After Xuan Jiang married Wei, he gave birth to Childe Shou and Childe Shuo. Ten years later, both sons have grown up, but their personalities are different. One is simple and honest (childe's hand), and the other is cunning and calculating (childe said).
At this point, Xuan Jiang has entered middle age, still won the favor of Wei. And Wei is old, Xuan Jiang began to worry, if Wei is old enough to give way, will there be a new monarch to take over, and the new monarch is probably the son he was going to marry. When I got married, I was taken away by Wei, the father of Gongzi Ji, who changed from her fiance to her stepson. This is a scandal between two people. Now Ziji is a prince. If he becomes the new king, what kind of complicated emotions will he have for himself? The thought of here, Xuan Jiang is utterly confused.
The scheming son Shuo saw his mother's mind and deliberately gossiped in front of his mother and Wei. It is often said that when Ji Gongzi was drunk, he stopped calling himself his brother and changed his name to his son, saying that his lover was taken away by Wei, and he would take back all the mountains and rivers one day ...? Wei Gongxuan was scared. I thought childe Ji was only a teenager, but now she is full-fledged and old. I wonder what childe Ji will do to herself in the future. So Wei decided to wait for an opportunity and kill Gongziji.
Xuan Jiang's other son, loyal Gongzishou, is usually very close to the Prince's brother Gongzishi. When he heard that Wei was going to kill Gongzi Ji, he tried his best to dissuade Gongzi Ji from being ordered to visit other countries, thinking that he would run away and Wei would definitely kill Gongzi Ji on the way to visit. Honest and kind son Ji did not believe that his father would kill himself and insisted on going.
Gong Zishou had no choice but to go with Gong. On the way to the boat, Gong got as drunk as a fiddler, stole the ambassador's cane and pretended to be Gong standing at the bow. It is said that Wei had an assassin and taught him to kill the envoy standing at the bow. The assassin then killed Gongzi Shou. Ji was awakened by the sound of the sword and found that his younger brother was dead. He cried and was heartbroken. He said to the assassin, I am Ji. You killed my brother by mistake. In that case, you might as well kill me and come back to me! Died on the boat, too
Poor kind and upright son Ji didn't believe that his father really sent someone to kill himself because of suspicion until the end. The closest brother died to protect himself. No wonder some people say that "emperors have been unlucky since ancient times and are the most ruthless emperors." This is probably the place where ugliness and cunning are concentrated in the world. Wei was vicious, lewd and promiscuous, violated the rules, robbed his son's fiancee, and killed his son more than ten years later. A kind man like Ji Gongzi would never understand Wei like an animal. Sadly ...?
What the world misses is that these two sons wrote this poem, which was later recorded in the Book of Songs. The poem describes the figure of two sons sailing by boat, expressing their yearning for their sons and their reluctance to be killed.

You two went by boat, and the boats drifted away. I miss you so much that my love is hard to get rid of.
You two went by boat. It's a long way. I am willing to consider my words, and there is no harm!
