Story:
During the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao granted Xinye to Liu Bei to defend against Cao Cao.
At the same time, Liu Biao was preparing for his second son, Liu Cong, to inherit his position, which made his eldest son, Liu Qi, feel his own situation was rather precarious.
Liu Qi invited Zhuge Liang to a meal in a high tower in his backyard. He then ordered the ladder to be removed, and humbly sought Zhuge Liang's help for his dangerous predicament.
Zhuge Liang advised Liu Qi to become the governor of Jiangxia to escape the danger.
