[Classic] In Xia, the army and the Qi army surrounded Yin, and Yin surrendered to the Qi army.
This year, the self-esteem of the people of Lu was hurt again.
Under the call of Qi Xianggong , Qi and Lu jointly attacked the country of . After they surrounded the capital of the country of , the country of Yi surrendered to the people of the state of Qi alone.
Zhuang Gong's brother Qingfu was furious and asked to attack Qi. Lu Zhuang Gong thought that the time was not coming, and said that he should cultivate his virtue and wait for the opportunity.
This opportunity really didn’t take long for Duke Lu Zhuang to wait.
[Classic] On the tenth day of winter, in the first month of Guiwei, Qi Wuzhi killed his king and his sons.
Qi Xianggong sent officials Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu to guard Kuiqiu. Before taking office, the two officials asked them when they could come back. Since it was the time when the melons were ripe in July, Qi Xianggong said casually: "When the melons are ripe next year, I will find someone to replace you. They."
An idiom was born
When the melons were ready in the second year, Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu did not receive the notification of the change of defense, so they asked Qi Xianggong, but Xianggong pretended to be deaf and refused.
As a result, the two began to plot to cause chaos.
They found Duke Xiang's cousin Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun Wuzhi was the son of Yi Zhongnian, the uncle of Duke Xiang of Qi. Duke Xiang's father, Duke Xi, had always been fond of him. When Duke Xi was alive, he gave him the same treatment as Duke Xiang of Qi. After Duke Xiang of Qi came to the throne, he deprived him of his treatment, so he always felt resentful.
He even said that there was a cousin who was the concubine of Duke Xiang and was not favored. Gongsun Wuwu asked him to monitor Qi Xianggong's daily life in the palace, and promised: "If (the rebellion) succeeds, you will be my wife." Pig, someone among his attendants said: "This pig looks like Young Master Peng Sheng!"
Young Master Peng Sheng was the brother who helped Qi Xianggong kill Duke Huan of Lu, and was killed by Duke Xiang in order to appease the anger of the Lu people.
"Peng Sheng still dares to come out (pretend to be a ghost to scare me)!" Qi Xianggong shouted with anger and shot an arrow at the wild boar.
Isn’t it scary?
When the wild boar was shot, not only did it not escape, but it got up and howled loudly like a human being. At this time, Qi Xianggong finally collapsed. He was so frightened that he fell off the car, lost his shoes, and twisted his feet. Cang Cang fled back to the palace in panic.
After returning to the palace, he vented his anger on Fei, the eunuch next to him, and used the excuse that his shoes were missing and asked him to look for them. The place where the shoes were lost had been dozens of miles away, so where could Fei find them?
So Qi Xianggong whipped Fei until Fei was bruised and bloody.
Fei went out miserably, and happened to meet the rebels who were coming with great momentum. It was probably that Gongsun Wuwu had made preparations while Qi Xianggong was out, and was just waiting for him to come back.
When the rebels saw Duke Xiang's cronies coming out, they immediately arrested him. Fei quickly defended himself, saying that Duke Xiang had just beaten me for no reason, and I hated him too. Why don't I go in first to investigate the situation, and then everyone can go in again.
The rebels saw him lift up his clothes to reveal the scars on his back, and chose to believe him.
Unexpectedly, even though Fei had just been beaten, he was still loyal to Xianggong. It is estimated that although Xianggong was cruel, he was still kind to his servants. After Fei entered, he asked Qi Xianggong to hide, then took his weapons and went to the door to resist the rebels. He was killed by the rebels at the door.
Another eunuch, Shi Fen, died in the battle at the foot of the steps. The rebels entered the palace and saw someone (eunuch Meng Yang) lying on the bed. They immediately killed him, but after looking at him they said, "It's not the king, he doesn't look like it!"
Then they looked around, and finally saw a pair of feet exposed under the open door, so they killed Duke Xiang.
After the regicide was successful, they assisted Gongsun Wuwu to ascend the throne.
Another note: From this year onwards, Zuo Zhuan’s story began to become very exciting.
