昭王元年，樗里子將伐蒲。 In the first year of King Zhao, Shu Lizi commanded the assault on Pu.

且秦王將觀公之事，害秦而利魏，王必罪公。」 Moreover, the King of Qin will scrutinize my lord's conduct. If it harms Qin and aids Wei, the king will surely condemn my lord."

昭王七年，樗里子卒，葬于渭南章臺之東。 In the seventh year of King Zhao, Shu Lizi passed away and was interred east of the Zhangtai Terrace south of the Wei River.

樗里子疾室在於昭王廟西渭南陰鄉樗裏，故俗謂之樗里子。 Shu Lizi's residence was at Chuli in Yinxiang, south of the Wei River and west of King Zhao's temple; hence he was popularly called Shu Lizi.
