After Chu Huaiwang, the father of King Xiang of Chu, listened to the slanderers and exiled Qu Yuan, he not only lost the advantage of sweeping the world, including the whole world, but also was hit by Qin State year after year and never recovered. Finally, he was detained by Qin and died. At the beginning of Chu Xiang's accession to the throne, he was also not enterprising. He indulged in debauchery all day, stole peace and refused to listen to his adviser's advice. As a result, even Yan, Ying, Wu, Shangcai and Chen were lost, so they had to flee to Chengyang and live a peaceful life. Then he stamped his foot regretfully and said to the adviser Zhuang Xinmen with a snot and tears:

"I can't use my husband's words As for this, what can I do? "

Zhuang Xin is another capable minister of Chu after Qu Yuan. He is not satisfied with Wang Xiang's fatuity and ignorance, but he thinks of the suffering people and country of Chu, and his heart of serving the country remains unchanged, and he still hopes that Chu will be strong again. Therefore, he gave Wang Xiang a kind and thoughtful advice.

"I have heard the saying:' It's not too late to see a rabbit and set an eagle; It is never too late to mend. "I have also heard that in the history of the Tang Dynasty, King Wu prospered the country with a land of hundreds of miles and died relying on heaven. Although Chu is weak today, it has thousands of miles of land, big and small. Isn't it far better than a hundred miles? "

King Xiang of Chu was shocked and ashamed after hearing this. He felt a lot and was speechless for a while. Zhuang Xin then pushed the boat over with the tide and pulled it together.

"King, haven't you seen a dragonfly? Six feet and four wings, flying between heaven and earth, pecking mosquitoes for food when hungry, and drinking them with dew when thirsty, thinking that they are harmless and uncontroversial with people. I don't want to be trapped and played by urchins with glue lines and eventually become food for ants. "

King Chu Xiang listened quietly, afraid to make any noise or even breathe loudly.

"Dragonflies are small animals, not surprisingly. Where's the yellowbird? It leans on millet particles, perches on lush trees, flutters its wings and wants to fly, thinks it is harmless, has no regrets with others, and does not want to die tragically under the bullets of the great-grandson. "

ChuXiang staring at ZhuangXin, king nodded, ZhuangXin continued:

"The yellowbird is also a small animal. Where is the oriole? Swimming in the rivers and seas, drowning in swamps, eating eel carp, biting ling scales, fighting with its six purlins, while ling Qingfeng, swaying in its height, thinks nothing and does not compete with others. Didn't he end up in the hunter's tripod and the rice on the plate? "

ZhuangXin here, he caught a glimpse of Wang Xiang, see his concentration, he said:

"The matter of the oriole is also a small matter, let's look at Cai. He traveled to Gaopi in the south and Wushan in the north, drinking water from Ruxi and eating fish from Xiangjiang River. He held young concubines on the left and beautiful women on the right, and galloped with them in Gaocai, regardless of the country, and was finally bound by the spirit king. "

This time when it comes to his head, Wang Xiang is a little uncomfortable and agitated, but ZhuangXin pretended not to see him and continued:

"Cai is not worth mentioning. Look at yourself, Zuo Zhouhou, and you, Xiahou. You take Yanling Jun and Shouling Jun to travel around by car, and you live on your salary. There are people who offer gold, silver and jewels at all times, and they ride mountains and rivers with them, regardless of the world and country. Don't miss the great trust of your late king. Didn't you end up in exile in Chengyang? "

This remark made King Xiang of Chu remorseful. When Zhuang Xin looked up at him again, he saw that Xiang Wang was "discolored and trembling." From then on, Wang Xiang began to degenerate, far from being a villain, but to motivate himself and strive to govern the country. Although it did not return to the ancestral territory, it was not quickly destroyed by the state of Qin.
