During the Spring and Autumn Period, strange killings often broke out between countries, between kings and subjects, and even between fathers and sons and brothers, and the root cause was that behind these bloody killings, there was actually a naked struggle for interests!
Stills of King Chu Ling
In 541 BC, the Kingdom of Chu ordered Yin Qiwei to represent the king at an international conference attended by more than ten fiefdoms, and after flaunting his "hegemonic" prestige at the international conference, he triumphantly returned to China. As soon as he entered the border of the Chu kingdom, he heard that the king was lying sick in bed, and he was vicious and bold, and on the pretext of visiting the disease, he actually strangled the king (who was also his nephew), and replaced him as the king, that is, the historical King of Chu Ling.
King Chu Ling himself used such a despicable means to usurp the throne, but he deeply resented other feudal states for such a king or usurper, as long as other feudal countries had similar things like king-killers or usurpers, he would certainly use the authority of the "overlord" to "uphold justice" and destroy the evil thieves who had usurped the throne and usurp the throne, in fact, he was only using the blood of the same kind to wash away the sins he had committed.
The 21st monarch of the State of Chen, Guī ,ࣻ), had three sons: the eldest son, Concubine Yanshi, the second son, Concubine Liu, and the third son, Concubine Sheng. Concubine Yu had already established her eldest son as Shizi (the legitimate heir to the throne of the kingdom was called the prince, and the legitimate heir of the feudal monarch was called the shizi). However, the mother of the second son's concubine was most spoiled by Chen Aigong.
Therefore, Concubine Liu's mother blew the pillow wind to Chen Aigong wildly, and asked Chen Aigong to abolish Concubine Yanshi and establish her son Concubine Liu as the son of the world. Although Chen Aigong was blown by the pillow wind and his blood boiled, considering that Concubine Yanshi had been established as the son of the world for many years, and could not find a reason to depose him, he had not changed the status of the world. After thinking hard, Chen Aigong finally thought of a way to think he was smart.
Duke Ai of Chen secretly summoned concubines and concubines, the two younger brothers of The Concubine and the Young Fu, and confessed to them: In the future, after the death of Concubine Yanshi, you will be responsible for passing on his throne to your younger brother Concubine. In 534 BC, as soon as Duke Ai of Chen fell ill, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Zhao conspired to see the situation: Concubine Wu, the son of Concubine Yanshi, had slowly grown up, and in the future, Concubine Yanshi would only pass the throne to his son, so how could he pass the throne to his younger brother? Instead of waiting for the future to do it, it is better to kill the concubine master first today, a hundred!
Therefore, the doctor Chen Kongyi, who was bribed by concubines and concubines, stabbed Shizi Concubine Yanshi to death, Chen Aigong heard the news of remorse, and in a fit of anger, He Hangliang committed suicide, and Chen Aigong's third son Concubine Sheng fled to the Chu Kingdom with his younger nephew Concubine Wu, crying to the overlord King Chu Ling, asking for shelter and helping to uphold justice.
Stills of Cai Jinggong
King Chu Ling was furious and immediately led a large army to the State of Chen. Before the seat of the monarch was hot, he was frightened and slipped away, and he ran to Zheng Guo and hid. Seeing that the situation was urgent, concubines quickly summoned her younger brother concubine to come and discuss, and concubines asked concubines what plan they had to retreat? Concubine Zhao said that it is only one thing to retreat, but ask you to borrow it. The concubine asked, what is it? Concubine beckons, I want to borrow your head and use it! The concubine was too frightened, just wanted to get up and escape, but was killed on the spot by the concubine's recruiter, and beheaded him with a sword.
Concubine Zhao took the concubine to the chu army camp in person, knelt down and said to the king of Chu Ling, killing the son of the world and leaving these broken things to be done by the concubine, and now I rely on the great king Hu Wei to behead his first rank and dedicate it to the great king, and ask the king to forgive the sin of being stupid. King Chu Ling saw that the concubine was so humble, the dark clouds had long since dissipated. Concubine Zhao knelt down and moved to the King of Chu Ling, suggesting that the King of Chu Ling quickly destroy the State of Chen and change the State of Chen into a county of the State of Chu, so as not to be taken down by others.
After Fei Zhao prostrated her head and Left, Yu Sheng heard about it and came to cry and tell her that Fei Zhao was the real mastermind behind these things that killed Shizi Li Concubine! Now that he has killed the concubine, he has used the concubine as a scapegoat, to free himself from his sins, and the ancestors and the sons of the world will die blind! Saying that he cried bitterly, everyone present was moved to tears. King Chu Ling advised, Gongzi don't be sad first, I have my own solution.
Therefore, the King of Chu Ling immediately ordered someone to behead Chen Kongyi, and then expelled all the concubines who were at home to the most desolate frontier land in the East China Sea, and then changed the State of Chen into a county of the State of Chu, and ordered the Doctor of the State of Chu to wear a seal and garrison there.
As early as 543 BC, when King Chu Ling was still the younger brother of Qiwei, Cai Jing, the ruler of the state of Cai, made his son Cai Ban the son of the prince, and married the royal daughter of the Chu kingdom, Qi Shi, for his son. The Mi clan looks like a heavenly immortal, as a father-in-law, Cai Jinggong can't hold on, and after hooking up several times, he successfully picked up the ashes and slept with his daughter-in-law. This kind of thing can't stop the fire, the son Cai Ban soon knew, he gritted his teeth in hatred, said, you are not like a father, don't blame me for being a son is not like a son!
So, once again, the itchy Cai Jinggong once again went straight into the inner chamber of his daughter-in-law, and Shizi Caiban led the samurai who had been lurking for a long time to suddenly kill and kill Cai Jinggong on the spot. Cai Fan announced that Cai Jinggong died violently due to illness, and then established himself as a monarch, that is, Cai Linggong. Cai Fan had been a monarch for 13 years, and he could not imagine that one day he suddenly received an invitation from the King of Chu Ling, saying that he was invited to Shencheng to attend a meeting of giants.
Discard the disease stills
The tyrannical personality of king Chu Ling's usurpation of the throne and his murderous nature made the Cai people deeply frightened, and they all dissuaded Cai Linggong and never to go to Shencheng. Cai Linggong said miserably, Cai Guo is so small, it is not enough to be a county in the Chu Kingdom, and the King of Chu Ling asked me not to go, do I have to wait for him to send troops to arrest me? That's really a toast not to eat and eat the penalty wine! After arriving at Shencheng, the King of Chu Ling threw a feast, but unexpectedly, after Cai Linggong was drunk, he was tied up by the King of Chu Ling, along with more than 70 of his retinue, all of whom were executed.
The next story is similar: just like the original destruction of Chen Guo, the King of Chu Ling also destroyed Cai Guo, and killed Cai You, the son of Cai Guo, who was captured, like a pig, as a sacrifice to the mountain god. King Chu Ling also had a word, saying that Cai You was the son of the rebellious Cai, and after being a sinner, he should be treated as a beast! Then, King ChuLing changed the state of Cai to Cai County, and ordered his younger brother Qi to abandon the town of Qi.
The indiscriminate use of the overlord's obscenity and the annexation of the small feudal state cai guo made the king of Chu Ling eat sweet mouth, and also made him extremely inflated, so he began to attack the state of Xu in 529 BC, planning to destroy the state of Xu and continue to destroy the state of Wu. Unexpectedly, at this time, the backyard was on fire, and the little brother of King Chu Ling's most trusted brother, Qi, abandoned the disease nest and rebelled, and took the remnants of the armed forces of Chen Guo and Cai Guo to attack the capital of chu, killed the son of King Chu Ling, and supported Li Li to abandon the disease and another brother, Qi Bi, as the monarch.
Qi, qi, also sent people to the army camp of king Chu Ling stationed in Qianxi to plot a rebellion, declaring that anyone who dared to cover and hide the Emperor Qiwei would be wiped out of the three tribes. King Chu Ling was already demoralized, and his generals quickly ran away, and he became a lonely man, more precisely, a lonely old man who did not even have three meals a day.
Just when the King of Chuling, Qiwei, was lying like a beggar on the side of the road hungry and cold, a driver named Shen Hai drove him back to his manor, saying that the King of Chuling had the grace of not killing his father twice, and his father specially advised him before his death that if the King of Chuling was in trouble, he would sacrifice his life to save him. Was King Chu Ling really saved? What good thing in the world!
According to historical records, that night Shen Hai ordered his two daughters to strangle King Chu Ling, a hungry and sleepy old man, at the head of the bed in the middle of the night in the name of accompanying King Chu Ling. In order to protect himself, Shen Hai personally killed two daughters the next day, and Shen Hai's move was commonly known as "killing people and destroying mouths". As for why Shen Hai did this, there is no specific explanation in the history books. Let people read this, a fog in the brain. However, in general, behind these bloody killings, it is indeed a naked struggle for interests!
