After the death of King Chu Ling, he used some means to become the king of Chu. became the later King of Chuping, that is, the King of Chuping who was whipped by Wu Zixu.

Abandon the disease, that is, the general sent by King Chu Ling to destroy the Chen State and the Cai State back then, and Fang Jishi's men were defeated.

At that time, he abandoned his illness and was energetic and very accomplished. Unfortunately! There was a traitor and villain Fei Wuji by his side. Fei Wuji threw himself into the favor of King Chuping, led this Ming monarch astray step by step, and simply let the state of Chu fall.

According to historical records: In 527 BC, Fei Wuji said to King Chuping: Prince Jian can start a family. King Chuping hired the Qin daughter Meng Huan as his wife for the crown prince, and ordered Fei Wuji to go to the Qin State to greet his relatives. Fei Wuji found that Meng Huan was beautiful, and when Meng Huan arrived in Yingdu, Fei Wuji persuaded King Ping to marry himself. King Chuping was lustful, no matter what his son thought, he actually dropped his bag and married Meng Huan as his wife. As a result, King Ping became more fond of Fei Wuji.

In 523 BC, King Chuping adopted Fei Wuji's suggestion and sent the crown prince to guard the city father, in the name of sending the prince to build and manage the Fang City, and the King of Chu Ping himself was in charge of the Fang City. Next year! Fei Wuji falsely accused Prince Jian and Wu Hao of conspiring with Qi, and Jin launched a rebellion for foreign aid. King Chuping believed it to be true, summoned Wu Hao, and interrogated him strictly.

Wu Hao advised King Chuping not to kiss his ministers and thin his flesh and bones, but King Chuping was obsessed, imprisoned Wu Hao, and sent the city father Sima Fenyang to kill Prince Jian.

Fen Yang knew that Prince Jian was innocent, so he secretly sent someone to tell Prince Jian first, and he was not in a hurry to go on the road.

The crown prince fled to the Song Kingdom, and Fen Yang rushed to the city father and asked the city father doctor to escort him to Yingdu to be punished.

King Chuping asked Fenyang: That order came from the mouth of the widow and entered your ears, who leaked it to the crown prince?

Fen Yang said calmly: Yes, the minister. The king once instructed his ministers to serve the prince as they served the king, but although the ministers were not talented, they did not dare to be half-hearted. The ministers carried out the king's previous orders, and could not bear to carry out the king's later orders. The minister let the prince go, and now he regrets it.

King Chuping asked: Then, why do you dare to come to see the widow?

Fen Yang said: The minister did not complete the king's mission, if he did not come, he would disobey the order again, and the minister did not dare.

King Chuping was helpless, and said to Fenyang: Go back to the city father, and be your official as before!

Wu Hao, the father of Wu Zixu.

Wu Hao was slandered by Fei Wuji and was killed by King Chuping together with his eldest son Wu Shang. Wu Zixu fled from Chu to Wu and became a major minister of King Wu and was the founder of Gusu City (Suzhou City).

In 516 BC, King Chuping fell ill and died. At the beginning, King Chuping took the son of the Qin daughter born to the crown prince, and after the death of King Chuping, he became the king, which was King Chu Zhao.

In 506 BC, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu led troops to attack the Chu capital. Wu Zixu dug up the tomb of King Chuping and whipped the corpse of 300 to avenge his father and brother.

Afterward! Wu relied on the strategy of Wu Zixu and others, broke through Chu in the west, defeated Xu, Lu and Qi in the north, and became a hegemon of the princes.

On the Jin side, after the death of Duke Zhao of Jin, the domestic power struggle became more intense.

Because the new monarch's auxiliary ministers are not worried about Fang Jishi, they are not worried about anyone. Outcome! Gradually, the king's power became isolated.

Diplomacy was basically broken, and those small countries that used to rely on the Jin State did not pay attention to their problems, and the Jin State gradually lost the hearts of the people. In this case, the surrounding small countries were all attracted by the Qi State and took refuge in the past.

Therefore! The former five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period suddenly lost two hegemons: the Jin State and the Chu State.

And during this period, the states of Qi and Wu became stronger. Later, the state of Wu went north to defeat other states and became the overlord for a period of time.

And then later! King Gou of Yue took revenge, destroyed the state of Wu, and became the new overlord.

In the past few years, Fang Jishi has rarely left the country of Lu.

Before! Two generations of Jin dukes invited him to do things, and the relationship with the Jin State was just. Right now! The new Jin Gong didn't worry about him, he didn't hang him, and he was still guarding against him. So! He can't go to the Jin Kingdom, and he won't go.

On the side of Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there are sons and sons who protect King Zhou Jing, and they are safe and sound for the time being. King Zhou Jing secretly carried out the transfer of power and let the crown prince take over the relevant affairs. In order to express himself, the crown prince Ji Meng did everything himself. So! There is nothing important to ask Fang Jishi for.

Now Fang Jishi occasionally goes to Ji Pingzi's house and drinks tea with Ji Pingzi and others. His son Fang Zhong did not disappoint him, he was cautious in the Ji Mansion, and he was very likeable. Coupled with Ji Pingzi's protection, no one dared to frame him.

In addition to going to Ji's Mansion, Fang Jishi's other place to go is Lu Palace, and occasionally go to meet Lu Zhaogong.

The current Lu Zhaogong, with the growth of age and experience, has become more and more means, and dares to fight against Ji Pingzi and others, and his power has also developed, to the point where he can compete with Ji Pingzi and others. But the more this happened, the more Fang Jishi didn't dare to get too close to him, so as not to cause trouble.

The cornerstone of the current square is to become more and more fond of children. A son was indirectly taken hostage by Ji Pingzi, and he couldn't rest assured of the other children. So! More time, he was in Qufu City.

Other than that! There is another thing worth mentioning: Fang Jishi and Confucius became in-laws.

Originally! When the two concubines were pregnant, they set up a baby kiss with the Qi Guan's family, and they were married. But later! Because the Qi Guan family accidentally did not save the fetus, Fang Jishi did not dare to mention the marriage contract again.

Qi Guan's family was born prematurely and died young, and Meng Pi sent his daughter over to raise her. So! Fang Jishi's two concubines did not dare to mention the marriage contract for the sake of taboo.

But! The matter was so coincidental that Qi Guan's had to bring it up again, first.

Since Confucius set up a private school in Qufu City, the two families have lived separately. So! A rare meeting. Once they meet, the kids go crazy together.

Just two years ago, Qi Guan took Kong Li to the countryside to visit Fang Jishi's two concubines, as well as Fang Qin and Fang Jian. This year, Fang Zhong has come to Qufu City to go to school and lives in the school of Confucius's family.

This day! Kong Carp took Fang Qin and Fang Jian to play in the wild, but accidentally Fang Qin was bitten by a poisonous snake. Although the person was rescued, Fang Qin fell asleep for half a month.

In modern language, he almost became a vegetative state.

Fortunately, Confucius was a teacher in Qufu City and knew many people, so he invited Lao Langzhong to save Fang Qin. Coupled with Fang Jishi's relationship with Lu Zhaogong and Ji Pingzi, the best medicine in the treasury of Lu State could also be obtained, which saved Fang Qin.

Therefore! Qi Guan's family made a decision to accept Fang Qin as his daughter-in-law.

Fang Jishi and Confucius didn't agree very much, but the Qi Guan clan decided, and they didn't say much. That's it! Kong Li and Fang Qin had a marriage contract.

What Confucius thought, I don't know. Anyway! Fang Jishi was worried about whether Fang Qin's body could really get better. Outcome! Fang Qin is getting better, as healthy as his sister Fang Jian, everything is normal. But finally! Still something went wrong.
