Zixu Changqing

Chapter 29

Talk about the past of Wu Zixu and Shen Baoxu

Wu Zixu said, what does it mean to fulfill my son's ambition? This started a long time ago.

Wu Zixu had known Shen Baoxu since he could not remember anything. The two families were close to each other. They were of similar family status. I made a pair of good friends and play together every day.

Later, when they grew up, their relationship was still as good as ever. When the two of them agreed, they simply swore to each other and became sworn brothers.Shen Baoxu is older and is an older brother, and Wu Zixu is younger and is a younger brother.Although these sworn brothers are not related by blood, they are the same as the three heroes of Qi, they want to support each other, share joys and sorrows, live and die together.

However, something happened suddenly at Wu Zixu's family.

Wu Zixu's father, Wu She, is the Duke and Prince Taifu. He has a good character and is very respected and loved by Prince Jian.Fei Wuji, another master of Prince Jian, was jealous. It happened that Chu Ping Wang Xiongju wanted to marry Princess Qin for Prince Jian, so Fei Wuji volunteered to go.

Xiong Ju is lustful, the princess of Qin is beautiful, Fei Wuji sent the princess to the palace.Seeing this, Xiong Ju was reluctant to part with him. On Fei Wuji's suggestion, he took the princess of Qin and gave the princess's maid to Prince Jian as his wife.

Since then, Fei Wuji has won the favor of Xiong Ju, and knowing that he has offended Prince Jian, he always slanders Prince Jian in front of Xiong Ju.

Xiong Ju also had a grievance in his heart, and in the name of training, he dispatched Prince Jianfa to the border, and asked Wu She to go together to help Prince Jian.

A year later, Princess Qin gave birth to a son named Xiong Zhen.

Xiong Ju and Prince Jian have not communicated for a long time, and the relationship is getting worse and worse.

Later, Fei Wuji slandered that Prince Jian wanted to rebel, and Xiong Ju became murderous. Fei Wuji said that Wu She is the prince's tutor and has a close relationship with the prince. He must be able to tell the evidence of the prince's treason.

Unexpected disaster came to Wu's house like this.

Wu She was recalled from the frontier, faced with scolding, pointed at Fei Wuji and said, "Your Majesty has lost his flesh and blood because of his slander!"

Xiong Ju was furious and wanted to kill Wu She, Fei Wuji said: "Wu She has two sons, one son Wu Shang and the other Wu Yuan, both of them are outstanding men. If the two sons go away to another country, it will be a serious disaster. It is better to detain Wu She first. , and then recall the two of them back to the palace, so as to avoid future troubles."

Xiong Ju acted according to plan, the king's envoy came to the border, Wu Shang asked Wu Zixu to escape with Long Yuan, and went to the palace to reunite with his father.

On the way to escape, Wu Zixu heard the news that his father and brother had been killed, and then he met Shen Baoxu.

At that time, Wu Zixu was traveling day and night, until at dawn, he saw a group of chariots and horses in the distance, and hid in the grass. When the chariots and horses approached, Wu Zixu recognized that it was the team of envoys from the Jin Kingdom, and it was from the Shen family. Chariots!

Looking at the guard of honor, Wu Zixu seemed to be looking at his previous life. When the horses and chariots approached him, he stood up from the grass.The entourage was shocked, Shen Baoxu jumped out of the carriage and rushed over: "Zixu!"

Shen Baoxu hugged him vigorously, not disliking the dirt on his body for staining his brocade clothes: "Zixu, are you okay?"

Wu Zixu remained silent, Shen Baoxu ordered his followers: "You are not allowed to follow! I will talk to my brother!"

When there was no one there, Wu Zixu leaned against Shen Baoxu and sat down to rest. Shen Baoxu said in a low voice, "Zixu, I heard the news that your father and brother were murdered."

Wu Zixu: "Yes."

"Zixu." Shen Baoxu murmured, except for these two words, he couldn't say anything else.

After resting enough, Wu Zixu stood up, and Shen Baoxu looked at his sworn brother: "Zixu, what are you going to do in the future?"

Wu Zixu said in a low voice, "If I don't avenge this revenge, I will be in vain. In the future, I will perish Chu Sheji and personally kill Xiongju."

Shen Baoxu was silent for a moment: "Decided?"

"Ah."

Shen Baoxu let out a long breath, patted Wu Zixu's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Mianzhi! If you can overthrow Chu in the future, then I will be able to comfort Chu."

"Okay!" Wu Zixu laughed, then lost his expression again: "Brother, let's say goodbye from now on and cherish yourself!"

"You are precious too!"

The two bid farewell to each other, and after that, they each pursued their own ambitions and went their separate ways.Never see you again.

Note:

Why is Wu Zixu's enemy Xiong Zhen, but Wu Zixu's oath is to destroy Chu State?

Because in the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarchs were equal to the vassal states, and the vassal states could not be distinguished from the vassal states, and the "righteousness of the monarch and the ministers" was relatively indifferent, and it was very common for the monarchs and ministers to see each other. Wuchen, Miao Benhuang and others took revenge on Chu State due to personal grievances.
