After the death of Duke Zhaogong of Lu, his younger brother Gongzi Song ascended the throne as Duke Ding of Lu. When Emperor Dinggong ascended the throne, Zhao Jianzi, the grand master of the Jin Dynasty, asked the historian of the Jin State: "Will the Jisun clan perish?" The Historian of the Jin Dynasty said, "It will not perish." Ji You had great merits for the State of Lu, having his own fiefdom or Shangqing of the State of Lu, while his descendants Ji Wenzi, Ji Wuzi, and Ji Pingzi had accumulated meritorious deeds over the generations. After the death of Duke Wen of Lu, the Dongmen clan killed Li Shu, and the king of the state of Lu had lost his state government. At present, the state government is in the Jisun clan, and now there are four generations of monarchs (Xuangong, Chenggong, Xianggong, Zhaogong), and the people of the Lu state have long been unaware of the existence of a monarch, how can the monarch have a state? Therefore, the monarch cannot give to others such things as ceremonial instruments and knighthoods that symbolize his identity. "But ironically, is the Jin monarch much better than the Lu monarch?" Will Zhao Jianzi feel embarrassed when he hears it? After Ji Pingzi's death, Ji Huanzi became the patriarch of the Jisun clan. Ji Sun had a courtier named Yang Hu, who had a conflict with Ji Huanzi's favorite, Liang Hu, and Yang Hu arrested Liang Huai. Ji Huanzi was definitely not happy, and Yang Hu simply did not do two things and arrested Ji Huanzi as well. Ji Huanzi and Yang Hu made an oath (it should be something promised), and Yang Hu released Ji Huanzi. Yang Hu took the land returned by the State of Qi to the State of Lu as his own fief, where he worked and presided over the administrative affairs, and the Ji Sun clan controlled the government affairs of the monarch to the Ji Sun clan, and Yang Hu controlled the Ji Sun clan, so Yang Hu controlled the administrative affairs of the Lu state. Yang Hu also wanted to attack the "Three Huans", and was ready to get rid of the "Three Huans" concubines and establish a concubine with a good relationship with himself. Lu Zhaogong's previous lessons do not know how to learn, the "three Huan" team up is simply invincible in the country of Lu. Yang Hu pretended to invite Ji Huanzi to the banquet, preparing to take the opportunity to kill him. Ji Huanzi took care of the coachman with three inches of uncorrupted tongue and asked the coachman to pull him to the Meng Sun family's house. The "Three Huans" attacked Yang Hu together, and Yang Hu had to run back to his own fengyi. The "Three Huans" were willing to give up and fight against Yang Hu, directly driving Yang Hu out of the Lu Kingdom. Yang Hu first arrived in the State of Qi, and he hoped that Qi Jinggong would attack the State of Lu to avenge him, but bao Guo, the Grand Master of the State of Qi, believed that he had betrayed the Jisun clan, who had been kind to him, and was a villain, and advised Qi Jinggong not to help him. So Qi Jinggong imprisoned Yang Hu, but Yang Hu still ran away, this time running to the Jin Kingdom and defecting to Zhao Jianzi. Under Zhao Jianzi, this troublesome root seedling was very motivated, helping Zhao Jianzi stabilize the situation and making the Zhao clan stronger and stronger. Lu Dinggong and Qi Jinggong Allied Association, Already famous Confucius as the host. The State of Qi wanted to attack the Duke of Lu Ding, Confucius stood on the steps to rebuke the State of Qi, and when qi Jinggong was afraid, he did not act, and returned the land that had been encroached upon by the State of Lu to apologize. Lu Dinggong also wanted to fight the idea of "Three Huans" and let Confucius's disciple Zhongyou (that is, Zilu) tear down the walls of the "Three Huans", but Meng Sun did not agree, and Lu Dinggong had no choice. Qi Guo gave Lu Guoge Ji and horses, and Ji Wenzi liked it very much and accepted it. Confucius saw that the atmosphere of the Lu kingdom was also too bad, so he resigned his official position and did not do it, and traveled around the world.

When Duke Lu Ding died, his son Gongzi would take the throne, the Duke of Lu Ai. At this time, it was already the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Wu Wang Fuchai was very powerful, came to attack the State of Qi, and through the State of Lu, let the State of Lu enter and sacrifice a hundred pigs, cattle and sheep. Ji Kangzi asked Confucius's disciple Zigong to teach etiquette to Wu Wang Fuchai and Wu Guo's Dazai Boyao, who said, "We are barbarians, and it is not worth asking us with etiquette." So he stopped asking for it, presumably Zigong was nagging like Tang Monk and saying that he was annoyed with Fu Cha. During the Lu Dynasty, the State of Lu was sandwiched between the State of Qi and the State of Wu, which was not uncomfortable, and often "feared that the wolf was beaten with a pole", and also lost a lot of land. Ji Sun's appointment of Confucius's disciple Ran You was quite effective, so he remembered his teacher, and Confucius returned to the country of Lu. At this time, Tian Chang killed the Duke of Qijian, and Confucius, out of morality, hoped that the Duke of Lu Ai would attack Tian Chang, but the Duke of Lu Ai did not dare, he just took advantage of Tian Changgang's unstable foothold in the xiangguo and hoped to get close to the princes, and wanted to return some of the land occupied by the State of Qi. Duke Lu Ai was still jealous of the "Three Huans" and wanted to take advantage of Ji Kangzi's death to contact other princes to eliminate the Three Huans. The "Three Huans" were also afraid that Lu Aigong would be difficult, and there was a gap between the monarchs and the courtiers. Lu Aigong went out to play, met Meng Zhaobo, and asked him: "Can I have a good death?" Meng Zhaobo said, "I don't know!" "The two monarchs are playing dumb puzzles here, does Lu Aigong mean that "Sanhuan" will do something to me?" Meng Zhaobo's meaning depends on your performance. The princes contacted by the Duke of Lu'ai were the State of Yue, but before the Arrival of the Yue soldiers, the "Three Huans" attacked the Duke of Lu Ai, leaving him forced into exile to weiguo, zouguo, and yueguo. The Lu people welcomed the Duke of Lu ai back to China, but he soon died.

After the death of Duke Lu Ai, his son Gongzi Ning ascended the throne, that is, Duke Lu Mourning. Let's "mourn" the State of Lu, because from then on, the "Three Huans" can really run rampant in the Country of Lu, and the King of the State of Lu is like Xiao Zong, but it is not as good as the "Three Huans".
After the death of Duke Lu Mourning, there was nothing to record, and it was passed down for several generations, until the time of Lu Qinggong, when the state of Lu was destroyed by the State of Chu. From the Duke of Zhou to the Duke of Lu, there were thirty-four emperors.
The State of Lu was the country with the best execution of the Zhou Rites, and it also produced saints such as Confucius and Mencius (Mencius was a descendant of the Mengsun clan and migrated to the State of Zou), but the state politics of the State of Lu were still in chaos, with Qing Father and Yang Hu in rebellion, the "Three Huans" controlling the government, the Dongmen clan killing Li Shu, the Huan Gong killing the Hidden Duke, and so on. It can be seen to what extent Confucius said that "the ceremony collapses and is bad".
