Qi Huangong has many wives and children. Is there really no one to collect the body after his death?

On September 12, 643 BC, Qi Huangong, who had been king of Qi for 43 years, died of illness. "Zuo Zhuan" records: "Lu Xigong was ten years and seven years, and Qi Huangong died in October."

We in China always pay attention to "the dead are the biggest". As the king of a country and the overlord of a vassal, isn't his funeral a sensation in the ruling and opposition parties, and the people of Qi are bound to bury the country? It should have been like this, but the fact is really unexpected. Qi Huangong's body was laid on the bed for sixty-seven days, when the weather happened to be autumn. After wearing the body for so long, the corpse worm climbed out of the window. It was not until1February 14 that the newly established Qi Jun put the body of Huan Gong, which was almost eaten by maggots, into the coffin.

Qi Huangong's life was not great, but he was not miserable after his death. "Historical Records" records: "Huan Gong has more than ten sons." How can these more than ten sons let their old people die for more than 60 days, and their bodies are covered with maggots but not buried? What happened in these two months?

It turned out that when Huan Gong was seriously ill, five of his more than ten sons began to gang up for the throne. In other words, at this time, these sons of Huan Gong were thinking, and their eyes were only fixed on the seat of the monarch. Where can they afford a dead man?

Lust seems to be the common problem of most governors in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Qi Huangong is no exception.

Qi Huangong has three wives, namely Ji Wang, Ji Xu and Cai Ji. There are not many records about Ji Wang and Ji Xu in the history books. The first wife we only know is from the Zhou royal family. After Ji Wang's death, Qi Huangong married Ji Xu, the daughter of Guo Xu's office. Later, Ji Xu also died, and Cai Guo Cai Aihou's sister Cai Ji became his wife again.

It's a pity that these three ladies didn't give birth to a man and a woman for some reason. Because of this, his six wives, that is, the sons born to his beloved six concubines and concubines, fell into a battle for the throne in Qi Huangong, where he was seriously ill from the beginning.

Wei * * * Ji, also known as Chang, is the daughter of Wei's official position, and she has a son and no deceit;

Second Lieutenant Ji is also the daughter of Weiguo House, and her son is Yuan.

My daughter is the first, and her son is Zhao;

Ge Bi, her daughter, gave birth to a son named Pan.

Jimmy, the daughter of the American office, gave birth to a businessman;

Song's daughter's departure gave birth to harmony.

At the beginning, Duke Huan and Guan Zhong were in charge, and Zhao, the son, was appointed as the prince and entrusted. But later, Wei * * * Ji took advantage of the relationship between his favorite and vertical Diao, and promised to make his son a prince without bullying him. After Guan Zhong's death, except Yong, the other five grandchildren demanded succession.

At this time, Qi Huangong's biggest mistake was that he didn't arrange his successor, so after his death, his five sons began to attack and compete with each other. Finally, Yi Ya, another favorite of Huan Gong, colluded with Vertical Diao, and after rushing into the palace to kill many doctors, he made Gongzi king. Prince Zhao was afraid of being killed and fled to Song.

Childe has been dead for sixty-seven days since he bullied you, and Qi Huangong, whose body was eaten by maggots, was put in the coffin.

But things are not over. Entrusted by Duke Huan before his death, he joined forces with the armies of the vassal states to attack the State of Qi, in order to let his son Zhao return to China and succeed to the throne. The people of Qi were very afraid. They killed the monarch and prepared to meet the prince of Zhao.

The other four childe quit, so they called the henchmen to attack Song Jun and Prince Zhao. Finally, the Fourth Childe was defeated, and Prince Zhao inherited the throne of Qi. This is Qi Hong Xiao.

This battle for the throne once threw the political situation of Qi into chaos. It was not until the following August that Qi Xiaogong buried his father Qi Huangong.

Qi Huangong I, a wise SHEN WOO, even if he was fatuous in his later years, never thought that he would really be like Hao Jing's poem "White Dog Trip" in the Yuan Dynasty: "It's nothing to look back on my subjects and call my father, and bloom will have a legacy through the ages."
