Duke Ling of Jin (Chinese: 晉靈公; pinyin: Jìn Líng Gōng), personal name Ji Yigao, was from 620 to 607 BC the duke of the Jin state.
[2] In 607 BC, 14 years after ascending the throne, Duke Ling had reached adulthood and become increasingly despotic.
Zhao Dun, who enjoyed a reputation for integrity and incorruptibility, tried to stop him.
Zhao Dun managed to escape, and on 19 August, his half-brother Zhao Chuan (趙穿) rebelled and killed Duke Ling.
[3] Zhao Dun and Zhao Chuan then installed Duke Ling's uncle, Duke Cheng, on the throne of Jin.
