History vs. fiction
The romance and sources confuse the lives of Duke Huan of Chen, Crown Prince Mian, and Duke Fei of Chen (Prince Tuo).
In the official history, the one killed by the people of Cai was Duke Fei of Chen (Prince Tuo), whereas in the romance, the one usurped and murdered by Prince Tuo was Crown Prince Mian. The source mistakenly attributes the deeds of these two to Duke Huan of Chen, which is a serious case of misattribution and confusion of settings.
