Lu Huigong ruled for a long time, and during his reign there was already civil unrest in the state of Lu. After the death of Duke Hui of Lu, the borders of the state of Lu were very uneven, and a courtier named Fei Bo built a city in his own jurisdiction without the permission of the king of the state of Lu. There was also a courtier named Gongzi Yu, who dared to make an alliance with Zheng Guo and other congresses on the border as a courtier, which was a blatant reaction, and it was obvious that Lu Huigong's control over the political situation of the State of Lu was not stable. I have seen that there is a saying that "the country is greatly strengthened, and the people are satisfied", but this statement does not know where it comes from, and its credibility is doubtful.
In the history books, there is a saying that "the public concubine shengzi gave birth to a child." Long, to marry Song. The Song daughter is good, and Hui Gong takes his wife", Lu Huigong is most familiar with the gossip stories in his life, which is very embarrassing. People have always seemed to like gossip, especially these wind and moon stories in the political arena, often completely separating the integrity and authenticity of the characters, and in the end what remains in the text is only the new bottle of old wine, lu Huigong's marriage to his daughter-in-law is not a lonely case in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Wei Xuangong and King Chuping also marry their sons, and when they see that their daughters-in-law are beautiful, they marry their daughters-in-law.
Saying that Lu Huigong does not understand etiquette mainly means that he does not understand Zhou Li, especially if he has no respect for him. At that time, the political ecology was already very bad, and the rebellion of the King of Zhou You, Haojing, led to the demise of Western Zhou, and the King of Zhou Ping moved east to Luoyi, and for many years coexisted with the Western King of Zhou. During this time, the princes did not know which Tianzi to pay tribute to, the world was in a blind confusion, and most of the princely states had a sense of alienation from the etiquette and laws of Zhou Tianzi, and Qin Wengong sacrificed the Heavenly Emperor with the Tianzi ceremony, which became the beginning of the princes' chaotic government. Logically, as the most characteristic princely state of the Zhou people, the State of Lu should do the most for the decline of Zhou Tianzi, but Lu Huigong, who learned that Qin Wengong sacrificed the Heavenly Emperor, also wanted to sacrifice the Heavenly Emperor with the Tianzi ceremony.
The Lu people originally enjoyed privileges, since the founding of the country, they could sacrifice the Duke of Zhou with the Heavenly Son, so that the Duke of Lu Hui was able to advance, of course, he could not get the support of the Son of Heaven, and the King of Zhou Ping directly refused the request of the Duke of Lu Hui. However, Lu Huigong did not care about the thoughts of King Ping of Zhou at all, and he himself held a ceremony to sacrifice the Heavenly Emperor in the state of Lu. Therefore, Lu Huigong is a more wayward monarch, which can be said to be a combination of the same behavior of many emperors, such as disrespectful etiquette, such as lustful and lascivious, and such problems as Lu Huigong have. Lu Huigong's three wives were Mencius, Shengzi and Zhongzi, of which Mencius was the earliest lady, Shengzi was a concubine, and Zhongzi was the second righteous lady. When Mencius married into the Country of Lu, Horiko was a concubine who accompanied Mencius, the so-called maid, who was not of high status, but there were many more stories of Horiko than Mencius.
After Mencius's early death, Shengzi became a woman around Lu Huigong and gave birth to the prince Ji Xi, but because of the identity of the concubine, Ji Xi was also a concubine, and her political status was not high, that is, until later, the regent Lu Guo always claimed to rule on behalf of her brother, and when her brother grew up, she would return to power. Shengzi's son Ji Xi was originally still very favored by Duke Hui of Lu, and even after Ji Xi came of age, Duke Hui of Lu also sent people to the Song Kingdom to marry the second daughter of Duke Wu of Song, that is, Zhongzi, to the State of Song, in order to consolidate the relationship between Song and Lu. Where to know that this woman looks very iconic, just arrived in luguo was looked at by Lu Huigong, directly listed as a lady.
