Meet Wu Qi
On July 16, 2021, Wang Moulong of Nanchang killed his wife and threw away his body, and the first-instance trial pronounced a verdict, and the defendant was executed.
Seeing this news, I can't help but think of Wu Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who also did the same thing more than 2,400 years ago - killing his wife.
The reason why Wu Qi killed his wife we can't understand is that he actually asked for an official.
In 412 BC, during the Warring States Period, the masses competed for hegemony, and the State of Lu was defeated and retreated by the State of Qi, and the State of Lu would disappear.
Lu Mugong was determined to fight back and appointed Wu Qi to fight, but some people immediately raised their hands to oppose: Don't forget, Wu Qi's wife is a Qi person, don't fight when the time comes, take our people directly to the Qi country.
Wu Qi once again remembered a sentence he said to his mother when he came out of Weiguo's hometown: If you are not a secretary of state, you will never return to Wei.
For a person who wants to create opportunities without opportunities, he will never miss any opportunity, not to mention that the opportunity is in front of him, so Wu Qi does not stop doing two, and kills his wife with a knife in his hand.
This is a dangerous move, and it is the infamy of Wu Qi's legacy for future generations.
After killing the wife of the State of Qi, Wu Qi cleared the last suspect, successfully ascended to the throne, and also showed his military talents for the first time, defeating the Qi army.
I want to succeed!
Winning the battle is a gratifying and congratulatory event for the Lu state. Wu Qi, should be reused, but what people did not expect was that some people were not accustomed to it, and said to King Lu: I think that back then, when his old wife died, this boy did not go home, was expelled from the school by Principal Zeng (Zeng Shan, a disciple of Confucius, with filial piety), and now in order to become an official, he actually killed his wife, such a cruel and shameless person without a bottom line, it is difficult to imagine that his next target will not be the throne?
When Wu Qi heard this news, he knew that he had no foothold in the Country of Lu.
There is no grandfather here, there is a place to stay, this battle, has made Wu Qi save a lot of fans.
I am Wu Qi!
The State of Wei was recruiting, and Weiss was a wise monarch.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide. Moreover, the State of Lu and the State of Wei were hundreds of miles apart, and Wu Qi's notoriety of killing his wife and asking for generals had long been heard.
Wei Si asked his subordinate Li Ke for his opinion, and Li Ke said: Wu Qi is greedy and rich, but if he is a good hand in leading the army to fight, the famous general of the State of Qi, Tian Hoang Tho, is not as good as him.
Weiss thought about it and said: We want people who can win the battle.
Wu Qi was reused, ushering in the highlight of his life, he was indeed a person who could win the battle, the history books recorded: seventy-six wars with the princes, sixty-four victories, Yu Junjie. Cutting the soil on all sides and expanding the land for thousands of miles, all of them have also made contributions.
In the past few decades, Wu Qi's army has defeated the Qin, Qi, and Chu states, and the territory of the State of Wei has expanded several times, leaping to become the hegemon of the Central Plains.
It is worth mentioning that in 389 BC, in the Battle of Yin and Jin, with few victories and many victories, Wu Qi personally led 50,000 people, 500 chariots, 3,000 cavalry defeated 500,000 Qin troops, and since then, the world has been shocked and the gods have been enshrined in the First World War.
Why can Wu Qi win many battles?
In addition to his outstanding military talents, the love of soldiers such as sons is also on the one hand, Wu got up as a great general, but he ate and slept with the soldiers, marched on foot, and never rode a horse.
Once, a soldier suffered a thick sore, and Wu Qi personally used his mouth to heal his wounds. The soldier's mother cried when she heard this, and people said: Your son is a nobody, and the great general sucks pus for him, and you should feel honored! But his mother said: In that year, the child's father was also sucked, and his father fought bravely to kill the enemy and die on the battlefield. And now that the child has caught up again, I think he will be like his father...
People are afraid of fame, pigs are afraid of strong, Wu Qi, who has become the god of war, has countless circles of fans, and at the same time, he has also been jealous of villains.
Wei Guoxiang's uncle, his wife is a princess, the power is tilted to the opposition, the more Wu Qi fights, the more ugly his face is, he thinks that if this continues, one day, Wu Qi will take his place.
To be a star, you need to work hard to do a lot of big things; but to destroy a person, one small thing is enough.
Soon, the "think tank" behind the prime minister's uncle came up with an idea of "inviting the king into the urn".
"Wu Qi's biggest drawback is that he just uses his stomach and speaks quickly. We first reported to the king that Wu Qi was a great hero, but the State of Wei was only a small country, and I was afraid that I could not keep it, so it was better to give him a princess and make him the horse master of the State of Wei. If he was not in the State of Wei, he would definitely reject this family affair. Then, we invited Wu Qi to the Xiang Mansion and let the princess and the prime minister perform a good play, and the princess did everything to abuse and humiliate the prime minister, and the prime minister did everything to pander. Wu Qi found that the princess was so fierce, she must not dare to agree to the marriage. ”
Uncle Gong was overjoyed and acted according to the plan, Wu Qi saw that the princess did not treat people as people at all, and he was not blessed to be blessed with golden branches and jade leaves, and he was terrified and refused the marriage request of the King of Wei.
King Wei couldn't believe his ears, his face was full of question marks, and Wu Qi realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap.
The incident was irreparable, at this time, the King of Wei was not Wei Si who had recruited him into the palace, but his son Wei Qi, Wei Zhen's vision and temperament were different from his father, and it was also very likely that he would kill Wu Qi in the face.
No way, 54-year-old Wu Qi chose to be laid off and look for a new job.
Fortunately, Wu Qi's reputation as the "God of War" is outside, the uncle does not like it, Wei Zhen does not like it, and there are many fans outside the circle, and Chu Mourning Wang Qi is one of them.
The throne given to Wu by the King of Chu was the prime minister, under one person and above ten thousand people.
For a while, Wu Qi felt that his life had reached its peak again, all the humiliation and unhappiness, let him go with the wind, he was determined to do another big job, he really did a big job.
Wu Qi, in light of the situation in the Chu state, established a series of new policies, which were not limited to the following five points:
Strict laws, prohibitions, and publicity.
Nobles under three generations of age abolished their privileges and stopped paying government subsidies. Disobedient nobles were given edge reins.
The elite army should reduce the government, dismiss officials who do not act, and vigorously develop the military.
We should severely punish corruption and reward talents who are upright and honest, especially those who serve the country.
Move the capital, build city walls, and rectify the people's customs.
Don't say that the five articles, any of them, have caused threats and wavering to the interests of the aristocratic class of the Chu state, especially the second one, which also laid the foundation for Wu Qi's tragic death.
In just a few years, the State of Chu was suddenly strong, the south was merged with Baiyue, the north defeated the combined forces of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei, attacked the State of Qin several times, and recovered a large area of lost land, and the State of Chu became the new hegemon of the Central Plains from a small country, and the Intestines of the State of Wei were repentant.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
In 381 BC, King Chu Mourning suddenly ascended to heaven, and the umbrella that protected Wu Qi fell, and those imperial and new relatives who had lost interests due to the New Deal did not wait for King Chu to enter the land.
Wu Qi knew that he would not be able to escape death, so he ran to the corpse of the King of Chu and shouted loudly: Heaven mourns me! Heaven forbid me!
The arrows rained down, not only on Wu Qi's body, but also on the body of King Chu Mourning.
Death of Wu Qi
The reigning King Su of Chu was furious and ordered the rebels to attack the three tribes, and as many as 70 families and more than 20,000 people were slaughtered, and Wu Qi could be regarded as avenging himself.
The late Ming scholar Huang Daozhou has a passage summarizing Wu Qi's life.
Wu Zi endured, laughing angrily. The mother died and did not return, and killed the wife to ask for the general. Zeng Zi Bozhi, Lu Jun doubtful. However, with the use of soldiers, Rang Tho will not let you. Bitterness and the sameness, soldiers and soldiers are happy to fight. Guarding the WeiXi River, Qin Feared eastward. In virtue, the sages measure. The Wei people were jealous and went to Chu Xiang. The north and the south are flat, and the merit is in people. He committed a crime against Emperor Guizong and eventually died.
Fifteen hundred years later, during the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Qi was included in the list of seventy-two generals and set up a temple to worship.
Obviously, Wu Qi was a military man, but his mother died and did not return, killed his wife and asked for generals, left a notoriety, rose and fell three times, served the Three Kingdoms, can be described as disloyalty, filial piety, unkindness and injustice, and was eventually divided by five horses, which made people sigh.
Looking at Wu Qi's life, his IQ exploded, his emotional intelligence almost returned to zero, whether he was a child or later in a position of power, he has always been a person with a straight heart, no city government, and only his own goals in his heart. He doesn't think about the feelings of others in the slightest.
The history books record that Wu Qi was born in a wealthy family, seeking official positions everywhere without results, the family's money was almost spent, everyone said that he was a loser, this is a fact, but Wu Qi was angry, the knife killed more than 30 mouths, you know, these people are all neighbors who look down and don't look up, how can they be embarrassed!
In this way, after his mother died and did not return, it was natural to kill his wife and ask for a general.
The other two small things recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian also show that Wu Qi's emotional intelligence is low.
The State of Wei appointed Tian Wen as prime minister, but Wu Qi was dissatisfied, and asked Tian Wen three times: Lead the troops to fight, the two of us, who is stronger?
Tian Wen said: The general is very powerful.
Wu Qi asked: Rich countries and strong soldiers, who is strong?
Wu Qi asked: Who is stronger in long-range attack and close combat?
Wu Qi said: I am powerful, why is your official bigger than my official?
Tian Wen thought about it and said: The king is still young, and the palace is fighting with each other, either you die or I die, who do you think should be able to settle down?
Wu Qi was silent for a long time and said: "You still want to be the prime minister!"
Another time, Wu Qi followed the young King of Wei to hit the boat on the Yangtze River, and the river flowed straight down, like ten thousand horses galloping, to the cliffs and the shore, the apes were everywhere, and the spirit was also radiant, so he said to Wu Qi: How beautiful! Great place! Impenetrable, this is the treasure land of the Wei Kingdom!
Wu Qi said: This is a difference. The location is not as good as the people, the leader must lead by example, how about the land of Xia Jie Shang Tang? We must remember the lessons of history and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Wei Qi's feelings were extremely excited. It is really advisable not to choose the right time, and the horse is patted on the horse's hoof.
Moreover, the farce starring the uncle and the father, the uncle has an opinion on him is definitely not a day or two, with his feet to know that there is a problem, and Wu Qi just believed, he is not out of the game who is out?
No matter how high the official position and no matter how good the work is, it is only a part of life;
Life in the world, is not only to win the battle to complete the goal of becoming a general, the goal of life is important, but if for the sake of the goal, finally become a lonely person, and even more tragically killed, it is better to retreat and seek the second, like Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom, Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, the achievement of retirement, wife and concubine, swimming in the mountains and rivers, why not be free!
