However, Qu Yuan's ideas were opposed by the old-fashioned faction led by Jin Shang, a senior official, who constantly denigrated Qu Yuan in front of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu gradually distanced himself from him, and Qu Yuan, who was a man of lofty ambitions, felt pained, and with his unstoppable melancholy and sorrow, he wrote immortal poems, such as Li Sao and Heavenly Pilgrimage. In 229 BC, Qin captured eight cities in Chu, and then sent an envoy to ask King Huai of Chu to go to Qin to negotiate peace.

3. Qu Yuan saw through the Qin king's conspiracy and risked his life to go to the palace to present the advantages and disadvantages, but King Huai of Chu not only refused to listen to him, but also expelled Qu Yuan from Yingdu.
