事齊靈公、莊公、景公，以節儉力行重於齊。 He served Dukes Ling, Zhuang, and Jing of Qi, and with frugality and diligent conduct was honored in Qi.

方晏子伏莊公尸哭之，成禮然後去，豈所謂「見義不為無勇」者邪？ When Yan Zi prostrated himself over Duke Zhuang's corpse, wept for him, completed the rites, and only then departed, was this not what is meant by "seeing what is right and failing to act shows lack of courage"?
