Wu Qi was a Defender of the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, serving as an official in the neighboring State of Lu, the State of Qi attacked the State of Lu, and the State of Lu planned to let Wu Qi be a general to oppose the State of Qi, at this time the close ministers rumored to the monarch that Wu Qi's wife was a Qi state, Wu Qi may have rebelled halfway, Wu Qi was forced to be helpless, told his wife about this matter, and the wife committed suicide on the same day. Without rumors, Wu Qi was appointed general and defeated the State of Qi.
Not long after, the courtiers also slandered the king of the State of Lu, saying that Wu Qi was a student of Zengzi in his early years, and that his mother would not go back to mourning after his mother died, and Zengzi expelled him from the house. Now Wu Qi actually let his wife commit suicide in order to become a great general, which shows that he is a mean and cruel person. Wu Qi was afraid of being harmed, and when he heard that Marquis Wen of Wei was capable, he went to defect to Marquis Wen.
Wenhou asked Li Ke how Wu Qi was, and Li Ke said that Wu Qi was greedy for money and lustful, but he used soldiers like gods, and no one could match him today. Therefore, Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as a general and laid down five cities in the Qin state.
Wu Qidang, a general who dressed and ate the same as the lowest soldiers, slept on the grass like other soldiers, marched without riding horses, walked with the soldiers, carried his own grain, and shared happiness and suffering with the soldiers. Some soldiers were wounded and suppurated, and Wu Qi personally sucked out pus with his mouth. The soldier's mother cried loudly when she heard the news, and others asked, your child is just an ordinary soldier, and the general who is high above sucks pus for him, he should be moved, why cry? The mother replied, no, in previous years, Wu Qi sucked pus for the child's father, and the father did not retreat from the war, so he died in battle, and now Wu Qi sucked my son again, I really don't know where my son will die, so I cry.
A few years later, When Marquis Wen died, Marquis Wu of Wei became the monarch, and Marquis Wu inspected along the West River and said to Wu Qi in the middle of the river that the great rivers and mountains of the State of Wei were really beautiful. Wu Qi replied: There is no danger in Germany, if you do not cultivate Ende, then the people on this ship are enemies.
After a long time, Wei Xianggong's uncle was jealous of Wu Qi's talent, and the counselor gave him an idea, saying that Wu Qi was strong and proud, and you first said to the monarch that Wu Qi was very talented, Wei Guoguo was small, I was afraid that he did not want to stay in Wei Guo, why didn't you give him the princess Xu, if he did not want to stay in Wei Guo, he would inevitably resign. You go back with the princess and let the princess humiliate you, Wu Qi saw it, and must resign to Wu Hou, who doubted him, and he left on his own. The uncle did so, and The Marquis of Wu did suspect him, and Wu Qi was afraid of being harmed, so he defected to the King of Chu.
The King of Chu, knowing that Wu Qi was talented, appointed him as a chancellor, and Wu Qi strictly decreed, trained troops and strengthened the army, helped the King of Chu to pacify the entire land of Baiyue, defeated Han Zhao Wei in the north, attacked the Qin state in the west, all countries were afraid of the Chu state, and the imperial relatives of the Chu state all resented Wu Qi.
After the death of King Chu Mourning, the imperial relatives of the Chu State rebelled and pursued and killed Wu Qi, who lay down on the corpse of King Chu Mourning, and the people who pursued and killed Wu Qi shot Wu Qi with arrows, and Wu Qi ended his legendary life.
After reading Wu Qi's life experience, I will be disdainful of his thin feelings for killing his wife and not running to his mother's funeral, deeply resentful of his killing a father and son, and dismissive of the experience of his three family slaves, but what I see is a Wu Qi who is constantly suspected by colleagues and leaders, constantly disgusted by the common people, has a confidant but dies early, and does not meet with talent but does his best to shine.
If the people of Lu did not doubt him, Wu Qi's wife would not die, if Zeng Zi could understand that he did not go back to mourn because there was no travel fee, the world would not have so many prejudices against him, if wei guo did not test him inexplicably and wonderfully, he would not leave the country where he once appreciated himself so much, Wu Qi's whole life was under the suspicion of others, until he met the king of Chu Mourning, the king of Chu mourning gave him the position of a minister above ten thousand people under one person, he also lived up to his trust, and other countries trembled in front of the Chu state. Wu Qi finally realized his ideal, but the King of Chu Mourning still died, this time Wu Qi did not run away, he was tired, he was also old, he was suspected all his life, he was running away all his life, this time, he wanted to go with the King of Chu Mourning, Wu Qi in this life, to be able to meet such a confidant as the King of Chu Mourning, it was enough.
