Introduction: Wu Zixu was persecuted by the King of Chu, and since then he dedicated himself to helping King Wu become stronger and hegemony, and finally avenged him. He was Wu Chen for 38 years, but in the end he ended up with a tragic ending that was given to death and had a different head. What is the reason for this?
Because Wu Zixu has been too selfish all his life, he is completely considering his own interests in everything he does, and even has serious excessive behavior!
Today, I will talk about his life experience in detail, and judges whether he is a "selfish egoist" or not.
In the twenty-three years of King Zhou Jing (522 years ago), King Chu Ping was instigated by the traitorous official Fei Wuji and not only wanted to kill his son, Tai Zijian, but also the family of Wu She, his teacher. Under this situation, Wu Zixu fought to escape and finally defected to the country of Wu.
The death of 2 lifesavers
Wu Zixu’s escape route was very difficult, unkempt, without food and drink, and there were chasing soldiers behind.
ran to the river. Fortunately, a fisherman rescued him, crossed the bank and brought him food. But when Wu Zixu worshiped others, he felt very worried, and specifically instructed the fisherman: "Hang your pot pulp, without making dew." It means to hide my leftovers and don't be discovered and reveal my traces. Unexpectedly, the fisherman committed suicide by jumping into the river immediately after agreeing...
Wu Zixu ran to the Liyang Lashui River again. He was so hungry that he saw a woman hitting flocks by the water and took the initiative to ask for food. After eating and drinking, the woman was worried before she left, and she specifically instructed: "Hold the pot of pulp, no dew." As a result, the woman also dived to commit suicide in order to keep it secret for him...
Do you still remember: Yan Taizi Dan asked Tian Guang to recommend the warriors of Qin assassination, but he was afraid of leaking secrets, so he warned him, but Tian Guang tried to keep it absolutely confidential. And suicide...
Does the author think the ancients are too simple and straightforward? There is even a "black belly" speculation: "These people are probably killed. Later literati deliberately beautify the story to make the story look tragic."
In order to please Helu, he went to find two assassins
Wu Zixu arrived in the country of Wu. At first, Wang Liao Wu received him very hospitably.
Soon, Wu Zixu usurped and attacked the Kingdom of Chu. Gong Ziguang reminded King Wu: "This is Wu Zixu's selfishness. He doesn't want to help our country become stronger, but he just wants to avenge himself!" As a result, the bureaucrats alienated Wu Zixu.
Want to have another chance to take revenge, Wu Zixu can only get close to the ambitious Young Master Guang (Kuang always wanted to be King Wu and secretly bought the Magi and Warriors). So he quietly recommended the Assassin Zhuan Zhu, and got the favor of Gongziguang.
In the five years of King Zhou Jing (515 years ago), Zhuan Zhu successfully assassinated Wang Lao Wu, while Wu Zixu succeeded in helping the son Guangxi to seize the throne. Gong Ziguang became Wu Wang Helu, and Wu Zixu was promoted to "Pedestrian" (an official engaged in the pilgrimage).
Wu Wanghelu wants to cut the grass and root out-chase down Qingji, the son of Lio who has escaped. It was Wu Zixu again, very enthusiastic, efficient and high-quality recommending the assassin to leave... After success, Wu Zixu was promoted to the state.
Whip the corpse and humiliate the wife for revenge
In the fourteenth year of King King's reign (506 years ago), Cai Guo was killed by Chu State Attack, come to Wu Guo for help. Wu Zixu took this opportunity to lead the Chu army into the capital city of Chu. He frightened King Chu Zhao to flee overnight (King Chu Ping has been dead for 10 years).
Wu Zixu, who is eager for revenge, gets red eyes, desperate to find King Chu Zhao. Cai Guo was beaten down by the Chu army. He didn't save him at all, but he vowed not to leave Chu Capital until King Chu Zhao.
In the end, King Chu Zhao couldn't be caught, so Wu Zixu went straight to dig the tomb of King Chuping! Just whip the corpse of King Chu Ping and gouging his eyes is not enough to solve his hatred. He actually allowed King Wu Helu to occupy the wife of King Chu Zhao, and he and Sun Wu and Bai Xi went to occupy the wife of the important officials of Chu State.Son, in order to achieve the purpose of insulting the monarchs and ministers of Chu State...
Look at how the "Wu Yue Chunqiu" is recorded: "Wu Xu can not be known to the king, but to dig the tomb of the King Ping, the corpse, three hundred whips, left foot Practice your abdomen, choose your eyes with your right hand, and say: Who made you use the slanderous mouth to kill my father and brother, wouldn't it be wrong? Even if his wife Zhao Wang, Wu Xu, Sun Wu, and Bai Xi are also his wife Chang and Sima Cheng The wife of Chu is to insult the emperor of Chu.”
For the position of Paul, the husband is recommended to be the prince. Years), Wu Taizibo passed away, and Helu was troubled by the new candidate of the prince.
Fu Cha is ambitious and wants to be a prince, but He Lu thinks that he is "stupid and not benevolent, not the material for being king." So the husband kept going to Wu Zixu for help. Wu Zixu planned for the future and for his own status, he cleverly persuaded He Lu with a three-inch tongue.
Everyone sees the officials clearly: Wu Zixu only looks at whether he benefits him. In order to achieve his own goals, he kills Wangliu Wu and Qingji. He does not care about the life and death of the assassins (and does not care about him); for his own revenge, He only cares about digging the grave and whip the corpse, and doesn't care about the state of Cai that is in danger; there is no good monarch in the state of Chu, and he doesn't care. For his own benefit, he recommends the "stupid and unkind" husband...
被给死
In the thirty-sixth year of King Zhou Jing (484 years ago), Wu Zixu always had serious differences in political opinions with his husband. The husband could not bear it, so he gave a sword Let him commit suicide.
Wu Zixu died in tears, at the age of 75, and served as a minister in Wu for 38 years. Afterwards, his head was chopped off and hung above the city gate, but his body was put into a cowhide bag and thrown into the river...
The late famous Taiwanese professor Zeng Shiqiang commented on Wu Zixu: "...the reason why it ended up so miserably The end of the story is because the two things he did were too much (whipping the corpse, insulting the wife)..." It seems that even if it is revenge, it is better to have a degree.
