When Wei Wujiang met the Xiongnu envoy, he thought he was ugly and not worthy of leading a distant country, so he sent Cui Jigui to take his place. The emperor himself stood at the head of the bed holding a sword. After that, he ordered the spy to ask, "How is the King of Wei?" The Xiongnu envoy replied, "The King of Wei has an extraordinary appearance, but the man holding the sword by his bed is a hero." When Wei Wu heard this, he chased and killed the envoy.

Mr. Xi lived during the Yongjia Rebellion, and his hometown was very poor and hungry. The villagers praised his virtue and shared the feast with him. The Duke often brought his brother's son Mai and his aunt's two younger sons Zhou Yi to eat there. The villagers said, "We are all hungry and in need. Since you are a wise man, we want to help you. But we are afraid that we cannot save enough for both of us." So the Duke went to eat alone, and he always put rice on his cheeks and spit it out to his two children. Later they both survived and crossed the river together. After Duke Xi died, Yi was appointed as the county magistrate of Shan. After resigning from his post, he returned home and laid straw at the head of Duke Xi's bed, mourning for the whole three years.
