The Jin Hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period

Although historical records and Mandarin Chinese portray Li Ji as a typical bad woman, the root of Shen Sheng's tragedy actually lies in Xian Gong himself. The two things Xian Gong did made civil strife in Jin inevitable from the beginning. First, Duke Xian made Li Ji his wife. According to Zuo Zhuan, Xian Gong's legitimate wife was a princess of Jia State, but she had no children, so Li Shen was born as the prince. I agree with Zuo Zhuan's age statement here. I think Chong'er may be younger than Shen Sheng and ran away at the age of 17. Of course, no matter what, Shen Sheng and Chong'er are not legitimate sons, and now Li Ji has become his legitimate wife, which is very bad. Xi Qi is the legitimate son, and his inheritance rights are legally prioritized over Shen Sheng's, and the crown prince's position has been taken. It can be said to be a natural contradiction, even if Li Ji Ji doesn't move. After Shen Sheng succeeds to the throne, Xi Qi's position will be very embarrassing, and his life may not be saved. After all, Qu Wo Daiyi has learned a lesson from the past, and Zheng Zhuanggong's Ke Duan is a perfect example. Even if Li Ji considers her son's life, she has to kill Shen Sheng. The second is that Xian Gong enfeoffed his three sons. This was to fill the power vacancy after the massacre of the Huanzhuang clan, and the second was to make room for Xi Qi. But obviously, this was purely recreating the history of Quwo Daiyi. As Li Ji, seeing that her political opponents held heavy troops, There is also a solid base and even two powerful allies. This is already a much worse situation than Quwo Daiyi. Killing the Third Young Master while Xiangong is alive is almost the only way to survive. Even if Xi Qi successfully succeeds to the throne, civil war is inevitable, and most of them will be a fragile defeat. Even if Shen Sheng successfully succeeds to the throne, he will probably have to fight a civil war with Chong'er and Yiwu. Xian Gong's plan can be said to have planted a time bomb for the Jin Kingdom. Dong Xian of Jin was quite astute in politics. After massacring the Huanzhuang clan, it was a helpless move to use the Qing clan with a different surname and his biological son to fill the gap. Due to the limitations of the times, it was difficult for him to find a better way. As for why Li Ji was appointed as his wife, there is no historical data and we don't know, but there must be political considerations behind it. The story of Shen Sheng's murder in the history books is too legendary, and must be a lot of fiction. Judging from the characters of historical figures, although Li Ji fanned the flames, the murder of his son was probably something that Duke Xian had already thought about, and the suspicion between father and son and the game behind the scenes were indispensable. Just seeing how powerful the princeling party Shin Sang is, he is by no means the mellow gentleman he appears to be in the history books.

I started listening to "A Story of Spring and Autumn" some time ago and heard that Duke Xiang of Jin killed Prince Shen Sheng. Shen Sheng actually gave his life to prevent his father from being embarrassed. However, Duke Xiang of Jin thought that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. He was very unworthy of Shen Sheng. I was very interested in reading this book today. I will definitely follow this book. Come on (ง •̀_•́)ง!

Juizhu was too eager to move forward. In order to get rid of the influence of the overlord Qi State and deal with Shen Sheng, he did not expect that he had annexed so many feudal states and forces in a short period of time (in the 26th year of Jin Xiangong's reign, "17 states were merged and 38 were conquered"). This was the time to dig in and digest, but he wanted to pick a fight. To tease the sensitive line of the patriarchal system, what is even more outrageous is that Li Ji was a hostage of the destroyed enemy country, and she was directly made his wife. Think about it, if the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo and the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, they directly made their princess a queen without assimilation and made their child a prince. Who in the country would be happy? He offended the overlord (Qi) and the neighboring power (Qin) and provoked foreign aggression (which was completely avoidable). He was unable to unite people internally. He was far behind what he was when he was young, and the consequences were also very bad. It is not without reason that the most widely circulated stories in later generations are not his achievements but his operational errors.

Don't leave the protagonist to do business. The protagonist should return to his country as soon as possible to fight for world domination, otherwise it won't look good and readers will think it's just a waste.

There's a lot of explanation, everyone is just watching the plot~

Get rid of the three that are promoted, otherwise it will be in vain

The pacing is almost interesting. Because I don't know much about this dynasty, the sense of involvement is not good. The author has stuffed a lot of irrelevant things in front of it.

Here you go, support the author in opening a new book ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧

The writing was really good in the early stage, but later it became a bit toxic when I went to Chengzhou to fake it, and then I came out to watch TJ. .

No more than 16 days. This book will get cold.
