In the struggle for hegemony among the great princely powers, the large powers annexed the smaller ones and expanded the land. However, the princes of the great powers had to divide the newly acquired land to the meritorious doctors. The doctor's power has grown.
There are also frequent struggles between them. The contradictions in the major countries have become acute, and they all want to temporarily stop the war for hegemony.
For this reason, the Song State doctor Xiang Shu (pronounced ù ran between the Jin and Chu states as a mediator.
In BC, the Jin and Chu states, as well as several other countries, held a "conference on the armies" (弭音ǐ, 弭兵 means to stop the war) in the Song state. At this meeting, the doctors of the Jin State and the Chu State made peace and made an alliance on behalf of the two groups in the north and south. It was stipulated that except for the two large foreign countries of Qi and Qin, all small countries should pay the same tribute to Jin and Chu.
The two countries of Jin and Chu divided the hegemony equally, and there was no major war for more than 50 years.
After King Chuping, the grandson of King Chu Zhuang, ascended the throne, the state of Chu gradually declined. In BC, King Chuping wanted to abolish the original crown prince. At this time, Prince Jian and his teacher Wu Hao were guarding the city father (in the west of Xiangcheng, Henan).
King Chuping was afraid that Wu Hao would not agree, so he first called Wu Hao and falsely said that Prince Jian was plotting rebellion.

Wu Zixu [1], a doctor of Wu Guo in the late Spring and Autumn Period, was one of the most written figures in Chinese history books, and was originally a historical celebrity. From the perspective of China's tomb robbery cultural history, he is also a heavyweight. Not to mention digging people's tombs, he also has to hold a leather whip and vent at the corpse, which can be described as the most vicious gravedigger.
Wu Zixu Wu Zixu was enshrined in Shendi, so it is also called Shenxu. He was originally from Chu (his home was in the area of Lailong Town, Suqian City). After entering Wu, he assisted the king of Wu, repaired the legal system to appoint meritocracy, rewarded farmers and merchants with real warehouses, and governed the city to set up garrisons.
Wu Zixu has been associated with many celebrities in Chinese history, such as Gou Jian, King of Yue, Sun Wu, Fan Li, Xi Shi, etc. Sun Wu was proficient in the art of war, and was recommended by Wu Zixu as a general of Wu State, so he became famous all over the world; Xi Shi, one of the "four beauties" in Chinese history, and Wu Zixu's grievances are also very famous, when Wu Zixu suggested killing the Yue King Goujian, but the lustful King Wu did not listen, Fan Li then resorted to the "beauty plan", dedicated Xi Shi to the King of Wu, and separated the relationship between the King of Wu and Wu Zixu, resulting in Wu Zixu being killed. Died of the state of Wu.
Wu Zixu became a famous poacher in Chinese history because of his hatred with King Chuping before he left Wu. According to the "Zuo Biography", in 522 BC (the twenty-third year of King Jing of Zhou), because he was framed by Fei Wuji, the young prince of Chu, his father and brother were killed by King Chuping, and Wu Zixu was forced to flee from Wu State, vowing to bring down Chu State in order to avenge his hatred. In 506 BC, after Sun Wu broke through the city of Chu and completed the status of King Wu as the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period", Wu Zixu also found an opportunity to avenge the murder of his father and brother.
It is said that the first thing Wu Zixu wanted to do after entering Chu was to find the tomb of King Chuping, who died not long ago. I didn't find it after looking for a day, because King Chuping ordered all the craftsmen involved in the construction of the tomb to be killed in order to prevent the mausoleum site from being known. After the guidance of an old craftsman who escaped by luck, Wu Zixu successfully dug up the tomb of King Chuping, dug up his corpse, whipped him to relieve his hatred, and whipped it three hundred times before he stopped, which is the allusion of "three hundred whipping corpses".
Another theory is that Wu Zixu caught King Chu Zhao, the son of King Chu Ping, tortured him, and forced him to tell the whereabouts of his father's tomb, and Wu Zixu succeeded. This matter is also recorded in the "Historical Records", but Sima Qian felt that Wu Zixu's behavior was excessive, saying that "resentment is very bad to people". Modern academic circles have also triggered the controversy of "whipping corpses" and "whipping graves", believing that Wu Zixu did not whip the corpse at all, but only whipped the tomb of King Liangping.
The tomb of King Chuping no longer exists, and the history books do not record this matter thoroughly, and the truth of the matter is a historical mystery that can never be solved.

He endured the humiliation and burden, and in the end it seemed that he had killed his original emperor.
Wu Zixu's friend Sun Wu.
Sun Wu, the word Shaoqing, the ancestors respectfully called him Sun Tzu and Sun Wuzi.

In my opinion, Wu Zixu started from the life of running away from the end of the world, and finally persuaded Wu to defeat the invincible Chu State in one fell swoop, and caught his enemy to take revenge, and the world was shocked from then on, what a majestic and admirable feat! >>>More

Wu Zixu's father Wu Yuan and elder brother Wu Shang were killed in the state of Chu, and Wu Zixu escaped to the state of Wu by luck, vowing to destroy the state of Chu in order to avenge the hatred of the sect.
Wu Zixu was obviously born in Chu and grew up in Chu, and he wanted to lead Wu to destroy Chu because he wanted to avenge his father's death. At that time, the emperor of Chu was a very brutal person, and then because of the prince's incident, Wu Zixu's father was affected. The revenge of killing one's father, no matter which country you are born in, needs to be avenged, and you can't give up your family because of the country, so you will feel that you don't feel like it, and in ancient times, filial piety was very important. >>>More
