In 651 BC, the Palace of the Jin Dynasty was filled with bloody rain and wind, and the ministers were busy killing and establishing a new king, all of which stemmed from the abolition of the Jin Dynasty.
In his lifetime, Jin Xiangong killed decisively, "enjoying the seventeenth country and serving the country thirty-eight", making the Jin state a great power, and its status was second only to that of the hegemonic State of Qi. In order to infiltrate his power into the Central Plains, Duke Mu of Qin co-opted the State of Jin and personally asked the Duke of Jin for his affection, and the Duke of Jin married his eldest daughter Boji to him.

However, in family matters, Jin Xiangong could not figure it out. In his later years, he favored Li Ji's sisters, and the pampered and proud Li Ji forced the crown prince Shen Sheng to commit suicide, and Gongzi Zhong'er, Yi Wu and others fled one after another, and the only princes in the capital of the Jin Dynasty were Xi Qi, who was born of Li Ji, and Zhuo Zi, born of her sister. On the verge of death, Duke Xian of Jin entrusted the orphan minister Xun Xi to assist Xi Qi in succeeding to the throne. At the funeral of Duke Xiangong of Jin, Prince Shensheng's master Rick henchmen killed Xi Qi. Xun Xi also made Zhuo Zi the new king, and Rick sent someone to kill Zhuo Zi and whip Li Ji to death in the court, and Xun Xi committed suicide.

The kingdom could not be left without a monarch for a day, and the fleeing prince Yiwu promised to dedicate the eight cities of Hexi to The Duke of Qin and the Fenyang Zhiyi to Rick in order to take the throne. Driven by huge interests, Duke Mu of Qin and Duke Li Keli should cooperate with each other to assist Yi Wu to take the throne, and the history is called Jin Huigong.
As soon as Jin Huigong ascended to the throne, he showed his villainous side. On the grounds that the ministers Lü Province, Hao Rui, and others did not agree, he refused to donate the five cities of Hexi to the Qin state, deprived Rick of his military powers, and forced Rick to commit suicide.
Stills of Jin Huigong
In the fourth year of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin State was in a famine, and the Jin Huigong was cheeky to borrow grain from the Qin State. Pi Bao persuaded Qin Mugong not to give grain and took the opportunity to attack the Jin state, while Gongsun Zhi persuaded Linguo that it was difficult not to give, Qin Mugong asked Baili Xi, and Bai Lixi said: "Yiwu has offended you, what is the crime of his people?" In the end, Qin Mugong transported a large amount of grain to the Jin state by water and land, which is known in history as the "Battle of Panzhou".
Heavenly Dao is good reincarnation, and after two years, there is also famine in the Qin Kingdom. Qin Mugong borrowed grain from Jin Huigong, and the Jin state not only did not borrow grain, but also took the opportunity to send troops to the Qin state. The Qin army fought angrily and won three battles and three victories. In 645 BC, Qin and Jin engaged in battle in Hanyuan, the Jin army was defeated, and the Jin Xiangong was captured.
Duke Mu of Qin originally wanted to kill Duke Hui of Jin, but after Boji's intercession, Duke Huigong of Jin sacrificed the land of Hexi and sent Crown Prince Yuan as a hostage in the Qin State before returning to China. In order to control the crown prince, Duke Mu of Qin married his daughter Huaiyin to her.

After Jin Huigong returned to China, he knew that he had lost the hearts of the people, and he was afraid that the people of his country would support Gongzi's heavy ears, so he sent assassins to assassinate him. After receiving the news, Zhong Er hurriedly fled to the State of Qi. In 638 BC, Duke Hui of Jin fell seriously ill, and Crown Prince Huan fled from the Qin state back to the Jin state. The escape of Crown Prince Yuan made Qin Mugong, who was already dissatisfied with the Jin state, even more annoyed.
In 637 BC, Duke Hui of Jin died, and Crown Prince Huan took the throne, known in history as duke Huai of Jin. The Duke of Jin Huai was afraid of the heavy ear to seize the throne, so he ordered that those who fled with the heavy ear must return to the country as scheduled, and the uncles of the heavy ear, Fox Yan and fox hair, both followed the heavy ear and did not return to Jin, and the Duke of Jin Huai killed the grandfather of the heavy ear, the fox. Fox Tu was the elder of the Three Dynasties, and as soon as the Duke of Jin Huai ascended to the throne, he killed the old minister, causing dissatisfaction among the jin courtiers. In the end, the subjects of the Jin state and the Qin state joined forces with The Emperor to return to the throne, and the Duke of Jin Huai was killed. Zhong'er conformed to the people's will, and in only 4 years he dominated the princes with the assistance of the virtuous ministers and good ministers, making the Jin state the most powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period.
During the reign of Duke Hui of Jin, the State of Jin was in a state of internal friction. As soon as he ascended to the throne, he took revenge, violated the agreement with the Qin state, undermined the good of Qin and Jin, and forced the death of the minister Rick who helped him ascend to the throne, thus losing the trust of the people. In the year of famine in the Jin Dynasty, Qin Mugong did not care about the previous suspicions to rescue each other, and when the Qin State encountered a famine, the Jin Huigong not only did not save but took advantage of the danger of people to attack, and eventually he himself was also captured, which was the result of the lack of help. After being captured, Jin Huigong returned to China, knowing that he had lost the hearts of the people, but did not think of remedying, but instead sent people to kill his brother Zhong'er, causing the whole jin state to rebel against him.

What Duke Hui of Jin left to the crown prince was a State of Jin with scattered hearts. Crown Prince Yuan, like his father, first provoked the Qin state, and then killed the heavy subjects, and the jin subjects could not bear it, and finally met the Jin Wen Gong Zhong'er, which showed the power of words and deeds. For those who are kings, every word and deed is related to the society, and the father and son of Jin Huigong are typical negative teaching materials.
