Today, when I was idle at home and reading Feng Menglong's "Chronicles of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", I found that the seventy-ninth time in the book, "Gui Nu Le Li Mi Obstructed Confucius Qihui Ji Wen Zhi Tong Zai Yao", there is a paragraph on which wu Wang Fucha is the grandson of Lu Lu. "He wanted to choose among the princes who could be established, and his intention was still undecided, and he wanted to summon his son Xu Zhizhi, and the crown prince BoQianfei gave birth to a son, a husband, who was twenty-six years old, born with a heroic and heroic son, a table of talents, and heard that his ancestors chose an heir, but first approached zi Xu Yue: "My concubine Sun Ye, who wants to be crown prince, who will give me up?" This is in xiangguo's ear. Zi Xu Xu Zhi, Shao Qing, Lu Lu summoned Zi Xu to discuss the matter of Li Chu, Zi Xu said: "If you set up a son and a concubine, you will not be born." Although the present prince is not Lu, he has a grandson and a husband. ”
Here it is said that Wu Wang Fuchai was the son of Prince Bo, and Prince Bo was the son of King Wu, but Prince Bo died early and did not wait to inherit the throne, so when Wu Wang Fulu chose the heir, he chose the grandson Fuchai at that time under the recommendation of Wu Zixu, just like Zhu Yuanzhang chose his grandson Zhu Yunjiao as the heir.
However, we record in Sima Qian's "Records of History" wu Taibo's family: At the age of two, The Crown Prince Fu sent a general to cut down Chu and take the fan. Also: Lu Lu was sick and wounded and would die, saying that the prince's husband sent a message: "Er forgot to kill Er's father? Fu Cha said to him, "Don't dare to forget." "The literal meaning in the Chronicle of History is that Fu Cha was the prince of Fu Lu, and when He Lu was dying, he said to Fu Cha, can you forget that You killed your father? Fu Cha replied that he did not dare to forget. Here we can see that Sima Qian believed that Fu Cha was the son of Lu Luzhi.
Who should we believe in these two statements? Speaking of this, some people will say that at that time, it was necessary to believe the statement in the "Shi Ji", after all, the "Shi Ji" was the first general history of the Ji Chuan style in Chinese history, and his authority was higher, while the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" was a long historical novel written by the late Ming novelist Feng Menglong and adapted by Cai Yuanfang in the Qing Dynasty, and the text was slightly rough, unlike the canonical history of the "Shi Ji".
In fact, not only does the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" think that Wu WangFucha is the grandson of Lu Lu, but also the "Wu Yue Chunqiu" also thinks so, and there is such a passage in the "Wu Yue Chunqiu" that "when the prince also died of illness, lu Lu plotted to choose the sons who could be established, and there was no definite plan." Prince Bo sent a message to Wu Xu day and night: The king wants to make a prince, but who should be the prince? This count is in Jun'er. The "Wu Yue Chunqiu" also believes that Wu Wang Fu Cha was originally the son of Prince Bo, but after Prince Bo's death, Fu Cha found Wu Zixu to ask him to help and recommended himself to succeed him as crown prince to the then King of Wu.
"Wu Yue Chunqiu" is written by Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is a historical work that mainly records the historical events of Wu and Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is a miscellaneous history, and its weight is still a little worse than that of the "Historical Record", but since there are several works that believe that Fu Cha is the grandson of Wu Wang Lu, this shows that this statement that "Fu Cha is the grandson of Fu Cha is the grandson of Lu Lu" is wrong.
The author personally believes that fu cha is very likely to be the grandson of Lu Lu, after all, in the "History" does not say how fu cha this prince inherited at that time, unlike the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" and "Wu Yue Chunqiu" detailed that Fu Cha was because the prince died early, he had the opportunity to inherit the unification as a grandson, and this sentence in the "History" "Er forgot to kill Er's father?" Is it possible that the word "father" here means grandfather? There is also a saying that at that time, Lu Lu had been injured and died of illness on the road, so he did not have the opportunity to say to Fu Cha that sentence "Er forgot to kill Er Father Hu?" Is that only the sentence written by Sima Qian, the author, "Er forgot to kill Er Father Hu?" "Isn't it far-fetched to conclude that Fu Cha is the son of Lu Lu?"
