Sima Qian, the great official of the Western Han Dynasty, wrote Historical Records, which recorded history in the form of biographies and set a precedent for historians. Sima Qian divided biographies into biographies, biographies, biographies, biographies and biographies. In Historical Records, * * * recorded 30 "aristocratic families", among which "Wu Taibo aristocratic family" ranked first.
"Wu Taibo Family" records the history of the founding fathers of Wu avoiding and establishing Wu and its descendants, spanning 700 years and 25 generations. My uncle went to Wu State because he disagreed with his father's calendar, and later established Wu State. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, He Lv, the twenty-third generation grandson and prince of Wu of Wu Taibo, appointed Wu Zixu, the Chu people, as the prime minister and Sun Wu, the military founder, as the general, to attack Chu. Chu led the Seven-Power Allied Forces to help, and was finally defeated by He Lv.
At that time, He Lv dominated Jianghuai, Xu, Lu and Qi were all defeated by He Lv, and neighboring countries surrendered in succession, so He Lv became one of the "five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period". (Xunzi's Wang Ba edition refers to Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Chu Zhuangwang, He Lv, King of Wu, and Gou Jian, King of Yue. )
He Lv can become the overlord, and there is one person who has contributed, and this person is Wu Zixu. In order to thank Wu Zixu, He Lv was willing to give part of Wu's territory to Wu Zixu, but Wu Zixu refused.
In 496 BC, Betty Wong Yunchang died and his son Gou Jian succeeded to the throne. He Lv, the king of Wu, thought it was a good time to attack Yue, so he took Wu Zixu and other generals to send troops to attack Yue. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, knew that he was no match for He Lv, so he had to close the city gate. Later, Gou Jian sent a group of death squads to find He Lv. At the command, the death squads all raised their knives and committed suicide. Although He Lv is the head of a country, he has never seen such a battle. Wu's army was even more shocked. Gou Jian took advantage of Wu Jun's morale chaos and opened the gate to attack Wu Jun. He Lv, the king of Wu, was shot in the toe in the melee, and the defeat was returned to Wu, and he died.
Before he died, He Lv called his son Fu Cha and warned him not to forget to kill his father. Fu Cha wept bitterly and said that Yue must be destroyed. Then, Fu Cha ascended the throne, known in history as Fu Cha and Prince of Wu. Wu Zixu was appointed as "XiangGuoGong", and he was the second person after Fu Cha.
In order to encourage Fu Cha to take revenge, Wu Zixu arranged guards to be on duty in Fu Cha yard. Before Fu was found out, the guards shouted, "Have you forgotten the revenge of killing your father?" Focha responded every time: "I dare not forget!" In this environment, the anger of revenge permeated the whole state of Wu.
Two years later, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, disobeyed Fan Li and sent troops to attack Wu, which was finally defeated by Wu Zixu. Gou Jian was defeated and retreated to Kuaiji Mountain. Finally, he adopted the literary method of "destroying my nine books" and sent someone to make peace with Fu Cha.
Fu Cha was very moved to see the beautiful women and jewels Yue brought. Another veteran of the State of Wu, Tai Zaihao, had secretly accepted Yue's bribe, and he suggested that Fu Cha let Gou Jian go. Wu Zixu immediately dissuade said:
What Wu Zixu means is that the Vietnamese people are willing to submit to others. If you don't destroy the country today, you will regret it in the future.
Under Wu Zixu's strong dissuasion, Fu Cha hesitated for two seconds, and then agreed to Yue's request. But also asked Gou Jian and his wife to come to Wu in person to be slaves for themselves.
Later, when Gou Jian came, he crouched down to help Fu Cha lead the horse. Even when Fu Cha was ill, Gou Jian tasted Fu Cha's shit. Three years later, Fu Cha was merciful and let Gou Jian go back. When Gou Jian returned, he was always ready to destroy Wu. Hearing this, Wu Zixu suggested that Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, immediately destroy Yue. But at that time, Fu Cha was planning to destroy Qi, and once again he did not listen to Wu Zixu.
Hao Taizai has been at odds with Wu Zixu. When Fu Cha returned home in triumph, Wu Zixu pretended to be ill and didn't come to congratulate him. Tai Zaihao took the opportunity to speak ill of Wu Zixu. Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, also thought that Wu Zixu was headstrong and didn't take himself seriously, so he gave Wu Zixu the "Sword of Carving" and made Wu Zixu commit suicide.
Wu Zixu was heartbroken to learn that the prince of Wu was going to sentence himself to death. He was furious and said, "I was not interested when your father He Lv wanted to share the world with me. I just want to concentrate on helping your father and son. Now you're trying to kill me after hearing the gossip. After I die, please gouge out my eyeball and hang it on the east wall. I want to see Wu destroyed by Yue. "
Wu Zixu did not expect that he was not only a valiant soldier in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but also a "prophet". In 484 BC, Wu Zixu was sentenced to death. Two years later, Fu Cha went north to form an alliance with the vassals. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, took advantage of the emptiness of the State of Wu to send troops to raid it. Fu Cha's son and the prince of Wu were captured by Gou Jian. After the return of Fu Cha League, wuyue went to war many times, but Wu didn't get a bargain. In 473 BC, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, defeated Wu, and Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was trapped in Gusutai and no way back.
Therefore, Fu Cha followed Gou Jian's example and sent messengers to make peace with him, hoping that Gou Jian could be as generous to him as he was 20 years ago. Gou Jian was soft-hearted, but under the persuasion of Fan Li and others, Gou Jian didn't give Fu Cha a chance to "serve his life", and Fu Cha was desperate.
"Mandarin" records:
Before he died, Fu Cha made people worship Wu Zixu and said to Wu Zixu, "If you have knowledge under the spring, how can I meet you?" And then committed suicide.
Before he died, Fuxi told people around him to cover his eyes (face) with a white cloth after his death, because he was ashamed to see Wu Zixu in another world.
History:
For thousands of years, some people say that Fu Cha, the king of Wu, is headstrong, others say that he keeps a tiger as a menace, and others say that he kills loyal ministers unjustly. But judging from the performance of Fu Cha before his death, he was a hero.
