In the spring and Autumn period, when the state of Qi lost its monarch, the ministers nervously began to plan for the establishment of a new monarch. Zhengqing of Qi was very close to Xiaobai since childhood, so he secretly sent someone to call Xiaobai back to the state of Ju to ascend the throne. At the same time, there are also people who want to pick up the elder young master Jiu to return home as king, and the state of Lu is also preparing to escort young master Jiu back to Qi, and send Guan Zhong to lead the troops to intercept Xiaobai on the way home. When the two sides meet, Xiaobai is shot by Guan Zhong with an arrow and nearly dies. In order to confuse each other, Xiaobai pretends to be killed by an arrow and drives to Qidu in a light car day and night. He thought Xiaobai was dead and sure to win, so he slowed down the speed of returning to Qi and arrived six days later. At this time, Xiaobai had already been supported as the king of Qi, and he defeated the Lu army when he joined the army. Xiaobai ascended the throne of the monarch of Qi. He was the famous Duke Huan of Qi in history. Duke Huan of Qi became a monarch. He always wanted to kill Guan Zhong. When he attacked Lu, Bao Shuya said to Huan Gong, "if you want to manage Qi well, it's enough to have Gao Hou and I; if you want to dominate, you have to have Guan Zhong!" Huan Gong was magnanimous and gave up the past. He immediately accepted Bao Shuya's advice and sent him to meet Guan Zhong personally.

With the great support of Duke Huan, Guan Zhong carried out the reform in a bold way. In politics, the system of "three countries and five despicable" was adopted. In order to develop social production and consolidate the rule, the people should be allowed to live and work in peace and not to migrate and go into exile at will.
