History vs. fiction
Prime Minister of Chu, later led troops to fight against Wu, was defeated and fled.
- based on factBelieved slander and caused Bo Piwan's death
The Records of the Grand Historian, in the 'Hereditary House of Chu,' records that it was Fei Wuji's slanderous accusations that led to Bo Xiwang's death, and that Prime Minister Zi Chang (Nang Wa) later executed Fei Wuji to quell public outrage. However, the novel reconstructs this causal relationship, depicting Nang Wa as believing Fei Wuji's slander and, in a rage, directly ordering the burning of Bo Xiwang's residence, causing his death, thereby rewriting the original punisher of evil into a deceived accomplice. The original text: 「楚杀其大夫郤宛。」（《春秋左传正义·卷52》，data/raw/zuozhuan/卷52.txt）
