Historically, Wu Qi served successively in the States of Lu, Wei, and Chu, and his lack of trust in his lifetime had a lot to do with his viciousness and the exclusion of political opponents.
Next, Jincheng Muyu and everyone to see the specific factors at that time.
First of all, let's look at the States of Lu, Wei, and Chu that Wu Qi served in succession.
After Wu Qi left his hometown of Weiguo, he came to Luguo to study Confucianism and bingjia successively, seeking the path of development. During this period, the State of Qi attacked the State of Lu, and the King of the State of Lu originally wanted to appoint Wu Qi, but because his wife was a native of the State of Qi, he was suspicious, and in order to dispel the doubts of the State of Lu, Wu Qi actually killed his own wife, which was the "killing of his wife and asking for generals" that Wu Qi was criticized by posterity.
After Wu Qi entered the State of Wei from the State of Lu, it coincided with the time when Marquis Wen of Wei became the monarch, so he asked Wu to deal with the Qin army in the west, and Wu Qi repeatedly won in the war against Qin, and created the famous Wei Wu pawn, which made great contributions to the Wei state in opening up its territory west of the Yellow River.
After Wu Qi defected to the State of Chu, with the support of the King of Chu Mourning, he carried out a change of law, and the State of Chu was shaken, sweeping away the decline since the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and regaining its vitality, attacking Baiyue to the south and defeating The Wei Wu pawns created by Wu Qi himself, the Wei Zhen princes.
Wu Qi's lack of trust has a lot to do with his viciousness.
It has to be said that Wu Qi, whether in the State of Lu, the State of Wei or the State of Chu, has made many contributions, defeating Qiang Qi for the State of Lu, defeating Qin for the State of Wei, and defeating the State of Wei for the State of Chu.
However, Wu Qi's cruelty also made many people dislike him, especially in the Confucian flourishing Lu State, who ultimately did not get the trust of the Lu State Monarch, which had a lot to do with his cruel "killing his wife and asking for a general".
Wu Qi's lack of trust is inseparable from the exclusion of political opponents.
Wu Qi's exclusion from political opponents was mainly manifested in the wei wuhou period, when the duke of the State of Wei (who later suppressed Shang Martingale and let him go was still him) for his own personal interests, afraid that Wu Qi would take his place, he designed a relationship between Wei Wuhou and Wu Qi, Wei Wuhou no longer trusted Wu Qi, and Wu Qi fled the Chu state under the exclusion of gong gong.
During his lifetime, Wu Qi also met Marquis Wen of Wei and King Chu who trusted him.
Wu Qi often did not get trust because of his viciousness and the exclusion of his opponents, but not all of them did not trust him, and Wei Wenhou of the State of Wei trusted him and reused Wu Qi, so that the State of Wei repeatedly took advantage of him on the battlefield against Qin.
In addition, the King of Chu of the Chu Kingdom also trusted Wu Qi, reused Wu Qi, and supported Wu Qi's transformation method to revitalize the Chu State. Without the trust of Wei Wenhou and King Chu Mo, Wu Qizhong would be a talented man and a useless place for heroes.
