Guan Zhong, also known as Yi Wu, is a clever man. When he was young, he often interacted with Bao and knew that he was talented. Guan Zhong was born in a poor family and often occupied part of Bao Shu's property, but Bao Shu always treated him well and didn't complain. Later, he served the son of Qi, and Guan Zhong served Gong Zijiu. When Xiaobai was made Duke Huan, Gong Zijiu was killed and Guan Zhong was imprisoned.

Bao Shu recommended Guan Zhong to Huan Gong. After Guan Zhong was hired, he took charge of Qi politics, which led to Qi Huangong's hegemony. It is Guan Zhong's strategy to gather many governors to form an alliance and rectify the world. After Bao Shu recommended Guan Zhong, he was willing to be under Guan Zhong. His descendants have enjoyed their salaries in Qi for generations, and more than a dozen generations have had fiefs, mostly famous doctors.

Extended data historical background:

It is said that at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, hundreds of vassal states were enfeoffed, and by the Spring and Autumn Period, there were only over 100, among which only a dozen countries, such as Qi, Jin, Chu, Qin, Lu, Wei, Yan, Song, Chen, Cai, Zheng, Cao, Wu and Yue, were relatively large. These vassal States all want to be their own hegemons. Therefore, the hegemony of great powers became the main feature of the Spring and Autumn Period, and five hegemons appeared successively.

This is what the history books say about the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. One saying is: Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Song Xianggong, Qin Mugong, Chu Zhuangwang. Another way of saying it is: Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Chu Zhuangwang, Wu Wang, He Lv and Betty Wong Gou Jian. Qi Huangong became the overlord first.
