Ji palwaar ke position rahaa "Minister over the Masses", jon "Prime Minister" bhi rahaa; Meng palwaar ke position "Minister of Works" rahaa; aur Shu palwaar ke position "Minister of War" rahaa. Template:BCE ke winter me, Yang Hu—a Ji palwaar ke ek retainer— rebel kar diis aur Ji palwaar se taagat lae liis. Lekin Template:BCE ke summer talak, tiin hereditary palwaar Yang Hu ke Lu se khader de rahin. Uu time talak, Confucius aapan udes ke kaara n kaafi dher chela ke bator liis rahaa, aur ii time palwaar logan ii dekhe lage rahin ki achchhaa kaam kare se, uu aslii sarkar ke wfadaari dekhae sakat rahin.

Jab ki Meng aur Shu palwaar Hou ke bina safaltaa ke besiege kare rahin, ek loyalist official Hou log ke saathe Hou Fan ke state of Qi bhaage ke majbuur kar diis.
