Gou Jian, the king of Yue, fattened the royal horse of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, returned to his old country, made a fortune and tasted courage, but from it he tasted the taste of the king of subjugation, which was far more profound than the sorrow of Li Yu, the younger generation.
From the king to the groom, it seems like a lifetime ago, and ordinary people can't understand the deepest pain hidden behind Gou Jian's sad smile. Perhaps it is this empty situation that makes his ambition of rejuvenating the country and destroying Wu and dominating the world stronger than his famous sabre.
When Gou Jian returned to Yue, he saw that he was in trouble with these two good helpers and turned him into a paradise of flowers, chickens, dogs and fishing songs. When they shook hands and expressed their gratitude to the king, Fan Li noticed a cloud in Gou Jian's smiling eyes.
It is this subtle cloud of doubt that laid the groundwork for Wen Zi's death.
As an absolute saint, after Li was demoted to Wu, he devoted himself to rectifying internal affairs, developing production, saving financial expenses, and actively carried out a series of activities to enrich the people with remarkable achievements.
One day, when Gou Jian led hundreds of civil and military officials and soldiers through a farmland, he heard a frog chirping loudly, dismounted at the sound, and bowed solemnly to the "angry" frog. On the spot, he was moved to tears. He said to his civil and military colleagues: Your Majesty still respects an angry frog so much, not to mention a soldier who is strong and determined to destroy Wu Xuesham. The accompanying generals and soldiers were greatly encouraged and excited, and they wanted to kill a river of blood on the spot.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xuande threw a bucket on the ground with his long arm in front of Longbanpo. He said, "Being your good boy will hurt one of my generals." Zhao Yun was moved to tears and said, "Although the cloud is smeared on the ground, you can't report it." Liu Bei's heartfelt words are quite showy, and it is genuine to use his son as a prop. Relatively speaking, Gou Jian used only one frog to make thousands of soldiers of Yue State work for him, and his action depth was unprecedented. Only Fan Li, who was standing next to Wen Zi, was not moved. He only felt a strong fear spread in his heart.
Fan Li, who accompanied the King of Yue in the stable of the State of Wu, knew Gou Jian's superb acting skills and the essence of the emperor. This "incentive show" laid the foundation for Fan Li to go boating in all corners of the country in the future and become a business tycoon.
Think of the battle between wuyue and Li in 496 BC. Before the war, Gou Jian performed a super military show. He sent three teams of prisoners to put knives around their necks. After shouting slogans in front of the battle, they cut off their heads one by one and committed suicide, which encouraged the Vietnamese army and scared off the stupid soldiers. Gou Jian took the opportunity to storm. He Lv, the king of Wu, was killed in this battle. It was this war that made wuyue and China "enemies" at the national level.
As the courtiers of the King of Yue, Fan Li's IQ is not much higher than that of literary genre, and their loyalty to the king and the country is equally high. It's just that Fan Li's understanding and grasp of the essence of kings is much more profound than literary genre.
With the help of their efforts and Bo's mistakes, Gou Jian finally eliminated Wu and took the position of the overlord of the Central Plains. He looked at the two courtiers who had made great contributions, and his heart was choppy. Gou Jian knows that Wen Zi and Fan Li are absolutely good courtiers, but they are too capable. If their prestige is high, they will lose their hats. With a little effort, the two of them can manage the country smoothly and all walks of life will prosper. They will integrate the grass people, obedient people, ignorant people, unruly people and mobs in the state of Yue into just people who share weal and woe. If they stamp their feet, won't their country collapse by half?
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once said with emotion: "It is difficult to be a common people, and it is even more difficult to be a king." I don't know how difficult it is to be a good courtier and settle down.
Zheng Wei, a minister in the Tang Dynasty, once divided officials into twelve categories: "Six Righteousness" and "Six Harms". The six evils of an official are holiness, goodness, loyalty, wisdom, loyalty and straightforwardness, and the six evils of an official are minister, disdainful minister, traitor, thief and traitor.
In fact, Wen Zi and Fan Li know in their hearts that they are just a courtier who wants to do good deeds, and some are loyal and patriotic. As to what kind of courtiers they belong to, Wen Zi may not have time to think about it. He's too busy. He often goes down to do research, observes people's feelings and public opinions, and seeks and conceives the best prescriptions and policies to ensure national security. Fan Li may not want to think about it at all. He clearly heard the implication of Gou Jian's "House of Flying Daggers" from a piece of neon music. Desperate, he took the stone with him and fled to "all corners of the country" on a dark and windy night, hiding in a foreign country and secretly starting a big business. Before leaving, I only left a letter to Gou Jian, which should be regarded as "overlord" asking for leave, or actively dismissing Gou Jian.
Fan Li, who was hiding in Qi, did not forget his good friend Wen Zi who was involved in the * * * incident. He is always worried about him. He sent a message to Wen Zi: When birds are exhausted, good bows hide, cunning rabbits die, and good dogs cook, the king can suffer, but he can't be happy. Your Wen Zi won't run away like me, and the King of Yue will kill you one day.
To be honest, I thought: Fan Li is really crazy. We worked diligently for Gou Jian, but we didn't commit a crime. Why did the King of Yue kill us? You old fan worry too much. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gou Jian to make a show casually, and the head of literature and art fell to the ground.
In fact, Wen Zi was killed by himself, and Gou Jian was the culprit. Who let you work in Gaozhen, who let you have high prestige, who let you be brilliant, who let you not judge the situation, and often snore and have fun in front of Wang Ta, and you can't sleep well even if you die.
Later generations of Chen Sheng, although also performed a fish belly woman's "destiny" show, but the kung fu is far less skilled than Gou Jian. Just after saying "rich as an enemy, I can't forget each other", I accidentally became rich and became king. As soon as they got rich, he immediately turned against others, went directly to the local area with several knives, and killed all the poor partners who came to him for a bowl of rice and played with him in farming since childhood, and buried them overnight. Fun and relaxed, unlike your literary style. Death leaves too many regrets for future generations, and even the emperor has the reputation of * * * suffering through thick and thin. Why bother?
