Huannan County. After defeating Yin in Jingzhou, he captured about ten Yin generals and subordinates, including advisor Luo Qisheng. Huan had always treated Qisheng well, and when he was about to kill him, he sent someone to tell him, "If you thank me, I will pardon your crime." Qisheng replied, "I was an official in Jingzhou of the Yin Dynasty. Now Jingzhou people are in exile, and their life or death is uncertain. How can I thank Duke Huan?" After Qisheng left the market, Huan sent someone to ask him what he wanted to say. He replied, "In the past, King Wen of Jin killed Ji Kang, and Ji Shao was a loyal minister of Jin. I beg you to give me one of your brothers to support my elderly mother." Huan also pardoned him as he was told. Huan Xian once gave a lamb fur coat to Qi Sheng's mother, Hu.

Nether Passage: Urban Wolf Tracks

If one is superior to one's elders, one should not ask their age. When meeting a banquet, one should not take orders. When meeting on the road, one should greet the other, but not ask where to go. When attending funerals, one should not express condolences. When serving a gentleman, one should not hold a zither or draw a line on the ground, and one should not move his hands.

Asking for an audience does not mean asking to leave. In court, one should say "leave", in banquets, one should say "return", and in military service, one should say "stop". When serving a gentleman, if the gentleman yawns, stretches, carries a scepter, cleans the head of the sword, and puts on his shoes, one should ask how early the day is, and even if one asks to leave, one can do so. Those who serve the king should consider before entering, and if not, then consider again; the same applies to those who ask for leave from others and those who work for others.
