readx;?“ Soldier ......"
When he saw the people in front of the temple, Fucha's face showed great displeasure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From the beginning of his succession to the throne, Wu Zixu, the old minister of Tuogu in the era of the first king, has been chattering in his ear. Before Po Yue took revenge, Fu Cha still stubbornly let it go, because not only Wu Zixu is extremely capable and can help him handle the national politics properly, but the old ministers of the former kings in the country, such as being separated and Gongsun Sheng, are all "Wu Zixu's party", and he still has to rely on these people to control the military and political affairs of Wu State.
But after the husband was defeated and defeated, he felt that his wings had hardened, and these old ministers who had worked hard to help him take power suddenly became an obstacle to stumbling.
As the new king, Fucha really wants to get out of the shadow of his father Wu Wang Lu, establish his own team, and create a Wu country that only belongs to him, instead of kneading according to the plans of the old ministers. Taking advantage of the power of victory, the old ministers were deprived of their real power and told the old man one after another, while the upstarts such as Bo Ya who were submissive to the orders of the husband ascended to a high position, and a new court pattern was taking shape.
In the past few years, Wu Zixu's "henchmen" have stepped down, and even he himself has lost his position as a minister above 10,000 people under one person and was driven to build a canal.
Since then, the state of Wu has entered the era of arbitrariness and arbitrariness.
However, when smart people shut up one after another, the stubborn Wu Zixu appeared again and again, breaking the ambition of the husband. It's like a half-grown child who is proudly boasting about himself to the people around him, when an uncle suddenly pops out, and a sentence pierces the fragility behind his infallibility, and wants to pull his ears to let him go home, which is really embarrassing.
So Wu Zixu has become the most disgusted and hated person in the husband, and at this moment, seeing that the soldiers came to disturb his grand banquet again, and shouted something "Wu Guo is going to die", the boss was suddenly unhappy, and asked with a straight face: "What does the doctor mean by this?" Do you still want to use the old saying that the Yue is the heart of the Wu State, and the Yue must be destroyed first and then the Northern Expedition to say that the widow is a widow? You must know that in this battle, Yue Jun took the initiative to request to send 3,000 Yue people to the north with me to help. Gou Jian's loyalty can be seen, if Wu Zi still wants to slander him, then there is no need to say it again. “
Wu Zixu sighed and said, "The minister is here to talk about the mandate of heaven. “
Fucha frowned: "Destiny? “
Wu Zixu said: "The minister has learned "Yi" with Gongsun Sheng, knowing the art of Jinkui, in March and April this year, the season is Xinhai Pingdan, if the king is handsome, although the former is a small victory, the latter will be defeated. Heaven and earth are in trouble, and the disaster of Wu will not be long in coming......"
When he couldn't explain clearly, Wu Zixu could only come up with the old trick of lobbying Wu Wang Lu back then, and began to say that he was destined for heaven, hoping to make his husband wake up.
However, this remark made the husband furious, and Bo Yao looked at King Wu's gloomy face as if he was about to drip water, and immediately understood his intentions, so he jumped out and reprimanded:
"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Because the virtue of the first king, the sincerity of the king, reached God. So the sign given by the Emperor of Heaven is that the boat division of Wu has defeated the Zhao army in Langya, and will soon land to recapture Ju, which means that the Mandate of Heaven is in Ji, and the surname will be victorious. However, the doctor is old and uneasy, since the west broke the Chu State, there is no size in the country, but he can't see the good of the Wu State, a few years ago, he sent dead soldiers to assassinate Yue Jun, and now he is openly confusing the public with evil words, wanting to prevent the king from sending troops, what is your intention? ”
Bo Yao punished his heart every word, Wu Zixu has always regarded himself as a loyal minister, how could he have been wronged like this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, pulled out half of his sword, and pointed directly at Bo Yao and said: "Rats, if it weren't for the protection of the old man, you wouldn't even be able to enter the Wu Kingdom, but now you are reversing black and white, I will kill you first to be in the court!" ”
After speaking, Wu Zixu was about to throw a sword to hit Bo Yao, where was the fat Bo Ya his opponent, he hurriedly hid behind the pillar and shouted: "The king save me, the king save me!" ”
"Such a rude person in the court, is the widow the king of Wu, or are you the king of Wu?" Fucha once relied heavily on Wu Zixu and let him have the privilege of carrying a sword to the temple, but now he regretted it greatly, and immediately went down to the palace to stop it, and asked the guards to accept Wu Zixu's sword, so that he could not be presumptuous.
"The King." Wu Zixu said bitterly: "The first king can listen to the advice, so he can defeat the Chu State and become famous in Jianghuai." Now the king is stubborn and self-serving, and the old minister's heartfelt words, the king has repeatedly regarded it as nothing, but he listens to the villain's flattery...... "His eyes swept to Bo Yao."
"Believe in the words of the bewitching and seducing the Lord." He also glared angrily at Zheng Dan, who was hiding behind his husband.
"Now the king is bent on going his own way and wants to go on the Northern Expedition, thinking that what he has achieved is the overlord's thing? Wrong, big mistake, the Central Plains is a road of no return, if the king listens to the words of the old minister, reconciles with the Zhao family, and first guards the Huai land in the south of the Yangtze River, the Wu State can continue, otherwise, the Wu State may be like the Jin State Tai Shimo said, it will perish in ten years! “
The words were loud, but where could the husband listen to Wu Zixu's words at this time? He saw that Bo Yao and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, and his favorite concubine Zheng Dan was also disgraced, hiding in his arms tremblingly, and a sense of rebellion unique to adolescent adolescence rose from his heart.
He waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "Needless to say, the widow can see clearly today, the doctor stopped the widow from the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, but he just wants to firmly press the widow in the palace, and he can't stand up in front of the people of the world.
As soon as these words came out, Wu Zixu was stunned, and said a little incredulously: "What did you say, king?" ”
The husband has already ignored it: "The widow has long endured you for a long time, because you also made some merits when you were the king, so I couldn't bear to correct you, now you are old and deaf, it is better to leave office and withdraw from the court, return to the fiefdom and live in seclusion, don't stop the hegemony of the widow, and leave a decent ...... for the monarch and the ministers."
The bird is hidden in the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking?
Although Wu Zixu didn't know this sentence, the feeling in his heart was almost like this. Thirty years of dedication to the state of Wu came to mind, especially after the death of King Wu Lu, almost nothing he did was for himself, but for the country!
Now, he has been betrayed by the monarch in the worst of his ways.
Wu Zixu trembled with anger, stretched out his finger and pointed at his husband, as if he wanted to scold like whipping the corpse of King Chuping back then, and finally hung down weakly, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Suffering from this silence, the loyal ministers cover their mouths, and the slanderers are on the side; political corruption is bad, and flattery is infinite; Heresy and false words, taking the song as the straight, giving up the slander and attacking the loyalty, will destroy the Wu State: the temple is destroyed, the community is not eaten, the city is ruins, and the temple is full of thorns and ......"
His heart was like ashes, and he bowed down and said with tears in his eyes: "The king is reluctant, please resign!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for his husband's permission, turned around and left, the moonlight of Gusu was like a mirror, both loyal and traitorous were shining brightly inside, and on the brightly lit platform of Gusu, Wu Zixu's shadow made the old elder long, and he looked extremely lonely.
At this moment, he became the only lonely loyal minister of Wu State......
……
"The temple is ruined, the community is not eaten, the city is mound, and the temple is full of thorns...... A bunch of nonsense, a bunch of nonsense, the soldiers are really getting more and more presumptuous! "A good feast, an inspiring oath to go to war was so disrupted, the husband felt as disgusted as eating a fly, and the more he sat in the hall with cups and plates, the more angry he became.
"The Great King......" Wu Zixu's political opponent Dazai Boyao took the opportunity to step forward and said with added vinegar: "Zixu is tough and vicious, ruthless, suspicious and vicious, and he can abandon his father and brother when he is young. I know this person best, but his grudge can burn the water of Yunmengze and burn the gold and stone of Zhanghuatai, if you don't be vigilant, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe. ”
Fu Cha was awe-inspiring: "What do you mean by this?" “
At the beginning of the year, the king mourned for the Jin Kingdom and wanted to send troops to attack the Central Plains, but Zixu thought it was impossible and stopped him for various reasons. Later, the king sent troops north from the sea and achieved a great victory in Langya, but the news came back, but Zixu was ashamed that his plan was not adopted, and in his heart, he was afraid that he hoped to use the defeat of Wu to prove that his plan was better than that of the king. That's why I came to Gusu Zhitai today, forcibly admonished and tried in vain to slander the king's hegemony. Now the king is wise, seeing through his tricks, and expelling him from the court, which is really happy. However, Wu Yuan has been in Wu for many years, and there are many henchmen, and the relationship with doctors and generals is intertwined. “
After all, Wu Zixu is his "second father", and he is also a supporter, and his husband is a little hesitant: "Plotting against him? Although the soldiers are stubborn, they are not loyal, and they should not stop there. ”
Bo Yao said: "There is one thing, the minister does not know whether to talk about it or not. “
Fucha waved his hand: "Say!" “
Bo Yao leaned into his ear and whispered: "Don't hide it from the king, the military members think that he is the adviser of the previous king, and he is an indispensable figure for the rise of the Wu Kingdom, and now he is not credited, and he is often depressed and unhappy, and he has resentment, so the minister has always been worried about the military members, so he sent someone to secretly investigate, and learned that he sent his son back to the fiefdom at the beginning of the year......"
The husband was puzzled: "What's wrong with letting Wu Feng return to the fiefdom to keep his wealth?" “
Bo Yao sneered: "It's called Hui Fiefdom, but in fact, I went to the north and went to Zhao State!" “
"What!" Zhao Guo, Zhao Wuxian, has now become the reverse scale of the husband, he suddenly took the case and asked Bo Yao to make it clear.
"What the minister said is true, the king can summon the doctor to ask the same question, Wu Zixu because of his resentment against the king, he entrusted his son to Sun Wu, who fled to Zhao State, and at the same time contacted Zhao Hou for him, and he should cooperate with the outside."
He said coldly: "As a courtier, he is not happy at home, so he relies on other princes outside, so it seems that the soldiers prevent the king from going north, I am afraid that it is the meaning of Zhao Hou, with such a treacherous and loyal doctor, when will the king's hegemony be realized?" I also hope that the king will plan it as soon as possible, and don't let the soldiers betray the intelligence of Wu State in exchange for his son's future......"
The husband was still a little unconvinced, but summoned the doctor in charge of the garrison of Wucheng to ask Fengtong, only to know that he had indeed sent someone to follow Wu Feng, and after he left the city in January, he did not return to Shenyi, but went north to Chen Cai incognito, and went to Zhao State......
"The old thief deceived me! The old thief deceived me! "Fucha is really crazy now, he pulled out the carved sword he carried around his waist and slashed indiscriminately in the hall, until he stabbed a palace person to death, and he didn't come to his senses until he was drenched in blood.
He stared at his red eyes, exhaled and said to Bo Yao: "Even if you don't say this, Gu will already suspect the soldiers......
A king does not tolerate a rebel.
The more King Wu thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally directly asked Feng Tong to come up and hand him the sword that was still stained with blood.
Feng Tongzhan took it tremblingly, but heard Wu Wangfu say: "You take someone to Meiliwu's house, give this sword to the soldiers, and pass on the will of Gu Yi......"
The white-haired old man's pretended to be loyal resurfaced, after the death of King Wu Lu, he seemed to be another "father" of Fucha, but whoever is a son, there is always a trace of the mentality of killing his father and standing on his own, Fucha stared at the carved sword that exuded a vicious reflection, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Just say, you will die with this!" “
……
In the early morning of the next day, the weather was surprisingly strange, there was no warmth of the spring season at all, the sky was gray, warm and cold at first, the south wind and the north wind met in Gusu, and then turned into a long and continuous plum rain.
Feng Tong stood under the eaves of the Wu Mansion, looking at Wu Zixu in the pavilion without blinking.
As Bo Yao's accomplice, Feng Tong participated in all the framing and scourge of Wu Zixu, at this moment, this political enemy who had shrouded their heads for twenty years was finally abandoned by the king and was about to embark on the end of his life.
After all, except for the husband who was dazzled by ambition, everyone in Wu could see that Wu Zixu was loyal to King Wu, so as long as Wu Zixu didn't resist, they had to give this old minister a little dignity.
When he received the will that "you will die with this", Wu Zixu was heartbroken, he looked up at the rainy sky and sighed and said: "Alas! Husband, husband, I once set up a plot for the state of Wu to break Chu, serve Jinyue in the south, and make the princes of Weijia, so that the first king dominates Jianghuai. And when you were not yet determined to be the crown prince, the princes competed, and it was I who risked my life in front of the previous kings to fight for you, so that you were made the heir of the king. When you succeeded to the throne, you also promised that if you could avenge your father, you would divide the country with me, but I laughed at this, and did not expect anything in return, only hoping that you could inherit the business of the previous king and hold the kingdom of Wu. But now, you actually listen to the bad words of flattering villains and kill your elders, how ...... What a ......."
Then he smiled bitterly at the people who came to him: "Sure enough, as you expected, the king still can't tolerate me, and instead of listening to me, he gave me a sword." “
He was also secretly persuaded by Li: "I heard that there is a song in the country of Chu, the water of the waves is clear, and you can wet it; The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet. Why did Zixu commit suicide, it was better to lead the doormen, kill Wucheng, flee, and save his life. ”
"I am Wu Chen, born as a Wu ghost, even if I am in exile, where can I go?"
was persuaded by Li and said: "Feng has arrived in Zhao State, why don't Zixu also go to Zhao Hou?" “
"There is a sealed life, and a member has a member's life." The white-haired old man stubbornly raised his belonging: "My life, it's it." “
After rejecting the suggestion to be divorced, Wu Zixu sat in the pavilion and stared at the sword in his hand, praising its sharp blade and the intricately crafted one-horned deer hilt.
"I thought I would die like my father and brother, killed and torn apart, but I never dreamed that it would be such a small sword that took my life. Back then, Xia Ji killed Guan Longfeng, Shang Xun killed the prince Bigan, and now the king kills the old minister, I am afraid that he will also be compared to the likes of Ji Xuan. It's nothing if the soldiers die today, but it's a pity that the Wu Guogong will be in ruins soon, and the platform of Gusu is overgrown with vines and grass......"
As soon as these words came out, the people who knelt on the ground in front of him all cried silently, and they were separated and hid their faces to wipe their tears, because Wu Zixu's situation was not worth it.
Why is Wu Zixu not angry? Thirty years after the state of Wu, he no longer regarded himself as a Chu person, but regarded this emerging state as his hometown. For the husband, he also worked hard to support him to ascend the throne and help him break through the Yue to take revenge, but unexpectedly he was betrayed by the most shameful betrayal.
The villain is in the hall, his loyalty is contrary to his ears, the whole world is turbid, I am alone, everyone is drunk and I am sober.
Although he feels sorry for the imminent decline of Wu Guo, Wu Zixu's affection for her husband has been completely exhausted. He doesn't hate Wu Guo, but he hates his husband, hates those villains, he has never been a tolerant person, and it has always been his life criterion to report grievances and complain with grievances.
If it had been changed ten or twenty years ago, maybe it would have been another astonishing feat of drawing a bow and arrow, passing through the Zhaoguan at night, and finally successfully taking revenge on the husband, the words of the world, and the pen of history? Wu Zixu doesn't care, all he cares about is whether the breath in his chest is comfortable, and what he cares about is whether the eldest husband can make the world fearful.
It's a pity that he is sixty years old, exhausted by the rise and fall of the Wu Kingdom, and no longer has the strength to do those things.
Wu Zixu finished mourning himself, laughed for a while, and then said to the departed and the housekeepers: "The dead are long, and the living should be like this, after I die, you must plant a catalpa tree on my grave, so that it can grow up and make a coffin." Then I gouged out my eyeballs and hung them on the north gate and south gate towers of the capital of Wu Kingdom. ”
He got up and walked into the rain, his back to the sky, letting the rain mingle with his tears of grief and indignation.
"Even if my eyes are rotten and withered by then, I must tell my son Wu Feng that on the day of the fall of the Wu Kingdom, don't forget to hold a family sacrifice, so that Nai Weng will know whether the Wu Kingdom will die from the army of the Marquis of Zhao or from the sneak attack of Yue Kou!"
After speaking, he laughed and killed himself!
It is sharp, and the skin is broken to see blood......
The corpse fell to the ground, and the puddle of blood stained red.
"Congratulations to the master of the house!" The departed and the housekeepers cried and threw themselves over, surrounded his body, and bowed down in the rain to say goodbye.
"Congratulations to Wuzi!" Even Feng Li's subordinates couldn't help crying and bowed to Wu Zixu's body.
On the platform of Gusu, the husband who was doing the cloud and rain suddenly pushed Zheng Dan away, walked outside the palace without a word, trembling under the heavy rain, his fists were clenched tightly, and his face was like rain flowing down, his face was tangled, as if he was remorseful and afraid.
And Dazai Boyao and his accomplices drank and talked happily, celebrating that this political struggle for more than ten years had finally been decided......
Only heaven and earth were silent, and the heavy rain kept falling, as if they were crying for Wu Zixu's death......
……
In April and May, the rain spread from south to north under the monsoon wind, and drifted all the way to the beam of Zhao's new city in the east. As soon as Zhao Hou Wuxian arrived here, he learned that Wu Wangfu had killed Wu Zixu, and then he commanded the army north to the Song Dynasty......
