公孙无知 / Gongsun Wuzhi
公孙无知 / Gongsun Wuzhi enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》75-2丨“穷奢极侈”的祖师爷管仲 as the figure who kills 齐襄公 and briefly seizes power in 齐国. His own killing by the people creates the power vacuum that brings 姜小白 / 齐桓公 and 公子纠 back from exile-like safety bases to contest the throne.
The episode uses him as a transition device: Qi’s court scandal does not end with the ruler’s death, but turns into a succession crisis that determines whether 管仲 remains a defeated partisan or becomes the architect of Qi reform.
