One of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, Chong'er, Duke Wen of Jin, had read poetry and books since he was a child. He was modest and studious, and loved the people around him. Many talented people were willing to follow him. Chong'er was patriotic, talented, and had many ways to govern the country, but he was rejected and framed by the traitors in the DPRK. Li Ji planned to make Xi Qi the crown prince, so she framed the current prince Shen Sheng. After the prince Shen Sheng hanged himself, Li Ji framed Chong'er and Yi Wu, and Chong'er and Yi Wu had no choice but to escape. Because the two young masters left without saying goodbye, Duke Xian of Jin thought that they had a conspiracy, so he sent envoy Boluan to attack them. Chong'er was forced into exile for more than ten years. During his exile, Chong'er was hunted down many times, forcing him to constantly travel among the vassal states. During this period, he experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, but at the same time he also had a deep understanding of the people's sentiments. After taking power, Chong'er paid attention to people's livelihood, insisted on upholding benevolent government, treated other vassal states with sincerity, and showed kindness and power. Eventually Chong'er was able to return home. After Chong'er came to power, he inspired and strengthened the country, carefully planned governance, and benefited the people; the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the world was stable and peaceful; his literary and martial arts skills were revealed to future generations, and they were prominent for thousands of years, and finally dominated the Central Plains!
