A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 143 Sun Wu escapes Huai, Cui Zhu kills the king

In the autumn of the 41st year of Duke Xiang of Huaizhuang, Wang Jin passed away.

Posthumous name Zhuang Xiang.Victory over the enemy is called Zhuang; Virtue is dignified and dignified, called Zhuang; respectful and dignified is called Zhuang; dignified and respectful to the people is called Zhuang; opening up land with virtue is called Xiang; meritorious deeds are called Xiang; mighty virtue and obedience are called Xiang.

Duke Xiang of Huaizhuang ascended the throne when he was young, Pingyue State in the south, merged with Nest Xu in the west, retreated from Jin State, saved Song State, Xingxue Palace reigned for 41 years, and Huai State flourished day by day.

Wang Jin passed away, and Prince Wang Qi came to the throne.

After the development of Zhuang Xianggong's era, the Huaiguo Academy has become a world-famous academy, and students from various countries in Bangzhou come to study every year.Because there are too many people coming, the housing prices in Huai'an are getting more expensive.

However, this has no effect on the Huai people. After all, they have a dormitory prepared by the office. As for the students who come to study, it will be a lot sad.Huai country only prepares residences for outstanding talents who have passed the assessment, and more people can only rent houses.

Although Zhuang Xianggong has passed away for several years, his successor Wang Qi did not reduce the supply of Huaiguo Academy.

In the Huai Palace, Wang Qi was flipping through the letter sent by the clerk just now.

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated. The opening chapter points out the importance of military affairs. This man has great talent." Wang Qi said in surprise.

The use of soldiers is broad and profound. Although there are many military books in Huai country, when I read this book, I still feel that it is shocking.

"Which great sage wrote this book?" Wang Qi asked.

"Your Majesty, it was written by a great sage from Qi, named Sun Wu!" The attendant replied.

Wang Qi was taken aback for a moment, and continued: "Qi Guo has such a great talent, so why let him go?"

"If there is such a person, Duke Huan's hegemony in Qi State can only be achieved with the palm of the hand, and even worse. Jin and Chu cannot compete with him. Even if Huai State is in a normal confrontation, it is not his opponent."

"If the Qi State doesn't use this person, it should fall into the quagmire." Wang Qi shook his head and said. "If this person is willing to serve as an official, he is willing to serve as a general!"

Wang Qi is very aware of the role of Sun Wu, like Confucius's kingly way, or Li Er's ten thousand laws of nature, and governing the country by letting nature take its course, almost no princes will use it.These methods are good, but the effect is slow, and no one will use them at all in this day and age.

But Sun Wu's way of strategizing is the way of strengthening the army. As long as Sun Wu's book is known to others, these princes will definitely flock to him and regard him as the general.Thinking of this, Wang Qi couldn't help but said immediately:

"Take Gu to see this great sage." Wang Qi said.

The attendant immediately took Wang Qi to Huaiguo Academy.Soon Wang Qi saw Sun Wu. At this time, Sun Wu looked 30 years old and handsome, but he looked a little downcast.

Wang Qi came to meet him in person, which obviously surprised him.

"Duke Huai came here in person, I'm ashamed of Wu!" Sun Wu looked at Wang Qi in surprise.

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "If you can write this book, you are already a sage in the world, and the way of using soldiers is the number one! Such a sage, you should walk backwards to meet him!"

The two entered the house, and Wang Qi asked about Sun Wu's situation.Sun Wu was originally a native of Qi, but it was a pity that since Duke Qing of Qi, the state of Qi has not been peaceful. Duke Ling of Qi has great ambition and talent, and has repeatedly attacked other countries, but failed repeatedly. Later, he hesitated on the issue of establishing an heir.

As a result, the government of Qi State was in chaos. Sun Wu fled Qi State with his family and went south to Huai State.

Not long after he left, Qi Linggong's son Lu Gou, with the help of Cui Zhu, took advantage of Qi Linggong's serious illness and killed Qi Linggong's favorite son, who was also his younger brother. Qi Linggong vomited blood and died. , and then Lu Gou ascended the throne with the help of Cui Zhu.

It's just that Lu enough has inherited his ancestor's faults, and he likes other people's wives.Cui Zhu was the victim. Cui Zhu's wife was very beautiful. Qi Hou often used the time to go to Cui Zhu's house to have an affair with his wife.This is nothing more than Qi Hou's affair, he also likes to do things about his husband's crimes.

It can be said that the affair between him and Cui Zhu's wife became known to all.And also rewarded Cui Zhu's hat to others.

As long as he is a normal person, he can't bear such humiliation, not to mention Cui Zhu's kindness to him. He was the one who helped Qihou to be the king. I don't know that Empress Cui Zhu didn't regret choosing him back then.

Later, when Marquis of Qi hosted a banquet for Lord Ju, Cui Zhu said that he was sick and would not go, so Marquis Qi took the opportunity of visiting Cui Zhu to have a tryst with his wife again.

Cui Zhu immediately closed the door and led his retainers to kill Qihou.After killing Qihou, Cui Zhu supported Qihou's younger brother as the successor.

Qi State was in turmoil, so many people fled Qi State, and Sun Wu was one of them.

Cui Zhu beheaded the Marquis of Qi and supported the new monarch, which can be said to be the power of the government and the public. Even if he killed the Marquis of Qi, no one dared to speak about his country, but the official historian of Qi State recorded that 'Cui Zhu killed his monarch'.

Cui Zhu was furious when he learned that Taishiling of Qi State had recorded this incident truthfully, and killed Taishiling. As a result, Taishiling's younger brother Taishizhong recorded again that "Cui Zhu killed his king".

Cui Zhu looked at it and became even angrier. Do you think my sword is bad?Immediately kill Tai Shizhong.But Taishi did not give in, and Uncle Taishi stood up again to take over Taishi's order and continued to write "Cui Zhu kills his king".

Cui Zhu was terrified, and killed Uncle Taishi, and killed three Taishilings in a row. Cui Zhu felt that no one dared to write this time. As a result, Taishiling's third brother, Taishiji, stood up again and wrote "Cui Zhu Zhu kills his king'!
At this time, Cui Zhu saw that Taishi Ji dared to write like this, but he had no choice but to say, "Aren't you afraid that all three of your elder brothers are dead? As long as you follow my request and write that Marquis Qi died of a sudden illness." If you die, you don't have to die!"

As a result, Tai Shiji directly refused: "Everyone knows about this matter, even if you kill me, it won't change it. According to the facts, it is the official historian's duty. It is better to die if you neglect your duty to survive."

Cui Zhu had no choice but to let him go. At this time, the Nan Shi family had come from the south with bamboo slips in hand, ready to continue recording "Cui Zhu Killed His King". At this time, Cui Zhu finally felt scared.

The political situation in Qi State was even more chaotic. Sun Wu never thought of serving Qi State with such a faction.

After coming to Huai country, Sun Wu came into contact with a large number of books on the art of war in the academy, and Sun Wu became more proficient in the way of using troops.

If you check its panel at this time, you will find that Sun Wu's military strategy and commander are all full.

Wang Qi and Sun Wu discussed how to use troops. After talking with him in person, Wang Qi became more aware of Sun Wu's abilities. This is simply a natural commander.

If the two sides are facing each other, unless those divine weapons of destiny are used, there will be no chance at all.

"Qing is a great talent, and I am willing to worship you as a general. I don't know if Qing is willing?" Wang Qi cupped his hands and said.
