Chapter 200 King Xuan of Chu

My charming but short-lived ancestor: But to be honest, King Zhao Wuling was very pitiful. He asked Zhao to change his ways and become stronger, but in the end he starved to death.

Kiritoyu: Yes, so although his son is a good king, he is not a good son.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I agree! But it's a pity that a generation of heroes died so cowardly

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: Alas, it can only be said that time is also fate.
……

Su Yue also sighed and said, "Okay, now let's see King Chu Xuan!"

King Xuan of Chu (? - 340 BC), whose surname was Mi, Xiong, and whose name was Liangfu.

The son of King Chu Miao, the younger brother of King Chu Su, and the king of Chu during the Warring States Period.

In the eleventh year of King Chu Su's reign (370 BC), King Chu Su died.

Because King Chu Su had no children, his younger brother King Chu Xuan succeeded to the throne.

In the thirteenth year of King Xuan of Chu (357 BC), King Xuan of Chu married the daughter of Qin.

In the seventeenth year of King Xuan of Chu (353 BC), he rescued Zhao State and captured the land between Sui and Yi of Wei State.

Afterwards, King Xuan of Chu continued to expand territory and destroyed Cai and Zhu successively, making Chu regain its strength.

In the 340th year of King Xuan of Chu ( BC), Qin invaded Chu southward.

In the same year, King Xuan of Chu died, and his son Xiong Shang came to the throne as King Wei of Chu.

Wuduyu: I remember that Qin girl seemed to be a princess?

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: I guess so? I can’t remember clearly, but King Xuan of Chu is indeed a good king.
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Yes, he has abilities, but unfortunately his opponent is too strong
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Agreed!

Accept advice humbly
In the seventeenth year of King Xuan of Chu (353 BC), Zhao Xixie was appointed as the magistrate of Chu State.

Jiang Yi told King Xuan of Chu: "There was a man who doted on his dog. The dog urinated into the well. His neighbors saw it and wanted to go home to tell him, but the dog blocked the door and bit him.

Now Zhao Xixie often prevents me from coming to see you, just like a vicious dog blocking the door.

Moreover, whenever there is a person who speaks well of others, you should say: 'This is a gentleman! ' Then get close to him; and to those who love to point out the shortcomings of others, you always say: 'This is a villain. ’ Then he distanced himself from him.

However, there are evil people in the world who have sons killing their fathers and ministers killing their monarchs, but you are never aware of it.

why? The reason is that you only like to hear praises of others and don’t like to hear criticisms of others! "

After hearing this, King Xuan of Chu said: "You are right. From now on, I will listen to both sides of the argument."

fox fake tiger power
King Xuan of Chu asked the officials: "I heard that the princes in the north are afraid of Ling Yin Zhao's ridicule. Is this true?"

No one from the ministers answered, so Jiang Yi replied: "The tiger is looking for wild animals to eat to satisfy its hunger. It caught a fox."

The fox said to the tiger: "You dare not eat me. The Emperor of Heaven has appointed me to be in charge of the wild beasts in the forest. If you eat me, you will disobey God's order."

If you don't believe me, I'll walk in front and you follow me. Let's see if any of the animals dares not to run away when they see me. The tiger believed it and walked with the fox. When the animals saw them, they all ran away. The tiger didn't know that the animals were afraid of him and ran away. He thought he was afraid of the fox.

Now the king's territory has a radius of five thousand miles and an army of one million, but Zhao Xixie has sole power.

Therefore, the northern princes are afraid of Zhao Xixie, but they are actually afraid of the king's army, just like a group of animals are afraid of tigers. "Anling Zhishi
Anlingjun was the male favorite of King Xuan of Chu.

Jiang Yi persuaded Lord Anling, saying: "You have not done anything for the Chu State, and you have no relatives to rely on. However, you are in a high position and enjoy a generous salary. When people see you, they always dress up and dress up." Good hat, I salute you respectfully, why are you doing this?”

Lord Anling replied: "This is just because the King of Chu promoted me; otherwise, I would not have achieved this status."

Jiang Yi said: "Use money to interact with others, and when the money runs out, the friendship with others will be severed; use beauty to interact with others, and when the beauty fades, love will be gone.

Therefore, your concubine’s bed was abandoned before the mat was worn out; your favorite minister’s carriage was deposed before it was worn out; now you have sole power in Chu State, but you do not have the capital to form a deep friendship with the King of Chu. , I am very worried about you. "

An Lingjun said: "What should we do?"

Jiang Yi said: "I hope you will ask the King of Chu to die with him and bury him personally. In this way, you will be respected in the Chu Kingdom for a long time."

Lord Anling said: "I respect your teachings."

Three years later, Lord Anling still did not say anything to King Chu.

Jiang Yi paid his respects again and said, "You haven't implemented what I told you so far. Since you don't accept my opinion, I ask not to see you again from now on."

An Lingjun said: "I really dare not forget the teachings my husband gave me, just because I didn't encounter a good opportunity!"

At this time, the King of Chu was about to go hunting in Yunmengze. There were endless groups of carriages and horses, five-color flags covering the sky, wildfires burning like rainbows, and tigers roaring like thunder.

Suddenly, a rhinoceros rushed towards the wheel like a madman. The king of Chu drew his bow and arrow, and shot the rhinoceros to death with one arrow.

The King of Chu casually pulled up a flagpole, caught the rhino's head, looked up to the sky and laughed, saying: "Today's tour is so happy! If I were to be a hundred years later, who would I be able to enjoy this happiness with?"

With tears streaming down his face, Anlingjun stepped forward and said to the King of Chu: "I sit next to you at the banquet in the palace, and ride in the same carriage with you when I go out. A hundred years from now, I am willing to die with you, and I will do the same under the underworld." Your Majesty’s mat will prevent ants from invading you. What could be more joyful than this!”

The King of Chu was very happy after hearing this, and officially named him Lord Anling (a false title, Anling was the title).

When the gentleman heard about this, he said, "Jiang Yi is really good at making plans, and Lord Anling is really good at taking advantage of opportunities."

Auspicious disasters
In the seventh year of King Xuan of Chu (363 BC), it rained jade in Yingdu, and the ground rose by one and a half feet.

It is said that floods occurred in Yingdu this year.

In the seventeenth year of King Xuan of Chu (353 BC), there was a crane flying in the market of Yingdu.

Lu wine is thin and thick
There is an allusion in "Zhuangzi·Xianqi" that "Lu wine is thin and Handan is surrounded".

According to legend, King Xuan of Chu was meeting with the princes for an alliance. Duke Gong of Lu (also known as Duke Gong of Lu) was late and the wine he offered was weak.

King Xuan of Chu was furious and was about to insult him.

Duke Gong of Lu said: "I am a descendant of Zhou Gong, follow Zhou rites, and was canonized by the emperor.

Now it is disrespectful to offer wine to the State of Chu. The king of Chu still cares about the thickness of the wine, which is too much! "

So he left without saying goodbye. King Xuan of Chu was very angry and raised troops to attack Lu.

King Hui of Wei always wanted to conquer Zhao, but was worried that Lu would save Zhao.

Now that Chu and Lu were at war, Wei attacked Zhao and surrounded Handan.
