King Hui of Chu

King Hui of Chu (Chinese: 楚惠王; pinyin: Chǔ Huì Wáng), personal name Xiong Zhang, was a monarch of the Chu state. Succeeding his father, King Zhao, in 488 BC, he ruled until his death in 432 BC. He was in turn succeeded by his son, King Jian.

In 478 BC, Xiong Sheng (熊勝), the Duke of Bai (白公), staged a coup d'état, killing Prime Minister Xiong Shen (熊申) and Chief Military Commander Xiong Jie (熊結), and abducting King Hui. Shen Zhuliang led his army to the capital, defeated Xiong Sheng, and restored King Hui's rule. Xiong Sheng then committed suicide.
