In the spring of the thirty-first year, in the first month of the king’s reign, the Duke was at Qianhou. Ji Sunyi went to Jin to visit Xun Li. In the summer, on the day Ding Si in April, Duke Gu of Xue passed away. Duke Jin sent Xun Li to convey condolences to the Duke at Qianhou. In autumn, Duke Xian of Xue was buried. In winter, Hei Gong fled to Jin to seek refuge, arriving in the twelfth month on the day Xinhai, which coincided with a solar eclipse.

In the spring of the thirty-first year, in the first month of the king’s reign, the Duke was at Qianhou, indicating an inability to be absent from internal affairs. Duke Jin intended to send troops to escort the Duke. Fan Xiansi said, “If Ji Sun does not come when summoned, it will be seen as a lack of loyalty. Then we should attack them. What should we do?” Jin summoned Ji Sun, and Fan Xiansi privately sent him, saying, “If the Duke must come, we will take no blame for it.” Ji Sunyi met with Xun Li in Jin at Shili. Xun Li said, “My lord sent me to speak to you: ‘Why do you refuse the lord? There is a lord who does not serve, and Zhou has regular punishment. You should plan for it!’ ” Ji Sunyi wore a cap of flax, clothed himself in hemp, and walked barefoot, kneeling in response, saying, “Serving the lord is not what a minister can do. Dare to escape punishment? If the lord regards me as guilty, please imprison me in Fei, awaiting the lord’s judgment. Also, if the ancestors of the first minister of the clan, Ji, are not cut off, they are given death. If they do not kill or harm, it is the lord’s mercy. Death is immortal. If you can return with the lord, then it is the wish of the minister. I dare not have a different heart.” In April, Ji Sunyi followed the ruler to Qianhou. Zi Jiazi said, “The lord must return to him. It is a disgrace not to, and it is a shame forever.” The Duke said, “Yes.” Everyone said, “It’s a word, and the lord will follow him.” Xun Li, by the command of Jin, paid his respects to the Duke and said, “My lord sent me to punish Yiru on behalf of the Duke. Yiru did not dare to escape death, so please enter!” The Duke said, “The lord’s favor for the late lord is extended to the people who will return to the temple to remove the family and worship the lord, but they cannot be women. The one who can see the lady is like a river!” Xun Li covered his ears and ran away, saying, “The lord’s crime of fear, dare you with the Wu Guo country’s difficulty? The minister may return to the lord. “He retired and said to Ji Sunyi,” The lord’s anger is not tired, and the child may return to worship. “Zi Jiazi said,” The lord will enter the infantry and must return to Ji Sunyi. “The duke wanted to go with the family, and the family forced the family to fail to return. Xue Bo Valley died, and the same alliance was recorded. In autumn, the Wu people invaded Chu, attacked Yi, invaded Qian and six. Chu Shen Yin Xu led the army to rescue Qian, and the Wu army returned. The Chu army moved Qian to Nan Gang and returned. The Wu army besieged Xian. Left Sima Xu, Right Sima Ji led the army to rescue Xian, including Yuzhang. The Wu army returned. This is the beginning of Zixu’s plan. In winter, Zhu Heigong fled to seek refuge, and the land is heavy. Junzi said, “It is also possible not to be cautious. The man has something called but not already. The earth punishes, although humble, will record the land, and name it, and not fail. It is difficult for a wise man to think of a ceremony. The ceremony is not shame. Attack the place, escape the country, and fall into the people’s lack of name. The soil will be free. Do not run away and name the chapter. The wind is for the people, as the dynasty. The righteous man is guilty of being a king and being a good man, and you are difficult. So to the left and the right of the people, name the chapter of the book, “Sting”. The name of the property is evil, to those who understand. I know, then, that, is
