Zhou Tianzi had a plan for the princes, the status of knighthood was different, and the level of etiquette was also different, so the etiquette system could not be given to people casually.

Prince Xiao fled to Weiguo accompanied by Su Shi. Duke Hui of Wei, resentful of King Zhou's acceptance of his political enemy Gongzi Qianmu, joined forces with Southern Yan to support Prince Hui.

In the summer of the same year, Zheng Ligong brought the exiled King Hui of Zhou back to the State of Zheng and placed him in the State of Zheng 's Oak Prefecture (present-day Yuzhou, Henan). In the autumn of the same year, King Hui of Zhou and Duke Li of Zheng arrived in Wudi, so they entered Chengzhou and obtained Chengzhou's utensils and utensils to be moved back to Oak Land for King Hui of Zhou to enjoy.
In the spring of the fourth year of The Reign of King Hui of Zhou (21st year of duke Luzhuang, 673 BC), Zheng Ligong and Emperor Yu of the State of Yu met in Yidi (弭地, in present-day Xinmi, Henan) and swore an oath to fight against the prince. In the summer of the same year, the combined forces of Zheng and Yu attacked Wangcheng together. Zheng Ligong embraced King Hui of Zhou and entered the city from the Yuanmen Gate, and Uncle Yu entered the city from the North Gate, killing five doctors, including Prince Hui and Bian Bo. Zheng Ligong and Uncle Yu set up a banquet at the west gate of the palace to entertain King Hui of Zhou, and the whole set of music and dance was complete, and King Hui of Zhou re-ascended to the throne of Zhou Tianzi.

King Hui of Zhou was so angry that he instructed Zheng Wengong to renege on his covenant and contact the State of Chu, while he himself sent people to contact the State of Jin in an attempt to form an alliance of Zhou, Zheng, Jin, and Chu against the State of Qi.

King Hui was defeated and fled to Wendi, but also to the State of Zheng. Subsequently, Zheng Guo united with the State of Yu, swore an oath to fight against Ji Decadence, and welcomed King Hui back to China. After king Hui of Zhou returned, in order to thank Zheng Guo and Yu Guo for their contributions to his restoration, he gave Jiuquan to Yu Guo, and the land east of Tiger Prison to Zheng Guo.
Anecdotal allusions
In July of the fifteenth year of King Hui of Zhou (the thirty-second year of the Duke of Luzhuang, 662 BC), there were gods descending in Xindi. King Hui of Zhou asked Nei Shi, "What is the reason for this?" The Inner History replied, "The state will rise, and the gods will descend, observe its virtues; and when it is about to perish, the gods will also descend, observe its evil." Therefore, some of them rose up with the gods, and some of them got the gods and perished, and Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou all had this situation. King Hui of Zhou said, "What to do?" Uchiha replied, "Sacrifice with the corresponding items." The day he came, according to the rules, what should be the sacrifice of this day, that is, his sacrifice. King Hui of Zhou then followed Neishi's advice. Uchihi went to the sacrifice and heard the kingdom of Yu asking for the gods to give it, and came back and said, "The kingdom of Yu is bound to perish, and it is tyrannical and obedient to the gods." ”
The gods lived in Xindi for six months, and duke Yu sent Zhu Ying, Zongqu, and Shi Di to sacrifice. The gods promised to give him territory and fields. Shi Shi said, "I'm afraid the Kingdom of Yu is about to perish!" I have heard: 'The nation will rise up, listen to the people, and perish, and listen to the gods.' The gods are wise and righteous and single-minded, acting according to different people. There are many evil virtues and bad things in the country, what land can be obtained? ”
