After Ji Wuzi of the State of Lu became the suzerainty of the Ji clan, the central idea changed from auxiliary government to control of the imperial government, the most obvious of which was that the power of appointment and dismissal of the monarch was monopolized by Sanhuan. After the death of Duke Lu Xiang, he was supposed to take the throne, but Ji Wuzi was afraid that Himeno could not become his puppet, and after Himeno's violent illness and death, he supported Lu Zhaogong, who had a complex personality, despite the persuasion of his uncle Sun Bao, which could bring trouble to Sanhuan.
Lu Zhaogong's life can be said to be a nest of life, a stubborn death, his ambition and luck do not match, strength and war do not match, political dependence on Sanhuan, diplomatic dependence on Sanhuan, Lu Zhaogong and Sanhuan confrontation is doomed to be a tragedy. When Lu Zhaogong reigned, Sanhuan's strength was even more inflated, which made him very unhappy and decided to fight with Sanhuan. On the contrary, Ji Pingzi's luck is very good, his father died early, so his grandfather Ji Wuzi passed on the position of suzerain to himself, and his ambition from childhood is to become a ruler above ten thousand people under one person, and he can not put the monarch in his eyes. Two equally unwilling people collided together and staged a thrilling drama in the former dynasty of the Lu Kingdom.
The drama was kicked off, or because of a cockfight.
The Ji clan supported Lu Zhaogong to ascend the throne, and the attitude of the Ji clan's descendants towards the monarch became more and more arrogant. The status of the patriarch Ji Pingzi at this time can be said to be a country's military and political affairs in my hands, as the saying goes, full of warmth and lust, naturally inseparable from the chicken. But Ji Pingzi didn't like that kind of chicken, he liked a chicken that could fight. The same hobby as him happens to be the patriarch of the Hao clan, Hao Zhaobo, the two people should have become friends, but they became sworn enemies because of cockfighting.
Coincidentally, Ji Pingzi suddenly offended the two Zhaobo, because at this time, Zang Zhaobo's younger brother Zang Hui, who succeeded Zang Zhaobo as the suzerainty of the Zang clan, also hid in Ji Pingzi's house. Zang Hui also wanted to be the suzerainty of the Zang clan, so he slandered Zang Zhaobo's wife for adultery. Fortunately, Zang Zhaobo had carefully investigated and exposed Zang Hui's conspiracy. In order to avoid his brother's punishment, Zang would flee to Ji Pingzi's mansion for protection. However, Zang Zhaobo, who was bent on punishing Zang Hui, did not give Ji Pingzi face and imprisoned Ji Pingzi's family. Ji Pingzi became angry and directly detained Zang Zhaobo's cronies.
Lu Zhaogong could find an excuse to deal with Ji Pingzi at this moment, and since neither the Zang clan nor the Hao clan liked Ji Pingzi, he would unite with these two clans to eliminate Sanhuan. However, Wanwan did not expect that Lu Zhaogong's idea was shattered by reality, and he had always aspired to be a loyal subject and tried his best to resist Ji Pingzi's uncle Zhaozi, who foresaw that once Ji Pingzi died, the uncle Sun clan would inevitably be a dead end, on the contrary, Ji Pingzi's uncle Sun clan could still stand, so he decided to rescue Ji Shi and defeat Lu Zhaogong's army. Meng Yizi, the suzerainty of the Meng clan, also felt that if Ji Pingzi died, the Meng Sun clan would inevitably collapse, and he decisively helped the Ji Sun clan and captured and killed Gao Zhaobo. At the same time as Lu Zhaogong's thoughts, the three largest ministers of the State of Lu actually formed a tacit understanding, which may not be the result of his hopes.
This struggle against the Three Huans lasted only one day from the beginning of the army to the defeat, and after the defeat of the struggle, Lu Zhaogong was expelled from his country. In the days that followed, Lu Zhaogong's life was constantly staged by the humiliation of other countries and the betrayal of his own people. After expelling the monarch, the first to be soft-hearted was his uncle Sun Zhaozi, who asked to welcome back zhaogong after seeing that his monarch was not doing well in the state of Qi, but he was constantly repented and deceived by the Mengsun and Ji clans. Knowing that the monarch could not return, Akiko died in anger, leaving her last loyalty as a courtier at the end of her life. Like him, he was loyal to the Patriarch of the Zijia Clan, and although his family's glory was no longer as great as before, he had always been with Lu Zhaogong, all the time.
After Lu Zhaogong left the state of Lu, Ji Pingzi became the uncrowned king, and carried out a great purge of the Duke of Lu's clan, and the villain Zang Hui became the suzerainty of the Zang clan, and the uncle sun clan was controlled by the uncle and grandson Chengzi, and the fate of the zi family clan can be imagined. There were many stories during Lu Zhaogong's exile, the most touching of which was Yan Zi's evaluation of Lu Zhaogong: "The fool has many regrets, the unworthy one is self-virtuous, the drowning person does not ask for the fall, and the fan does not ask for the way." Drowning and then asking for directions, lost and then asking for directions, for example, when it is difficult to cast soldiers, choking and digging wells, although the speed is not enough. Yan Zi's point of view is very philosophical, the monarch who admits mistakes in his mouth will not really become better, and the common people are more concerned about the ruler than the ruler who is high like a god, but who is good for him. The stupidity and excessive resistance of the monarch can easily lead himself to the power of his powerful courtiers.
From the body of Lu Zhaogong, who was expelled by his courtiers, we can see that the monarch is not more noble than the people, and when he encounters courtiers committing rebellion, he is powerless, and can only endure other countries playing a mighty manner against him, and the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. History is full of accidental factors such as cockfighting incidents, but these accidental factors are only the fuse, and what really changes Lu Zhaogong's outcome is the inevitability of his rebellion against fate. However, the decline of the Luguo Gongfu could not be saved and could not be resisted. He also had the same tragic feelings as Meng Yizi's teacher Confucius, who pushed him down, and he also watched Lu Guo stage a farce of chaos and collapse. At the same time, the Jin state, which had humiliated Lu Zhaogong, also faced the rise of the three families of Han Zhao and Wei, and the Warring States era of changing heaven and earth was not far away.
Duke Lu Zhao died of depression after many years of exile in other countries, and Duke Lu Ding succeeded to his throne, can he lead the country of Lu to stability?
