Jiang Ziya, the immortal who helped Zhou destroy Shang Dynasty, had several descendants in the end, but it was a tragedy.

Jiang Ziya, a God-like existence in the history of China, caught a glorious moment in his life by fishing in Weishui in his later years, which was later generations.

His descendants established the Qijiang Empire in the state of Qi, which once created the glorious hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period and became a great eastern country. However, in the history of its rise and fall, many kings who succeeded to the throne in Qi did not come to a good end. The cause of their death completely explains what is called political coldness, family coldness and darkness of human nature.

There was an event in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was called "mourning for the public and cooking for the week".

The hero who was boiled was Qi Aigong, the fifth monarch of the State of Qi. His merits were not evil. There is only "mourning for Zhou, Zhou quietly cooks his brother" in the history books. Judging from his death, he offended Hou Ji, was reported by Hou Ji, and was cruelly cooked by Zhou Yiwang.

Qi Aihong's death seems unjust, but is it that simple?

At that time, the Zhou royal family was in a declining stage, and the princes no longer paid tribute. In order to maintain the ruling authority of the Zhou Dynasty, it is necessary to find opportunities to beat disobedient princes, and Qi Aigong is a country with poor performance among princes, and Qi still has some influence among princes, so the drama of "killing chickens to show monkeys" was staged.

Qi Aigong became the victim of this political performance. Similarly, Ji Guo is also a victim. This is just a political tool used by Zhou Yiwang. This time, it forged a feud with Qi.

After Qi Xianggong, the 14th monarch of Qi, ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to avenge the "revenge of the ninth" of Qi's national annihilation.

But Qi Xianggong's fate is not much better than that of his ancestors. Finally, he died at the ignorant hands of his cousin Gongsun.

Qi Xianggong in the history books has a bad personality. Sima Qian once commented in Historical Records that "Xiang Gong was drunk and killed Lu Huangong, and through his wife, he killed him unjustly, raped women and bullied ministers". He was a lecherous and fatuous king. However, during his reign, the problems in his life did not affect Qi's political situation and national development, but his personality defects caused a great disaster in his life.

The cause of this incident was treachery in his personnel arrangement.

At that time, he sent a minister to send his father to Kwai Qiu, agreeing to go in the mature season and send someone to replace him next year. As a result, at that time, Qi Xianggong didn't send someone to replace him. He even said that Guan asked his father to send someone to replace him, but Qi Xianggong didn't agree.

Qi Xianggong's treachery made William and Guan Yu's father very angry, so he planned a rebellion.

But my cousin Sun's ignorant participation is the darkness of people's hearts. At that time, my father Qi Huangong liked his nephew Sun's ignorance and treated him as a prince in his life. As a result, after he acceded to the throne, he reduced the treatment of Sun's ignorance, which made him resentful.

In 686 BC, in 65438+February, there was a rebellion of three clans. At that time, Qi Xianggong went hunting in Beiqiu and was startled by the wild boar. He fell off the car and hurt his foot. Hearing the news of the injury, Sun was ignorant and even said that he was in charge of his father, so he led the people to attack the residence and was killed. Sun was ignorant and self-reliant.

Qi Xianggong's death can be said to be self-inflicted, but the dark side of human nature determines the development of things.

Sun's ignorance came to no good end. In 685 BC, Minister Yong Yu attacked and killed Sun Ignorance. After the death of GongSunYu, Xiaobai, the son of Qi Xianggong, returned to China and acceded to the throne for Qi Huangong.

Qi Huangong, as the twelfth generation grandson of Lu Shang, initiated the high-light era of Qi, and Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms praised him greatly: "Qi Huan's contribution is the first among the tyrants. Nine princes, one conquers the world. "

Qi Huangong, as the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, used wise men at home, showed its national strength abroad, restored the chaotic Central Plains to calm, and made a great country.

But a generation of men died in their later years, desolate.

After Guan Zhong's death, Qi Huangong became increasingly fatuous, and began to take pride in killing children, deceiving the main party and castrating to please the monarch. As a result, national politics became more and more chaotic, and Qi Huangong did not make arrangements for his successor.

In 643 BC, Qi Huangong was seriously ill, and his five sons fought for the status of their henchmen. Qi chaos.

However, his beloved sons were so busy fighting for power and profit that they forgot his old and sick father Qi Huangong.

At this time, Yi Ya and others whom he trusted seized the opportunity and put Qi Huangong under house arrest, without food and people seeing him every day. Finally, the clever Qi Huangong starved to death in the hut.

His body was left there for more than two months, even stinking and rotting, and the corpse worm climbed out of the window.

It was not until1February 14 that the newly established Qi Jun took Huan Gong away without any damage.

Qi Huangong's death can be described as extremely sad, but Leng Qing in this case is even more chilling.

Looking through the history of Qi, we find that tragedies similar to Qi have been staged again and again. For the sake of rights, father and son kill each other, brothers turn against each other, and powerful ministers collude, so father and son are not father and son, brothers are not brothers, courtiers are not courtiers, and blood is full of courtiers.

When Qi Kang, the last king of Qi, and Tian He, the usurper minister, were exiled to the island and died, the footsteps of Qi Jiang Empire initiated by Jiang Ziya came to an abrupt end.
