The protagonist of today's story is King Cheng of Chu in the early Spring and Autumn Period.
This old man's throne was taken, whose? Rob his brother's.
The brothers' common father is King Chuwen, and the common mother is.
According to Mrs. Xi, she is one of the four beauties of the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, the famous Lady Peach Blossom. Why is there such a title? It is too beautiful to look at, her face is unique, her eyes are like autumn water, and her face is like a peach blossom.

After the death of his father King Wen of Chu, the eldest brother succeeded to the throne, and the history was called Chu Tuo'ao. Can Straw Bag Brother also be king? Four years later, he launched a coup d'état, joined forces with the outside, and slaughtered his brother, and he became the new King of Chu, that is, the King of Chu Cheng.
This dude does have the ability.
After taking the throne, under the pretext of his orders, he suppressed all the ethnic groups of Yiyue, and successively destroyed the states of Yi, Gu, Hang, Xian, Huang, Ying, Jiang, Dao, Bai, Fang, Yun, and Kui, and vigorously expanded the territory of the Chu State to thousands of miles away.
At the same time as expanding territory, and competing for hegemony, in the face of the group beatings of the Central Plains countries, they actually fought a draw, until the superpower, the State of Qi, was defeated.
After that, the Chu army fought with the Song army at Hongshui, defeated the Song army, and those who intended to dominate were also wounded and died in this battle. After this battle, the Chu state was even more powerful and powerful, fighting invincible hands throughout the Central Plains.
Unfortunately, this male lord could not handle the family affairs well, and he wavered in the important matter of establishing a prince.

Who will be the prince? At first, King Chu Cheng felt that the eldest son was quite mature, which was good. He told Ling Yin (丞相) about this idea and gave it to the staff officer.
It was the family of King Chu Cheng, who spoke very bluntly: "Your son, you can't look good, your eyes are like wasps, your voice is like a jackal, your personality is also very poor, you are a cruel person, you absolutely can't be made a prince!" ”
When King Chu Cheng heard this, he was very unhappy, no matter how ugly and bad it was, it was also my son, so I just set him up. In this way, the eldest son became the prince.
But later, King Cheng of Chu became more and more dissatisfied with this son, who was indeed not good-looking, and his personality was not sunny, and he was more sinister, so he wanted to depose Xiong Shangchen and make his son the prince instead.
What a big deal to change the prince, but his mouth did not close the wind, and he actually heard the news. I don't know if this news is true or not, so I consulted with the teacher.
King Xiong Shangchen of Chumu
Say, I have a good way, your father and your aunt have the closest relationship, she must know the inside story.
So, I invited my aunt to a big dinner. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiong Shangchen jumped to his feet and cursed his aunt.
Aunt Jiang Mi became angry: "You stinky boy, it's really not a thing!" No wonder your father wanted to abolish you and make your brother the prince. "
The truth is clear. Therefore, without stopping, he led the guards in the palace to surround his father's bedchamber and forced him to commit suicide.
King Chu Cheng played a little clever, and asked his son, dad is hungry, can you steam a bear paw for dad to eat, eat and make a full ghost.
The son is smarter than him, Dad, the bear paw is steamed for a long time, you clearly want to delay time, wait for foreign aid, bear paws are not, eat a nest. If you don't die, I can't control my men, and they're going to rush in with knives.
There was no way, King Chu Cheng had to hang himself and die.
In this way, he ascended the throne, and he was the king of Chumu in history.
The greater the interests involved, the weaker the family and friendship, which is human nature.
This King of Chu Mu is not famous, except for killing his father, he has not done anything major, but he has a very bullish son, everyone must be very familiar, that is, one of the Five Lords of spring and Autumn, the protagonist of the idiom story "One Hit"- King Chu Zhuang.
