The Five Kingdoms Alliance was finally broken by Zheng Zhuanggong after a wave of pit abduction, coercion and inducement, and Zheng Zhuanggong became the most undesirable lord of the Six Kingdoms of the Central Plains, and the power of small hegemony began to appear. Zheng Zhuanggong began to seek political approval. He decided to reconcile with Zhou Tianzi, after all, his grandfather had sacrificed his life for the royal family, and his father had escorted the former king to move the capital. Didn't think...
Hot face pasted with cold stomach
In the winter of 717 BC, after some tossing and turning, the surrounding area was temporarily quiet, and the Song state would not fight for a while and a half (the consumption of military vehicles was too large, it needed to be replenished, and it was almost the New Year, what kind of battle to fight).
Taking advantage of the good harvest in autumn, Zheng Zhuanggong planned to go on a pilgrimage to Zhou Tianzi (King Huan of Zhou) and give him a gift for the New Year, and next year I would continue to suppress Song and Wei under the banner of Tianzi.
What did King Huan of Zhou experience in Zheng Guo?
Zheng Zhuanggong pulled hundreds of truckloads of newly harvested wheat, drove hundreds of pigs and sheep to Chengzhou, and respectfully handed over his gift list.
"Accept the gift, you can go back."
"What? Lao Tzu sent so many things, you don't care about the meal? ”
"Can't afford it, send a guest". This week, Huan Wang's words were like gold, and he didn't say much nonsense (how much grievance he had suffered as a hostage in Zheng Guo).
"Let's ride a donkey and read the record book—walk and see!" Zheng Zhuanggong pulled hundreds of empty cars back to Zheng Guo, fortunately, Zheng Guo was not a few miles away from Chengzhou, and his stomach was not hungry.
The uncle gave his nephew New Year's tea and came back without drinking it, and the hot face was pasted with a cold ass, and he never came back. (Zheng Boru Zhou, the first huan king of the first dynasty.) The king was disrespectful. ）
Zheng Zhuanggong: Hmm, I fed the dogs with hundreds of truckloads of grain
Uncle Yusheng was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.
"We Zheng Guo are still too small and lack influence", Zheng Zhuanggong thought about Zheng Guo's future way out on the way back.
Fast forward to the autumn of the next year, and the indomitable neighbors next door who were busy with farm work should be thinking about it again to practice martial arts.
This time, Zheng Zhuanggong was ready to preemptively attack, but this time it was not a fight, it was a peace talk.
Who do you talk to about peace? Of course, look for the Song Kingdom first.
The Song Dynasty, a large country with a different surname, will always be the object of solicitation by the Central Plains Zhuji surnamed states.
Zheng Guo sent a powerful lobbying team to the Song Kingdom, and in the court with the Song State's pro-Zheng faction, in the tavern with the Song State's pro-Zheng faction to talk about wine, one after another, finally let the Song State's high-level anti-Zheng heart waver.
But why does song guo listen to you? It also depends on analyzing the gains and losses. Since the Song Kingdom was fooled by the state to form a four-nation alliance to fight zheng guo once, it had been a continuous war. This war is to fight money, grain, weapons, military salaries, the national treasury is drying up day by day, the country is tired, this Song Gong can still see clearly, and if he fights again, the people will be resentful.
Besides, after fighting with Zheng Guo for so many years, I didn't take advantage of it at all, and Song Yinggong knew that this Ji Yu was not easy to provoke, and he couldn't afford to provoke, forget it, since you all took the initiative to show goodwill, I have to go down this step, and we won't fight.
After settling the Song Kingdom, Zheng Zhuanggong began to fool Chen Guo again, and Chen Guo was also afraid of Zheng Guo, who had just been beaten up the year before.
Soon, whether they were afraid of being beaten or angry and making money, Zheng and Chen also made peace. Not only diplomatic relations were eased, but also marriages were formed. Duke Huan of Chen married his daughter to Duke Ku of Zheng (the eldest son of Duke Zhuang of Zheng and the future successor of Zheng Guo), and the world was at peace.
Speaking of this Zheng Guo gongzi marrying a relative, I have to talk about etiquette.
According to the Zhou Li, the new daughter-in-law of the princes must first go to the Zongmiao Temple to worship the ancestors and tell the ancestors that this is the person who will help our family continue the incense in the future, and the ancestors will bless her and let her have a few more babies, so that we Zheng Guoren Ding can prosper.
But this man was suddenly clever and confused for a while, and as soon as his daughter-in-law entered the door, she first pulled into the cave room (monkey rush).
Therefore, the prophet at that time predicted that this prince would suddenly lose Zheng Guo in the future (the ancestors had not yet worshipped and created people first, and if they were not married and pregnant, they would indeed lose their integrity, and this matter would be discussed later).
Relations between countries are like children living in the house, and it is perfectly normal to fight and reconcile, and it is nothing more than driven by interests. Out of the needs of national interests, what hatred and resentment can also be resolved for a while; it is also out of the consideration of national interests, money, beauty, are commodities that can be traded.
No, Zheng Zhuanggong, who had just been angry with King Huan of Zhou, suddenly stopped taking revenge and brought the Qi people to make a pilgrimage to Zhou Tianzi.
The King of Zhou was also very polite this time, and received him warmly, what braised bear paws, steamed deer tails, smashing pots and selling iron were all served.
After all, people came with rich Qi people, Qi land is rich and rich and many people are stupid, you Zhou Tianzi will throw a lot of money as soon as you meet, this week the king can not be happy. Besides, in front of the Jiang family, your old Ji family uncle and nephew turned their faces too much to pay attention to political rules. Therefore, this time, King Huan of Zhou and Duke Zheng Zhuang played a good play of uncles and nephews.
The uncles and nephews plus Qi Guofu ate and drank a meal, and blew all night: After anything happened to Tianzi, as long as the flag was waved, I was the first Qin King of the Qi State (this was put together by the Duke of Qi Huan decades later with a slogan of "Zun Wang Zhiyi").
Not taking the lead in shouting the slogan of Zun Wang Yi is a major flaw in Zheng Zhuanggong's life, of course, this is also related to Zheng Guo's absolute strength.
Zheng Zhuanggong was not far behind: Tianzi asked me to beat whoever I wanted (at this time, Zheng Zhuanggong, who was drunk high, could not imagine that he would beat Tianzi himself a few years later).
Zheng Zhuanggong is a strong person, just took a hot face to paste a cold ass back, why do you have to take the Qi people to take the face to stick to the ass for the second time? Just to make you Zhou Tianzi happy? Who believes?
People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Zheng Guo has indeed been a lot of prestige in recent years, but in the end, it is a second-rate country mixed between many big countries, and it should be endured, and the cold ass should be pasted.
Not long ago, Zheng Zhuanggong had to count on Qi Gonggong to help him settle the two wrongdoers of Song and Wei. Although Zheng and Song talked about peace this year, Zheng Zhuanggong was not at ease. The Song people turned their faces faster than they could turn over the book, and it was most common for the ink of the alliance book armistice agreement to turn back and fight with you again in the Spring and Autumn Warring States.
However, this Qi Qi was not aggressive and easy to solve the fight, pulling Song and Wei to mediate the old grudge of the Battle of Zheng Guo's East Gate.
When Song and Wei saw that the Qi people were out of the horse, they could not help but give face, so they agreed, and also formed an alliance with the Qi people, and Qi Guo and Zheng Guo were good friends, which completely expressed the ice release of the previous suspicions.
In the final analysis, he was still afraid of the State of Qi, although the State of Qi had not yet dominated the world like the Later Duke of Qi Huan, but at that time, after all, it was already more powerful than the princes, at least more money than anyone. If you don't give the State of Qi face, in the future, Zheng Guo and the State of Qi will be able to abuse the Central Plains, these two countries will fight you, and even if you Song and Wei join forces with Chen and Cai, the two pig teammates and even more helpers, they are not their opponents.
It just so happened that the Qi people sent a step over, and it was time to go down.
The East of the world has finally stopped.
With the powerful ally of the State of Qi and the leveling of several unfriendly neighbors, Zhou Tianzi's cold stomach has temporarily become a hot ass, zheng guo's international living environment has been greatly improved, and Zheng Guo's national strength has also entered a period of rapid development. Then there's the rhythm of domination. To know how Zheng Guo became a spring and autumn bully, and continue to pay attention to the next issue of interpretation.
