day and night with weapons to guard his appearance.
Seeing that the conditions were ripe, Hua Tu came out fully armed, wearing armor and carrying swords, and said to the troublesome soldiers: "Kong Sima likes to use soldiers, the lord trusts him, he completely disobeys my advice, and in the near future he will lead the soldiers to attack the Zheng Kingdom, why should the people of the Song Kingdom go through such hardships?" Everyone gritted their teeth when they heard this, and they were about to get rid of Kong Father Jia. Hua Tu pretended to be relieved and said, "Don't make a second time, if Kong Sima hears it, Lord Yuming, your life will not be saved." The soldiers said, "We have been fighting for years, winning less and losing more." Now he wants to send troops to attack Zheng, how can he beat Zheng Guo's elite generals. Hengzhi is death, it is better to kill Kong Father Jia, the evil thief, and eliminate harm for the people. Hua Tuo said again. Kong Sima had the support of the lord behind him, and killing people was absolutely impossible. Everyone regarded Hua Tuo as the only hope at this time, and did not let him go, shouting in unison, "We are willing to follow Dazai to get rid of the evil thief!" ”。
Surrounded by everyone, Hua Tu boarded the chariot and went straight to the Kong Mansion. The soldiers surrounded the house, and Hua Du pretended to knock on the door to visit, leading Kong Father Jia to see him. As soon as the gate opened, everyone rushed in, and Kong Father Jia was flustered when he saw this. Seeing that the general trend had been achieved, Hua Tu shouted, "The evil thief is here, don't do it yet!" Before Kong Father Jia could react, his head had already landed, and everyone ransacked the inside and outside of Kong's mansion. Hua Du took his henchmen, went to the inner hall to capture Wei, got in the car and left. I don't want Wei to take advantage of Huadu's lack of attention and secretly hang himself with a belt. By the time he found out, Wei had already lost his breath, and Hua Tu regretted it and strictly ordered his entourage not to speak out about it.
When Song Yigong heard that Kong Father Jia had been killed, he was at a loss, and when he heard that Hua Tu was also involved, he was immediately angry and made people rumor that he had come to see him. Hua Tuo claimed to be ill and refused to enter the palace. Duke Yan was helpless and personally mourned for Kong Father Jia. Seeing that the situation became a tiger, Hua Tu summoned the sergeants and said, "Father Kong is a favored courtier, you have eliminated him, and it is difficult for the lord to get rid of it." The first prince Mu Gongrende chose to pass the throne to the lord and gave up his son Feng. Now the lord repays the grievances with virtue, listens to the rumors of Kong's father, and repeatedly attacks Zheng, intending to get rid of Feng. If Kong has been removed, it is better to abolish the lord and welcome back the son of the ancestor, so that he can also avoid the scourge of killing, wouldn't it be beautiful. Everyone thought so, so they ambushed near the Kong Mansion, waited for the arrival of the Duke of Song, and attacked in groups, and the Duke of Song died at the hands of the chaotic army.
After the news of Duke Yan's death spread, Hua Tu went to mourn in mourning clothes, and in front of the ministers of the Song state, he found a few people to correct the law for the dead ghosts, and said to the hundred officials: "The son of the first prince Mu Gong Feng is now Zhengguo, Mu Gongren loves the people, we have not forgotten this wandering grandson, and at the moment we can only take back the son Feng to preside over state affairs." "Hundreds of officials hinder the prestige of Huadu, but they only promise and dare not disagree. While Hua Tu sent an envoy to take back Gongzi Feng, he gave it to the princes with rare treasures in the treasury to win the hearts of the people.
Zheng Zhuanggong read the letter of state of Song, agreed to Feng to return to China, and set up a banquet to see him off before leaving. Feng repeatedly thanked him." Duke Zhuang was deeply pleased.
Feng returned to China and ascended the throne as the Duke of Song Zhuang. Zheng, Qi, and Lu recognized the status of Duke of Song Zhuang and suggested that Governor Hua be the prime minister.
On the way back to China, the Qi Jun Guild Alliance heard that the Northern Rong Di had sent troops to invade Qi and had already attacked Zhu'a, pointing directly at Lixia, and the defenders of Lixia were afraid that they would not be able to resist, and they were anxious one after another, and reported to the lord. Qi Xigong said: "Rong Di has repeatedly attacked and harassed, but he is just doing some tricks of stealing chickens and dogs, smashing and looting. Now that the large-scale attack is carried out, and if it is allowed to succeed, the northern territory of our Qi country will never be peaceful. "On the one hand, Duke Xu sent people to borrow troops from the three kingdoms of Zheng, Lu, and Wei, and on the other hand, he personally led an army with Gongzi Yuan, Gongsun Daizhong and others to resist the enemy.
Zheng Zhuanggong saw that Zheng Qi had been bloodied as an ally, and the State of Qi always supported Zheng Guo's war, and this time the State of Qi was in difficulty, so he immediately sent elite generals to support, Shizi suddenly became a general, Gao Qumi was a deputy general, Zhu Dan was the vanguard, and the army drove to Lixia in the starry night.
Seeing that Zheng Bing had arrived, Duke Qi was grateful, personally went out of the city to treat Zheng Guoshi, and discussed with Shizi Hu a strategy to break the enemy. Suddenly said". "It was immediately decided, and the Qi army ambushed on the eastern side to resist Rong Di from continuing to advance; Zheng Jun set up an ambush in the north and cut off his back road. Attacking from end to end will surely cause chaos in the Rong army, and a battle can be won. Duke Xu ordered Gongzi Yuan to ambush at the east gate, and Rong Di killed him as soon as he arrived; Ling Gongsun Dai Zhong led his troops to deceive and lure the enemy to the east gate.
The Rong army chased to the east gate, and sure enough, the front and rear armies were in chaos, and the general Rong Di fought and walked, marched to Queshan, saw that he had thrown off the Qi army, put down his heart, and prepared to cook rice. Suddenly, the killing sound in the mountain col shook the sky, and Gao Qumi led his troops to kill. General Rong Di hurriedly mounted his horse and fled. Gao Qumi's army chased and killed all the way, but after traveling only a few miles, Gongzi suddenly led his troops to kill, and under the front and rear attacks, Rong Di had already scattered and fled.
The Duke of Qi was overjoyed, and repeatedly praised Hu You's courage and resourcefulness, and ordered the messenger to send a message that Lu and Wei did not have to send troops. At the military banquet, Duke Qi mentioned his daughter's marriage to Hu again, and repeatedly thanked him for resignation. Duke Yi sent Yi Zhongnian to find Gao Qumi privately and said, "The lord admires the son of your country, Wen Wu Shuangquan, and is willing to give his daughter to him." He had previously sent an envoy to Zhengguo to raise his family, and Shizi resigned, but now the lord personally mentioned it to Shizi, but he was rejected, and I don't know what Shizi's plan is. If you can facilitate this affair, my Lord will give you a generous gift. Gao Qumi accepted Qi Hou's commission to explain to Hu Shu the benefits of marriage. Shizi suddenly said, "When there was nothing to do before, Qi Hou intended to give me his daughter, but I still didn't dare to climb high. Now that the State of Qi is in trouble, I was ordered by my father to lead troops to support, and I succeeded by luck, if I bring the princess of the State of Qi back to China, others will say that I took advantage of the fire and robbed and wanted to blackmail the Marquis of Qi. The next day, Qi Hou sent someone to ask for a relative, but he still refused and asked to resign and return to China. The servant was furious, and said, "I have a daughter like this, why do I have no husband!" ”
Suddenly returned to Zheng Guo, and told Duke Zhuang about his resignation. Zheng Zhuanggong said: "My son is so self-reliant, and his merits are determined, so I don't have to worry about not having good people." After learning about it, he said to Gao Qumi in private, "Among the sons of the lord, Gongzi Tu, Gongziyi, and Gongzi Qi are all coveting the throne. My son is doing it, why not advise it? Gao Qumi then informed the priest how to persuade and how to be rejected. The sacrifice was helpless, sighed and left.
Moreover, Gao Qumi has always been close to Gongzi, and after hearing that he has the heart to ascend the throne, he has close contacts with him. Shizi suddenly informed Duke Zhuang about Gao and Qian, and Duke Zhuang severely rebuked Gao Qumi, but Gao Qumi refused to admit it. Turning around, he told Gongzi Qi about this, and Zi Qi said: "Back then, my father wanted to use you again, but he stopped because the son of the world obstructed him, and now he has exposed the relationship between you and me. My father is fashionable and so forced, and when my father dies, how can he tolerate you and me. Gao Qumi informed Shizi of his refusal to marry, saying, "Shizi is indecisive, and will never harm you and me, so Gongzi does not have to worry." Since then, the two have had a disagreement with Hu, which also created the story of Gao Qumi's later killing of Shizi Hu and Yinggongzi as Marquis Zheng.
On the side of the sacrifice, seeing that it was no longer possible for Zheng and Qi to marry, he asked Shizi to marry Chen Guo, stating that Chen and Wei had always been friendly and Zheng Guo joined, and the three kingdoms would become a strong and safe and sound situation. Shizi suddenly thought so. After the sacrifice, he entered the Duke of Zhuang and sent an envoy to Chen to propose marriage, and Chen Hou gladly agreed. Shizi suddenly arrived at Chen and personally welcomed Princess Chen Guo back to China.
Seeing that the princess of Qi was not married, Lu Guo sent an envoy to Qi to propose marriage, and Qi Marquis then gave his daughter Wen Jiangxu to Lu Hou. Many subsequent stories unfolded...
