Have you ever thought about what you were doing when you were 62? Perhaps for most ordinary people, at the age of 62, they have retired to grow flowers and grass to support themselves. However, more than 2,000 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, a man wandered for half his life and returned to China at the age of 62. In his later years, he created a world, stood above others and dominated the world. He was born in Jin Wengong, far from his native Zhong Er, and his life was doomed to be extraordinary. I am eager to learn from childhood, modest and polite. When I was young, I was surrounded by many talented people. These talents have always been with him and have been firmly supporting him during his exile for more than ten years. Jin Xiangong had many wives and concubines, gave birth to five sons for him and made Shen Sheng a prince. But Jin Xiangong dotes on Li Ji very much, while Li Ji regards other children as a thorn in his side. In order to make his son a prince of Jin, he persuaded Jin Xiangong to let Shen Sheng and Zhong Er leave the capital, so Zhong Er went to Pudong. Zhong Er, who is far away from the center of the struggle for kingship, just wants to live a quiet life at this time, but how can his identity make vicious Li Ji feel at ease? Step by step, Li Ji framed Prince Shen Sheng for suicide, and Yiwu fled back to his fief. Li Ji's constant framing made Jin Xiangong think that they had the heart of rebellion, so they really sent someone to kill Zhong Er. Zhong Er had no choice but to flee to her mother's old country-Di Guo. At this time, 43-year-old Zhong Er began his exile for nearly half his life. During this period, Zhong Er didn't care about the status of the monarch because of the establishment of a prince in Shen Sheng, but more about keeping his duty. But in the royal family, people are often killed because of this identity. Half a life in exile, fortunately, Zhong Er, a ginger, escaped and lived in Diguo for 12 years. During this period, he also had a quiet life. He remarried, had children and lived a normal life. Of course, he never forgot to return to the state of Jin, but the passage of time also made him gradually aging. After death, Li Ji wanted her son to succeed him, but it was a good thing and a bad thing. Minister Rick and others stabbed Xi Ji in front of Jin Xiangong's spirit, and then stabbed Zhuo Zi who succeeded to the throne. When the state of Jin was in chaos, Rick and others decided to welcome Zhong Er back to China to succeed him, but Zhong Er didn't accept it. Historical Records Volume 39 Ninth Family in Jin Dynasty: Rick and others killed Qi successively and lost his son, which made people welcome this son and wanted to establish him. Zhong Er thanked him and said, "I lost my father's life and my reputation." . When you go out, the father will not die, and the son of man will be mourned. How dare Zhong Er come in! So Yiwu went back and became a monarch named Jin. Although he gave up the kingship, his identity and reputation made Kim feel uneasy and sent a killer to assassinate him again. Even Di Guo is not safe this time, and he is going into exile again. Zhong Er went into exile in many countries. Some people look down on him, others are rude to him. Some want to help him, while others regard him as a vassal. Compared with the calm in Diguo, this period was really hard, but he persisted. People around you follow without complaint. They are Zhong Er's most precious wealth. When he came to Qi, he met Qi Jiang, the most important woman in his life. (Qi is a descendant of Jiang Ziya, and Jiang is his surname, so the women of the imperial clan of Qi are collectively called Qi Jiang after they get married. For example, Mrs Wei Zhuanggong, Mrs Lu Huangong and even Mrs Jin Xiangong are all called Qi Jiang, but they are not the same person). Qi Huangong was very polite to Zhong Er, who came to Qi, and married his imperial daughter. At this time, 55-year-old Zhong Er was not enterprising in a comfortable life. The warm bed and warm account every day make him forget the danger of fleeing, lose his determination to restore the country, and make his followers impatient. Although Qi Jiang is a woman, she always reminds him not to forget his mission and let him do something big. So he consulted with Zhao Shuai and others and took Zhong Er away from the capital after he got drunk. (This is also because the maid overheard the plan, and Qi Jiang ruthlessly killed the maid for her husband's career. ) After Zhong Er woke up, he still lingered in Gentle Township, cursing those who followed him. Qin Jin's good friend Zhong Er was exiled to Chu. King Chu Cheng had heard the name of Zhong Er for a long time and treated him as a vassal. Zhong Er declined politely and dared not accept it. "Historical Records" Volume 39 "Jin Family" When Zhong Er went to Chu, Chu treated him with courtesy and thanked him for his generosity. King Chu's hospitality also made Zhong Er very happy. At the banquet, King Chu Cheng asked Zhong Er how to thank him if he became a monarch in the future. Zhong Er immediately said that if the two armies met in the future, he was willing to stay out of it. Zai: Wang said: Although, why not report the valley? Zhong Er said, "Even if we have to fight the king, the annual meeting will be dull and broad. Please avoid the three houses of the king. So Zhong Er lived in Chu for several months. When the State of Qin sent someone to invite Zhong Er to the State of Qin, the King of Chu also told Zhong Er that Chu was too far away from the State of Jin to help him send troops. However, Qin Jin borders Qin, which is very helpful for him to restore the country. Zhong Er went to the state of Qin, and Qin Mugong gave him considerable courtesy, marrying all five women of the imperial clan to Zhong Er. Qin Mugong did this, on the one hand, because Jin betrayed his original oath to Qin (Yiwu relied on Qin to send troops to help him succeed, and then betrayed his promise to Qin), and Qin wanted to retaliate against him. In addition, the western part of Qin was unstable, and the war with Xirong forced Qin to maintain stability in the east. Therefore, actively making friends with Zhong Er, this short history is also the origin of the idiom "Qin Jin is good". In 637 BC, Jin died and Prince Huai succeeded to the throne. However, the State of Jin did not recognize Huai Gong, and secretly actively contacted Zhong Er. The army of the State of Jin also said that if Zhong Er returned to China, he would be willing to work for him. This year is the greatest opportunity in Zhong Er's life. After 9 years in exile, he will never miss this opportunity. Under the escort of the State of Qin, Zhong Er returned to the State of Jin to become a monarch, secretly killed Duke Huai of Jin, and threw all the military and political power of the whole country into his arms. He is known as Jin Wengong in history. Later, due to the fire of the Zhou royal family, King Xiang of Zhou fled in defeat and sent an urgent document asking the governors to be diligent. Zhao Shuai thinks this is a very good opportunity to take advantage of the diligent king's opportunity to join the world. (At that time, Qi Huangong, the overlord of the vassal, was dead). It is suggested that Jin Wengong send troops as soon as possible. Jin Wengong led troops to escort King Xiang of Zhou back to Luoyi, the king's capital, and killed the rebellious Wang Zidai. At this time, Jin Wengong's reputation has spread throughout the Central Plains. Jin Wengong appointed talented people and reformed the military system, making Jin, which was not weak, the first of the vassal states. At this time, his capital to dominate the world is quite abundant. Countries that didn't respect him in exile were also defeated by him one by one, and when Chu was going to develop northward, the two countries met, which was also the pace of historical progress, and it was inevitable to avoid it. When the armies of the two countries met, Jin Wengong kept his promise and did not approach. There was a house thirty miles away. Back 90 miles, back to Chengpu, the two sides fought a decisive battle. In the end, Jin Wengong won the victory, completely crushing the heart of Chu's Northern Expedition. After the Battle of Chengpu, King Xiang of Zhou was recognized as a vassal leader, and in the same year he convened a vassal alliance in the name of Zhou Tianzi to recognize his hegemony. At this time, Jin Wengong really realized his ambition to dominate the world. Jin Wengong's road to hegemony is indeed bumpy. Compared with other overlords, he can't be a shopkeeper of cutting like Qi Huangong, a rich man like Chu Zhuangwang, and has no forbearance like Gou Jian. However, he has rich experience that others don't have. Long-term exile has taught him how to treat people and things and how to govern the country after the restoration of the country. There are many controversies about Jin Wengong's life. If he had been idle in Diguo for twelve years, when Rick went to pick him up, he refused. For another example, when I was in Qi, I was very happy and didn't want to go home. But these are the characteristics of human nature, and it is with these characteristics that life can be more real. Man is not a fairy, he can't predict his future, nor can he restrain his words and deeds everywhere like a saint. It is these imperfections that make his road to rejuvenation more perfect. Although we can comment on the merits and demerits of the past century, when reviewing the deeds of these historical figures, we should still look at the problem with an inclusive eye, which will inspire people and sublimate their emotions. It is a truth to take its essence and discard its dross. Finally, it must be pointed out that the Qijiang River is vital to the revival of Jin Wengong. It can be said that without Qi Qiang's understanding and justice, Zhong Er might die in a gentle village. This is a blessing for Zhong Er and Jin. And she not only helped him deal with the royal family of Qi after he left, but also treated other wives and concubines well after his restoration, saving the housework and letting him concentrate on governing the country and monopolize the country. Unfortunately, there are not many records about her in ancient books, so that future generations only know her name as Qi Jiang.
