In the winter, the Jin people defeated Bi, and the Qing army blamed Xianyu and killed him, exterminating his clan. The gentleman said: "When evil comes, one must take it from oneself. It is the first thing to seek it out."

清丘之盟，晋以卫之救陈也讨焉。使人弗去，曰：“罪无所归，将加而师。”孔达曰：“苟利社稷，请以我说。罪我之由。我则为政而亢大国之讨，将以谁任？我则死之。”
Qingqiu's alliance, Jin Yiwei rescued Chen Yeben. He sent people to leave and said: "There is no blame for the crime, and the enemy will be punished." Kongda said: "If you want to benefit the country, please tell me. The reason why you sinned against me is that I overstate the power of the country for the sake of politics. Who will be responsible for it? I will die."

Qingqiu's alliance was criticized by the Jin State because the Wei State rescued the Chen State. The Jin envoy refused to leave and said: "If there is no one to blame, war will be put on you." Kunda said: "If it is beneficial to the country, please use my death as an explanation. The fault is mine. I am in power, and facing the blame of a big country, who else can I blame? I am willing to die for this."
