In the spring and Autumn period, after becoming the monarch, Duke mourning of Jin wanted to revive the prestige of the state of Jin, like his ancestor Duke Wen of Jin. At this time, the state of Zheng was a small country. At one time, it formed an alliance with Jin, and at another time, it became subordinate to Chu. In 562 ad, he gathered troops from 11 countries, including song, Lu, Wei and Liu, to attack Zheng. Lin Jian Gong was defeated and surrendered. He sent a large number of gifts to the state of Jin, including 100 military chariots, several musicians, a number of valuable musical instruments and 16 women who were good at singing and dancing. The Duke of mourning in Jin Dynasty was very happy and gave half of these gifts to Wei Jiang, saying, "Wei Jiang, it was you who advised me to make peace with Rong and Di, and stabilized the Central Plains countries. In the past eight years, we have convened nine alliances among the vassals of various countries. Now our relations with other countries are as harmonious as a beautiful piece of music. Zheng sent so many gifts, let me share them with you! "Wei Jiang said," it's a blessing for our country to get along well with di and Rong. The king has become the leader of the Central Plains princes. It depends on your ability, and my contribution is negligible. However, I hope the king can think more about the future of some countries when he is enjoying his happiness. The book of history says, "when you are stable, you should think of the possible dangers in the future. When you think of them, you will be prepared. If you are prepared, there will be no disaster." I would like to use these words to remind the king
