In fact, this Qi Huangong is not a very good person politically. He is a little enterprising and likes to eat, drink and be merry. However, his life is good. Although he is not outstanding, Guan Zhong around him is doing all kinds of things for him, from life to diplomatic war, he has done very well. So Qi Huangong left everything to him and trusted him very much. However, Guan Zhong lived up to expectations and managed the country in an orderly way, making it more and more prosperous.
Besides, his chef is elegant and inseparable from Qi Huangong. As we all know, the cooking techniques in the Spring and Autumn Period were very crude, which was nothing more than stewing in a pot. But this Yi Ya is very clever. He knows how to cater to Qi Huangong's taste, has his own innovation in cooking technology, and can invent some new dishes, which makes Qi Huangong feel that this person is very valuable. When entertaining governors and officials, he can cook a good dish, and Qi Huangong has a decent face.
But once, Qi Huangong hosted a banquet for Yan Zhuanggong. A table of delicious food made Yan Zhuanggong have to praise again and again. Qi Huangong proudly said that he had eaten all the delicious food and never tasted human flesh. Unfortunately, Yiya listened and killed her one-year-old son that night and sent him to Qi Huangong for stew. So Qi Huangong took a bite and asked Yi Ya what meat was so tender and delicious. Yiya cried and said that in order to cater to Qi Huangong's preference, he killed his son. Qi Huangong was so moved that he was appointed as the main minister. Guan Zhong always thought that people like Yi Ya were unreliable, but Qi Huangong wouldn't listen.
Soon, Qi Huangong was seriously ill. Yiya thought that Qi Huangong was a dying man, so he lied that no one was allowed to visit Qi Huangong. Yiya locked him in the bedroom and refused to let him eat or drink.
It's a shame that Qi Huangong ended his life in this way.
