The ancestors of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, are descendants of Yu Xia, the son of Xia Shaokang. Emperor Shao Kang's son was sealed in Huiji, respectfully offering sacrifices and inheriting Yu Xia's sacrifices. They were tattooed, their hair was cut short, grass was removed and cities were built. After more than twenty generations, it spread to Yunchang.
When Yun Chang was in power, he resented the king of Wu and attacked each other. After the death of Yun Chang, his son Gou Jian succeeded to the throne. This is the King of Yue. In the first year of Gou Jian, the King of Yue (496 BC), the King of Wu heard that Yunshang had died and sent troops to crusade against Yue. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, sent warriors who dared to die to challenge Wu Jun. The warriors rushed into the Wu Jun position in three rows and committed suicide screaming.
Wu Bing was dumbfounded. The Vietnamese army took the opportunity to attack Wu Jun, defeated Wu Jun in Lee and shot Prince He Lv. He Lv warned his son Fu Cha before he died: "Don't forget to cross the river." Three years ago (496 BC), Gou Jian heard that Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was training day and night, and he wanted to retaliate against Yue, so he planned to attack Wu before sending his troops.
Fan Li remonstrated: "No, I heard that weapons are killing weapons, and it is against morality to attack and fight first." Conspiracy to do immoral things, love to use weapons, and personally participate in inferior things will definitely be opposed by the Emperor of Heaven. This is definitely not good. King Yue said, "I have made my decision." So Banshi marched into Wu.
Hao readily accepted, so he introduced the doctor to the king of Wu. A kowtow said, "I hope your majesty will forgive me for the crime of sword. We will give you all the treasures handed down from ancient times. If you are not lucky enough to be pardoned, Gou Jian will kill all his wives and children, burn the jewels, and lead his 5,000 soldiers to fight you to the death, and you will also pay a considerable price. "
Taizai Hao took the opportunity to persuade the King of Wu: "The King of Yue was a courtier, and pardoning him is beneficial to our country." The king of Wu promised to plant it again. Zi Xu remonstrated, saying, "If you don't destroy Yue State today, you will regret it. Jane is a wise monarch, and Zhong He is a wise minister. If sentence Jian can return to Yue, it will be chaotic. "
The King of Wu did not listen to Zixu's advice, and finally pardoned the King of Yue and withdrew his troops to return home. When Gou Jian was trapped in Huiji, Zeng Kui sighed, "Will I end my life here?" "Species" said: "Shang Tang was imprisoned in Xiapi, trapped in yǒu, Jin fled to Zhai, Qi fled to Ju, and finally became kings, dominating the world.
From this perspective, can't our situation today be regarded as a blessing? "The prince pardoned the king. When Gou Jian got home, he thought carefully and painstakingly, hung gall in his seat, sat down and tasted gall in his diet. He also said, "Have you forgotten Huiji's shame? "He farmed himself, his wife wove herself, and there was never meat for dinner.
Never wear two layers of gorgeous clothes, be polite to sages, be considerate, treat guests warmly, help the poor, mourn the dead and work with the people. The King of Yue asked Fan Li to manage state affairs, and Fan Li replied, "I am not as good as you when it comes to fighting; Pacify the country and bring people close. I am not as good as planting. "
So, he entrusted the state affairs to the doctor, asked Fan Li to make peace with the doctor Ji Zhe, and then went to the State of Wu as a hostage. Two years later, Wu Pai sent him back to China. After returning to China from Huiji for seven years, Gou Jian always comforted his soldiers and people, hoping to avenge Wu.
Two years later, the prince of Wu will crusade against Qi. Zi Xu remonstrated: "No, I heard that James Zhu never fried two good dishes, and shared joys and sorrows with the people. The immortality of this man must be a worry for our country. When Wu arrived in Yue, it was a worry, while Qi was like a scar to Wu. I hope that the king will give up attacking Qi and attack the country first. "
The king of Wu refused to listen, and sent troops to attack Qi. He defeated Qi in Aileen and captured Gao and Guo's family back to Wu. The king of Wu blamed Zixu, who said, "Don't be too happy!" " The prince of Wu was very angry and Zixu wanted to commit suicide. When the prince heard this, he stopped him.
Doctor Yue said, "I observed that the King of Wu had too much power. Please allow me to sound him out and borrow food to find out the attitude of the prince of Wu towards Yue. " Kind of borrowed food from the prince of Wu. The prince of Wu wanted to lend it to him, but Zixu suggested not to. The king of Wu still lent it to him, and the king of Yue was secretly happy.
Three years later, Gou Jian summoned him and said, "The king of Wu killed Xu, and there were many flatterers. Can you attack Wu? " Fan Li replied, "No." The following spring, the king of Wu went to Huangchi in the north to meet the prince. All the elite troops of Wu followed the king to the meeting, and the old and weak soldiers and the king stayed in Wudu.
Gou Jian asked if he could attack Wu. Fan Li said, "All right". So he sent 2000 soldiers familiar with water warfare, 40000 well-trained soldiers, 6000 well-educated and high-ranking guards, 1000 management and technical officials to attack Wu. Wu Jun was defeated, and the Vietnamese army also killed the king of Wu.
The emissary of the State of Wu rushed to the King of Wu, who was meeting the prince in the Imperial Pool. He was afraid that everyone in the world would hear the news of the fiasco and stick to it. The prince of Wu had an appointment with a vassal in Huangchi, so he sent someone to make peace with Yue with a generous gift. The King of Yue estimated that he could not destroy the State of Wu, so he made peace with the State of Wu.
Gou Jian pitied him and sent someone to say to the king of Wu, "I will put you in Yongdong! Rule a hundred. " The king of Wu declined politely and said, "I am too old to serve you!" " "Then he committed suicide, burying his face in suicide and saying," I'm ashamed to see my son! " "The king buried the prince and killed Taizai Hao.
Original text:
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, is a descendant of Yu and the illegitimate son of Shao Kang, the emperor of Xia Dynasty. Sealed in Huiji, in order to keep Yu's sacrifice. Tattoos have broken hair and covered it with grass. After more than twenty lifetimes, as for the permission. When he allowed Chang, he got into a fight with the king of Wu and complained about it. Allow the regular pawn, and the son will see the ceremony, which is the king of Yue.
In the first year, Wu Wang Yunwen died repeatedly and decided to attack Yue. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, challenged the dead. Three lines later, he arrived in Chen Wu and died screaming. Wu poetry observed that the more he attacked Wu poetry, wuyue was defeated and the prince was shot to death. He told his son Focha, "Don't forget to cross the road."
Three years later, when Gou Jian heard that Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, was withdrawing troops day and night, he reported that he had gone to Vietnam. The more he wants Wu not to send it to him, the more he wants it.
Fan Li remonstrated: "No, I have heard of the weapons of soldiers, and those who are enemies of morality are also the last thing." Conspiracy against morality, the use of murder weapons, and attempts at the end, God forbid, are not good for the walker. " King Yue said, "I have made up my mind." So I started my career. The king of Wu heard that there were elite soldiers attacking Yue, and the defeated husband had pepper. The king of Yue lived in Huiji, with more than 5,000 soldiers. The prince of Wu chased it and surrounded it.
Gou Jian recalled his difficulties and sighed, "I'm here at last?" The seed said, "Tang is a summer platform, and King Wen is imprisoned. He went to Zhai, and he went to Ju, and his minions were. If you look at it, why not? " Since Wu pardoned Gou Jian, the king of Yue, Gou Jian began to rebel against the country, but he was anxious. He dare not sit down, nor dare he sit down to eat.
Say, "Have women forgotten the shame and sin they will remember?" Self-cultivation, self-weaving, eating without meat, clothing is not important, condescending to sages, welcoming guests with kindness, vibrating the poor, and working with the people. In order to let Fan Li govern the country, he said to him, "There is no such thing as a soldier's armor; It is better to fill the country and attach it to the people. "
Therefore, the politics of the whole country belongs to the category of doctors, and being a successful doctor is Wu's quality. At the age of two, Wu Guili. Gou Jian returned from joining forces in seven years and followed his disciples in order to report to Wu. When the doctor saw it, he said, "The new country is in exile, and now it is back to Yin, and it is decorated for profit. Wu will be afraid, and fear will be difficult. " Moreover, the strike of the raptor will hide its shape.
Zi Xu said: "If the King doesn't listen to the advice, Wuqi will be destroyed in the next three years!" When Taizai heard this, he argued with Zixu, because Zixu said, "Wu Yuan is honest and patient. How can he care about the king if his father and brother ignore him?" Wang Qian wanted to cut Qi, but he was forced to remonstrate and made meritorious service, so he used it to oppose the hatred of the King of Qi. If the king doesn't prepare his employees, the employees will be in chaos. "With every * * *, Wang Wei.
At first, the king of Qi refused to accept it, but he established Zixu in the State of Qi. When I heard that I entrusted my son to Bao, I was furious and said, "My yuan deceives me!" The rebellion made people kill themselves by giving Zi Xu a sword. Zi Xu smiled and said, "I ordered my father to dominate, but I stood firm." If you wanted to share Wu with me at first, I wouldn't accept it. If I want to slap me,
Hehe, hehe, a person cannot be independent! The messenger said, "I will keep an eye on Wu Dongmen to see more soldiers enter!" " So Wu Ren took over the responsibility. After living for three years, Gou Jian cried and said, "Wu killed Zixu, and there were many guides, but what?" Yes: "impossible". By next spring, the king of Wu will be a vassal in Huangchi, and the elites of Wu will follow the king, while the old and the weak will stay with the prince.
Gou Jian asked Fan Li again, and he said, "Yes." . Two thousand disciples, forty thousand priests, six thousand gentlemen and one thousand emperors defeated Wu. Wu Shi was defeated and killed the king of Wu. Wu was anxious to report to the King of Qi, who would make a vassal in Huangchi, fearing that the world would know about it. This was a secret. The alliance between the Prince of Wu and Huangchi was a gift to invite Cheng Yue. Self-denial failed to destroy Wu, but Wu Ping.
The more you give to Wu, the more you will remember, and Wu won't take it away. With Wu Ciyue today, the more you can go against the sky? And my husband, Wang fleas at Yan, not for martial arts association? Twenty-two years, once deserted, but? Husband and husband took it, but they were to blame. It's not far from Varco, but you forgot to record it. " Gou Jian said, "I want to listen to my son, but I can't bear to part with his messenger."
Fan Li went into the army and said, "The king is already in charge of the deacons. If you go, you will be offended. " Ambassador Wu left in tears. Gou Jian pitied him, which led him to call the king of Wu and say, "I choose Wang Yongdong, there are hundreds of kings in the world." The king of Wu thanked him and said, "I am too old to serve the king!" " Suicide. But he covered his face and said, "I have no face to see my son Xu!" " "The king buried the prince, but killed too slaughter.
This article is taken from Historical Records of Gou Jian's Family, King of Yue, written by Sima Qian in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Extended data writing background:
Historical Records, formerly known as Taishigong or Taishigong Gong Ji and Taishigong Historical Records, is a biographical historical book written by Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty. It is the first biographical general history in the history of China, recording the history of four years and more than 3,000 years from the legendary Huangdi era to Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty.
In the first year of Taichu (BC 104), Sima Qian began to create Taishi Gongshu, later called Shiji. This book was used for 14 years before and after completion.
Sima Bei is a Taishi, sorting out and discussing history. The Annals of Sui Shu's Classics contains: "Tan took Zuo's Chunqiu, Mandarin, Shiben, Warring States Policy and Chunqiu of Chu and Han as the basis, and then became a family." It can be seen that Sima Tan, the father of Sima Qian, intends to continue compiling the historical events after Chunqiu.
Sima Tan used to be an official of Taishi, taking the revision of history as his sacred mission. Unfortunately, his ambition was not rewarded. In the first year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held a meditation ceremony. As an important official of the imperial court, Sima Tan missed the opportunity to participate in contemporary events, resulting in lifelong regret and death of grief. Before he died, he told his son Sima Qian, "Today, the son will be unified by Chitose and sealed Mount Tai, but I can't do it. This is fate! When I die, you are a surname, and I will never forget what I want to write ... "
Sima Qian replied: "Boy is not sensitive, please go and learn about the old news of our ancestors." It can be seen that Sima Qian completed his historical work according to his father's wishes. "Historical Records" takes the book of Guan Chan as one of its eight books, that is, seeing the meaning of his late father. Sima Qian followed the Spring and Autumn Annals and wrote Historical Records in the first year of Emperor founding ceremony.
There are two historical records, one is in Sima Qian's workplace (court); The copy is at home. During the period of Emperor Xuan Di of the Han Dynasty, Yang Yun, the grandson of Sima Qian, began to spread the contents of the book to the society, but the length was not much, and it was soon stopped because of the murder of Yang Yun.
About the author:
Sima Qian (former 145-? ) was born in xia yang (now south of Hancheng, Shaanxi). Historians and essayists in the Western Han Dynasty. Sima Tan's son, Ren Taishiling, was imprisoned for defending Li Ling's defeat and surrender, and later served as the secretariat. He worked hard to complete the historical records he wrote, and was called Shi Qian, Tai Shigong and the father of history by the later Buddha.
Sima Qian created China's first biographical style and general history book with the historical knowledge of "studying the relationship between man and nature, connecting the changes of ancient and modern times", which was recognized as the model of China's history books and the first of the "Twenty-five History", and was praised by Lu Xun as "a historian's swan song, leaving Sao without rhyme".
