The protagonist of this article, ignorance, only appeared in the first episode of the drama "Ren Mei". He was originally descended from the monarch of Yue State. Because the state of Yue was destroyed by the State of Chu, he came to the State of Chu under the pseudonym of ignorance and wanted to kill Chu Huaiwang and avenge the destruction of the country. The ignorant man in the play is a gifted scholar who has read many poems and books, and also a bosom friend of the great poet Qu Yuan. On the Dragon Boat Festival, Ignorance dressed as a wizard of Chu took part in the sacrificial activities and was assassinated during the sacrificial ceremony. However, with the full support of Fu and Qu Boyong, ignorance failed to kill him, so he had to hijack Qu Yuan and escape. Qu Yuan used ignorance to stun ignorance and unmask it. Qu Yuan brought ignorance to his home. He asked why Ignorance wanted to assassinate Chu Huaiwang. Ignorance told Qu Yuan that he was a descendant of Yue State and had a deep hatred for Chu Huaiwang. Ignorance thinks that, as descendants of Yue State, his father and brother were both killed by Chu Huaiwang, and he is their relative. Shouldn't he have hatred or revenge?

Later, ignorance took advantage of Chu Huaiwang to visit Qu Boyong and Qu Yuan's father and son, and then assassinated Chu Huaiwang. This time, he was unlucky, not only failed, but also was caught. However, the sword that I was ignorant of was engraved with Qu Yuan's name, so Chu Huaiwang suspected that Qu Yuan had assassinated him in collaboration with the remnants of the State of Yue and put them both in prison. In his cell, Chu Huaiwang personally interrogated the young and bold Qu Yuan and spoke his mind bluntly. He thinks it's Chu Huaiwang's fault. Chu Huaiwang's best way to solve this problem is to forgive ignorance, otherwise someone will assassinate him. Chu Huaiwang thought Qu Yuan was rude and refuted him, but what he said was very reasonable. He valued Qu Yuan's talent in poetry and prose, which meant a lot of reuse of Qu Yuan, so he forgave Qu Yuan and his ignorance.

Ignorance has been released, but ignorance can no longer set foot in the territory of Chu, which is the greatest tolerance for him. Although there is only one episode, this ignorance is well known, and the country where ignorance is located is also a legendary vassal state. Yue has existed for nearly 2000 years, and it is the longest vassal state. Many of us don't know about Yue, but when it comes to Gou Jian, the King of Yue, you won't forget it. Yes, the country of ignorance is the country of Yue where Gou Jian lived, so ignorance is the descendant of Gou Jian, the king of Yue!

Knowing that ignorance is the descendant of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, we still don't know who his historical prototype is. Therefore, we need to continue to explore. Ignorance assassinated Chu Huaiwang, who was also a good friend of the great poet Qu Yuan. From the time when Chu Huaiwang and Qu Yuan lived, we can infer who is the descendant of Yue's ignorance.

Ignorance keeps saying that his country, Yue State, has been destroyed by Chu State, but the Yue State in history existed until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. What happened? In the real history, there was indeed a fierce war between the State of Yue and the State of Chu, but this war was not initiated by the State of Chu, but was actively attacked by the State of Yue. I didn't expect Yue to be beaten by Chu for mercy. In 333 BC, the king of Yue was boundless. He thought Yue was very powerful and wanted to carve up the land of the Central Plains like the vassal states of the Central Plains, so he sent troops to attack Qi. Qi Weiwang, the monarch of Qi, sent messengers to lobby against Chu without borders. Infinite was persuaded by the angel of Qi Weiwang, so he attacked Chu. My father didn't like Yue for a long time, so he took advantage of Yue's initiative to send it to his door and taught Yue a good lesson. Chu Weiwang's army not only defeated the Yue army, but also killed the Yue king. When Wujiang was in power, he thought that he would not die early, so there was no provision for the successor of Yue State. After Wu's death, his two sons claimed that they were the King of Yue, which was divided into two countries: East Vietnam and Fujian Vietnam. During the reign of Chu Huaiwang, in 307 and 306 BC, Chu and Qi joined forces to attack the State of Yue, which was wiped out this time. Strangely, although the state of Yue perished, it still retained the monarch and political power, so it was easy to restore the country. Wujiang's two sons are Jade and Hoof, and Hoof has been in office for a long time, so I guess the historical prototype of ignorance is probably that Hoof.
