At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Yue destroyed the State of Wu with the help of Fan Li and Wen Zhong, becoming the last overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, at this time at the time of the alternation of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the powerful State of Yue at this time can be described as the first hand, but the fact is that the Seven Heroes of the Warring States did not have the shadow of the State of Yue, and after about 140 years of the destruction of Wu, the State of Yue was destroyed by the State of Chu and completely disappeared into the stage of history.
Why the Yue kingdom, which was once one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, gradually went to the end of the road until it perished, in fact, the seeds were planted as early as the time of the destruction of Wu.
01 Go against the trend and follow Zhou Tianzi's reversal of history
After Gou Jian finally destroyed Wu, the national strength and prestige of the Yue State reached its peak, and the Gou Jian prestige reached the extreme. However, Le Ji was sad, and as the last overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, he did not feel the change of the times of "people's hearts are not ancient", and when the central plains countries and the Chu state had begun to vigorously attack other countries to seize the territory, he actually did the opposite, learning Zhou Tianzi within the scope of his control, and wantonly divided the princes, according to relevant historical records, only in Wudi were divided into Song Wang, Shao Wang, Jing Wang, Gan Wang, Lie Wang, Xiang Wang, Yue Wang Shi, Zhou Song Jun, Yu Fu Jun, Shangshe Jun and other domestic princes.
This practice of gouge made the power and national strength of the Yue king greatly dispersed, and later when the Central Plains countries tried to change the law and try to become stronger, they could only stare dryly, and there was no strong support to support the country to change the law and make it strong (the changes in the Central Plains countries were often carried out with the support of a strong monarch, and the greater the support, the more successful the change was).
02 Kill yourself, and the royal family is in turmoil
After the old man's house went, the vietnamese royal family clan internal self-strife wars were called a frequent, the political situation was quite chaotic, and in the civil unrest, the national strength was greatly damaged. According to historical records, after the practice, "the Yue people killed their kings three times":
1. In 449 BC, the impatient Zhu Gou wanted to turn right ahead of time, so he decisively turned his father and usurped the throne.
2. In 375 BC, Yue Wangfeng's younger brother Yu wanted to "compete for a post", and in order to inherit the throne, instigated yue wang to remove the crown prince. Encouraged by the ancestor Zhu Gou, the king of Yue, in line with the principle of "rather bear the old father than let the old father bear me", he first attacked to kill the Yue king Feng for the strong. However, he was not as fierce as Zhu Gou, and soon he himself was killed, and the country fell into civil unrest. This chaos was two years, and two years later, the Yue State Secretary's Dafu Temple District killed the culprit Yu again, and the marquis of Yue Wang's son became the new Yue King.
3. However, at this time, the Yue royal family, which was tossing and turning, had no real power, and after more than 10 years of being the king of Yue, in 363 BC, the younger brother of the temple district Si resulted in the marquis, so that his younger brother Wu Zhao also came to a puppet Yue Wang addiction.
In this way, the tragedy of killing the king and killing the father that was constantly staged in the court of the Vietnamese country, as well as the mutual killing between the nobles of the Vietnamese country, caused political chaos, social turmoil, and economic regression in the country, and also greatly depleted the national strength of the country, and gradually caused the decline and fall of the country.
03 Being mean and unkind, talent competition is too unsuccessful
Before the anti-killing of the husband, Gou Jian was able to taste the guts on the salary, and even taste the stool of the husband, which was indeed a cruel person. However, once the achievement is completed, it is full of nature, and it is extremely harsh and unkind to talents and heroes. In 473 BC, with a strong will that could not be tolerated by ordinary people, ten years of gathering and ten years of education, Gou Jian finally swallowed the state of Wu, and crossed the Huai River north, and met with Qi, Jin and other large and small princes in Xuzhou, And King Zhibo of Zhou Yuan became one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Maybe the hook is also to endure humiliation and burden for many years, and I don't want to toss it anymore, in the spring and autumn of this piece of the jianghu, it is not bad to dominate this achievement. So there was no next big goal, in order to prevent themselves from taking too much advantage and causing red eyes, they also took the initiative to send a large area of land to the Chu State and other countries (anyway, they were all robbed, not distressed).
Since there was no goal, it seemed that there was not much need for the meritorious ministers of that year to stay, and they did not want to pay a high salary, so they gave death to the literary language, and before they died, they did not forget the disgusting people: "You gave me 7 strategies to deal with the State of Wu, I only used 3 to defeat the State of Wu, the remaining 4 are in your place, you use these 4 to go underground to defeat the first king of the State of Wu for the widow!" This shows that the mind of the Great King of Gou jian is not big enough, and the two talents who have made great achievements in the Yue kingdom, Wen Zhong and Fan Li, are just using them, and the suspicion is very serious. Fortunately, Fan Li was more clever, knew that he could not "get rich and noble" and ran away early, otherwise I believe that he would definitely die much worse than Wen Zhong, because he had "fooled" into practicing what his husband had done.
The so-called "can share hardships and hardships can not share wealth" is also, such a practice and yueguo, who wants to play with you?
Therefore, after the practice, the Vietnamese country did not produce or absorb well-known talents or famous subjects, and the competition for talents was extremely unsuccessful compared with the countries of the Central Plains.
The consequences of this reason can be described as vividly reflected in the demise of the Vietnamese state.
At this time, the Central Plains had entered the middle of the Warring States period, and the Central Plains countries were either in war or on the road of war, comrade Wu Qi was not willing to be lonely, wanted to recreate the glory of the old ancestors who dominated the Central Plains, and in 334 BC began to attack the Qi state in the north, wanting to fight the autumn wind in the rich land. However, it was very nonsensical that the State of Qi sent a lobbyist Su Dai (the younger brother of Su Qin), who turned his head and drove the army towards the State of Chu without hesitation.
However, what Comrade Wu Yi did not know was that the King of Chu Wei, who "did not make a splash," had long wanted to clean up the Yue Kingdom, and even sent the minister Zhao Shui to the Yue Kingdom for 5 years undercover to investigate the situation in the Yue Kingdom clearly, and the result was: "The Chu people were defeated, the more they dispersed, the more the dukes fought, or as kings, or as kings, on the sea, and submitted to Chu." Comrade Wu Qi, who was not very sober-minded, did not have any reliable subordinates around him, and thus became the last Yue king.
Therefore, the prosperity of the Yue kingdom lies in the practice, and the death of the Yue country also stems from the practice.
