When Duke Xian died in the ninth month of 651 BC, Ji Xiqi, the son of Li Ji, ascended the throne. However, only a month later Xiqi was killed by the minister Li Ke. Chancellor Xun Xi (荀息) then installed Zhuozi, Xiqi's younger half-brother and cousin, on the throne. But Zhuozi met the same fate as Xiqi: a month later he was also killed by Li Ke, and Xun Xi committed suicide. After Zhuozi's death, Li Ke installed his older half-brother, Duke Hui, on the throne. Duke Hui would later force Li Ke to commit suicide for the crime of killing Xiqi and Zhuozi.^[1]
