In 697 BC e. Huan-wang died and was succeeded by Chuang-wang. However, already in the 4th year of the reign of the new Wang, Zhou-gun Hei Jian attempted to make a palace coup in order to seize Ke, the son of Huan-Wang from the concubine, on the throne. An explanation is given in Zuo-Zhuan: before his death, Huan-Wang instructed Hei Jian to take care of his beloved youngest son, Ke. Zhou-gong took this assignment as the will of the overlord, and immediately after the death of Huan-wan he tried to put Ke on the throne. He did not succeed then. Failed and now. Other dignitaries stood up for the new legitimate ruler of Chuang-wang. Ke was forced to flee the domain, and Hei Jiang was executed.
Almost nothing is known of the other events of Chuang-wang's rule. The ruler was succeeded by his son Si-wang . The youngest son of Chuang-wang was Prince Tui.
