Wang Cheng, the overlord of Chu, was strangled by his son with white silk.
Since Chu ascended the throne, he has been aggressive, constantly striving for self-improvement, vigorously developing national strength, destroying the country, expanding thousands of miles and dominating the Central Plains, which has greatly impacted his prestige. He was a veritable overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Unfortunately, in his later years, Wang Ba was forced to commit suicide by his son because he knew unknown people.
The rebellious gene of the son of the king of Chu comes from the king himself.
At the beginning, the king of Chu killed his younger brother and became a king.
This bloody scene was staged again 46 years later, which can be described as: Skynet is long, sparse but not leaking, causal cycle, karma!
On the other hand, King Chu Cheng is indeed a promising monarch. During his reign, he often fought with neighboring countries, successively destroyed Shen, Deng and other countries in southern and western Henan, and cut the Yellow River to serve Cai. He attacked Zheng many times, and the border continued to expand northward and eastward. This attitude is fierce and overwhelming, which makes some countries in the Central Plains tremble with fear.
Party history of Zheng is in Xinzheng, Henan. He was hurt by Chu, and he was in pain and fear, so he asked Qi for help in the east.
At that time, Qi was in full swing and was a hegemonic country. It called on several small vassal States around it to join the alliance.
In order to save Zheng, he led the allied forces of Qi, Song, Chen, Wei, Zheng, Xu, Lu, Cao and Li to attack Chu. Cai Jun defeated the enemy without fighting, and the allies reached the northern border of Zhaoling and Chu. King Chu Cheng sent someone to ask Qi Henggong: "You are in the north and we are in the south. The two are irrelevant. "
Qi Henggong doesn't know how to answer, but Guan Zhong can speak. He made up a story: "We used to say to our ancestors,' You have the right to beat the rude prince and safeguard the dignity of the Zhou royal family.' "You didn't pay tribute to the Zhou royal family according to your own obligations, and King Zhao of Zhou didn't come back after the expedition. Isn't that your responsibility?
The messenger told the king of Chu about it, and the king of Chu was very angry when he heard it. Zhao Gong is the son of Zhou Wenwang. That was many years ago. What did Zhao Gong and Qi Weiwang Jiang Ziya say? Nobody knows. Even if he says so, what is the legal effect? Zhao Gong was only a powerful official of the Zhou Dynasty, not a king.
But seeing that there are many people in the league, brave people will not suffer immediately. The king of Chu swallowed and asked the messenger to answer, "It's my fault that I didn't hold an official ceremony for the Zhou royal family. But King Zhao of Zhou went to the south and drowned in the Han River. There's nothing we can do. Ask Hanshui! "
Chu Wang's words are modest before, tough after, soft and firm, which not only shows that he is willing to cooperate, but also shows that he will not suffer.
Qi Henggong bowed his head when he saw this deterrent to Chu, but the task of stealing some cheap money was not completed, and he was unwilling, because this time the Coalition forces came on a large scale, and the price was very high. He didn't get any benefits, just let the Zhou royal family pick up a bargain.
Qi Henggong is not a fool. Who can do bad things?
So, the allied forces continued to March on Chu. When they reached the south of Yancheng County, Henan Province, the King of Chu sent people to resist. When Qi Henggong saw that the soldiers of the Chu army were ready to fight, he stood up straight and couldn't help but feel scared. From spring to summer, the two armies are at loggerheads, and no one dares to attack easily.
As time goes by, money and food are getting less and less, soldiers are getting older and older, and the hearts of generals are getting tired every day.
In the end, both sides were a little impatient, but their self-esteem persisted.
Seeing this, Chu sent him to make peace. It's rude to say, "What are you going to do, fight or not?" If you are reasonable, convince us. Unreasonable, Fangcheng Hanshui is your graveyard. There are no more people. " .
Qi Henggong can't take advantage, nor can he take care of any face. He must make peace. As the saying goes, "if you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of burning without firewood." Why go all the way to the end? Wouldn't it be even more humiliating if the allies were forced to retreat because they couldn't hold on first?
So, the allied forces gradually retreated, returned to Zhaoling, made an alliance with Chu, and then left.
This time, Chu showed off his muscles in front of various governors and became famous at once. King Chu Cheng was encouraged and began to try to rule the Central Plains.
After the death of Duke Heng of Qi, Song Xianggong wanted to dominate the world. This man is Don Quixote in the Spring and Autumn Period. He looks strong and his heart is shrinking, but he is ecstatic. He doesn't know current events and thinks highly of himself.
In 639 BC, Lu joined the Qi-Chu League and demanded that he be recognized as the overlord. The king of Chu pretended to agree. This autumn, Chen, Cai, Xu, Cao, Chu and other monarchs were invited to join the alliance and became kings at the meeting.
Song Xianggong openly said to the monarchs of various countries: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a descendant of the merchants of the Song Dynasty, a descendant of Emperor Gao Xin, a true heir to the throne, an official of the Song Dynasty, and the only principality in all countries. Therefore, under my leadership, you must unify the banner, respect the king, resist foreign aggression and safeguard the dignity of the Zhou royal family. "
The other princes didn't answer. They looked at the king's face!
I saw the gloomy face of the king of Chu and glared at Song Xianggong. He said, "What an emperor. What am I if you can be a bully? " Say commanded, around the samurai peak sexually, pouncing on Song Xianggong, Song Xianggong several guards around already scared the daylights out of, in this way, as easy as blowing off dust, Song Xianggong was detained by the king of Chu.
King Chu Cheng escorted him to Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and Song Jun held on for several months. At this time, the governors around him ran out to intercede, and the king of Chu released Song Xianggong to return home.
After returning home, I didn't want to be humiliated by Chu, and I didn't give up my hegemony. In the summer of 638 BC, he attacked Zheng, a vassal state of Chu. The king of Chu led the army to attack Song and save Zheng. So he quit Zheng's fight. The Battle of Hong broke out.
When Chu Jun arrived at the south bank of Hongshui River, Song Jun took advantage of this and deployed troops to meet them on the north bank of Hongshui River.
When the Chu army crossed the river, the grandson's wife said to him, "Your Majesty, there are many of them, but there are few of us. You can wait for them to attack suddenly on the other side of the river, and maybe you can win! " Song Xianggong refused to agree and said, "No! We are teachers of justice. How can we do such a despicable thing? When they cross the river, we will attack again! " .
After crossing the river, the Chu army lined up, and Gong Sungu said to Song Xianggong, "Your Majesty! They just landed, and the array is chaotic and unstable. At this moment, we suddenly launched an attack. Maybe we can win, it's too late! " Song Xianggong gave him another white look and said, "No! You know, we were righteous teachers in the Song Dynasty. How can we do such a dirty thing? When they line up, we will attack again! "
When the Chu army was in place, Song Xianggong shouted and ordered the attack: "God bless Dasong, the rebel army will win! My soldiers are rushing forward! "
In the rumble of drums, the two armies confronted each other, and soon the outcome was decided. Chu Jun is so powerful that once it fights fiercely, Song Jun will be defeated. Song Xianggong's pro-army was wiped out, and Song Xianggong was shot in the thigh, seriously injured.
After the war, the Song people were dissatisfied with Song Xianggong's improper command, which led to the country's fiasco, the loss of a large area of land, and forced to pay tribute to Chu. However, Song Xianggong did not realize his mistake, but defended his subjects: "Do you know? In ancient times, we could not lose talents or do unjust things in marching and fighting. As a country of gentlemen, we can't hurt injured enemies, capture gray-haired veterans, attack enemies in narrow terrain, or take the initiative to attack unlisted enemies. What's wrong with me following the instructions of God and sages? Teachers, I am not wrong. " .
Song Xianggong's words only made his subjects despise him more, and he soon died of a leg injury.
Song Xianggong's stupid pig-like justice finally ruined his life and made the king of Chu think highly of himself. At this time, the influence of Chu has reached the north of the Yellow River, and all countries in the Central Plains are afraid of giants.
Although the King of Chu made great achievements in the national cause, he made great mistakes in family affairs, especially in the choice of Chu Jun, and paid the price of his life in vain.
According to the hereditary system of Zongzi Fortress Besieged formulated by the Duke of Zhou, the heir of the King of Chu is the eldest son. But Chu has his own habits, which are similar to those of prairie people. It has the custom of "the younger son looks after the house", and Wang Quansi's throne is often inherited by the younger son.
The King of Chu vacillated between himself and the State of Chu, which made Chu Jun's position uncertain.
Businessmen are very calculating. They often give gadgets like Zhu Yuhuan and Pei to Wang Cheng's cronies to win his favor. Many people speak for the Minister of Commerce, praising him as a flower on a tree.
After listening to many good words about his eldest son, Shang Chen, the King of Chu decided to establish a reserve. He asked Ling: He is a good boy and has inherited the legacy of his predecessor. Do you think he is a prince? "
Dou Bo is a clever man. Knowing the details of the Minister of Commerce, he replied, "Your Majesty, you are still young. Is it too early to consider establishing a prince? "
Chu Cheng said: "I am not young, I am old!"
Dou Bo added: "With all due respect, even if you want to establish a prince, you can't establish a minister of commerce. First of all, since ancient times, it has been the custom of the State of Chu for the youngest son to stay at home and not grow up. We can't break the rules of our ancestors; Second, Shang Chen, whose eyes are like bees and her voice is like a jackal, is a cruel and insidious person at first glance. If he is made a prince, Chu may have some troubles in the future. Please think twice! "
The king of Chu did not listen to Dou Bo's advice and went his own way. Make Shang Chen a prince and worship Pan Chong as a teacher.
Shang Chen is really a narrow-minded person. When he heard that Dou Bo was opposed to being a prince, he was dissatisfied and wanted to get rid of him.
In 627 BC, Xu and Cai betrayed Jin and attached Chu. Xiang Gong worshipped Chu Yang as a general and fought side by side with him. The king of Chu appointed Dou Bo as viceroy and Cheng Daxin as lieutenant, and led the troops to save Xu and Cai. The two armies were deadlocked for more than two months. Seeing that by the end of the year, gold will run out of grain and grass, my father is more and more worried. He wanted to retreat, but he was afraid of being proved and pursued by the Chu army; Afraid of being laughed at, there is a reputation for being afraid of Chu; So he thought hard and finally let him come up with a clever plan.
Then he sent a messenger to Chu Jun's camp, saying, "I have come to report the general's life." The two armies in Chu Jin have been facing each other for a long time, and it is difficult to judge the result. It is not good for anyone to waste military capital. It's best to fight a good battle and finish it. General, if we want to fight a decisive battle, our army is willing to retreat for 30 miles, let you pass the water-saving arrangement, and then fight a decisive battle. If you dare not cross the river, please retreat thirty miles and let our army have a decisive battle to save water. I wonder what the general thinks! "
Bob knew that the Jin army would run out of food and grass. Hear 8 jin j arrogant tone, is preparing to cross the river to play gold. The captain hurriedly dissuaded him to guard against the fraud of 8 Jin Army. He said that if the Jin army suddenly attacked and the Chu army was halfway, it would be bad.
Du heard the truth, so he ordered the whole army to retreat 30 miles to rebuild the village and wait for the decisive battle of Jindu River.
Chu Yang's father was overjoyed to see the Chu army retreat. Suddenly he reported, "Ha-ha, General Chu Dou-bo is afraid of our gold and dare not cross the sea to fight a decisive battle. He escaped. Now that the enemy has escaped, there is no need for us to cross the river again. Better wait until next spring. It's not too late to call again when the weather gets warmer. What do you say? " The soldiers cheered, so our father led the Jin army home in triumph.
After waiting for two days, I saw that there was no movement in the 8 Jin Army, so I sent someone to inquire, only to know that the 8 Jin Army had left.
Dou Bo quit without a fight, and the king of Chu was very angry. The fashionable obituary said: "The two armies were at loggerheads for more than two months, but Dou Bo refused to attack. Finally, he surrendered voluntarily and escaped the slaughter of 8 Jin Army. I heard that he accepted a bribe from Chu Yang's father. So, is he worthy to be a subject of Chu and your father? "
The king of Chu was furious and sent a sword to douban to commit suicide. Dou Bo wanted to enter the palace to defend himself, but was stopped by the Minister of Commerce. Asking for permission, but failing to clarify his situation, Buck sighed, drew his sword and committed suicide on the spot.
From beginning to end, Chengda only put it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. After burying Dou Bo's bones, he wore prison clothes and risked his life to enter the palace. He explained the whole story to the King of Chu, who began to wake up and began to doubt Prince Shang Chen. Soon, he saw a close minister wearing the clothes he gave the prince. He was surprised and asked where he came from, even at the expense of torture. The trusted minister can't deny it, so he has to tell the truth and say that he has accepted the bribe from the Minister of Commerce. King Chucheng suddenly realized that he regretted Dou Bo's death, did not listen to Dou Bo and began to alienate the prince.
Prince Zhi Zhi, the youngest son of the King of Chu, is very clever. King Chu Cheng always liked him, so he wanted to abolish the minister of commerce and establish the rule of the prince. But this fashionable morning has gradually cultivated some forces in North Korea, and the king of Chu did not dare to make a move.
At this time, Wang Meijiang, who married Jiang Guo, returned to her family and lived in the palace. The king of Chu told Jiang Mi what he thought. Jiang Mi thoughtfully, "elder brother, this is a big deal. Don't act rashly. If you don't make mistakes, you will make mistakes. However, if you can find the mistake of the Minister of Commerce, you can abolish him in a reasonable way! "
The king of Chu was surrounded by the eyes and ears of the prince, and it soon reached the ears of Shang Chen.
The minister of commerce quickly asked the host to discuss countermeasures. Pan Chong said: "I have a way to prove the truth of this statement. Your aunt Jiang Yan is impatient. When she is angry, she can't hide anything. The prince can give her a banquet, deliberately provoke her and ask for one or two! "
Shang Chen held a welcome banquet for Jiang Yan as planned. At first, he was very respectful to Jiang Yan and poured wine for Jiang Yan to celebrate his birthday, but his aunt kept calling for a long time, which made him very affectionate. But after three rounds of drinking, Shang Chen gradually showed the meaning of snub. At first, he asked the chef to serve the dishes directly to Jiang Yan, but he didn't get up. Later, he talked to the waiter around him alone. He ignored Jiang Yan, who was very unhappy. He repeatedly asked, but the Minister of Commerce still turned a deaf ear. Jiang Yan really flew into a rage. She stood up and said sharply, "You smelly boy, how can you be a prince when you are so rude?"
The merchant turned his head and said, "I am a prince." My father will pass on the throne to me in the future. What can you do with me? "
Jiang Yan smiled angrily and said, "Ha ha, you honest son, you still want to be a prince. Don't dream of spring and autumn. Your father has been trying to get rid of you. You don't know what is good for you. You will see! " Say, jilt sleeve boarded the bus.
Back in the palace, Jiang Yan went to see King Chu Cheng without venting his anger. He said bitterly: "The courtiers are too arrogant to bear the heavy responsibility of the monarch. He should be abolished immediately! Dude, I think his face is fierce. He dragged on for a long time, afraid of an accident. "
The king of Chu nodded and said, "Sister, if I have you, I will make up my mind. Tomorrow, I will tell the ministers to abolish the Minister of Commerce! "
Jiang Mi was overjoyed and was about to leave. The king of Chu added, "Cloud dreams are for wild bears. I let the chef cook. Come to my palace tonight. I have an appointment with a prince. The three of us tasted bear's paw together and discussed great things. Jiang Mi nodded and agreed.
It is said that Shang Chen was very scared when he heard the truth about the storage and disposal of wastes in Chu State. He hurried to see Master Pan Chong and asked about the countermeasures.
Pan Chong thought for a moment and asked, "Prince, can you put down your worth and be a king of Chu?"
Shang Chen shook his head again and again: "He is much younger than me. I can't do it. "
After eating, Pan Chongdun asked, "Would you like to flee to another country?"
The businessman said, "I can't escape to other countries for no reason and lose face."
Pan Chong spread out his hands and said helplessly, "There is no other way except these two people."
Shang Chen's painful voice, kneeling on the ground, pleaded.
Pan Chong stared at the Minister of Commerce, frowned and said somberly, "There is another good strategy. But they are afraid that you will not do it. " Speaking of which, Pan Chong stopped talking and remained silent.
Hearing this, the businessman seemed to realize something, stood up, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "What can't stand coming to this land?" Teacher, please speak louder! '
Pan Chongzheng is close to Shang Chen, whispering in a low voice, and Shang Chen's expression on her face is constantly changing. His eyes were scared first, then calm, a little cruel, and finally excited.
Tonight, Shang Chen promised that the palace had changed and led the army to surround it. Holding a sword, he rushed to the king of Chu.
By this year, King Chu Cheng has been in power for 46 years. Forty-six years ago, he led an army to stop the king of Chu. The same scene, the same situation, the same ending, don't need much explanation.
After the merchant killed several servants and maids with his bloody sword in front of King Chu Cheng, he tied up the white silk and threw it on the ground, with two warriors pulling at both ends. Then he said to King Chu Cheng, "Dad, come here, put your head here and close your eyes, and it won't hurt!" " "Shang Chen expression is still as gentle as before, without any change. He seemed to greet his father with a smile last night, but his eyes shone strangely, like a wolf at night.
King Chu's facial muscles twitched. He doesn't want to die yet. He wants to see his beloved little son for the last time. He begged, "Can I finish the bear's paw cooked by the chef?"
After waiting for half an hour, the expression on the merchant's face suddenly changed 180 degrees, and the previous tenderness was swept away. In an instant, his face was covered with dark clouds, like a hungry wolf with its teeth bared. He growled, "Do you want to wait for the prince to save you? You always dislike my son. No matter what I do, you only like wet behind the ears from beginning to end! "
King Chu knows that at this time, any words and entreaties are useless and will only bring shame to himself. He looked at his son in despair. He asked, "What are you going to give me, posthumous title?"
Shang Chen blurted out, "spirit! I regard you as King Chu Ling.
The king of Chu shook his head to express his dissatisfaction!
After thinking for a while, Shang Chen calmed down and said, "Yes! Father, you have opened up territory for Chu and dominated the world. You are the king of success! You can't be filial before you die. I swear to protect your reputation after your death! "
The king of Chu nodded, smiled sadly, grabbed the white silk on the ground and put it around his neck. The businessman winked at both sides. When two strong soldiers hugged each other tightly, the king of Chu stopped breathing.
At this time, the chef just took out the bear's paw. When he saw this scene, he was frightened. As soon as his hand shook, the food container containing precious bear's paw immediately fell and scattered all over the floor.
The king of Chu will never eat this delicious bear's paw again. Several generations of overlords died at the hands of their sons, and the minister of commerce standing by suddenly burst into tears and wept bitterly.
That night, neither Wang Zizhi nor Jiang Yan was spared.
The next day, the Minister of Commerce came to the court and told his ministers. King Chu suddenly fell ill and died last night. As a prince, he will automatically become the new king.
He is the King Chu Mu in history.
