Baike says the poems 286-289 are regarded as a group-- 286 as Cheng wang has first ascended, 289 after Zhou gong returned to politics, so this should take place between the two. Cheng wang has been in power with the help of Zhou gong for a bit, and is in the transition from impulsive to mature. Baike points out that while the poems would not have been pre-planned to come as a set, it must have been arranged deliberately like so in this collection.
