Chu Zhuangwang's sensational story

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Jun of Chu State, namely Chu Zhuangwang, ascended the throne. In order to observe the dynamics of the ruling and opposition parties and let other countries relax their vigilance against him, he has been in power for three years and has done nothing in handling state affairs. All officials in the DPRK are worried about the future of Chu. Chu Zhuangwang ignores government affairs. He either goes out to hunt and play in the palace every day, or drinks with the concubines in the harem for fun, and no one is allowed to give advice. He ordered the whole country: "Whoever dares to give an idea will be sentenced to death!" The official position of Chu in charge of military and political affairs is Uji Ma. At that time, there was a man who was an official in Uchijima. Seeing that the hegemony of the world powers was very unfavorable to Chu, he wanted to persuade Chu Zhuangwang to give up his absurd life and strive to make Chu a vassal overlord after Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong. But he didn't dare to violate Chu Zhuangwang's ban and directly remonstrate; He racked his brains, but didn't come up with a way to wake Chu Zhuangwang. One day, he saw Chu Zhuangwang and his concubines playing a guessing game, and Chu Zhuangwang had a good time. He had a brainwave and decided to hint at Chu Zhuangwang with riddles in the joy of the game. The next day in court, Chu Zhuangwang remained silent, and Yuji Island accompanied him. Just as King Zhuang was about to announce his retirement from the DPRK, he gave Chu Zhuangwang a riddle: "I saw a bird when I was in the south. It landed on a mound in the south. For three years, it didn't spread its wings, didn't fly, didn't sing and was silent. What's its name? " Knowing that Uji Island is hinting at himself, Chu Zhuangwang said: "If you don't spread your wings for three years, you are growing wings; Not flying, not singing, is to observe people's attitude. Although this bird can't fly, it can fly to the sky; It doesn't sound good, but it will be amazing. Go home, I know what you mean. " Chu Zhuangwang felt that ministers urgently needed Qiang Bing, a rich country, and it was time to rectify the platform and revive Regal. Half a month later, Chu Zhuangwang went to court to personally handle government affairs, abolished ten criminal laws that were not conducive to the development of Chu, and set up nine things that were conducive to the development of Chu, so that five ministers who embezzled and perverted the law were killed and six talented scholars were used as officials to participate in politics, thus governing Chu well. The domestic political situation improved, so he sent troops to crusade against Qi and defeated Qi in Xuzhou. He also sent troops to crusade against the State of Jin, and fought with the Jin army in He Yong, and the Chu army won. Finally, a meeting of vassal states was held in Song State, so Chu replaced Qi State and Jin State and became the overlord of vassal states in the world.
