The chaos began at the end of Qingping. The Huayuan family, led by pinggong of Song Dynasty, has become the largest powerful official family in Song Dynasty. After the chaos of Sima Tangshan and Yushi in pinggong period of Song Dynasty, the monarch of Song Dynasty was completely checked and balanced by the family of powerful officials. In Song pinggong's later years, Xiang Xu, a senior official, seized the opportunity of the times. After planning, he successfully held a meeting of the warlords led by Jin and Chu in the capital of Song state. The brief peace of the Central Plains came. What the warlords gave in was to admit that Jin and Chu were the common overlord. This period was also a headache for the Central Plains. When there was only one overlord, they had to deal with one Overlord. After this meeting, the princes needed to consult Jin and Chu for any major decisions. As the middle zone of Jin and Chu's hegemony, the state of song not only enjoyed the media role of bilateral diplomacy, but also maintained the stability of the state of song to some extent.
With the help of this meeting, Xiang Xu, a senior official, obviously controlled part of the power in the state of song within a few years, and became an important family among the courtiers in the state of song. He even shared the power of the court with the Fahrenheit family. Hua Xiang, Hua Ding, Hua Hai and Xiang Ning were all the ministers of the state of song. After the death of Song Ping Gong, Song Yuan Gong succeeded to the throne, and the two families monopolized the military and political power in Song state. In song, yuan and A.D., the state of Chu attacked the state of CAI, and it was Hua Hai who sent reinforcements to save the state of CAI. Later, Huading was the diplomatic envoy of the marriage between song and Lu. Xiang Xu obviously took off his family and married his daughter to the monarch of the state of Fei in the policy of eliminating the army. That is to say, even if he could not stay in the state of song, he could have a good time in the state of Fei. However, we should know that most of the small countries in the spring and autumn and Warring States period lived in the middle of the big countries. A few years later, the army of the state of Fei invaded the state of Fei, and Xiang Xu asked the Duke of song and yuan for help. The Duke of song and Yuan was obviously very kind to Xiang Jia. He immediately sent soldiers to attack the state of Fei, and successfully persuaded the state of Fei.
The Duke of the song and Yuan Dynasties, of course, realized that this kind of powerful officials filled the court, and gradually presented the threat of overhead princes, so he later rejected Fahrenheit and Xiang, and even began to support other courtiers in the court, with the purpose of dividing the power of powerful officials and strengthening the monarchical power. This idea from the heart of the monarch, it is difficult to escape the prediction of the power ministers. In the 10th year of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties, Hua Hai lured all the princes of the song state into their homes and detained them. Where these respectable princes could bear such insults, they would naturally curse in prison, which made Hua Hai angry and killed all the seven princes. What's more, he imprisoned Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xing, the followers of the princes, in the barn. What can be seen here is that the Fahrenheit family and the Xiang family are not monolithic, and there are also differences of opinion between the two families because of their political position.
Such a big event happened in Song Dynasty, and the sons of the Gong nationality died. Naturally, the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties could not stand by and went to the house of Huahai to seek affection. The negotiations between the two sides may not be thorough, but only to reach peace between the two sides, and finally to end the meeting with the concession of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties. Luan, the prince of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasty, and his brother, Chen and Gongzi, came to the house of Hua Hai to become hostages. The son of Hua Hai, Xiang Ning's son Xiang Luo and Huading's son Hua Qi, became the hostage of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties. The exchange of hostages between the princes and the courtiers may be unique to the Song Dynasty, and only this is the case in the spring and autumn and Warring States. The civil unrest of the sons of the Gong nationality in Song Dynasty is no longer a mere bud, but a bigger accident is about to occur.
"Zuozhuan": "the song and Yuan dynasties have no faith and more private. "I didn't know what the Duke thought about it. When he knew that there was a gap between Huashi and Xiang family, we should make good use of this relationship, but they detained the sons of both the power ministers in the palace. It was obviously very unfavorable for him, but the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasty probably didn't realize the problem at all. After the decision of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties, the Fahrenheit outside and Xiang Shi formed a pure alliance. Most of the loyal officials around the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties were not allowed to be insulted. They conspired with the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties to kill all the hostages, and then attacked Huashi and Xiang Shi with the army. Obviously, the two families had not expected song and Yuan Gong's actions to come so quickly, and they could only escape from abroad. Song and Yuan Gong belong to those who don't die without the heart of the Yellow River, which can be said to be indecisive. The behavior of the two families has violated the criminal law, even if Zhulian nine ethnic groups can. But song and Yuan Gong did not kill both people, and those who did not flee from abroad were treated well to their sons. Song Dynasty is about to become a battlefield, who can block.
Some of the Fahrenheit family came to Wu and some to Chu state, and many forces formed revenge circle around the Song Dynasty. The army of Huadeng first returned to the Song Dynasty and won successive victories. The Song Dynasty just found the army at the border of Qi and Song Dynasties to rescue. However, the war was not smooth. Song and yuan even wanted to escape for several times. Fortunately, Cao state of Jin and other countries also came to rescue the song state. The troops led by Huadeng were besieged by the Allied forces. Huadeng went to Chu for help. At that time, Chu was in turmoil. Wu Zixu just came to the state of song with his prince. When he saw the chaos of the Song Dynasty, he also understood that the state of song could not wait for a long time and then transferred to Zheng State.
And the trip of Huadeng to Chu state obviously stimulated Chu state. The chaos in Central Plains did not have the opportunity of Chu state, which obviously did not conform to its dominant position. So Chu sent envoys to the state of Song Dynasty, and pressed the song state to form a reconciliation with the Xiang family of Huashi. The joint army of the princes and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were still under the restriction of the policy of eliminating the army. Moreover, as the overlord, Chu had the absolute voting power. The internal chaos of the Song Dynasty was now subsided, while Fahrenheit He Xiang family could not continue to stay in Song Dynasty, and he went to Chu state in exile.
