鲁桓公弑隐公而自立者，宣公弑子赤而自立者，郑厉公逐世子忽而自立者，卫公孙剽逐其君衎而自立者，圣人于《春秋》，皆不绝其为君。 Duke Huan of Lu murdered Duke Yin and took the throne; Duke Xuan murdered Prince Chi and took the throne; Duke Li of Zheng expelled the crown prince Hu and took the throne; Gongsun Piao of Wei drove out his lord Kuan and took the throne—yet in the Spring and Autumn the Sage never struck their titles as rulers.
