Duke Zhuang of Lu, born in 706 BC, was one of the princes of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the sixteenth monarch of Lu. As the son of Lu Huangong, he succeeded Lu Huangong as the monarch of the country, and he reigned for 32 years, which can be said to be a monarch with little political achievements. Speaking of Duke Zhuang of Lu, we know that the protagonist of the debate and the meat eater despised him, and an impressive king appeared in our textbooks. Everyone praises the courage and resourcefulness of Debate and Harmony, but often ignores another king-Duke Zhuang of Lu.
Sima Qian's historical records: "Zhuang Gong Hao Li." A few simple sentences describe a general image. Duke Zhuang of Lu seems to be an ordinary man. As a monarch, he has nothing to say, but his achievements are not outstanding, but he can sit on the throne for 32 years. We need to find out why Duke Zhuang of Lu was able to sit on the throne for so long.
Duke Zhuang of Lu can be king on the throne for so long, which shows that he has his own advantages, no matter how powerful he is. As far as other things are concerned, he spared Guan Zhong for eight years in Duke Zhuang of Lu. At this time, your son Jiu and Guan Zhong fled to Lu. The next year, the troops defeated Lu, and Lu killed his son and corrected him. Qi asked Lu for an important person and asked Lu to return Guan Zhong. It is considered that if the State of Qi wants to reuse Guan Zhong, it will be bad for the State of Lu. His ministers advised Lu Zhuanggong to kill Guan Zhong. Zhuang Gong refused to listen to other people's opinions and still returned Guan Zhong to Qi.
As one of the vassal states with the same surname in the Zhou Dynasty, Lu was actually a state of etiquette. As a country with such a developed ceremony and music, it is the only etiquette state that retains the most complete and highest standard of ancestral culture among the vassal States. Later, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were disrespectful and the ceremony collapsed. Until later, the vassal States of various countries competed for the Central Plains, and countries such as Qi, Chu and Qin rose strongly, while Lu gradually declined and could not keep up with these countries.
Duke Zhuang of Lu is the son of Wen Jiang and Lu Huangong. Historically, Qi Jiang was the daughter of a member of the royal family of Qi State. Her real name and date of birth are unknown. She is Qi Huangong's eldest daughter and Jin Wengong's wife. At the same time, she has an identity. She is Qi Xianggong's own sister. Lu Huangong is the second man in Qi Johnson's life. Lu Huangong loves this woman very much. Although Qi Jiang has been thinking about her brother, she is good at training Qi Jiang. Soon after Qijiang married Lu Huangong, she became pregnant and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son was made a prince when he was born.
Lu Huangong never thought that he loved this woman so much. Finally, Qi Jiang asked her brother Qi Xianggong to send a killer to assassinate him. Duke Zhuang of Lu knew that his father was killed by his mother and Qi Xianggong, but he didn't learn a lesson at all. On the contrary, he went back to his father's old path. Twenty-four years after he ascended the throne, he married Ai Jiang, the daughter of Qi. They had no children. Her sister and uncle Jiang Ye were the concubines of Duke Zhuang of Lu, but Ai Jiang later committed adultery with his father, who was the younger brother of Duke Zhuang of Lu. This chaotic relationship complicates Lu's politics.
Duke Zhuang of Lu died at the age of 32. Qingfu wanted to be king on his own, so he conspired with Ai Jiang to kill Uncle Jiang's son. As a result, China people made trouble, and Ai Jiang didn't come to a good end in the end.
