Zhuan Zhu was a native of Tangyi in the State of Wu.
When Wu Zixu fled Chu and came to Wu, he recognized Zhuan Zhu's ability.
After meeting King Liao of Wu, Wu Zixu explained the advantages of attacking Chu.
Prince Guang of Wu said, “Wu Zixu's father and brothers all died in Chu, yet he urges us to attack it. He only wants to avenge his private grudge, not to serve Wu.”
So the king put the matter on hold.
Wu Zixu realized that Prince Guang intended to kill King Liao, and said, “Prince Guang has plans of his own. I should not discuss matters of state with him.”
He then introduced Zhuan Zhu to Prince Guang.
Theme:
Will he leave his name in history? Maybe. After all, he stayed. I don't agree with just saying "people in ancient times had good reputations", people today have better reputations. Aren't there people clamoring that if they can't be famous for eternity, they will be infamous for eternity? I haven't read the historical records thoroughly, so I'm a little doubtful whether Zhuanzhu really went for that name. Does Zhuan Zhu regret it? I don't think so. The ancients said that "a favor should be repaid with a spring of water". It is noble. What is difficult to understand may be that the "favor of knowing someone" has made many generals, ministers and heroes willing to be other people's wedding dresses. Think about it, it may make sense: if a person can turn you from a soldier to a marshal, then he is really the person you can't help but repay. . Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, you must do something for him. However, how many people can realize their dream from being a soldier to a marshal? Those who achieve it will naturally be praised by future generations. Those who cannot achieve it will be left unattended. This article is enough to commemorate it...
The author neglected to mention that ancient people had good reputations. If Zhuan Zhu did not assassinate Wu Liao, he would be nothing more than an unknown person. This man was not good at strategy or force. What left his name in history was just the word "brave" (the so-called death squad in modern times). Such a person, if he does not donate his blood to the palace conspiracy, can only end up in the countryside. Perhaps according to the author's values, the latter is better than the former. However, depending on Zhuan Zhu's meaning, perhaps the former is better than the latter. Therefore, he is willing to marry others and seek a name in history, so the author does not need to feel heartbroken.
