Guan Zhong closed his eyes slightly, and decades of life passed by in my mind one by one.
He knew that he was not a perfect person, and he could not even be called a gentleman. He was greedy for money. After becoming a prime minister, he was "rich in the office, and had three return to the dian". He had whatever the king had, and he was extremely luxurious. He was lustful and "buyed seven hundred women to seek the resources of night and night." He set a precedent for brothels. While promoting the national economy, he often sang all night. He had no integrity, and did not commit suicide after his defeat, but he happily accepted Xiaobai's employment. But these did not prevent him from becoming a hero full of halo, because he understood the law and practiced political affairs and diligent state affairs, so that the State of Qi could be harmonious and the people could live and work in peace and contentment; he governed the three armies and corrected the justice and barbarians, so that Duke Huan of Qi would look down on the world, and all the princes would surrender.
Guan Zhong was satisfied with his life. If life was an exam, he thought he would hand over at least 90% of the answer. But now he was a little confused when facing Duke Huan of Qi's question. Yes, who can take over after he dies? It's really a nerve-wracking question. Because in his opinion, no one in Qi State was qualified.
Seeing that Guan Zhong didn't say anything for a long time, Duke Huan of Qi took the initiative to mention three people: Yiya , vertical knife (diao), and Gongzi Kaifang.
Yiya, the logistics manager of Duke Huan of Qi, and a chef. Duke Huan of Qi likes to eat the dishes he cooks the most. When talking about Yi Yin , Liu Yijun mentioned him, which is one of the several famous chefs in history. He became famous because he once did something that shocked everyone and stewed his son for Duke Huan of Qi to eat. Once, Duke Huan of Qi joked with his ministers that I had eaten everything, but I just didn’t know what human flesh tasted. After hearing this, Yi Ya thought about it and had a chance to express herself. When she got home, she stewed her newborn son and gave it to Duke Huan of Qi to taste the next day. Duke Huan of Qi gave his thumbs up and asked Yi Ya, what kind of meat is this, it is so fragrant. Yi Ya cried and told Duke Huan of Qi that this was my son's flesh. Duke Huan of Qi was moved after hearing this and told others that Yi Ya loved me better than his family.
Guan Zhong heard Duke Huan of Qi mention Yi Ya and felt nauseous, saying, "Killing a son to suit the king is not human nature." In order to curry favor with the leader, his biological son killed him as soon as he said he could kill him, and it was definitely not useful for animals.
gongzi Kaifang was the son of the king of Wei. Seeing that Duke Huan of Qi dominated the world and was much better than his father, he came to serve him and stayed there for more than ten years but never returned home. Duke Huan of Qi asked him, don’t you miss home? Kaifang said, "Who is my parents? I only have you in my eyes." Duke Huan of Qi was moved again and said, "You are more than your parents."
Guan Zhong felt even more nauseous, "I have a close relative to you to help you". In order to pursue fame and fortune, I can't do at least filial piety, and I am also a beast and cannot use it.
vertical knife, the general manager of the inner corps, turned out to be just a grassroots official. In order to get close to Duke Huan of Qi, he raised his sword to castrate himself and went to the palace to become a eunuch. Duke Huan of Qi was moved this time, saying, "I love me with a sword... Cough cough, I won't compare."
Guan Zhong, who was nauseating, couldn't help but vomit when he heard this name, and waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't say it, this person is even more useless, it's worse than beasts."
After this trouble, Guan Zhong quickly passed away. Duke Huan of Qi obeyed Guan Zhongyan's plan all his life, but did not listen this time, and continued to reuse these three beasts who loved him. The result can be imagined, miserable, and very miserable.
In 643 BC, Duke Huan of Qi passed away, and his five sons fought for the throne of the king and civil unrest occurred. Yi Ya, Shu Dao and others were busy helping the young master who supported him to grab the chairs, and had long forgotten his vows with Duke Huan of Qi. The poor overlord, Duke Huan of Qi, was thrown on the bed for 67 days after his death, but no one paid attention to it. The maggots that had grown had crawled out of the door. It was not until Young Master Wugui officially ascended the throne that he was buried in a coffin. In response to Cao Xueqin's words in " Good Song Notes ": The humble room and empty hall were filled with scepters at the time; the decayed grass and withered poplars were once a singing and dancing venue. You just finished singing and I came on stage, and instead recognized that a foreign land was his hometown; it was ridiculous, and in the end it was all about making wedding clothes for others! It's so sad!
Qi State began to decline since Guan Zhong and Duke Huan of Qi. The disaster caused constant internal strife in Xiao Wall. The position of the king was turned by his five sons. After each became the king, he was trembling and wondering how to sit firmly, for fear that someone would accidentally be pried away by others. He would not have the ability to control other people's affairs. Therefore, he gradually lost his style of a boss and no longer had the conditions to be a hegemon.
At this time, a major power in the Central Plains took advantage of the situation and rose to take over the position of overlord. This country is called Jin State , the king Jin Wengong Chong'er, and Spring and Autumn Overlord ranked second in the list. There are more stories happening in Chong'er than Duke Huan of Qi. His story begins next issue, and all the classmates come with me!
