Chapter 26 The Disaster of Employment Negligence

As mentioned earlier, in 544 BC, Ji Zha, the son of the state of Wu, was ordered to visit various countries in the Central Plains.During his stay in the state of Lu, Ji Zha had a conversation with Uncle Sun Bao. Ji Zha reminded him face to face that Shu Sun Bao was kind-hearted but not good at knowing people. What Ji Zha said was not alarmist, but pointed.Things have to start from the time of Lu Chenggong in 577 BC. That year, Shusun Qiaoru, the patriarch of the Shusun family, attempted to use Mu Jiang's power to destroy the Jisun and Mengsun families and monopolize the power of the Lu state because of an affair with Lu Chenggong's mother, Mu Jiang. Sun Qiaoru's family fled to Qi State.Later, Duke Cheng of Lu sent someone to bring back Shusun Qiaoru's younger brother, Shusunbao, from Qi State, and inherited his family business.

Lu Chenggong opened his eyes to his uncle Sun's family, on the one hand to show his benevolence, and on the other hand to maintain the balance of power among the "three Huan".The reason for choosing Shusun Bao is because he is sincere, devoted to his duty, and enjoys a good reputation in Lu State. However, during the exile of this sincere gentleman in Qi, a romantic incident happened. "Zuo Zhuan" records that Shusun Bao was separated from Shusun Qiaoru's large army on the way to escape, and came to Gengzong (place name) on the border of Qilu alone. He was tired and hungry, and was afraid of being discovered, so he had to hide in the field Hope for a miracle.

A peasant woman in the Gengzong area happened to pass by with a hoe on her shoulders and saw Shusunbao lying dying by a small river ditch.After eating and drinking enough, Shusunbao took the water from the small river ditch to wash his face clean, and the aristocratic temperament returned to him.That peasant woman has dealt with the soil all her life, and her neighbors are just some mountain peasants. Where has she seen such a romantic and unrestrained man?Unable to control it, he took the initiative to throw himself into his arms and dedicated himself to Uncle Sun Bao.As the saying goes, a man chases a woman across a thousand mountains; a woman chases a man across a sheet of paper.Although the peasant woman didn't look very good, she had a lot of wildness. In addition, Uncle Sunbao had fled for many days and his physical needs were inflated. The two hit it off and got things done right away.

Of course, those with good deeds in later generations thought that it was unimaginable for women to be so casual in Lu State, a state of etiquette.So a fake "Confucius's Family Talk" reprinted this incident, secretly changing the "woman" in "Zuo Zhuan" to "widow".This makes sense, widows, if you are idle, you are idle, and if you don't do it for nothing, it is not considered immoral. After the work was done, the peasant woman was very satisfied.Lying in Uncle Sun Bao's arms, she said not shyly, "I don't know your name yet!" "Leopard."

"What a majestic name!" said the peasant woman. "Where do you come from, and where are you going?" "This..." Shusun Bao hesitated for a moment. "If you don't dislike it, just stay here!" There was a look of eagerness in the eyes of the peasant woman. Uncle Sun Bao looked around.It was dusk in late summer, and the field was peaceful, with a few farmhouses in the distance, and the smoke was rising. "Why don't I want to stay here, but if I stay, I will bring you a lot of trouble." Shusun Bao sighed. "why?" "Because... I am a descendant of Uncle Sun."

The peasant woman had a look of surprise on her face.Shusun Bao didn't need to say much, she understood everything.A few days ago, the village head called the whole village together and read out the official office's order - Shusun's family is connected to foreign countries and conspiring to rebel. It is reported that his family is fleeing to Qi State. Immediately report to the local government and assist in arresting and bringing to justice. "Hurry up, it's really not safe here." The peasant woman pushed Shusunbao away, but her tears couldn't stop streaming down. She pointed to the direction of the small river, "Go straight down this river, turn over The mountain in front is not far away from the border. Hurry up, if someone finds out, they will definitely arrest you and show you to the officials.”

Shu Sunbao bowed to the peasant woman and said solemnly: "Thank you." Then he stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked towards the direction the peasant woman pointed without looking back. Seeing his back gradually going away, the peasant woman finally couldn't help it, and burst into tears with a "wow". When Uncle Sunbao arrived in Qi State, Duke Ling of Qi saw that he was alone, so he betrothed to him the daughter of the Guo clan, and they gave birth to two sons, Meng Bing and Zhong Ren.However, Shu Sunbao didn't seem to be happy in Qi State, at least not as happy as his elder brother Shu Sun Qiaoru. He even wanted to establish the overseas Chinese as a Qing, and sit on an equal footing with Guo and Gao Ershi.

The changes in the family made Shusunbao very worried, and Qiaoru's absurd behavior made him even more embarrassed.One night, he actually dreamed that the sky was falling on him, and he was about to be unable to withstand it. When he turned around, he saw a person with a very strange appearance.Dark skin, forward shoulders, deep-set eyes, and a pig's mouth.He didn't care much, and shouted: "Niu, come and help me!" The man heard this, stepped forward quickly, held the sky with his shoulders, and pushed it upwards with all his strength, pushing the sky back again! When he woke up early the next morning, he gathered all his retainers, from the elder to the cook, and identified them one by one, but he didn't find anyone who looked like the "cow" in the dream.He had no choice but to call a painter, and according to his own description, he painted the appearance of the "cow" on the cloth and kept it.

Later, Duke Cheng of Lu sent people to the state of Qi to summon his uncle Sun Bao to return home. For Shusun Bao, this is also expected.As early as the beginning of coming to Qi State, the two brothers had a conversation. Uncle Sun Qiaoru said: "The Marquis of Lu is concerned about the merits of our ancestors, and he will definitely keep the incense of Uncle Sun. But I have committed a heinous crime, and I will definitely not go back. .If one day they send someone to call you back, are you willing to shoulder the burden of the family?" "That's exactly what I want." Shusun Bao replied.He didn't have the slightest sympathy for Qiaoru who brought disaster to the family, but he still respected him according to the etiquette of a brother.When Duke Cheng of Lu announced his call to return to the country, he didn't even bid farewell to Qiaoru, but hurried back to the country of Lu.

Several years passed after that.One day, a strange and unexpected visitor came to Shu Sunbao's house.Judging from her attire, she was of the so-called "savage" class, holding a pheasant in her hand, which she said was dedicated to Uncle Sun Bao. A woman, who is neither aristocratic nor Chinese, dares to ask to meet her uncle Sun!The guards guarding the gate naturally wouldn't let her in.During the dispute, a retainer hurried out, repelled the guards, and welcomed the woman into the mansion. Needless to say, this woman was the peasant woman that Shu Sunbao met in the field of Gengzong.The two reunited after a long absence, and time has passed. There are no historical records of what kind words they said and what happy things they did. "Zuo Zhuan" just dryly wrote:

Shu Sunbao asked about her son's situation, and she said, "My son has grown up and can follow me to Qufu holding a pheasant." How did Shusunbao know that the love affair bore fruit?It turned out that Zhou Li had clearly stipulated that the "scholar" class should hold a pheasant as a gift when meeting nobles or participating in important political activities (scholar holding a pheasant).Shu Sunbao is a sensible person. When he saw the woman bringing the pheasant and mentioning her son, he knew what was going on. At that time, Doctor Qing had an illegitimate son from a wild marriage, which was not a shameful thing, not to mention the scene of Geng Zong in the field left very warm memories for Shu Sunbao.He immediately said to the woman, "Call your son, I want to see him!" The next day, the woman brought her son to Shusun Bao's house again.When Shusunbao saw the child, he couldn't help being surprised, and immediately ordered someone to bring the "cow" canvas, and compared it, it was not the same person!Surprised and delighted, he lamented that this was really an arrangement of fate, and called out affectionately: "Niu, you are a cow!" The kid was only seven or eight years old, and he didn't have stage fright at all. When he heard Shusun Bao call him that, he immediately knelt down and said, "Wei." Then he stood up again. "Wei" means "is".The ancients did not say "yes", but generally said "nuo".However, it is more respectful for a son to answer his father than "nuo", so he uses "wei", which is the so-called "the father calls without promises, but rises only".The child's answer made Shusun Bao even more happy. He called all his retainers over and said, "Look, this is the cow that saved me in a dream!" vertical". Shu was a small minister in the family of Doctor Qing at that time, and was served by an underage noble man.Since then, this child has been called "Shu Niu" by everyone.Shusunbao loves Shuniu very much and takes it with him every day.After Shu Niu grew up, he was entrusted with the important task of managing the housekeeping. In contrast, Meng Bing and Zhong Ren, the two legitimate sons of Shu Sun Bao's regular wife Guo Shi, were alienated instead. When Uncle Sunbao was in Qi State, he knew Gongsun Ming, the doctor of Qi State, and they were as close as brothers.After Shu Sunbao returned to the country, he did not welcome the Guo clan back in time.Gongsun Ming naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of his friend's wife. After coming and going, he took care of her in bed.Because of this incident, Uncle Sunbao turned his anger on the two sons-in-law, and did not send someone to take them back to the State of Lu until Meng Bing grew up. It is an indisputable fact that Meng Bing is the eldest son of his uncle's family.This has caused the contradiction of "not rectifying the name".In feudal society, the mother is the most precious, and the bull is favored, but his mother's status is humble, even if Uncle Sun Bao intends to make him his heir, he will never be recognized by the society; Meng Bing is out of favor, but his mother is the daughter of the Guo family, and her status is noble , it is logical that the family business of the uncle and grandson should be inherited.In fact, Shusun Bao didn't have any intention of letting Shu Niu replace Meng Bing.In the summer of 538 BC, he also ordered someone to cast a giant bell (Meng Zhong) specially for Meng Bing, saying: "You haven't formally entered the social circle, I would like to use this bell's inauguration ceremony to entertain all the doctors, so that you can formally enter the social circle. As the eldest son of the uncle and grandson's family, entertain the guests." Shu Sunbao didn't notice that when Shu Niu heard this sentence, a glint of prey flashed in his eyes. What Ji Zha said about "employing people poorly" refers to the fact that Shu Sunbao appointed Shu Niu to manage the housekeeping.According to common sense, this important task should be handed over to the eldest son. In the winter of 538 B.C., Shusun Bao accompanied Lu Zhaogong to hunt in Qiuqiu. He caught wind and cold and was bedridden ever since. While Shusun Bao was bedridden, Shu Niu was the head of the family.This child born in the village of Geng Zong was extremely alert since he was a child, and he has been in charge of housekeeping for a long time.He knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and the time would never come again, so he called Meng Bing, and blatantly proposed: From now on, you must obey my leadership, even if you inherit the family business in the future, you must obey my orders, And now it is time to pledge allegiance! No one would accept such an arrangement.Meng Bing disagreed, but he couldn't tell Shusun Bao about it.Firstly, Shusunbao's residence is surrounded by people from Shuniu, and no one can enter without Shuniu's consent; secondly, even if Shusunbao knows this, he may not necessarily believe it. It's really reached the point where it can't be added, the needle can't be inserted, and the water can't be poured in. At this time, Meng Zhong was cast, and the inauguration ceremony was put on the agenda.Meng Bing thought, taking this opportunity to meet his father might turn the situation around.With such thoughts in mind, he came to Uncle Sun Bao's apartment, unexpectedly, Shu Niu was already waiting there. "Father has an order. Except for me, no one can enter without his order. If you have anything to do, just tell me, and I can convey it for you." Shu Niuyin said with a smile. "I have something important to do and I must meet my father," Meng Bing said. "Impossible." Shu Niu made a contemptuous gesture, as if he was demonstrating to Meng Bing—brother, you can't get around me. "Then," Meng Bing hesitated for a moment, "please tell father that Meng Zhong has finished casting, and the inauguration ceremony will be held, please invite him to come and fix an auspicious day." "This is a good thing!" Shu Niu showed a friendly smile that made Meng Bing uneasy, "I will report it for you right away." Shu Niu walked into Shu Sun Bao's house, and the old man was sleeping.Shu Niu didn't bother him, stayed inside for a while, then came out again, and said to Meng Bing, "Father is very happy, saying that the date has been set." On the appointed morning, Shusun Bao was surprised when he heard the bell ringing in his sleep, and called Shu Niu in to ask what was going on. "This..." Shu Niu pretended to be hesitant to talk. "Say!" "That's my younger brother holding Meng Zhong's inauguration ceremony." "What?" Shusun Bao was furious, "If you hold a ceremony without my consent, does he still have me as a father in his eyes?" "I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. You also know that although I am in charge of housekeeping, he is the eldest son of the family, so I don't want to ask too much about some things. And..." "And what?" "When I came, I saw that among the distinguished guests he invited were guests from the northern women's side." Shu Niu said tremblingly.The so-called northern woman refers to Uncle Sun Bao's original wife Guoshi, and the guest refers to Gongsun Ming.Meng Bing and Zhong Ren grew up in Qi State since childhood, and Gongsun Ming can be said to be their stepfather. Shusun Bao sat up when he heard this, coughed and shouted loudly: "Come and change clothes with me, I'm going to have a look!" "Don't, don't!" Shu Niu hurriedly held him down, "Don't be angry, the most important thing now is to take care of your body. Besides, if you go out like this now, don't you let others see our family as a joke!" Shu Sunbao lay down slumped, stunned for a long time, and then squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You kill him!" "Ah, who?" "The rebellious son who recognized a thief as his father." "Yes." The joy flashed across Shu Niu's face.That night, he led a group of warriors into Meng Bing's room, took him to a deserted place and killed him. Strangely, Meng Bing's younger brother Zhong Ren didn't seem to be alert when such a thing happened.Shu Niu came to him again and asked him to pledge his loyalty, but he refused of course—just a refusal, without further action.And one day not long after, Zhong Ren was still in the mood to go out to play with Lu Zhaogong's coachman Lai Shu in the palace, and accepted a jade ring bestowed by Lu Zhaogong. Later generations can only speculate that Zhongren was still young and not deeply involved in the world.After getting this jade ring, his first thought was to show it to his father.This is a typical child's character.Undoubtedly, Zhong Ren was also blocked from Shu Sun Bao's residence by Shu Niu.And that piece of jade ring was handed over to Shu Niu, and he passed it on to Shu Sun Bao. After a while, Shu Niu came out, smiled and said to Zhong Ren, "Father is very happy, and wants you to wear this jade ring from now on to show the favor of the monarch." He personally hung the jade ring on Zhong Ren's belt on the hook. Shu Sunbao's condition is getting worse day by day. One day, Shu Niu was waiting by his side, and suddenly said: "There is a saying, my son doesn't know whether to say it or not." "Go ahead." "Meng Bing is dead, and you, father, are seriously ill. Now let Zhongren go to the palace to meet the monarch, and ask the monarch to come forward to establish his position. How about?" "It's not necessary now." Shusun Bao said. "That being said..." Shu Niu hesitated, "But he has already seen it himself, and the monarch even rewarded him with a jade ring, which he wears all day long to show off." "What? This kid, I'm not dead yet, so he's impatient!" Shu Sunbao was anxious and angry, "He's just like his brother, and I'm afraid he still has his stepfather in the state of Qi in his heart! Since that's the case, I Just fulfill him and drive him back to Qi." "Yes." Shu Niu said quickly, "Son, I'll do it now." Before Shu Sunbao could react, Shu Niu had already turned around and walked out, giving the order.Only Shu Sunbao was left lying on the bed in a daze, chewing on what had happened during this period of time, only to feel something was wrong. The two sons-in-law both turned their arms outward, one died and the other was expelled. Isn't the biggest beneficiary the vertical cow with sunken eyes and pig nose? He couldn't help but think of the dream he had in Qi State again: Heaven suppressed him and was pushed back by Shu Niu. Doesn't it mean that God hates him, so he sent Shu Niu to his side? Thinking of this level, Shu Sunbao couldn't help but fight a cold war.In the next few days, his condition worsened significantly.He wanted to see other retainers, but every time he entered his room, besides Shu Niu, it was Shu Niu's cronies.Holding the last sliver of fantasy, he gave an order to Shu Niu: "Call Zhong Ren back, I want to see him." Shu Niu smiled and said: "No problem." When he walked out the door, he ordered the guards: "Strengthen the defense and don't leak any news." Seeing that Uncle Sunbao was about to die, one day finally, Du Xie, the elder of the Shusun family (the head of the retainers), was allowed to visit Uncle Sunbao.As soon as he entered the door, Du Xie was terrified by the sight in front of him.Shu Sunbao had disheveled hair and a disheveled beard, and was staring straight at the ceiling with wide-eyed eyes. "My lord!" Du Xie couldn't help rushing over, holding Shu Sun Bao's skinny hands. Shusun Bao squinted at him for a long time before saying two words with difficulty: "Thirsty...hungry..." "Is this how Shu Niu treats you?" Du Xie burst into tears looking at this once powerful figure. Shusun Bao shook his head, meaning don't say anything, and looked at the row of long spears displayed in the room with his eyes.Du Xie froze for a moment: "What do you mean?" "Kill him for me." Shu Sunbao paused every word. Du Xie smiled bitterly: "You wanted him back back then, why do you want me to kill him now? Don't you think I can do anything to him when things have come to this point?" Just as he was talking, Shu Niu came in with a few guards, and said impatiently: "Father is very sick, and I don't want to see anyone, you can go out." Without any explanation, he drove Du Xie out. For the next few days, Shu Niu personally guarded the door of Shu Sun Bao's bedroom.When others brought food to Shu Sunbao, he took it and went to the side room to pour it out, and then sent the tableware out for people to take away.On December 28, Shusun Bao died of hunger and thirst. After all, Shu Niu didn't dare to stand on his own, but made Shu Sun Bao's bastard son Ruo the patriarch of the Shu Sun Clan and put him under his control. The vertical cow succeeded.Although the seed sown in the field of Gengzong was raised outside the vortex of power, he threw himself into the power struggle without hesitation, and was well versed in conspiracy and tricks. He used all means to overcome obstacles one after another, and finally stood To the highest peak of power possible for him. But he can't relax, and he will further consolidate his position next.For this reason, the nail of Du Xie must be pulled out, and the important position of family elder must be replaced by one of his own. At that time, Lu Zhaogong ordered Du Xie to preside over the funeral of Uncle Sun Bao.Shu Niu thought this was an opportunity, and sent a large sum of money to bribe Ji Sun's retainers Shu Zhong Dai and Nan Yi, asking them to help get rid of Du Xie. Shu Zhongdai was originally a thief of rats and dogs.According to "Zuo Zhuan", in 542 BC, Duke Xiang of Lu died, and Shu Zhongdai took advantage of the chaos to steal a piece of priceless jade from the palace.But Ji Sunsu didn't seem to care about this, and still reused his uncle's belt. After receiving the money from Shu Niu, Shu Zhong Dai and Nan Yi tried their best to speak well of Ji Sun Su in front of him, and at the same time tried their best to belittle Du Xie.Du Xie planned to use the chariot bestowed upon Shu Sunbao by Emperor Zhou to be buried with him. Nan Yi said to Ji Sunsu, "When Shu Sunbao was alive, he never rode on a chariot. Now that he is dead, how can he be buried in a chariot? Besides, you, Zhengqing, don’t have a road cart, but he, a deputy minister, is buried with a road cart, isn’t it a mess!” Ji Sunsu said, “Yes, why did he ride on me?” Send someone Send a message to Du Xie, asking him to give up using the road car to be buried with him. Du Xie said: "When the first king, Duke Xiang, was alive, my master was ordered to go to Luoyi to pay homage to the emperor. The emperor was grateful for his courtesy and the merits of his ancestors, so he made an exception and gave him a road car. He didn't dare to enjoy it. After returning home, Immediately hand over the car to the monarch. The monarch thinks that this is the kindness of the emperor and should not be violated, so he rewarded him again, and solemnly asked the three important officials to record this matter. You, as Situ, record your name; Sima, recorded the car uniform; Meng Sun, as Sikong, recorded the honor. Now that he is dead, you oppose his use of the road car. This is disloyal to the former emperor; the matter is recorded in the office archives, but you turn a blind eye. Where is the integrity of the three important ministers? If the king ordered the use of road carts, but he dared not use them while alive, and he could not be buried after death, it would be better not to reward him!" When Ji Sunsu heard this answer, he knew that he was wrong, and said that he would not ask about this matter any more.In fact, at this time, Ji Sunsu was still thinking about another important matter, which also made him unwilling to get too entangled in this matter. This big event is "She Zhongjun". Since the "three armies" of Lu State in 562 BC, each of the "Three Huans" has led an army, and the public office no longer directly controls the armed forces.But Ji Sunsu still felt that he was still unsatisfied. On the one hand, he wanted to further weaken the government, and on the other hand, he wanted to strengthen his own power. , dare not act rashly.Now that Shu Sunbao was dead, he felt that the time had come, so he put this matter on the agenda. What is "She Zhongjun"?It turned out that after the "three armies", the "three Huan" only held the military and political power in their own hands, and the public office still controlled a certain amount of land and taxes, and maintained economic independence.Ji Sunsu's "She Zhongjun" means disbanding the central army of the three armies, leaving only the left and right armies; at the same time, dividing the land of the public office into four parts, one for the Shusun family and one for the Mengsun family. The Jisun family chose the second, and each family only paid tribute to the government in a symbolic manner.In this case, the political, military, and economic power of the State of Lu will be completely transferred to the hands of the "Three Huans", and the Jisun family will dominate again and become the shareholder of the State of Lu. As soon as Ji Sunsu's plan was put forward, it was firmly supported by Shu Niu: "My father originally meant this, and Uncle Sun fully agrees with this opinion." The Ji family advocated it, the uncle Sun family supported it, and the Meng family naturally would not object.Thus, in the spring of 537 BC, the reform plan of "She Zhongjun" was put into practice.At this time, Shusun Bao hadn't been buried yet.Ji Sunsu seriously wrote a letter and sent it to Uncle Sun's mansion, asking Du Xie to read it before Uncle Sun Bao's spirit.The letter reads: "You have been thinking about abandoning the Chinese army, and now it has become a reality, so I am here to tell you." After Du Xie finished reading, he said angrily: "This is complete nonsense. His old man has never thought of such a thing. When he was in the army, he had different opinions. He was worried that the Ji family would use this to monopolize power, and he asked the three families to come first. Jun Xi made an oath in front of the temple to maintain this balance of power. Now that he has not been buried, the Ji family has destroyed the covenant and said that it is his old man's wish, it is too shameless!" Throwing the letter on the ground.All the retainers of the Uncle Sun family cried bitterly, but Shu Niu looked at all this coldly, thinking about how to deal with Du Xie next. After much deliberation, I still made a fuss about Uncle Sun Bao's funeral. Under Shu Niu's instigation, Shu Zhong Dai went out again and said to Ji Sun Su: "I once heard Shu Sun Bao say that those who cannot be buried well should go out from the west gate. It is said that he himself died of hunger and thirst. That should also be the funeral at Ximen." Ji Sunsu asked strangely, "Did he say that?" Uncle Zhongdai said, "I heard it with my own ears." Ji Sunsu said: "Then, send a message to Du Xie, and let him go to the west gate for the funeral." When the order was passed to Du Xie, Du Xie was taken aback: "For Qing's funeral, go out from the south gate, first go to the ancestral temple to worship and then move on. This is the etiquette of the State of Lu. You are in charge of state affairs, and you have not reformed the etiquette through legal procedures. I don’t dare to accept such strange orders casually.” He insisted on going out from the south gate for the funeral.After the funeral, Du Xie left without saying goodbye and fled to Chu State. After Du Xie left, Shu Niu breathed a sigh of relief.But wait a minute, another threat is coming soon—Zhong Ren, who was far away in Qi State, heard the news of Uncle Sun Bao's death, and regardless of the danger, he returned to Lu State to attend the funeral.Because Zhongren was the direct son of Shusunbao, Jisunsu wanted to make Zhongren the lord of the Shusun clan, replacing the Shusunruo established by Shuniu. This time it was Nan Yi's turn to play.He said to Ji Sunsu: "What is your plan? If the Uncle Sun family is strong, the Ji family will be weakened. The civil strife in his family is a good thing for you, so don't interfere." Ji Sunsu thought about it, that's right, why should I meddle in other people's business?So he gave up the idea of ​​Li Zhongren.Nanyi mobilized the people of the country to help Shuniu attack Zhongren, and shot him to death in Dating's yard. As a reward, Shu Niu donated to Nan Yi the 30 towns of Shusun's family in the east of Lu State.Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for a cub to sell his father's land. In order to fight for power and profit, it is not uncommon to sell the country's territory. Shu Niu is not the first, let alone the last. Now that Du Zuozhong has died, Shu Niu can rest assured to enjoy the fruits of his victory.He didn't expect that a bigger threat was quietly approaching.In March of this year, Shusun Ruo officially succeeded as the patriarch of the Shusun clan. The first thing he did after assuming the throne was to gather his retainers for a meeting. Pointing directly at the vertical bull who helped him to the stage.Shu Sunluo said at the meeting: "Shu Niu was originally an unknown bastard. My father sympathized with him and gave him a half-job and asked him to work in the mansion. He didn't know how to repay his kindness. Instead, he conspired against him and killed his wife and son. Concubine, and using the family land as a favor, trying to escape the crime - there is no greater crime than this, he must be executed immediately!" The concept of hierarchy in feudal society is serious, and it is indeed a great crime to kill a prostitute and establish a concubine.But it was a little surprising that these words came out of the mouth of Uncle Sun Ruo.If it hadn't been for Shu Niu to kill Meng Bing and Zhong Ren's two sons, would his bastard have a chance to become the master of the Uncle Sun family?Most people would avoid this sensitive topic, how could someone like Uncle Sun Ruo poke it out by himself? Confucius spoke highly of Shusunluo. He said: "Shusunrao went to attack Shu Niu without thanking him. This is something ordinary people can't do. People in power should be like him, not because of personal grievances. And reward and punish others." He also praised his uncle and grandson with lines like "If you feel virtuous, the four kingdoms will follow it". When Shu Niu got the news, he was terrified, packed his luggage and fled abroad.Maybe it was because he escaped too hastily, but he ran straight into the country of Qi.Think about it, Meng Bing and Zhong Ren are both grandsons of Qi people, isn't this a self-inflicted trap?Sure enough, as soon as he ran to Saiguan, the border city of Qi, he was beheaded by the people of Qi.Afterwards, the people of Qi State hung the head of the vertical bull on the thorns in Ningfeng (the place name of Qi State) to show the public. With dark skin, deep-set eyes, and a pig's mouth, that bloody human head may be thinking: If it wasn't for his appearance, he might not have such a tragic end!
