Chapter 11 5. Emotional shaman

About Wu Chen, we don't have much information, we only know that he is the county magistrate of Shen County in Chu State, his family name is Qu's, and his name is Ziling.His name was recorded in the annals of history almost only because of Xia Ji, so except for a mention in "Zuo Zhuan Eleven Years of Xuan Gong", everything will be related to Xia Ji from now on. Wu Chen and Xia Ji had a predestined relationship in previous lives. After Xia Ji was brought to Chu State, King Zhuang and the doctor Zifan (on the side of the prince) stared straight at each other, wanting her, but they were stopped by the shaman.The sorcerer's reasoning to dissuade King Zhuang was: Your Majesty sent troops to Chen Guo, originally he was guilty of a crusade; if he took Xia Ji, he would be greedy for beauty.Is it okay to use petty greed to harm righteousness?

Zhuang Wang had to give up. The sorcerer's dissuading argument was that Xia Ji was "unlucky".Wu Chen said that this woman killed her first man, Ziman, and her second man, Yushu, and killed her third man, Linggong, and implicated her own son Xia Zinan, and ruined the doctor Kong Ning and Father Yi Xing destroyed Chen Guo, whoever gets involved will be in bad luck.Life is short, life-saving is the most important thing!Besides, where there is no fragrant grass in the end of the world, why hang on a tree? Zifan had no choice but to give up. After Zhuang Wang and Zifan abstained, Xia Ji was assigned to Xianglao, and actually became the lover of Xianglao's son.Because eight months later, Old Xiang died in battle.Xia Ji, on the other hand, didn't seem to hesitate for a moment, and went to bed with Xiang Lao's son.No one was surprised by this.Perhaps in the eyes of the public, a stunner like Xia Ji never cared about the consequences.

No one thought that there was actually another article in it. It was only after many years that people discovered that the reason Wuchen tried to dissuade King Zhuang and Zifan was because he wanted Xia Ji, and Xia Ji also seemed to be in love with Wuchen.History books do not record the process of their love, only know that they cooperated tacitly, took advantage of the international political struggle to "save the country", and finally both eloped to Jin. This is quite complicated, and I can only make a long story short. Simply put, Xia Ji was betrothed to Lao Xiang in October of the eleventh year of Duke Xuan of Lu.In June of the following year, the battle between Jin and Chu took place, and the place of the battle was Zheng Guo.During the war, the Jin army shot Lao Xiang to death, captured the prince of Chu State, and brought them back to exchange for his own people who were captured by Chu State.

So Wu Chen felt that the opportunity had come. Wu Chen's method is to greet Xia Ji first: as long as you return to Zheng State, I will marry you.Then someone sent a letter from Zheng Guo to Xia Ji: As long as you return to the country, you can get the body of Xiang Lao.After all, Xia Ji and Elder Xiang are legally married couples.She wanted to return to the country to collect the corpse, and King Zhuang of Chu had to approve it, not to mention that the shaman also did the work.Xia Ji also knew in her heart that the so-called burial was just an excuse.After the matter is completed, it is impossible for Wu Chen to return to Chu State.So Xia Ji threatened: If you don't get my husband's body, you won't go back to Chu.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Ji returned to Zheng State, Wu Chen secretly married her. After marriage, Xia Ji stayed in Zheng State, but Wu Chen did not defect immediately.In fact, he waited until the death of King Zhuang of Chu, and the second year after King Gong of Chu (read Rugong) ascended the throne, before he took action.This time, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to Qi as an envoy.It's just that when he came to Zheng State, he handed over the tasks and gifts to the deputy envoy, and he took Xia Ji away to fly high.They originally wanted to go to Qi.Since Qi had just been defeated, he changed his mind and went to Jin.The couple settled down in the state of Jin, and Wu Chen became a doctor of the state of Jin.

Of course, the body of Lao Xiang and the captured prince of Chu were also returned by the state of Jin.But this was the second year after Wuchen defected (the third year of Lu Chenggong), and it had nothing to do with Wuchen and Xia Ji. Looking back on Xia Ji's life, there are many sex games.She doesn't even care whether the relationship between lovers is monarch and minister (such as Chen Linggong, Kong Ning and Yi Xingfu), or father and son (such as Xianglao and his son).But this time, Xia Ji and Wu Chen were playing for real.There are various indications that they should have fallen in love at first sight, and never met each other too late.For this rare love, they spent seven or eight years from plotting to elope to defecting. 17

As a result of their true love, both Wu Chen and Chu State paid a heavy price.Five years after Wuchen defected (the seventh year of Duke Cheng of Lu), the grand master of Chu State who failed to get Xia Ji killed all Wuchen's clansmen, and Wuchen persuaded Jin and Wu to join forces to attack Chu.He even went to Wu to serve as a military advisor and coach himself, which made Zifan and the others exhausted seven times in a year, and they were beaten to the point of neglecting their heads and tails. Only Xia Ji cultivated to a positive result. After combining with Wu Chen, Xia Ji is happy.The daughter-in-law that the old lady of Jin objected to marrying was their daughter.Although Xia Ji was already in her fifties when she fell in love with Wu Chen, she finally found her true love.In fact, it was originally arranged by heaven that Xia Ji became a beauty.Whether you can meet a person of virtue and righteousness is actually up to you.What she did was to hope to be able to control her own destiny, so she waited and worked hard all her life.It wasn't her fault that she only encountered mediocrity or scum before Wu Chen.

17.Xia Ji was brought to the state of Chu in the eleventh year of Duke Xuan of Lu (598 BC); Lao Xiang died in battle in the State of Zheng in the twelfth year of Duke Xuan of Lu (597 BC); The minister eloped to Jin in the second year of Lu Chenggong (589 BC).
