Legend of the Warring States: Wu Qigong fled to the Chu State, and there was still a plan to kill people before his death

In the fifteenth year of King An of Zhou (337 BC), Wei Wenhou became seriously ill and recalled Shizi from Zhongshan. Zhao Guo heard that Wei Shizi had left Zhongshan, so he led his troops to sneak attack and take it. Since then, Wei and Zhao have had a gap.
When Shizi returned, Marquis Wen of Wei was already dead, so Shizi struck the lord and lost his heir, for the Marquis of Wei. Bai Tian Wen is Xiang Guo. Wu Qi entered the dynasty from the West River, thought of himself as a great achievement, looked forward to worshiping Xiang, and when he heard that he had worshiped Tian Wen as a face, he was displeased. When the dynasty retreated, he met Tian Wenyu at the gate, and he greeted him: "Do you know the merits of Wu Qi?" Please comment with Ru today. ”
Tian Wen bowed his hand, "I would like to hear it." ”
Wu Qi said: "How does Ru compare ru with Wu Qi when the multitude of the three armies makes the soldiers and soldiers forget to die when they hear the drums and forget their deaths?" ”
Tian Wen said, "Not as well." ”
Wu Qi said: "Governing hundreds of officials, being close to the people, and enriching the treasury of the government, how does Ru compare with Wu Qi?" ”
Tian Wenyue: "Not as good as." ”
Wu Qi also said: "Guarding the West River while the Qin soldiers did not dare to invade the east, Han and Zhao Binfu, how did Ru compare with Wu Qi?" ”
Tian Wen said, "Not as well." ”
Wu Qi said, "Of these three, Ru is all below me, but what is the reason for this?" ”
Tian Wen said, "I am indeed ashamed to steal the throne." However, today's new monarchy is unified, the Lord is less suspicious of the country, the people are not close, the ministers are not attached, and the Ute is honored with the ancestors, and the lack of heart, or the day of non-merit. ”
Wu Qi bowed his head in thought and said for a long time, "Ru Yan is also the same." But this is the place where I am. ”
There were internal attendants who heard the words of the two men on merit and reported to Wei Wuhou. Marquis Wu of Wei suspected that Wu Qi had a grudge, so he left Wu Qi and did not send him back to Hexi, hoping to choose another person as the Taishou of Xihe. Wu Qi, fearful of being killed by Marquis Wu of Wei, fled the Chu state.
King Xiong of Chu was suspicious, and he had heard of Wu Qi's talent, and when he saw it, he gave it to him with a seal. Wu Qi was grateful and indignant, and appointed himself as a rich country and a strong soldier. He asked the king of Chu to mourn: "The chu kingdom is thousands of miles away, with more than a million armor, and Gu Yixiong suppresses the princes and is the lord of the world; therefore, those who cannot be added to the nations are also the way to lose their troops." The way to raise soldiers is to first enrich their wealth and then use their strength. Today's redundant officials are full of courtrooms; estranged families, mi fei gong. And isn't it difficult for a warrior to eat only the food of the Ascension Dou and want to make him sacrifice his body and martyr the country? The great king sincerely obeyed the plans of his subjects, eliminated redundant officials, excluded the Shu clan, and did his best to save the people who dared to fight. If the country's prestige is not strong, then please bow down to the curse! "The King of Chu mourned from his plan.
Most of the courtiers said that Wu Qi's words were not available, and the King of Chu mourned not listened. Therefore, Wu Qi was ordered to elaborate on the official system, and hundreds of redundant officials were cut off, and the children of the ministers were not allowed to be lucky; those above the fifth level of the Gong clan were made to support themselves, compared with the commoners; the fifth and below, according to their distance, were cut down in turn, and the provinces and countries were given tens of thousands.
Select the elite people in the country, train day and night, read their talents, and thicken them to several times. The soldiers and soldiers did not make meritorious achievements, and Chu Sui was strong in his troops and looked at the world with great strength. The Three Jins, Qi, and Qin Xian feared it, and finally mourned the king's life, and did not dare to add troops.
When The Chu mourning of Wang Xue was not in time for the funeral, the sons of Chu Guiqi's ministers lost their lives and wanted to kill Wu Qi. Wu Qi rushed into the palace, and the crowd chased after him with bows and arrows. Wu Qi knew that he was invincible, and he hugged the corpse of the mourning king and fell to the ground. The crowd gathered arrows to shoot Wu Qi, and even the corpse of the king was hit by several arrows. Wu Qi shouted, "I am not sorry to die, the ministers hate the great king, shoot his corpse, and rebel against the dao, how can I escape the law of the Chu kingdom!" "The words are over.
The crowd heard Wu Qi's words and scattered in fear. Shizi Xiongzang took the throne as King Su of Chu. After more than a month, he pursued the crime of shooting corpses, sent his brother Xiong Liangfu to lead troops to be imprisoned as a rioter, and the second order was punished, and more than seventy families were destroyed.
Wu Undulating on the corpse of the King of Chu mourned in order to avenge him, and there was still yu zhi in death.
