Why was Wuqi lying on the body of the king of Chu when he was killed? Why didn't he run away?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the stars were bright, and the military commanders were overwhelmed. However, if you want to find a versatile person, it is Wu Qi.

Wuqi, from humble origins, has great ambitions. He wants to be a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people.

He was an official in Lu, Wei and Chu successively, but he was only a general in Lu and Wei, especially in Wei, which made Qin people extremely afraid.

It can be said that as long as Wuqi is here, Qin people have no chance to go east. The land in Hexi, which he snatched from the Qin people, is the strongest fortress for Wei to resist Qin.

But it was such a person who was forced to flee Wei after Wei Wenhou's death, because Wei Wuhou, the late ruler, didn't trust him and gave the position of prime minister to Wuqi, but to someone who was inferior to Wuqi in all aspects.

Wu Qi had to go to Chu because his life was threatened.

Mourning the king of Chu is a noble person in Wuqi's life. In the face of Wu Qi's defection, after a short examination, he directly gave him the Lingyin of Chu, which is equivalent to the prime minister of Chu.

After the political reform in Wuqi, Chu became stronger, but the good times did not last long. After his death, Wuqi lost his backer, and Wuqi's political reform harmed the interests of big noble and Chu. They hate Wuqi.

Wuqi also knew that he was untenable in Chu, but this time he chose to face it calmly.

He went to see the last journey of the king of Chu without hesitation, and he made a plan to die for his bosom friend.

After Wuqi entered the palace, the archers lurking in the dark were ready to go. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wuqi rushed to the body of the king of Chu, and those archers shot Wuqi in front of the king of Chu. Because there were too many arrows, Wuqi and the king of Chu were shot together, and it was even difficult to separate them.

And Wuqi's move is purposeful, and he wants these nobles to be buried with him.

According to the law of Chu, "those who wish to kill your corpse" will be destroyed by the three clans.

Later, the newly acceded to the throne, King Su of Chu, also ordered that when Yin shot Wuqi, anyone who shot the body of King Mo Lun of Chu would be put to death, and more than 70 nobles participated in the genocide.

This shows that Wuqi's ingenuity is high.
