I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 230 Yes, the story of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony was not finished at that time... (for subscription)
"pretty."

"The 100 million is worth it."

"It's worth it."

Such things as cultural heritage are completely priceless.

Xiangyang is not a tourist attraction, so naturally it is impossible for many people to come.

But at this time, among the stories introduced by Chen Fan, about Zhuge Liang, about Liu Bei, about Huang Yueying... it gave everyone a deeper understanding of Xiangyang.

This is exactly equivalent to a city's business card.

Like the Yellow Crane Tower.

What is the biggest attraction in Wuhan?
Needless to say, that is the Yellow Crane Tower.

Although the Yellow Crane Tower is just a building, there is not much to see.

But he just has nothing to watch, he is a symbol of Wuhan.

Before that, Xiangyang was not well-known, and even many people didn't know it.

but now.

Kongming's former residence, Huang Yueying's hometown, plus Liu Bei's Ma Yuetanxi.

This has made Xiangyang enough to compete in many cities.

of course.

It is incomparable with those super big cities.

But compared with those medium-sized cities, Xiangyang can definitely win.

but.

Chen Fan didn't stop, and continued: "Xiangyang is a cultural and historical treasure. Not only did many stories happen here during the Three Kingdoms period, but at the same time, he was in the Spring and Autumn Period. Many celebrities were also born here."

"Chunqiu, I went to... the history of more than 2000 years ago."

"I don't know if you remember. When I was in Shaoxing, I talked about the Yue State, the last of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons. In fact, before the Yue State, the Wu State was the first to become powerful and aspire to the Central Plains. And the Yue State, only It’s just learning from the state of Wu.”

"Teacher Chen Fan, what does Wu Guo have to do with us?"

At this time.

Someone in the live broadcast room asked.

of course.

This is not only their doubts, but also the citizens of Xiangyang.

The land of Wuyue is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not in Xiangyang, and at most includes some territories in Hubei.

But basically no one would regard Xiangyang as the land of Wu and Yue.

In this regard, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. At that time, the Kingdom of Wu dominated the Central Plains, and he relied on a doctor named Wu Zixu. And Wu Zixu is from Xiangyang."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Xiangyang belonged to the state of Chu, and Wu Zixu was the son of Wu She, a well-known doctor in the state of Chu. But later, Wu Zixu's father was implicated by the prince, and the then King Ping of Chu wanted to kill Wu She. Fei Wuji, a minister next to King Chu In other words, if you kill Wu She, you have to kill his two sons. Otherwise, they will seek revenge from you. King Chu Ping thought it made sense, so he sent someone to summon Wu She's two sons Go to Beijing."

"Received the edict from King Chu Ping, Wu Zixu's elder brother was going to Beijing immediately. But Wu Zixu said, don't go, you will die if you go. But Wu Zixu's elder brother said that if you don't go, your father will die too. How about this, we Go there first, if there is no news of me later, it means that I am dead. At that time, you will escape to other places and accumulate strength to avenge us."

"In the end, when Wu Zixu's elder brother went, he was killed just like his father. Wu Zixu didn't hear from his elder brother, so he knew that the situation was not good, so he fled Chu overnight."

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been more than 2000 years from now.

Many people don't have much impression of the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

However, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a very favorite period for countless people.

So as soon as Chen Fan said it, everyone listened with great interest.

Chen Fan continued: "Although Wu Zixu escaped, the King of Chu still didn't want to let Wu Zixu go, so he sent soldiers and horses to chase Wu Zixu. One day Wu Zixu fled to the bank of the Yangtze River and saw the mighty river. When Wu Zixu was very anxious, he found a small boat coming quickly from the upstream, and the fisherman on the boat kept calling him to get on the boat. After Wu Zixu got on the boat, the boat quickly disappeared into the reed flower pond. The pursuers left angrily.

The fisherman carried Wu Zixu to the shore and brought Wu Zixu a full meal. Wu Zixu thanked him a lot and asked the fisherman for his name. Goodbye, walked a few steps, turned around and turned back when he was worried, and untied the ancestral sword of the third generation from his waist: Qixing Longyuan. He wanted to give this sword worth thousands of gold to the fisherman as a thank you, and asked the fisherman not to reveal it. His whereabouts, Yu Zhangren took the seven-star Longyuan sword, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to Wu Zixu: I rescued you only because you are loyal to the country, and you don’t want to repay it. Now, you still suspect that I am greedy and trustless, so I have no choice but to use this sword. Show nobleness.After finishing speaking, Hengjian killed himself..."

This story can be said to be quite touching.

In fact.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many people of high moral character.

For the sake of loyalty, they don't even want their lives.

They also don't have to die for their own sake.

For example, another assassin, Zhuan Zhu.

"With the help of the fisherman, Wu Zixu finally escaped from the state of Chu and went to the seat of the state of Wu. Because he was very talented, he was soon appreciated by the prince of Wu. When Wu Zixu knew that the prince wanted to sit on the throne At that time, he recommended Zhuan Zhu, an assassin, to Prince Guang. Prince Guang was very kind to Zhuan Zhu and his family. Later, Prince Guang said, I want to kill someone, and this person is King Liao of Wu.

On this day, the Palace of Wu was holding a banquet, and Prince Guang asked Zhuan Zhu to bring a plate of fish to King Liao of Wu, and hid a sword in the belly of the fish.When King Liao of Wu was about to eat the fish, Zhuan Zhu tore open the belly of the fish and stabbed the fish gut sword into King Liao Wu's chest.Zhuan Zhu was also killed by the guards of King Liao of Wu.In the end, Young Master Guang relied on Zhuan Zhu to become the new king of Wu, that is, Helu..."

This story, that is "Zhu Zhu stabs Wang Liao".

Zhuan Zhu was also one of the four favorite assassins of the previous Tai Shigong.

just.

Some people don't understand this story.

"Brother Fan, why did Zhuan Zhu assassinate King Liao of Wu?"

"Because Young Master Guang treats him very well."

"Do you want to risk your life to assassinate Wang Liao if you treat him well?"

"This is of course difficult to understand in our modern times. Just like the fisherman, he could not have died, but he used death to prove his innocence...In their eyes, they feel that sometimes there are things that are more important than life It is more important. It is the same for Zhuan Zhu. Young Master Guang treats Zhuan Zhu well, not only treats him well, but also treats his family well. Just for this one, Zhuan Zhu can sacrifice his life for Young Master Guang."

of course.

And it's not just that.

After a thorough study, it is a more profound loyalty, propriety, wisdom and faith.

This is the same as what modern people call loyalty, propriety, wisdom and faith.

But modern people, that is, us, just regard him as a slogan.

But in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Many people regard him as their lifelong pursuit.

"After Prince Guang killed the King of Wu, he became the King of Wu himself. He began to use Wu Zixu again. With the help of Wu Zixu, the state of Wu defeated the surrounding countries one after another. Moreover, in order to avenge his father and brother, Wu Zixu took Wu Zixu with him. The soldiers defeated the state of Chu. But at that time, King Ping of Chu was already dead. Wu Zixu, who had no means of revenge, asked the soldiers to dig up the tomb of King Ping Chu of Chu, and flogged the body of King Ping Chu of Chu. It took three hundred lashes before he stopped.”

Regarding the allusion of Wu Zixu digging the grave and whipping the corpse, Chen Fan didn't want to make too many comments.

From a moral point of view, many people think it is unnecessary for Wu Zixu to do so.

but.

Many people don't understand, what was it like when all of Wu Zixu's family was killed by King Ping of Chu?
Chen Fan doesn't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.

and so.

Chen Fan just told the story.

As for Wu Zixu's behavior, it's up to them to comment.

"I'll go, dig the grave and flog the corpse... this..."

"I feel a little bit against morality, but I don't know how to evaluate it."

"Me too."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Chen Fan continued: "Soon, because Wu Guo obtained a great talent like Wu Zixu, it only took more than ten years for Wu Guo to achieve hegemony. Moreover, Wu Zixu also helped the crown prince "Fu Chai" win the throne. Won the throne. At this time, the state of Wu also defeated the state of Yue. Gou Jian, the king of the state of Yue, led his whole family to the state of Wu to surrender. Wu Zixu kept persuading Fu Chai to kill Gou Jian. Under the offensive, Goujian was left behind. In the end, Goujian was even sent back to the country of Yue."

"Seeing that Fuchai was getting more and more depraved, Wu Zixu sent his son to the state of Qi. But at this time, the minister of Wu State said that Wu Zixu had surrendered to the enemy. In the end, Fuchai, the king of Wu, gave Wu Zixu a glass of poisoned wine. Looking at the poisoned wine in front of him , Wu Zixu looked up to the sky and sighed, I made your father dominate the princes. Before you were made the prince, several princes were fighting to be the prince. After becoming the crown prince, I wanted to give half of the Wu kingdom to me, but I didn't dare to have such an extravagant hope, but now you actually listened to the slander of the villain and killed the elders..."

"After finishing speaking, Wu Zixu drew his sword and killed himself. He also left a last word, asking his family to dig out his eyes after his death, hang them on the east gate, and watch the Yue army destroy Wu with their own eyes. King Fuchai of Wu heard about it. Very angry, he wrapped Wu Zixu's body in Yiyi leather and threw it in the Qiantang River. But later, after Gou Jian returned to Yue, he continued to strive for strength. A few years later, Gou Jian led his troops to destroy Wu .”

"When his country was destroyed by Gou Jian, Fu Chai burst into tears. He remembered Wu Zixu's last words before committing suicide. Now, he is going to die. Fu Chai was ashamed to see Wu Zixu in the underworld, and then Fu Chai covered himself with a white cloth eyes, chose to commit suicide..."

This is Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although Chen Fan was talking about Wu Zixu.

But through Wu Zixu, a brilliant and brilliant history of the struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period was also laid out.

At the same time.

This is also linked to the Yue Wang Goujian that Chen Fan talked about in Shaoxing.

When the whole story is told.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the charm of the Spring and Autumn Period.

But on the other side.

For the citizens of XY, for the local person in charge of Xiangyang.

Today, when Chen Fan gave a lecture this time, they were already elated.

they know.

Today's lecture has completely promoted Xiangyang's reputation.
