Chapter 166: Ancient and Modern (Part 2)

The Duke of Lu understood the "defense" of the Qi army. If Wucheng was not burned, the commander Gong Zaoye, who was the leader of the most aided army, followed the army and besieged the main force of the Mo family led by Shi, who now captured Pingyin, would be defeated before the Qi army could stand firm in Wenshui.

Now the Qi army is outside the city. Tian Qing and Gongziwu asked for help from the Hou Lu. They first talked about the friendly relations between Qi and Lu, but as they were talking, some Confucian scholars from Lu cursed.

The envoy talked about some of the events of Zhou Gongdan and Jiang Taigong's expedition in the east, and told about some of the past events that Qi and Lu had worked together before. The Confucian ministers asked: "That's Ji Jiang's favor, what does it have to do with the Tian family?"

The relationship between Qi and Lu itself is quite bad. The biggest shame is the incident of Wen Jiang back then: Wen Jiang and his brother committed adultery and worked together to murder his husband, the king of Lu. There are three poems circulating in this matter, and the struggle between Qi and Lu has been constantly. Not only did Xiang Ziniu invade Lu, but during this invasion of Lu, the Duke of Lu also had to accompany the Duke of Qi to drive the King of Yue.

The Confucian scholars of Lu also opposed the revolution of the February State, but they also had some bottom line. They did not say that because they opposed the revolution of the Yifei State of Mohism, they thought that Qi was good.

If we talk about etiquette, the Tian family, both Qi and others, were equal and were prosecuted, so there was no difference.

The envoys of Qi were not polite. Tens of thousands of troops were outside, and Qufu had no danger to defend, and they were extremely hard. After all, Tian Qi was a country that later scolded the Zhou emperor as "your maid", and denounced the fact that the Marquis of Lu had broken the rules first when he became the "Liu Qiwu".

The Confucian scholars of Lu State denounced Tian He's private affairs that he couldn't help but visit his concubine, and the envoy of Qi State responded to the incident that Duke Hui of Lu had forcibly occupied his daughter-in-law...

Both sides were not glorious. As a noble family, there was no cuckold in history. Both sides cursed each other for a long time. At the end, the envoy of Qi State said: "The 100,000 soldiers wearing armor were stationed outside Qufu. Please come to the camp to argue!"

In one sentence, all these disputes were resolved, and the ministers of Lu kept silent and did not dare to speak out, so the Duke of Lu came forward to mediate.

The envoy of Qi State wanted to borrow food, borrow people from the people, and let the people transport the food to Wenshui.

As soon as the envoy of Qi left, the Marquis of Lu sighed in front of the ministers.

"Oh! The Yin of Wenshui is not where the Duke Yin wants to take the old man and bury his fur?"

"Isn't the yang of Wenshui a wise man named Zhan Ziqin sits in a place where he is not confused?"

With a word of emotion, all the ministers looked ashamed.

In the past, Duke Yin was regent and wanted to return to the prince Yun, so he asked someone to build a different town in the land of Tuqiu to wait for his retreat after returning to power in the future.

The sun of Wenshui, under Mount Tai, was the fief of Liu Xiahui, who was in a state of peace back then, near Pingyin City, which was now captured by the Shishun army. Liu Xiahui was a wise man from Lu. Later, Qin State attacked Qi and passed by Lu State, and also ordered the people of Lu to: Everyone who was fifty miles away from Liu Xiahui's tomb was beheaded to show respect.

Duke Yin of Lu did not say that he missed these two wise men from Lu.

When the ministers heard this, they felt that the Marquis of Lu was saying: The Wenshui coast was originally the land of Lu, but now they are all in the hands of Qi, but we still have to transport grain to here. Isn’t this a shame for the ministers?

It is said that it is ulterior motive, but the listener is intentional.

After retreating from the court, the doctor Li Rong, who once said in the past, "Far Water cannot save the nearby fire", walked straight into the harem.

When the Marquis of Lu saw Li Zhu coming, he was happy and said to himself: "There are also wise men in Lu, and some people in the court will understand what I mean."

But he didn't say it clearly, Li Rong sighed first: "Justice talks about Mr. Xian Yin, and I can't help but feel sad."

"In the past, Duke Yin asked for the joy of watching fish and went to the land of crabapple, but now the land of the Song Dynasty is the place of Song, and now it is the land of the Mo family."

"In the past, Duke Yin wanted to return to power and build a squat, but now he is a squat in Qi."

When the Duke of Lu talked about Duke Yin, Li Yu knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, so he used Duke Yin to ask about Duke Lu’s true meaning. Li Yu believed that the Duke of Lu was definitely not as simple as lamenting that the land was occupied by Qi.

Lu Yin’s official affairs have a profound meaning.

At that time, his father, Duke Hui, married Duke Yin, and married Duke Song's daughter. However, seeing that he had outstanding appearance, he took over his daughter-in-law.

Duke Yin is a filial son. When he saw his father liked him, he was very happy. He thought that his fiancée could be enjoyed by his father and should be happy.

Later, Hui and his original fiancée Yin Gong gave birth to Prince Yun, the mother of Prince Yun, Yin Gong's fiancée, Yin Gong's stepmother Zhongzi, who was born a higher birth than Yin Gong's mother, so Prince Yun was appointed as the crown prince.

Because Duke Yin was old, Duke Hui was elected as the king by the doctors after his death. Duke Yin believed that his father's will be to let Prince Yun succeed to the throne. If he refused, the ministers might not support Prince Yun in the future, so he succeeded to the throne, imitating Duke Zhou's regent, and returning power to Prince Yun in the future.

During his reign, I heard that people in Tangdi in the Sishui River basin were catching fish and singing fishermen at night, so I went to watch the "bad things".

Later, in order to be the priest, the young master told Yin Gong: Now that the prince Yun is growing up day by day, if you don’t really want to be Zhou Gong, you might as well start to defeat the prince Yun first.

Yin Gong was shocked and said, "I have already built a different town in Tuqiu. I am planning to return the government to the prince in the future and then live in seclusion. Your idea is very dangerous.

The young master was shocked and afraid that this matter would be exposed, so he went to the prince Yun again and said: Although Duke Yin is now learning from Duke Zhou to regent, you have grown up day by day. What if Duke Yin does not return to power in the future? It would be better to start first.

The young master Yun said: Good.

So while Yin Gong was offering sacrifices, he sent someone to assassinate him, and Prince Yun got the throne. Prince Yun was the one who later married Wen Jiang and was strangled to death by his brother-in-law in the car.

Duke Yin was a believer. He was captured when he fought with Zheng State and was imprisoned at Yin's home. Duke Yin prayed that the shaman, the shaman who was worshipped by Yin, hoped to return to his country. If he could return to his country, he should worship him as the guardian god and sacrifice him all year round.

Later, he returned to Lu State with Yin and the wizard who could understand the gods, and established a tablet of the wizard as his guardian god. He often sacrificed his sacrifices for several years without interruption. The young master waved and asked someone to assassinate Yin Gong while the Yin Gong was sacrificed, and then destroyed the entire family of assassinators in the name of regicide.

Today, the Duke of Lu talked about the matter of Duke Yin, borrowed the allusion of Tu Qiu, and seemed to be with Liu Xiahui's fief, saying that the Wenshui River Basin is now owned by Qi, and Lu was oppressed by Qi.

But in Lilu, it was only a foil for the fact that Zhan Ziqin’s fief is in the yang of Wenshui. In fact, the focus of Lu Hou was not on the Wenshui, but on the matter of Tu Qiu’s seclusion and regent.

At the beginning, the Mohist school said that Fei's affairs were Fei's internal affairs, and Lu did not allow him to borrow a way; Qi sent people to say that doctor Fei had all returned to Qi, and that Fei's land affairs were not invasion, nor did they violate the treaty of non-aggression alliances...

Under the oppression of both sides, the Duke of Lu first agreed to Qi's request to borrow a way, and in turn asked the young master to come into contact with the Mo family and signal the Mo family that it was very reasonable.

When Li Rong saw that the Hou of Lu talked about Yin Gong, he used Yin Gong to talk about Guanyutai, which is now in the Song Dynasty, and it is basically the territory of the Mo family.

What you are talking about Yin Gong is actually talking about the current Duke of Lu. This is exactly the meaning of using the past to satirize the present: Now Lu is sandwiched between the Mo family and Qi family, and no one can afford to provoke him. When you mentioned the incident of Tu Qiu, is it because you want to use this regent to let the prince succeed to the throne to give the Mo family an explanation?

This involves a secret and inconvenient difference.

Is the Prince Yun of that year the blood of Duke Hui or Duke Yin? This is a privacy matter that is difficult to explain clearly.

But no matter what, Yin Gong was not the father of Prince Yun's legal theory, so later Prince Yun sent someone to assassinate Yin Gong.

However, now, both in terms of legality and blood, the young master Fen is the biological son of the Hou Lu.

Moreover, the two young masters were fighting each other, and Yin Gong also carefully examined after Mo Zi's words and recognized Prince Yunli as the crown prince. Moreover, after the rise of the Mo family, Prince Yun was at least close to the Mo family in appearance.

When the Hou of Lu heard Li Ji's words, he was secretly happy, but he remained silent and sighed: "If you don't say anything, I almost forgot the joy of Yin Gong watching the fish."

Li Rong sighed and said, "I didn't think of the joy of watching fish. But the king mentioned Liu Xiahui's fiefdom. I naturally thought that when Liu Xiahui's father captured Jiguo, he set up Tangyi. Duke Yin went to Tangdi to watch fish. Wu Hai was also able to use the posthumous title of the Zhan family because of his achievements in destroying the country."

These are all old things about his family. The Marquis of Lu naturally knew it, so he said through words: "Yes. The prince suggested that the emperor appointed the princes as their clan, and the doctor as their clan. Then he gave it to the Zhan clan."

Today, when talking about Tuqiu, Yutai, Yin Gong, Regent and other matters, we cannot avoid the powerful minister, Prince Hui, who was killed by Yin Gong, who made trouble in the past.

When talking about the fiefdom of Liu Xiahui, who is now in the Wenshui Yang, which is now in Qi, it is impossible to avoid Gongzi Hui, because Liu Xiahui's surname originated from what Gongzi Hui said back then, otherwise he would not be established as a clan.

Liuxia is the fief, Hui is the posthumous title, and the real surname is Zhan. In this regard, the aristocrats in the world and later generations outside the world are similar. So-and-so in a certain place should be considered a common example of the aristocratic system under the feudal system.

The Duke of Lu didn't care about Liu Xiahui at all. He wanted to mention this: When the young master was wielding right and wrong, Yin Gong was going to live in seclusion, but he was stabbed to death. Even if I had the intention to live in Tuqiu, and became a regent and returned to the prince Fen, I was afraid that there would be a young master like this in the court.

Li Rong understood the concerns of the Duke of Lu, but said: "In the past, the young master was in power. In the fourth year of Duke Yin, the Song people attacked Zheng and wanted to join the State of Lu. Duke Yin refused, but the young master led his troops to join the State of Song to attack Zheng."

"During the time of Huigong, Lu fought with Song. Duke Yin succeeded to the throne. Song wanted to attack Zheng, but Duke Yin refused. The prince waved his troops to join the alliance, so Song and Lu made friends again."

"In the sixth year of Duke Yin, Zheng State was ordered by the emperor to attack Song. Song sought help from Lu. Because Duke Yin did not agree to form an alliance with Song, but it was because Prince Hui had formed a private alliance, he did not rescue Song State. Zheng State also forgave the crime of attacking Zheng with Song State."

"In the ninth year of Duke Yin, Duke Song did not go to pay homage to the Emperor Zhou. Duke Yin immediately expressed his serious crimes in Duke Song and attacked Song in Qi and Zheng."

"In the tenth year of Duke Yin, Prince Hui, who had been in charge of Duke Yin's order, led the army to lead the army and defeated the Song army in Suga. Qi. Zheng Jizhe praised Prince Hui's courage and did not blame the crime of joining Song that year. Therefore, after Duke Huan ascended the throne, Prince Hui was able to go to Qi to win Wen Jiang for Duke Huan..."
