Qu Yiusu, a qu Yi blame. During the Warring States period, he was a minister and a great nobleman of the State of Chu. There are many historical records of his stories, and here are two examples.
01. Qu Yiusu resolutely opposes the reform of the law. Wu, a defender of the State of Chu, rose up and went to the State of Chu, where he was highly valued by the King of Chu, was appointed Ling Yin, determined to carry out reforms in the State of Chu, and twice personally visited the stubborn and conservative Qu Yiusu and ate the closed door. Qu Yiusu believed that Wu Qi was a "scourge man" who plotted against morality, used weapons well, and rebelled against the heavenly path. However, Wu Qi still assisted the King of Chu in changing the law, strengthening the national strength and expanding the territory. After the death of King Chu Mourning, Wu Qi was brutally killed by a group of old nobles.

02. Qu Yiusu expected Han Zhaohou not to be able to walk out of the high gate. In 355 BC, Marquis Han Zhaohou appointed Shin Buxi as the Prime Minister of Korea, so that Korea could be governed. Shen died in 341 BC. In 338 BC, there was a great drought in Korea, but Han Zhaohou built the gate tower of the emperor with a high hall for fun. Qu Yiusu said that Shen did not build a high gate in the years when he was not harming the government and had good luck at the right time, but now that his luck was not good, he wantonly spent money, and it was estimated that Han Zhaohou could not walk out of the high gate. Sure enough, when the Gaomen Gate was built the following year, Han Zhaohou fell ill and died.
