Lu Huigong: Don't you think, I want me to feel

If you ask which princely state of the pre-Qin Dynasty is the best Zhou Li? The answer will definitely be Lu Guo. Because the State of Lu is the fiefdom of the famous sage Zhou Gongdan in history, and Zhou Gongdan is the author of the "Zhou Li" lineage. Lu Guo was already the hometown of the saints at that time. By the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the State of Lu had successively produced world-famous Confucian sages such as Confucius and Mencius. In fact, Confucius and other Confucian sages became famous before they became famous. Han Xuanzi, the shangqing of the Jin Dynasty, said, "Zhou Li is all in Luyi. I am now aware of the virtue of the Duke of Zhou, and the king of Zhou. ”

Lu Guo is the best Zhou Li, which is probably a consensus of people in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, not everyone in the good Zhou Li's Lu Country will not do anything more polite. To be precise, not everyone in the country of Lu will act according to Zhou Li in everything. After all, the Spring and Autumn Warring States was an era of collapse and happiness. In such an era, the princes were not as honest as the Western Zhou Dynasty in honoring the Son of Heaven, and naturally those who acted completely according to the Zhou rituals were already much worse than before. Lu Huigong in the forty-six years, the overall performance is OK. However, he did two things that were not polite.

The first thing is to sacrifice to the heavens. According to the Book of Rites and the Imperial System, "The Son of Heaven sacrifices heaven and earth, the princes sacrifice the Society, and the Doctor sacrifices the Five Ancestors." It can be seen that the sacrifice of heaven is the work of the Son of Heaven, and the work of the princes is to sacrifice the goddess of the earth (the god of earth and the god of ceres). After Zhou Tianzi moved east, there were too many princes who had overstepped the etiquette system, and there were too many princes who wanted to "share worries" for Tianzi. Therefore, the sacrifice of heaven is no longer the exclusive work of Zhou Tianzi. When Zhou Ping 0 Wang Ji Yiusu was fifteen years old, Qin Wengong dreamed of a scene of "yellow snakes descending from heaven to earth" because of a dream, and then he engaged in a heavenly sacrifice ceremony. Later, when this matter spread to the Central Plains, Lu Huigong also wanted to carry out a similar ceremony. Of course, Zhou Tianzi was obviously not willing to agree. However, Lu Huigong felt that this matter, how you think it is not important, what is important is that I think. My turf, I'm in charge! Therefore, later he still performed the ritual of offering sacrifices to the heavens.

The second thing is that the father marries the son. In his early years, Lu Huigong welcomed a lady named Mencius and took a concubine named Zi. Lady Mencius died young and did not give birth to a concubine. Instead, Sonzi gave Birth to Lu Huigong a son named Sigu. Without a concubine, Sonic's eldest son, Shigu, suddenly became the best candidate to take over Lu Hui's class. Therefore, after gongzi Shigu became an adult, Lu Huigong and Shengzi really thought about it when they chose relatives for this son. They chose Zhongzi, the precious daughter of Song Wugong next door.

The princess with the prince looks like a beautiful fairy tale. In fact, if this marriage is done, it is not only a fairy tale of the love of the princess and the prince, but also a standard story of a beautiful person and a talented person. Because the princess of the Song Dynasty, Zhongzi, was a well-known great beauty, and the gongzi Xiangu was also the future Duke of LuYin, and his person could also be regarded as a virtuous name. Legend has it that when Zhongzi was born, she had the words "Lady For Lu" on her hand. This matter is also recorded in the "Left Biography", which shows that the Song Kingdom has also done enough homework for the marriage of its own princess to Lu Guo. Because the words "For Lady Lu" on Zhongzi's hand are obviously pretending to be xuanfu by the Song people. However, from the perspective of touching the marriage and the alliance of marriage, the approach of the Song people is also understandable. After all, the State of Lu was also a very large princely state at that time, the future monarch of the State of Lu, and now the eldest prince, Xiangu, is also a personable and good prince.

However, fairy tales are fairy tales after all. There is always a gap between fairy tales and reality. In reality, the person who marries the princess is not necessarily the prince, but probably the father of the prince. When Zhongzi came to the Country of Lu, Lu Huigong fell in love with his daughter-in-law Zhongzi at first sight. Subsequently, the legend that Zhongzi was born with "Lady Lu" on his hand also became the saying that Lu Huigong naturally did not allow him to marry Zhongzi himself. Because he is the monarch of the State of Lu. So, once again, he acted alone, not for you to feel, as long as I felt. Completely disregarding his son's feelings, he married Zhongzi himself.

In the pre-Qin era, the matter of the father marrying the son and wife was not the only case of Lu Huigong, but Lu Huigong was the first case in the Spring and Autumn Period. After Lu Huigong married Zhongzi, it was not long before they had a young son named Yun. Gongzi Yun was made crown prince by Lu Hui not long after his birth. In fact, in terms of establishing an heir, abolishing the long and establishing the young is not a wise choice, nor is it in accordance with etiquette. However, Lu Huigong did not want you to feel, as long as I felt, to do things that were not in line with etiquette, and to do things that were not in line with etiquette were forced to become reasonable. After all, no prince will retain his original prince after his father marries his son. Later, after Duke Xuangong of Wei and King Chuping forcibly married the beauties who had originally come to marry the prince, they also invariably moved their minds to change the prince. How could Lu Huigong be exempt from vulgarity!

In addition, Zhongzi's identity is ultimately the daughter of Duke Wu of Song and the princess of the State of Song. From this point of view, Nakako's original identity should be higher than that of Phonon. The fact that Lu Huigong forcibly married Zhongzi was itself a bit of a thin face of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, on the issue of Zhongzi's reputation and heir, even the thin face of the Song Kingdom was not appropriate.

Therefore, the crown of the crown prince finally fell on the head of Gongzi Yun.
