In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, Wang Gang fell, princes emerged one after another, and heroes competed for hegemony.
In 622 BC, Duke Xianggong of Jin Dynasty passed away and he was established as the crown prince, who would be the spiritual Duke for future generations.
When the Duke was young, he was assisted by his father Zhao Dun, Shi Hui, and Xun Lin, the senior officials of the Jin Dynasty. After ten years, he took charge personally.
When he was a young man, he was lucky enough to have sex, but he also played with things and became discouraged. He defended and remonstrated with no results, so he became evil in his heart. When he was older than the duke, he returned to power and took the throne. He was debauched and immoral, and the people were unlucky.
When Dun was a child, he had an unusual nature. A witch told him that he would ascend the throne as an assistant to the king, and that his position would reach the throne of his ministers. He also said that generations of princes would come from this person. The Zhao family was frightened and killed the witch. However, the rumors continued, and Duke Ling became suspicious.
The Zhao family was descended from the descendants of Yu the Great and was beheaded when he was controlling the floods, as well as Duke Wen. His military exploits were outstanding, and the princes and nobles attacked him forever, and his honors and favors could not be restored. Zhao Dun is the direct son of the great sect, which means that the great sect leads the small sect, and the small sect leads the group of brothers, and the power of life and death is delegated to him. The Shishihui died early, Gou Lin's father was old, and the power of the three ministers in the court no longer existed. If the trees were beautiful in the forest, the wind would destroy them. Duke Linggong repeatedly provoked to no avail, and he became angry from shame. A disaster for the Zhao family was inevitable.
