King Mu of Chu died suddenly after twelve years of reign, leaving his young son Xiong Lu to succeed him as King of Chuzhuang. King Zhuang of Chu was not yet twenty years old when he became the king of the State of Chu, and at this time the powerful military and political power of the State of Chu was the famous Ruo Ao clan Chengjia.
Cheng Jia is the younger brother of the predecessor Ling Yicheng Daxin and the son of the former predecessor Ling Yi Ziyu. It can be said that Ruo Ao is in the middle of the sky at this time, but fortunately, Cheng Jia supports the king of Chu Zhuang. However, other forces in the state of Chu did not think so, believing that King Zhuang of Chu was still junior and that this was the best time to stage a coup d'état, including King Mu of Chu's nephew Gongzixie (xie, four sounds).
Gongzi Xie, because he was jealous that Cheng Jia had inherited the throne of Ling Yi of the State of Chu, took advantage of the rebellion in the State of Shu, a vassal of the State of Chu, and when Cheng Jia led his army out to suppress the rebellion, he held the newly succeeded King Zhuang of Chu hostage in the capital of the state. After hearing the news, Cheng Jia quickly returned to his division and quelled Gongzixie's rebellion, so that King Chuzhuang could inherit the throne without risk.
But this incident also made King Zhuang of Chu feel a deep fear of the Ruo Ao clan, he knew that his roots in the State of Chu were not deep, and if he wanted to regain the military and political power of the State of Chu, he had to use static brakes, taoguang and cultivate obscurity, and slowly accumulate his strength.
Therefore, in the first three years of the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, he indulged in women's wine, sound and horses almost all day, ignoring the government affairs of the Chu state, and handed them all over to the Ruoao clan such as Chengjia, Douban, and Douyuejiao, and put up a sign in front of his palace that read: "Those who enter the counsel, kill without amnesty."
Gradually, the ministers of the State of Chu began to believe that King Chu Zhuang was such a dim prince who did not ask about the world, so they began to relax their vigilance against him. In fact, King Chuzhuang secretly began to cultivate his own forces and identify talents that he could reuse, among which Wu Ju and Su Cong, who risked their lives to advise King Chuzhuang, were among them.
Wu Ju couldn't stand the self-willing degradation of King Chu Zhuang, but he was afraid of being killed if he directly advised him, so he said to King Chu Zhuang, "There is a big bird on the mountain of Chu Kingdom, this big bird is covered in colorful clothes, looks like a spirit, but it has not flown or barked for three years, does the king know what kind of bird this is?" ”
King Chuzhuang knew that Wu Ju was talking about himself, so he said, "This bird has not flown for three years, it is plumping its wings; Three years without calling, is observing the attitude of the people. Although this bird does not fly, it soars into the sky; Although it does not sound, it is a blockbuster. ”
Wu Ju understood what King Chu Zhuang meant, and retreated. But after another half a year, King Chu Zhuang still did not move. At this time, Doctor Su could not sit still, rushed into the palace and directly began to advise King Chuzhuang.
King Chu Zhuang said angrily, "Don't you know that there is no amnesty for those who advise to kill? Su Cong's face did not change color and said: "The king killed me, but I can get the good name of advice." But if I do not advise, the kingdom of Chu will perish, and then the king will bear the notoriety of the king of the kingdom. King Chu Zhuang agreed after hearing this. So he sent the dancers, personally took care of the imperial government, and began to reuse Wu Ju, Su Cong and others. and deliberately reused the Jiang (wei, Sansheng) Jia to use the power of the Jiang clan of the Duke of Chu to suppress the Ruo Ao clan.
When Dou was Ling Yin, King Zhuang of Chu appointed Jiang Jia as Gongzheng. Jiang Jia framed Dou Ban and let King Chu Zhuang take the opportunity to successfully kill Dou Pan. Immediately afterwards, another Ruo Ao clan member Douyue Jiao succeeded to Ling Yin's throne, and King Chuzhuang continued to make Jiang Jia Sima, causing the conflict between Ruo Ao and the Jiang clan to gradually intensify.
Douyue Pepper was originally an arrogant person and did not want to sit still. Therefore, in the ninth year of the king of Chuzhuang, Douyue Jiao took advantage of the Northern Expedition of the king of Chuzhuang and the empty garrison of the national capital, led the Ruoao clan to rebel and kill Jiangjia. King Chu Zhuang returned to defeat the rebels of Douyue Jiao, and destroyed the Ruo Ao clan, and the famous Ruo Ao clan withdrew from the court of the State of Chu, and the King of Chu Zhuang finally began to take control of the military and political power of the State of Chu, and a big bird began to take off.
