Life of the characters

Succession disturbance

Duke Ling of Jin, surnamed Ji and named Yigao, is the grandson of Duke Wen of Jin and the son of Duke Xiang of Jin. After Jin Xiang Gong succeeded to the throne, he made Yi Gao the crown prince. On August 14, the seventh year of Jin Xianggong (the sixth year of Lu Wengong, 621 BC), Jin Xianggong died. At that time, the crown prince Yigao was young, and the Minister of the state of Jin wanted to establish an elderly monarch because of the repeated disasters in the state of Jin. Zhao Dun (also known as Zhao Meng and Zhao xuanzi) said: "he established Yong, the younger brother of Duke Xiang of Jin, as the king. He is willing to do good and is old. His predecessor (Duke Wen of Jin) likes him and he is close to the state of Qin, which is our friend. The country will be stable if we build good people, and the country will be harmonious if we serve the elderly. The people who support our ancestors and like them will be filial. Making old friends will be stable. Those who possess these four virtues will surely be able to ease their troubles. " It's better to say, "young master Jia Le's younger brother. Childe Le's mother Chen Ying (huaiying, the daughter of Duke mu of Qin) was influenced by two monarchs (the two monarchs refer to Duke Huai and Duke Wen of Jin. Duke Huai of Jin is the nephew of Duke Wen of Jin). Chen Ying used to be the concubine of Duke Huai of Jin Dynasty. Duke Wen of Jin Dynasty accepted her as a concubine after succeeding to the throne and gave birth to her son. With her son, the people will surely be stable. " Zhao Dun said: "Chen Ying is humble and under nine concubines. What prestige does her son have! Besides, being favored by the two monarchs, it's promiscuity. Young master Yongle, as the son of the former monarch, could not take refuge in a big country and leave the remote and small state of Chen, which was isolated. If his mother is promiscuous and his son is isolated, he has no prestige. Chen is small and remote, and can't be rescued. How can he be stable? Because of the monarch, Du Qi abdicated to forced Jia and made her superior; because of the Di people, Du Qi abdicated to Ji Kai and was inferior to her, so she ranked fourth. For this reason, Xianjun liked her son and let him be an official in the state of Qin and become a prime minister. The state of Qin is big and close, and something is enough to rescue; the mother is moral, and the son is liked, which is enough to threaten the people. Isn't it OK to set up young master Yong? " So Zhao Dun sent Xianmi and Shihui to the state of Qin to meet young master Yong. Jia Ji also sent people to Chen to recall childe le. Zhao Dun sent people to kill young master le in Pidi. In September of the same year, Jia Ji resented Yang Chufu's usurpation of his official position. Knowing that he had no one to help him in the state of Jin, he sent xuju Ju to kill Yang Chufu. Soon, Zhao Dun deposed Jia Ji. In October, Jin Xianggong was buried. In November, Jia Ji fled to Zhai. In April of Jin Ling (the seventh year of Lu Wengong, 620 BC), the king of Qin, Qin Kanggong (Chen Ying's brother and Yong's uncle), sent Yong back to Jin, saying: "in the past, when Jin Wengong returned home, there were no guards, so there were disasters launched by LV and Ying." So he gave more to young master Yong. Mu Ying, Yi Gao's mother, weeps in the court day and night with Yi Gao in her arms, saying, "what's the crime of Xianjun? What is the crime of his legal successor? Instead of setting up his own son, he went outside to find the king. How are you going to settle this child? " Mu Ying Chu Chao took Yi Gao to Zhao Dun's house, kowtowed to Zhao Dun and said, "the first emperor once entrusted this child to you, saying," if the prince is successful, I will worship you; if not, I will resent you. " Although the monarch has passed away, his voice is still in his ears, but now he has lost it. What shall we do? " Zhao Dun and the doctors were afraid of Mu Ying and coercion, so they turned away from Yong, the young master they met, and set up Yi Gao to take over the throne for the Duke of Jin Ling. The state of Jin sent troops to stop the army of Qin who escorted young master Yong back. Zhao Dun served as a general and led his army to meet the Qin army. On the first day of April, the army of Jin defeated the army of Qin in Linghu and chased him to the head. On the second day of April, xianmihe fled to the state of Qin. In August of the same year, because King linggong of Jin had just succeeded to the throne, the monarchs of Qi, song, Wei, Zheng, Xu and Cao called on Zhao Dun and formed an alliance in Hudi.

Fighting for the king

In the summer of the second year of linggong (the eighth year of Lu Wengong, 619 BC), the state of Qin attacked the state of Jin and captured the Wucheng of Jin in revenge for the failure of Linghu campaign. In the spring of the fourth year of linggong (the tenth year of Lu Wengong, 617 BC), the state of Jin sent troops to attack the state of Qin and seize Shaoliang. In the summer of the same year, the state of Qin sent troops to attack the state of Jin and captured the capital of Jin (Zuo Zhuan for the Northern Expedition). In the sixth year of linggong of Jin Dynasty (the twelfth year of Lu Wengong, 615 BC), Qin Kanggong led his army to attack the state of Jin and seize its horses. In a rage, King linggong of Jin ordered Zhao Dun, Zhao Chuang, and Ying que to attack the Qin army. The Jin army fought against the Qin army in Hequ, and Zhao Chuang made the most contribution in this battle. in the seventh year of linggong of Jin Dynasty (the 13th year of Lu Wengong, 614 BC), Liu Qing of Jin State (Liu Qing, namely Zhao, Wei, Han, Zhi, fan, Zhongxing) worried that his followers would be appointed in the state of Qin, which would cause civil strife to Jin state, so he let Wei Shouyu rebel against Jin State and surrender to Qin state. Qin sent his entourage to Wei, so he seized the entourage and brought it back to Jin. in the eighth year of linggong (the fourteenth year of Lu Wengong, 613 BC), King Zhou Qing died. Because of the struggle for power and profit, he did not issue an obituary. The state of Jin sent Zhao Dun to lead 800 chariots to quell the civil strife of the Zhou Dynasty and to support King Kuang of the Zhou Dynasty.

Brutality

When he grew up, Duke Ling of Jin didn't abide by the principle of being king. He lived a luxurious life and made a lot of searches. He decorated the palace walls with color paintings. He shot people with a catapult from the high platform and watched them escape in fear for fun. The cook didn't cook the bear's paw. In his anger, Duke Ling killed the cook, put the cook's body in the basket, and let the officers and women carry the cook's body outside and pass the court. Zhao Dun and Sui Hui had repeatedly admonished Jin linggong before, but Jin linggong didn't listen. At this time, Zhao Dun and Sui Hui saw the dead man's hand in the basket, asked the cook why he was killed, and worried about Jin linggong's immoral behavior. They planned to admonish the Duke of Jin linggong, and then they said, "if you go to admonish and the monarch doesn't listen, then no one can go on admonishing. Let me persuade him first. If he doesn't accept it, you go on When I went to see Jin linggong, I walked forward three times. When I came to the eaves, Jin linggong looked up at him and said, "I already know my fault and intend to correct it." Then he kowtowed and said, "who can avoid making mistakes and correct them? There is nothing better than that. The book of songs Daya Dang says, "it's easy to have a good beginning, but it's hard to have a good ending." If so, too few people will make up for their mistakes. If you can always adhere to the good, then the country will have a guarantee, not only the ministers have a dependence. The book of songs Daya Jimin says, "the emperor has made mistakes, only Zhong Shanfu can make up for them." This means that King Xuan of Zhou can remedy the fault. If the monarch can make up for his faults, he will not lose his throne. " Jin linggong admitted his fault and said he would correct it, but he didn't correct it. After Zhao Dun repeatedly admonished Jin linggong, who was disgusted and afraid, so he sent a powerful man to assassinate Zhao dun. She went to Zhao Dun's home early in the morning and saw that the door of her bedroom was open and the living place was very simple. At that time, Zhao Dun was ready to go to the court in his formal dress. As it was still early, Zhao Dun and his clothes were sitting on the table. He retreated and sighed: "at this time, I still don't forget to respect the monarch. It's really the people's support. It is disloyal to kill the people's backers; it is dishonest to betray the king's orders. One of the two is a sin. I might as well die! " So she died on the locust tree in the courtyard of Zhao dun. in September of the 14th year of linggong of Jin Dynasty (the second year of Xuangong of Lu Dynasty, 607 BC), linggong of Jin Dynasty invited Zhao Dun to drink and ambushed soldiers in advance to kill him. On the right side of Zhao Dun's car, timiming found out the situation. He was afraid that Zhao Dun would get drunk, so he quickly walked up to the palace and said, "it's not appropriate for the courtiers to have a banquet with the king, and they don't leave after three rounds of wine." Timiming plans to let Zhao Dun leave before the ambush meeting to avoid suffering. So he picked up Zhao Dun and went down the hall. Jin linggong saw that Zhao Dun had left, and the soldiers in ambush had not met, so he first released a fierce dog to bite Zhao dun. Timmy went forward to fight with his bare hands and killed the fierce dog. Zhao Dun said, "what's the use of abandoning sages and using vicious dogs, though fierce?" They fought and retreated with the soldiers. As a result, Timmy died. At the beginning, Zhao Dun often went hunting in Shouyang mountain and lived in yisang. Zhao Dun once saw a man named lingpo under a mulberry tree (Shi Mi Ming is wrongly named in historical records) fell hungry, so he went to ask him about his illness. Lingpo said, "I haven't eaten for three days." Zhao Dun gave lingpo food to eat. Lingpo ate half of it and left half. Zhao Dun asked lingpo why he didn't eat. Lingpo said, "I've been a slave for three years. I don't know if my mother is alive. I'm near home. Please let me leave food for her Zhao Dun thought lingpo was filial, so he asked lingpo to finish his food and prepare more rice and meat for him. Later, lingpo served as the warrior of linggong of Jin Dynasty. When Zhao Dun was at war with the soldiers under linggong of Jin Dynasty, lingpo was in the battle. After a while, Jin linggong commands the soldiers in ambush to chase Zhao dun. Lingpo reverses his weapon to resist the ambush of Jin linggong. The ambush can't move forward, and Zhao Dun finally gets out of danger. When Zhao Dun asked him why he did this, he replied, "I am a hungry man in yisang." Zhao Dun asked his name and residence again, but he withdrew without answering. Zhao Dun fled by himself, but did not go out of the territory of Jin.
