Abstract
Translator’s summary: This chapter describes the battle of Jifu, in which the state of Wu earns some honorable mention; but the main action is Duke Zhao’s failed effort to rid himself of the Ji family, which ends in his own exile. Neither Duke Zhao’s loyal grand officer Zijia Ju nor the chronicler expresses much sympathy for the Duke, believing him to have usurped as much authority from the Zhou kings as the Ji family usurped from him.
