Qi. When Duke Xiao attacked the northern border of Lu, Duke Xi sent Zhan Xi to comfort the Qi army and asked him to go to Zhan Qin to receive diplomatic instructions to reward the Qi army. Before the Marquis of Qi came to the scene, Zhan Xi followed him and said, "I heard that you personally raised the jade toe and humiliated the city, so I asked my ministers to reward the deacon." The Marquis of Qi said, "Are the people of Lu afraid? He replied: "The villain is afraid, but the gentleman is not." "The Marquis of Qi said: "The houses are like a county that is exhausted, and there is no green grass in the fields. How can we rely on it and not be afraid? He said to him, "It depends on the order of the late king." In the past, the Duke of Zhou, the Grand Duke of the Zhou Dynasty, and Jia Fu became the king. When the king became a king, he worked for him and gave him an alliance, saying: 'There will be no harm to each other from generation to generation! "It was recorded in the League Mansion, the Master's Office, that Duke Huan was trying to unite the princes to seek discord, repair the gaps, rescue them from disasters, show off his old post, and ascend to the throne. The princes looked to him and said, "He led Huan to the throne. Gong, "I am afraid of preserving the power of the city. I said: 'Why did he give up his life and abandon his position in the ninth year of his heir's life? Who is the king before him? You must not be like this.' Don't be afraid because of this." The Marquis of Qi said return.
Qi Xiaogong had not yet entered the territory of Lu State. Zhan Xi went out to meet him and said: "I heard that you personally sent a large army to visit our city and sent your ministers to reward your right and left. Attendant." Qi Xiaogong asked: "Are the people of Lu afraid?" Zhan Xi replied: "The villain is afraid, but the gentleman is not." Qi Xiaogong said: "Your treasury is as empty as a hanging chime. There is no green grass, so what can you rely on to not be afraid?" Zhan Xi replied: "In the past, Duke Zhou and Tai Gong assisted the Zhou family, and King Cheng comforted them and gave them a covenant. "From generation to generation, do not harm each other." This covenant was hidden in the League House and was under the control of Taishi. Duke Huan therefore united the princes to resolve their disharmony, make up for their shortcomings, and rescue them from disaster. They are all about showing off the past. When the prince ascends the throne, the princes have high hopes and say, "He will inherit Duke Huan's achievements." Therefore, our city does not dare to defend the city and gather people, saying, "Is it true that he has ascended the throne?" How can he explain to his ancestors that he would abandon his royal orders and abandon his duties in the year? "You will not be afraid if you rely on this." Qi Xiaogong then withdrew his troops and returned to his country.
5. Appreciation
This article records an outstanding diplomatic activity of the State of Lu.
In the 26th year of Duke Xi of Lu, Duke Xiao of Qi attacked the state of Lu. At that time, Qi was strong and Lu was weak, and a famine had just occurred in Lu, so it was really powerless to resist. Lu Gong sent his envoy Zhan Xi to go there, and specifically asked Zhan Xi to ask his brother Zhan Qin for advice before leaving. Zhan Qiao was given face-to-face instruction, allowing Zhan Xi to successfully complete the task. The main characters appearing in the article are Zhan Xi and Qi Xiaogong. Lu_gong only appeared at the beginning and should be a minor character. The other person is Zhan Qin. Although he does not appear, the main contents of the article are all planned by him and he should be the main character. Here is an introduction to them.
Qi Xiaogong, Qi Xiaogong, was the crown prince established by Qi Huangong before he succeeded to the throne. He was not born to Duke Huan's wife. None of Duke Huan's wives had any children, but several of his concubines had more than ten sons. Five of them have each developed certain influence in the court. Duke Xiao was famous as the son of Zheng Ji, but Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong were very fond of him, so they specially entrusted him to Duke Xiang of Song and established him as the crown prince. When Guan Zhong died and Duke Huan of Qi was ill, the five princes all asked for his throne and they did not care whether Duke Huan lived or died. Even after Duke Huan died, they did not mourn him and only led his cronies to attack each other in a melee. After more than two months of fighting, Wugui won. After he succeeded to the throne, he put Qi Huangong's body in a coffin. Duke Huan of Qi had dominated the princes for decades, but he never expected to die in peace. Before Wugui succeeded to the throne and had no time to name his reign, Song Xianggong led several armies of princes to attack Qi three months later and sent Prince Zhao back to Qi. Wu Gui was killed by the Qi people, but after the allied forces of the princes withdrew, the four princes' followers gathered and attacked Prince Zhao. Zhao had no choice but to flee to the Song Dynasty. Song Xianggong sent troops again to defeat the fourth prince, and Qi Xiaogong was able to secure his position. The seat of the king.
Lu_Gong Lu_Gong, his father is Lu Zhuanggong in "Cao GUI's Debate". Duke Zhuang of Lu had three younger brothers, named Qingfu, Shuya, and Jiyou. Duke Zhuang of Lu originally married Meng's daughter, who gave birth to a son named Ban. Later he married Qi's daughter Ai Jiang and sister Ai Jiang, and her sister's uncle Jiang gave birth to sons named Kai and Shen. Duke Zhuang of Lu was ill and planned to appoint his son Ban to succeed him, but his uncle Ya was unwilling to help, so Ji You killed his uncle Ya and established Ban. Qing's father had an affair with Ai Jiang. During the mourning period of Ji You and Ban, he launched a coup to kill the young master Ban Likai. This was Duke Lu_. Ji You then fled to the state of Chen. The next year Qingfu killed Duke Lu again and wanted to make himself king. Ji You assisted _ Gong's younger brother Shen, and Chen Benlu called on the army and the people to chase Qing's father. Qing's father and Ai Jiang fled, and Prince Shen succeeded him as Duke of Lu. Later, Qing's father was forced to commit suicide, and Ai Jiang was killed by Duke Huan of Qi. In just a few years, the state of Lu continued to be in turmoil, and it was not until the death of Qing's father that things settled down. This is what the idiom says: "If you celebrate your father's death, you will still be in trouble."
This confrontation between Qi and Lu had no direct cause, no major conflict of interest, and the two armies were not at war. Even this diplomatic activity is not recorded in "Historical Records". After thinking about it carefully, this operation was just a famine in the Lu State, and Qi Xiaogong took advantage of it to show off his military power. Qi Xiaogong's country is not at peace, and all the young masters are watching him. Qi Xiaogongquan conducted military training, and also let the brothers who peeked at the throne see: I am not without tricks. Qi Xiaogong's backyard was unstable, and this operation could not destroy the Lu State, but it was just a show of strengthening the military power. The last thing he wanted to see was the desperate resistance of the Lu Army in a desperate situation. Zhan Qin has a thorough understanding of the macro situation so that he can be confident. Please Zhan Xi just give Qi Xiaogong a high hat: "What you inherit is Jiang Ziya's career, and what you carry forward is Qi Huangong's tradition. If there is a famine in the Lu country, there will still be disasters." I'll lend it to you! "It's natural to call a truce.
Zhan Xi’s brother Zhan Qin is a key figure who does not appear in the article. He was famous in the Lu State at that time. Later, his actions became a traditional moral widely circulated among the people of our country. model.
Zhan Qin, whose name was given the courtesy name Qin. It is said that he also had the nickname "Ji" and his nickname was Liuxia Hui. Liuxia was his food town, and Hui was his posthumous title. He served as a doctor in the state of Lu, but because of his dissatisfaction with the officialdom, he lived in seclusion and became a fugitive. He was hit and ostracized many times. Because of his reputation for his conduct and knowledge, the princes offered him an official position, but he declined them all. The Analects of Confucius spoke highly of this act. It quoted Liu Xiahui himself as saying: "I was repeatedly deposed in the State of Lu just because I persisted in the principles of life. If I persisted, the result would be the same wherever I went; If you give up, you can get a high official and a good salary in Lu State, so why leave your hometown?" Liu Xiahui's "sitting in peace" can be seen in the "Book of Songs". The story tells of a man from the State of Lu. On a stormy night, a neighbor woman knocked on the door. Because her house was destroyed, she asked to take shelter from the rain. The man refused to let her in, and the woman asked: "Liu Xiahui, a woman who can use her body to keep warm from the cold, why can't you protect me?" This refers to Zhan Qin once going out to stay overnight. The weather was very cold, and another woman stayed overnight. Her clothes were thin and soaked. , Zhan Qin was afraid that she would freeze to death, so he took off her clothes and held her in his arms to keep her warm until dawn. Comments from later generations said: "Liu Xia Hui was able to sit in her arms calmly, and the men of Lu felt ashamed and did not dare to let women in."
