Chapter 558: Fei Wuji Divides Chao Wu (1)

During the reign of King Chu Ling, the Chu army captured Zhu Fang, destroyed Chen and Cai, and then moved the aborigines of Xu, Shen, Hu and other places, and replaced them with Chu people, and finally attacked Xu in a big way.

Every action made by King Chu Ling was stirring the nerves of the people of Wu State, but fortunately, that warmonger was overthrown by Abandonment before he destroyed Xu, otherwise I don't know what kind of crazy thing he could do.

Although King Chuping has always established himself as a monarch who advocates peace, the people of Wu do not think so. From another point of view, Wu Guoren felt that it had nothing to do with him whether Yao Shun or Ji Xuan was sitting in the palace of the King of Chu; The people of Wu will not change their strategy because Chu adjusts its foreign strategy.

Yi Mo decided to do something while the new king was on the throne and the situation was unstable. After research, he ordered an attack on the state in the winter of that year.

At that time, the state came to govern Fengcheng, Huainan and other places in Anhui. If Zheng is the battleground of Jin and Chu, then Zhoulai is the battleground of Wu and Chu.

Wu and Chu fought for the state many times in history; As early as the seventh year of Lu Chenggong (the year when Jin established diplomatic relations with Wu), the Wu army occupied the state. However, at that time, because the state of Wu was still very weak, it did not have the strength to annex the state, so it had to withdraw after forcing the state to sign an alliance in the city. The people from the state soon tore up the covenant and turned to the state of Chu. The Wu army attacked the state several times, but all of them returned in vain due to the intervention of the Chu state. In the fourth year of Lu Zhaogong, King Chu Ling sent Ran Dan to help the people from the state to strengthen the city wall to resist the attack of the Wu army.

Yi Mo personally led the army to the battle, and the people from the state immediately asked for help from the people of Chu when they heard the news. Although King Chu Ling had committed suicide at that time, because Shen Hai had concealed the news, King Chu Ping was still in a state of anxiety. He didn't dare to leave the capital for a moment, nor did he dare to go to the rescue, lest King Chu Ling take advantage of the chaos to regain the throne.

Seeing that King Chuping did not dare to send out his army, the people of Wu let go of their hands and feet, concentrated the strength of the whole country to attack the state, and captured the capital in less than half a month, destroying this small country that lasted only 500 years.

Ling Yin Ziqi suggested: "The Wu army is gathered in the state, and the border towns must be empty; Please give me an army, and I will get two great cities for the state of Chu. ”

King Chuping rejected him with several high-sounding reasons and an unquestionable tone: "Bugu has not pacified the people, has not worshiped ghosts and gods, has not perfected the garrison, and has not stabilized the country; If we use the people's power now, we will regret it once we fail. The state came far away from the state of Wu and bordered Chu, and the state of Chu had the opportunity to destroy the state to come, but there was no reason to destroy it. Wu Guoren actually did what we wanted to do but couldn't do for us. The state is in Wu as in Chu, and the master waits patiently. ”

As a result, Ziqi was executed without seeing the day when the state came to "recover".

King Chuping issued a series of policies to relieve the people and maintain their health, but he never forgot to train the troops.

In the fifteenth year of Lu Zhaogong, Fei Wuji, the number one traitor in the history of Chu State, came to prominence, and he expelled Chaowu with a small attempt.

Fei Wuji was the same age as King Chuping, and when he was a child, his father sent him to the palace to accompany the prince to study. The two have been friends since childhood, and they have become close friends when they grow up.

Fei Wuji is handsome and talented, and he is deeply favored by King Chu Ling. After Qi Ji was appointed as the Duke of Cai, Fei Wuji believed that the essence of this order was "distribution", and thus became dissatisfied with King Chu Ling. At a palace banquet, he took the opportunity of getting drunk and made an obscure obscene poem to attack King Chu Ling.

Alcohol paralyzed the IQ of King Chu Ling, he didn't think much about it at the time, he smiled and leaned back, and praised the poem; When I woke up the next day, I realized that I had suffered a dumb loss. He looked around for an opportunity to take revenge on Fei Wuji.

After Fei Wuji sobered up, he was also annoyed by his impulsive inwisdom, and finally ruined his future for this: he did not dare to continue to stay in the capital, so he had to resign from his official position, hand over his fief, and run to the prince to become a retainer (so to speak, if the prince did not seize the throne in the end, Fei Wuji would not have turned over in his life).

However, Fei Wuji privately declared to Qi Ji that he had "deliberately angered" the tyrant in order to avenge the grievances of the people of Chu State; If it were possible, he would be a devastate for the overthrow of tyrants.

Qi Ji was silent on the surface, but in his heart he was "willingly" to give up his glory and wealth to join his "righteous deeds"; However, he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of King Chu Ling, so he only gave Fei Wuji a lower position.

Fei Wuji's IQ and EQ are very outstanding; He was well-informed, analytical, and readable, and these strengths and strengths made him very good at doing bad things.

After King Chu Ling usurped the throne, the prophecy of "Dangbi" began to spread all over the sky again; Although there are various interpretations inside and outside the government and the opposition, there is a consensus that "abandoning the disease will eventually seize the throne."

King Chu Ling and Qi Ji were very troubled, King Chu Ling had a deep affection for Qi Ji, and if he didn't abandon Ji to remain neutral, he would not be able to have today's status; And now he has to treat Qi Ji as a potential usurper (sending him to Cai County also has a reason to curb his actions).

The time had come to highlight the value of Fei Wuji's existence, and he devised a dangerous but highly dangerous plan for abandoning the disease to regain the trust of King Chu Ling. So he took the opportunity to return to the capital to report on his work, and met King Chu Ling in private, saying: "Some people use the prophecy of 'Dangbi' as the basis for falsely claiming that I want to usurp the throne; those are all nonsense, and they are all rumors created by people with ulterior motives to divide the relationship between kings and ministers and brothers.

"The purpose of the ancestor Gongwang to design the wall ceremony was to establish the successor, not to know who could become the king of Chu. As a result, people with ulterior motives ignore this purpose and fabricate rumors indiscriminately, lest the royal family is not chaotic, and their hearts can be punished ten thousand times! Besides, the first king did not accept the result, so he passed on the throne to King Kang - otherwise he would have passed the throne to me. Why didn't the king obey the wishes of his predecessors and believe the rumors?

"If the king does not trust me, he can kill me now or kill himself by his ministers; If I am skeptical, I can leave the inner son and the prince with the king to dispel the king's doubts. ”

This offensive and defensive scheme was a great success: King Chu Ling could not help but burst into tears, he embraced the abandonment with affection, ordered him to continue as the Duke of Cai, and ordered him to send his family back to the capital.

The young prince (later Prince Jian) and his mother became hostages at the hands of the tyrant. Before the army, he sent someone to find Cai Wei secretly, and Cai Wei accepted the secret order to abandon the disease, so he secretly sent the mother and son out of Yingdu. The mother and son had to endure many ups and downs on the way to escape, and they had to endure not only the hunt and pursuit of the prince and the robbery of robbers, but also the painful cold and hunger, and the clothes and food that well-wishers gave them to survive. A few years later, Prince Jian finally learned the inside story, and he couldn't help but hate Fei Wuji to the core.

Later, when Man Chengran handed over the letter from the rebellious five doctors' envoys to Qi Ji, Fei Wuji helped Qi Ji quickly devise a plan to seize power.

At that time, there was a rumor in the market, saying: "Abandoning the disease is extremely expensive, and the martial arts are mang; With these two people here, the seizure of the throne is just around the corner. ”

Fei Wuji gave up his illness and took the throne, and was appointed Dazai after the fact.

During the time when Fei Wuji lived in Cai County, he became friends with some people and became enemies with others; And he and Chao Wu are also enemies and friends, and the relationship is the most complicated.
