Chapter 266 Chapter 265 Hengyang King Ma Xisheng

Ma Xisheng, courtesy name Ruona, is the second son of Ma Yin.Ma Yin has 10 sons, among which Xizhen, the eldest son, is the most wise, and he should have inherited the throne, but because Xisheng's birth mother, Concubine De, is beautiful, she is deeply favored by Ma Yin, so Xisheng also wins because of her mother's favor.More than a month after Ma Yin's death, that is, in November of the first year of Changxing (930 AD), Ma Xisheng ascended the throne.After Li Li, he levied and extorted violently, ignored the government, and lived a decadent life.Hearing that Liang Taizu was fond of chicken, he followed the example of cooking 50 chickens a day for meals. Even when his father was about to be buried, he only knew how to eat chicken without feeling sorry for him.Xi Sheng was frightened by the great power in the north, Hou Tang, and did not dare to be called the king of Chu.Xisheng died of illness two years after his reign.Afterwards, he was crowned King of Hengyang.
