105 Duke Xian and His Sons

A5.9 

In the second year of his reign (714 BC), Duke Xian moved the capital to Pingyang. He sent troops to conquer Dangshe. In the third year (713 BC), Duke Xian fought with the Bo people, and the Bo king fled to the Rong, so the Qin army destroyed Dangshe. In the fourth year (712 BC), Prince Hui of Lu killed Lord of Lu, Duke Yin. In the twelfth year (704 BC), Qin conquered Dangshi and took it. Duke Xian was made king at the age of ten, died after twelve years in office, and was buried in Xishan. He had three sons, the eldest son Duke Wu of Qin was the crown prince. Duke Wu of Qin and his younger brother Duke De of Qin were both sons of Lu Ji. And Wang Ji gave birth to Chuzi. After Duke Xian died, the great minister Fu Ji, Wei Lei, and Sanfu deposed the crown prince and made Chuzi the king. In the sixth year of Chuzi (698 BC), Sanfu and others sent people to kill Chuzi. Chuzi was made king at the age of five and died after six years as king. Sanfu and others then re-enthroned the former crown prince Duke Wu of Qin as king.
