Summary of the story of Wu Qi killing his wife and getting famous
Wu Qi was a native of Wei during the Warring States Period. In his early years, he served as an official in the State of Lu and married a woman from the State of Qi. One year, the state of Qi invaded the state of Lu in a large scale. The state of Lu was in decline, but Wu Qi had already shown his superiority in military affairs. In times of war, the people of Lu wanted to use Wu Qi as their general. However, because Wu Qi's wife was from Qi, some people expressed their concerns to the monarch of Lu. Wu Qi heard about this and killed his wife without saying a word. Wu Qi became the general of Lu as he wished, and led the Lu army to defeat the Qi army.
Wu Qi's "righteous act" of killing his wife to seek generals not only failed to arouse people's respect for him, but instead attracted more criticism. Someone else told the king of Lu that Wu Qi had studied with the great master Zeng Shen. When Wu's mother passed away, Wu Qi refused to attend the funeral, which aroused Zeng Shen's strong dissatisfaction. Zeng Shen believed that Wu Qi was an immoral person. Now, Wu Qi actually killed his own wife for the sake of becoming a general. It was inhumane and resembled an act of an animal. This kind of person will do anything to achieve his own goals, which is really creepy. It is difficult for a person who doesn't even want his mother or wife to be loyal to others. This kind of person absolutely cannot be trusted. When Wu Qi heard that someone was speaking ill of him in front of the king of Lu, he panicked and went to Wei Wenhou, the "lord of the Ming Dynasty" at that time.
Wu Qi once sucked the pus from an injured soldier with his mouth, which greatly moved the soldiers around him. But when the soldier's mother heard about it, she burst into tears. The old lady said that the child's father also served as a soldier with Wu Qi, and Wu Qi also sucked pus for him. As a result, he never looked back on the battlefield until he died. Now that my child has met General Wu again, I really don't know what his outcome will be. General Wu's "righteous deed" turned out to contain such "malicious intentions".
Wu Qi made outstanding achievements in the Wei State. However, when the Wei State selected the prime minister, they did not choose him, but chose a man named Tian Wen. This made Wu Qi very dissatisfied. Wu Qi competed with Tian Wen and listed his many advantages, such as being invincible in battle, powerful and powerful among all officials, etc. However, Tian Wen's words left Wu Qi speechless. The general idea of Tian Wen's words is that although you have many advantages, can your virtue convince the public?
Wu Qi was in the Warring States Period. At that time, in order to survive, the princes used the crowing of cocks, dogs and thieves. It is not difficult to understand that Wu Qi can gain power. Today, there are quite a few "Wu Qi people" around us. For example, some people use their wives as "meat bombs" to their superiors in order to get promoted. Once such a person gains power, the consequences are unimaginable. Also, some people are good at showing small favors and using relatively small efforts in exchange for the "return" of others' affection. Once they fail to succeed, they will become angry and try their best to retaliate. etc. When we see such a person, think about Wu Qi’s story, and think about it carefully, we all understand in our hearts.
