Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, King Fuchai of Wu became even more arrogant and reckless after conquering the State of Yue. He especially enjoyed hearing flatteries from Bo Xi, built the grand Gusu Terrace, executed Grand Tutor Wu Zixu, and indulged in pleasures all day long.
One time, he asked the diviner Gongsun Sheng to interpret a dream. Gongsun Sheng replied, 'Those who frequently ride horses often fall from them. Your Majesty should not be so fond of warfare.'
