King Shoumeng of Wu's third son, Yu Mei, died soon after he became King of Wu. Before his death, Yu Mei specifically stated that he wanted Jizha to succeed him to the throne, but Jizha firmly disagreed, so he hid himself.

However, a country cannot be without a king for a day. On the premise that the designated successor to the throne does not accept the throne, the people of Wu have to elect a new king. The people of Wu believe that since the last king of Wu is Yu Mei, then let Yu Mei

His son Liao inherited the throne. However, this aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhuanzhu's son Gongzi Helu. Gongzi Helu believed that the reason why the previous kings of Wu did not pass the throne to their sons but passed it down among their brothers was because of Jizha.

.If it is according to the wishes of the late king, the throne of Wu should be passed to Jizha; if it is not according to the wishes of the former king, then the throne of Wu should be passed to himself, and it will never be Liao's turn to be the king! Therefore, the prince Helu

He was always dissatisfied with Liao being the king of Wu and secretly wanted to kill King Liao of Wu.

At this time, Wu Zixu, a senior official of Chu State, came to Wu State for refuge and encouraged King Wu to attack Chu, claiming that there would be many benefits. Prince Helu said: "Wu Zixu's father and brother both died at the hands of King Chu. Now he wants to attack Chu."

Chu was just seeking personal revenge, and it was of no benefit to the state of Wu." Therefore, King Liao of Wu did not adopt Wu Zixu's opinion. Later, Wu Zixu realized that the young master Helu had a different intention towards King Liao of Wu and wanted to kill King Liao of Wu, so Wu Zixu gave him the favor.

Lu recommended a warrior named Zhuan Zhu. He Lu was very happy after meeting Zhuan Zhu, and from then on he treated Wu Zixu as an honored guest.

In the winter of 515 BC, King Ping of Chu died. In the spring of the next year, Wu took advantage of Chu's national mourning and sent troops to attack Chu. King Liao of Wu sent his two younger brothers, Gongzi Gaiyu and Zhu Yong, to attack Chu.

At the same time, Ji Zha was sent as an envoy to the Jin State to observe the reaction of the princes. However, the Chu State seemed to be well prepared for Wu's troops. The Wu Army was ambushed by the Chu Army and was besieged, cutting off its retreat.

.

Prince Helu believed that this was a God-given opportunity. At this time, King Wu's trusted generals were all out on an expedition, and there were no upright and outspoken loyal ministers in the country, so it was a good time for an assassination. Prince Helu then said to Zhuan Zhu: "This

This great opportunity must not be missed. According to the patriarchal system, I am the true successor of the king. Now that I have killed Liao and succeeded to the throne, it is a done deal. Even if Jizha comes back, there will be nothing he can do." Zhuanzhu replied: "Liao's mother was Nian.

The matter is advanced, my son is still young, his two brothers are also leading troops in the Chu Kingdom and cannot come back, and there is no one in the country who is willing to sacrifice their lives for him. Killing him at this time will definitely succeed! I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Prince Helu finally said to Zhuanzhu: "My destiny is entrusted to you."

So, one day in April of this year, after the prince Helu ambushed the armored warriors in the basement of his home, he prepared a banquet and invited King Wu to come to his home for a drink. King Wu was also wary, and there were many people on the road from the palace to Helu's home.

It was surrounded by personal guards, and even the banquet seats were guarded by guards with swords. When everyone was drinking heavily at the banquet, Prince Helu pretended to have a foot disease, and then hid in the basement. At this time,

At the same time, Zhuanzhu hid the dagger in the belly of the grilled fish, and then offered the grilled fish to King Wu. Zhuanzhu presented the grilled fish to King Wu, and when he slowly opened the belly of the fish, he suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed King Liao of Wu.

.Zhuan Zhu successfully assassinated Wu Wang Liao. However, Zhuan Zhu could not escape and was killed by Wu Wang Liao's guards.

After King Liao of Wu was killed, the prince Helu successfully seized the throne and became King Helu of Wu. After King Helu of Wu came to the throne, in order to commend Zhuan Zhu for his contribution, he named Zhuan Zhu's son Shangqing. At the same time, Wu

Wang Helu also sealed up the dagger known as the Fish Intestine Sword used by Zhuan Zhu to assassinate Wang Liao and never used it again. Soon after, Ji Zha returned to his country. As Helu expected, Ji Zha had no intention of seizing the throne.

Ambition, but in the face of such changes in world affairs, Jizha just let nature take its course, resigned to fate, and recognized Helu's status as king.

After hearing about the coup in Wu State, Chu State withdrew its troops. At this time, turmoil also occurred in Chu State.

Therefore, after the Chu troops retreated, Prince Gaiyu, the younger brother of King Liao of Wu, who was leading the troops, fled to Xu State, a vassal state of Chu State, while Prince Zhu Yong fled to our country.

Helu finally became the king of Wu as he wished, and then he began to use Wu Zixu. Under the auspices of Helu, the state of Wu developed rapidly and became one of the important vassal states in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Zhuanzhu was one of the architects of King Liao's assassination.

Wu Zixu finally achieved an important political position in the State of Wu and gradually became an important adviser to King Helu of Wu. Later, Wu Zixu recommended the famous military strategist Sun Wu to King Helu of Wu at that time, and King Helu of Wu worshiped Sun Wu as his advisor.

General Wu, and this was the beginning of Wu's hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After Zhuan Zhu succeeded in assassinating King Liao of Wu, Helu successfully became King of Wu. However, Helu still had a lot of worries after becoming King of Wu, because Liao had a son named Qingji, who was worthy of being the king of Wu.

Yong, after the assassination of his comrade, fled to the neighboring country of Wei. Qingji recruited troops and horses in Ai City of Wei, and called on the surrounding princes to avenge his father, becoming Helu's confidant.

In the second year of Wu King Helu's reign, he wanted to kill Qingji, but he was worried that Qingji would be attacked by the princes in neighboring countries, so he didn't know how to deal with it. So Helu asked Wu Zixu: "Were you the one who assassinated Qingji?"

I have made a great contribution to the cause. Now I heard that Liao's son Qingji is uniting with the princes to attack me. What do you think I should do?" Wu Zixu replied: "I am loyal to the master. I secretly planned the assassination with the king, and now I have

Preparing to attack his son would go against God's will."

Helu then said: "When King Wu conquered Zhou, he killed King Zhou first, and then killed his son Wu Geng after he conquered the world, but no one blamed King Wu. We killed Qingji just to protect ourselves, how could there be any God's will

!" Wu Zixu said: "I am serving you so that Wu can achieve hegemony in the future. What is there to be afraid of? I have a close relationship with an assassin, so he should be able to accomplish this."

After Wu Wang Helu heard this, he couldn't help but said worriedly: "Qing Ji is so powerful that he can defeat ten thousand people. Can this assassin really succeed in assassinating him?" Wu Zixu said: "This assassin's strategy can also defeat an enemy."

Ten thousand people." After hearing this, King Helu of Wu asked eagerly: "Who is this person?" Wu Zixu said, "I just want to leave. I once saw him humiliating the strong man Jiao Qiuxin." King Helu of Wu was curious.

Wu Zixu asked: "How can you humiliate Jiao Qiuxin?" Then Wu Zixu told the whole story.

Jiao Qiuxin was from Donghai and was sent to Wu as an envoy from Qi. When passing by the Huaijin ferry, he led his horse to the ferry to drink water. However, a monster in the water swallowed his horse, and he jumped in in anger.

In the river, he fought with the monster for three days and three nights. In the end, Jiao Qiuxin lost one of his eyes and became famous. After arriving in the country of Wu, he happened to meet a friend who was mourning, so he went there

At the funeral, he spoke rudely, scornfully and rudely to the scholar-bureaucrats of Wu State, and boasted about his arrogance in fighting water monsters.

Yao Li really couldn't stand his behavior, so he said sternly: "I heard that when a real warrior fights, he fights with the sun without changing his appearance, fights with gods without hesitation, and fights with people without making a sound.

You died without being humiliated. You fought with the water god in the water. Not only did you not recover the life of the horse, but you also lost an eye. You paid the price of physical disability in exchange for the name of bravery. This is something that a true warrior is deeply ashamed of.

You are greedy for life and afraid of death. If you don't die in the battle, how can you be so proud and arrogant to me?"

Jiao Qiuxin was left speechless, ashamed and angry. After Yao Li returned home, he knew that Jiao Qiuxin would come to take revenge at night. So Yao Li told his wife to open all the doors and windows at night and let him come in and out.

One night, Jiao Qiuxin came to Yao Li's home. Jiao Qiuxin took advantage of the darkness and walked straight to Yao Li's bed, put the sword on Yao Li's neck and said, "You really deserve to die! You shouldn't have done it in front of me."

You should humiliate me in front of everyone. Secondly, you should not have kept your door open at night even though you knew I was coming. Thirdly, you should not have run away when you saw me coming."

Yaoli Ze calmly retorted: "You also have three things you shouldn't do: first, I

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When I humiliated you, you didn't say a word; secondly, you came in quietly and didn't make a sound when you reached the hall. It was obviously a sneak attack, which is not what a warrior should do; thirdly, you threatened me with a sword, but you still did this

Talking without shame shows that you have a guilty conscience and is not a sign of a warrior." After hearing Yao Li's answer, Jiao Qiuxin lamented that there are still such warriors in the world and sighed: "You are the real warrior, if I kill you

, wouldn’t it mean that I would be laughed at by the world? If I didn’t die, I would be laughed at by the world.” So Jiao Qiuxin committed suicide immediately and died in front of his bed.

After King Helu of Wu heard about Yaoli's deeds, he decided to treat Yaoli to a banquet. Wu Zixu then went to Yaoli and said to him: "The King of Wu heard about your noble integrity, so he wanted to make an appointment with you alone." Yaoli then.

Following Wu Zixu, he met King Helu of Wu. When King Helu of Wu saw Yaoli, he asked, "Who are you?" Yaoli replied, "I am from a country thousands of miles east of the country. I am thin and weak. I follow the wind."

However, whatever the king orders, I will do my best." King Helu of Wu was a little dissatisfied with the person recommended by Wu Zixu, so he remained silent for a long time.

Yao Li suddenly said to King Helu of Wu: "Is the king taking Qingji as a cause of trouble? I can kill him." King Helu of Wu said: "Qingji's bravery is rare in the world. His muscles and bones are strong and he can defeat ten thousand people.

Now your strength is not as good as him!" Yaoli further said: "As long as the king wants to kill him, I can kill him." King Wu Helu said again: "Qingji is a smart man, and now he has no choice but to join the army.

He is from other countries, but he is not inferior to the scholar-bureaucrats under the princes. How can you kill him?"

Yaoli replied: "I heard that if you enjoy your family and do not serve the king with all your strength, then you are unfaithful; if you think about the love of your family and do not help the king, then you are unjust. I pretended to be a serious person and fled.

, please kill my wife and cut off my right hand, then Qing Ji will definitely trust me." After hearing the idea of ​​leaving, King Helu of Wu agreed to act according to his plan.

After Yaoli fled the country of Wu, King Helu of Wu followed his plan and killed his wife and burned her body in the market. Yaoli wandered around the vassal states to redress his grievances, and was considered innocent by the world. Yaoli later arrived.

Wei Guo asked to see Qingji. After seeing Qingji, Yaoli said angrily: "Helu is stupid and ignorant, and you know it, prince. Now, without any charges, he killed my wife and burned her to death."

The corpse is in the market. I am familiar with the situation of Wu State, and with the bravery of the prince, Helu can be defeated. Why don't the prince join me in the crusade against Wu State?" Qingji believed that Li was about to leave, so he began to select and train soldiers.

, prepare to defeat Wu.

Three months later, Qingji led his troops to attack Wu, and Yao Li went with him. Yao Li and Qing Ji took a boat to cross the river. When the boat reached the river, Yao Li decided to assassinate Qing Ji. Since Yao Li was weak, he

Sitting upwind, he used the force of the wind to stab Qingji. Qingji was not dead for a moment. After he reacted, he grabbed Yaoli, dunked his head into the water three times, and then picked him up and put him on his knees. Qingji was big

He laughed twice and said: "There are really warriors in the world! How dare you come and assassinate me!" Qingji's followers wanted to kill Yaoli, but Qingji stopped him and said: "This is a warrior in the world! How can he do it in one day?

What about killing two warriors in the world?" Qingji also specially told his followers: "Let him return to the Kingdom of Wu in recognition of his loyalty." After that, Qingji died.

After Yao Li arrived at Jiangling by boat, he never left again. His entourage asked: "Why didn't you leave?" Yao Li said: "It is unkind to kill my wife to serve the king; to kill my wife for the sake of the new king is unkind.

It is unjust to kill the son of the old king. How can I face the world now?" So he threw himself into the river. But Yaoli did not die immediately, and was rescued by his followers. Yaoli said:

"How can I not die?" The attendant replied: "You can't die, there is still Juelu waiting for you to receive it!" However, Yaoli took out his sword, cut off his own hands and feet, and died with his sword.

At this point, King Helu of Wu got rid of a major worry, and Yaoli's loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness made him one of the famous assassins in the Spring and Autumn Period.
