Uphold justice at the cost of one"s blood relation

　　During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476BC), there was many dukedoms under the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. These dukedoms often fought one another to expand their territories. And within a dukedom, the struggle for power frequently occurred. A typical case was the murder of the Duke of Wei by his younger brother Zhou Xu.

　　Zhou Xu mitted the crime with the help of an important official called Shi Hou. Eventually, Zhou Xu became duke himself. Then he launched wars against other dukedoms and the people suffered. There were plaints and resentments all around.

　　When he learned about this, Zhou Xu was worried. He talked with Shi Hou about how to stabilize the situation and win back people"s confidence. Shi Hou said:"That"s easy. I"ll ask my father to speak for us. He is highly esteemed by all the officials and the people. I"m sure he"ll help us out."

　　Shi Hou"s father, Shi Que, had been a high-ranking official serving under the former duke. He resigned when Zhu Xu seized power. He hated Zhou Xu for his murder of the former duke. He also hated his own son, Shi Hou, for his part in the murder.
