During the Warring States period, the State of Chu had a loyal and far-sighted minister named Zhuang Xin. One day, Zhuang Xin said to the King of Chuxiang: "Great King, you spoil the traitorous ministers, enjoy themselves excessively, and have no intention of going to the government, I am worried that if this continues, the Chu Kingdom will be very dangerous, I hope that you will restrain the horse from the precipice and cherish my ancestral inheritance of Dachu for hundreds of years." King ChuXiang disagreed. Zhuang Xin saw that he could not persuade this daoless emperor, so he said: "Great King, if you still want to do my own thing, the Chu Kingdom is not far from extinction, I can't bear to see this scene, if you don't adopt Wei Chen, then please let me take refuge in the distant Zhao Kingdom, let me watch the future of the Chu Kingdom in the Zhao Kingdom." ”
In this way, Zhuang Xin left the Chu state and arrived at the Zhao state. Zhuang Xin stayed in the Zhao state for less than half a year, the Chu state encountered a catastrophe, the neighboring Qin state has always had the ambition to unify the six kingdoms, seeing the chaos of the Chu state, the king of Chu had no way, he took the initiative to attack the chu state, and successively captured Yan, Yin, Wu, Shangcai, and Chen, which originally belonged to the chu state, and the king of Chu Xiang was forced to flee to a place called Chengyang.
Only then did king Xiang of Chu regret it so much that he sent someone to the Zhao kingdom to invite Zhuang Xin back. After Zhuang Xin arrived in Chengyang, king ChuXiang wept bitterly and said to him: "The widow regrets that he did not listen to Mr. Zhuang's words in the first place, so that now things have developed into such an unmanageable place. Zhuang Xin replied, "The minister heard that there is a saying in the Chu kingdom: 'After seeing a rabbit, it is not too late to release the hounds to chase them; after the sheep are lost, it is not too late to repair the sheep pen. Then, Zhuang Xin analyzed the general situation of the world at that time to the King of Chuxiang and pointed out the countermeasures of the Chu state. King Xiang of Chu was deeply impressed, so he made Zhuang Xin the Prince of Yangling and let him handle everything. Soon, Zhuang Xin helped the King of Chu recover much of Huaibei's land.
King Zhuang Xiang was able to repent, no longer insist on going his own way, and finally make up for the dead, it can be said that he was very lucky, but in fact, he had pushed the Chu state into the abyss of destruction, and Zhuang Xin was only struggling to remedy it, delaying the demise of the Chu state.
