After Wang Ziwei returned from Qiudi, the sky over the Chu State has been shrouded in ominous clouds, and the actions of the prince in the alliance made the ministers of the Chu State clearly see his undisguised fiery ambition. Throughout the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, no usurper dared to openly engrave the four big words "I want to usurp the throne" on his face, and he was afraid that others would not know - Wang Ziwei was the only one. Therefore, every minister kept a terrible silence when he went to court, and they were so silent that no one dared to say a word more, as if they were in mourning at home.

Attracted by the enormous power of the prince and the enormous interests that followed the coup d'état, the daring careerists rallied around him.

Bozhou Li, who had lost the favor of the prince, was deeply aware of the bottomless abyss on the road ahead; Although he was sent by Jia Ao to Wang Ziwei as an undercover agent, he did not faithfully carry out the king's orders, but curryed favor with Wang Ziwei everywhere. This is because he has deeply absorbed the lessons of his father, Bozong, - he just wants to survive and does not want to be an enemy of either side.

But when the catastrophe was imminent, the Bozhou plough fell to Jia Ao's side, and he could only save his precarious position and life by using the king's power to get rid of Wang Ziwei. And what he did further stimulated Wang Ziwei's nerves, accelerating the speed of Wang Ziwei's usurpation of power and his own demise.

At that time, there were three stumbling blocks in front of the prince, the first was his brother, Prince Yin of the palace stable, who was in charge of the deployment of royal chariots and military horses; The second is also his brother, the right Yin prince Bi (Zi Gan), who is in charge of the country's right army; The third piece is the Dazai Boshu plow. The two princes, like Bozhou Plough, were all sent by Jia Ao to oppose the prince.

The prince besieged and forced Jiao Ao to issue an order, ordering the prince Heiqiu and Dazai Bozhou to build the walls of the three cities of Li, Quercus and Jia.

As a result, this move frightened the Zheng people very much, because the three cities were close to the Zheng State, and they thought that the Chu State would launch a war of aggression against the Zheng State based on the three cities. But Zichan disagreed, and he advised the countrymen: "It doesn't matter. Ling Yin is going to 'do great things'! So get rid of a few stumbling blocks first. The disaster can't reach Zheng Guo, so there is no need for you to panic. ”

After the prince Hei Hu was transferred, Wang Ziwei placed his cronies Xue Ba in the key position of the palace stable.

At the end of October, Wang Ziwei visited Zheng Guo again. When the mission arrived at the border, they received the news that Jia Ao had suddenly fallen seriously ill, and Wang Ziwei immediately ordered the deputy envoy Wu Ju to lead the team to continue on his way, saying that he would "rush back to greet the king."

On November 4, the weather was gloomy and cold, and it was rainy over Yingdu, and there were no pedestrians on the streets early. People all felt an inexplicable depression and a sense of foreboding, as if it was all about to witness the impending crime.

At nightfall, Wang Ziwei entered the palace, and Xue Ba hurried to meet him, and he whispered something to him as he went, but his pace could barely keep up with the speed of Wang Ziwei's walking.

The palace was full of armor soldiers loyal to Wang Ziwei, and when Wang Ziwei saw this scene, his impatient mood to kill the king made him step on his skirt in a hurry. He came to the door of Jia Ao's dormitory, saluted his crown, calmed his restless mood a little, and then resolutely walked into the dormitory, followed closely by Xue Ba and a few guards.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Jia Ao, who was in his prime, was terminally ill at this time, and a living person was covered with bruises like the corpses of dead people, which had to make people suspect that he might have been poisoned slowly. Jia Ao was shocked to see his uncle trespassing in without warning, and as if he had fallen from the sky, but he no longer had the strength to sit up, but with the help of the eunuch, he moved his body upward with difficulty so that he could lean against the head of the bed. He said, "Uncle, if you can't tolerate me, your nephew, who is king, at least let your young nephew go." ”

Wang Ziwei said: "People who think like this are not worthy of being the king of Chu." ”

Jia Ao sighed and said, "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Dr. Bo's words and introduced you, a wild wolf, into the royal family!" ”

The prince walked around and hanged him with a crown around his neck.

The young prince and Jia Ao's other son were twisted in front of Wang Ziwei, and the two children were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. Wang Ziwei said: "Bugu can't bear to see them again, take them out." Then he entered the Taimiao surrounded by his henchmen and held a coronation ceremony, and the prince surrounded him for the king of Chu Ling.

The next morning the people woke up to find that the entire capital was under martial law, and the armoured soldiers of the army and the major families were all over the streets, and they were told that they were not allowed to go out. The townspeople hid in their homes and talked about it, and then the officials who told the incident knocked on the wooden duo and shouted slowly: "The king died of illness last night, and the new king will succeed to the throne on the same day!" ”

When Wang Zibi heard the news that Jia Ao was seriously ill and that Wang Ziwei had returned to the capital, he sent someone to inform his younger brother Hei Qiu, and finally fled to the Jin Kingdom; Prince Hei Zeqiu fled to Zheng Guo. Bozhou Plough was arrested before he had time to escape, and was soon beheaded; The basin that was attached to his head was "fornication with Zheng Guo".

King Chu Ling buried the ancestor in Jia, called "Jia Ao", he did not give his nephew a king's nickname, nothing more than to escape the crime of killing the king; But when this unseemly nickname spread, his crime became even more serious.

Wu Ju was still in Zheng Guo at this time, and the sudden change in the situation made him not know how to address the person who was no longer an envoy to Zheng Ren. The Chu envoy who came to report said: "The widow doctor is surrounding the ......" Wu Ju interrupted him and said: "The son of the king of the Communist Party is surrounded by the long." ”

After King Chu Ling ascended the throne, You Ji was ordered to send an envoy to the state of Chu to congratulate the new monarch on his accession to the throne. At this time, Xue Ba was appointed as Ling Yin, and Xue Qiqiang was appointed Dazai. After returning home, Yu Ji said, "Get ready to pack!" The new king is extravagant, and he is so happy that he will definitely convene the alliance, and we don't have much time to prepare! ”

Zichan said, "Not necessarily, I'm afraid it will take a few years to do it." ”

Wang Zibi only took five cars with him when he fled, and he was like a begger compared to Qin Gongzi Gongzi, who had a thousand leather chariots, but Shu Xiang still gave him the same as Gongzi Gong according to his position in the Chu State, and let the two sit together when various banquets were held.

At that time, Zhao Wu was afraid that Gongzi would have an idea, so he said to Shu Xiang in private: "Gongzi Qin is rich, Gongzi Chu is shabby, how can the two enjoy the same treatment?" ”

Shu Xiang said: "The exiled son's fortune is determined according to his status in the motherland, regardless of whether he is rich or poor. The poem says: 'Do not insult widows and widows, and do not fear the strong. That's what it is. Qin and Chu are rivals, and both of them are under the Qing in the country, so their Yulu in the Jin State should be the same. ”

When Gongzi heard this, he modestly replied: "I was afraid of being expelled by the monarch, so I took the initiative to flee to the Jin Kingdom; Chu Zi couldn't get the king's order, so we all ran here. I only listen to everything my uncle does to the doctor, and besides, I am the same age as Zigan, so what can't I do? ”
