Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, after the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, his son Prince Yigao was still very young. Zhao Dun, who was in charge of state affairs, wished to enthrone Duke Xiang's younger brother, Yong, instead. He dispatched envoys to the State of Qin to escort Yong back.
When Miu Ying, Prince Yigao's mother, learned of this plan, she brought her son to the court and wept bitterly day and night. She passionately argued that Duke Xiang's dying words, entrusting his young heir to them, were still ringing in their ears. How could they possibly go back on their word and change the succession so quickly?
