Shen, who is quite famous now, has a high word.

He is a famous strategist and politician in Chu State, and also the first chief executive of Yedi since written records in China. Since then, Ye's descendants have been praising him.

In the tenth year of King Hui of Chu (479 BC), the royal family took advantage of the gap to launch a coup, and together with Shi Ge, attacked and killed Lingyin's son and Sima Zi (the prime minister) in the court and hijacked King Hui. Chu suddenly fell into a precarious situation.

At this time, Ye Gong, who was recuperating in Xincai, his hometown, immediately led the border guards outside Fangcheng to Chu Guoping to rebel, and was supported and praised by the people of Chu along the way: "The people of China look forward to your parents." The rebels collapsed in an instant, and the leader hanged himself in vain, breaking the ground, and Chu was able to turn the corner. Ye Gong was demoted to Chu Lingyin and Sima for his work, and he held military and political power.
