Guo Jingchun crossed the river and lived in Jiyang. His tomb was less than a hundred steps away from the water, so people at that time thought it was close to the water. Jing Chun said: "It will become land in the future." Now the sand has risen, and the land dozens of miles away from the tomb is all mulberry fields. His poem goes like this: "The northern hill is fierce, the vast ocean is turbulent; the three tombs are piled up, only the mother and the Kun."8 Prime Minister Wang ordered Guo Pu to try to make a hexagram. When the hexagram was completed, Guo looked very unhappy and said, "You will have a disaster!" The king asked, "Is there a way to avoid it?" Guo said, "I will order my carriage to go west for a few miles and find a cypress tree. I will cut it into a piece as long as you, and place it on your bed as a regular place to sleep. Then the disaster will be avoided." The king followed his advice. Within a few days, the fruit was crushed to pieces, and the children and young men all celebrated. The general said, "You are again putting the blame on the trees."

When King Wen was the crown prince, he went to court with King Ji at three o'clock in the morning. When the cock first crowed, he dressed and went to the door of the bedroom. He asked the eunuchs, "How are you today?" The eunuchs said, "All right." King Wen was happy. At noon, he came again, and did the same. At dusk, he came again, and did the same. If there was any irregularity, the eunuchs would tell King Wen, and King Wen looked worried and could not walk straight. King Ji had a meal, and then he returned to the beginning. When the food was on top, it must be on the spot. He looked at the cold and warm rhythm. When the food was down, he asked what the meal was. He ordered the chef to say, "Is there a source at the end!" The answer was, "Yes." "Then they withdrew. King Wu led the way and dared not add anything. King Wen was ill, but King Wu did not take off his hat and belt to nurse him. When King Wen ate once, he also ate once; when King Wen ate twice, he also ate twice. After ten days, they stopped. King Wen asked King Wu, "What did you dream about?" King Wu replied, "I dreamed that the emperor and I were nine years older." King Wen said, "What do you think it was?" King Wu said, "There are nine countries in the west. Will the king finally rule them?" King Wen said, "No. In ancient times, age was called age, and teeth were also age. I am a hundred and you are ninety, so I am three of you." King Wen died at the age of ninety-seven, and King Wu died at the age of ninety-three. King Cheng was young and could not ascend the throne, so Duke Zhou became his prime minister and ruled the country.
