Chapter 131: The Prince Yun seizes the throne

Peng Zhongshuang resigned from Ling Yin after the funeral of King Wen of Chu, and the prince took advantage of his blood relationship with Du Ao to successfully squeeze out rivals and eventually became the third Ling Yin of Chu.

Wang Zishan is ostensibly diligent in government affairs, but in fact he is depraved; This scoundrel incessantly instigates his nephew to do depraved things that are inappropriate for his age. You know, children who are just about to enter adolescence are full of curiosity about those things, and they are especially easy to indulge in them! In this way, the young Ao became as debauched and promiscuous as his uncle.

A few times, Mrs. Peach Blossom found that the eyes of Du Ao looked at her like the old prostitute of Cai Aihou looked at herself, and her eyes were full of evil thoughts. She couldn't help but feel creepy, fear, and disgust.

Because Du Ao was addicted to wine and couldn't extricate himself, Wang Zishan controlled the power of the country in his own hands. Soon, Ao hated his brother. It turned out that Wang Ziyun had been protected by Ruo Ao, who had received a strict aristocratic education that was completely different from that of Du Ao, and had already shown political talent and noble character that was not commensurate with his age, and his reputation in the royal family easily surpassed that of the little bastard who sat on the throne. The most unbearable thing for Du Ao is that his mother secretly favors his brother: when the two of them go to visit his mother, she always holds her brother's hand and talks non-stop, and she doesn't even look at him, as if she doesn't exist at all.

A few close friends around him thought that if this trend continued, it would be a matter of time before the monarch would be replaced by his brother, and they began to incite Ao to hate his brother. Ao was so annoyed that he finally decided to kill his own brother. He asks Prince Seon for help, but his uncle unexpectedly rejects him. Wang Zishan's idea is that since he has firmly sat in the highest position of the minister and firmly holds the military and political power, he will not allow uncontrollable incidents to occur again, so as to prevent others from winning in chaos.

But Ao Ao is determined, and he plans to bypass his uncle and go it alone. "It seems that if nothing is done, the royal family will really be in chaos!" Wang Zishan thought so, so he secretly revealed the news to Wang Ziyun, who didn't even have time to prepare to salute when he received the news, and immediately fled to Suiguo.

After Wang Ziyun fled, Du Ao became more suspicious and suspicious, and gradually revealed his tyrant tendencies. Once upon a time he was kind to the prince and listened to his advice; But due to Wang Zishan's betrayal, he lost the opportunity to kill his brother, and he no longer trusted Wang Zishan and did not want to be controlled by him anymore.

Soon Du Ao proposed to crusade against Suiguo, but the ministers felt that this proposal was too incredible, so they all objected - Suiguo had always obeyed Chu Guo's words and did not do anything unruly.

Du Ao violently overturned the desk and returned to the dormitory with a snort. When he returned, he poured out all his anger on the minister: an unlucky man was beaten by him to break his tendons, vomit blood, and finally be thrown into the stable to die.

Later, Du Ao once again put forward the idea of cutting down Sui, but it was rejected again as usual. But what the ministers saw in his eyes this time was not only anger as last time, but an extra vicious gaze that only emitted when he wanted to kill. As the ministers expected, after returning to the harem, Ao committed several more heinous crimes, and they were much more cruel than the last time.

The brutality of the Ao cause great concern among the ministers. They thought that as he grew older, one day he would surely inflict cruel atrocities on his ministers. In order to prevent future risks and not be charged with killing the king, the only way is to summon the little tyrant's most feared competitor from Suiguo and get rid of Ao in his name.

Wang Zishan and Ruo Ao reached a rare agreement on this matter, and Dou Ban was immediately secretly sent to Suiguo to recruit Wang Ziyun to return to China. Dou Ban went to see Suihou again and informed him of the plans of the Chu people. Sui Hou was overjoyed, and immediately promised to help - if he served the future ruler of Chu comfortably, Suiguo's life would be much better.

In the third year of Chu Duao (the twenty-second year of Lu Zhuanggong), Dou Ban first returned to Chu and informed his conspirators of his visit to Suiguo.

As soon as the appointed time came, the army hugged the prince Yun Hao and went straight to Yingdu. The ministers blocked the news, and it was not until the army reached the north gate that Ao learned how critical his situation was. He hurriedly called a court meeting, but none of the ministers came—and all the people ran out to meet the prince.

Wang Zishan broke into the palace with the armor and surrounded Wang Ziyun, and the rebels entered the main hall and saw Du Ao sitting motionless on the throne. Du Ao said to Wang Zishan: "Uncle, you disobeyed the king's orders, did not get rid of the rebellious ministers and thieves, but brought Yun to kill Bugu, are you worthy of your identity and name?" ”

Wang Zishan said: "I accept your order to be sorry for my identity and name. With that, he hurried up the steps and swung his sword to cut Ao's neck.

Wang Ziyun was immediately crowned and enthroned as King Chu Cheng. In order to belittle his brother and avoid the charge of killing the king, King Chu Cheng only gave him the nickname "Ao" (Ao is one level lower than the king) on the pretext that he did not fulfill the duties of a king. Wang Zishan became the chief contributor to the country's disruption, saying that it was because of his advance that the future king was not murdered.

It's a miracle that the villain has always stood tall in good times and bad.
