Why did Jin Xiangong kill Shen Sheng? How many sons did Jin Xiangong have in history?

The broadcast of Chong 'er Biography brought us into the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, which was Jin Xiangong's period. Because Shen Sheng committed suicide in the uprising against Li Ji, Zhong Er and Yiwu were forced into exile. According to historical records, when Shen Sheng was alive, Jin Xiangong sent someone to kill Shen Sheng, who was obviously his own son, but Shen Sheng was extremely virtuous. Why did Jin Xiangong do this?

Looking back at history, in fact, Shen Sheng, Zhong Er and Yiwu were not directly killed by Jin Xiangong, but Shen Sheng's death was indeed related to Jin Xiangong. According to historical records, after being born, he wanted to make his son a prince, so he fawned on him, provoked the relationship with him, and attempted to kill him. Before Shen Sheng committed suicide, he almost died at the hands of Bo Wei, who was sent by Jin Xiangong to kill Shen Sheng. When it comes to why Jin Xiangong has the idea of killing Shen Sheng, we should start with Li Ji.

It turned out that Li introduced the beauty. Li Ji herself is very beautiful. Not only that, she is also very clever. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the State of Jin, she had to get Jin Xiangong's favor, and soon she became Jin Xiangong's favorite woman under the flattery of Li Ji, and gave birth to a son. At that time, Jin Xiangong wanted to marry Li Ji, which was a very important thing for the State of Jin and must be predicted.

The kind that the minister in charge of divination needs to announce after the divination results come out. The diviner divines with tortoise shells, and divination with divination is another result. Jin Xiangong told the fortune teller to publish only good results. It can be seen that Jin Xiangong is willing to do anything to marry Li Ji.

Historically, Jin Xiangong had only three sons, but in fact, Jin Xiangong had five sons, and only Shen Sheng, Zhong Er and Yiwu were famous. In addition, Jin Xiangong has sons Xi Qi and Zhuo Zi. After Jin Xiangong's death, Xi, the son of Li Ji, succeeded to the throne, but he was soon killed, and Li Ji was dismissed because of Li Ji's rebellion, which can be said to be culpable of punishment.
