Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Zhuang of Wey doted excessively on his son, Prince Zhou Yu. This indulgence led Zhou Yu to become stubborn, dissolute, willful, and tyrannical. Grand Counselor Shi Que advised Duke Zhuang not to raise Zhou Yu to be arrogant, overbearing, extravagant, and corrupt.
After Duke Zhuang's death, Zhou Yu assassinated his elder brother, Duke Huan of Wey, and usurped the throne. Due to his cruel and unrestrained nature, he was later tricked and killed by Shi Que.
