Life of the characters

To be estranged from the public

Yiwu's mother, Xiao RongZi, is the daughter of the Fox family of Zhai state. She married Jin Xiangong with her elder sister, Da Rong Huji. The great Jung fox lady gave birth to Chong'er, Duke Wen of Jin Dynasty. Chong'er was older than Yiwu.

In 665 BC (the 12th year of emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty), Li Ji, the favorite concubine of emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty, gave birth to his son Xi Qi. Jin Xiangong decided to abolish the crown prince Shen Sheng and said, "Quwo is the place where the ancestral temple of our ancestors is located. Puyi is close to the state of Qin and quyi is close to the state of Zhai. I can't rest assured if I don't send my sons to guard there." So he sent Prince Shensheng to live in Quwo, Chonger in Puyi, and Yiwu in quyi (Quzhi Erqu, North Qu in the northeast of Xiji County, and South Qu in the South). Jin Xiangong and Xi Qi, the son of Li Ji, lived in Jiangdu (now Southeast of Yicheng, Shanxi). Jin Xiangong has eight sons, among which the crown prince Shensheng, Chonger and Yiwu are very virtuous. Since Duke Xian of Jin favored Li Ji, he alienated the three sons.

On the run

In 656 BC (the 21st year of emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty), Li Ji framed Prince Shensheng and poisoned him. Prince Shensheng committed suicide in Quwo. At that time, Yiwu and Chong'er went to the court, and someone said to Li Ji, "these two CHILDES hate you for slandering and killing the prince." Li Ji was afraid and slandered Jin Xiangong. They said, "Shen Sheng poisoned his meat. Both of them know about it." Yiwu and Chonger were very scared when they heard the news. So Chong'er fled to Puyi, and Yiwu fled to quyi, and kept watch according to quyi.

In 655 B.C. (22nd year of Duke Xian of Jin Dynasty), Duke Xian of Jin was angry with his two sons and left without saying goodbye. He thought that they meant to rebel, so he sent troops to attack Puyi. A eunuch named Bo in Puyi forced Chong Er to commit suicide. Chong'er escapes over the wall, and bo'an pursues him. He only cuts off Chong'er's sleeve. Chong Er went to Zhai. Duke Xian of Jin sent people to quyi to fight against Yiwu. Qucheng was well guarded and could not be captured.

In 654 BC (the 23rd year of emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty), Emperor Xiangong of Jin sent Jia Hua and others to attack quyi, and the people of Quyi fled. Yiwu is ready to flee to Zhai. Ying Rui (Ji Rui) said: "no, Chong'er is already there. If you run away again, the state of Jin will transfer troops to prove and punish Zhai. If Zhai people are afraid of Jin, you will be in trouble. It's better to flee to the state of Liang. The state of Liang is close to the state of Qin, and the state of Qin is powerful. After the death of the king of Jin, you can ask the state of Qin to send you home." So he fled to the state of Liang (located in the south of Hancheng, Shaanxi Province).

To be king

In September of 651 BC (the 26th year of emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty), Emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty died. Rick and Pizheng, the officials of the state of Jin, wanted to take Chong'er back. They used Shen Sheng's, Chong'er's and Yiwu's party members to make trouble and said to Xun Xi, "the three enemies are going to take action. There are Qin outside and Jin people inside to help them. What are you going to do? " Before he died, Duke Xian of Jin had ordered xunxi to support Xi Qi as the king, so xunxi said, "I can't live up to the last words of the former king."

In October, Rick killed Xi Qi at the funeral place, before Jin Xiangong was buried. Xunxi prepared to repay him with his death. Some people said that it was better to make Xi Qi's younger brother mourn for his son (Zhuozi) and help him. Xunxi made mourning for his son as the king and buried the Duke Xian of Jin Dynasty.

In November, Rick killed his mourning son in the court, and Xun Xi also died for him. Rick and others have killed Xi Qi and mourning son, so they send people to Zhai to meet Chong ER and want to support him as king. Chong er said with thanks, "I ran away against my father's orders, but my father died and I couldn't wait on my son's funeral according to his etiquette. How dare I go back to China! I'd better ask the doctor to set up another childe. " The messenger returns to Rick, and Rick sends people to the state of Liang to meet Yiwu. Yiwu wanted to go back. Lu Sheng and Ying Rui said, "there are still young men who can be established in China, but they come to find you abroad. It's hard to be trusted. It is estimated that if we do not go to the state of Qin and return to the state of Jin with the help of the power of a powerful country, we may be in danger. " So Yiwu sent Yingrui to bribe the Duke of Qin Mu with heavy gifts, promising: "if you can return home, you are willing to cede the Hexi area of the state of Jin to the state of Qin." He also sent a letter to Rick, saying, "if you can be king, I'd like to seal the city of Fenyang to you." So Duke mu of Qin sent troops to send Yiwu back to Jin. When Duke Huan of Qi heard about the civil strife in the state of Jin, he also led the princes to the state of Jin. The Qin army and Yiwu also came to the state of Jin. Duke Huan of Qi sent Xipeng to join the people of Qin to send Yiwu to the capital of Jin. He established Yiwu as the monarch of Jin, which was Duke Hui of Jin.

Abandon one's faith and kill one's minister

In 650 B.C. (A.D. of Jinhui), the Duke of Jinhui broke his promise and sent Pizheng to apologize to the Duke of Qin Mu, saying, "I promised you Hexi at the beginning, but now I have the honor to return home and succeed to the throne. The ministers said, "the land belongs to the former monarch. Why did you grant the land to the state of Qin when you fled?" It's no use fighting with them, so I apologize to you. " So the land was not ceded to Qin. Moreover, Duke Hui of Jin did not grant the city of Fenyang to Rick, but seized his power.

In April of 650 BC (the year of Jinhui AD), King Xiang of Zhou sent Duke Jifu of Zhou to visit Duke Huigong of Jin with the state of Qi and the state of Qin. Because Chong ER was still abroad, Duke Hui of Jin was afraid of Rick's coup, so he gave Rick his death. He said to Rick, "I can't succeed without you. Nevertheless, you also killed two monarchs and a doctor. Isn't it too difficult to be your monarch? " Rick replied, "if you don't abolish the old king, how can you be elected? If you want to kill me, can't you find an excuse? But if I say that, I'll just follow orders. " So Rick committed suicide. At that time, Pizheng did not come back because he went to the state of Qin to apologize, so he was free from this difficulty.

When Pizheng heard that Rick had been killed, he said to Duke mu of Qin, "Lvsheng, Yingcheng and Yingrui are not satisfied with the state of Qin. If you bribe them with heavy gifts and conspire with them, you can expel the Duke of Jin Hui and welcome Chong Er, and things will succeed. " Qin Mugong agreed, and sent people back to the state of Jin with Pizheng, sending gifts to buy Lvsheng, Yingcheng and Yingrui. Three people said: "ceremony heavy words sweet, this must be Pizheng sold us to Qin." So kill Pizheng, and kill Pizheng and Rick's Yudang Qiyu doctor. Pibao, Pizheng's son, fled to the state of Qin and proposed to attack the state of Jin.

Duke Hui of Jin violated his promise to give land to the state of Qin and the city of Rick, and killed doctor Qiyu. The people of the country were very disobedient to him. In 649 B.C. (the second year of Duke Hui of Jin), King Xiang of Zhou sent Zhao Gong Ji to visit Duke Hui of Jin. Duke Hui of Jin was so arrogant that he was ridiculed by him.

Defeated and captured

In 647 BC (the fourth year of Duke Huigong of Jin Dynasty), there was a famine in the state of Jin. Duke Huigong of Jin asked the state of Qin to buy grain. Qin Mu Gong asked bailixi, a doctor. Bailixi said: "natural disasters are prevalent in all countries. It is the moral duty of the country to help famine and keep good relations with neighboring countries. The state of Jin should be promised. " Pibao, Pizheng's son, asked Duke mu of Qin to take the opportunity to attack the state of Jin. " Duke mu of Qin said: "although Duke Hui of Jin is hateful, the people of Jin are innocent." So the Duke of Qin Mu sent a large number of ships to carry grain. From the capital of Qin state, Yongcheng (now fengxiangnan in Shaanxi Province), to Jiangcheng, the capital of Jin State, there was an endless stream of ships carrying grain, which was called "the battle of boating".

In 646 BC (the fifth year of Duke Huigong of Jin Dynasty), the state of Qin suffered from famine and asked Jin to buy grain. When Duke Hui of Jin discussed with the officials, doctor Qing Zheng said, "he ascended the throne by the power of the state of Qin, and then he broke his promise to cede the land. When the state of Jin was in famine, the state of Qin lent us grain. Now the state of Qin is in famine and asks to buy grain from the state of Jin to give it to them. What can we worry about? We have to discuss it! " Guo she, the uncle of Duke Hui of Jin, said: "in the past, the state of Jin was given to the state of Qin, but the state of Qin didn't know how to seize and lend us grain. Today, God gave the state of Qin to the state of Jin. How can the state of Jin disobey God's will? Take the opportunity to attack them. " After listening to Guo she's plan, Duke Hui of Jin did not give food to the state of Qin. Instead, he sent troops to attack the state of Qin. In a rage, Duke mu of Qin sent troops to attack the state of Jin.

In the spring of 645 BC (the sixth year of Duke Huigong of Jin Dynasty), the state of Qin passed through the famine, and Duke mu of Qin led his army to attack the state of Jin. Duke Hui of Jin said to Qing Zheng, "the Qin army has gone deep into our country. What should we do?" Qingzheng said: "the state of Qin once escorted the king back to the throne, but the king broke his promise to cede the land. When the state of Jin was in famine, the state of Qin offered food aid, but when the state of Qin was in famine, the state of Jin betrayed its kindness. Instead, it wanted to attack it while it was in famine. Shouldn't the Qin army invade the country?" Duke Hui of Jin divined that Qing Zheng would drive and protect himself, and he would get lucky divination. Jin Huigong said, "Qing Zheng is not submissive to me." So Buyang took charge of the chariot and let a servant named Tu serve as the right guard of the chariot to fight against the Qin army.

On September 13, 645 BC (the sixth year of Duke Huigong of Jin Dynasty), Duke Huigong of Jin Dynasty and Duke mu of Qin Dynasty fought in Hanyuan. The horse in the chariot of Jinhui office was stuck in the mud. The Qin army caught up with him. In embarrassment, Jinhui office called Qingzheng to drive. Qingzheng said, "if you don't listen to divination, you deserve to lose the battle." Then he turned around and left. Duke Hui of Jin ordered Liang youmi to drive, and Guo she served as the right guard of the car to meet Duke mu of Qin. The warriors under Qin Mugong fought hard to defeat the Jin army. The Jin army was defeated and fled. The Jin army did not catch Qin Mugong, but the Qin army captured Jin Huigong and brought him back to Qin. Duke mu of Qin is going to kill Duke Hui of Jin to sacrifice to God. Mu Ji, the elder sister of Duke Hui of Jin, was the wife of Duke mu of Qin. She wore mourning clothes and wept sadly. Qin Mugong said: "you should be happy to catch Jin Huigong, but now you are. Besides, I heard that when Jizi saw that Tang Shuyu had just been enfeoffed, he said, "his descendants will surely prosper." how can the state of Jin perish? " So he made an alliance with Duke Hui of Jin Dynasty and promised to let him go back home. Jin Huigong also sent LV Province
