In history, there were many monarchs who killed ministers, many monarchs who annihilated rebellions, and few who killed their parents and children. Jin Xiangong is the most abnormal one.
His motive is to dote on a woman, Li Ji, and thus dote on her son. So he killed Prince Shen Sheng and drove away Zhong Er and other sons. History is called "Li Ji Rebellion".
In order to consolidate his youngest son's national status, he asked Xun to be the master of his sons Qi and Zhuo Zi to help them. Before he died, he said uneasily to Xun, "How can a scholar be trusted?"
Xun once said an empty word: "If the dead come back to life and the living can verify what he said to him without shame, then he will keep his word."
Jin Xiangong belongs to the generation that expanded its territory, which opened up a big situation for Jin Wengong's later hegemony. But the distortion of human nature is surprising. It can be seen that the road has gone, and people are no longer afraid of heaven and conscience.
