In this wonderful audio VIP column, we delve into the story of Wu Zixu's escape to the state of Wu. His journey was full of twists and turns, and despite the difficulties, he was given a major opportunity. Originally a wanted fugitive, he turned out to be the leader of a country and launched a well-planned coup d'état. The rapid change of identity is like a dream.
Wu Zixu was penniless when Wu first arrived and fell into a beggar life. However, his anomaly attracted the attention of a captain of the chengguan team, who was left as a secret**, and quickly introduced Wu Zixu to the king of Wu State. Although Wu Wangyi sympathized with Wu Zixu's plight, he lacked ambition and did not dare to touch the matter of destroying Chu. On the contrary, Gongziguang coveted Wu Zixu and had the ambition to replace the royal bureaucracy.
Wu Zixu had a unique vision and saw Gongziguang's ambitions, so he retired to the countryside and secretly became one of the masterminds behind Gongziguang's coup. Under the cover of the farmer, he became an important member of the coup group, orchestrating a thrilling coup. The assassin who carried out this assassination, Zhuan Zhu, was a man he met in Wu with a strict wife. This courageous Wu Zixu decided that Zhuan Zhu was the real great warrior, so he introduced him to Gongziguang.
In order to successfully assassinate Wu Wang, Zhuan Zhu planned for four years. He knew that King Wu's favorite thing was grilled fish, so he painstakingly studied the art of grilled fish for three years, and finally cooked a delicious and tempting grilled fish. Gongziguang seized the opportunity to set up a banquet for Wu Wang. Attracted by the delicious grilled fish, the king was eventually exploited and successfully assassinated. Gongzi Guang took the opportunity to seize the throne and became the new King of Wu.
This assassination, from preparation to execution, shows its high intelligence and precise planning. At the last moment, Zhuan Zhu took out the ancient divine weapon, the Fish Intestine Sword, and completed this incredible action by himself. This wonderful assassination case not only reveals the legend of the first professional assassin in history, but also an important node in the coup d'état between Wu Zixu and Gongziguang.
