Qi Jinggong's Historical Allusions

Although Qi Jinggong, who was still in infancy, was lucky enough to inherit his brother's throne, he was completely incapable of controlling the overall situation. Facing more and more officials, Gong Jing seems so helpless.

After Cui Yao killed the king, because he was in power, he was in power with Qing Feng, and Gong Jing was a puppet, trembling and obedient.

Only one year after Gong Jing ascended the throne, the Cui Shi family clashed. Qingfeng is not a gentleman. The so-called "side of the couch, how do others snore and sleep?" So he alienated Cui Yao's two sons, Cui Cheng and Cui Jiang. Cui Yao couldn't do it for his son, and sincerely invited Qing Feng to send troops to help. Celebrating the ambition of the wolf, in the name of counterinsurgency, he sent his cronies Lu Puqi to kill, exterminated Cui Yi's wife, children and clan relatives, burned his house and residence, and reported to Cui Yi that "I killed them". In an instant, Cui Jue was homeless and disheartened, and soon chose to commit suicide.

Qingfeng can take charge of state affairs alone, probably because he is at a lonely height. Qingfeng doesn't want to deal with state affairs soon, so he simply entrusts state affairs to his son, the Youth Society. Qing Feng is dissolute, and fish begins to stink at the head, his son, Green Snake, is also a slut, which makes the state affairs corrupt. At this point, a force of Lu clan is quietly brewing a counterattack.

Before 546, Qingfeng went out, and Gongsun Zao and Gongsun Mi cooperated with Chen Wuyu (Tian surname, the ancestor of Tianqi) to attack the green club. Qingfeng-xiangguang fracture rushed back when he heard the news. It's too late to roam the kingdom of Wu. Qingshi withdrew from the political stage of Qi State. GongSunZao and GongSunMi * * * together in power. Both of them are sages of a loyal country, and they work closely together to safeguard the Lu regime.

In 539 and 534, Gongsun Zao and Gongsun Mi died one after another. Gong Sunzao's son Luan Shi and Gong Sunxiang's son Gao Qiang are in power together. Tian Heng Zi and Chen Wuyu, spying on his family, never reached the summit, so they began to sow discord between Luan Shi and Gao Qiang. As a result, Chen Wuyu was disappointed. He is a friend of our family and has not been tempted.

532 years ago, Chen Wuyu was drunk by Luan Shi and Gao Qiang and joined forces with Qian Bao to launch an attack. Luan Shi and Gao Qiang, in desperation, wanted to take Qi Jinggong hostage. When the plot was exposed, Luan and Gao escaped and were divided up by Tian and Bao. At that time, Yan Ying suggested that Chen Wuyu hand over his property and Tian Yi to Gong Jing. Since it is the meaning of Dr. Yan, it is accepted naturally. Since then, the influence of the Lushi family has been slightly enhanced, and Qi Jinggong's leadership has also been materially guaranteed.

After 16 years of war, the civil strife in Qi finally came to an end temporarily. At this time, Qi's national strength was weak, it was basically mature, and its political experience was increasingly rich. With the help of loyal ministers such as weak countries and Yan Ying, Qi Jinggong finally got out of the shadow of the minister's autocracy and took charge of the state affairs. At this time, the rulers all over the world still maintained the traditional pattern-Chu Jin contending for supremacy. Jin and Chu are old and powerful countries with strong national strength and high prestige. In the first 558 years, Duke Mourn of Jin died of illness, and the revival hegemony of Jin gradually faded. Later, although his Zhengqing line defeated Chu and Qi successively, it could not recover the losses caused by Duke Jin. In the first 550 years, the Luan people in the state of Jin were in civil strife, and the State of Qi profited from it and really made a fortune.

In view of the power of the domestic public is too strong, Wu's influence is too great; At the same time, Jin Pinggong is young, but his talent is mediocre, and he is too big to fail. He stepped down and the authority of the monarch was marginalized again. Since both Chu Jin and China have their own chronic diseases, the two sides seek the opportunity to make peace again. In 548, Jin Zhengqing Fan died, and Zhao Wenhe was in office. In the same year, Chu made Yin? Zi Feng died, and Qu Dang (Zi Zimu) became Ling Yin. Wu Zhao of Jin and Zi Mu of Chu fought for hegemony for hundreds of years, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries were normalized.

The Jin people did not fight because of the infighting of the six Qing Dynasties, and the Chu people did not fight because they wanted to exchange fire with Wu. But Qi doesn't seem to have fatal loopholes, so with the help of winning, it became a rich country. Qi Jinggong has always dreamed of restoring the hegemony of Qi Huangong, and he is very interested in the hegemonic story of his ancestors. It is precisely because of this political ambition that Gong Jing was studious and concerned about his subjects in his early years. With Yan Ying as prime minister, Qi gradually recovered.

In the contacts with vassal States, we should also pay attention to being neither humble nor supercilious, especially to Jin, the rival for hegemony, and rationally and cautiously safeguard Qi's status as a great power. In 530 BC, Qi Jinggong personally went to the State of Jin to congratulate Jin Zhaogong, who had just acceded to the throne. During the dinner, Jin and Qi monarchs played pot-throwing games. Please vote first. Wu Weizhu, an official of the Jin state bank, said, "Wine is like Huaihe River, and meat is like water highland. We have won the bid, and the state of Jin can be commander in chief. " The courtiers of the state of Jin cheered as soon as the gold shot. This pot toss was originally a game, but Jin used it as a bargaining chip to try to suppress Qi. This is a joke. He picked up the arrow and thought, "I have as much wine as drowning, and as much meat as mountains." I shot this arrow, and I became stronger than 8 jin j "Say that finish, an arrow hit, also hit. Qi Jinggong's symbolic contest at this banquet is not only his unwillingness to the State of Jin, but also the embodiment of his political ambition.

As the saying goes, "weak countries have no diplomacy." The reason why Qi Jinggong dared to provoke Kim so openly was because Qi became stronger and stronger. The clever Jin Zhaogong realized that Qi was gradually competing with Jin for hegemony. The strength of Qi is one thing, but the infighting among the ministers of Jin is the most critical. In 529, King Chu Ling was killed and King Chu Ping acceded to the throne. The State of Chu is still repairing the wounds left by the Wang Ling era, so it is impossible to look north. Zhao Jin realized that this was the best time for Jin to re-establish its hegemonic authority. This year, Duke Zhao of Jin led five big noble (Han, Han Qi, Zhao, Zhao Cheng, Wei Xianzi, Shu Wei, Fan Xianzi, Wen Zhizi, Yu Xun) in the middle of Six Righteousness, led four thousand troops to the country by chariot, and called the vassals to rejoin the Union. Zhao Gong sent his uncle to see King Zhou Jing to gain the support of the emperor, so that he could command the princes with the emperor's orders. After Zhou Wang agreed, Zhao Gong sent his uncle to see Qi Jinggong. Uncle Xiang Yili explained the provisions and significance of this alliance, and made it clear that Qi must participate in this alliance. Jing realized that Qi could not directly confront Jin, so he said, "I just want to remind your country, just saying. It is up to you, a big country, to decide whether it is necessary to join the EU. Now that I have decided, how dare I disobey the orders of Qi? I will definitely attend respectfully. " Uncle Xiang realized the seriousness of the problem and suggested that Jin and the princes watch the car together and review the troops three times in a row, which shocked the princes. However, judging from the results of the alliance, he saw that a certain number of governors had already had second thoughts about the state of Jin, and it was futile to say something superficial. What everyone is afraid of is the state of Jin.

Through this alliance, Qi Jinggong deeply felt that Jin was not decadent and fragile, at least there was a big gap with Qi militarily. If we push the Jin people too hard at the wrong time, it will promote the unification of the six countries in the Qing Dynasty. At the meeting, the governors were deeply impressed by the state of Jin, so it is more realistic to keep a low profile for the time being. After three years of active preparation and careful planning, Xu was finally chosen as the attack target in 526 BC to show off his strength. As a result of this attack, Qi Jinggong was overjoyed and wanted to win the horse. Qi Jun had just arrived at Pu Tunnel (now Sixian County, Anhui Province) and had not yet entered Xu's territory, so Xu sent messengers to make peace. The two countries, Gao and Ju, near Xu, were afraid of Xu's surrender, so Qi soldiers turned to attack themselves and quickly sent messengers to express their obedience. The heads of state of Qi, Xu, Tan and Ju formed an alliance in Pudong. This time, the state of Jin had no reaction to Pu's alliance with Tunnels. Qi Jinggong sized up the situation, seized the opportunity, challenged the endurance of Jin State and the authority of the overlord, which showed the initial victory of Qi Jinggong and Jin State for hegemony. This year, Jin Zhaogong died young and his youngest son was promoted to public office, which further weakened the centripetal force of Jin Liuqing. The same is true of the development of facts. Since then, Qi Jinggong has become more and more handy, more and more boldly intervened in other countries' affairs, truly exercised the power that only leaders can exercise, and truly did what only leaders can do.

In 523 BC, Duke Jing of Jin sent troops to crusade against the state of Ju, forcing Duke Ju to flee twice, but the people of Jin still did not respond. In 522 BC, civil strife broke out in Weiguo, and Wei Linggong fled to the outskirts of the capital. Before that, he sent a palace to visit Weiguo. Before he arrived in Weiguo, he heard the news that Wei Linggong was exiled to the capital. GongSunQing make up our minds, quickly sent someone to ask for instructions Qi Jinggong. Qi Jinggong replied: "As long as Wei Linggong is still in China, he is the monarch who defends the country, so we should treat him according to the etiquette of the monarch." GongSunQing accepted the order, according to the original etiquette to visit Wei Linggong. Wei Linggong was very moved.

When Qi Jinggong was in the most difficult time in Wei Linggong, he was still polite. Although this is a diplomatic means, it has a good influence on the rulers. The vassals thought that Qi Jinggong was not only a great monarch, but also an ally who respected his lover. This greatly enhanced his strength against Chu Jin. Then in the second year after this incident, Wu in the south invaded Song in the Central Plains. When he got the news, he thought it was another good opportunity to expand his influence and power, so he quickly sent troops to help Song. The allied forces of Qi and Song quickly defeated Wu Jun and won. As a result, Song was very grateful to Qi Jinggong. Qi Jinggong has once again expanded its hegemony.

565438 BC+September 07 BC, Lu couldn't stand the tyranny of Sanhuan and attacked a family with Zang and Zhai. Stone and Uncle of the Third Ring Road sent troops to help the family at a degree of * * *, and the soldiers of the Third Ring Road United, defeated Lu Hou's Qinbing, attacked Zhai, and Lu fled to Qi, where he rushed to the scene. Jing generally believes that because Lu has not established a new monarch, Lu Zhaogong is still the monarch of Lu. When Qi associates with him, it associates with Lu. If you send troops to invade Lu, it will be on behalf of the Lu army, which will enable Qi to win. Using the resettlement of land, we have gained great benefits. Therefore, it won the praise and trust of the governors and gained the weight of Qi's hegemony.

Although he wanted to deal with the internal affairs of Lu according to the specifications of the overlord, he was afraid of the authority of Jin (especially Fan) and could only resettle the Hou of Lu, but could not help Lu recover. This is also the gap between the quasi-overlord and the overlord. Qi Jinggong secretly made up his mind to narrow the gap with the State of Jin. In the spring of 506, Fan Xianzi, an official of the Qing Dynasty in the State of Jin, mobilized governors to uphold justice for Cai Zhaohou and called on all the governors to gather in Zhaoling. Shiyang and the princes of Qi, Lu, Song, Cai, Wei, Chen, Zheng, Xu, Cao, Tai, Yun, Dun, Hu, Teng, Xue, Qi, Xiao and *** 18 gathered in Zhaoling, and * * * decided to attack Chu. This is the largest vassal alliance initiated by one country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is also the last embodiment of the former glory of Jin State. In this alliance, Shiyang made the greedy and ugly behavior of Chu state public, and declared the alliance document signed with China 548 years ago invalid, and became the only legal overlord in the Central Plains.

The idea of Shiyang's move is to use the vassal alliance to improve Fan's international reputation and save Jin's declining hegemony. As a result, Wen Zi Yin Xun, Shiyang's closest ally, protested to Shiyang after asking Cai Zhaohou for a bribe was rejected, saying that it was not cost-effective for us to join the vassal crusade against Chu for Cai Zhaohou, and it was not cheap. Shi Yang also knows Yin Xun's intentions, but think about it. Bank of China is Fan's best friend. Now the contradiction between the ministers of the six countries of Jin has escalated, and the reform of their respective fiefs has gradually improved. A new round of competition among aristocratic families is about to begin. In such troubled times, why should we seek benefits for other countries to offend our best allies?

Under the leadership of Shiyang, he helped Cai destroy the pocket-sized Shen state as a gift to the princes. So the meeting of Zhaoling went away. The poor performance of the Jin people disappointed the governors of the Central Plains and their prestige dropped to freezing point. The whole world knows that Jin people are unreliable, but only Jin people themselves don't think so. This naturally created opportunities for Qi to dominate the whole country.

After Zhaoling Conference, Zi Shu, the ruling doctor of Zheng State, died angrily on his way back to China. Zheng's pro-gold power was greatly weakened and he broke with Zheng completely. In the autumn of 503, and Zheng formally formed an alliance.

Soon, due to dissatisfaction with Shiyang in Gaomink League, they gradually moved closer to Qi. Qi Jinggong was full of confidence because of his patriotism and threw himself at him. In the autumn of this year, he ordered the army of Qi State to crusade against Lu, the best friend of Jin State. Not to be outdone, Lu went to war with Qi the next year. Qi Jinggong thought it was outrageous that even a state of Lu could not be solved, so in the autumn of 502, two ministers went out with him and the soldiers were besieged. Lu couldn't hold on any longer and hurried to the state of Jin for help.

Shi Yang, the marshal of the State of Jin, Zhao Yang, the general of the State of Jin, and * * * all helped Lu, because Lu is the bottom line of Jin's diplomacy. Once Lu defected from the state of Jin, which was really humiliating. This vicious act of Qi aroused strong opposition from the monarch and ministers of the State of Jin, so Fan, Zhao and Bank of China joined forces and Qi Xin joined forces. Qi Jinggong soon realized that he was taking risks, and thought that his opponent in the decisive battle with the State of Jin was not himself. If too much external pressure is exerted on the people of the State of Jin, it will promote the unification of the Qing Dynasty and the Six Dynasties, which Gong Jing does not want to see. Gong Jing withdrew its troops very cautiously.

Seeing that Qi did not give himself the burden of resistance, Wei Linggong was bent on getting close to Qi. In desperation, he formed an alliance with Zhao Yang. As a result, officials of the Zhao family were involved in the incident, and they were not polite in the alliance. This time, Weiguo was completely caught up with Liangshan. 502 years ago, Shi Yang, Marshal of Zhong Jun, finally passed away. The original Sasaki was promoted to Zhengqing, and the other four Qing were promoted in turn. Fan's son, Century Shao, was followed by an army assistant. Due to the change of prime minister, the high-level personnel of Jin state have been adjusted again. At this juncture, Qi Jinggong thought it was the best time to provoke the hegemony of Jin State.

Finally, for decades, Gong Jing, who had been eager to try, but didn't have the courage to go all out, decided to throw caution to the wind and never pretend to be a grandson again. Assemble troops in Linzi, meet the assistant general, and come to Yiyi (now Liaocheng, Shandong), a strategic place in the eastern part of Jin State. Although Yi Yi Cheng is not big, it is a strategic fortress of Jin State to the east of the Yellow River, a military base to deter Qi Wei, and naturally a thorn in the side of Qi Wei Alliance.

The strength of the Qi army accumulated for too long, and the war broke out completely. Before long, the Qi army captured Yi Yin alive and sent a message to the whole world: Qi people stood up from now on.

At the same time, according to the previous deployment, Wei Linggong also launched an attack on the Han family in the State of Jin (now west of Handan, Hebei).

Because of the resistance of 8 jin j, the attack did not achieve great results. However, Qi Jinggong was satisfied, which was regarded as revenge for the State of Jin. Soldiers who showed bravery in the battle were highly rewarded. After all, since the Luan Rebellion 550 years ago, Qi has not been so proud as it is today.

Five hundred years ago, Qi finally stood on the United front with Lu. This summer, Qilu formed an alliance. At this time, Qi, Lu, Wei and Zheng formally formed an alliance and surrounded the eastern front of the State of Jin.

In 497, Qi Jinggong joined forces with Weiguo and personally led an army to attack Hanoi, the state of Jin. This battle is not specifically recorded. The reaction of Jin people is also much slower than usual. Because a big fire is about to burn down the whole state of Jin. In the first 497 years, Zhao Jianzi wanted to send 500 families from Handan to Jinyang, but Wu Zhao, a doctor from Handan, opposed the immigration from Zhao Jianzi. Zhao Jianzi took advantage of the position of the patriarch, recruited Wu Zhao to Jinyang and killed him. Evonne, the son of Wu Zhao, launched a rebellion in Handan. Fan and Bank of China Yin Xun contributed money to drive them out of Beijing, and Zhao Yang retreated to Jinyang, then attacked Zhao's fief and surrounded Jinyang.

Xun Luo, Han Unbelief and Wei Yi pleaded with each other, saying that Fan and BOC were in chaos. Then he ordered three men, namely, Wei and Shi, to attack and move the stone, solve the siege of Jinyang and save it. China Bank and Fann withdrew their fiefs, and Jin Dinggong appointed Zhao Jianzi to be in charge of quelling the rebellion. It was too difficult for Fan and Bank of China to challenge the whole State of Jin, so they turned to Qi and other neighboring governors for help, and the anti-Jin alliance headed by Qi began to stir. Qi Jinggong can finally interfere in the internal affairs of Jin with dignity. ...

In the first 496 years, Fan and Bank of China led their troops, fled to protect their families and sang praises. In order to cut off the clan of Fan Jishe, Qi, Lu and Wei all sent troops to help Fan He, the second secretary of the Central Bank. Zhao Yang defeated Fan Jishe in Lu and Zheng Jun who came to the rescue in Baiquan.

In the first 494 years, taking advantage of Zhao Yang's preparations, he led the Qi, Lu and Wei armies to launch a second attack on Jin. Soon, Zhao Yang surrounded the soldiers and sang songs. Qing Er was trapped and asked Qi Jinggong for help. Ordered to send rations to the state of Jin, but Zhao stopped him and beat him with food. ...

In the first 493 years, Shi Jishe and Bank of China Yin wanted to fight a decisive battle with Zhao and fight for a larger foe. Zhao Yang led the Jin army to a decisive battle with Qing Er and the Eastern Anti-Jin Allied Forces in Tieqiu (now Puyang, Henan). Zhao Yang planned and inspired the 8 Jin Army, greatly boosted morale and dealt a blow to the elite of the allied forces. The anti-gold Coalition forces fell into a trough.

Before 49 1, in July, Qi Jinggong ordered ministers Chen Qi and Shi Xianying to kneel down and attack the fifth road of Jin State to relieve the military pressure of the defenders in Handan. In September, Zhao Jianzi personally supervised the siege of Handan, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than two months, and Handan finally failed. 165438+ In October, Handan was solved and fled to Zhongshan and Lin (now southwest of Lincheng County, Hebei Province). In February 65438+, Shi Xian led the Qi army to meet Evonne.

Handan city has been supported for five years, and now it belongs to Zhao. Zhao Jianzi gained the upper hand in the civil war, and Qi Jinggong couldn't sit still, so he decided to increase military assistance to Qing Er to turn the situation around. Just before Qi Jinggong's bones were cold, a plot to overthrow the Lushi regime was brewing, with Tianqi (also known as Chen Qi) as the mastermind behind it.

When Qi Jinggong was in power, the state power was stable, and abel tamata had no chance to beg. However, Gong Jing took care of his life, but he couldn't care about his death, especially before his death, which gave the conspirator Tian Qi the conditions to realize his political ambition.

In the summer of that year, Bao Mu and other doctors launched a coup and led his troops to attack the palace. After hearing the news, Zhang Gao drove to save Qi Hou and fought street battles with doctors in Zhuangjie. At this time, Chen used to bribe the people's hearts to give full play to their interests. All the people of Qi took refuge in Chen, Bao and the doctor, and all the people were soldiers. High, outnumbered, defeated. Xia Guoshi, Zhang Gao, Wei Yan (son of Yan Ying) and Xian defected.

Later, Chen coerced Bao Mu by deception, made his son his puppet, and sent someone to kill Tea for sake of sake.

From then on, the power of Qi fell into Chen's hands, and the Tian Dynasty assisted Qi Hou, and Tian ruled the state affairs and sacrificed to Lu. Until the first 386 years, Tian He was appointed as Qi Hou, and Tian He was appointed as Qi. In the first 379 years, Qi Kanggong lived a tragic life. "Lu is the last heir!" Qi Jinggong ascended the throne at a young age and ruled for 58 years. He was one of the longest reigning monarchs in the history of Qi. In the early days of supporting the government, he was able to accept guidance modestly. Seriously listened to and adopted the suggestions of Yan Ying, Xian Zhang and others, and let the virtuous minister govern the country, so that the state of Qi changed from chaos to governance in just a few years, the people's life was greatly improved, and the comprehensive national strength was improved. His literary and martial arts made Qi prosperous for a while, but later it became the cornerstone of Tian Ji's later strength.

Later, Qi Jinggong was greedy for pleasure, regardless of the lives of the people, and was severely punished. They not only live in luxury, drink too much, indulge in lewdness, build palaces, and even take out two-thirds of the people's income for their own enjoyment, making the people miserable and complaining, but they are not sympathetic to the people's feelings and insist on fighting for hegemony with the State of Jin. "The Analects of Confucius Ji's Chapter" said: "There are thousands of troops and horses. On the day of death, the people have no virtue, which is called Yan!" It's an evaluation of Gong Jing. Qi Jinggong drank until the evening. When his spirit recovered, he drove to Yan Zi's house to continue drinking. The guard knocked on Yan Zi's door and said, "Open the door quickly, the monarch is coming!" " Yan Zi hurriedly put on his dress and stood at the door and asked, "Did the Zhuangke invade?" ? Is there a problem with the country? Why did the monarch come to the courtier's house in the middle of the night? "Gong Jing said," the wine is delicious and the music is beautiful. I want to have fun with my husband! Yan Zi said, "There are people in the palace who provide food and wine. I dare not take part in such a thing! Knowing Yan Zi's integrity, Duke Jing of Jin said, "Let's go to the general's house for a drink!" ! "The guard knocked on the general's door again. When I heard that the monarch was coming, I stood at the door, fully armed and respectfully, and asked, "Did the ministers invade? "Minister, is there any rebellion? Why did the monarch come to me at midnight? " Gong Jing said, "The wine is delicious and the music is beautiful. I am willing to have fun with the general! " The general said, "There are people in the palace who serve wine and food. I dare not participate in such a thing! " Qi Jinggong cut his throat, so he ordered to drive to the residence of Minister Liang Qiu.

As soon as the attendants knocked on Liang Qiu's door, the other party heard that the monarch was coming, so they quickly opened the door, played music in person, played the harp in their left hand, took a shovel in their right hand, and accompanied Gong Jing to drink. Gong Jing was so drunk that he said, "I'm so happy! Today, I drink. Without people like Yan Zi and Mao Peng, how can the country be governed? How can I have fun without people like Liang Qiu? "

Yan Zi said: "The sage has good friends, but no fair-weather friends. Gong Jing can't do this, so both kinds of people use it. He can only be immortal! "
