In 515 BC, under the close protection of the guards, Wu Wangfu went to his cousin's house to exchange cups with Gongzi Guang. After Gongzi Guang with gout as a reason to retire, the chef knelt down to offer delicious grilled fish full of fragrant aromas. King Wu let down his guard and was stabbed to death by the chef's lightning-pumped dagger hidden in the belly of the fish. The name of the Assassin is exclusive.
Two years later, Qing Ji, the son of King Wu of Wei, in revenge for killing his father, led his elite troops across the river to attack the State of Wu. The boat traveled to the heart of the river, and due to the high wind and waves, Qingji was killed by the assassins who took advantage of the wind and inserted a short spear into the heart. The Assassins called to leave.
Assassinating political enemies has always been the most despised and extremely despicable and effective means in the political arena. Assassins were also often famous for this. It is only known that it is based on the "Assassin Biography" contained in sima qian's official history of the Western Han Dynasty, but it is less known because it was written by Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty into the miscellaneous history "Wuyue Spring and Autumn". Dedicated and detached, who is more worthy of being called a chivalrous warrior who has left his name in the past?
(1) Specializing in the assassination of the king.)
He is a combative nature, who fights with people without saying a word, and is a famous street fighter. He was recommended to Gongzi Guang and cultivated as a key object. After strict and systematic training, he specializes in becoming Gongzi Guang's most trusted dead soldier and killing machine.
Gongzi Guang raised the dead, with the aim of assassinating his cousin and the current Wu king and replacing him. He thought he had enough reasons to hold back: his father, King Zhufan of Wu, had a younger brother, and the third brother was the most virtuous but the last in rank. In order to push the third brother to the throne, Zhu Fan deliberately did not make a prince, announcing that after his death, the three brothers would take turns to become king. This seemingly wise and selfless decision laid the foundation for Wu's civil unrest. Zhu Fan collapsed, and the eldest brother succeeded to the throne. The eldest brother died, and the second brother became king. The second brother died, but the third brother refused to ascend to the throne. The top brass of the State of Wu was helpless and supported the son of the second brother as the King of Wu.
Gongzi Guang was very hurt, and scolded privately: "This gang of assholes!" According to the order of brothers arranged by the father and the king, the third brother should be established as king; according to the tradition of passing on the throne to the eldest son, I should be made king! How can it not be the turn of this unscrupulous and talentless officer! "He did his homework of usurping the throne and waited for the opportunity to attack.
After Wu Wang's staff learned of the death of King Chu Ping, he took advantage of the funeral of the Chu state to send two younger brothers to lead the Wu army to surround the chu state of Huicheng, but instead was copied by the Chu army that had already prepared. The Wu army was besieged by the Chu army, and there was no honest and outspoken minister in the country, and it fell into the dilemma of internal and external difficulties. Gongzi Guang, however, was ecstatic and pleaded with Him to stab King Wu to death.
After careful planning by the strategists, Gongzi Guang ambushed the killers in the basement in advance and invited his cousin to the mansion to feast and drink and share brotherhood. Naturally, King Wu did not believe this nonsense, but it was inconvenient to refuse, and made the most elaborate deployment: first send troops to arm martial law from the palace to his cousin's house, and send all his cronies to defend at the gate of his cousin's house and on both sides of the steps, so that several tall and mighty relatives could not leave the guard with spears.
The two brothers spoke of brotherly love in their mouths, but each had a ghost fetus in his heart. At the moment of staggering the chips, Gongzi Guang suddenly had a look of pain, falsely claimed that the gout attack avoided the seat, and slipped into the basement with the support of his cronies, "so that he could enter the belly of the dagger fish." ”
Specializing in psychological qualities is extremely strong, and his face is as usual when The Wu Wang's guards repeatedly search their bodies. Wu Wangyuan could not have imagined that the murder weapon was hidden in the belly of the sweet and sour fish, and just when he wanted to hold up the spoon and taste it, he was stabbed with a dagger at an incredible speed, "Immediately die." "As soon as He succeeded, he was immediately stabbed to death by the palace's bodyguards." Gongzi Guang took advantage of the fact that the palace guards were overwhelmed by the suddenness of the incident, and commanded the killers in the basement to rush out to "attack the disciples of the king's staff, destroy them all, and then establish themselves as kings, for the sake of Lu Lu." ”
(2) Kill Qingjie
On his way to the Kingdom of Wu, the warrior of the East China Sea, Jiaoqiu prayed to the King of Qi, and his mount was swallowed up by a water monster. Pepper Hill was furious, stripped off his sword and went into the water to fight the monster for several days, and became a one-eyed dragon when he came ashore. After arriving in WuGuo, he added oil and vinegar to the funeral of his friends and bragged about this glorious experience, and was "not inferior in words" to the Wu Guoshi doctors, and was arrogant and domineering.
A skinny guest couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up to interrupt his boasting: "A true warrior, whether fighting against the ghosts of heaven and earth or the enemy, should be 'life and death, not to be humiliated by it!"' 'You dueled with the water god, and you lost both your horse and your blind eye!' The body is damaged, the reputation is disgraced, and the face is here to install a big tail wolf! In the next to leave, teach at any time! ”
Pepper Qiu prayed to be humiliated by the public, "hate and anger at the same time", that night, he easily entered the room to leave, saw that he was going to leave the defenseless and lay motionless on the bed, daxi, grabbed the sword in one hand and grabbed it in the other, triumphantly said: "Boy! I'll let you die to understand! You have three reasons to die: humiliate me in public, go home without closing the door, and sleep without vigilance! ”
Without any fear, he sneered at each other: "I see that you have three major wrongs: I humiliated you in public, and you should not swallow your anger; you entered the master's house, did not cough when you entered the door, and did not make a sound in the hall, like a thief; you held a sword in one hand and grabbed my hair with the other hand, and only then did you dare to scare me without shame!" Aren't these three things you shouldn't be despised? ”
Pepper Qiu prayed with red ears and abandoned his sword and sighed, "I think I am a warrior in the world, and no one dares to stare at me." The courage to leave is above me, 'This world is also a hero!' ’”
During the two years that Gongzi Guang transformed into The King of Wu, he was always afraid that Qingji, the son of king Wu who was far away in the Wei kingdom, would unite with the princely states to attack the state of Wu and regain the throne. He "did not want to eat and was restless", and planned to repeat the same trick, sending assassins to defend the country to assassinate Qingji. However, "the courage of celebration is also known to the world." Bones and bones, ten thousand people are not dangling", ordinary assassins can not get close at all. Therefore, after knowing that he was going to leave the gods and brave, he sincerely invited him to leave the palace for discussion.
Unexpectedly, the world-famous first warrior was actually a weak man who was "small and weak, stiff against the wind, and volted by the negative wind". Lu Lu was disappointed, "Liang Jiu was silent. ”
Knowing king Wu's intentions, he smiled and said, "If the great king is intentional, the subject can kill Qingji!" Lu Lu laughed bitterly. He said, "Although a subject is foolish, he understands the minimum truth: to be content with the pleasures of his wife and children and not to contribute to the king is to be unfaithful!" It is unrighteous to covet the love of men and women without removing sorrows for the king! If you are unfaithful and unrighteous, pigs and dogs are not as good! ”
King Wu was suspicious: "Ru can't raise his arm when he draws his sword, he can't get on the car and he can't get on his feet, can Ru kill him?"
It is necessary to sacrifice bitter meat from the chest: "This matter is not in the strategy!" Ask the king to cooperate with the courtiers to perform a play. You convict your subject of a felony, 'severed his right hand,' so that he could 'run away from his guilt.' The king then cut the grass and roots, and killed the wives and children of the courtiers, so that 'QingJie will believe in the subjects!' Although he could not bear it in his heart, he had no choice but to act according to the plan.
After leaving the severed right arm, "cheat and offend and run", exposing the cruelty of Lu Lu along the way, "smelling the world with innocence." After he fled to Weiguo, he asked to see Qingjie, and he complained bitterly: "You know that Lu Lu is ruthless and cruel!" He went so far as to cut his subjects into waste on trumped-up charges, kill my wife and children, and burn their bodies on the streets! The poor courtier's family was innocently murdered! The details of the Kingdom of Wu are well known and will be helpful to your restoration. I hope you can take in the courtiers, who want to use your bravery to repay the blood debt from Lu Lu! ”
Qing Ji saw that he was short and his right arm was empty, and his hand was not bound to the strength of a chicken, so he had no guard, and he was convinced of his encounter, and he would stay around to practice soldiers and horses together.
Three months later, Qing Ji led a large army down the river to the east to attack the state of Wu. The boat traveled to the middle of the Yangtze River, to take advantage of the wind and waves, and suddenly pulled out a short spear "downwind and stabbed Qingjie." "Qing Ji was caught off guard and was stabbed in the heart. He endured severe pain, turned around and grabbed the upside down, threw his head into the river many times, and watched him as a toy on his knees: Hee-hee! Warriors of the world also! Dare to add to my blade! ”
The guards wanted to leave the corpse in ten thousand pieces, but QingJi waved his hand to stop it and left a will: "This man is a warrior in the world, how can two warriors be killed at the same time in one day?" When the ship arrives, you release him back to the Kingdom of Wu in recognition of his loyalty to his master! ”
After being sent ashore by the guard who was celebrated, sorrow came from it, and it was impossible to stop. The guard was very strange: "Why can't you?" To leave the tears in his eyes: "I used my plan to kill my wife and children to show loyalty to King Wu, which is not benevolent!" It is unrighteous to kill the son of the old king for the sake of the new king! Greed is born and returns, not in line with justice! Where in the world are there people who live on these three evil deeds! How I have the face to face the people of the world! After saying that, he resolutely threw himself into the river and committed suicide. The guards jumped into the river with their hands and feet to rescue them from the shore.
To be away from grief and indignation: "Can I not die?" The guards advised him: "Don't look for short-sightedness, after returning home, the wealth and glory are waiting for you to enjoy!" He let out a long sigh, "But he cut off his hands and feet, and lay down his sword and die." ”
Focusing on the separation, he sacrificed his life and forgot his death to stab out a piece of heaven for King Wu. The dedication to the assassination of the king is more like a copy of Yu letting the "soldier die for the confidant", fulfilling only the obligations of the dead; to leave the assassination celebration, its purpose is not more noble than that of the specialty. However, after retreating from the whole body, he must leave his conscience to find that he is ashamed of his wife and children and is unwilling to accept the wealth and glory that is at his fingertips, and he will commit suicide frankly to accompany his wife and children under the Yellow Spring. From this point of view, it is much more humane than to be exclusive. In contrast, it is better to leave the assassin who is more worthy of the title of Eternal Flowing Fang.
