In 687 BC, Qi was in chaos and there was a situation where the country had no monarch.

Bao Shuya wanted to take Gongzi Xiaobai back to Qi State to ascend the throne. After hearing about it, Gong Qianjiu hurriedly returned to China to compete for the throne.

Young Master Killing also sent Guan Zhong to lead his troops to intercept Xiaobai. Guan Zhong shot Xiaobai's copper-robed hook with an arrow.

Xiaobai was wise in a hurry, shouted, fell to Dongjian, and deceived Guan Zhong: When Guan Zhong left, he would travel day and night, and rushed back to Qi to ascend the throne.

Young Master Jiu heard Guan Zhong say that Xiaobai was dead, so he walked slowly and calmly. As soon as he arrived in Qi State, he realized that Xiaobai had ascended the throne first.

Duke Huan of Qi After Xiaobai ascended the throne, he sent troops to attack and escort Gongzijiu's troops, killed Gongzijiu, and arrested Guan Zhong.

In order to avenge a single arrow, Duke Huan of Qi wanted to kill Guan Zhong. Bao Shuya knew Guan Zhong's talent well and persuaded Duke Huan of Qi to ignore the previous grudges and value Guan Zhong.

Qifugong really did not care about personal grudges and appointed Guan Zhong as a doctor. With the assistance of Guan Zhong and others, after four years of reform, the national strength of Qi was strengthened.

Duke Huan of Qi began his career in hegemony, using the name of the emperor of Zhou to fight east and west, gradually gaining political advantages.

Duke Huan of Qi tried his best, united some vassal states, destroyed the Tan state, quelled the civil unrest in Song Dynasty, annexed Sui State, and attacked Lu State.

Lu asked for peace from Qi, and the two countries decided to join and . At the alliance ceremony, Lu general Cao Mo suddenly pulled out his dagger and forced Duke Huan of Qi to retreat to the occupied Lu territory.

Duke Huan of Qi was forced to agree, but he wanted to go back on his word. Later, he followed Guan Zhong's advice, kept his promise, and won the trust of the princes.

In the spring of 679 BC, Qi, Song, Lu, Chen, Wei, Zheng and other countries met in the Juan Alliance of Wei and elected Duke Huan of Qi as the leader of the alliance, and Qi began to dominate.

In 664 BC, Shanrong State invaded Yan State . Yan asked for help from Qi. Duke Huan of Qi personally led a large army to fight north and drove away Shanrong .

Duke Zhuang in Yan was grateful and sent Duke Huan of Qi to Qi, but it was still hard to part with it.

In 656 BC, the eight-nation coalition forces of Qi, Lu, Song, Chen, Wei and other eight-nation forces attacked Chu. The Chu State sent Qu Wan to negotiate peace, and the eight countries formed an alliance with Chu in Zhaoling and made a reconciliation.

Qifang Gong became the overlord, and he was inevitably arrogant and often boasted.

In 645 BC, Guan Zhong died of illness. Before his death, he persuaded Duke Huan of Qi to alienate villains such as Yiya , Shu Diao , etc., and Duke Huan did as he did.

After driving away Yi Ya, Shu Diao and others, Duke Huan was unwilling to accept the taste and reused them, causing the political affairs of Qi to decline.

In 643 BC, Duke Huan of Qi was seriously ill, and Yi Ya, Shu Diao and others cut off water and fasted food, trapping Duke Huan of Qi to death. A generation of overlords, the ending is miserable.
