In the 14th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, according to the " Zuo Zhuan ", the entrenched in Liyi, namely Gongzi Tu, after seventeen years of tolerance and preparation, returned to Xinzheng . With the cooperation of Fu Xia, the doctor of Zheng State, Fu Xia, killed the king of the king Ziyi (Li Gong’s brother) and his two sons, and sent Zheng Li Gong back to the throne of the king of Zheng State. This coup is the fifth coup in Zheng State since Duke Huan of Lu. During these five coups, the three sons and three grandsons of Duke Zhuang of paid the price of their lives! All of this, in the eyes of the author of "Zuo Zhuan", was caused by the "curse" thirty-two years ago! To this end, we need to cut "Zuo Zhuan" back to Lu Yin Gong eleven years.

Fu Xia Nacheng

Lu Yingong eleven years, in order to protect his grandson Gongsun Yan , Zheng Zhuanggong used despicable means to kill Ying Kaoshu by secret arrows. The incident of Gongsun Yan killing Ying Kaoshu was not based on facts and punishment as the criterion, but instead adopted the curse method of "shouting to go out, chickens and dogs" to solve the problem! In that year, "Zuo Zhuan" criticized this through the mouth of a gentleman: "Duke Zhuang of Zheng has lost his political punishment. Political governance is used to govern the people, and punishment is based on good and evil. There is no virtue and power, and there is no evil. What will be beneficial for cursing it with evil!" Such an evaluation should be the foreshadowing method of "Zuo Zhuan", which indicates that this matter is not over yet! The troubles of Zheng State are still behind! Or the "retribution" brought by the curse will happen one after another!

The eleventh year of Duke Huan of Lu, that is, the "curse" incident, unfortunate events that occurred in Zheng State one after another! The "curses" consequences predicted by the author of "Zuo Zhuan" have begun to appear one by one.

The first thing is the unfortunate death of Duke Zhuang of Zheng! According to the "Spring and Autumn Annals", in the eleventh year of Duke Huan of Lu, Duke Zhuang of Zheng passed away shortly after he went to the evil Cao to participate in the alliance! At this time, Duke Zhuang of Zheng was about fifty-six years old. Judging from the situation where Mr. Zhuang of Zheng was buried in a hurry less than three months after his death, it is more likely that will die suddenly in ! It was precisely because of the sudden death of Duke Zhuang of Zheng that the political situation in Zheng State had subversive changes! It also provides an opportunity for Song Zhuanggong to implement the horse replacement plan of the king of Zheng State.

The second thing is that due to the horse replacement plan arranged by Duke Zhuang of Song, the first successful coup occurred in the history of Zheng State. In this coup, Duke Zhuang of Song threatened the powerful minister of Zheng State Ji Zhong, and forced Ji Zhong to cooperate with the Song State to expel Zheng Zhao Gong, who had only been in power for several months, that is, the crown prince Hu. After being overthrown, Duke Zhao of Zheng fled into the guards. Therefore, according to the wishes of the people of Song, Master 1 successfully ascended the throne of the king of Zheng! But this coup unveiled Pandora's box of political disaster in Zheng State! From then on, the situation in Zheng State declined.

The third thing is the Yongjiu difficulty that happened in Zheng State. In the fourth year after Duke Li of Zheng took office, that is, the fifteenth year of Duke Huan of Lu, Duke Li of Zheng was unwilling to be exploited and extorted by Song State, and was even more unwilling to be controlled and merciless by Ji Zhong. To this end, Zheng Li Gong colluded with Ji Zhong's son-in-law Yong Jiu to get rid of the powerful minister Ji Zhong, but due to the lawsuit against Ji Zhong's daughter, the conspiracy went bankrupt and Yong Jiu was killed. Zheng Li Gong had to flee into Cai, and later seized the Zheng State's Li Yi and occupied the business.

The fourth thing is, after Duke Li of Zheng ran away, Ji Zhong took back the prince Hu Zheng Zhaogong who fled to the guard. He is the eldest son of Duke Zhuang of Zheng and the father of Gongsun Yan. After Duke Zhao of Zheng restored his throne, he worked for less than two and a half years and was killed by another powerful minister of Zheng State Gao Qumi ! According to the "Records of the Grand Historian", the method of killing was copied by Gongsun Yan's method of insidious arrows. When Zheng Zhaogong went hunting, Gao Qumi shot an arrow from behind him! The reason why Gao Qumi killed Mr. Zhao of Zheng was simply because Mr. Zhao of Zheng did not like him and was worried that he would be liquidated sooner or later!

The fifth thing, Gao Qumi killed Zheng Zhaogong and became a powerful minister. Under Gao Qumi's operation, the other son of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, Prince Tuo, was supported to the throne of the king. But Gao Qumi's good days ended. More than half a year later, in the autumn of the 18th year of Duke Huan of Lu, in the head-to-head alliance chaired by Duke Xiang of Qi, Duke Xiang of Qi not only broke Gao Qumi, but also killed Prince Tuo.At this point, the two sons of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, Gongzi Hu and Gongzi Tuo, have both become victims of the political disasters of Zheng State. Four coups in eight years will definitely make Zheng State difficult!

The sixth thing is, after the death of Prince Tuo, the powerful minister Ji Zhong took back Gongziyi from Chen State (also known as Gongziying, or Ziyi ) and helped the throne of the king. But in the fifteen years since then, the king of Zheng basically disappeared on international occasions. At the same time, Zheng State, which used to call wind and rain on the Central Plains, disappeared. In this way, time came to the 14th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu. As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Duke Li of Zheng also began his journey of restoration! During this restoration, under the cooperation of the Zheng State doctor Fu Xia, Duke Li of Zheng successfully entered Xinzheng and regained his long-lost throne of the Zheng State. The fifth coup since Zheng State entered the Spring and Autumn Period was successful again! Sadly, for this coup, Fu Xia had already killed Guo Junziyi and his two sons.

However, this is not the final outcome! According to the 16th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu in "Zuo Zhuan", Duke Li of Zheng took crazy revenge after he took power. During the revenge, Duke Li of Zheng killed Prince Yan and Qiang Zhu. The prince Yan may be Gongsun Yan, and should be the son of Zheng Zhaogong. After Zheng Zhaogong died, of course he became the young master. If this is true, those who died in the shadow of Duke Zhuang of Zheng were not only his three sons, but also his three grandsons!

What a tragic price! From the perspective of time, Duke Yin of Lu played a "cursive" trick in eleven years, and Duke Zhuang of Zheng played a "cursive" trick until Duke Zhuang of Zheng died, which lasted for eleven years. It took another twenty-one more years to restore the reign of Duke Zhuang of Zheng Zhuang and Duke Li of Zheng. In total, the political situation of Zheng State has been in turmoil for thirty-two years, and the powerful Zheng State has since changed from a big country to a small country living in the cracks of the great powers, which is very sad! Why do you need to calculate this way

? Because, from the perspective of ancient superstition, Duke Zhuang of Zheng must have violated the "will of heaven"! The punishments suffered will inevitably become fate, such as "stops and dogs" and "going out of the way", which may have some "numerical" connection with the death of Duke Zhuang of Zheng and his descendants! This is a riddle unique to the ancients. It is necessary for wise men who are proficient in the principles of Yi and Number to solve the mystery!
