After Fei Wuji completed his mission, he returned to Chu to report to King Chu Ping. King Chuping was very interested in the future crown princess, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions. This curiosity of his was in Fei Wuji's heart, so he pretended to be casual and talked about the beauty and temperament of the princess. He said that he couldn't describe her appearance in words, even if Zhuang Jiang was resurrected and made jade, he would be ashamed to see this princess.

King Chuping's ** was aroused by Fei Wuji's hook, he blushed and was already thinking about it, but Fei Wuji still turned a blind eye, talking non-stop on the side, and continued to tease his feelings. King Chuping couldn't stand it anymore in the end, and finally held back a sentence: "Wuji, do you think the widow has any reason to marry the princess of Qin instead of the prince!" ”

Fei Wuji immediately stopped talking, making a frightened look, and then lowered his head and remained silent, as if he had made a big mistake. But King Chuping did not give up, and he had to give himself a reason.

Fei Wuji was silent for a long time before raising his head and saying, "It's not impossible for a king to marry. Historically, the monarchs of great powers have to marry powerful countries. Although you are the king of Chu and the overlord of the princes, there is no princess of a big country among your wives and concubines, and the prince's mother is only the daughter of a feudal monarch, which is not commensurate with your status; Moreover, it is natural for the king to marry first and the prince to marry later. Therefore, you can marry the princess of Qin. ”

King Chuping was so happy that he was going crazy, he hugged Fei Wuji, kept praising him, and untied his sword and gave it to him. But Fei Wuji was worried, he politely refused King Ping's reward, and said with a sad face that he didn't know how to explain it to the prince. King Chuping patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "With me here, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

But when Fei Wuji turned around to see the crown prince, he pretended that nothing had happened, and repeated what he had just said to King Chuping. The prince was also very happy, his fantastic fantasies about his future wife were no less than those of his father, and the young man's emotions were easily diverted - he began to like the teacher again.

On the day of the wedding, the prince rushed to the temple in a gorgeous wedding dress. But before he could enter the square, he saw another guard of honor in the square, and he was told that King Ping was having a big wedding, and asked him to wait for the next wave before entering. King Chuping executed the plan so tightly that even Ling Yin Zibian didn't know the secret, so the ministers were stunned, and Fei Wuji was even more anxious, constantly asking his colleagues what happened. Everyone was at a loss, completely unsure why.

King Chuping married the daughter of Duke Qin Ai, and gave one of them as a concubine to the crown prince. He didn't explain the reason, and the ministers didn't dare to ask, and the farce ended in a hurry.

In the twentieth year of the reign of King Lu Zhao (BC522), the son of King Chuping and Bo Ying, Prince Ren (later King Zhao of Chu), was born, and King Chuping showed the joy as if he had become a father for the first time. And in the harem, a family of joy will inevitably bring a family of grievances. The queen's face is declining, but her jealousy is flourishing; Fei Wuji took the opportunity to provoke between the two ends, which led to constant conflicts between the queen and Bo Huan, and King Chuping favored the new love, and the queen moved back to her parents' house in a fit of anger.

Fei Wuji immediately passed the news to the prince Jian (the prince lived outside Fangcheng Mountain at that time). The prince was furious and said a lot of things that he should not say as a son and his subordinates. He said that the father took away his son's spouse; New love takes away the glory of old love; I'm afraid Wang Ziren is going to take away his position, right?

King Chuping planted a few eyes and ears around the crown prince, and they were bribed by Fei Wuji, and as a result, these words were first obtained by Fei Wuji. After carefully processing those disrespectful words, he ordered the ears and eyes to report to King Chuping. King Chuping was skeptical, because some of the rhetorical methods did not quite resemble the style of the prince—the prince did not have such a high level of literary recuperation; He sent Fei Wuji to lend the name of Zheng Guo to observe the prince's movements.

Fei Wuji stayed at Chengfu for a few days on his way to and from Zheng Guo. He returned to China and said: "The crown prince and Wu Hao are preparing to seize the cities outside Fangcheng Mountain to launch a rebellion, and he regards himself as a monarch like Zheng and Song!" Qi and Jin also supported those traitors, and once Fang Cheng became independent, the Chu State would inevitably suffer greatly. ”

Prince Jian is not a good man and a woman, and he doesn't care much about etiquette and humility; He learned knowledge from Wu Hao, and learned bad habits from the gentlemen; But he learns the latter a little more intensely. King Chuping was not unaware of the above situation, and he never hoped that the crown prince would become a righteous gentleman like Jin Shensheng; But Fei Wuji's words caused him to worry, and he made up his mind to get rid of the crown prince.

At this time, Ling Yin Zibian reminded him: "Commoners and slaves still have the right to defend themselves, let alone the prince of a big country?" Moreover, all the king received was evidence, and it was unfair to the prince to convict him without verifying the truth. Once the king is wrongly judged, he will regret it, so it is better to summon the crown prince back to confront Dazai and see what the outcome will be before making a decision. ”

King Chuping immediately summoned Wu Hao back and asked him to confront Fei Wuji. Wu Hao admits that the prince has said something out of the ordinary—because he knows that the prince has many eyes and ears around him, and such things cannot be denied—but firmly denies that the prince is preparing to start a rebellion.

Fei Wuji asked angrily, "Then what is the purpose of the prince sending several messengers to Zheng and Jin every month?" To persuade them to hand over their land and wealth? ”

This was a trumped-up fact, but King Chuping did not verify the authenticity of the situation, but sternly asked Wu Hao to explain the purpose clearly.

Wu Hao knew in his heart that since King Chuping married the princess of Qin, the status of the crown prince had become precarious, and King Chuping would make a move on the prince sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so early. It doesn't matter whether the traitor is true or not, that's just the reason why King Chuping brought down the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Wu Hao's temper suddenly broke out, he first scolded Fei Wuji, and then said to King Chuping: "The king has already made a lot of mistakes, why should he believe rumors?" This sentence made King Chu Ping's lungs explode, although he became faint and stubborn, but he would never admit it. Wu Hao's impulse had extremely serious consequences: some of his confessions became all confessions, and some of the truths of the informers became all the truths.

King Chuping immediately detained Wu Hao, and summoned the city father Sima Fenyang into the palace (Fenyang was reporting on his work in Yingdu at this time), and ordered him to rush back to the city father immediately to kill the prince.
