Do you know the story? The next editor will explain it to you.

Chu Chengwang was Chu Duao’s younger brother. At the beginning, Chu Duao felt that his younger brother was a threat, so he wanted to kill him. Sui Guo, after getting help from the Sui Guo people, successfully killed his brother to take the throne. King Chu Cheng was a very successful man in history. After his succession to Guangde, he adopted a series of measures against Baili. He is undoubtedly a good emperor in the eyes of the people.

In the diplomatic aspect, King Chu Cheng also did a good job. During his reign, he actively maintained friendly exchanges with various countries. At the same time, he often paid tribute to Zhou Tianzi to please the favor of Tianzi. Only in this way can his country develop steadily. King Chu Cheng is also actively expanding its territory and making its area larger. This shows that King Chu Cheng is indeed a very effective emperor, but it is such an emperor who was finally forced to commit suicide by his son.

Chu Chuwang wanted to make his own The son Shangchen became the prince, but was opposed by his next minister. He said: "The eyes of the Shangchen man are like Hu Feng. He is very cruel. Now the emperor is still young and has many spouses and concubines. If you don’t It is okay to regret the establishment of the prince as the prince. If you regret it, you will definitely cause a disaster if you want to change the prince." However, Chu Chengwang did not listen to it, but insisted on establishing the prince as the prince.

In the forty-six years of King Chu Cheng, King Chu Cheng regretted that he wanted to change another person to become the prince. This news reached the ears of Shang Chen and immediately aroused the vigilance of Shang Chen. But he was also afraid that this was fake news, and someone spread it intentionally. So he ran to ask his trusted teacher Pan Chong, Pan Chong gave him a good idea, told him to feast Jiang Zhi (Chu Chengwang's sister), try to provoke her at the banquet, maybe maybe Get something out of her mouth.

Shangchen followed his advice, At the banquet Jiang Zhi said angrily: "You are such a lowly thing, no wonder the emperor wants to kill you to let the prince take the position of prince." Only then did the business minister know that the news was true, so the business minister went to Pan Chong again to discuss the countermeasures. , Pan Chong asked the business minister: "Are you willing to stay in the future?" The business minister answered no, and Pan Chong asked again: "Since that is the case, would you like to run away?" The business minister answered again, Pan Chong said: "That There is no way, since if you are unwilling, you can only choose the most dangerous path-to initiate a coup." Shang Chen felt that the matter had come to this, it is better to tear the face with the emperor.

So in October of the same year, the merchants led a group of guards to surround Chu Chengwang and force him to give up the throne to himself. Upon seeing this situation, King Chu Cheng knew that the merchants were real, and he regretted that he had not listened to the ministers. However, after all, King Chu Cheng was a generation of kings. He was very clever. He knew that his most important thing was to delay time and die later. Have a little more opportunity for yourself.

So he discussed with Shangchen that he wanted to eat a dish before he died, and Shangchen felt he could not escape anyway, so he agreed. Who knows that Chu Chengwang even said that he wanted to eat bear paws, and when the minister heard it, he felt something was wrong, not because bear paws were too expensive to afford, but because bear paws took time to do. The minister is not a fool, he knows that his father wants to delay this. So he did not promise the emperor's request. Seeing that his plan was seen by the prince, King Chu Cheng had to hang himself and commit suicide.

The Shangchen succeeded to this position, and the Shangchen is also historically said. It is said that when Chu Chengwang died, his eyes were still open, perhaps because he was very unwilling. Later, the Shang Chen named his father "Success", so that the eyes of King Chu Cheng closed.
