Spring and Autumn Legend: King Chu Ling's soldiers were defeated and hanged, and King Chu Ping killed his brother and took the throne

　　Cai Gong's soldiers then arrived, attacked the palace, and killed Shi Zilu and Gongzi. Cai Gong abandoned his illness and swept away the palace, and wanted to make Zi Gan king; Zi Gan resigned. Cai Gong abandoned the disease: "The elder and the young cannot be abolished." ”

　　Zi Gan was on the throne, with Zi Xi as Ling Yin and Cai Gong as Sima (司馬). Chao Wu privately said to Cai Gong: "The head of the gong advocates righteous deeds, why should he use the throne to make people yay?" ”

　　Cai Gong abandoned the disease: "The Spirit King is still in Qianxi, the country is undecided, and the second brother is self-reliant, and the people will discuss me." ”

Chao Wu already understood his intentions, so he offered a plan: "Wang Shi has been out of the country for a long time, and he will inevitably think of returning, and if he sends people to recruit them with interests and harms, he will inevitably collapse." The army followed, and the Spirit King could capture it. Cai Gong thought so.

Therefore, he sent Guan Cong to Qianxi and told his people: "Cai Gong has abandoned his illness and entered Chu, killed the second son of the Ling King, and Feng Zigan became the king." The new king has an order: 'He who returns first will return to his field, and he who returns later will return to his land.' The same is true of sins when there are those who follow the Spirit King, sin and the Three Tribes, or who offer food to the Spirit King. ’”

　　When the sergeant heard this, he scattered most of it for a while.

　　King Shang of ChuLing was lying drunk on the platform of Qianxi, and Zheng Dan hurriedly reported it. The Spirit King, hearing that his second son was killed, threw himself into the ground from his bed and cried loudly. Zheng Dan said, "The heart of the army has left, Wang Yi will return quickly!" ”

　　King Chu Ling wiped his tears and said, "Does a man love his son like a widow?" ”

　　Zheng Dan said, "Birds and beasts know their beloved sons, not to mention people?" ”

　　The Spirit King sighed, "There are many widows and murderers!" Man kills my son, what a monster! ”

　　Shao Qing, sentinel horse newspaper: "The new king sent Cai Gong as a general, and tongdou Chengran led the troops of Chen and Cai Erguo to kill Ben Qianxi." ”

　　King Chu Ling was furious: "The widow is not thin, dare to rebel against me?" It is better to die in one battle than to tie your hands! ”

　　King Chuling then raised the capital from Xiakou (present-day Wuchang) up the Han River to Xiangzhou (襄州, in modern Xiangyang, Hubei) to attack the capital of Ying (present-day Jingzhou, Hubei). The soldiers fled all the way, and the Spirit King drew his sword and killed several people, but he could not stop, and when he reached Ziliang (訾梁, in present-day Xinyang, Henan), only a hundred people were heard. King Chu Ling said, "Nothing is going to happen!" ”

　　So he undressed his crown and hung it on the shore willow. Zheng Dan said, "The king went to the outskirts to see the direction of the people of the country?" ”

　　King Chu Ling said, "Everyone in the country is rebelling, so why should we find out?" ”

　　Zheng Dan said, "If not, if you go to another country, you can also beg for self-help." ”

　　King Chu Ling said, "Who among the princes loves me?" I have heard that the great blessing is no more, and I have humiliated myself in vain. ”

　　Zheng Dan saw that he did not follow his plan, fearing that he would be guilty, that is, he would elope with Yi Xiang and return to Chu.

　　King Chu Ling disappeared from Zheng Dan, helpless, hovering between Li Ze, scattered from the crowd, leaving only single. Hungry in the belly, eager to forage for food in the countryside, and not knowing the path. The villagers also knew that it was the King of Chu Ling, because they heard the legend of the soldiers who fled, the new king's decree was very strict, and the one was not afraid, and each one was far away. King Chu Ling, for three consecutive days, swallowed without food, fell to the ground hungry, and could not move. Just two eyes open, look at the road, and look at the one who knows the face, passing through this place, is the savior. When a man came, he recognized him as the old gatekeeper, and he was called a trickle-off person than the time. King Chu Ling cried out, "Domain, save me!" ”

　　Seeing that it was the Chu Ling King calling, he had to go forward and prostrate. The Spirit King said, "The widow will be hungry for three days!" Ru for the widow to find a cup of food, but also prolong the widow's breathing life. ”

　　Juan ren said, "The people are afraid of the new king's order, so why should the subjects get food?" ”

　　The Spirit King sighed and ordered him to sit close to him, resting his head on his strands and resting in peace. The King of Waiting Spirits went to sleep, took the earth block as a pillow, and replaced it with his stock, so he ran and fled. When the Spirit King woke up, he called out to the earth and touched the pillow, but the earth was also a block. I don't feel like crying in pain, and there is no breath. Another man came by car, recognized the voice of the Spirit King, and got out of the car to look at it. The fruit is the Spirit King. Naibai fell to the ground and asked, "Why did the great king come to this place?"

　　King Chu Ling burst into tears and asked, "Who is Qing?"

　　His people played: "The surname of the subject is Shen Minghai, and he is the son of Yin Shen Wuyu." The father twice offended my king, and the king pardoned him. When his father was dying, he told his subjects, "I have received the grace of the king not to kill twice, and if the king has difficulties, he will give up his life and obey!" The subject kept it in mind and did not dare to forget it. Recently, it has been rumored that the capital has been broken, the zigan is self-reliant, and the starry night runs to Qianxi without seeing the king, and he pursues all the way to this place, not expecting to meet the heavens. Now that the party of Cai Gong is everywhere, the king cannot be adapted to him. The subject's family is in thorn village, not far from here, and the king can temporarily go to the subject's house to discuss it again. ”

　　So he knelt in with the bread, and the spirit king swallowed reluctantly, and was able to stand up slightly. Shen Hai helped get on the bus, as for Thorn Village. King Ping of Chu Ling used to live in the Zhanghua Terrace, the Chonggong Room, and today he watched the Shenhai Farm House, the Door of the Yanmen Penghu, bowed his head and entered, good life was desolate, and tears flowed unceasingly. Shen Hai knelt down and said, "My king, please be relieved." This place is secluded, no pedestrians, live for a few days, inquire about the affairs of the country, and then make advances and retreats. ”

　　The Spirit King was speechless. Shen Hai knelt down again to eat, and the Spirit King just cried, without touching his lips at all. Shen Hai ordered his own second daughter to sleep, and with the will of the Spirit King, the Spirit King did not understand the night of lamentation, and at five o'clock, he did not hear the sound of sorrow. The second daughter opened the door and reported to her father, "The Spirit King has hanged himself in his bedchamber." ”

　　Shen Hai heard that the death of the Ling King was mournful, but he personally buried himself, killing his second daughter to be martyred. Later generations on Shen Hai's sense of the grace of the Spirit King, the burial is a matter of time, and the martyrdom of the second daughter is not excessive?

　　At that time, Cai Gong abandoned the disease and led the generals Dou Chengran, Chao Wu, and Xia To chase after the Chu Ling King Yu Qianxi. Halfway through, he met Zheng Dan and Yi Xiang, and the King of Shu Chu said so, "Now that the guards are scattered, single and begging for death, A certain person can't bear to see it, so he goes to it." ”

　　Cai Gongyue: "Where is Ru now?" ”

　　The two said, "I want to return the middle ear of the country." ”

　　Cai Gongyue: "Wait and live in our army, visit the whereabouts of the King of Chu, and then return to Keye together." ”

　　Cai Gong led a large army to search for yu Ziliang, and there was no trace. Some villagers knew that it was Cai Gong, and offered it with the crown of Chu, saying: "Three days ago, I got it on the shore willow." ”

　　Cai Gong asked, "Is King Ruzhi chu alive or dead?" ”

　　The villager said, "I don't know." ”

　　Cai Gong collected his crown and rewarded it again. Cai Gong wanted to pursue even more, and said to Wu Jin: "The king of Chu took his clothes and crown, and he was exhausted, and many of them died in the ditch, which was not enough to investigate." But if the son is in power, if he gives orders and collects the people's hearts, he cannot try to do anything. ”

　　Cai Gongyue: "But what if?" ”

　　Chao Wu said, "The King of Chu is outside, and the whereabouts of the people of the country are unknown, so when this person's heart is uncertain, dozens of pawns, pretending to be defeated soldiers, shouted around the city: 'The king of Chu's soldiers will arrive!'" Then let dou cheng return to the sub-commission, and so on. Zi Gan and Zi Xi, all cowards and unscrupulous people, when they hear this letter, they will commit suicide in panic. Isn't it beautiful that the Ming Gong slowly returned from the whole journey, sat firmly on the throne, and sat back and relaxed? Cai blatantly. So he sent Guan Cong, who led more than a hundred pawns, to deceive the defeated soldiers, to run back to the capital, to walk around the city, and shouted: "Cai Gong's soldiers were defeated and killed, and the King of Chu's soldiers, and then they arrived!" ”

　　The people of the country believed it and were horrified. The words are the same. The people of the country are trustworthy, and they all go to the city to see. Dou Chengran rushed to Zi Gan, saying: "The king of Chu was very angry, and came to ask for the crime of the king's unauthorized establishment, and wanted to be like Cai and Qi Qingfeng. The king must have made his own plans to avoid humiliation, and his subjects fled for their lives. ”

Words, rush out.

Zi Gan summoned Zi Xi to speak clearly, and Zi Xi said, "This dynasty Wu mistaken me." "The brothers hugged each other and cried. Outside the palace, it was also rumored: "The soldiers of the King of Chu have entered the city!" ”

　　Zi Xi drew his sword first, slashed his throat and died. Zi Gan panicked, and also took the sword and killed himself. The palace was in chaos, and the eunuchs and palace women, who were shocked by each other and committed suicide, crossed the palace, and cried endlessly. Dou Chengran led the crowd back in. The corpse was swept away and hundreds of officials were led to greet Cai Gong's abandonment of illness. The people of the country did not know that it was still suspected that the person who came was the Spirit King; and when he entered the city, it was Cai Gong who abandoned his illness, and Fang Wu reported before and after, all of which were cai Gong's plans.

Duke Cai entered the city and took the throne, changing his name to Xiongju (熊居) for the King of Chuping. In the past, the king of Chu Gong prayed to the gods, and when he worshipped him as a king, he was fruitful. The people of the country did not know that king Chu Ling was dead, and the people's feelings were fierce, and when the king arrived in the middle of the night, both men and women were shocked and opened the door to explore.

The king of Chuping was troubled, but he was secret and conspired with Guan, so that yu Hanshui took the dead body and dressed it with the crown of the spirit, and exiled from the upper to the lower, and the deception cloud had obtained the corpse of the king of Chu, buried in Zi liang, and returned to the king of Ping. King Ping sent Dou Chengran to the camp for burial, and the Ling King. Then the list came out to comfort the people, and the hearts of the people were determined. Three years later, King Ping revisited the corpse of the Ling King, and Shen Hai told him about the burial place, which was to be buried.
