One example:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/アケメネス朝
なお、このスメルディス(カンビュセスの弟本人ではなく、その偽者ガウマータ)の暗殺に始まる政変はダレイオスによる簒位の後に捏造された偽伝ではないかと疑う説もある
  Comments:
Searched ngrams starting with 簒, and found this.  Somewhat better represented than 簒立 (different pronunciations), and far more generic/direct for thrones (nothing about vassals...)
