When King Chuping of the Chu state was in order to unite with the state of Qin to restrain the state of Jin, he asked for his eldest son, Crown Prince Jian, to take the eldest sister of the Duke of Qin, Meng Wei. Of course, this Meng Wei is only a title given by history to this woman in the Qin State, not her real name. The surname of the state of Qin is 嬴, and Meng Ying is the eldest daughter of the state of Qin, so she has the title of Meng Wei.
Meng Ying was the daughter-in-law of King Chuping for his son Crown Prince Jian, and according to the marriage contract in 526 BC, King Chuping sent his favorite minister Fei Wuji to the Qin kingdom to marry Meng Wei. However, it was obvious that King Chuping was married to his daughter-in-law, but when Fei Wuji married Meng Wei to the capital of the Chu state, Meng Ying suddenly became the daughter-in-law of King Chuping. What's going on here?
It turned out that these were all ghosts made by Fei Wuji, and after King Chuping took the throne, he made his eldest son Jian the crown prince. At that time, the prince's master was Wu Hao, and Fei Wuji was the prince's young master built for the prince. Wu Hao was a famous teacher of the Eight Classics, and Fei Wuji was different, he completely relied on his little wisdom to ascend to the throne. Therefore, Prince Jian, who had always been upright, hated Fei Wuji, who was not right in his heart.
Fei Wuji is not a fool, and his attitude towards Prince Jian is well understood. Therefore, in 526 BC, when king Chuping sent Prince Fei Wuji to greet him, he saw Meng Wei's beauty and immediately had a bad idea of harming Prince Jian. After Fei Wuji brought Meng Wei to the capital of the Chu state, he vigorously praised Meng Wei's beauty in front of King Chu Ping. There is only one purpose, that is, to arouse the lustful heart of King Chuping and let King Chuping take away Meng Wei in order to separate the relationship between King Chuping's father and son.
King Chu Ping, who had always been lustful, of course, couldn't resist the temptation, so he really fell into Fei Wuji's trap as soon as he bit his teeth. Therefore, the King of Chuping, under the operation of Fei Wuji, impersonated a Woman of the State of Qi as Meng Wei, and the real Meng Ying was privately accepted by the King of Chu Ping. And a year later, the real Meng Wei also gave birth to a son Xiong Yi (Chu Zhao) for King ChuPing.
Although through the black box operation, King ChuPing and Fei Wuji temporarily deceived Prince Jian. But the paper could not contain the fire after all, so later the conspiracy of King ChuPing and Fei Wuji was exposed. Prince Jian was the prince of the Chu state, and sooner or later he was going to be the king of Chu. Therefore, in order to prevent the crown prince from being unfavorable to himself after he ascended the throne, Fei Wuji ran to the King of Chuping again to instigate right and wrong.
King Chuping robbed his son's fiancée, which was a loss no matter what. Therefore, King Chuping was also jealous of his eldest son, and later The Fund Wuji was so deceived, so in 523 BC, King Chuping transferred The Crown Prince Jian away from the capital to guard the city. In 522 BC, Fei Wuji framed Prince Jian and Wu Hao for joining forces with the State of Qi and the State of Jin to rebel, and were bound to put the prince to death.
Although King Chuping listened to Fei Wuji's rumors, thanks to the help of Sima Fenyang, the father of the city, Prince Jian later escaped with his life. It's just a pity that Taizijian did not wait for the opportunity to turn over. After Crown Prince Jian fled to Zheng Guo, he conspired with the Jin State to destroy Zheng Guo, and zheng Guo died when the plot failed.
Then again, Prince Jian escaped. However, Wu Hao and his two sons were killed by Wu Hao and his eldest son by King Chuping, but Wu Hao's second son Wu Zixu escaped and fled to the state of Wu. After Wu Zixu fled to the State of Wu, he used all his life's learning to assist the State of Wu to become stronger. It wasn't that Wu Zixu loved Wu Guo much, he just wanted to use Wu Guo to deal with Chu Guo to avenge his father and brother.
Crown Prince Jian later died in the State of Zheng, but Wu Zixu was successful in the State of Wu. Wu Zixu not only helped the Wu king Lu Lu ascend to the throne, but also assisted Wu Lu to bring the Wu kingdom to the country to become rich and the people strong. Later, the State of Wu launched a major attack on the State of Chu, and drove straight into the capital of the State of Chu. Of course, at this time, King ChuPing had already become an ancient. Although Wu Zixu's arch-enemy is dead, he still has sons and grandchildren.
When Wu Zixu invaded the capital of Chu with the Wu army, the king of Chu at that time was Xiong Yun, the king of Chu Zhao, that is, the child born to Meng Ying. It can be seen that although Meng Wei is not the marriage of King Ming of Chuping, the King of Chuping is still good to Meng Ying. But so what, because King Chuping had a momentary impulse to rob his daughter-in-law and later killed Prince Jian. He himself had a good death, but after his death, The mother and son of King Chu Zhao suffered a great deal because of this. Because of the impulsiveness of King Chuping, King Chu Zhao almost became the king of the country.
Fortunately, King Chu Zhao's life was good, and his personal ability was also relatively outstanding. Wu Zixu finally took revenge, but the State of Chu was in danger, and with the help of the State of Qin, he finally saved the State of Zuo. And King Chu Zhao thus became the lord of Zhongxing, and Confucius praised him for his great path.
