The king of Chu surnamed Xiong Jiujiu and Wei, the second son. After he killed his nephew Chu Yong 'ao, he became king on his own and changed his name to Qian after he acceded to the throne. He was a famous bad king in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is extravagant, profligate, angry and cruel. He is also a dead king of Chu. The people of Chu couldn't stand his tyranny and overthrew his regime. There is a folk saying that the king of Chu has a thin waist, and there are allusions to why the king of Ling Chu has a thin waist.

The picture comes from the internet.

The king of Chu wanted the scholar to have a slim waist, so in order to have a slim waist, the king of Chu only ate one meal a day. With such a large appetite, it is definitely not enough for a person to eat only one meal a day, so everyone is hungry and sometimes can't even stand up.

In fact, this is a bad personal preference of the spirit king, but the Chu people actually cater to the preferences of the spirit king. It not only shows that everyone wants to get ahead, but also says that people suffer under the power politics of the spirit king. If a scholar doesn't even have enough to eat, what energy does he have to study and think? If fewer people really study, the country will become more and more chaotic. Manchu and Qing dynasties are traitors and villains who only kiss up. How to govern the country well? In addition, King Chu Ling himself is an extremely incompetent emperor, so the demise of Chu is also foreseeable.

If King Chu Ling likes not thin-waisted people, but real virtuous ministers and guides the people to be virtuous ministers, then the State of Chu will never perish. The story of the good waist of the king of Chu is also the lesson and experience of all those in power.

The story of king Chu ling

At that time, in order to retaliate against the attack of Wu, the king of Chu was ready to attack Wu. But he was defeated. In order to cover up his defeat, King Chu Ling did not take this opportunity to rectify the army, but built a palace. This matter is also illogical. Of course, no one knows what King Chu Ling was thinking.

The picture comes from the internet.

The king of Chu ordered the construction of a palace called Zhanghuatai, covering an area of 40 miles. A 30-foot platform was built in the middle. It is said that people have to rest three times when they walk. However, when Zhanghuatai was built, Wu Zixu's grandfather Wu Ju opposed it. He put forward his own views on King Chu Ling, saying that according to ancient culture, the square was built for military purposes and to train soldiers. Such a high platform was built for studying astronomy. Don't say that there is no need to build this building now. Even if it is to be built, there are four issues to consider. First of all, it can't be built in the busy farming season, because such a project certainly needs the efforts of the people. The function of building a high platform is to benefit the people, not to provoke public grievances. In addition, this building cannot be built on agricultural land, and the appropriation for the third building cannot affect the national finance.

But as a result, we all know that King Chu Ling finally built a flower stand, and the situation in Chu at that time was not suitable or could not support the construction of this flower stand, so this is one of the main reasons why Chu people dislike King Chu Ling. So King Chu Ling was finally ousted, and he deserved all this. No wonder someone else did it.

The death of king Chu ling

In the last years of King Chu Ling, he ignored the laws and regulations of the country and only knew how to have fun. The people of Chu have been very disappointed with King Chu Ling, and it can be said that they have lost all the hearts of the people.

The picture comes from the internet.

So when King Chu Ling was eating, drinking and having fun in Ganxi, King Chu Ling's younger brother, later King Chu Ping, gave up his illness and left. When King Chu Ling was away, he killed Prince Lu, the son of King Chu Ling, and made his other brother and son king. By the way, I sent someone to western Jiangxi to tell the soldiers of Chu that the king of your own country has changed. Rise and fall without refuge, or die. These soldiers hated King Chu Ling, and soon everyone around them dispersed.

The king of Chu was so lonely that he could only wander in the mountains. When you are hungry, you want to go down the mountain to find food. I met an acquaintance after going down the mountain and asked him for food. But this man said that the new king had ordered that anyone who tried to bring you food would be killed. Later, he met another man, Shen Wuyu's younger brother, who was forgiven by King Chu Ling several times. When Shen Wuyu died, he told his younger brother that he must remember to repay the kindness of King Chu Ling. So Shen Hai took King Chu Ling to his home, treated him well, and asked his two daughters to serve him.

But at night, King Chu Ling had no idea at all. He sat on the bed with his clothes on and began to cry. There is no sound when crying. The daughter reported to Shen Hai that King Chu Ling hanged himself. Shen Hai even killed his two daughters and was buried with him. King Chu Ling failed to be a good king, and he deserved it.
