What did Song Mingong say to the minister to end his life?

In 686 BC, the State of Qi and the State of Lu fought a war over the position of monarch of the State of Qi, which was called the Battle of Gan and Shi. The battle was started by Duke Zhuang of Lu, and the ultimate loser was Duke Zhuang of Lu, which was a fiasco. At that time, Qi was busy with the alternation of the old and the new, so there was no pursuit of victory. However, in 684 BC, after the stability of the Qi regime, it was decided to send troops to teach Lu a lesson, so there was a subsequent battle of long spoons.

Qi was determined to win the battle with a long spoon, but the final result was surprising, because the powerful Qi was later defeated by Lu. This time, the bid officer on the Lu side is Cao Gui, the one who argued in the Chinese textbook. Defeated the attack of Qi, and in February of the same year, Duke Zhuang of Lu used soldiers against Song. Qi is much stronger than Lu, but it is not an opponent, not to mention the weak Song. Song Guodong, who was beaten by Lu people, hid in Tibet.

so, in this case. Qi and Song, which were also defeated by Lu, were United. The allied forces of Qi and Song were ready to avenge their past mistakes. The two countries negotiated about the allied forces, so they stationed their troops in Langdi, ready to beat Lu out of the water. In the face of the siege of the Qi and Song allied forces, Lu did not panic. At that time, the son of Lu Yan proposed to Duke Zhuang of Lu to attack the weaker Song Jun first.

The reason is simple: Song Jun is weak and easy to defeat. After defeating Song Jun, the Qi army naturally retreated. However, this seems to be very reasonable, and later Gongziyan did indeed achieve a complete victory. But at that time, he did not ask for the consent of Lu Zhuanggong when he proposed to him. Although the monarch didn't agree to use troops like this, the son had a plan in mind, and later went out of the city privately to implement his perfect military plan.

Gongzi Yan led troops to attack Song Jun privately, and defeated Song Jun in Chengqiu (now Juye, Shandong Province). Later, he even captured Nangong Changwan, the general of Song Jun. The Qi army retreated after seeing this, so Lu won another beautiful battle. However, although the Nangong Changwan became a prisoner, he did not worry about his life. Because later, at the request of Song State, Duke Zhuang of Lu promised to release Nangong Changwan.

However, after Chang Wan was released and returned to China, Song Mingong retaliated against Lu once, in an attempt to avenge himself. But it is a pity that it still failed. Later, once Nangong Changwan and Song Mingong went out hunting, because they both fell in love with the same prey. Therefore, because of the prey, there was a struggle between the monarch and the minister. Song Mingong's words were recorded in the history books about this struggle: At first, I respected my son, and now I am a prisoner in Lu. I respect my son.

The general idea of this remark is that I respected you before and didn't compete with you. Now you have become a prisoner of Lu and come back to grab things from me. Now you are no longer qualified. As can be seen from Song Mingong's remarks, before being captured by Lu, Song Mingong still valued the Nangong Changwan. Moreover, according to historical records, when two people were fighting for prey, Song Mingong said it in a joking tone.

But the speaker didn't mean to listen, but Song Mingong's words deeply hurt Nangong Changwan's self-esteem. As the saying goes, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated". Stimulated by Song Mingong's remarks, the Nangong governor became furious and finally killed Song Mingong in a rage in this place of Mengze. Later, Chou Mu, the doctor of the Song Dynasty, heard that Song Mingong had been killed, so he came with troops.

Shi Zai Nangong Changwan was a man of great strength. In the end, Chou Mu was captured and killed by Nangong Changwan, and the Taizai Hua Du of the Song State was also killed in the coup. Later, Wan Li, the younger brother of Song Mingong, the Nangong governor, became the new king, that is, Fei Gong before the Song Dynasty. Although Nangong Changwan killed the monarch and successfully established a new monarch, the coup was still an impulsive act as a powerful general.

Nangong Changwan was not a successful coup initiator. Nangong Changwan and his new monarch failed to escape the fate of failure. Nangong Changwan later fled to Chen State, and was killed in Song State after Chen State was captured, and Fei Gong was also killed before Song Dynasty.
