In autumn, in the eighth month, Qi Huan Gong was buried.

In winter, the men of Xing and the Di people attacked Wei, besieging Tupu. The Marquis of Wei offered his state to his elder and younger brothers, his sons, and the courtiers, saying: "If anyone can govern the state well, I, Hui, will follow him."
