Chu State, Yingdu.

It has been 20 years since the Marquis of Chu moved the capital to Yingdu, and this young capital is now prosperous, and after an autumn rain, the city has become completely new.

But at this time, Xiong Jian, the crown prince of Chu, was restless. Since Chu Hou Qi fled back from the defeat in Xiguo, Chu Hou began to favor Mrs. Information. And Xiong Jian, who was trained as a prince before, is no longer favored, which makes Xiong Jian very anxious.

Later, Mrs. Xi gave birth to a son named Xiong Yun. And Xiong Yun is very smart and very liked by Chu Hou. When Xiong Yun was twelve years old, the Marquis of Chu planned to abolish Xiong Jian's position as the crown prince and replace Xiong Yun as the crown prince.

When Xiong Jian heard these rumors, he was very anxious, so he went to consult his teacher Pan Shang.

"Teacher, I heard that my father wants to abolish my crown prince and make my younger brother Yun the crown prince, what should I do?"

Pan Shang said, "If the crown prince really wants to abolish your crown prince, can you serve Yun as the monarch?"

"Nope!" Xiong Jian shook his head and said.

"Then can you give up your position as monarch and flee abroad?"

"I am the crown prince, the eldest son of my father, why did I give up the throne of the monarch and flee?" Xiong Jian said.

"Then prince, you have only one way to go!" Pan Shangdao.

"Which way?"

"Can you coup d'état?"

Xiong Jian's face changed, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

.......

Since taking the state of Chu as a target, the state of Huai has not relaxed the collection of intelligence on the state of Chu, and will try to weaken the state of Chu.

After all, it is easy to defeat a large country with a radius of 2,000 miles and a population of millions, but it is very difficult to annex it, and it must be constantly weakened and encroached, and it must be annexed in one fell swoop.

For example, if there is such a thing as civil strife in Chu, the secret guard of Huai State will naturally not let it go. Through various methods and more than ten years of hard work, the secret guards of Huai State have laid a relatively complete network of relationships in Chu State.

It was also through this network that Huai Guo got a lot of information, for example, Chu Hou had the idea of replacing the crown prince.

Chu Hou doted on Mrs. Xi, loved the house and Wuxia, and also liked Xiong Yun, and Xiong Yun was good-looking and smart, so Chu Hou wanted to make him the prince.

Originally, the news did not spread, but with the secret guard of Huaiguo, the news was quickly leaked to the crown prince Xiong Jian.

Xiong Jian has a ruthless face, is unkind, and ruthless, and will never honestly hand over the position of the crown prince, and even if he hands it over, there is a chance that he will rebel nine times out of ten.

Because Huai Guo has been secretly pushing the boat down the river. even helped him give advice and persuaded him to befriend the palace guards.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiong Jian quickly made up his mind. Preparing for a coup d'état.

In order to gain the support of the palace guards, Xiong Jian took out a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to reward these guards, and bribed the palace commander.

In October, the Marquis of Chu returned from a safari, feasted the ministers in the palace, and finally got drunk, and most of the secretaries and scholars in the country returned home drunk, Xiong Jian saw this situation and brought people to the palace. Taking advantage of Chu Hou's drunkenness, he directly surrounded Chu Hou's bedroom.

Then he sent people to control the army guarding the palace, and all those who did not obey were killed, and when Chu Houqi woke up the next day, Xiong Jian had completely controlled the palace.

The ministers of the State of Chu wanted to enter the palace to meet the Marquis of Chu, but they were all stopped by Xiong Jian. Xiong Jian announced that the Marquis of Chu had drunk excessively, suffered from the cold, and was no longer able to govern, and he was in charge of the country as the crown prince, and everything could be left to him.

Hearing Xiong Jian's words, many ministers immediately understood that Xiong Jian had launched a coup d'état. Regarding this coup, many families pretended not to know and did not intervene.

At the beginning, the Marquis of Chu inspired a coup d'état to ascend the throne, and later moved the capital to Yingdu, which offended these nobles and nobles. The relocation of the capital has damaged the interests of many nobles and nobles. Therefore, after seeing the coup d'état of the crown prince Xiong Jian, no one came to stop him.

When Xiong Jian saw this situation, his heart was immediately settled, and then he went to see his father Xiong Qi in person.

"Rebel son, you dare to rebel and imprison your father! You just don't

Are you afraid that the army will be king, and there will be no place to bury your life?" Xiong Qi pointed at Xiong Jian angrily and said.

"Father, King Qin's army is far away in the sky, as long as I can sit in that position, what can I do when King Qin's army comes?" Xiong Jian was not frightened, and said directly.

Xiong Qi's eyes almost burst into flames: "Even if King Qin's army has not arrived, but there are many nobles and nobles in the capital, how can you allow a rebel son to besiege the palace and seize the throne!"

"It's getting dark now, and it won't be long before those priests come to the rescue, and then you'll have a dead end!" Xiong Qi said coldly.

When Xiong Jian heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Father, what time do you see outside? It's already noon, and if those ministers were to come to your rescue, they would have come long ago!"

Xiong Qi looked up at the window, and sure enough, it was three poles outside at sunset, and it was almost noon, and for such a long time, the palace gate was closed inside and outside, even the stupid person should know that something was wrong, but now none of those nobles and nobles came.

Xiong Qi instantly understood that those nobles had already stated their attitude not to participate in the public fight. Just wait for whoever wins, and they will respect him as the Marquis of Chu!

Thinking about this moment, Xiong Qi was suddenly struck by lightning, and the whole person instantly fell on the bed.

"Father, it seems that you have figured it out, so please leave yourself some dignity and kill yourself!" Xiong Jian said that he asked someone to send a white silk.

Xiong Qi looked at the white silk and couldn't help shrinking, and then said to Xiong Jian: "It's okay if you want me to die, but I'm hungry, and I want to eat before I die!"

"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to bring it to you!" Xiong Jian said.

"I'm going to eat bear's paws, so go and send someone to make me a bear's paw!" Xiong Qi said directly.

Xiong Jian's face changed, and he immediately understood that Xiong Mingshi wanted to delay time, and immediately refused: "You want to delay time!"

"Hang yourself now!"

Xiong Qi shook his head again and again and said, "I want to eat bear paws, and then hang myself after eating bear paws, otherwise you will kill your father and king!"

Xiong Jian's face was ugly: "Since you don't want to be decent, then I'll help you be decent!"

As he spoke, he forcibly put Xiong Qi into the white silk and let people hang it directly, Xiong Qi struggled violently, but he was old and frail, and he was not the opponent of several strong men at all.

After a while, Xiong Qi stopped moving, and Xiong Jian immediately sent someone to summon the nobles and tell them that Chu Hou Xue had arrived.

Then he knelt in front of Xiong Qi's corpse and cried, the cry was sad for the hearer and the listener shed tears, and whoever came had to say a word of praise, a good father and son filial piety.

The nobles and nobles of the Chu State rushed one after another, and when they saw the corpse of the Marquis of Chu, they all cried, not to mention how sad the scene was.
