Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Jing of Qi went on an outing to Shaohai.
A messenger from the palace reported that his prime minister, Yan Ying, was gravely ill. If Duke Jing returned late, he might not see Yan Ying again. Duke Jing immediately got into his carriage.
After traveling a short distance, he felt the coachman was driving too slowly, so he took the reins himself and hurried back. He hadn't gone much further when he still thought the horses were too slow, so he jumped out of the carriage and ran back on foot.
