King Of Chu (25) Anti-Corruption Campaign

Xiong Renwu was the uncle of king Gong of Chu, with the surname Xiong (熊氏芈) and the character Zi Xin (子辛). At that time, as the Right Yin and The Marshal of the Right Army, this person left no good material in history, but some bad things. Historical records record that Xiong Renwu was greedy for money and lustful.

After Xiong Renwu served as Ling Yin, he felt that he was too powerful to be overwhelmed, and not only did he fly against the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, but also demanded bribes from the vassal states of the Chu State at every turn. The right not to use, expired and void. Former Ling Yin Xiong Baoqi did this, and it seems that throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, the jin government did the same.

Oh, by the way, the secretaries of the Jin Dynasty demanded bribes not only from the vassal states, but also from the allies. Compared with those pitifully small vassal countries, the treasures in the allies are big treasures, and many are the heavy weapons of the country.

Xiong Renwu took a fancy to Chen Guo, so he constantly asked for bribes from the Doctor of the Chen Guo Clan. But whenever Chen Guo sent someone to hire the Chu State, Xiong Ren would pluck the feathers of the geese at noon, and when chen Guo's emissaries came to the Chu Kingdom, the first thing to do was to meet Ling Yin Xiong Ren noon, saying that it was a visit, in fact, it was to send a generous gift.

This is not to mention, Xiong Renwu also set up a lot of means to accumulate wealth. For example, in any lawsuit that Xiong Renwu is responsible for, it is also eating the plaintiff and then eating the defendant. In his house, almost every three to five minutes, there will be a happy event, the birthday of the sons, the birthdays of the wives and concubines, the newly completed house, and then the invitation is widely distributed, and the invitees often have to prepare a generous gift. Originally, these things had nothing to do with Chen Guo, but Xiong Renwu always sent a large number of invitations to Chen Guo, inviting Chen Guo's famous and prestigious families and Gong clan doctors to participate.

Xiong Renwu even specially carried out a set of special inspection tricks, and at every turn carried out an inspection of Chen Guo's implementation of matters related to chen-Chu alliance, and then took the opportunity to knock Chen Guo's bamboo lever.

Chen Chenggong, the ruler of the State of Chen, dared not speak out, and finally became depressed in 568 BC. The newly enthroned Duke Chen Ai had already become angry, thinking that this day could not go on. Follow Chu Guochao, do a bad three that counts, but in the end it became mixed into a flower, and three days of two heads were robbed, it is better to turn against his mother.

Therefore, Duke Chen Ai' heart was crossed, and he sent someone to the Jin Kingdom, and expressed his willingness to follow the big brother of the Jin State to the Jin State Emperor Jin Mourning Gong. Jinguo was very pleased and held an international conference for this purpose.

Chen Guo's betrayal meant that the only few little brothers of the Chu State, who had been the most reliable, also left the Chu State.

In September 568 BC, the Jin state gathered Qi, Lu, Song, Chen, Wei, Zheng, Cao, Ju, Qiu, Teng, Xue, Yu, Wu and other congressional alliances, and then the combined forces of the princes entered the State of Chen to help the State of Chen resist the impending retaliation of the State of Chu.

The King of Chu was furious, and in the past few years, the State of Chu had suffered everywhere. Contending with Jin, Zhongyuan was defeated. He fought against the State of Wu and returned with a great defeat. Now that you Chen Guoyao has also come to betray, how can this breath be swallowed?

Crusade against Chen Guo! The King of Chu decided to teach Chen Guo a lesson. At the court, Xiong Renwu was enthusiastic and expressed his willingness to lead an army to fight against Chen Guo, a villain. The group of ministers was silent, and the king of Chu Gong looked at something wrong and asked:

"Everyone loves Qing, Bu Gu decided to go on a crusade against Chen Guo, is there anything wrong with that?"

Except for Xiong Nongwu, no one still dared to squeak.

King Gong of Chu could not sit still: "Chen Guo, because of the forgiveness of the previous king, was able to restore the country, because Dachu was defeated by Jin and Wu in succession, and Chen Guo rebelled against the water at this time, which is really resentful." On the same day, he will personally lead the three armies to attack Chen Guo. ”

Finally, one of them coughed and went out to play: "The great king is wise, but before the great king sent his troops, the minister still hoped that the great king would think deeply: Why does Chen Guo dare to betray the great Chu?" ”

When the King of Chu Gong looked at it, it was Uncle Wang Xiongzhen. Xiong Zhen, son of King Zhuang of Chu, Zi Zi Nang, Ping Su and Xiong Nong noon are at odds. He knew that the group of ministers did not speak, mainly because Chen Guo's betrayal was purely because Xiong Renwu was insatiably greedy and forced Chen Guo to rebel.

"Oh, Uncle Wang, please." The King of Chu gong has always been modest and has great respect for his uncles.

"Chen Guo's betrayal of Dachu is unforgivable, and the subject thinks that he should fight it. However, the division must be famous, and if we only rely on Chen Guo's betrayal without asking Chen Guo why he betrayed Chen Guo, it will lead to the dissatisfaction of the princes, give the Jin state a pretext, and send troops to attack our Dachu, then my Dachu will be in danger.

According to the investigation of the ministers, the main reason why Chen Guo betrayed was because some people in Dachu were insatiable and demanded heavy bribes from Chen Guo, and Chen Guo was miserable, and Chen Hou was depressed and depressed because of this, which led to resentment among the government and the public.

If I did not clarify this matter to the world before Dachu sent troops to fight, the generals of the three armies would think that the division was nameless, which was very dangerous. ”

Xiong Zhen's words surprised the King of Chu. At this moment, Chen Guo sent envoys to see the King of Chu, and it turned out that Chen Guo had delivered the letter of state, detailing the reason why Chen Guo had left the Chu state:

"Since Zhuang Gong restored Chen, Chen Guo has been serving the Chu State wholeheartedly, and due to compulsive reasons, today Chen Guo is leaving Chu. Because your country Ling Yin was really insatiable, he always asked Chen Guo for money and goods, and Chen Guoguo was small and small, and he was overwhelmed. Originally, Chen Guo only paid tribute to the Chu state, but since your country Ling Yin took office, Chen Guo not only had to pay tribute to the Chu state, but also to Lord Ling Yin, and the number of tributes that Lord Ling Yin demanded was far heavier than the number of tributes to the Chu state. Chen Guo did not dare to offend Ling Yin, because Ling Yin had a lot of power, and he could easily launch an invasion of Chen Guo. Chen Guo had no choice but to ask for Jin Guo's protection. ”

Is there really such a thing? The King of Chu was furious, and the meeting of the Emperor to recruit Chen Guo immediately became an anti-corruption and clean government conference. The King of Chu First ordered people to investigate thoroughly, in fact, some people had long been dissatisfied with Ling Yin Xiongrenwu, and at this time, they all came out of the class, one by one, one by one, and everything that Xiong Nongwu had done was shaken out.

The King of Chu was furious and ordered Xiong Renwu to be beheaded for public display.

No monarch can tolerate the corruption of his courtiers, especially the King of Chu, and even more so with corrupt elements, not even his own uncle!

After killing Xiong Renwu, the King of Chu appointed Xiong Zhen as Ling Yin. At the same time, an emissary was sent to see Chen Aigong and told Chen Aigong that the State of Chu had found out about Chen Guo's betrayal, and had now killed Ling Yin Renwu, who had asked for bribes and returned them. It was hoped that Chen Guo would change his mind, and if he had to follow the Jin State, then the Chu State would also immediately raise an army to fight.

Chen Aigong did not expect that the King of Chu Gong would actually kill Ling Yin Xiong Renwu, thinking that he had known this earlier, when Xiong Renwu first asked for a bribe, he could report to the King of Chu, why should he do this.

In the face of the powerful Chu state, Chen Guo was unable to resist at all. But at this time, the combined forces of the princes were all stationed in Chen Guo, and everyone had just held a meeting to protect Chen Guo, but how many countries were sincere in protecting Chen Guo?

Spring and Autumn, in many times, the game of living at home with children is really similar.

Chen Guo, of course, was powerless to resist, Chen Aigong had already retreated, and in his opinion, no matter what the outcome was, Chu Guo had already given Chen Guo an explanation. Sooner or later, the coalition forces will have to retreat, and as soon as they leave, Chen Guo will become a piece of meat on the cutting board of the Chu State. Then listen to chu guo's words. As a result, Chen Guo had the intention of surrendering to the Chu State in his heart.

What about the coalition forces? Seeing that it has been consumed from September to December, and it is about to be the New Year, the soldiers of all countries are homesick, and the warmth of wives and children is hot. At this time, everyone was spending time in this Chen Guo, who was not in line with his own style, which was really boring.

The King of Chu could not be intimidated by the coalition forces, and he immediately ordered Yin Xiongzhen to lead the Chu army to attack the State of Chen. This is not your Great Central Plains, it is the territory of my Chu Country, and to come to my Chu Country to spread wilderness, it depends on whether Lao Tzu agrees or not.

The Chu army led by Xiong Zhen did not dare to launch an attack. Xiong Zhen thought, you have come to Chen Guo from afar, then spend it with you, anyway, we are close to home, we can get supplies at any time, do not consume you, Lao Tzu should not order Yin.

So what did the Jin people think? Jin people like to pose the most. Anyway, since you Chen Guo came to me and said that you wanted to mix with me, then no matter what, you have to perform. Now, I have gathered all the princes of the Central Plains and supported you, and that is also the responsibility of the ally lord. Now that everyone is thinking about withdrawing, let's withdraw our troops, and we'll talk about it later.

In this way, the combined forces of more than a dozen countries went to Chen Guo for a trip abroad, and then they returned home.

Chen Guo already knew that this would be the result, and since you had left me alone again, then I would have turned to Chu Guo.

As a result, the coalition forces withdrew, the Chu army also withdrew, and Chen Guo returned to the Chu camp.
