During his 26-year reign, although Duke Xian of Jin reigned for 26 years, he made great achievements in destroying the states of Li Rong, Geng, Huo, Wei, Yu, and Yu, and history calls him "seventeen and thirty-eight", but the family affairs were handled in a mess: Jin Xiangong had eight sons, of whom Shen Sheng was the crown prince, The birth mother of Zhong'er and Yiwu, Hu Jiji and Xiao Rongzi, were sisters, and Xi Qi and Mozi's biological mothers Li Ji and Shao Ji were also sisters.
After the death of Qi Jiang, the daughter of Prince Shen's mother Qi Huan, Li Ji was favored by Duke Xian of Jin and wanted to make his son Xi Qi crown prince, under his persecution, Shen Sheng, who lived far away from the capital of Quwo, committed suicide and fled to his mother's homeland Zhai Guo (also known as Di Guo), Yi Wu fled to the Liang Kingdom not far from the Qin State after Defending According to Qu Yi, Yi Wu did not say, today to talk about the exile road of Jin Wen Gong Zhong'er: all the way to hang, it lasted 19 years to live in 8 countries, and at least 7 wives were married.
In the twenty-second year of the Jin Dynasty (655 BC), the forty-three-year-old Zhong'er fled east into the State of Di, and with him there were more than a dozen courtiers, including Hu Yan and Zhao Wan; in 650 BC, Zhong'er's younger brother Yiwu returned to China with the support of the Jin state's heavy minister Li Ke and others to take the throne, known in history as the Duke hui of Jin, jin Huigong was afraid that Zhong'er would threaten him, so he sent people to hunt down and kill Zhong'er, and in 643 BC, Zhong'er once again embarked on the road of escape, this time his destination was the state of Qi.
Zhong'er stayed in Di Guo for 12 years, and also married a girl named Ji Kui, and his life was actually quite good.
The road from Di Guo to the State of Qi is not far, and the party of Heavy Ear first passed through Wei Guo, but Wei Wengong was a snobbish eye and did not take care of Heavy Ear, "History" records: "Wei Wei, Wei Wen Gong is not polite", Heavy Ear and others traveled all the way east to finally reach the State of Qi.
At that time, the state of Qi was reigning as the Duke of Qi Huan, the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, and the Duke of Qi Huan not only gave high-standard hospitality to the arrival of the heavy ear, but also married a daughter of a clan to him, but soon after the civil unrest in Qi, a generation of overlords Qi Huangong was actually starved to death, but this did not seem to have much impact on the heavy ear, he was already accustomed to a comfortable life in the country of Qi: "Life is happy, I know anything else!" He will die here, and he will not be able to go. ”
Heavy ears are not in a hurry, but several people who fled with him are anxious, even his wife in the state of Qi is also anxious, and everyone discussed it and simply drunk heavy ears and forcibly took him away from the country of Qi, and the "Records of History" records: "It was conspiring with Zhao Wan, drunk and heavy ears, carrying a line." "Here is more about the wife of the State of Qi, who is well aware of the great righteousness of the matter for the sake of the heavy ear, and once asked the Duke of Qi Huan to send troops to escort the heavy ear back to china, after participating in the abduction of the heavy ear to leave the state of Qi, she did not accompany but stayed in the state of Qi, until the return of the heavy ear to the throne did not welcome her to the State of Jin.
Zhong'er had been in the Country of Qi for five years, and judging from his reluctance to leave, Heavy Ear's small life in the State of Qi should have been very comfortable.
Heavy ear traveled west to the state of Cao, where heavy ear was once again neglected, and the "Chronicle of History" recorded: "Passing over Cao, Cao Gonggong was disrespectful, and wanted to see heavy ear coercion." "The threat here refers to the ribs tightly connected, which belongs to a physiological deformity, but at the time it was considered to be the image of a saint, and Cao Gonggong may have wanted to peek at the heavy ear out of curiosity, which was indeed rude.
After Zhong'er left the Cao kingdom, he traveled south to the Song kingdom, at this time the Song state was one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, Song Xianggong, but Song Xianggong had just suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Hongshui (the Battle of Hongshui occurred in 638 BC), so although Chong'er was treated with courtesy by Song Xianggong in the Song kingdom, Chong'er and others left the Song kingdom and traveled west to Zheng again.
Zheng Wengong said, "The princes who have passed through this place, an can do their best!" "For this reason, the heavy ear was not treated with courtesy, and the heavy ear once again traveled south to the Chu kingdom, and the king of Chu Cheng entertained the heavy ear with the courtesy of the princes.
Although Zhong'er was treated solemnly in the State of Chu, he did not stay for several months, on the one hand, at this time, prince Huigong of Jin, who was a hostage in the State of Qin, fled the State of Qin and caused dissatisfaction in the State of Qin, and Duke Mu of Qin wanted to support The Famous Heavy Ear, so he invited Heavy Ear to go to the State of Qin; on the other hand, the State of Chu was a little far away from the State of Jin, which was not conducive to The Return of Heavy Ear and others to fight for the throne, so King Cheng of Chu sent a lot of gifts to Heavy Ear and escorted him to the State of Qin, which shows that the State of Chu is still good to Heavy Ear.
In the autumn of 637 BC, Zhong'er arrived in the Qin state, and The Duke of Qin Mu married the daughters of the five clans together to the heavy ear, which is the origin of the good of Qin and Jin, at this time, the son of the reigning Duke Hui of Jin (that is, the crown prince who fled the Qin state) was unpopular in the Jin state, and with the support of the troops sent by the Duke of Qin Mu, in 636 BC, the return of the heavy ear to the country successfully seized the throne, known in history as the Duke wen of Jin.
From 655 BC to 636 BC, he returned to China to succeed to the throne, from the State of Di to the State of Wei, the State of Qi, the State of Cao, the State of Song, the State of Zheng, the State of Chu and the State of Qin and the Return of the State of Jin, Duke Wen of Jin went into exile for nineteen years, passing through eight countries, of which wei, Cao, and Zheng were "disrespectful" to him, and the other five countries treated him with courtesy, in addition to which Zhong'er also married at least seven wives, which is considered to be a hanging all the way.
