But at that time, the Western Qi ritual law was that the long pass on the children, and the father could only stop. However, Taber realized his father's intention, and in order to achieve the wishes of his father and avoid the scourge of dragon snake dispute, he decided to let him stay in the third brother Ji Li, and persuaded Zhongyong, his second brother, to leave Zhou Yuan.
