Chunshenjun Huang Xie
" Chunshenjun, King Chu could not afford to be ill, Chu State is in a big chaos, you must be careful! "
238 BC, Chu Kaoliwang Xiong Wan was seriously ill, Chu State Order Yin (i.e., the Prime Minister) Chunshenjun Huang Xie was busy and was busy in charge of state affairs. At this moment, a guest named Zhu Ying gave him a solemn reminder.
"Oh. What should I be careful about?"
"Li Yuan . He may want to kill you."
Guest Zhu Ying
"Li Yuan? My Guest?" Chunshenjun smiled and said, "Don't say anything. I know Li Yuan. He is a weak person. I treat him very well. How could he kill me?"
Who is Li Yuan?
He was not only a guest of Chunshenjun, but also once served as his brother-in-law. Why did he kill Chunshenjun?
However, in 262 BC, Huang Xie was reused as the prime minister of Chu by King Xiong Wan of Chu because he successfully rescued Prince Chu from Qin and helped him return to the country to ascend the throne.
During his reign, Huang Xie assisted him and successively completed major events such as saving Zhao Guo (as Wei Wuji stolen talismans to save Zhao) and destroy Lu Guo and other major events, and were very popular.
255 BC Chu defeated Lu
But after 242 BC, Huang Xie began to fall out of favor.
This year, he took the lead in organizing the six-nation coalition to attack Qin and once attacked Hangu Pass . Qin State responded with all his might and defeated the coalition forces of the six countries and fled in panic.
Kuolie Chu attributed the blame for the failure to Chunshenjun and began to neglect him from then on.
The failure to attack Qin can only be said to be a direct inducement. The deeper reason behind it is: Huang Xie has long held the power of Chu State, and has made too many enemies at home and outside, and various small reports are flying all over the sky.
The King of Chu was full of slander, worried that he would be undermined, and turned from trust to suspicion.
Chukaoliwang
In fact, this is normal. After all, since King Kaoli of Chu ascended the throne, Huang Xie was favored for more than 20 years, which was quite long.
Huang Xie, if you are a little wiser, you should retreat bravely like Qin Xiang Fan Ju and protect yourself.
But Huang Xie was unwilling to retreat. In order to please the King of Chu, he racked his brains and came up with an idea.
It turns out that King Chu Kaoli was reigned for many years and never gave birth to a son. Huang Xie tried every means to find a group of suitable men and women to offer to the King of Chu, but no one could give birth to a son.
The king has no son, which means that the crown prince has no one, and maybe another civil strife will be caused.
Li Yuan
A smart foreigner saw the investment opportunities.
He is the Zhao people Li Yuan .
Li Yuan took his sister to Chu from Zhao State, and originally planned to present him to the King of Chu. But after he heard that the King of Chu could not give birth to a son, he began to think: If the problem of infertility lies with the King of Chu himself, wouldn’t my investment be wasted?
Li Yuan changed his mind and first became Chunshenjun's servant, and then set up a trap to dedicate his sister to Chunshenjun .
Li Yuan's sister became pregnant soon, and he himself transformed into the brother-in-law and confidant of the Prime Minister Huang Xie.
But Li Yuan is a very ambitious person. He is unwilling to be Huang Xie's brother-in-law. His goal is to be the brother-in-law of the King of Chu .
Learning that her sister was pregnant, Li Yuan decided to give her to the King of Chu as soon as possible. If she was pregnant with a son, wouldn’t it solve the problem of King of Chu having no son?
But there are two major difficulties in this matter :
First, he must first convince his sister to agree;
Second, he must let his sister do the ideological work of Tonghuang Xie.
Incredible is that her sister actually agreed to enter the palace and agreed to convince Huang Xie.

She first used big stick to scare Huang Xie: "You have been in the prime minister for many years, and it is inevitable that you will offend the brothers of the King of Chu. The brothers of the King of Chu really make the king. You may be in trouble. How can you protect the Prime Minister's Secret and your fiefdom in Jiangdong at that time?"
Next, she threw out a carrot : "If I have a son after entering the palace and become the King of Chu in the future, Chu will also have all the for you. Compared with the disasters you will suffer, which choice is better?"
This is a bad idea, a bad idea that is extremely selfish and harms others and yourself. It is also the most difficult part of Li Yuan’s plan.
What makes people collapse is: Huang Xie actually agreed to !
Huang Xie took the risk and sent Li Yuan's sister out of the prime minister's mansion, arranged it in a secret residence, and then let the King of Chu say that a beautiful woman was about to be presented.
The King of Chu then summoned Li Yuan's sister to the palace to favor her, and soon gave birth to a son, named Xiong Han .
King Kaollie Chu was very excited and made Xiong Han the crown prince and named Li Yuan the sister of the queen .
Li Yuan got what he wanted and became the brother-in-law of the King of Chu. He was valued by the King of Chu and began to participate in the government.
What’s even more terrifying is that Li Yuan is a person who burns bridges across the river. He secretly raised an assassin, intending to find an opportunity to kill Huang Xie and silence him and enjoy wealth alone.
Huang Xie’s disciple Zhu Ying reminded him at this time, but unfortunately he was not adopted. Zhu Ying was afraid that she would be implicated and fled overnight.
Seventeen days later, King Kaoli of Chu passed away. As Zhu Ying expected, Li Yuan entered the palace first and ambushed the assassin in Jimen . Huang Xie just entered the thorn gate and was clamped by the assassin from both sides, cut off his head, and threw it outside the door.
Chu Youwang
Afterwards, Li Yuan killed Huang Xie's whole family. His sister's son Xiong Han succeeded to the throne as King of Chu, and he was later King of Chu You .
This year was 238 years ago. There is still in 215 before the demise of Chu; there is still 15 before the unification of the world by Qin Shihuang, and there is still 17 before the destruction of the world.
Squirrel father and son read the Warring States Period: Chunshenjun is learning Lu Buwei ?
"Why would Chunshenjun agree with Li Yuan's plan?" asked the little squirrel.
" There are two reasons I can think of. One is that is greedy and urged . Chunshenjun was in the court for too long, and the poison of power was too deep. In addition, after the failure to attack Qin in 242 BC, he was neglected by the King of Chu, afraid of losing everything in front of him. Therefore, he urgently hopes to please his former good buddy, King Chu Kaoli, even by deception." Squirrel father replied.
"What is the second reason?"
"Because there are successful cases of that can be used to learn from , Chunshenjun is confident that he can succeed."
"Successful cases? Who?"
Lu Buwei
"Lu Buwei. The relationship between Huang Xie, Li Yuan's sister and Chu Kaollie Wang is very similar to the relationship structure of Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji and Qin Zhuangxiang King (Yinren). Huang Xie decided to learn from Lu Buwei. He might think this way: Lu Buwei is also a human being, and I will definitely do what he can do. Chunshenjun is determined to be his father of the King of Chu, but a pity——”
” What a pity?”
” It’s a pity that he forgot that there is a vicious and vicious Li Yuan beside him. He even forgot that he has been a ruling yin for more than 20 years and has reached the peak of his life. has been out of power, and it will inevitably decline . “
