In the tenth year of King Jian of Zhou (576 BC), because Zheng Guo attacked Xu without authorization, violating the 'alliance of soldiers' that had just been concluded between Jin and Chu, the king of Chu sent Chu Sima Zi to lead the Chu army north to attack Zheng; after Zi led the army to the north, he besieged Zheng State's violent tunnel (Yuanyang, Henan), and then changed the route to attack Weiguo, and fought until the first end (Sui County, Henan).

While Zheng Chenggong, the monarch of Zheng Guoguo, desperately resisted the attack of the Chu army, he also sent the ruling secretary of Zheng State, Shizihan (Gongzixi), to lead the army south, sneak attack the border cities of Chu State, and take advantage of the situation to capture Xinshi on the border of Chu State.

When Chu and Zheng were in a scuffle, another overlord, the Jin State, also wanted to seize this opportunity and sent troops to attack the Chu army; Luan Shu, the ruler of the Jin State, suggested that the monarch of the Jin Dynasty immediately send troops to punish the Chu State for attacking Zheng. Therefore, Jin Ligong specially convened a court meeting and asked the secretaries to discuss together to see how to proceed with the next move.

During the court meeting, Han Ju, the general of the Jin army, persuaded Jin Ligong to wait for the time being, and after the monarchs and ministers of Chu continued to make mistakes, it would not be too late to go on an expedition. In addition, the people of the Jin Kingdom can also recuperate and resume the delayed agricultural affairs, so that the country can accumulate and the military and civilian people recover; At that time, it will not be too late to send troops and fight for hegemony with the Chu State.

At the same time, Zuo Shixie, a member of the Chinese army who participated in the Korean meeting, also expressed his agreement with Han Ju's opinion and postponed the dispatch of troops. However, the members of the Jin family's Yin family (郤錡, 郤zhi, 郤犨), who also participated in the court meeting, actively supported the opinion of the Chinese army general Luan Shu and demanded that troops be sent to fight the Chu army as soon as possible.

The reason why the Yin clan wanted to encourage the Duke of Jin Li to launch a war against the Chu State was because the war could strengthen the current power and status of the Yin clan in the Jin State; Only when the war breaks out, the talents of the members of the Hao family in combat can come in handy, and the Yin family can also expand their power by virtue of the victory in the war.

When the two sides of the argument were at loggerheads, Bozong, an old minister of the Jin State who also attended the court meeting, came forward to persuade Jin Ligong, expressing his agreement with Han Ju and Shixie's opinion of 'temporarily ceasing troops to wait for the future', and resolutely opposing the resolution of the Yin clan to 'send troops to attack Chu'; he also suggested to Jin Ligong, saying that although Zheng Guo is our ally, Chu State's attack on Zheng is famous (Zheng Guo attacked Xu State first), and it is not rude to Jin State. The Jin State could send envoys to the Chu State to negotiate with the Chu monarchs and ministers without having to meet on the battlefield; The Jin State could not be coerced and swayed by the selfishness of Zheng Guo's monarchs and ministers.

After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Jin Ligong felt that the action of sending troops to fight against the Chu army was indeed of little help to restore the country's vitality and accumulate military strength, and it would also delay important agricultural affairs; As a result, Jin Ligong made a decision - to postpone sending troops to aid Zheng and instead focus on preparing for this year's agricultural affairs, so that the people could rest and accumulate supplies; After recovering and recuperating in spirit, the next military action plan will be carried out. In addition, the Duke of Jin Li sent an army to send Xun Fu as an envoy to the state of Chu to 'demand' the king of Chu to abide by the previous truce and withdraw his troops from the state of Zheng.

Chu and Zheng, who were still fighting, could not wait for reinforcements sent by Jin to support (Zheng State), and the logistical supply lines were harassed by the opponent all the time, and the border cities were also captured (Chu State), and the combat situation was in a very unfavorable situation; Therefore, Chu and Zheng invariably withdrew their troops at the same time, ending the confrontation between the two countries.

With the final decision of the Duke of Jin Li, the Yin family's intention to send troops to fight against Chu in order to achieve more military exploits, thereby expanding the Yin family's greater power within the Jin State failed; For the lord and Han Ju and Shi Xie, the three He (郤錡, 郤zhi, 郤犨) did not dare to offend too much, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the Yin family.

And the doctor Bozong who has the same opinion as Han Ju and Shixie, Sanhe is not so polite - if even a single Bozong can't be disposed of, then the status and power of the Yin family in the Jin State in the future can no longer be maintained, and other Qingshi families (such as the Luan family and the Zhongxing family) who are interested in dealing with the Yin family will also be ready to erode and squeeze out the interests of the Yin family, which has greatly reduced deterrence, and obtain greater benefits in the new round of extravagant Qing tilting in the Jin State.

Therefore, after failing to achieve the goal of sending troops to attack Chu, Sanhe was full of resentment towards Bozong for 'bad things'; not long after, in the internal affairs of the Yin family, the current head of the Yin family, Yin Qian, began to prepare to attack Bozong, and he first raised questions about Bozong, saying:

"Bozong, this old fellow, why does he repeatedly oppose our opinions, and every time he is about to use troops with the Chu State, he will stand up and contradict it?"

There is actually a reason for this question about Bozong - that year, that is, in the twelfth year of King Zhou Ding (595 BC), Chu envoy Shenzhou passed through the Song State on the way to Qi and was killed by the Song people, in order to avenge Shenzhou, King Chu Zhuang immediately launched an army to attack Song in September. Song Wengong, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, sent an envoy to Jin Jinggong for help; In response to the Song State's request for help, Jin Jinggong was initially prepared to fulfill the duties of the alliance leader and send troops to aid the Song Dynasty; But at this time, Bozong, who was a close confidant of Jin Jinggong, stepped in to stop Jin Jinggong, and successfully stopped Jin Jinggong's plan to aid Song with the statement that "no matter how long the horse's whip is, it can't reach the bottom of the horse's belly" (that is, the origin of the idiom 'the whip is beyond reach').

For the last time Bozong tried to persuade Jin Jinggong not to start a war against Chu, he had a deep memory of Xin Qian, who was already a doctor in the army at that time, and Xin Zhi and Xin Li, who had not yet entered the court, were also very impressed by this matter; And this time, it was Bozong who prevented Sanhe's attempt to start a war with the Chu State in order to obtain military benefits, so Yin Zhi, who participated in the family meeting, also hatefully echoed Yin's words, saying:

"Bozong can't be a spy of the Chu State, right? If this is true, then he is too hateful! ”

Not to be outdone, he continued to mend the knife and said:

"If it were true, then the old fellow's sin would be great; However, we must have sufficient evidence before we can report to the king to punish this traitor. ”

Coincidentally, in May of the seventh year of King Jian of Zhou (579 BC), after the Jin and Chu countries reached the (first) 'alliance of soldiers', the Jin pedestrians who handled the affairs of the alliance on behalf of the Jin State and traveled back and forth between the Jin and Chu countries were Bozong's best doctors, Luan Fuji.

Although Luan Fuji is the same clan of Luan Shu and a branch of the Luan family, he and Bozong have similar personalities and like-mindedness, and they also rely on each other in the court of the Jin Kingdom and have a close relationship. Therefore, Yin Qian took it for granted that Luan Fuji was the intermediary contact between Bozong and the Chu State in private interactions, profit-seeking, and even 'betrayal'.

'If you want to add sin, there is no excuse for any trouble' (although there is no such idiom at this time, but the meaning is the same), the Yin clan wants to frame Bozong, and with the power in their hands, they will definitely be able to do it.

In particular, after Bozong succeeded to the throne of Jin Ligong, he still followed the practice of serving Jin Jinggong before, and constantly admonished Jin Ligong, asking Jin Ligong to be like the ancestor Jinggong, be strict with himself and diligent in governing the country, and be an heir worthy of his ancestors. Although Jin Li Gong is not a mediocre and inactive faint king, he is not a thrifty and humble Ming Jun, and the history books have repeatedly recorded Jin Ligong's "extravagant, extravagant" behavior. Therefore, Jin Ligong may have been disgusted with Bozong's 'nagging' for a long time, that is, for the sake of his father's old minister's face, Jin Ligong did not turn his face against Bozong.

And Bozong didn't feel that Jin Ligong was alienated and hated him, and he still took the trouble to 'admonish' him, asking the monarch to pay attention to the government and be wary of those extravagant families who held great power.

At this time, in the Jin court, the biggest extravagant family was the Yin family - in addition to the 'three he' who served as the general of the army, the new general, and the new army, the son of the new army, the son of the emperor, and the younger brother of the emperor, the younger brother of the emperor, also entered the court and served as the military doctor;

Bozong really couldn't see that the Hao clan held so much power, and he was worried that the power of the public office would be lost, so he kindly repeatedly made suggestions to Jin Ligong, saying:

"The Yin clan is powerful and powerful, and they have many positions in the court, and for the sake of stabilizing the temple community, the monarch should still suppress their power and status a little; This is good for the Jin Kingdom, and it is also good for the Yin family. ”

But Jin Ligong is now very disgusted with Bozong, not only did he not accept his kind advice, but inadvertently, he told Sanhe everything Bozong said to him (maybe it was intentional). Therefore, the Yin family's jealousy and disgust for Bozong deepened again.

It can be seen from this that even if there was no plan for Bozong to later oppose the 'sending troops to attack Chu' demanded by the Yin clan, the 'Sanhe' would have hated Bozong deeply; not only did he prevent the expansion interests of the Yin clan, but also secretly made a small report to the monarch behind his back to suppress the power of the Hao family, which was unbearable for anyone.

At that time, after learning that his father had repeatedly admonished the monarch to limit the power of the Xu clan, Bo Zhouli, the son of Bozong, had already felt that it would be dangerous to go on like this, so he persuaded his father several times, asking him to be careful and not to have a head-on conflict with the Xin clan, which would bring trouble to the family; But Bozong didn't care, and still went his own way and insisted on his own 'public discussion' move.

In the tenth year of King Jian of Zhou (576 BC), in order to completely eliminate Bozong, a 'political enemy' who made the Yin clan unstable, the 'Sanhe' headed by Yin Qian suddenly made a joint appeal to the Duke of Jin Li after a long period of planning, saying that Bozong colluded with Luan Fuji and privately communicated with the Chu State, and was suspected of 'Tongchu';

Jin Ligong didn't treat Bozong very well, and Bozong's usual performance was indeed a little 'fluttering and inflated', relying on the identity of the former monarch's cronies and old ministers of the two dynasties to repeatedly point fingers in front of him, this time it is good to teach him a lesson, so that he can be more restrained and low-key in the future. As a result, Jin Li Gong ordered Bozong to be imprisoned and investigated for the 'crimes' he had been accused of by Sanhe.

Although the other scholars and doctors in the court did not agree with the 'crime' of Bozong put forward by the Yin family, the other ministers were not willing to turn their faces against the Yin family for the sake of Bozong, and to prove that Bozong did not have a 'Tongchu', it also needs to have actual evidence, but now there is no empirical evidence to prove that Bozong did not have private relations with the Chu State, and this time, it is difficult for Bozong to get rid of the crime.

At that time, Jin Ligong didn't have the idea of putting Bozong to death (Sanhe did), he just wanted to teach this old minister who couldn't distinguish priorities and the situation well; But it so happened that after Bozong was imprisoned, his son Bozhou Li was very afraid, for the safety of the family, so Bozhou Li escaped from the Jin Kingdom with the help of his father's friend Bi Yang and went to take refuge in foreign countries.

The children of the public offices of other countries and members of the nobility, once there was a danger of endangering their lives in the country, they would flee from their mother country and go to other countries for temporary refuge, depending on the future situation, and then decide whether to return to China (such as Song Zhuang Gong, the first monarch of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Wen Gong, and Sun Linfu, the great doctor of the Wei Kingdom, etc.).

But the bad thing is that the country where Bozhou ploughed and went to take refuge was not the other allies and princes of the Jin State, but - the Chu State! This makes it even more unclear.

So, 'Sanhe' seized this God-given opportunity and played to Jin Ligong, saying that Bozong let his son flee to Chu State, which was obviously their family and Chu State secretly colluded for a long time, and Bozong was conclusive evidence for the crime of 'throwing himself into Chu and collaborating with the enemy'.

Jin Ligong didn't expect to make such a scene in the end, and at the same time, his perception of Bozong's father and son was also bad; Therefore, the angry Jin Li Gong took Sanhe to the prison cell where Bozong was imprisoned, and asked Bozong to explain and defend himself against Bozhou's escape from Chu.

In the end, in anger, Bozong bit off his tongue and spit out the bloody tongue in front of Sanhe, in order to prove his innocence and innocence.

Jin Ligong was also deeply shocked by Bozong's astonishing behavior, and then leaned over to pick up the half of his tongue, and then put it in the sleeve robe of Yin Qi who was standing aside, and then sighed and said to Bozong who was sitting on the ground with a mouth full of blood:

"There really is!"

then turned around and left (Jin Ligong didn't know what to do with Bo Zong, so he could only abandon it; And throwing Bozong's tongue into the sleeve of the man, Jin Ligong also used this to implicitly show that people are so tragic in order to prove their innocence, you don't have to chase after it anymore).

But after Jin Ligong left, Sanhe, who stayed in the prison cell, still refused to give up, and he took out the half of Bozong's tongue that Jin Ligong left in his sleeve robe, threw it to the ground, and then crushed the stump tongue with his foot, and then arrogantly provoked Bozong who was already speechless: "How did you spit out this tongue before, how do you swallow it now!" ”

Seeing this, Bo Zong knew that 'Sanhe' would never let go of himself, so after laughing silently for a while with a mouthful of blood in his mouth, he resolutely stood up, and then turned his head and slammed into the wall of the prison cell with all his might.

After Bozong committed suicide, Sanhe replied to Jin Ligong that the traitor Bozong had committed suicide in fear of crime, and demanded that his fellow party Luan Fuji be investigated for the crime; In view of the fact that Bozong was dead, and the role of Sanhe and even the Yin family in the country was still very large, and it needed to be reused, he agreed with them and arrested Luan Fuji and put him to death. This is the historical "difficulty of Luan Fuji" (perhaps it is more appropriate to call it 'Bozong's difficulty'; and whether Luan Shu, the head of the Luan family and the general of the Chinese army at the time, began to resentment and jealousy of the Lu family because of this, it is all clear to look at the historical process of the later Jin Kingdom).

After Bozong was framed by Sanhe and even committed suicide unjustly, the government and the opposition of the Jin State were full of sympathy and pity for this loyal minister who dared to speak out, and they were full of contempt and contempt for the powerful minister 'Sanhe', among which Han Ju's view was the most representative - he said:

"He's here, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid disasters in the future! Good people are the reason why heaven and earth exist, and the Xun clan has killed them many times, if they don't perish, then what are you waiting for! ”

However, the practice of 'being arrogant and rude to the outside world, greedy and aggressive, jealous of the virtuous and capable of being able to frame colleagues internally' is to make the Jin Zhongjun Zuo Shixie worried, and he once tirelessly and repeatedly pointed out to the Jin Li Gong that the country's calamity has become more and more serious, to the point where it cannot be ignored - the reason why 'if the outside is peaceful, there must be internal trouble'; the Yin clan is about to become the most important cause of the next internal strife in the Jin State because of the various arrogant and illegal practices of his family members.

On the Chu side, the king of Chu was also very surprised that Bozhou Li suddenly fled to Chu and that Bozong was forced to commit suicide by Jin Ligong, and was angry that Bozong was framed as a 'Chu spy' (if it was true, then it would be good, now that it is like this, of course the king of Chu is angry). So, after settling the Bozhou plow, the king of Chu Gong specially summoned Sima Zi to come and ask his opinion on this matter.

And Zi Yan simply replied to the king of Chu Gong:

"The minister dares to vouch that there is no such thing! Saying that Dr. Bozong 'surrendered to Chu and betrayed Jin' is all untrue words of the Hao family; ”

Bozong was quite famous when he was alive, and he was full of scheming, and contributed a lot of strength to the hegemony of Jin Jinggong; Therefore, the king of Chu believed that his son Bozhou Li would also be a virtuous minister who would establish meritorious deeds for the state of Chu in the future; Therefore, the king of Chu Gong happily gave the Bozhou plough who came to take refuge as the doctor of the Chu State, and he will serve the Chu State from now on.

After that, Bozhou Li stayed in the Chu State, served several generations of Chu kings, and gradually rose to the rank of the Dazai of the Chu State, which can be regarded as entering the ranks of the top nobles of the Chu State. In the second year of Bozhou ploughing to Chu, that is, in the 'Battle of Yanling' in June of the eleventh year of King Jian of Zhou (575 BC), Bozhou Li, as an 'old minister of the Jin State', explained the battlefield layout and marching plan of the opposite Jin army to the king of Chu on the battlefield, and gave advice to fulfill the duty of a courtier.

And Bozong's great-grandson, the grandson of Bozhou Li, is also a well-known figure in history, that is, in the early stage, he did his best to assist two generations of Wu kings and husbands to achieve hegemony, and in the later period, because of jealousy and jealousy, framing the able minister Wu Zixu, the Wu State Dazai - Bo Yao. And why Bo Yao became the Dazai of Wu from a courtier of Chu State, and what happened to Bo Shi in Chu State, this is another story. In the tenth year of King Jian of Zhou (576 BC), because Zheng Guo attacked Xu without authorization, violating the 'alliance of soldiers' that had just been concluded between Jin and Chu, the king of Chu sent Chu Sima Zi to lead the Chu army north to attack Zheng; after Zi led the army to the north, he besieged Zheng State's violent tunnel (Yuanyang, Henan), and then changed the route to attack Weiguo, and fought until the first end (Sui County, Henan).

While Zheng Chenggong, the monarch of Zheng Guoguo, desperately resisted the attack of the Chu army, he also sent the ruling secretary of Zheng State, Shizihan (Gongzixi), to lead the army south, sneak attack the border cities of Chu State, and take advantage of the situation to capture Xinshi on the border of Chu State.

When Chu and Zheng were in a scuffle, another overlord, the Jin State, also wanted to seize this opportunity and sent troops to attack the Chu army; Luan Shu, the ruler of the Jin State, suggested that the monarch of the Jin Dynasty immediately send troops to punish the Chu State for attacking Zheng. Therefore, Jin Ligong specially convened a court meeting and asked the secretaries to discuss together to see how to proceed with the next move.

During the court meeting, Han Ju, the general of the Jin army, persuaded Jin Ligong to wait for the time being, and after the monarchs and ministers of Chu continued to make mistakes, it would not be too late to go on an expedition. In addition, the people of the Jin Kingdom can also recuperate and resume the delayed agricultural affairs, so that the country can accumulate and the military and civilian people recover; At that time, it will not be too late to send troops and fight for hegemony with the Chu State.

At the same time, Zuo Shixie, a member of the Chinese army who participated in the Korean meeting, also expressed his agreement with Han Ju's opinion and postponed the dispatch of troops. However, the members of the Jin family's Yin family (郤錡, 郤zhi, 郤犨), who also participated in the court meeting, actively supported the opinion of the Chinese army general Luan Shu and demanded that troops be sent to fight the Chu army as soon as possible.

The reason why the Yin clan wanted to encourage the Duke of Jin Li to launch a war against the Chu State was because the war could strengthen the current power and status of the Yin clan in the Jin State; Only when the war breaks out, the talents of the members of the Hao family in combat can come in handy, and the Yin family can also expand their power by virtue of the victory in the war.

With the final decision of the Duke of Jin Li, the Yin family's intention to send troops to fight against Chu in order to achieve more military exploits, thereby expanding the Yin family's greater power within the Jin State failed; For the lord and Han Ju and Shi Xie, the three He (郤錡, 郤zhi, 郤犨) did not dare to offend too much, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the Yin family.

And the doctor Bozong who has the same opinion as Han Ju and Shixie, Sanhe is not so polite - if even a single Bozong can't be disposed of, then the status and power of the Yin family in the Jin State in the future can no longer be maintained, and other Qingshi families (such as the Luan family and the Zhongxing family) who are interested in dealing with the Yin family will also be ready to erode and squeeze out the interests of the Yin family, which has greatly reduced deterrence, and obtain greater benefits in the new round of extravagant Qing tilting in the Jin State.

Therefore, after failing to achieve the goal of sending troops to attack Chu, Sanhe was full of resentment towards Bozong for 'bad things'; not long after, in the internal affairs of the Yin family, the current head of the Yin family, Yin Qian, began to prepare to attack Bozong, and he first raised questions about Bozong, saying:

then turned around and left (Jin Ligong didn't know what to do with Bo Zong, so he could only abandon it; And throwing Bozong's tongue into the sleeve of the man, Jin Ligong also used this to implicitly show that people are so tragic in order to prove their innocence, you don't have to chase after it anymore).

But after Jin Ligong left, Sanhe, who stayed in the prison cell, still refused to give up, and he took out the half of Bozong's tongue that Jin Ligong left in his sleeve robe, threw it to the ground, and then crushed the stump tongue with his foot, and then arrogantly provoked Bozong who was already speechless: "How did you spit out this tongue before, how do you swallow it now!" ”

Seeing this, Bo Zong knew that 'Sanhe' would never let go of himself, so after laughing silently for a while with a mouthful of blood in his mouth, he resolutely stood up, and then turned his head and slammed into the wall of the prison cell with all his might.

After Bozong committed suicide, Sanhe replied to Jin Ligong that the traitor Bozong had committed suicide in fear of crime, and demanded that his fellow party Luan Fuji be investigated for the crime; In view of the fact that Bozong was dead, and the role of Sanhe and even the Yin family in the country was still very large, and it needed to be reused, he agreed with them and arrested Luan Fuji and put him to death. This is the historical "difficulty of Luan Fuji" (perhaps it is more appropriate to call it 'Bozong's difficulty'; and whether Luan Shu, the head of the Luan family and the general of the Chinese army at the time, began to resentment and jealousy of the Lu family because of this, it is all clear to look at the historical process of the later Jin Kingdom).

After Bozong was framed by Sanhe and even committed suicide unjustly, the government and the opposition of the Jin State were full of sympathy and pity for this loyal minister who dared to speak out, and they were full of contempt and contempt for the powerful minister 'Sanhe', among which Han Ju's view was the most representative - he said:

"He's here, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid disasters in the future! Good people are the reason why heaven and earth exist, and the Xun clan has killed them many times, if they don't perish, then what are you waiting for! ”

However, the practice of 'being arrogant and rude to the outside world, greedy and aggressive, jealous of the virtuous and capable of being able to frame colleagues internally' is to make the Jin Zhongjun Zuo Shixie worried, and he once tirelessly and repeatedly pointed out to the Jin Li Gong that the country's calamity has become more and more serious, to the point where it cannot be ignored - the reason why 'if the outside is peaceful, there must be internal trouble'; the Yin clan is about to become the most important cause of the next internal strife in the Jin State because of the various arrogant and illegal practices of his family members.

On the Chu side, the king of Chu was also very surprised that Bozhou Li suddenly fled to Chu and that Bozong was forced to commit suicide by Jin Ligong, and was angry that Bozong was framed as a 'Chu spy' (if it was true, then it would be good, now that it is like this, of course the king of Chu is angry). So, after settling the Bozhou plow, the king of Chu Gong specially summoned Sima Zi to come and ask his opinion on this matter.

And Zi Yan simply replied to the king of Chu Gong:

"The minister dares to vouch that there is no such thing! Saying that Dr. Bozong 'surrendered to Chu and betrayed Jin' is all untrue words of the Hao family; ”

Bozong was quite famous when he was alive, and he was full of scheming, and contributed a lot of strength to the hegemony of Jin Jinggong; Therefore, the king of Chu believed that his son Bozhou Li would also be a virtuous minister who would establish meritorious deeds for the state of Chu in the future; Therefore, the king of Chu Gong happily gave the Bozhou plough who came to take refuge as the doctor of the Chu State, and he will serve the Chu State from now on.

After that, Bozhou Li stayed in the Chu State, served several generations of Chu kings, and gradually rose to the rank of the Dazai of the Chu State, which can be regarded as entering the ranks of the top nobles of the Chu State. In the second year of Bozhou ploughing to Chu, that is, in the 'Battle of Yanling' in June of the eleventh year of King Jian of Zhou (575 BC), Bozhou Li, as an 'old minister of the Jin State', explained the battlefield layout and marching plan of the opposite Jin army to the king of Chu on the battlefield, and gave advice to fulfill the duty of a courtier.

And Bozong's great-grandson, the grandson of Bozhou Li, is also a well-known figure in history, that is, in the early stage, he did his best to assist two generations of Wu kings and husbands to achieve hegemony, and in the later period, because of jealousy and jealousy, framing the able minister Wu Zixu, the Wu State Dazai - Bo Yao. And why Bo Yao became the Dazai of Wu from a courtier of Chu State, and what happened to Bo Shi in Chu State, this is another story.
