In the spring and Autumn period, in June of the fifth year of the Duke of Lu Ding, Ji Pingzi came back from his inspection in Dongye and died on the road before he got home. Yu Yu, a minister of the family, was buried with Ji Pingzi. Zhong Liang Huai disagreed. He thought that Ji Pingzi should change his steps. Ji Pingzi was originally a minister of Dinggong, and he wanted to bury a minister with the etiquette of the princes, which was not in line with the etiquette of Zhou Dynasty.
