Abstract
Translator’s summary: The powerful state of Jin comes off as very overbear-ing in this chapter, making frequent requests of Lu’s army and trying to kidnap Duke Cheng, after Lu is slow to respond. The story of Zhong (Gongsun) Yingqi sheds light on earlier political intrigue and on the practice of creating and naming branch families.
