The story of Jin Wengong's exile
Zhong Er and his party passed through Wei, and Wei Wengong did not treat them with courtesy. They passed by Lu Wu and begged food from the villagers. The villagers gave them clods. Zhong Er was furious and wanted to whip the man. Hu Yan advised him: "This is the land given by God." Zhong Er kowtowed and thanked him, took the clod and put it in the car.
Without food, Zhong Er was almost starving. Meson pushes a piece of meat from his thigh to make a pot of broth. After Zhong Er finished eating, everyone continued to run away. This is the story of meson pushing stocks to be a gentleman.
In this way, a line of hungry finally arrived in Qi. At that time, Qi Huangong was trying to win over various governors and establish hegemony. Zhong Er is a very prestigious figure, so Qi Huangong sent ministers to meet them outside the customs, and someone gave them a banquet. He also married a distant niece named Qi Jiang, gave them more than 20 chariots and horses, and sent people to receive them. These refugees have food and shelter.
However, the good times did not last long. A few years later, after Qi Huangong's death, the sons of Qi fought for power and profit, and the world was in chaos. Hu Yan, Zhao Shuai and others thought it was meaningless to live, so they planned to go to Song State.
However, Zhong Er is content with this comfortable life and doesn't want to wander around any more.
So, under an old mulberry tree, Hu Yan and Zhao Shuai called several people to discuss ways to leave Qi, but they were heard by several maids picking mulberry leaves. When he got back, he told Qi Jiang, who was inseparable from him, but when he thought about it, he couldn't let the Duke of Jin do nothing, so he secretly made up his mind to send him back to China, and he thought of a way with Hu Yan and others.
One night, Qi Jiang gave a banquet and took the opportunity to get Zhong Er drunk. He asked Qiu Wei and Dianjie to carry Zhong Er to the car, and then walked to Song State (now Shangqiu, Henan).
After walking for dozens of miles, Zhong Er was awakened. Only when he found himself lying in the car did he know that he had been cheated. He jumped out of the car and hit everyone. Hu Yan and Zhao Shuai said either good or bad, and finally he woke up and went on his way.
After walking for a few days, I arrived in Cao Guo (in the northwest of Dingtao County, Shandong Province). When Cao Gong, the monarch of Cao State, saw a group of "refugees" like Zhong Er voting, he was a little annoyed. Doctor Cao said, "The son of Jin is famous all over the world, and his eyes are heavy (his ribs are connected together). Unusual, you should receive him well. "
Said Cao Jiang and others in the nunnery.
When taking a bath, Cao * * * led a group of people with his concubine and servant girl, talking and laughing, and crowded to the door to see the threat. Zhong Er, the son of a big country, loves face and hates Cao's behavior.
Ji Min also expressed dissatisfaction with tso's behavior, personally apologized to Zhong Er, and secretly sent food and jade wall to Zhong Er and others. Zhong Er took all this to heart and left Cao in a hurry.
When Song Xianggong heard that Zhong Er was coming, he received them as a state guest. However, Song was at war with Chu, and the country was too small to send them back to Jin. He sent 20 good horses, and Song Xianggong specially sent them one by one. Kim's son is very grateful.
Zhong Er and his party left Song State and went to Zheng State (now Zheng County, Henan Province). Jun Zheng simply ignored them. Zhong Er, a group of "refugees", had to submit to humiliation and made a detour to Chu.
King Chu became king. He was very hospitable. When he saw Zhong Er coming to defect, he treated them warmly as distinguished guests. Zhong Er gradually became a good friend of the King of Chu, often drinking at the same table and riding horses to hunt.
One day, King Chu and Zhong Er were drinking together. King Chu joked with Zhong Er: "If you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how will you repay me in the future?"
Zhong Er said gratefully, "Thanks to your majesty's blessing, if I can return to the State of Jin as a monarch, I will be friendly with Chu for generations to repay your kindness. If there is a war between the two countries, I will definitely keep the king away from Miyake (Miyake was 90 miles in ancient times). "
Hearing this, Cheng, the general of Chu, said to him, "You must be an ungrateful guy in the future if you talk arrogantly. It is better to kill him early. "
King Chu Cheng said, "Zhong Er is a man of noble character. God bless him. How dare I go against God's will! "
During Zhong Er's residence in Chu State, a great event happened in Jin State. It turned out that after Jin mortgaged the Prince to the State of Qin, he wanted the Prince to return to Jin to be a monarch, so he married his daughter, Wilbur.
In 638 BC, my son heard that his father was seriously ill, and he was afraid that others would rob him of his throne. Without saying hello to Qin Mugong, he secretly ran back to the State of Jin. The next year, Jin died, and the prince became the monarch, that is, the short-lived Duke Huai of Jin. As soon as Chu Huaiwang came to power, he cut off contact with the State of Qin. Qin Mugong called him an ungrateful villain and sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of his son Zhong Er.
One day, King Chu Cheng said to Zhong Er, "Our two countries are far from Qian Shan. It's hard for Chu to send you back to China. Now the State of Qin has sent a general named Gong to welcome you into the State of Qin. Qin Jin is adjacent and separated by water, which is your best place to go. "
Zhong Er was very grateful to King Chu for his arrangement, so he followed the palace to the State of Qin with a group of consultants.
Zhong Er went to Qin and met Qin Mugong. Mu Gong was very happy after seeing Zhong Er. He not only warmly entertained him, but also offered to remarry his daughter, Huai Bo, which puzzled Zhong Er. First of all, he is old. Secondly, if the son is his nephew, how can he marry a niece? Huaiyin also cried and refused, saying, "I am the wife of the son. Can I marry his uncle again?"
Mrs. Qin said, "What does it matter as long as the two countries reconcile?"
This marriage ended in this way. Zhong Er, the son of a fool, became the groom again.
At this time, Duke Huai of Jin was afraid of the restoration of Zhong Er, and ordered that anyone who followed Zhong Er should return to the State of Jin within three months, so that the whole family would have to ask for an explanation. Hu Mao and Hu Yan's father, Hu Tu, Zhong Er's uncle, refused to call his son back and was killed by Huai Jin.
In 636 BC, Qin Mugong decided to send troops to escort Zhong Er back to the State of Jin to become a monarch. Mu Gong, Prissy, Kui and Gong Sunzhi led more than 400 cars, which were sent by the Yellow River. Qin Mugong suited half to send his grandson across the river and half to stay on the other side to meet him. Mu Gong and his wife said to Zhong Er with tears: "The grandson has become a monarch, don't forget our daughter!"
When boarding the boat, Uncle Hu, who was in charge of luggage and sundries, moved all the worthless junk onto the boat. Zhong Er saw it and said, "I want to go back to be a monarch. Why should I keep these things? "
After that, he will ask his men to throw these rags ashore, and some of them will be thrown into the choppy Yellow River.
Both Hu Yan and Uncle Hu were very uncomfortable, so they took the white jade they sent when they left, knelt in front of their son and offered it respectfully. They said, "Son, you have to cross the river now. You are the monarch of the State of Jin. At that time, you were assisted by ministers and supported by Qin. Obviously, this is very safe. I want to stay in Qin and be your foreign minister. This white jade is my little gift! "
Hearing this, Zhong Er quickly asked, "I am wandering outside with the help of my uncle and your brother. You should go back. Why stay in Qin? "
Hu Yan said: "I know my three sins, so I dare not follow my son back to China." The ancients said,' A saint can make a monarch majestic, and a saint can make a monarch peaceful'. I didn't do this, and it was a sin for my son to be trapped among the five deer. Later, we went to Cao Guo and Guo Wei and were discriminated against by others. These are two sins. Dragging you out of Qi when you are drunk is three sins. You were in trouble before, and I didn't dare to retreat. Today, I am exhausted after returning to Jin, just like this leftovers can no longer be eaten, like these rags can no longer be used, it is better to keep me useless. "
After hearing this, Zhong Er swore with tears: "These things are all my fault. I will never forget the contributions of all of you. Let God be my witness! " At the same time, let people pick up everything thrown on the shore.
