The reason why Wuqi killed his wife

In the book "Everything is Wrong", there is a story of Wu Qi's divorce from his wife. It means that Wuqi arranged for his wife to knit a tape that met the specifications, but his wife didn't follow the specifications. Instead, she answered him casually. May 7th was stern and stubborn, insisted on that specification, and divorced her. His brother-in-law begged him, but he refused. The meanest job search in history (selected from The Story of Cowboys and Military Strategists Written by Sima Qian) China has the habit of praising rising stars through predecessors' celebrities. For example, he used to say "Sun Wu is still alive". Sun refers to Sun Wu and Sun Bin, and Wu is Wuqi. In fact, in Historical Records, the stories of Sun Wu, Sun Bin and Wuqi were all merged by Sima Qian, which shows that Wuqi is indeed a great strategist in Sima Qian's mind, on a par with Sun Wu and Sun Bin.

Wu Qi was a patriot in the Spring and Autumn Period. He used to learn from Ceng Zi and received a systematic Confucian education. Ceng Zi is a famous Zeng Shen and an apprentice of Confucius. The Book of Filial Piety is said to have been written by Ceng Zi, a scholar who specializes in filial piety ethics. But it is puzzling that Sima Qian also said that Wuqi was Xia Zi's apprentice and Xia Zi was Confucius' apprentice, and his academic specialty was literature and art. These two records of Taishigong were contradictory, and obviously one of them was wrong. Tai Shigong's mistake proves a simple truth that everyone makes mistakes. Seeing this, the handrail passengers are even more afraid to guarantee that what they have written must be true. In case an expert discovers the fallacy in the handrail, please treat it kindly as far as possible.

No matter whether Wu Qi is Ceng Zi's apprentice or Xia Zi's apprentice, one thing is certain: Wu Qi is a disciple of Confucius in terms of seniority, and he was definitely a noble and decent person in the academic circles of China in those days. Today, with the face, status and personal connections of teachers, masters and uncles, Wuqi can completely join a famous university as an academic leader, and it is not a problem to apply for a doctorate or get some research funds. Unfortunately, in the era when Wuqi lived, the academic Jianghu, just like the Wulin in Bruce Lee's era, talked about the real kung fu of hard bridge and hard horse. Therefore, although Wuqi was born in a famous family, the gold-lettered signboard handed down by the master did not bring the prosperity of "like spring breeze, dead of night" to Wuqi when he was young.

Later, Wu Qi left and went to Lu, where he began to work for the monarch in the name of his master. However, Wuqi, unlike Sima Yi and Sun Wu, did not seem to be reused, although he embarked on his official career. Because "Historical Records" only recorded Wuqi's "learning from Ceng Zi and serving Lu Jun", but did not record Wuqi's rank and treatment at that time. Obviously, Wuqi was not in an official position commensurate with Sima Qian's records.

Until one day, Wu Qi, who couldn't wait to get ahead, killed his wife without hesitation in order to be a big official. As the old saying goes, "One will become famous, but ten thousand bones will wither". For the famous Wu Qi, the first one to wither is his wife.

One year, Qi, a military power, suddenly launched a war of aggression against Lu, a neighboring country and a cultural power, and Lu suddenly fell into a huge survival crisis. The 5,000-year history of China tells us that all cultures are powerless in the face of violence. Therefore, Lu, a cultural power at that time, although there were many literati represented by Confucian disciples, for a while, there was no one who could lead troops to fight with violence. So someone recommended Wuqi to Lu Guojun. Wuqi is not only Ceng Zi's apprentice, but also "good at fighting". More importantly, Wuqi's reputation as a "warrior" was not a household name in Lu at that time, at least "Xiao He showed his edge". When the country was in danger, King Lu planned to use Wuqi as the general of Lu.

However, as a general in charge of a country's military resources, Wu Qi not only needs excellent military command ability, but also must pass a strict examination of his character and background, which is an eternal organizational procedure. At the critical moment when Wuqi became a general of Lu, there was a problem with his censorship. The problem lies in Wuqi's wife. Because Wuqi married a woman of Qi, the king and ministers of Lu became suspicious and used Qi's son-in-law to lead troops against Qi's army. This sounds really unreliable. Besides, Wuqi himself is not from Shandong, but patriotic. He came to Shandong only for the pursuit of making money and being an official. If Wuqi loves Lu more than his wife because he is the hometown of his founder Confucius, I'm afraid no one believes it. Who can guarantee that a patriotic son-in-law of Qi can risk offending his wife and father-in-law and serve the people of Lu wholeheartedly? When it comes to leading troops to fight and winning thousands of miles, Lu has no experience, but if he is afraid that his wife is a man, he will know how powerful it is, so the nationality of Wuqi's wife has become an insurmountable obstacle for Wuqi to ascend to the throne of the general.

If the audit fails, there is nothing anyone can do. This is the power of the program.

King Lu had to plan to hire someone else.

Wuqi is in a hurry. As an educated youth who has been "good at fighting" since childhood, his life pursuit is not to become a generation of cultural masters like his master Ceng Zi, but to become a generation of famous stars like Sima Yi and Sun Wu. Wu Qi grew up in a well-off family. What he pursues is not material wealth, but world-famous social influence and historical position in history. Unfortunately, for Wu Qi, learning is obviously not feasible. The value and status of cultural masters decrease with the continuation of generations, such as Confucianism. Of course, the greatest master is Confucius, who is recognized as a "saint", followed by Confucius' students, who are called "sages". Wu Qi's turn. He really can't imagine what he would be like if he followed Ceng Zi all his life. Objectively speaking, if Wuqi takes the road of cultural scholars, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to go down in history. Even if there is such an opportunity, it is very likely that there was a patriot named Wuqi who studied under the sage Ceng Zi. What Wu Qi can't accept is that even titles such as "sage" and "sage" are mostly evaluated by the world after a hundred years. A considerable proportion of "saints" and "sages" were quite lonely and even timid before their death. Wuqi is not Yan Hui. He can never live in a mean alley without changing his pleasure. In addition, although there was no lecture hall, cultural masters blossomed everywhere in the form of a hundred schools of thought contending. When a master of culture is alive, few people succeed immediately. However, the famous soldiers are different. There are many famous soldiers in the history of China, and there are admirable soldiers throughout the ages. It is difficult for future generations to judge who is greater, Sima Yi, Sun Wu or Sun Bin. More importantly, both Sima Yi and Sun Wu became famous in World War I. When they were alive, these people became famous all over the world. This is the life that Wuqi wants. Although Wu Qi, an intellectual young man from Wei State, studied under the master of culture, he has already made up his mind to become a great soldier with war and determination, rather than a scholar with a bad head and poor economy. Seeing that the seal of General Lu and the military symbol of power were just around the corner, Wuqi was really anxious and sad because he married Qi's wife. Wu Qi did not expect that he accidentally found personal trouble for his career. Life is really unpredictable. Wuqi married Qi's wife, and Qi attacked Lu, but Wuqi happened to be in Lu, and Lu had no more suitable person to be a general. A series of accidents finally produced a necessity. Wu Qi, who was determined to become a famous soldier, personally killed his wife and showed his loyalty and determination with bloody practical actions.

When Wuqi appeared in front of King Lu with his wife's bloody head and a determined expression, King Lu was shocked with a bang. King Lu really didn't expect a woman's beautiful head to have this kind of use besides viewing, and was rendered speechless by Wuqi's brain teasers. Wuqi killed his wife and climbed up. With this, Wuqi has been qualified to go down in history.

In fact, before Wuqi, there was a man named Yiya who committed a similar heinous crime in the Qi Huangong era of Qi. At that time, in order to win the trust and favor of Qi Huangong, the first tyrant in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yiya resolutely killed her son and cooked a dish for Qi Huangong to taste. Yi Ya was killed because Qi Huangong once joked at dinner: "I am the king, and I have eaten all the delicious food except human flesh." . Hearing Qi Huangong's emotion, Yi Ya took the initiative and grasped Qi Huangong's intention creatively. He takes it for granted that as a minister, you can't let your boss have regrets in his life. So Yiya went home that night and killed her son and sent him to the kitchen. As the saying goes, "A man's words are to be feared". Besides, Qi Huangong ate Yi Ya's own son, so Qi Huangong had to sit up and take notice of Yi Ya. From then on, Yi Ya entered the power center of Qi State, and later became an important minister after that. In the same way, Wuqi made up his mind to kill his wife himself, but he was really embarrassed to find fault with Wuqi's background and personality, so Wuqi quickly passed the exam and became a general that Lu dreamed of.

Judging from the two famous dehumanization cases in China's history, Yi Ya's killing of children and Wuqi's killing of his wife, the toxicity of power is really terrible. Wu Qi, a famous strategist in the early Warring States period in ancient China, was as famous as his grandson (Sun Wu) and was honored as a "soldier saint". But in fact, he is always inferior to his grandson, which is related to his character and behavior.

Wu Qiben is a patriotic person. When he was a teenager, his family had thousands of dollars in assets. He failed to seek fame everywhere and even went bankrupt. Hometown people laughed at him. In a rage, Wuqi killed more than 30 neighbors who laughed at him. When he left his hometown, he said goodbye to his mother and said, If I can't be a minister, I will never enter this country again! He studied in Ceng Zi and was a student of Confucius. A few days later, his mother died, but he just didn't go back to the funeral. Ceng Zi saw that he was rich in fame, regardless of filial piety, so he broke off the teacher-student relationship with him. Later, Wu Qi went to Lu. Qi attacked Lu and intended to appoint Wu Qi as a general, but because his wife was from Qi, Lu people doubted his loyalty. In order to get the position of general and become famous, Wuqi even killed his wife to show his ambition. So Lu Jun appointed Wu Qi as general and broke Qi.

Although he has made great contributions, the incident of killing his wife has a very bad influence in the minds of Lu people. Someone said to the monarch: Wu Qi is a suspicious and vicious person. To get rich, he even killed his wife. Our country, Shandong, is a small country. Fortunately, winning a battle today will inevitably lead to the covetousness and plot of governors. Moreover, Lu and Wei are brother countries, and the monarch's reuse of Wuqi today is a betrayal of the friendship of defending the country. Hearing this, Lu Jun became suspicious of Wu Qi and politely refused him.

Wuqi came to Wei to get to know Wei Wenhou and his son Wuhou. When I was in Wei, I fought for fame with. The design made Wuqi suspicious of Wuhou. Wuqi was afraid of Wuhou's crime and left Wei to Chu.

King Mourning of Chu had long heard of Wuqi's name and great talent, and he reused it, taking Wuqi as the phase and presiding over the political reform of Chu. The reform in Wuqi made the State of Chu strong rapidly: Baiyue in Nanping, Cai Chen in the north and Sanjin Qin in the west. All governors suffer from it. However, the Wuqi political reform, like the Shang Yang political reform, harmed the interests of many royal families. When the king of Chu died, the imperial clan minister made an insurrection and attacked Wuqi. Wuqi avoided hiding next to the body of the king of Chu. The rebels fired arrows at Wuqi, and even the body of Ai Wang was shot with arrows. After the prince ascended the throne, he executed those who shot and killed the bodies of Wuqi and Zhongwang, thus killing more than 70 families.

Wu Qi's life is very complicated. For wealth, I don't care about my wife and mother; But when he was in Wei, he persuaded that the long-term stability of a country lies in establishing a king, not in the danger of mountains and rivers. As a leader, he can share his food with the lowest foot soldiers. Lying down without a seat, sitting or not. Bring your own food and share joys and sorrows with the foot soldiers. One of the foot soldiers abscess, Wuqi actually sucked it out with his mouth. The soldier's mother couldn't help crying when she heard this. Someone said to her, "Your son is just an inferior soldier. It's an honor for the general to suck an abscess for your son himself. Why are you crying? " The mother replied: "A few years ago, the father of the child got an abscess. General Wu sucked it out for him himself. His father died in battle to repay the general. " Today, General Wu sucked my son's abscess again, and my son must die on the battlefield again. I am alone, who can I rely on in the future? That's why I cried! "Wuqi is very good to the foot soldiers and won the morale, so the army he led has very strong combat capability and often wins battles.

But it was this Wuqi who killed his wife for help in Lu; When he was in Chu, he died because he was unkind. Only in this way can we gain wealth and fame, but we cannot die of incompetence. Cause and effect have their own merits, which is not cool at all! Sima Qian commented on Historical Records that those who can speak may not be able to speak, and those who can speak may not be able to do it. It is the best portrayal of Wuqi.
