公子彭生
公子彭生 is the Qi figure whom 109.闲聊左传之春秋运动会！ nominates for combat sports. The episode retells the scandal in which Wen Jiang’s affair with Qi Xiang Gong leads to Lu Huan Gong’s death while being helped into a carriage by Pengsheng.
The source uses the Gongyang-tradition version that Pengsheng breaks Lu Huan Gong’s ribs, which makes the athletic joke possible. It also emphasizes his political role as scapegoat: Lu cannot realistically punish Qi directly, so the demand that Pengsheng be executed lets interstate anger be managed through one expendable body.
《资治通鉴·周纪》75-2丨“穷奢极侈”的祖师爷管仲 retells the same underlying Qi-Lu scandal in compressed form while setting up 管仲’s rise. The episode says 齐襄公 has 鲁桓公 killed and then kills the immediate killer; this page keeps Pengsheng as the named related figure from the earlier 《左传》 branch rather than forcing the newer source to name him.
