《战国策·秦四·楚使者景鲤在秦》
楚王对景鲤同秦园讨论联合的事感到很气愤，周最便为秦国去对楚王说： 魏国请求不和楚国联合而只同秦国联合，因此景鲤才同我们一起讨论联合的问题。
楚怒秦合，周最为楚王曰： 魏请无与楚遇而合于秦，是以鲤与之遇也。
The King of Chu was very angry about Jing Li discussing the alliance with King Qin, so Zhou Zui went to the King of Chu on behalf of the state of Qin and said: The state of Wei asked not to form an alliance with the state of Chu but only with the state of Qin, so Jing Li discussed the issue of alliance with us.
