rebellious minister and traitor

The Duke of Zheng was discussing with his ministers about going to see the King of Heaven when an envoy from Wei arrived, saying that Duke Huan of Wei had died and Duke Zhou Yu had assumed the throne. The Duke of Zheng was suspicious and asked the priest to find out what was going on inside. The priest said, "It has been rumored for a long time that the Duke of Wei was murdered by Zhou Yu." The Duke of Zheng frowned at that time and said, "Oh, no! Zhou Yu has murdered the king of the country, and he has to come to us. We must take precautions." When the giants heard this, they didn't understand how the state of Wei could come to Zheng when there was internal strife.

cc one was Duke Jin and the other was called Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu had some martial arts skills and liked to fight. He saw that his brother, Duke Wei Heng, was an honest man, weak and incompetent, unlike those who could do great things, so he despised him. He and his beloved Shi Hou discussed every day how to steal the throne.

In 719 B.C. (the year of Zhou Huan A.D.), the Duke of Wei set out for a pilgrimage to Luoyang to see the King of Zhou. He held a cup of wine and said to Duke Huan of Wei, "Today my brother is going out, my brother would like to drink with you." The Duke of Wei Huan then said, "I will come as soon as I go, why do you need to take so much trouble?" And he poured a cup in return. Zhou Yu both hands to pick it up intentionally pretended not to catch it, and the wine cup fell to the ground. He hurriedly picked it up, turned to Wei Heng Gong's back, took out a dagger, and stabbed him in the back. Wei Huan Gong was killed by him. He was surrounded by Zhou Yu's people, who dared to speak.

When he killed the king, he made Shi Hou the governor and said that the Duke of Wei had died of an emergency and went to report his death to the lords. But the people of Wei said that the ruler was killed by Zhou Yu and Shi Hou. In ancient times, the ruler of the state was also afraid that the people would not send. If the people in the country and the foreign vassals are not convinced, the throne will not be preserved. The king was very worried about this and had to find a way to make people admire him. They thought that the best way to win people's admiration was to win a battle and take advantage of the opportunity to grab some food. If you want to fight a war, you can't do it without a reason, you have to have a name to justify which country you want to fight and grab some food.

They will be in these countries to pick the wrong la. Shi Hou shook his head and said, "I have it! Shouldn't Zheng Bo be blamed for killing his brother and driving away his mother?" Zhou Yu nodded his head and said seriously, "Yes! Let's be reasonable. A man like Zheng Bo, who is so unfilial to his mother and does not love his brothers, must be severely punished!"

Zhou Yu wanted to appoint Chen and Cai to send troops together. Shi Hou said, "It would be better if Song and Lu could come together to defeat Zheng." Zhou Yu said, "The kingdoms of Chen and Cai have always obeyed the king of heaven, and now the king of heaven is in conflict with Zheng Bo, so if they want to please the king of heaven, they will agree to fight Zheng. But how can Song and Lu help us?" Shi Hou said, "The current Duke of Song is the nephew of Duke Mu of Song. The Duke of Song's son, Duke Feng, was hiding in Zheng, and the Duke of Song was afraid that Zheng Bo would help Duke Feng to steal his throne. We asked him to fight against Zheng, that is, to help him to destroy Gongzi Feng, but he still can not agree to the horse. When it comes to the state of Lu, the power is all in the hands of Duke Cui. As long as we send him more gifts, he will not refuse."
