Duke Huan had lived in the palace for a long time and was tired of eating all kinds of delicacies and delicacies. Once, he half-jokingly said to Yi Ya, "I have never eaten anything but steamed baby meat." In order to satisfy Duke Huan's desire, Yi Ya gave his three-year-old baby The son was steamed and presented to Duke Huan. Duke Huan thought that he was loyal to him, so he promoted Yi Ya to a more important position, and Yi Ya became his favorite. Later, the minister Guan Zhong fell ill, and Duke Huan of Qi went to visit him and asked Guan Zhong: "What can you teach me?" Zhong said: "You should not change people's teeth and be cunning." Duke Huan said: "Yi Ya cooks his son for me, can't you still trust me?" Guan Zhong said, "Everyone loves his son. If his own son doesn't love him, how can he love you?" Even after Guan Zhong died, Duke Huan still didn't believe his words. Soon Duke Huan of Qi was critically ill. Sure enough, Yi Ya supported Duke Huan of Qi's favored concubine Wei Yingji's son to rebel and blocked the palace gates. Duke Huan was angered to death on his bed.
