As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, and Ji Fa's ambition seems to be not small!
In the last issue of the review, Bugs Tianxia told everyone the story of Wang Jichang's crusade against Chonghou Hu and why he did not let Jiang Ziya lead the army alone, from which we can see that King Wen Jichang's heart is still worried about Jiang Ziya. In this issue, Bugs came down to talk to you about the story of the novel "Fengshen Yanyi".
Since Bugs Tianxia is discussing the story of the novel "Fengshen Yanyi" with everyone, it has little to do with the real Zhou Wu Wang JiFa in history.
The process of Ji Fa, the son of King Wen Jichang, being called King Wu is also reflected in the book.
In the novel, it is first said that after the death of King Wen Jichang, The Hundred Officials of Xiqi supported Ji Fa to inherit Ji Chang's title of Marquis of Xibo, the so-called King of Wu, who was posthumously honored after Ji Fa's death. But then, he directly called Ji Fa the King of Wu, and this title appeared in all the following stories.
Then, in the novel "Fengshen Yanyi", why is Ji Fa, the son of King Wen Jichang, called King Wu?
Bugs world personally feel that perhaps reflected in three aspects!
First, the inclusion of Huang Feihu made Xiqi show a posture of "taking wu as king".
As we all know, in the novel "Fengshen Yanyi", Huang Feihu fled chaoge after several rounds of battle with the King of Sui. Moreover, in the process of escaping from Asaka to Nishiki, he also killed many of the guards of the five levels. From this point, it is not difficult for us to see that Huang Feihu is indeed a rare military general.
However, this incident also showed another situation, that is, Huang Feihu had become the first high-ranking minister who betrayed the King of Sui. Under normal circumstances, no matter which way the princes were, they should not accept Huang Feihu. In other words, no matter which way the princes were, they had the obligation to capture Huang Feihu and send him to the King of Lu.
However, Ji Fa accepted Huang Feihu on behalf of Xi qi.
The reason why Ji Fa would accept Huang Feihu was that he admired Huang Feihu's superb martial arts, and on the other hand, he saw Huang Feihu's ability to lead the troops.
You know, when he was around the King of Sui, Huang Feihu was the great marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and there was naturally a set of soldiers and training troops, and now that Huang Feihu was accepted, it was equivalent to finding the best instructor for the soldiers of Xiqi, who could improve the combat effectiveness of The soldiers of Xiqi by more than a large margin!
Therefore, the insect world said that Ji Fa accepted Huang Feihu, making Xiqi show a posture of "taking martial arts as the king".
Second, the crusade against the King of Qiu is mainly based on force.
Although this novel is a mythological novel, and there are many stories of the gods and immortals who expound the teachings and intercept the teachings, the main force in the crusade against the King of Qiu is the Xiqi soldiers led by Nangong Shi. The fight between the immortals only determined the victory or defeat of the exposition and interception of the teachings, and the war between the generals directly determined the fate of Xiqi and the King of Sui.
Therefore, the insect world will say that Ji Fa's crusade against the King of Qiu is mainly based on force.
Third, the name of Huang Feihu's official position was changed, showing Ji Fa's huge ambitions.
Ji Fa's father, Ji Chang, although he also had great ambitions, but because of his identity as one of the four princes and his reputation among the people of the world, Ji Chang did not dare to openly oppose or crusader against the King of Sui until his death.
However, as Ji Chang's son, Ji Fa infinitely magnified this ambition of Ji Chang, the King of Wen.
One thing is enough to prove Ji Fa's huge ambition, that is, to change the name of Huang Feihu's official position.
In this regard, in the thirty-fourth time in the book, "Flying Tiger Returns to Zhou Jian Ziya", it is written like this:
King Wu asked Zi Ya, "General Xi Huang is in Shang, where is the official position?" Ziya said, "Guanbai Zhenguo Wucheng King." King Wu said: "Gu Xiqi only changed one word, and then he was crowned 'Founding Wucheng King.'" Huang Feihu Xie En. King Wu set up a banquet, the monarchs and courtiers drank together, and before the banquet, he explained in detail the king's failure to govern. King Wu said, "Although the king is not righteous, the courtiers should be courteous and respectful, and each of them should do their best." King Wu said to Ziya: "Start construction on an auspicious day, and build a palace with Flying Tiger." ”
From the above description, we can see several things:
First of all, Ji Fa accepted Huang Feihu and let Huang Feihu take up his original position.
Secondly, Ji Fa changed the name of the official position to Huang Feihu, from "Zhenguo Wucheng Wang" to "Founding Wucheng Wang".
In the end, Ji Fa changed the name of Huang Feihu's official position not in his own name, but in the name of Xi qi.
Ji Fa accepted Huang Feihu, which was tantamount to telling the King of Sui that Xiqi had since openly confronted the King of Huang.
Ji Fa changed the name of Huang Feihu's official position, which was tantamount to telling the King of Sui that Xiqi would start his own country from now on.
Ji Fa did things in the name of Xiqi, which could well alleviate the contradictions between himself and other princes.
After all, Xiqi's reputation at this time is greater than that of Ji Fa, the King of Wu, because Xiqi's good reputation was created by Ji Chang, the King of Wen, and at this time, Ji Fa did things in the name of Xi Qi, which could make other princes feel that Xi Qi was following the practice of Ji Chang of Wen Wang, thus being able to alleviate the contradictions between Ji Fa and other princes.
After all, at this time, it was not only King Wen Jichang who wanted to overthrow King Huan.
From this, it is not difficult for us to see that the ambition of King Jifa of Wu is even worse than that of his father, King Wen Jichang.
Therefore, Taishi Wenzhong also saw this huge ambition of Ji Fa, and in the case of a war in the southeast and southeast, he vigorously advocated the crusade against Xiqi. However, in the process of attacking Xiqi at the beginning, why did Taishi Wenzhong lose one after another? Did Wen Zhong mean it? We'll talk about this in the next issue!
