The senior officials from the Kingdom of Zheng seized the opportunity to recite the line "You, O Zhong, are to be loved, But the talk of people, Is also to be feared." from Jiang Zhong Zi in the Odes of Zheng in the Book of Songs. This was to express that if the Kingdom of Jin did not release the Duke of Wei, it would inspire the wrath of the people, not only affecting the national prestige of Jin, but also affecting the image of the Marquis of Jin himself, and that gossip is a thing to be feared. At that point, after several rounds of poetry recitation, the Marquis of Jin finally gave the nod and agreed to release him.
