There is also the Ching Dynasty where the imperial succession has a large number of causalties but never a open civil war. It was all done in the shadows with poison and a knief in the dark.

There is a same case during the Qing dynatsy,when the emperor Yong Zheng was a prince he asked his men to correct the letter stating that his brother was chosen by the emperor Kang Xi to become the successor of him before Kang Xi is dead.In doing so,he became the emperor and banished or killed his brother.
