【Translation】
Once upon a time, Zheng Wugong married the daughter of Shen Guojun, named Wu Jiang, and she gave birth to Duke Zhuang and Gong Uncle Duan. When Duke Zhuang was born, he had difficulty giving birth, and Wu Jiang was frightened, so he named him "寤生", and has hated him ever since. Wu Jiang favored GongShu Duan and wanted to establish Gong Shu Duan as his son, and repeatedly asked Duke Wu, but Duke Wu did not agree.
When Duke Zhuang ascended the throne, Wu Jiang requested that the seal be divided on behalf of Gong Shu Duan. Zhuang Gong said, "Zhiyi is a dangerous place, uncle Yu died there in the past, if it is sealed to other cities, I can do as I told." Wu Jiang then asked to be given to uncle Jingyi, and Duke Zhuang agreed, allowing him to live there, calling him Uncle Jingcheng.
Dafu Saiduchin said, "If the walls of the divided capital city exceed three hundred square meters long, it will become a scourge to the country." The system of the first kings stipulated that the largest city in the country could not exceed one-third of the capital, the medium could not exceed one-fifth of it, and the small one could not exceed one-quarter of it. Now, the walls of Gyeongeup are illegal, do not conform to the rule of law, and you will not be able to control them. Zhuang Gong said, "Jiang Clan wants this, how can I avoid this scourge?" Matsuri replied, "When is the Jiang Clan satisfied?" It is better to deal with it as soon as possible, and do not let the root of the curse grow and spread, as soon as it grows and spreads, it will be difficult to deal with. The spreading weeds are still hard to eradicate, let alone your pampered brother? Zhuang Gong said, "If you do more unrighteous things, you will surely kill yourself, so you just have to wait." ”
Soon after, Uncle Duan made the western and northern borders that originally belonged to the State of Zheng secretly under his control. Gongzi Lu said: "One country cannot stand the rule of two monarchs, what are you going to do now?" If you intend to give Zheng Guo to your uncle, then I ask to serve him; if not, then please get rid of him, so as not to make the people suspicious. Zhuang Gong said, "Leave him alone, he himself will be harmed." ”
Uncle Tai changed the two places to the places under his own jurisdiction, all the way to Liuyan. Zi Feng said, "You can act!" The land is expanded, and he will have the support of more ordinary people. Zhuang Gong said: "Unrighteous to the monarch, unkind to the brother, although the land has expanded, it will eventually collapse." ”
Gongshu Duan repaired the city, gathered the people, prepared sufficient food, repaired armor and weapons, and prepared infantry and chariots to attack. Zheng Guodu. Wu Jiang was ready to make an internal response for Gongshu Duan to open the city gate. Duke Zhuang knew the date of GongShu Duan's sneak attack on Zheng and said, "You can attack!" So he ordered Zi Feng to lead two hundred chariots to attack Jingyi. The people of Jingyi betrayed Gongshu Duan, and Gongshu Duan fled to Yancheng. Duke Zhuang chased him to Yancheng again. On May 23, Gongshu Duan fled to Gongguo.
The Spring and Autumn Chronicle records: "Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan. This means that Gongshu Duan does not abide by his duty to be a younger brother, so he does not say that he is a younger brother; the brothers fight like two monarchs, so they use the word "Ke"; calling Zhuang Gong "Zheng Bo" (meaning "big brother" is to ridicule his uneducated brother; driving away Gong Shu Duan is out of Zheng Zhuang Gong's original intention, not writing Gong Shu Duan automatically running away, implicitly accusing Zheng Bo of forcing Gong Shu Duan to leave.
Duke Zhuang placed Wu Jiang in chengying and swore, "Don't meet again until Huangquan (buried in the ground after death)!" After some time, Duke Zhuang regretted it. There was an official named Yingkao Uncle, who was an official in charge of the border of Yinggu, and when he heard about this, he specially offered tribute to Zheng Zhuanggong. Duke Zhuang gave him food. Uncle Yingkao kept the meat while eating. Zhuang Gong asked him why he was like this. Uncle Yingkao replied, "The little man has a mother, and she has eaten everything I eat, but she has never eaten the king's meat soup, please let me take it back and give it to her." Zhuang Gong said, "You have an old woman who can be honored, alas, but I don't have one!" Uncle Yingkao said, "Why do you say that?" Zhuang Gong told him the reason, and also told Uncle Yingkao how he regretted it. Uncle Yingkao replied, "What are your worries?" Just dig out the spring, dig a tunnel, and meet there, then who can you break your oath (not in accordance with the oath)? Zhuang Gong followed his words. Zhuang Gong went into the tunnel to see Wu Jiang and said, "How happy to meet in the big tunnel!" Wu Jiang walked out of the tunnel and fushi said, "How comfortable and happy to see each other outside the big tunnel!" So Jiang and Zhuang Gong as mothers and sons as before (that is, restored mother-child relationship).
The gentleman said: "Uncle Yingkao is a true filial piety, he not only filial piety to his mother, but also promote this filial piety to Zheng Bo. The Book of Poetry says, "Filial piety is constantly practicing filial piety, and will always be able to impress your kind." Maybe it was said to a filial piety like Uncle Yingkao, right? ”
【Reading】
This article is a fragment of the chronicle "Zuo Biao", but it is like a complete and beautiful narrative essay. The article presents the historical event of "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" that occurred more than 2,700 years ago before our eyes concretely and perceptibly, making us feel as if we have really entered the time tunnel and listening to the historical old man face to face to tell the origin, occurrence, development and final outcome of this event. Thus, not only let us understand the true situation of this historical event, but also let us see the inner world of the relevant characters, and then feel the sharpness and cruelty of the struggle for power within the supreme ruler of the Zheng Kingdom.
There are many reasons why this article can have such an artistic effect, but the main reason is to describe the method. This article does not record the development process of the event in a flat and straightforward way, but firmly grasps the development logic of the personality of the relevant characters and their words and deeds to carry out the account. In this way, we not only clearly see that it is the inherent personality of the relevant characters that determine the development and ending of the event; at the same time, we can see more clearly the inherent personality of the relevant characters in the development and ending of the event.
Through this article, we can also deeply understand a general writing feature of the "Zuo Zhuan", that is, there is no praise word, nor a derogatory word, but the praise and depreciation from it. This technique is also the method used in the book "Spring and Autumn". That is, the "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" that was often said later. That is, as we call Zheng Zhuang Gong Yin sinister cunning, Jiang's partial doting, and Gong Shu Duan's insatiable greed, it is not directly told to us by the author, but through their respective words and deeds. In a good narrative style, the author's tendency is naturally manifested in the development of the true and objective narration and description of the story. Isn't this how the author of "Zuo Biao" showed his political and ideological tendencies toward the incident of "Zheng Boke Duan YuYan"?
Of course, this article also has the characteristics of rigorous structure, clear hierarchy, concise language, etc., which belongs to the specific expression skills of the problem, and will not be repeated here.
