Verse 7 of Mencius's Confession: "As for Zi Du, the whole world does not know its own." Those who do not know the sons and daughters, and those who have no eyes."
Mencius said that there are no people in the world who do not know that their sons are handsome and beautiful, and those who do not know that their children are beautiful must not have long eyes. Even Mencius had to express such an exclamation, which showed that zi was worthy of being the first beautiful man in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, from ancient times to the present, the ending of people who are too beautiful is often somewhat lamentable, and the controversy caused by it is relatively large, and the protagonist of today's story, Gongsun Zi, is no exception.
Gongsun Zidu (公孙子都), Ji (姬), courtesy name 阏 (e), zi du (子都). One of the top ten beautiful men in ancient times, Zheng Guoren in the Spring and Autumn Period. We have said in the previous article that the sons of princes are called Gongzi, and the sons of Gongzi are called Gongsun, so the sons are all nobles of Zheng Guo and the grandsons of Zheng Huan. Born prominent, skilled in martial arts, and handsome in appearance, it is no wonder that zheng zhuanggong, the monarch at that time, was also very fond of him, and even the "Book of Poetry" used "Zidu" as a synonym for handsome men. However, since ancient times, people with red faces and short lives, people who are too perfect are often complex in personality, and the fate of Zidu is how we continue to look down:
In 712 BC, Duke Yin of Lu and Duke Zhuang of Zheng met at Guodi and planned an attack on the State of Xu. Zhuang Gong ordered the remake of the "Scorpion Arc" banner and issued an order: "Those who have the ability to carry the banner and walk as usual, worship as the vanguard, that is, give it with a car." Doctor Feng Shuying pulled up the flagpole with one hand and held it tightly. Take three steps forward, take three steps back, still erect in the car, slightly out of breath. The sergeants all applauded. Uncle Yingkao, not willing to show weakness, actually danced the flag like a spear, and the audience was shocked. Zhuang Gong daxi said, "True Tiger Chen! When subjected to this car as a pioneer. ”
Uncle Yingkao
Before the words could be heard, a young general came out of the class, with a face like Fu Powder, lips like Zhu, a purple and gold crown with a headband, wearing a woven golden and green robe, pointing at Uncle Kao and shouting: "You can dance the flag, but I can't dance, this car is left!" "Stride forward. Uncle Kao saw that he was fierce, holding the flag pole in one hand and the rut in the other, and flew as if running. The young general was in hot pursuit and was about to reach the main road, and The Grand Duke of Zhuang was persuaded by a word of persuasion, and when he saw that Uncle Kao had gone far away, he hated and returned. "This man despises my name and no one, and I will kill him!" "This young general is exactly The Grandson Zidu, so it can be seen that although he is beautiful, he is a careful eye."
In the autumn of that year, Duke Zhuang personally led a large army to unite with Qilu and the two countries to attack xu guo, Xu guo was originally a small country, the city was not high, the pool was not deep, it was surrounded by three kingdoms military vehicles, densely packed, surrounded by water, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken, but Xu Zhuanggong was a prince with a way, and the people worked together to be firm, so they could not take it quickly. By noon on the third day, Uncle Yingkao took the "Scorpion Arc" banner on the carriage, grabbed it under duress, jumped forward, and took the lead in boarding Xucheng. Gongsun Zi was quick-sighted, seeing that Uncle Kao had already entered the city first, jealous of his merits, and identified Uncle Kao in the crowd of people, and a cold arrow was sent by The Flying Arrow, which hit the back of his heart, and Uncle Kao fell down from the city with a flag and died on the spot.
Grandchildren are all
After returning to China, Zhuang Gong rewarded the soldiers, and was deeply disgusted with the person who shot Uncle Yingkao, but he did not know who it was, so he asked all the soldiers who participated in the attack on Xu Guo to take out pigs, dogs, chickens and other sacrifices, and the wizard led them together to curse the murderer who shot Uncle Yingkao. Three days later, Zheng Zhuanggong led the ministers to pay their respects in front of Uncle Yingkao's spirit. Suddenly, I saw only one person, with a disheveled face, walked up to Zheng Zhuanggong, and cried and said, "Uncle Chenkao first ascended XuCheng, why should he lose to the country?" They were killed by the treacherous courtiers who were all fighting for the car, and were shot with cold arrows. The subject has been asked to god to grant him his life. Remembered by the Lord, Nine Springs Wilder! "Speaking, he controlled his throat with his hand, and the blood spurted from his throat like a injection, and he was out of breath when he ascended." Duke Zhuang went forward to take a closer look, but it was Gongsun Zidu, who was anxious to save him, and he could not wake up, and it turned out that zidu had been bound to death by Uncle Yingkao.'
