King Chuping reigned for twelve years, and initially adopted the strategy of recuperation and recuperation, which was quite meritorious. Unfortunately, in the later period of his reign, Fei Wuji was chaotic and Wu Zixu fled. The reign of King Chu Ping was a period of gradual decline in the Chu state, and it was not revived until the collapse of the Chu Zhao king.
King ChuPing was the younger brother of King Chu Ling, and when he was a prince, his ability and wind evaluation were good. After he was named the Duke of Cai, he was deeply loved by the people of cai. In other words, when he was a prince of the Chu kingdom, he had the style of a king.

"Zuo Chuan" Yun: "Chu Gongzi abandoned his illness like Jin, and reported han ziye." Over Zheng, Zheng Hanhu, Gongsun Qiao, and You Ji from Zheng Bo to Laozhuo. Don't dare to see it, please see it, see it, like seeing the king, with his horse riding eight horses in private... That's how it goes. Zheng Sanqing knew that he would be Wang Ye. ”
The Prince of Chu was deeply trusted by king Chu Ling, who sent him to the Jin kingdom to pay a thank you ceremony— to thank the marriage between Jin and Chu. In the eyes of the people at that time, the way of abandoning the disease was very different from that of the Chu Ling King.
Abandoning the disease and passing through Zheng Guo, he used quite appropriate diplomatic etiquette--see Zheng Bo used eight horses for personal visits; saw Zipi use six horses with "Shangqing's gift"; saw four horses produced by Zizi; and saw Uncle Zi use two horses.
Not only that, he also ordered that Chu soldiers be forbidden to cut grass, graze, pick firewood, not enter farmland, not cut trees, not pick vegetables, not demolish houses, and not forcibly collect, and ordered the soldiers to swear that if anyone violated the order, they would be directly dismissed and demoted.
The Chu army was unusual, they were no longer arrogant and violent, so that the masters of other princely states did not have to worry about the threat of guests, both coming and going. At this time, the three secretaries of Zheng Guo could see that they would become the king of Chu.
From this, it can be seen that the performance of abandoning the disease is humble and courteous, not as arrogant and arrogant as the Chu Ling King at the "Shen Zhihui". Not only that, but abandoning the disease is also a leader who retreats into progress and is wise and foolish.
In fact, abandoning the disease to become a king is a blessing entrusted to Cai Guoguan. We all know that Guan Cong originally supported LiZi to do it, and he advised Zi Gan to kill and abandon the disease first, but instead forced his brother to die, that is, he became the King of Chuping.
"Zuo Biao" Yun: "King Ping is on the throne, and he has sealed Chen and Cai, and both of them are restored, and Li Ye is also." The son of The Great Son of Yin, Lu, belonged to Cai, Li Ye. Wu, the son of the eldest son, returned to Chen, Li Ye. ”
After King Chuping ascended the throne, he treated the people leniently, regardless of whether Guan Cong had once wanted to destroy himself, and let Guan Cong become "Bu Yin" as he wished. At the same time, he also restored Chen and Cai. It can be speculated from this that the destruction of King Chu Ling was related to the secret deployment of abandoning the disease-related to the agreement reached between Chen and Cai. King Chuping recalled the princes of Chen Guo and Cai Guo to assist them in their ascension to the throne, a move that won the hearts of the princes.
However, on the point of "giving bribes to the crowd", King Chuping did not believe zheng Guo's words. He did not return the fields of "犨" and "Oak" that had been promised to Zheng Guo. Although this was the act of ZhiRuzi, King Chuping still acquiesced and forgave. It can be seen that King Chuping also believed that there was no need to return these lands to Zheng Guo. From this point of view, it can be seen that King Chuping is not necessarily a truly enlightened king.
Zhi Ruzi was in his favor, and King ChuPing was reluctant to return it, and he didn't even want Zheng Guo to become bigger. In the view of Gao Shiqi of the Qing Dynasty, the King of Chuping restored Chen Guo and Cai Guo, just a small favor - "With its small benevolence quhui, is it enough to marry the hearts of Chen and Cai? It seems that the image of King Chuping as a "hypocrite" could not last long. It was also the revelation of King Chuping's selfishness that gave the traitors an opportunity to take advantage of, and eventually triggered the "Fei Wuji Rebellion" that we are all familiar with.

"History" Yun: "King Ping deceived the two kings and stood up". He was highly praised for his work around king Of Chu Ling, and because of this, he was reused and given the title of Duke of Cai, and then he raised chen and Cai Zhishi to invade the capital of the State of Chu, forced king Of Chu to die, and intimidated Gongzi Zibi, causing him to commit suicide, resulting in the fact that he "cheated the two kings", which was criticized and not unjustly criticized.
There are two reasons why abandoning the disease can be successfully promoted in "Left Biography":
First, win the hearts and minds of the people. When he abandoned his illness as Cai Gong, he was supported by the people. I still remember that when the Cai people found that the abandoned disease was missing, they had to seize Guan Cong, and after some reassurance, Cai Guo was willing to attack Chu in the name of abandoning the disease.
Second, be decisive and ruthless. When Zhaogong abandoned the attack on Chu in the thirteenth year, he did not advocate the construction of a city, and he proposed to erect a fence to gain precious time into Chu in order to seek a quick battle and a quick decision. After entering Chu, he also killed the two sons of King Chu Ling, and solved his worries.
The State of Jin heard that the king of the State of Chu was newly established, and in view of the rude attitude of the King of Chu Ling to the State of Jin, the State of Jin wanted to take revenge on the State of Chu. Thus, the ascension of a new monarch to the throne is usually the beginning of a change in the diplomatic situation.
"Zuo Biao" Yun: "Han Xuanzi's Suitable Chu Ye, Chu Ren Fu Rebellion." The prince abandoned the disease and the Jin Dynasty, and the Marquis of Jin rebelled. ”
Earlier, Jin Guo originally wanted to "treat his human body in the way of others." When Han Xuanzi arrived in the Chu state, the Chu people did not come out to greet him, which was a contemptuous and rude act. Waiting for the abandonment of the disease to the border of the Jin state, the Marquis of Jin also planned not to send someone to greet him. Shu Xiang believes that the upward and downward effects should be based on the right path, and the grievances should be repaid with virtue, so why should we learn from the evil of others? The people are guided by goodness, let alone the monarch? After The Marquis of Jin heard this, he sent someone to greet him.
During the reign of King ChuPing, he reused zige and implemented a series of measures to settle down internal affairs, so that the people of Chu had time to rest and recuperate. During these five years, King ChuPing helped the poor, selected talents and talents, and made good relations with the princely states, so that the Chu state had an end to the old and the young. At this time, the Jin and Chu countries maintained a rare period of peace.
