What disgraceful thing did Gou Jian, an inspirational representative, do and be called a real villain?

Speaking of Gou Jian, many people are familiar with him because he is a hero. After ten years of hard work, he defeated the King of Wu, who once humiliated him, and became the new overlord. From this perspective, Gou Jian is indeed a positive figure, and it is also worth learning by many people. But some people, after getting to know this character deeply, find the other side of this person from some things he has done, which is unscrupulous. To put it bluntly, he can be said to be a real villain.

Wuyue and China are very close, so we don't know from which generation it has been a life-and-death affair. When Gou Jian was in the last generation, there was also constant war. Later, Gou Jian's father passed away. At that time, the king of Wu thought it was a good opportunity to lead troops to attack Yue. Although his approach is a bit unorthodox, Gou Jian's approach is even more terrible. He let several prisoners go to Wu Jun and committed suicide without saying anything. Then he attacked Wu Jun when he was speechless.

The result of this war can be imagined. Wu Jun was defeated, and the prince of Wu later died of his injuries. At that time, Gou Jian was not very old and had just started politics, but he had already shown his cruelty, and his practice had broken through the moral bottom line as a person. This can also be seen from his appearance. Fan Li, his adviser, once said that he had a long-necked beak, which was not a good appearance at that time.

Gou Jian continued this habit after he tasted the sweetness. One of the most representative events is the seed incident in wuyue and China. Legend has it that Yue borrowed rice seeds from Wu during the famine, and Wu gave Yue enough rice seeds according to the social morality at that time. However, when there was a famine in Wu, Yue provided cooked seeds, which greatly aggravated the suffering of the people of Wu.

This event is similar to what happened between Qin Jin in the early Spring and Autumn Period. It also highlights the different principles of the two countries, especially the two monarchs, through the food incident. It can be seen from this incident that Gou Jian is a bit vicious, and most of the people he hurts are ordinary civilians. However, some people have expressed different views on this and think it is incorrect. Then we can discuss Gou Jian's behavior from some things after the dispute between Wu and Yue.

Ten years later, the war between wuyue actually began with the defeat of Yue. Yue sent beautiful women to the king of Wu and bought the etiquette of the state of Wu. The king of Wu didn't pay much attention to it, or was a little stupid and conceited. Gou Jian has been working hard to make progress, so it is reasonable for Yue to defeat Wu. However, most heroes after the war, such as Fan Li and others, ended badly. In a word, birds are exhausted, bows and arrows are hidden, which also proves Gou Jian's suspicion from the side.

From Gou Jian, we can see an indomitable spirit. It is this spirit that makes Gou Jian win the final victory, and it is this spirit that makes him win the admiration of many people. But from what he has done, we can also see that Gou Jian also has his dark side, which makes some people call him a real villain. In fact, history can be summarized as success or failure, which is the law of history and also a kind of sadness, but everything everyone does has a trace to follow, and the superficial glory can never cover up the inner darkness.
