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.
