In 296 BC, King Huai of Chu died in prison in the state of Qin, and it was a break with the friendship of Qin and Chu. King Qingxiang originally wanted to avenge King Huai, but the aristocratic ministers led by Zilan in the court all asked to surrender in order to protect themselves, coupled with the increasing prosperity of the Qin State, and the Xiaoyong generals such as Bai Qi, in the end, in order to protect himself, he had to give up the idea of revenge, and even pushed the Chu State to an extremely humiliating position.

Although the king was willing to surrender, the people of Chu were resolutely opposed, they believed that the death of King Chu Huai in Qin had caused them great humiliation, and if they surrendered, then Chu would be completely disgraced, and they would no longer have any qualifications to stand on the territory of the seven kingdoms to compete for hegemony.

The life and death of a person is naturally the most important thing, but the majesty of the country can make people put life and death aside.

It's a pity that although the people have such an awareness, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are all based on their own interests, and they don't know what the majesty of the country is. Greed and cowardice bring them to their knees, let them show weakness, let them rot between power and wealth. They are willing to use the mountains and rivers of Chu to please Qin, as long as they can exchange it for long-term glory and wealth.

In this way, they tried every means to eradicate all people and things that might destabilize their identity and status. The poor are certainly not to be feared, but one man, this alone, is enough to pose a threat to them all.

This person's name is Qu Yuan.

He was so smart, so smart that he easily saw the crux of Chu's inability to unify the six kingdoms. If it weren't for the fact that King Chu Huai was not firm enough, then the change initiated by him would definitely weaken the rights and status of these people, and make the Chu State undergo earth-shaking changes.

He is also too persistent, so persistent that even after being deposed and exiled, and even after suffering countless upheavals and injustices, he still puts his ideals and aspirations on the prosperity of Chu and the wish that Chu will dominate the world.

Compared with the fierce and brutal Qin army, Qu Yuan is actually a more terrifying existence for their group of princes and nobles. Because as long as they show a little weakness, the Qin State can continue to let them continue to enjoy this stable and luxurious life, but if Qu Yuan does not die, they can only be afraid forever, carefully living in the reality that may collapse at any time, and they will not be able to live in peace for a moment.

Therefore, they had to give up their conscience and once again cause people to slander Wang Jin, causing the king to exile Qu Yuan.

This is the second time that Qu Yuan has been exiled, the first time is because his changes affected the interests of the noble princes, and they used despicable means to provoke the relationship between King Huai and Qu Yuan, so that King Huai was dissatisfied with Qu Yuan, so he demoted him to exile. And this time, his insistence still affected the interests of the noble princes, although the people on the throne of Chu changed, but the result was still the same.

Qu Yuan's heart was cold.

He is no longer the young man who is full of enthusiasm just for the Chu State to be able to dominate the world, after experiencing the law change and war, he began to understand that unifying a country is a simple matter, but it is too difficult to unite everyone's hearts together. During this period, he thought about giving up like this countless times, but after many entanglements, he still chose to persevere.

This is the country he loves, and there are people who depend on this country to survive, and if he gives up, what will they do?

War is not selective about protecting anyone, it is cruel, but it is also fair. That's why he has always insisted, hoping to use his hand to protect those innocent families.

But this time, he really didn't want to hold on any longer. He began to admit that he alone could not save the rotten torso of this towering tree, and he must also admit that this powerful and capable court had already given up the dignity of the country and the lives of innocent people. And for this, he Qu Yuan has long been powerless to return to the sky.
