Lady Wen Jiang, wife of Duke Huan of Lu, was the younger sister of Duke Xiang of Qi. Duke Huan and Wen Jiang both went to Qi. Duke Xiang of Qi had illicit relations with his younger sister. Duke Huan reproached Wen Jiang, and Wen Jiang told Duke Xiang. Duke Xiang was enraged, and then drank wine with Duke Huan. When Duke Huan went out, Duke Xiang ordered Prince Pengsheng to escort Duke Huan to his carriage. Pengsheng possessed great strength; he broke Duke Huan's ribs, and Duke Huan died in the carriage. The people of Lu reported to Qi, saying: "Our humble ruler, fearing your majesty's might, dared not rest at ease, and came to renew our old friendship. The rites having been completed, he did not return, and there is nowhere to lay the blame. We wonder what words we may use to announce this to the feudal lords. We ask that Pengsheng be used to eliminate this disgrace." The people of Qi laid the blame on Pengsheng and executed him. Later, Duke Xiang was hunting at Beiqiu, and there was a large boar. An attendant said, "I see that the boar is Pengsheng!" Duke Xiang angrily said, "How dare Pengsheng show himself!" and shot it. The boar then stood upright like a human and wailed. The duke, terrified, fell from his carriage, injured his foot, and returned. His ministers Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu staged a rebellion and subsequently killed Duke Xiang. (From the Yuanhun zhi.)
