Xiong Shang, the king of Chu Wei, spent his life trying to restore the hegemony of the Chu Zhuang Dynasty, and strived to make the Chu state crown the head of the kingdoms. During his lifetime, because he was bent on expanding the territory of the Chu state, blindly conquering the outside world and ignoring the dark waves of the harem, which eventually led to the rapid decline of the Chu state due to the incompetence of the King of Chu Huai after his death.
Regarding his biography, he succeeded to the throne as King Of Chu Wei during the thirty years of his reign. Later, in the second year of King Chu Wei, there was turmoil within the Qin state, and King Huiwen of Qin killed Shang Martin and tortured him. Therefore, the State of Chu, together with Korea and the State of Zhao, pursued the policy of "uniting Qin and controlling Wei", and sent emissaries to the State of Qin when King Chu Wei was in his third year to congratulate King Huiwen of Qin.
In the seventh year of the reign of King Chu Wei, King Chu Wei appointed Jing Cui as the commander of the Chu army, annihilated the main forces of the Yue army, killed the Yue king without borders, and took the territory of the former State of Wu occupied by the State of Yue. Since then, the Yue state has faced a situation of disintegration and has become a vassal of the Chu state. In the end, the kingdom of Yue was completely destroyed during the reign of King Chu Wei's son King Huai of Chu.
The state of Chu reached its peak in the Warring States period after the Battle of Xuzhou, which was also the greatest victory achieved during the reign of King Wei of Chu. Since then, the territory of the Chu state has become much larger, from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain, and Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, to the Wuling Mountains in the south, to Ru, Ying, Yi, and Si in the north, including the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huai River Valley with many tributaries.
According to the contents recorded in the "History of Su Qin", it can be seen that the king of Chu Wei had a clear understanding of the situation facing the State of Chu at that time. I know that the later blind conquest of the outside world and the neglect of the harem eventually led to the decline of the Chu state.
How did king Chu Wei die

So what was the end of King Chu Wei?

First of all, he was a surname of Qi, a xiong, a famous merchant, and the son of King Xuan of Chu, and we all know that King Wei of Chu in the history books was a great figure, and he was protecting his country with his own life. When he first ascended to the throne, he had a certain understanding of the current situation in the country. In order to make the country better developed, he threw himself into the battlefield. The king of Chu Wei on the battlefield was heroic and invincible, and occupied the territory of the former State of Wu occupied by the Yue State. It also caused the Yue state to fall apart and became a vassal state of the Chu state. Later, after defeating the Vietnamese army, he defeated the Qi army in Xuzhou. The victory in the Battle of Xuzhou this time can be said to be the biggest victory achieved by the King of Chu Wei during this period, and it also marks the peak of the Chu State in the Warring States period, expanding the national land map, and greatly promoting the economic development of the Chu State.
It was not until 329 BC that King Chu Wei died and was succeeded by his son. It can be guessed from above that the end of King Chu Wei was not murdered and died, because he should have conformed to heavenly reason, born old and sick and died.

In the Warring States period, the State of Chu developed into the strongest monarch after King Chu Mourning, and his life was devoted to restoring the hegemony of the Chu Zhuang Era, and he tried to make the State of Chu crown the head of the kingdoms. Regarding his political achievements, he had a lifetime of achievements, occupied the territory of the State of Wu, and caused the Yue State to fall apart, and eventually destroyed the Yue State. Subsequently, in the Battle of Xuzhou, the King of Chu Wei achieved the greatest victory, and since then, the development of the Chu State has reached its peak and the national territory has expanded a lot. From his relevant historical deeds, it can be concluded that the king of Chu Wei had a clear understanding of the situation facing the Chu state at that time, and it was precisely in this way that the Chu state could become so powerful. However, in the later period, he was bent on conquest and neglected the government, which eventually led to the demise of the Chu state.
