Idiom story

1、 it is said that during the spring and Autumn period, the king of Chu planned to appoint his eldest son, Shang Chen, as the crown prince. He did not decide for a moment, so he went to Lingyin (Prime Minister) to discuss with him. Zishang said: "king, you are still very young, and your love for your son is not specific. If you set up a prince so early, and abolish the prince when you empathize with another son in the future, it is easy to cause trouble. Moreover, in the tradition of Chu Dynasty, the youngest son was often the one who really inherited the throne. Take the appearance of Mr. Shangchen as an example. I think his eyes are as terrible as bee eyes, and his voice is as bad as the cry of a jackal. According to Xiangfa, this kind of person is ferocious. If he becomes the prince, he will certainly do something unjust. " When the king of Chu heard this, he didn't think it was right, so he made him the prince. When Shang Chen heard that zishang had said a lot of bad things about him in front of his father, he held a grudge against zishang. Once, taking advantage of the opportunity of fighting with other countries, he said in front of the king of Chu that zishang had been bribed by an enemy country. The king of Chu gave zishang a death sentence without asking for his love. Later, when the king of Chu learned the truth, he was too late to repent. Soon, the king of Chu really began to hate the Minister of Commerce, just as zishang said. He fell in love with Zizhi, his second son, and wanted to change Zizhi to Prince. When Shang Chen knew this, he conspired with his teacher pan Chong to lead the army in the palace to encircle the king's palace. He forced his father to death and made himself king. He was called King Mu of Chu. (2) during the Jin Dynasty, pan Yangzhong saw Wang Dun's face when he was young and said, "your eyes like bees have come out, but your voice like jackals has not yet been heard. You will certainly eat people and be eaten by others in the future." Later, Wang Dun did not show much kindness and righteousness, and he killed more.
