Zheng Boli asked Dr. Xu to pay Xu Shu to live in Xu Dong. He said: "Heaven is a disaster. Ghosts and gods really don't show off to Xu Jun, but the fake hand is for me. I'm just a father and a brother, and I can't make a billion dollars. How dare I be proud of Xu Zi? " I have a brother, who can't coordinate, so he has to face all sides. How long can it last? My son has asked Uncle Xu to comfort this man, and I will help him. If I lose my land, I will regret my misfortune with courtesy, and I will not be able to restore my country. Only I, Zheng Guozhi, please pay tribute to me. If I am old and confused, I can obey. Others in Woods really forced this place to compete with Zheng Guo for this land. My children and grandchildren have been destroyed and drowned, how can they be worshipped? My son is here not only because of Guo Xu's actions, but also to strengthen my life. "Because of this, Gongsun Sheng was allowed to deviate from the West, saying," Anyone who uses money or bribes is not allowed. When I die, I am eager to go! My ancestors lived in this new city, and the royal family was humble, and the descendants of Zhou were out of order. Fu Xu, great joy and bosom friend also. God hates Zhou De, how can I compete with Xu? 」
This gentleman called Zheng Zhuanggong "too polite". Courtesy, connecting the country, setting the country, making the people and benefiting future generations. Xu, chop without punishment, give up, put morality first, do what you can, keep pace with the times and not tire future generations. "(Works of People in Sequence: People in Sequence)
In the autumn and July of the eleventh year, the guild hall joined forces with Qi Hou and Zheng Bo to crusade against Guo Xu. On the first day, the armies of the three countries approached Xu Guocheng. Uncle Kao, holding the flag of the State of Zheng, boarded the city wall first, and Zi Zi (Doctor Zheng, Gong Sunkun) shot him from below. Uncle yingkao fell down and died. Uncle Liu Ying climbed the wall with an arc and waved a flag and shouted, "Our monarch has boarded the city!" " Zheng's army all boarded the city wall. On the third day of the third year, we invaded many countries. Xu Zhuanggong fled to Weiguo. Qi Hou wants to send Guo Xu to Lu Yingong. Lu Yingong said, "If you say that Guo Xu will not pay tribute or perform his duties as a vassal, I will follow you in your crusade. Now Guo Xu has been punished. Although you have an order, I dare not participate in this matter. " So he gave it to Zheng Zhuanggong Guo Xu. Zheng Zhuanggong ordered the doctor's younger brother, Xu Shu, to live in the eastern border town, and said to him, "Although Xu Shu was condemned by heaven, the ghosts and gods were not satisfied, so I borrowed my hand to punish him. I have several courtiers with the same surname, but I still can't cooperate with Qi Xin. How dare I take Guo Xu's defeat as my own credit? " I have a younger brother (Uncle Duan) who doesn't get along well, which leads him to wander around and deliver meals everywhere. How can he keep Guo Xu for a long time? You wait on Uncle Xu to appease the people here, and I'll send Gong Sunhuo to help you. If I can die a good death and rest in peace, God is kind to me and regrets the disaster I caused to Xu the day before, then Xu Gong can no longer take charge of his country? It's just that when Zheng makes a request, we hope that the blind date will be similar, and like the old father-in-law, we can condescend to promise us. Don't encourage others, let them get close to and live here and compete with me for this place. In this case, my children and grandchildren will have no time to save Zheng's own peril, and how can they sacrifice many mountains and rivers? The reason why I let you live here is not only for the sake of consolidating Zheng's border defense. So he sent Gong Sunhuo to the western border of Xu State and said to him, "Don't leave your property and money in Xu State. When I die, you must leave Guo Xu at once! The late king built a new capital here. Seeing that the status and power of Zhou royal family are declining, Zhou's descendants are losing their ancestral businesses. Guo Xu is a descendant of Taiyue. Since God hates the fate of the Zhou Dynasty, and we are descendants of Zhou, how can we compete with it? This gentleman thinks: "Zheng Zhuanggong is in line with etiquette in this matter." . Ritual system can govern the country, stabilize the political power, appease the people's hearts and benefit future generations. If many countries don't obey the law, they will punish it. If they plead guilty, they will forgive, measure their virtue in dealing with problems, measure the strength of their actions, and see the situation clearly before acting. It can be said that they are polite. 」

Zheng Zhuanggong admired Zheng Zhuanggong as a successful politician who was good at literature and martial arts. In the ever-changing international struggle, he was resourceful and good at diplomacy, which made Zheng's management once brilliant. Pursuing a strong life, Zheng Zhuanggong's life is undoubtedly strong, so he became the overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. At the same time, he was polite, so he attached great importance to Gao Qumi, which eventually led to the decline of Zheng's country. In any case, the idea of a strong life is commendable, and you will make progress one day.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a small country in the Central Plains, adjacent to the State of Zheng, called Xu Guo. It was one of the vassal states of Jiang enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty, belonging to the fifth-class vassal king. According to legend, the same clan as Qi * * *, both of whom were ancestors after April Boyi in the ancient Yao and Shun period.
Pingdong is also one of the staunch supporters. Therefore, in the early years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Fu Hou Shenbo was Wang Xianxiang, Qi and Xu were listed as vassals and dominated China. However, the good times did not last long. Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty moved the capital, the royal family has declined, and it has become a common practice between countries to bully the city and plunder. The princes didn't even pay attention to the Zhou royal family, let alone the dog country under their seats.
Because Guo Xu is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by tigers and wolves, and there are many powerful countries, as a weak country, it has to rely on the survival of the powers, such as Qi Qiang attached to Qi, Chu Sheng attached to Chu, and Jin came to Jin. But even so, Zheng Zaibei is eyeing Xu.
Zheng's monarch is called, also called. Zheng Zhuanggong was a famous bully in the Spring and Autumn Period. At the same time, Zheng Zhuanggong was also the most wily careerist in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the early years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he took the opportunity of moving eastward and destroyed the State of Guo and the State of Bi which were good to him. Then Zheng set his strategic goal as Xu, a weak Xu, and soon became a piece of fat that Zheng wanted to swallow.
This ancient prose records two admonitions given to the courtiers who stayed in Xudu after Zheng Zhuanggong conquered Xudu. This proverb is very famous in history. It is not difficult to see that Zheng Zhuanggong is smart and capable, and he is far-sighted in politics.
Historically, there has been no consensus on the evaluation of Zheng Zhuanggong. However, after reading this history, many decent people think: "Zheng Zhuanggong is polite in this matter. Abiding by the etiquette system is not only beneficial to governing and consolidating the country, but also beneficial to future generations. Guo Xu punishes those who don't obey the law, forgives those who plead guilty, measures their own virtue to deal with problems, and deals with people according to their own abilities, trying not to involve future generations, which can be said to be polite. 」
