Chapter 452: The Chu State's Tradition of Killing Monarchs

"How dare Wu Zixu be so rebellious?"

Hearing what Bo Ji said, Meng Huan, who was standing beside Qingji, couldn't help but stare at her beautiful eyes, her cherry mouth opened slightly, and she said with an incredulous look.

You must know that openly digging up graves and whipping corpses is in itself a matter of condemnation in the world.

If this matter is placed on ordinary people, it will inevitably make the other party's blood splash in five steps, and since then there will be a deep feud in the sea of blood that will not die and is difficult to resolve.

What's more, King Chuping is the king of a country?

King Chuping had a close relationship with Meng Huan.

King Ping was the previous king of the Chu State, the father of the King of Chu Xiong Zhen (King Zhao of Chu), and the husband of Meng Huan.

The hatred between Wu Zixu and King Chuping has been around for a long time, and it is not unrelated to Meng Huan.

At that time, Wu Zixu's father, Wu Hao, was the court teacher and think tank of the crown prince Mijian, and Wu Hao was involved in the whirlpool of the battle for the throne.

Originally, Xiong Jian could have taken the throne automatically, but a beautiful woman from the Qin State changed the direction of history and changed the fate of the Chu State-

That is Meng Huan.

Of course, Chu Ping's Wang Qi Qi was not a good bird in the first place.

For a long time, the state of Chu has always had a tradition of killing kings and usurping the throne.

As far as Qingji knows, so far, there have been four kings of Chu who became kings by rebellion.

The first place, King Xiong Tong of Chuwu.

King Wu of Chu killed his own nephew to ascend the throne.

After Xiong Tong ascended to the throne, after a series of iron-blooded and heroic battles, the state of Chu was unprecedentedly strong, so he asked Zhou Tianzi to raise the title of Chu Jun.

After being rejected by Zhou Tianzi, he became angry and proclaimed himself king.

His behavior opened a precedent for the princes to claim the title of king, and the king of Chu, who killed the king, was concerned about the society all his life, and finally died on the journey.

second place, Chu Cheng Wang Xiong Yun.

King Chu Cheng killed his brother to ascend the throne.

At that time, King Chu Cheng was deeply trusted and loved by the Chu people, and his brother Xiong Yan was afraid of him after he ascended the throne, so he wanted to kill him.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die?

!

The unruly Chu people have never been able to sit still.

King Chu Cheng decisively launched a palace mutiny, killed his brother first, and became the new king of Chu.

And what's interesting is that King Chu Cheng, who killed the king, was killed by his own son in the end-

King Chumu is a merchant minister, and he is also the father of King Chuzhuang, who later became famous and famous.

King Chu Mu was made the crown prince at the beginning, and he was the rightful successor of King Chu Cheng, and he didn't need to embark on the road of killing the king.

However, King Chu Cheng wavered in the later period and repeatedly wanted to change the crown prince, and King Chu Mu felt that his position was threatened, and after weighing it again, he decided to kill his father and take the throne directly.

So, the crown prince and merchant led his troops to break into the bedroom of his father, King Chu Cheng.

When he arrived at King Cheng's bedroom, King Cheng was lying on the bed, and Dingzhong not far away was cooking bear paws.

Unexpectedly, the last wish was not fulfilled, and King Chu Mu took his sword and directly ended his father's life, and became the new King of Chu at the same time.

Later, under the influence of the Central Plains culture, the situation was much better.

However, the later princes of Chu Ling and Chu Ping also ascended to the throne by killing the king.

After all, these many years of tradition are not easy to change.

King Chuping was the son of King Chu Gong.

After the death of the king of Chu Gong, the eldest brother who abandoned the disease, Gongzi Zhao, succeeded to the throne as the king of Chu Kang.

There are a total of five brothers who abandon diseases, the eldest brother is King Chu Kang, the second brother King Chu Ling, the third brother Zibi, and the fourth brother Zixi, and the youngest in terms of abandonment disease.

The five brothers were all deeply favored by their eldest brother, King Chu Kang.

After the death of King Chu Kang, Xiong Yuan, the son of King Chu Kang, succeeded to the throne for Chu Jiao.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and he abandoned his second brother to kill Chu Jiaoao, and established himself as the king, which was for the king of Chu Ling.

So, the three brothers fled to the Jin Kingdom.

After abandoning illness and rebellion, he supported Zibi as the king of Chu Chu, but it didn't take long for the king of Chu Chu and Ling Yin Zixi to commit suicide, so he abandoned his illness and took the throne and changed his name to Xiongju, which was the king of Chuping.

This experience is quite similar to that of Wu Guo.

But Wu Guo is the elder brother, and the elder brother passed the throne to the younger brother.

The state of Chu is guilty of rebellion, killing the king and seizing the throne!

It's not the same.

"King, you must stop Wu Zixu from doing such a rebellious thing."

Meng Huan hurriedly said to Qingji.

It's not that she has much affection for King Chuping, and she can't see King Chuping being dug up and whipped by others, but if Wu Zixu really does this kind of thing, the Chu people will definitely run away.

And Wu Zixu's behavior has made him himself criticized, not to mention, it will also drag Wu Guo into the water and intensify the hatred between Wu and Chu.

Qingji naturally thought of this as well.

"Where is Wu Zixu now?"

Bo Yan, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Back to the king, when the minister came, someone had already told Wu Zixu where the tomb of King Chuping was located, presumably Wu Zixu was already there at this time......

Hearing this, Qingji didn't say much, and after boarding the car, he let people drive to the place where the tomb of King Chuping was located.

As the relic of King Chuping, Meng Huan knew where his bones were buried, so he took the initiative to lead the way.

……

In the west of Yingdu, on the top of a hilltop full of green pine and cypress trees, Wu Zixu has found the mausoleum of King Chuping under the guidance of the old people in the palace of Chu.

However, he did not dig up the body of King Chuping and then whip it as Qingji and others expected, venting the hatred in his heart.

Wu Zixu hated King Chuping to the core, and it was right that he couldn't be dismantled.

It's just that people are dead, so what can they do?

"Boom!"

Just then, a team galloped in.

The person at the head is the king of Wu - Qingji.

Meng Huan, Fan Li, Bo Biao, and a group of stubborn guards all rode in the chariot and followed behind Qingji.

Qingji immediately walked up to the top of the mountain, and at a glance he could see Wu Zixu standing there stunned.

Standing beside Wu Zixu was not a heavily armed soldier, but a group of men wearing dark clothes, bird feathers on their heads, and their faces painted with various colorful colors.

They are the local witches, the witches who are responsible for sacrifices, prayers, and other activities in places like the state of Chu.

I saw these witch blessings in front of the tombstone of King Chuping, dancing with their hands, shaking the mysterious musical instrument similar to a rattle in their hands from time to time, one step at a time, and there were words in their mouths.

Anyway, ordinary people should not understand their mysterious language.

This is a language that can communicate with ghosts and gods, and normal people naturally can't hear it.

"The King."

Seeing Qingji, who had come to him, Wu Zixu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Zixu, what are you doing?"

Qingji asked suspiciously.

"Returning to the king, the minister is taking revenge on Xiongju (King Chuping)."

That's it?

Qingji was quite puzzled, according to historical records, shouldn't Wu Zixu "dig up the tomb of King Chuping, take out his corpse, whip three hundred, and then be"?
