The situation and countermeasures of Zheng Zhuanggong, the leader squeezing out his subordinates
In the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, in addition to the ** era of ideological and cultural contend, there is also a ruthless power struggle between princes and ministers! Zheng Zhuanggong, the first prince of the Spring and Autumn Period, established the hegemony of Zheng on the basis of his father's generation, which was just a difficult and dirty process, and how many politicians were pure and immaculate? In addition to eating Zhou Gong's son almost alive, he also led his own brother to a dead end step by step. Power corrupts people's hearts, blinds goodness, and when everyone keeps increasing his desires, he is also getting closer and closer to destruction.
How man is born between heaven and earth and how he becomes a human is an eternal topic, there is no standard answer, everyone has their own answer. If you want to take your destiny into your own hands, you must climb upward, otherwise you can only be slaughtered by others. If you ask each of us, who is your closest person? Probably more than half of them would answer: My mother! Yes, a mother's love for us is selfless, but what mother doesn't love her children? However, Zheng Zhuanggong's mother, Wu Jiang, was very resentful of her son Zheng Zhuanggong.
When Zhuang Gong was born, the pain of dystocia almost killed his mother Wu Jiang. Because of this, Wu Jiang has always disliked Zhuang Gong's son, from the name she gave Zhuang Gong"Death"You can see it. "Death"means"Wake up", which means difficult birth, obviously Zhuang Gong's birth left a shadow in Wu Jiang's heart. Therefore, after Zhuang Gong's younger brother Uncle Duan was born, Wu Jiang loved his youngest son very much and was even more hostile to Zhuang Gong. She repeatedly suggested to her husband Zheng Wugong to get rid of Yanzi and let her uncle Duan inherit the throne, but Zheng Wugong did not accept her request. Of course, Zheng Zhuanggong knew about it, but he just heard it with his own ears and saw it with his own eyes. He is a very scheming person, he has never heard of this matter, he has never mentioned it to his father, nor has he taken the initiative to investigate, just to make his father feel that Zheng Wugong is broad-minded and will not worry about his mother and younger brother. In fact, Zheng Zhuanggong wanted to protect himself and didn't want to report to ** prematurely.
After the death of Zheng Wugong, Zheng Zhuang Gong ascended the throne. Wu Jiang said to Zheng Zhuanggong"Yan Zi, you are now the king of a great country, but your younger brother and uncle Duan still have nothing, so you can give him a fief, let him make a living, and don't become the laughing stock of others! "Hearing this, Zheng Zhuanggong said:"By the way, mother, do you think it's good to raise him in **? "Wu Jiang said:"I think it's a good place, you see? "Zheng Zhuanggong knew that his mother was testing himself, and the strategic position of the system was very important, if he took over the system, he could cut Zheng Zhuanggong's throat, so he didn't agree, but he couldn't refuse his mother like this, after a long pause, a thought came to his mind, and he slowly said to Wu Jiang"Mother, the system is a dangerous place, and it was there that Uncle Guo's head was killed, how can I bear to let my brother risk it there? How could I bear to let my brother venture there? How could I bear to let my brother venture there? Let my brother choose somewhere else than the Governor! "Wu Jiang thought for a while and said:"Then make Jingdi a fief for my brother! He doesn't have to stay in the capital, let him go directly to the fiefdom to live! Otherwise, the brothers will always take care of each other! "
Wu Jiang hopes that Uncle Duan will stay away from Zheng Zhuanggong, so that he can not only be free, but also cultivate his strength and prepare for becoming a strong man in the future, and stay under the nose of Zheng Zhuanggong, let alone cultivate, as long as there is wind and grass, I am afraid there is only one way to die. After arriving in the capital, Gongshu Duan began to relax and did not hesitate to show his ambitions to the world. He first built the walls of the capital city to make it more luxurious than the walls of the state and county, in order to test the attitude of Zheng Zhuanggong before deciding on his next move.
Zheng Zhuanggong's calmness made his ministers unbearable, they began to be impetuous, following Zheng Zhuanggong, the boss, and waiting for Uncle Duan's kid **, their good days may be completely over. Minister Cai Zhong stood up and said to Zheng Zhuanggong on behalf of everyone:"In the previous royal system, it was stipulated that the large capital could not exceed one-third of the capital, the medium capital could not exceed one-fifth of the capital, and the small capital could not exceed one-ninth of the capital. "
Hearing this, Zheng Zhuanggong shook his head helplessly, and then waved his hand and said"What can I do? This is Wu Jiang's mother's decision, how can I, as a son, go against my mother's wishes? "Li Zhong continued:"As the saying goes, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, when will Wu Jiang's wish be realized? I think it's better to arrange a place for him as soon as possible, so that greed and lust will not continue to spread and become more difficult to eliminate. It is very difficult to eradicate a single spreading weed, Your Majesty, let alone your favorite brother? "Zheng Zhuanggong pretended to be embarrassed and said"If we continue to act, we will bring about our own destruction, ignoring the ancestral system, failure is inevitable, let's wait and see if we can maintain peace for a while longer! "
Seeing that Zheng Zhuang Gong was so weak, Gong Shu Duan was even more excited, and on the one hand he ordered the people in the west and north to obey Zheng Zhuang Gong's orders, and on the other hand, he ordered them to obey Zheng Zhuang Gong's orders. Someone told Zheng Zhuanggong about this, but Zheng Zhuanggong didn't say anything, and silently accepted this fact. Lu Zhuanggong said to Zheng Zhuanggong:"King, how can there be two people in the country who call the shots? Power must belong to the great king. What are you going to do? Give us ministers a clear message: if you are ready to give up the throne to Duke Duan, we will serve him; If you are not ready to give it to Duan Gong, you must get rid of this rebellious minister and let the people not have other ideas! "Zheng Zhuanggong said:"No need, he'll reap the consequences! "Gong Zheng Zhuang wanted to continue to observe, but he didn't think what Uncle Duan would do next.
Seeing that his younger brother still didn't react, Zheng Zhuang Gong went one step further and decided to turn these two places that did not belong to him into his own fiefdoms, so that the fiefs would expand and his power would be strengthened. Lu Zhuanggong felt that he couldn't ignore it anymore, so he said to Zheng Zhuanggong:"King, you can do it now, if you let it develop, you will win the hearts of the people, and then it will be even more unfavorable to you! "Zheng Zhuanggong said:"Without justice, it is impossible to unite the people of the whole country, the stronger it is, the faster it will collapse, without justice, what is there to worry about? "Uncle Duan's words and deeds are under the control of Zheng Zhuanggong. Do you think that Zheng Zhuang Gong himself will not be able to obtain information that all Zheng Zhuang Gong's ministers can get? All he knew was more, and the reason why he kept it hidden was that he was waiting for the right moment.
Gongshu Duan no longer hid, but organized his subordinates to start building the city, supplying, replenishing equipment, replenishing infantry and chariots, and preparing to attack the capital Zheng Guo. Wu Jiang was willing to do internal response, cooperate with Uncle Duan, open the gate of the capital, and let Uncle Duan enter the city. After Zheng Zhuang Gong learned the exact date of Gongshu Duan's siege, he said:"It's time to act! "He ordered his son Feng to attack the capital with 200 chariots and strike first. The people of the capital have long been dissatisfied with Uncle Duan, because as soon as this master comes, their lives will be even more difficult, either repair the city, or pay more taxes, do you say the people can support him? How could they support him? The people's hearts are gone, how can he not defeat them? Duangong's army was on the verge of collapse. This time, Zheng Zhuanggong had no intention of letting him go, and chased after Uncle Duan. Uncle Duan finally fled to the Republic of China and temporarily escaped his brother's pursuit!
Zheng Zhuanggong didn't want his mother Wu Jiang to be infamous for killing his mother, so he expelled her from the house and publicly declared that he would never see his mother again until he arrived in Huangquan. However, Zheng Zhuanggong eventually changed his mind under the persuasion of his ministers, knowing that only by accepting his mother could he be considered truly enlightened, otherwise the world would not recognize him as the overlord of the Spring and Autumn period. However, Zheng Zhuanggong's contempt for Prince Zhou, the co-ruler of the world, also laid a curse for himself. The contradiction between him and Prince Zhou not only damaged Prince Zhou's reputation, but also exposed his ambition in front of the eyes of the world. His ambition was no longer disguised or disguised, and he showed an ugly, acerbic face.
The history of mankind, the history of the family.
