Zheng's suicide note is not a greeting to Jin Hou, but a complaint to Zhao. This is because Zhao holds real power, and he and Jin Hou also have an unusual relationship between life and death for more than ten years.
This Jin Hou is Gao Yi, the son of Duke Xiang of Jin, that is, Jin Linggong. Jin Wengong was exiled for nineteen years, and when he was 62, he was sent across the river and returned to Jin. After only nine years in office, he died and passed it on to Qi Huangong, namely Duke Xiang of Jin. Ji Huan was Jin Wengong's son in Pucheng before he fled. When Jin Xiangong attacked Pucheng, Duke Wen escaped, while Gao Yi survived and hid among the people. After Jin Wengong acceded to the throne, Wen Ying regarded him as his own son. It is estimated that he was in his forties when he acceded to the throne. Some scholars believe that Ji Huan was born of Wen Win, which is far-fetched, because Zhong Er only married Wen Win from Chu to Qin, and he was restored when he crossed the river. If Ji Huan is Wen Ying's son, and he is less than ten years old when he succeeded to the throne, it's not like Duke Xiang of Jin who just succeeded to the throne during the Battle of Kan! Besides, Duke Xiang of Jin has only been in office for seven years, but he has achieved many great things, which is by no means something that a teenager of thirteen or fourteen can do. But it was precisely because he took refuge among the people that Wen Gong didn't come to China until he returned to China, so he got married and had children later. Prince Gao Yi was still in his infancy when he died. The ministers of the state of Jin argued endlessly for his successor. They feel that it is not easy to stabilize the political situation by making Gao Yi the monarch, so it is better to have a eldest son. At that time, the governors of Jin Wengong, such as Zhao Shuai and thieves, were all dead. The ruling minister was Zhao Shuai and Zhao Dun, the son of hollyhock. He wanted to go to Qin State to see Xianggong's younger brother, Gongzi Yong, while Jia Ji advocated going to Chen State to see Gongzi Le. Therefore, Zhao Dun relieved Jia Ji from her official position, and Jia Ji fled to Zhaiguo. Zhao Dun sent a general to fire him first, and then went to Qin with him.
At this time, Qin Mugong died and Qin Kanggong succeeded to the throne. He thinks it is necessary to send childe brave and heavy troops. Because the last time Qin Mugong sent Jin Wengong to restore the country, he didn't solve the domestic situation in the state of Jin, so he retreated in a hurry. Therefore, Lu Zhishen's nephews Lu Zhishen and Lu Zhishen immediately plotted rebellion. If it weren't for Bob's snitch, we wouldn't know who would die. So this time, the army came prepared, despised first, held a meeting later, and walked slowly. However, in the state of Jin, a change happened at this moment: Gao Yi's mother heard about this incident, took the prince to court and put Gao Yi in Zhao Dun's arms: "Your late husband gave you his son when he was seriously ill. At that time, he told me that if you could teach him to become a talent, it would be a gift for the state of Jin. If he can't become a talent, he can only blame you for dereliction of duty. Why abandon it and start a new stove? " Your ministers are speechless, but they can only support Gao Yi's succession to the throne. This is Jin Linggong. Zhao Dun's self-contained army fought Qin Jun in Hu Ling. Qin Kanggong's well-intentioned, gang eventually have enemies, had to exile in the state of Qin. Zhao Dun helped to protect a child, and he was responsible for the internal affairs and diplomacy of Jin State. Fortunately, with the help of Kundi Zhao, he finally stumbled through more than ten years. However, Zhao Dun didn't get the essence of Duke Zhou's spirit, and Zhou Gongdan helped Zhou Chengwang, and no one forgot to educate his nephew. Zhao Dun is a courtier, so he can't be too presumptuous to avoid gossip. Over time, he cultivated a luxurious and dissolute king. "Historical Records" said: "In the fourteenth year (the first year of the new king's succession), he was strong, carved a wall, and people bounced off the stage to see him avoid pills." How cruel! Shooting marbles with crossbows hurts people and watching innocent people escape for fun; As for killing people, it is more common. Kill a kitchen worker and let his wife carry the body and discard it. Zhao Dun protested many times, which made Jin Linggong fidgety and sent assassins to assassinate him several times. Zhao Dun had to flee. Before he went abroad, Zhao Chuan led troops to attack and kill the Duke of Jinling to welcome Zhao Dun back to Korea. The people of Jin were very enthusiastic about this. However, the historian Dong Hu still recorded: "Zhao Dun killed his king", and Zhao Dun thought he was innocent. Dong Hu pointed out that Zhao Wei was in power and had not yet left the country. If he did not punish Zhao Chuan after returning home, he should take full responsibility. Later generations commented that Dong Hu kept a record of seeking truth from facts and did not cover up the fault for the venerable person; Zhao Dun also served his country. He was indeed a loyal minister. It is a pity to take responsibility. Afterwards, Zhao Dun welcomed his son Black Hip (the son of Jin Wengong) and named him Duke Xiang of Jin.
At that time, the monarch of Zheng was the son of Zheng Mugong Lan Ye. Zheng Wen has three ladies, but their sons all died of sin. In a rage, Wen Gong expelled all the concubines. After Lan Gongzi fled to the State of Jin, he served carefully and won the hearts of the people. When sending troops to encircle Zheng (see the first volume of "The Power of Candle to Retreat the Qin Division"), you can only withdraw your troops by yourself, provided that you are made a prince. The princes of Zheng thought that he was the most wise among the philosophers and was beneficial to the country, so he was named Prince. Two years later, Jin Wengong and Zheng Wengong died one after another, and Zilan succeeded Zheng Mugong. Zijia was Zheng's ruling minister at that time and the son of Ji's surname, hence his name.
The historical facts involved in this article happened in the seventeenth year of Duke Wen of Lu, that is, Jin Linggong ascended the throne for ten years. It should be said that when he was a teenager, Zhao Dun still had to make a decision on state affairs. It is appropriate for Zijia to write to Zhao Dun, but as a formal diplomatic note, it is still addressed to Duke Ling of Jin.
Jin Linggong met with the governors in Zhan to discuss the matter of pacifying the civil strife in Song State. During this time (Yu: now, yes: this time), he didn't see it, thinking that Zheng had taken refuge in Chu and had been unfaithful to Jin.
-It is worth noting that Zhan, in Zheng area, was a close minister, but he didn't call, which obviously revealed great dissatisfaction. According to the knighthood given by the Zhou Dynasty to heroes, important members of the royal family and descendants of kings in previous dynasties at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jin was the marquis and Zheng was the earl, so they were called Jin Hou and Zheng Bo respectively. There are also Cai Hou and Chen Hou in the article. ——
Zi Ji, the prime minister of the State of Zheng, sent people to the State of Jin (the Jin army was with him) to negotiate with Zhao.
-Zi Jia's letter is a diplomatic document to the State of Jin. Originally, it was addressed to Jin Hou, but Zhao Dun was in charge of government affairs, so Zijia stopped beating around the bush. The president is still a child, and I am just a spokesman. Then I will negotiate with you directly as the Prime Minister, but the main target of the document statement is Jin Hou. ——
The letter said: "Our country's monarch succeeded to the throne for only three years, and once recruited Duke Zhuang Cai (also surnamed Hou, hence the name Hou Cai) to serve your country (then Duke Xiang of Jin). After Hou Cai (covering the city: a modest name for his own region) arrived in September, he was ready to leave. However, due to Hou Xuanduo's incident, his son fled to the state of Jin, and when he attacked Zheng, it was established as a condition of the Covenant. Two years later, after his death, Hou also urged him to succeed. Therefore, the candidate took all this on himself, so his son called it' the difficulty of many candidates'-so the monarch could not go with Cai Hou. 1 1 Month After Hou Xuanduo's rebellion was basically put down, he followed Cai Hou to the court to see Xiang Gong (only two months later). In June of the twelfth year, I, Ji Guisheng, accompanied Prince Yi to the Jin Dynasty and told him (Chen Hou: Chen Gonggong) to appear before Jin, when he was already in office. /kloc-in July of 0/4, our monarch appeared before the king again, which helped (read Zen and complete it) (Chen Lai and Jin, belonging to the State of Chu, reconciled). /kloc-in may of 0/5, marquis Chen set out from China and went to your country to meet the king. In the first month of last year, Candlelight Wu accompanied Prince Yi to appear in court again (previous years: last year; Go to North Korea: It should be' Iraq goes to North Korea', because the word' left' is omitted after the candle, so it is an inverted sentence. In August, our monarch went to the court in person. It is said (according to interpretation) that countries like Chen and Cai, which are close to Chu (especially Nian 'er, which is famous far and near), dare not be unfaithful to Jin. This is the role of China! Although we serve the king so wholeheartedly, why are we still guilty? After our monarch succeeded to the throne, he once appeared before Xiang Gong and twice before Wang (here' one' and' again' mean once and twice, not' first' and' later'), Prince Yi and several ministers of our country came to your capital to worship one after another.
-The "orphan" in the article should be Zheng Mugong's self-assertion, and the speaker of diplomatic documents should actually be the monarch, but this article is based on the tone of a son's family, such as claiming to be born, calling Zheng Mugong a "widowed monarch" and calling the prince a "widowed monarch's mansion". But here, we use the tone of "Yi Gu Er San Minister" to call the prince-by his first name-and the minister, and only Zheng Mugong has this qualification. This may be Zuo Qiuming's mistake in writing a book. ——
Although we are a small country, we can't surpass what we do wholeheartedly. Now the big country (referring to gold) still says,' You didn't meet my wish'. Then we will perish, because it is really immeasurable. The ancients said,' as timid as a mouse, how much will be left if you lose both ends?' It has also been said:' at the critical moment of life and death, deer can't consider choosing shade (sound: ancient shade, that is, shade. The implication is that if the state of Jin pushes too hard, Zheng will have to take refuge in Chu. A small country serves a big country and can be treated well, that is, people; If they are not respected, they are deer in crisis. Despair-Despair: Run fast and run on dangerous roads-what choice is there in an emergency! Your order has exceeded the limit (invalid) We know that our country is going to die, so we can only prepare (will) to fully mobilize our army (Fu: the army, because it was dispatched according to the land tax at that time) to meet you in _ _ (Zhou, on the border between Zheng and Jin). Now we must wait for your decision. In the second year of Emperor Wendi, China also appeared before Qi. In four years, he attacked Cai for Qi and ended up making peace with Chu (Cai is an ally of Chu). Is it a sin to live among great powers and obey their mandatory orders? As a big country, if we don't even understand this, we don't care about disobedience. "
So the State of Jin sent Gong Shuo to make peace with Zheng, and left Chie, the son-in-law of Jin Jun (probably the son-in-law of Duke Xiang of Jin, because Duke Ling of Jin was only a teenager at that time), as a hostage in Zheng.
This letter finally made the state of Jin judge the situation and changed its diplomatic strategy towards Zheng. Zheng lives in the cracks between Chu and Jin, which can be said to be respectful to both sides. As Zijia said, it is hard to see. At this time, the state of Jin was not satisfied, that is, it demanded to be exclusive to me, which actually cut off Zheng's life. Jin people don't talk about loyalty, Quwo's two wings struggle, brothers and sisters of the same family kill each other, cut down the enemy and eliminate danger. They thanked Qin, and their succession to the throne was also an example of reneging on their word. If Zheng completely cut off contact with Chu today and is satisfied, he must face the crusade of Chu. When the Chu army is under siege, it is too late to ask the state of Jin for help. It can only be a dead end. But Jin never wasted money and food. Unlike Qin, Mu Gong stayed in front of his grandson. Anyway, the submission to the state of Jin is dead, and there will be no more punishment. Although Zheng's strength was small, he was able to fight to the death, but Chu was considerate and came to the rescue with all his strength. It is not clear that he died. This is the cry of his son's family. The so-called mourning soldiers will win-people are afraid of death if they are not afraid of death.
Zi Jia's rhetoric is different from Zhan's. Although Qilu and he have similarities in status and relationship, they all have a well-thought-out plan: at that time, Qi was in constant domestic worries, and cutting Lu was just to show off their martial arts. Although there is famine in Lu, the people are United as enemies. The Qi army is unwilling to confront Lu on the battlefield, and even more unwilling to stick to it. So the retreat went well. Subfamily files are similar to candlelight. When the country is in the most danger, it logically leads to the weight of the third party, so that the other party can weigh the pros and cons and reconsider its relationship with us. The difference is that Zi Jia's statement is that he is facing the main initiator of the threat, Jin State, while Zhu Wu says that Qin Mugong is facing the minor part of attacking the allied forces; Because I was determined to destroy Zheng at that time, there was no possibility of change, and suicide would not help! But our military strength is the strongest, it has the energy to control the situation, and the weight of the third party is gold! So the negotiations came naturally. What Zijia faced (that is) was just completely impressed by Zheng's wishes, but he didn't destroy Zheng's power-if he could, there was no need to pretend; Zheng has a certain economic and military strength, which is unmatched by small countries, and is located in the strategic crossroads of the Central Plains, and is the most valuable helper in the hegemony. It can be said that whoever wins the state of Zheng will lay the strongest hegemonic foundation. For Zijia's rhetoric, what worries Zhao Dun most is not "the deer died without a trace", but that it is desperate-it has completely taken refuge in Chu, and even asked Chu to send troops to station. It is impossible for Zhao Dun not to weigh the weight. Zijia specifically talked about Chen Guo, so he told me in detail that he first followed Chen Hou to Chu for instructions, and then followed Chen Hou to appear before the State of Jin. The implication is: Look at Chu's ethos, we can't rely on you alone! Reconciliation is the best, and war is also possible. I can't completely deviate from Chu! The pros and cons are up to you.
