Life of the characters

The first year

In the year of Lumin (661 B.C.), Jin was the second army and became a powerful country, which laid a military foundation for the later struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

In the spring of the first year, the spring and Autumn Annals did not record the accession to the throne because of the turmoil.

Di people attacked Xing state. Guan Zhong said to Duke Huan of Qi, "Rong Di is like a jackal, which can't be satisfied; the countries in the central plains are close to each other, which can't be abandoned; ease is poison, which can't be left behind. The poem says, "don't you want to go back? What you are afraid of is the military order on this bamboo slip." The military order written on the bamboo slips means to share common hatred with the enemy, so I ask you to listen to the bamboo slips and save the state of Xing. " So Qi sent troops to rescue Xing.

In summer and June, Zhuang Gong was buried. Because of the turmoil, it was postponed.

In autumn and August, Duke min and Duke Huan of Qi formed an alliance in Luogu and asked Duke Huan of Qi to help Ji you return home. Duke Huan of Qi agreed to send someone to recall Ji you from the state of Chen. Duke min lived in Langdi and waited for him. The spring and Autumn Annals records that "Ji Zi comes and goes", which is to praise Ji you.

In winter, Zhong sun Qiu of Qi state came to express his sympathy for the disaster. In the spring and Autumn Annals, he was called "Zhong sun" and praised him.

Zhongsun returned home and said, "if you don't get rid of Qingfu, the misfortune of the state of Lu is not over. "Duke Huan of Qi said," how can we get rid of him? "Zhongsun replied," if there are endless disasters, you will be doomed. Just wait. "Duke Huan of Qi said," can the state of Lu obtain it? "Zhong Sun said," no, they still abide by Zhou rites. Zhou ceremony is the foundation of a nation. My minister heard: "the country is going to perish, the trunk will fall, and then the branches and leaves will fall." The state of Lu and Zhou can not abandon it. You should be engaged in the calamity of stabilizing Lu and be close to it. Close to a country with etiquette, rely on a stable and powerful country, alienate a country with lax internal structure, and destroy a country with chaos and turbulence. It's the way to dominate. “

Two years

In the spring of the second year, Hu Gong defeated Gou Rong where the Wei river flowed into the Yellow River. Zhou Zhiqiao, a doctor of Hu, said, "it is a disaster to receive a salary without merit. Disaster is coming! "He fled to the state of Jin.

In summer, a ceremony of sacrifice was held for Zhuang Gong. The time of the event was advanced.

At the beginning, min Gong's teacher forcibly occupied the land of Bu Yi, a doctor of Lu. Min Gong did not prohibit it.

Autumn, August, xinchou day, Gongzhong (Qingfu posthumous title "Gongzhong") sent Bu Yi to kill min Gong in Wuwei. Cheng Ji fled to the state of Ying with him. After Gongzhong fled, Ji you and Duke Fu returned to the state of Lu and made Duke Fu King. Lu people used their wealth to seek Gongzhong from the state of Ju, and the state of Ju sent Gongzhong back to the state of Lu. When he arrived at the secret place, he asked childe fish to ask Ji you to forgive him, but he was not allowed to. Childe fish went back crying. Gongzhong said, "this is the cry of Childe fish." So he hanged himself.
