History vs. fiction
Regarding the achievements of Duke Dao of Jin, the novel transferred the event of exterminating Tu'an Gu during the reign of Duke Jing of Jin to him.
In Chapter 59 of Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, it is fictionalized that Duke Dao of Jin executed Tu'an Gu to redress the Zhao family, saying: 'Duke Dao said: "...If I do not exterminate Tu'an Gu today, how can I comfort the wronged souls of the Zhao family underground?"' However, according to the Records of the Grand Historian, 'The Hereditary House of Zhao', the extermination of Tu'an Gu occurred during the reign of Duke Jing of Jin: 'Thereupon Duke Jing plotted with Han Jue to establish the orphan of Zhao... Then they turned against Tu'an Gu with Cheng Ying and Zhao Wu, and exterminated his clan.' The novel rewrites historical facts here.
