| | Jiegelu Zhuazhua and Baidi Bian, both paid homage to the state of Lu, met at the crossroads of Shenyou Shi, where they glanced at each other and burst into laughter. Their attendants returned and told others in the guest house, and mutual criticism ensued. The people of Lu had Qu Lüe and Jieqiang captured to show them, but they did not understand. Gongshan Funiu wanted to attack the Ji family and consulted Ran You. Ran You said, "Why not invite Zhongni?" Gongshan Funiu sent someone to summon Zhongni. Someone told his people, "When you followed Master Kong, you wore bright clothes and ate food prepared with effort. Now that you are maintaining the old ways while enriching new ones, yet you summon Zhongni; if he comes, he will certainly be given authority, and he will bind you with ropes. You will surely regret it!" They secretly instructed the envoy to change the courtesy offered, so Zhongni did not come. As they were about to raise an army, Ran You said, "Why not consult the Duke?" They did not listen. So they led the people of Fei to attack the Ji family, inquiring about Duke Zhao. When the army entered, it startled the palace of the Duke. Ji Huanzi took the Duke and climbed onto a platform, sending an official to deliver a message to the people of Fei, saying: "The affairs of our late lord were handled by the former high officials. Although the overlord indeed gave orders, in this matter we serve you with utmost caution." "Your lord's kindness has been generous and abundant, with no second command. Yet you few do not consider the state of Lu or consult the Duke, but instead arrive suddenly with arms; how will this affect our lord and the state?" Moreover, I have heard: a kite does not startle a crow, nor is one who is bare-chested blamed for sitting cross-legged. "Only you few should consider this." The people of Fei dragged their spears and fled, and Gongshan Funiu fled to Qi. A man of virtue said: "Was Gongshan's attack on the Ji family not like Jiegelu's mockery of the Di people?" "Although he wanted to summon Zhongni, in the end he was deceived by his own men and did not succeed; it is only fitting that he achieved nothing."
