Wu Qi-a person of unkindness, unrighteousness, and unfilial piety, whose virtues are covered by the halo

In the long history of Chinese civilization, there is a kind of person who subverts our existing cognition. Most of them are talented, best known for a while, and their aura conceals their inferior virtues.

As the saying goes, "one white hides one hundred ugly", Wu Qi is such a person.

Wu Qi, a member of the Wei Guo Zuo clan (now Cao County, Heze City, Shandong Province, Dingtao District, Heze City), a military strategist, politician, reformer, and strategist representative in the early Warring States period, "The Art of War of Wu Zi" (also known as "Wu Zi") was handed down to the world, and was called "Sun Wu" together with Sun Wu.

Wu Qi has lived through the three kingdoms of Lu, Wei, and Chu throughout his life. He is familiar with the three schools of thought, military, legal, and Confucianism, and has made extremely high achievements in internal affairs and military affairs. Tang Suzong enshrined ten famous martial arts generals in history, including Wu Qi, in the Wucheng Temple, which was known as the Ten Philosophers of the Wu Temple. When Huizong of Song Dynasty respected Wu Qi as Guangzong Bo, he was one of the 72 generals in Song Wu Temple.

After Wu Qi defected to Chu State, King Chu Mourning appointed Wu Qi as Ling Yin, and Wu Qi, who served as Ling Yin, under the support of King Chu Mourning, carried out drastic reforms in Chu State. Wu Qi’s reforms made Chu State It changed the passive situation that was repeatedly attacked by the Three Jins before, and the national power was unprecedentedly strong. The "Historical Records" said: "So Nanping Baiyue; North merged with Chen Cai, but three Jins; West defeated Qin. The vassals are strong in Chu." They were all afraid of Chu's strength.

Throughout Wu Qi's life, it can be said that "you will be general when you go out, and you will be relative when you enter." He is a man of both civil and military skills. As a general, Wu Qi can protect the country and the people, open up the frontiers and expand the land. Every battle must be countered, and there is more than Sun Wu; for the hero, he can also inspire change, create laws, prosper the country and strengthen the army, comparable to Shang Yang. Guo Moruo once commented: Wu Qi is an indelible figure in Chinese history. Qin used to be referred to as Sun Wu as a military scientist and Shang Yang as a politician.

However, the real Wu Qi is an unkind, unrighteous, and unfilial person. Why do you say that? What kind of bad deeds does Wu Qi have that makes people so disgusting?

Records in the "Historical Records" that in 412 BC, Qi Xuangong sent troops to attack the State of Lu. Lu Mu wanted to appoint Wu Qi to resist Qi, but Wu Qi’s wife was from Qi, and Lu Mu was a bit suspicious: Will Wu Qi secretly communicate with Qi because his wife is from Qi and does not care to help Lu? Wu Qi was eager to become famous. After knowing Lu Mu's doubts, he immediately did something shocking-he went home and killed his wife with a knife, and then cut off his wife's head and sent him to Lu Mu to show his heart.

When Wu Qi, with a determined look, appeared in front of Lu Mu with his wife’s bloody head, Lu Mu was stunned on the spot. Perhaps Lu Mu did not expect that the beautiful head of a woman is not only ornamental, but also The purpose of making people a general.

Wu Qi killed his wife. It seems that it is impossible to let Wu Qi be a general, right?

So Lu Mugong appointed Wu Qi as general. Wu Qi did not live up to Lu Mugong's trust and led the army to defeat Qi.

As the saying goes: "One will become famous and withered." For Wu Qiqi, the first one withered was his own wife. Wu Qi is worthy of being a famous general. Even the wife who accompanied him day and night is just a stepping stone to his fame!

Admire, admire!

The shocking thing is more than that. Wu Qi was originally born in a wealthy family. In order to become an official, Wu Qi was looking for ways to become an official. As a result, his family was bankrupt, but he did not get a job. , So he was ridiculed by the villagers. Wu Qi was so angry that he killed more than 30 people who slandered him.

When he was about to run away, he swore to his mother: "If you don't be a minister, you will never return to defense." Translated into modern text, the general idea is: if I go out and mix well, I will never come back.

Later, Wu Qi's old mother passed away. At that time, Wu Qi did nothing. Hearing the news of her mother's death, Wu Qi did not come back for the funeral! Wu Qi's teacher, Zeng Zi, was deeply ashamed of having such a disciple, so he broke off contact with Wu Qi because of this incident.

Give birth to him, raise himHis mother died. Wu Qi didn't come back to the funeral until he knew it. He didn't come back to see her for the last time when his old mother died, and he didn't come back to send his old mother one last time.

Admire, admire!

Wu Qi is really cruel. In order to realize his ambition, for fame and fortune, he really does everything he can.

People, if they have reached such a point by unscrupulous means, are they still human?

"Kill his wife and seek general", "Mother will not return", Wu Qi is undoubtedly an unkind, unrighteous and unfilial person.

Perhaps it was because of Wu Qi's extreme that it brought him such a terrible result-Wu Qi was shot to death by random arrows.

"Gentlemen carry things with virtue", and virtue is a tool for carrying things and carrying blessings. Even if a person is brilliant, if he doesn't pay attention to self-cultivation, he can only be a villain. Even if he is a prince and general, he does not have this blessing. Although such a person can be prominent for a while, he will inevitably take the blame. This is true of ancient times and modern times.
