Chapter 13 The Men of Bo Yaqi
Wu Zixu was not Bo Yao's opponent in the debate, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was angry not because he had lost, but because King Wu would make a wrong decision because of this, and this decision was directly related to the fate of Wu.
Fan Li knows a little bit about this history. Fucha's decision directly led to the demise of the Wu Kingdom. Although that was twenty years later, it was at this point in time that the root cause was planted.
The husband listened to Bo Ya's words because Bo Ya's words were reasonable. Fucha is not a fool, and it is impossible for a fool to become a tyrant in the Spring and Autumn Period.
However, Bo Ya's words are not infallible, his words are full of hints and inducements, and they also have the intention of sowing discord, using the generality of things to cover up the particularity of things.
Yue Guo is in an extraordinary place, and this place has formed a special culture of Yue Guo, and this special culture has raised this group of special people. For such a special group of people, it is impossible to recognize them by the generality of things.
It's a pity that Wu Zixu didn't realize this, and Fucha didn't realize this either. Wu Zixu couldn't refute Bo Yao, and the husband completely agreed with Bo Yao.
Fucha knew that Wu Zixu was for the good of Wu Guo, and at this point, Fucha did not have any doubts about Wu Zixu now. Seeing Wu Zixu's angry appearance, the husband actually felt a little sympathy.
"Okay, this matter, the widow has his own opinions, don't fight." The husband graciously stopped the two men from arguing. For fear of embarrassment for Wu Zixu, he smiled and said, "Xiangguo, you go back to the tent to rest, today's battle is over." ”
Wu Zixu was still unwilling, and wanted to say something, but the husband said: "Go and rest, Xiangguo, when the tribute of King Yue comes, your share will naturally be distributed to you." Go, go, go. ”
In this way, Wu Zixu was driven out by King Wu.
Wu Zixu was so angry that his face was as pale as earth, and he sighed: "I really regret that I didn't listen to the words of being separated at the beginning, and I was with such a colleague of Shechen." ”
Bo Yao was originally the grandson of Bozhou Li, a famous minister of Chu State. Father Yin Wan, is the king of Chu Zuo Yin, he is upright, virtuous and capable, deeply loved by the people, so he was hated by the young master Fei Wuji, and was often killed by the greedy Chu Lingyin (Minister of State) Zichang, and connected the whole family.
Bo Ya escaped by luck and picked up a life. He heard that Wu Zixu, who was persecuted by Chu, was reused in Wu, so he immediately rushed to defect.
Wu Zixu was also born in a noble family of the Chu State, and his father Wu Hao was the crown prince of King Chu Ping as a prince (an official who tutored the prince). Later, Fei Wuji framed him and Prince Jian for plotting rebellion, and King Chuping was angry and imprisoned Wu Hao, and sent people to hunt down and kill Prince Jian. Upon hearing the news, Prince Jian fled to the Song Kingdom. King Chuping listened to Fei Wuji's slander and ordered Wu Hao to recall his two sons, Wu Shang and Wu Yuan (Zixu), so that they could be caught all in one go. Wu Shangzhong was filial and surrendered at the call. Zixu fled the state of Chu in an attempt to take revenge.
After many twists and turns, Wu Zixu finally got out of Zhaoguan and fled to Wu, where he was trusted by Gongziguang of Wu, who recommended warriors to Gongziguang and assassinated Wu Wangyi, and Gongziguang then established himself as the king of Wu, that is, Helu.
Although Wu Zixu and Bo Yao had no personal relationship, because of their similar encounters and sympathy for the same disease, they recommended him to Wu Wang Lu. Wu Wang Lu happily received this young man who was full of deep hatred.
At the grand palace banquet, King Wu thoughtfully asked Bo Yao: "The country of the widow is far away, and the east coast is on the seaside. I heard that your father was slandered by Fei Wuji and killed by Chu Xiang in a rage. Now that you don't think that the country of Wu is far away, and you come here, what will you teach the widow? ”
Bo Yao's tears welled up at once: "I'm just a Chu Yijie prisoner." The ancestors were innocent and were violently punished. I heard that the king took in the poor and desperate Wu Zixu, so he traveled thousands of miles and returned to the king. Your Majesty, if you have anything to do with me, I will never give up! King Wu sighed when he heard this.
Dr. Wu, who was present at the banquet at that time, was left, but he was very uneasy about Bo Yao, and asked Wu Zixu softly: "Do you think Bo Yao can be trusted?" ”
Wu Zixu replied calmly: "I have the same grudge as Bo Ya. Haven't you heard the song "Song on the River" sing, "Sympathy for the sick, help each other from sorrow"? It's like a frightened bird, chasing and gathering together, what's so strange? …… Hu Ma looks at the north wind and stands, Yue Yan to the south and the sun is bustling, who can not love its nearness, and not be sad about its thoughts? ”
He shook his head disapprovingly, and reminded Wu Zixu: "You only see the surface, but you don't see the inside." I see Bo Yao as a human being, eagle and tiger, greedy by nature, dedicated to merit and good at killing. If you reuse him, I'm afraid you'll be affected in the future. ”
Wu Zixu disagreed. smiled: "The doctor is too worried." ”
In the end, under Wu Zixu's strong recommendation, He Lu took in Bo Ya, appointed Bo Ya as a doctor, and let him plot state affairs with Wu Zixu.
In this controversy that decided the fate of the state of Wu, Bo Yao defeated Wu Zixu with his superb debating skills. The two have since parted ways.
And the words of being departed were fulfilled. At that time, Bo Yao, who was at the end of his life, was supported by Wu Zixu, climbed to a high position, confused King Wu, was greedy and abused power, and like Fei Wuji slandered his father, Wu Zixu, who was struggling to support the overall situation of Wu State, was mutilated to death!
This is a later story, and I have expressed it in advance.
Wu Zixu left the big tent of the Chinese army, deeply worried about national affairs, but helpless. He was an old minister of the previous king, but he could not share the worries of the king, and saw the king go down a wrong path, but he had no ability to persuade him to come back. I am deeply ashamed of the previous king.
"Where is Xiangguo going?"
As soon as he raised his head, the doctor Wang Sunxiong greeted him. Wu Zixu returned the salute and said indignantly: "Hey, doctor, I can't mention it." ”
Wang Sunxiong said: "What is Xiangguo worried about? ”
Wu Zixu told me about the incident in the Chinese military tent just now. Wang Sunxiong couldn't hear the stakes here. Fucha is the king, Wu Zixu and Bo Yao are his superiors, he can't comment on who is right and wrong, so he said: "Xiangguo don't have to worry, what the king decides, we can do it as courtiers." ”
Wu Zixu sighed and said: "The doctor doesn't know, that King Goujian of Yue is not an ordinary person, this time he will not get rid of it, let him live together for ten years, and then teach a lesson for ten years, but in twenty years, the Wu Kingdom will be destroyed." After saying that, he left angrily and returned to the right camp.
Wang Sunxiong looked at Wu Zixu's back and said to himself: "Xiangguo is alarmist, isn't it?" ”
Wu Zixu returned to his military tent, where can he rest in peace. One would pace in the tent, the other would sit down, the other would stand up, sigh for a long time, and fidget.
The military academy under the tent found that Xiangguo's expression was wrong, so he didn't dare to come forward to ask, and he didn't dare to go far, but quietly hid to the side.
Wu Zixu walked around for a while, pulled out his sword, and a white crane flashed its wings, and danced its sword, only to see the cold air and the sword light shining. After practicing swordsmanship all the way, his body was sweating slightly, and his mood was a little better.
He suddenly shivered, thinking that at this time Fan Li might be negotiating with Bo Yao about surrendering. How can you walk away? Since the surrender cannot be prevented, then the most severe restrictions should be imposed on Gou Jian under the most severe conditions. Whether this will stop him from making trouble in the future, only God knows.
Wu Zixu put on his sword, got out of the military tent, and strode towards the middle military tent.
