When Xiangong of Jin attacked Lirong, Lirong offered two beautiful women Liji and Shaoji to Xiangong for peace. These two women gave birth to their sons Xiqi and Zhuozi respectively. Liji was charming and treacherous, which was deeply favored by Xiangong. Under her conspiracy, the crown prince Shensheng hanged himself with the name of Patricide. From then on, Chong ER and his brother Yiwu (Duke Hui of Jin Dynasty) began to escape. By this time, Chong ER was forty-three years old.
When he was chased, Chong Er ran over the wall. When his life was in danger, his sleeves were cut off. After that, Chong Er fled to his mother's hometown di. Under the arrangement of Uncle Hu Yan, Chong'er settles down. Di Jun gives Chong'er a foreign beauty to be his wife. Zhao Xiu also gets one, and the two of them make a bond. Zhao Yusheng's son is the famous Zhao xuanzi, the grandfather of Zhao Wu, the orphan of the Zhao family. Zhao xuanzi served three dynasties all his life and maintained the hegemony of Jin Wengong.
Uncle Hu Yan and important minister Zhao Shuai are two very important men in Chong er's life. In the 19 years of Chong er's escape, they all followed around, shared weal and woe, and helped him out of danger many times. They were the meritorious officials who assisted the Duke Wen of Jin, and made indelible contributions to the hegemony of Jin.
Chonger lived happily in her grandmother's house, so that she forgot her true identity and her future mission.
In the state of Jin, there was a coup. When the Duke Xiangong of Jin was dying, he wanted to pass the throne to Xi Qi. He was rebelled by Rick and Pizheng. They killed Xi Qi and Zhuozi. If a new monarch is established, Chonger and Yiwu, who took refuge in the state of Liang, are the most suitable candidates.
Rick sent someone to find Chong'er first. Chong'er was afraid that it was treacherous. He politely declined and said he was not greedy for the throne for the time being. Yiwu was very happy to accept the invitation, also received the assistance of Qin Mugong, returned to the throne, known as Jin Huigong.
Yiwu became a new king, killed Rick and other former ministers, and reused his cronies. His brother also became the object of his fear and pursuit, so Chong'er began to flee again. This time, Chong'er prepared to go to the state of Qi, because Duke Huan of Qi was good at charity, determined to seek hegemony and was looking for talents.
Before leaving, Chong er said to his wife, "when I haven't come back for 25 years, you can get married." His wife said with a smile, "I'll be waiting for you all the time."
Because they left in a hurry, Chong'er and his party didn't take much money. When they passed by Wei state, Wei Wengong despised Chong'er and ignored them. They were so hungry that they begged for food from the local farmers. Some people even put the clods in bowls for them to eat. Chong ER was very angry, but Zhao Shuai said, "this is a good thing. The clod indicates that you will own this land in the future."
In order to keep Chonger alive, jiezitui cut a piece of meat from his thigh and cooked it with wild vegetables for Chonger to eat.
In the state of Qi, Duke Huan of Qi treated each other with courtesy and married his daughter to Chong'er. Chong Er stayed in the state of Qi for five years. After Duke Huan of Qi died, Chong Er missed his beautiful wife and didn't want to leave. He said, "I want to die in the state of Qi." His wife said, "you are the son of the state of Jin. You come here because you are in a state of depression. If things go on like this, do you deserve the sages who follow you? I despise you for being greedy for women and forgetting my responsibilities." His wife and Zhao Shuai conspire to carry Chonger drunk to the car and continue to drive. At this time, on the importance of women behind a successful man. They passed by the state of Cao. Instead of being polite, Cao Gonggong peeped at Chong'er's bath. Some people said that he was gay, but in fact he was not. It is said that Chong'er was born with a different face, and that he was very curious and wanted to see the truth with his own eyes. The price of this peek was too high. Cao Jun buried a curse for himself. Many years later, Cao Jun was captured, and the country almost perished.
When Cao Gonggong peeks at people's baths, he is seen by his doctor Fu Beiji. In order to apologize, he secretly gives Chonger delicious food and puts a piece of jade at the bottom of the plate to apologize for Cao Gonggong. Chong Er accepted the food and gave Bi Yu back to Fu. Later, when he attacked the state of Cao, Duke Wen of Jin ordered him to forgive his family members who had been detained and repay him for his kindness.
Song Xianggong also received Chonger with the courtesy of treating the princes. Zheng Wengong despised Chong'er and ignored him. Uncle Zhan advised him: "Chong'er must be a powerful master after him. Since you don't treat him with courtesy, you might as well kill him." Zheng Wengong didn't listen.
King Cheng of Chu treated Chong'er well, and Chong'er was also very modest. King Cheng of Chu asked, "if you return to the state of Jin, how can you repay me?" Chong er said, "in case of war in the future, I will give you a retreat." This is the allusion to retreat.
When Chong'er arrived in the state of Qin, the Duke of Qin Mu gave Chong'er five patriarchal women as wives. Among them, there was the wife of gong'er, who was Chong'er's niece and daughter-in-law. Chong'er was embarrassed to accept it. Qin Mu Gong said, "you still want to attack gong'er's country, let alone a woman."
Qin Mugong did so for a reason. It turns out that after Yiwu ascended the throne, he not only did not help the state of Qin, but also attacked the state of Qin. After his failure, he cut off his land and begged for mercy. He also asked his son to be a hostage in the state of Qin. In order to control him, Qin Mu Gong married his daughter huaiying to him. Unexpectedly, when the young man heard that his father was ill, he couldn't wait to leave his wife and run back to the state of Jin alone. After Yiwu died, he became the king of Jin. Qin Mu Gong's father and son were both white eyed wolves. Of course, they were very angry. He decided to help Chong Er become king of Jin.
In 636 BC, Chong'er was 62 years old. With the help of Qin, he returned to Jin after 19 years of exile, ruled the army of Jin, and became king.
Of course, after Chong Er became king, he also brought his wives to the state of Jin for a reunion. The bumpy tribulations and exile laid a solid foundation for Jin Wengong's hegemony for thousands of years, and also brought him many beauties.
