During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi had a nobleman with a special status called Wang Sunfeng, who did not make any earth-shattering achievements, and did not leave much ink in the "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records".
The reason why Wang Sunfeng has attracted much attention is because of his unusual origin, the three generations of grandchildren belong to the three kingdoms, and they are all aristocratic.
Wang Sunfeng was also known as Wu Feng, his grandfather Wu Hao was the crown prince of the Chu State, and his father Wu Zixu was the Xiangguo of the State of Wu, but he himself was a nobleman of the State of Qi.
During the reign of King Chuping, Wu Hao was the eunuch who taught Prince Jian, and Fei Wuji assisted Wu Hao as a young fu, but was not liked by Prince Jian because of his lack of virtue.
As Prince Jian grew up, King Chuping sent Fei Wujie to the Qin Kingdom to greet Prince Jian, and seeing that the women of the Qin State were beautiful, Fei Wuji instigated King Chuping to directly accept him as a concubine, while Prince Jian took another wife.
Fei Wuji gained the favor of King Chuping by virtue of this incident, so he left Prince Jian to serve King Chuping. Although Fei Wuji's status was getting higher and higher, he was also more and more worried in his heart that King Chu Ping would slowly grow old, and Prince Jian would one day become the new King of Chu, and he would inevitably not be able to die well.
The "Chronicle of History" records that Wu Jie not only flattered herself to the King of Ping as a Qin woman, but also served the King of Ping because she went to the crown prince. I am afraid that once the prince of Ping is killed, it is because of prince Jian.
What to do? In order to protect himself, Fei Wuji did not stop doing two things, framed Prince Jian several times, and King Chuping was also quite wary of his son because of the affairs of the women of the Qin Kingdom.
Therefore, Prince Jian was first sent to the border town to guard the city father, and then was wanted and had to flee to the Song Kingdom. Wu Hao argued on the basis of reason, but king ChuPing not only did not listen, but instead arrested him and imprisoned him.
Fei Wuji was worried that Wu Hao's son Wu Shang and Wu Zixu would take revenge, so he advised King ChuPing to summon them, promising to let Wu Hao go when he came, or kill him.
Both Wu Shang and Wu Zixu understood that they were only suffering together, but Wu Shang could not bear his father's suffering alone, and Wu Zixu fled to the State of Wu to prepare for revenge.
The "Records of History" records that Wu Hao had two sons, both of whom were virtuous, and who were not condemned and worried about Chu. It can be summoned by its father, otherwise it will be afflicted.
At this time, Wu Wangfu had just succeeded to the throne, Gongzi Guang was a general, and Wu Zixu knew that Gongzi Guang had ambitions and wanted to kill Wu Wangfu and establish himself as king, but he could not say anything about it, so he introduced himself to Gongzi Guang.
After the death of King ChuPing, King Wu took the opportunity to attack the State of Chu, resulting in an internal emptiness in the State of Wu, giving Gongzi Guang the opportunity to assassinate King Wu, and after assassinating King Wu, Gongzi Guang established himself as king, in order to lu for King Wu.
In the following years, Wu Zixu helped Lu lu to take care of political affairs, led troops to attack the Chu capital Ying, dug up the tomb of King ChuPing to avenge his father and brother, and was worshipped by Lu Lu as Xiangguo.
Wu Zixu first helped Fu Lu to capture the Chu state, and then assisted Fu Cha to subdue the Yue state, and his reputation reached its peak for a while, but then he was not welcomed because of his disagreement with Fu Cha.
Fu Cha heard that civil unrest had occurred in the State of Qi after the death of Duke Jinggong of Qi, and planned to raise troops in the Northern Expedition, most of the courtiers were in favor of this resolution, but Wu Zixu opposed it, believing that the State of Yue should be completely destroyed first.
However, Fu Cha did not listen to Wu Zixu's opinion, and as a result, Wu Guo won the battle, which made Fu Cha think that Wu Zixu was old, and from then on he became less and less inclined to adopt his strategy, and gradually became more and more marginalized in the position of Wu Guo's court.
The "Records of History" records: Neither, but the tomb of King Chuping was excavated, and his corpse was removed, and the whip was three hundred, and then it was already.
The victory at the Battle of Qilu strengthened Fu Cha's determination to march north, but Wu Zixu always opposed it, which made Fu Cha very angry, and it was not a killing, so in order to purify his ears, he sent him as an envoy to the State of Qi.
At this time, Wu Zixu was already aware of his fate, so he set off with his son Wu Feng and entrusted him to Bao Mu, a friend of Qi Guo.
The Chronicle of History records that "it belonged to his son Yu Qi Baomu, and he also reported to Wu." ”
Shortly after returning to the State of Wu, Bo Yao sent a rumor to his husband that Wu Zixu had the intention of plotting rebellion by sending his son to the State of Qi, and Wu Zixu was discouraged, so he drew his sword and committed suicide.
After Wu Zixu's death, Wu Feng no longer used the Wu surname in order not to be implicated, but used Wang Sun Feng as his own name, which is also the fundamental reason why later generations regarded the people of the Wang Sun clan as the descendants of Wu Zixu.
In history, this situation is extremely rare like the three generations of Wu Zixu, which is related to the special era of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States.
