During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi lost its monarch, and ministers nervously began to plan a new monarch. Qi Zhengqing was very close to Xiao Bai, the son of Qi State, and secretly sent someone to Ju State to call Xiao Bai back to China and acceded to the throne. At the same time, some people want to take the older Gong Zijiu back to China as the monarch, and Lu is also going to escort Gong Zijiu back to Qi, and send Guan Zhongling to intercept him halfway home.
When the two sides met, Xiao Bai was shot by Guan Zhong's arrow and almost died. In order to confuse each other, Xiao Bai pretended to be shot dead by an arrow. He took a light bus and rushed to Qi day and night. Gong Zijiu and Lu Jun thought that they were dead and the victory was in hand, so they slowed down the pace of returning to Qi and arrived six days later.
At this time, it was already. When he sent his troops to the west, he defeated Lu Jun.. Xiaobai ascended the throne of the Qi monarch, who is the famous Qi Huangong in history.
When Qi Huangong became a monarch, he always wanted to kill Guan Zhong. When he sent his troops to attack Lu, Bao said to Huan Gong, "If you want to govern the State of Qi well, it is enough to have a high waiting time with me;" If you want to dominate, you must have control! " Huan Gong was magnanimous, gave up the past, immediately accepted Bao's advice, and sent him to see Guan Zhong himself, treated him with courtesy and entrusted him with an important task.
After getting Guan Zhong, Huan Gong was like a duck to water, adding wings to the tiger and looking for someone to help him revitalize Qi. With the strong support of Huan Gong, Guan Zhong carried out drastic reforms.
Politically, the system of "harmony but difference" has been implemented. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, keep their jobs and not go into exile at will, so as to develop social production and consolidate rule.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Ba always opposed Liu Bei. Cao Cao led the troops to attack Liu Bei. Everyone followed Liu Bei south, but Liu Ba surrendered to Cao Cao north. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Ba was trapped in Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang wrote to persuade him to submit to Liu Bei, but Liu Ba still refused and surrendered to Liu Zhang. Liu Bei and his generals hated Liu Ba very much.
But just as Liu Zhang was about to break the city, Liu Bei gave an order: "Whoever wants to kill Liu Ba, I will punish his nine families." Because Liu Bei knew that Liu Ba was a rare talent, Liu Ba really made Liu Bei's ministerial order.
When he was an official of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he repeatedly suggested killing him. But after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin not only didn't kill him, but gave Wei Zhi a high position and relied heavily on Wei Zhi. Finally, the prosperity and development of the early Tang dynasty were realized, and the prosperity of chastity appeared.
When Jin Wengong Zhong Er escaped, his beard robbed him of his property. After he ascended the throne, ministers who had not fled with him before were very worried about being punished and might get into trouble at any time. At this time, Zhong Er pardoned the bearded Sheikh and made him an official, which finally stabilized the situation at that time.
