During the Warring States period, Chu and Qin fought for hegemony, and the poet Qu Yuan was highly valued by the King of Chu. However, Qu Yuan's ideas were opposed by the old school headed by the above officials, doctors and Shanxi merchants, and he constantly vilified Qu Yuan in front of Chu Huaiwang. Chu Huaiwang gradually alienated Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan, who had great ambitions, was deeply distressed. With irrepressible sadness and indignation, he wrote immortal poems such as Li Sao and Nine Questions. In 229 years before Wu Gong, Qin captured eight cities in Chu, and then sent envoys to invite Chu Huaiwang to make peace with Qin. Qu yuan saw through the plot of the king of Qin and risked his life to enter the palace to state his interests. Chu Huaiwang did not listen, but expelled Qu Yuan from the capital. Chu Huaiwang attended the meeting as scheduled and was imprisoned as soon as he arrived in Qin. Chu Huaiwang was filled with remorse and died in the state of Qin three years later. Shortly after the King of Chu ascended the throne, the King of Qin sent troops to attack the State of Chu. The King of Chu retreated hastily and Qin Jun captured Ying City. On the way to exile, Qu Yuan heard the bad news of sudden death and the attack on Tancheng, but he was so desperate that he sighed and jumped into the turbulent Guluo River.
Cai Huangong-Bian Que
After seeing Cai Huangong, the famous doctor Bian Que told Huan Gong that his disease had invaded his skin and should be treated as soon as possible. Huan Gong thought he was in good health, thought Bian Que wanted to take credit, and ignored him. 10 days later, Bian Que persuaded Huan Gong to invade his body while he was ill and make a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, but Huan Gong remained silent. Ten days later, Bian Que said that Huan Gong's stomach was uncomfortable, but Huan Gong still didn't believe it. Ten days later, Bian Que met Huan Gong and turned away without saying a word. Duke Huan sent someone to ask him. Bian Que said that diseases exist in the skin, body and stomach, and can be treated by means of dressing, fumigation, acupuncture, taking fire-clearing drugs and so on. Now the disease has entered the bone marrow and can't be cured. Five days later, Huan Gong was in pain and fled to the State of Qin. Soon, Huan Gong died because of an injury attack and ineffective treatment.
Wu Wang Fucha-Wu Zixu
After Fu Cha ascended the throne, he appointed Ai Bo as the commander-in-chief of the prince of Wu and trained soldiers. Two years later, he attacked the state of Yue and defeated the army in Fu Ba. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, lived on Huiji Mountain with defeated troops, and sent a doctor to give a gift to Taizai for peace. He entrusted the state power to Wu State and was willing to be its servant. The King of Wu was about to grant Yue's request when Wu Zixu advised him, "Gou Jian, the King of Yue, can bear hardships and stand hard work. Now if the King doesn't annihilate him in one fell swoop, he will regret it in the future. " The prince of Wu did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice, but adopted the tactic of Taizai Hao to make peace with Yue.
Five years after making peace with the state of Yue, the prince of Wu heard that Qi Jinggong was dead, and his ministers were fighting for power and profit. The newly established monarch was very weak, so he sent troops north to attack Qi. Wu Zixu exhorted, "Goujian has no two meat and two vegetables in one meal. People who mourn the dead and sympathize with the sick will make a difference. This man's immortality must be Wu's nemesis. Now that Wu has Yue around, it's like having a heart attack. Isn't it ridiculous that the king is committed to attacking Qi without destroying Yue first? " The prince of Wu did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice and attacked Qi. In Aileen, he defeated the army of Qi, so he was awed by the king of Zou and Lu and returned to China. Since then, less and less listen to the counsel of Wu Zixu.
In the next four years, the king of Wu intends to attack Qi in the north. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, adopted Zigong's strategy, led his troops to help Wu fight and presented precious treasures to Taizai. Taizai has repeatedly accepted bribes from the state of Yue. I especially like and trust Yue, and I put in a good word for Yue day and night in front of the King of Wu. The king of Wu has always believed in and adopted the strategy of Taizai. Wu Zixu remonstrated with the King of Wu, saying, "Crossing the river is a great threat. Now, I believe in pretentious and deceptive words and covets. Conquering Qi is like occupying a stone field, which is useless at all. Besides, Pan Geng's patent says:' Anyone who violates the etiquette and does not respect the king's orders will be cut off and killed, so that they can't carry on the family line and don't let it affect the good people of this city.' This is the reason why the Shang Dynasty flourished. I hope your majesty will give up Qi and attack Yue first. If not, it will be too late to regret it later. "The prince didn't listen to Wu Zixu's advice, but sent him to Qi. When Zixu left, he said to his son, "I tried to persuade your majesty many times, but he just wouldn't listen. Now I see the end of Wu. It's no good ruining you and Wu. " He entrusted his son to Baum of Qi, and returned to Wu to report to the king of Wu.
After the emotional rift between Taizai of Wu and Wu Zixu, he took the opportunity to speak ill of him in front of the King of Wu: "Zi Xu is tough and fierce, heartless, suspicious and vicious, and resentment is likely to lead to great disaster. The former king wanted to attack Qi, but Zixu thought it impossible. The king finally sent his troops and won a great victory. Zi Xu was ashamed that his strategy was not adopted, but he was resentful. Now the King of Qi is going to attack the State of Qi again, and Wu Zixu is arbitrary and stubborn, forcibly remonstrating, corrupting and slandering the cause of the King of Qi, hoping that the defeat of Wu will prove his brilliant strategy. Now, the King of Qi personally went out to attack Qi with the armed forces of the whole country. But Wu Zixu's advice was not adopted, so he stopped going to court and pretended to be sick and didn't go out with the king. Your majesty has to watch out, and it is easy to cause great disaster. Besides, I sent someone to spy on him. When he arrived in Qi, he entrusted his son with Qi's bag. As a courtier, if you are not satisfied at home, you will rely on the princes outside. You think you are an adviser to the former king. Now you are distrusted, often unhappy and resentful. I hope the king can find a solution to this matter as soon as possible. " The king of Wu said, "Without you, I doubt him." So he sent messengers to give Wu Zixu his sword and said, "Use this sword to kill yourself." Wu Zixu looked up at the sky and sighed, "Alas! It is said that uncle villain wants to make trouble, but the king wants to kill me instead. I put your father in the lead. Before you were confirmed as the heir to the throne, my sons were fighting for the crown prince, and I risked my life in front of the former king, so I could hardly get the crown prince's position. After you became a prince, you promised to give me a part of the kingdom of Wu, but I had no hope for your reward. Now I listen to the evil words of flattering villains and kill my elders. " So he told his close friend, "You must plant catalpa on my grave so that it can grow into a coffin." . Cut out my eyes and hang them at the east gate of Soochow to see how Yue Kou entered Beijing to destroy Wu. "So he committed suicide and died. Hearing this, the prince of Wu flew into a rage and put Wu Zixu's body in a leather bag and floated into the river. The people of Wu sympathized with him and built an ancestral temple for him by the river. Therefore, this place was named Xushan.
