| | 魯莊哀姜: |
哀姜者，齊侯之女，莊公之夫人也。初，哀姜未入時，公數如齊，與哀姜淫。既入，與其弟叔姜俱。公使大夫宗婦用幣見，大夫夏甫不忌曰：「婦贄不過棗栗，以致禮也。男贄不過玉帛禽鳥，以章物也。今婦贄用幣，是男女無別也。男女之別，國之大節也。無乃不可乎？」公不聽，又丹其父桓公廟宮之楹，刻其桷，以夸哀姜。哀姜驕淫，通於二叔公子慶父、公子牙。哀姜欲立慶父，公薨，子般立，慶父與哀姜謀，遂殺子般於黨氏，立叔姜之子，是為閔公。閔公既立，慶父與哀姜淫益甚，又與慶父謀殺閔公而立慶父，遂使卜齮襲弒閔公於武闈。將自立，魯人謀之，慶父恐，奔莒，哀姜奔邾。齊桓公立僖公，聞哀姜與慶父通以危魯，乃召哀姜，酖而殺之，魯遂殺慶父。《》云：「」此之謂也。 |
| | Aijiang was a daughter of Lord Qi and the wife of Duke Zhuanggong. Initially, before Lady Aijiang entered the state, the duke visited Qi several times and had an affair with her. After she arrived, she came together with her younger brother Shujiang. The duke sent a high-ranking official's wife to present gifts in his name, and the official Xi Fu Buji said: "A woman's offering should not exceed dates and chestnuts; this is sufficient for expressing courtesy. "A man's offering should not go beyond jade, silk, or birds; these are used to distinguish the offerings according to their nature." "Now that a woman's offering is presented with cloth, this indicates no distinction between men and women. "The distinction between men and women is the great principle of a state." Is it not inappropriate?" The duke did not listen. He also painted red the pillars of his father Duke Huan's temple, carved the rafters, in order to impress Lady Aijiang. Lady Aijiang was arrogant and licentious; she had affairs with two of her uncles, Gongzi Qingfu and Gongzi Ya. Lady Aijiang wanted to install Duke Qingfu as ruler. After the duke died, his son Ziban was enthroned. Duke Qingfu and Lady Aijiang plotted together and killed Ziban at Dang Shi's residence, then installed Shujiang's son, who became Duke Min. After Duke Min was enthroned, Duke Qingfu and Lady Aijang became even more licentious. They then plotted together to kill Duke Min and install Duke Qingfu instead; thus they sent Bu Yi to assassinate Duke Min at Wu Wei. He was about to enthroned himself, but the people of Lu plotted against him. Fearing for his safety, Duke Qingfu fled to Ju, and Lady Aijiang fled to Zhu. Duke Huan of Qi installed Duke Xigong, and upon learning that Lady Aijiang had conspired with Duke Qingfu to endanger Lu, he summoned Lady Aijiang, poisoned her, and killed her. The state of Lu then executed Duke Qingfu. The Book of Songs says: "Drink your tears now; how can lamentations help you now!" This is what it means.
