What is the historical story behind the idiom "celebrating my father's death, but not Lu's death"?

"Qingfu does not die, Lu has not been" you may have heard, literally means that this guy named Qingfu does not die, Lu's disaster will not stop. So who is this guy? Why does he create disaster to Lu like a demon? This involves a human tragedy of adultery between uncle and sister-in-law.

Let's take a look at Qingfu's life experience first. He is the half brother of Lu zhuanggong, the king of the state of Lu. Zhuang Gong has three younger brothers, Qingfu is the biggest, and the other two are Shuya and Jiyou. Zhuang Gong married AI Jiang, the daughter of the king of Qi (it is recorded that her father is Qi Fu Gong, but later generations should be Qi Xiang Gong or Qi Huan Gong). When AI Jiang married, he took a younger sister as a dowry. Later Aijiang was made queen, but she never had a child. Her sister gave birth to a son, called childe Qi. Zhuang Gong also had two sons. They were Gongzi ban and Gongzi Shen, both of whom were born of common people. Of the three sons, Zhuang Gong's favorite is childlike.

When Zhuang Gong was still alive, Qing's father secretly had an affair with AI Jiang, and Qing's father was tyrannical and cruel. Zhuang Gong was dissatisfied with him all the time. Later, Duke Zhuang was seriously ill and knew that time was running out, so he had to plan for his son. Because he was not happy with his father, and he was afraid that his father would act recklessly after his death, he went to the other two younger brothers to discuss the future affairs. Uncle Ya was the first one to look for. Who knows that uncle Ya has been in collusion with Qingfu for a long time. At this time, he strongly recommended Qingfu to succeed to the throne of the state of Lu. It must be that Duke Zhuang was very ill at that time, otherwise he would have slapped his younger brother in the face. After driving away his uncle's teeth, Duke Zhuang went to find his fourth younger brother Ji you. Ji you was more realistic and understood his elder brother's meaning, so he patted his chest to ensure that he would help him succeed as a young master. Hearing his younger brother say so, Zhuang Gong put down his heart and died peacefully.

Because Qingfu is powerful and cunning, Ji you doesn't want to attack him directly, so he designs to poison his followers to isolate Qingfu, and announces the emperor's edict to ascend the throne like a childe. As soon as Qingfu saw that the spearhead was pointing at him, how could he wait to die. He bought a Mangfu who raised a horse and killed him during the funeral. Ji you saw that the goods were too cruel and fled to the state of Chen for refuge. Qingfu must have wanted to be king himself, but the state of Qi wanted to support the son Qi, who was born to AI Jiang's younger sister, because the child was bleeding from the people of Qi after all. AI Jiang is fond of her adulterer lover, but childe Qi is also her nephew. Qingfu wants to make childe Qi a cover, and she readily agrees. So Prince Qi inherited the throne, which was Duke Lu min.

How can a puppet take charge of state affairs? State affairs are not controlled by Qing Fu. Duke Huan of Qi sent people to the state of Lu to learn about the situation. The report he got was that if Qingfu was not removed, the disaster of the state of Lu would not end. Sure enough, just over a year later, he thought that a monarch was in the way, and eventually he couldn't live with AI Jiang. In addition, he had the heart of usurping the throne, so Qingfu killed Lu Min Gong. AI Jiang, an obscene woman, just wanted to be nice to Qingfu, so that she could not care about the country and the country. At the beginning, he vowed to protect Ji you like a childe. At this time, he took childe Shen to flee to other countries for refuge, which saved some blood for Duke Zhuang.

However, Qingfu was too reckless. He didn't consider the resentment of Lu people and the idea of overlord Qi. He is now killing the grandson of Duke Huan of Qi. How can the state of Qi give up? Seeing that Duke Huan of Qi is going to make trouble, and the people of Qi are going to revolt against him, Qingfu quickly fled to the state of Ju, and Aijiang also fled to the state of Ying. Anyway, the state of Ju and the state of Ying are adjacent. It's convenient for them to have an intimate relationship, and the public opinion is not so strong.

Seeing Qingfu's departure and the domestic vacuum, Ji you takes his son Shen back to China and supports him to the top, that is, Duke Lu. Ji you sent someone to bribe the monarch of the state of Ju. The state of Ju is ready to extradite Qingfu to the state of Lu. Qingfu sent someone to ask for help from Ji you. He was refused and had to hang himself. And his AI Jiang was also regarded by Duke Huan of Qi as a disgrace to his family. He had no courage to disobey the important people of Ying State. AI Jiang died on his way home, saying that he hanged himself. After all, the adulterants killed themselves.
