History vs. fiction
In the official history, Luan Shu assassinated Duke Li of Jin and welcomed Duke Dao to restore the state of Jin, while the novel fully dramatizes the internal strife of Jin.
According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Chapter on the House of Jin, Duke Li of Jin exterminated the three Xi, and the ministers 'Luan Shu and Zhonghang Yan assassinated Duke Li,' then welcomed Prince Zhou to succeed as Duke Dao of Jin. In the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, Chapter 57, 'Luan Shu' and Zhonghang Yan, fearing that Duke Li would kill them, conspired to assassinate the duke and welcome Prince Zhou. The process of regicide and usurpation of power is completely consistent with the official history.
