At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the official position of the vassal state declined gradually, and the dispute between officials and doctors in charge of state affairs became increasingly fierce. Dr. Lu and Uncle Sun divided the office into three parts. Later, Ji Sun became more and more powerful. At that time, Ji Kangzi was eager to annex and expand his power, thus seeking to seize the Lu regime.
