The king of Chu Gong had many sons, among whom there were five who left their names, namely King Chukang, Wang Ziwei (King Chu Ling), Prince Bi (Zigan), Prince Hei Hu (Zihui), and Prince Qiji (King Chuping). After Jia Ao ascended the throne, Zigan and Zihui were already in the throne, and the two served the king faithfully; At that time, he was still young and did not have a high status, and because he had little weight, he was not very valued by the two parties (Jia Ao and Wang Ziwei).

Before the prince usurped the throne, he had been promoted to a doctor. The behavior of this "little brother" is not very gregarious: his daily course of action is limited to government offices and residences, and most of the people he interacts with are colleagues; He is courteous to anyone, but he is not close or distant from anyone; He almost never invited guests, and he was rarely invited. The Chu people said that he was especially like Chen Gongziwan (the ancestor of the Chen family of Qi State), and he used this kind of "harmless beast" performance to stay out of the turmoil; After King Chu Ling ascended the throne, he promoted him to Shaoqing and was in charge of foreign affairs.

In the autumn, the prince abandoned his illness and was ordered to send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom. He submitted an official document to Zheng Ren, and Zheng Jiangong did not dare to slack off, and asked him to stay in Zheng for a while, so that he could have the opportunity to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. The reply to abandon the illness was simple and polite, he said that he was on official business, and he did not dare to delay the trip or disturb Uncle Zheng.

Zheng Bo insisted on meeting with Qiji, and Qiji reluctantly agreed. Zheng Jiangong, accompanied by Hanhu, Gongsun Qiao, and You Ji, held a banquet in the land to entertain the abandonment of illness. abandoned his illness to see Zheng Jiangong as a gift to King Chu Ling, and gave him eight horses; Seeing Ling Yin's gift to see Hanhu, he sent six horses; to see the great Sima to see Gongsun Qiao, and send four horses; See You Ji sending two horses.

Faced with such a respectful and leaky abandonment, Zheng Guoren even thought that he had seen a fake Chu people.

The Chu state mission was very large, and it required a lot of firewood to build a meal, and a lot of pasture to feed the war horses and pack animals. However, it is forbidden to graze and cut down trees (only with the army), not to destroy farmland and houses, and not to buy and sell Zheng people. When camping, choose wasteland and woodland, and do not disturb the local people. He also issued an order: "Those who dare to disobey orders will be removed from their posts, and villains will be reduced to slaves." "The same is true for the envoys to and from Zheng Guo.

Uncle Zi said: "There are some strange people in the country of Chu! The act of abandoning the disease is different from others, and he is afraid that he will have different ambitions! ”

Zichan said, "Yes, he is showing favor to the princes!" ”

Zipi said: "How can you not have different aspirations if you have a noble status but a low status? ”

Zi Chuan said: "Once the abandonment of illness is successful, the world will truly achieve peace." ”

Last year, when Han Qi and Yang Yu sent an envoy to the Chu State, the Chu people did not greet him in the territory, and this time he abandoned his illness and came to visit, and Jin Pinggong was not ready to greet him in retaliation for the rude behavior of the Chu people. But Shu Xiang persuaded: "The Chu State is evil and our country is righteous, why should the prince follow the example of the evil people?" "Poetry" says: "The teaching of the people is carried out, and the people are effective." 'What's the point of us following our hearts and taking revenge on others?' The book says, 'The holy work is a rule.' Why don't you follow what is good, but what is evil? If a man does good, people will follow suit, let alone a monarch? "Jin Pinggong ordered the sheep tongue to go to the border to meet the abandonment.

Shen Wuyu, the doctor of Chu, is a descendant of Shen Zhou (the one who was later executed by Hua Yuan for offending Song Zhaogong, thus triggering the Chu and Song wars), and his temper is very similar to that of the ancestor in the family who did not die well, and he never gave in even in the face of power.

A few years ago, when Wang Ziwei was still Ling Yin, he "borrowed" Jia Ao's reliance to go out hunting. Shen Wuyu happened to be passing by the hunting ground at that time, and he saw the banner of the king of Chu (the king's flag is nine long, and it is twelve from top to bottom; Ling Yin Qi Chang Qi As a result, what he saw was Lord Wang Ziwei, who was in high spirits, shouting, and dancing with his teeth and claws.

Shen Wuyu was furious, he pulled up the royal flag, drew his sword, cut off the corresponding part of the three banners, and shouted at the prince again: "Ling Yin is really too much! There are two monarchs in a country, can that person endure it? ”

Wang Ziwei didn't make any drastic moves at the time, and he didn't even take revenge on Shen Wuyu after he usurped the throne (perhaps he thought that a brave and upright doctor was exactly what he needed). But soon, Shen Wuyu once again made a bold move that seriously offended the monarch's authority.

It turned out that King Chu Ling requisitioned a large number of people in order to build Zhanghuatai (palace), but the manpower was still insufficient; Under the guise of rewarding freedom, he encouraged slaves to flee in to help with the construction (this trick was really effective, and as a result, a large number of slaves fled to the Zhanghua Palace to seek refuge), and with the help of those free labor, the grand project was completed on time.

The janitor slaves of Shen Wuyu's family also fled into the forbidden land of the royal family. Shen Wuyu didn't care about that, and led people to break into the palace gate to arrest people; The slave was horrified and immediately fled to the side of the Sigong doctor (the general person in charge of the construction site) for protection. So the palace hid him in the stables.

Shen Wuyu asked Si Gong for someone, and Si Gong said: "The master is arresting people in the palace, the crime is really too big!" Master, go back and wait for the king's order. ”

Shen Wuyu was unmoved, pushed open the palace and broke into the stable, finally caught the slave, and took the slave to meet King Chu Ling. King Chu Ling was about to drink at that time, and Shen Wuyu said: "The king governs the world, and the princes govern the fiefdom, this is all an ancient system. Therefore, the poem says: 'Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. And he said, 'I will take care of my territory, and the south and the east will be its acres.' 'There are ten numbers in the heavenly stems, and there are ten in the earth; Serve on the top, worship the ghosts and gods on the top.

"Therefore the king takes the prince as his minister, the prince as the minister, the doctor as the minister, the scholar as the servant, the soap man (the black warrior who has no title but has a post) as the minister, the soap as the servant (the samurai without the title and no post) as the minister, the servant (the sinner) as the minister, the servant (the servant of the three generations) as the minister, and the servant (also known as the companion, the slave who escaped and was captured) as the minister; Below the 10th class there were also horse-keepers and cattle herders. Together, these people can make Pepsi happen.

"Now the palace doctor asked the minister: 'How dare you arrest people in the palace?' If the minister can't catch it in the palace, where will he go? King Wen of Zhou's law said: 'There is death, and there is a desolation (the slave escapes and will be hunted). King Wen of Zhou did not accept sinners and safeguarded the interests of his master, so he won the world. King Wen of Chu Xianjun also formulated the law of the "Servant District", saying: "Whoever hides a thief is guilty of the same crime as a thief." That's why we can expand our land to the Rushui Valley.

"If, according to the palace, the minister will not be able to capture the escaped slave. What is the point of escaping but giving up the arrest, and setting up the level of escort? In the absence of first-class people, isn't there a loophole in the king's affairs? At that time, King Wu of Zhou counted the crimes of the king and said: "The fugitives from all over the world regard the Zhou as their master, like fish gathered in the abyss and beasts gathered in the mountains." So all the slave owners in the world wanted to kill the king.

"How can a king who wants to be the chief of the princes follow the example of the king, and how can he fulfill his wish?"

King Chu Ling said, "Take your slaves back!" If thieves are protected, how can the world get them? ”
