魯桓公 Duke Huan of Lu

 魯桓公  Duke Huan of Lu 

    魯桓公，名軌，是魯惠公的兒子，他的生母仲子原是惠公的寵妾；自元妃死後，改立為夫人，軌因此被立為世子。

When Hui Gong passed away, Gui was too young to govern.

The ministers all agreed that Xigu, the elder concubine, should be the king, and he would be Duke Yin of Lu.

At that time, another Lu Gongzi named Hui, also known as Yufu, was a treacherous, vicious and scheming man.

In order to seek the position of Grand Prime Minister, he said to Gong Yin:

"My lord has succeeded to the throne as the king of the country.

The people of the country are pleased with it.

In the future, I can pass the throne to my descendants.

Now that Gui is getting older, he may be unfavorable to my lord, so I am willing to plan his death to eliminate my lord's hidden worries."

隱公立刻制止他：「你怎可說這種狂話呢？軌是世子，應當繼承君位，先君駕薨，因他年幼，我不過暫時攝政而已，現在我已派人在菟裘（山東泗水縣北）建築宮室，準備遷讓養老，不久就傳位給軌了。」

羽父羞惱自己詭計不能得逞，又怕軌知道，對自己不利，於是連夜去見世子軌，

反說：「主公見你年已長大，恐來爭位，特召我入宮，囑咐我加害於你。」

軌聽信讒言，不知是計，便向羽父問計，羽父說：「如要免禍，就得先下手，我已為世子定計：主公每年冬月必親到城外拜祭鍾巫的廟，祭時必住在寪大夫家，現在正是機會，我預先派遣勇士，充作僕人，雜居左右，等他睡熟把他刺死，將來就把這殺君的罪，歸於寪( ㄨㄟˇ)大夫。」

軌聽完，便答應大事辦成給他太宰官職。羽父按計去做，果殺隱公，立軌為君，就是魯桓公，羽父為太宰，下令討寪氏殺君之罪。

    後來魯桓公娶齊襄公妹文姜為妻，文姜和襄公有舊情。

有一次桓公要到齊國和襄公相會於濼水（今山東歷城縣西北），文姜以歸寧為藉口，和桓公同到齊國。

襄公乘機與文姜私通。被桓公知道。憤怒責問，文姜告知襄公，襄公怕因此結仇，設酒宴、殷勤款待，乘桓公酒醉，命彭生抱上車，並密囑車中殺害，彭生見桓公熟睡，用勁拉其脅，脅骨折斷，大叫一聲，氣絕身死。

 羽父請殺桓公。將以求太宰。公曰。為其少故也。吾將授之矣。使營菟裘。吾將老焉。羽父懼。反譖公於桓公。而請弒之。使賊弒公於寪氏。立桓公而討寪氏。桓公會齊侯於濼。遂及文姜如齊。(文姜。桓公妻。齊襄公之妹。)齊侯通焉。公謫之。以告。（文姜告齊襄）享公。使公子彭生乘公。公薨於車。（拉脅而死也）（左氏傳）
