Wu was convicted of direct admonition. King Chu Ping, afraid of revenge from his two sons, lied to him and said, "If you can call your two sons, I will let you go." Upon receiving his father's letter, Wu Zixu said, "The King of Chu asked us to go, not to let his father live, but to uproot the grass to avoid future troubles. It's better to run for your life and wait for tomorrow. " But Wu Shang said, "Father's life is inviolable. I will do my duty and you will take revenge. " So Wu Shang died and Wu Zixu fled abroad. After that, I wandered around and even begged on the street. Finally, with the help of Wu people, they defeated Chu in one fell swoop. Digging the dissolute and heartless King Chu Ping out of the grave, flogging the corpse for 300, and finally getting rid of the great hatred. Sima Qian's evaluation of Wu Zixu is: "It is a great shame to abandon xiaoyi, and his name will be remembered by future generations." People praised him for being flexible and unconstrained by morality. However, this personal vendetta against other soldiers is undoubtedly a righteous act, and there should be no essential difference with Qin Gui and others who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. And in any case, the practice of flogging the body is too cruel. For Wu, the arrival of Wu Zixu certainly played a certain role, but Wu Zixu's unpopular behavior after leading the troops to pacify Chu also put Wu Jun in a position where everyone shouted and beat, even Qin couldn't stand it, and finally he sent his troops to drive away the Wu people. Should we admire Wu's unyielding revenge or condemn his foolish behavior of inviting wolves into the room?

Later, Wu and Vietnam had an argument. First, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, defeated Wu Jun in Gusu, injured the finger of the King of Wu and died of sores. He Lv said to Prince Fu Cha before he died, "Don't forget Gou Jian's revenge for killing his father." Objectively speaking, Wu was a little stronger at that time. Can win the warring states seven male chu, almost destroyed, let alone yue. So three years later, the two countries fought again and the country was defeated. Fu Cha could have wiped out Yue State to avoid future troubles, but Taizai Aibo accepted the generous gift of Yue State and put in a good word for Yue State. Fu Cha relented and was ready to accept Yue's request for peace. Wu Zixu remonstrated, saying, "The King of Yue is a man who bears the burden of humiliation. If he doesn't let it out now, he will regret it in the future. " Focha won't listen.

Five years later, Qi Jinggong died, and ministers fought for power and profit. The new king was very immature. Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, wanted to explore the North. Wu Zixu also exhorted, "Gou Jian, the King of Yue, must want to make a difference. This man will never die, and the consequences will be endless. Yue State is a menace to the State of Wu. Isn't it ridiculous to abandon Yue and cut Qi? " But the king of Wu wouldn't listen. Fortunately, Wu Jun won the war against Qi, but Wu Zixu's position in the eyes of King Wu and Fu Cha was reduced.

Four years later, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, sent troops to the Northern Expedition. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, also sent troops to help, bribing the greedy and useless uncle Wu Taizai with a large sum of money to put in a good word for Yue. Fucha was arrested. At this point, Wu Zixu, who has been alienated by the prince of Wu, once again moved out of his theory of "menace". Fu Cha was very annoyed, but considering that he was a former Wang Laochen and had made great contributions to Wu, he sent him to Qi. Wu Zixu knew that Wu would die, but the last thing he should do was to entrust his son to Bao Mu, a Qi man. This is untenable, so it automatically creates an excuse for treason for the villains. So uncle took the opportunity to slander, and Fu Cha, the king of Wu, committed suicide by giving Wu Zixu a sword. Wu Zixu also left his last words to his master before he died: "Choose Wudongmen (Tongdiao) in Wuyan County to watch Wu Ye's invasion." (Historical Records &; #8226; Biography of Wu Zixu)

In this matter, Wu Zixu's approach is also very wrong. If he really appreciates the kindness of He Lv, the king of Wu, he should wholeheartedly assist his son and live and die with Fu Cha. How many righteous people in history have achieved fame in this way. But Wu Zixu wasn't. He sent his son to Qi. In this way, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, can only kill him ―― the last thing an emperor can tolerate is betraying him. Later, after Wu Zixu's death, he had to build his grave in catalpa (the place where the Vietnamese army attacked Wu), and hung his eyes on the east gate of Wu's capital to see Wu's retreat. It was too much. At this point, he has completely forgotten Wu's gratitude to him, and he looks like an abandoned dissatisfied housewife. Bigan gave up his heart, but never cursed the collapse of the Shang dynasty; Yue Fei bowed down in the rain pavilion, but his heart for serving the country did not diminish. The villain Eber told the prince of Wu that Wu Zixu was an "expert", which was true. Wu Zixu took himself too seriously and didn't realize that he was just a courtier, and the first essence of courtiers was what Yue Fei called "loyalty to the country". Wu Zixu's outspoken advice showed his loyalty, but in the end he turned to resentment because of his victimization, but it showed his disloyalty. Should we sympathize with his loyalty, bear or resent his victimization?
