"Respect the king and resist foreign aggression", respect: respect. Prosperity, exclusion, resistance. The original intention of this allusion is to respect Zhou Wang as the master of the Central Plains and resist the nomadic people in the north. Later, it became synonymous with the formation of a national United front in the face of foreign invasion.

After Qi Huangong took office, with the assistance of Guan Zhong, he carried out reforms in internal affairs, economy, military and other aspects, gained a solid material foundation and military strength, and duly played the banner of "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries". As a vassal, he praised the emperor as a vassal.

"Respecting the king" means respecting Zhou Wang's power and maintaining the patriarchal clan system in the Zhou Dynasty. In 655 BC, King Hui of Zhou had the intention of setting up another prince. From the beginning, princes and princes should be gathered to form an alliance with Zhou, so as to determine the orthodox status of the prince. The following year, because he fled first, he led the Coalition forces to crusade against Zheng. A few years later, Qi Huangong led kings of many countries to form an alliance with doctors sent by King Xiang of Zhou, and established the throne of King Xiang of Zhou. In 65 1 year BC, emperors such as Lu, Song, Cao and Zhou Wang were summoned to slaughter Confucius in Kwai Qiu. On behalf of King Zhou, Duke Zai of Zhou officially appointed Qi Huangong as the governor. In the autumn of the same year, Qi Huangong presided over the Kwai Chung Alliance as the overlord. After that, it will demand and stop any violation of the authority of the Zhou royal family.

"Resisting foreigners" is to resist the intrusion of nomadic tribes Rong, Di and Nan Chu beyond the Great Wall on the governors of the Central Plains. In 664 BC, Dan Rong cut Yan, and the Qi army saved Yan. In 66 1 year BC, he attacked Xing, adopted Guan Zhong's suggestion of "please save Xing", repelled Di Bing who destroyed Xing, and established a new capital for Xing. The following year, Tijen attacked Wei and was killed. Qi Huangong led the vassal states to establish a new capital in Chu to defend the country. After years of hard work, he made a strong counterattack against Chu's repeated northward invasion. By 655 BC, the allied forces invaded Chu, forcing Chu to agree to pay tribute to the Zhou royal family. Chu also expressed his willingness to join the alliance headed by Qi and obey the command of Qi, that is, the Huling Alliance. The war of attacking Chu suppressed the invasion of Chu to the north and protected the countries in the Central Plains.
