I want to establish an Aristocratic Family.

Summary

Zhang Yue challenges the claims made by Liu Ju and Liu Jin regarding Wu Zi Xu whipping a corpse, asserting that no historical records support this act. He questions scholars Jiang Sheng and Dong Yue, who confirm the absence of such accounts in their texts. Zhang Yue argues that if Wu Zi Xu had committed such an egregious act, it would have provoked widespread outrage among the states of Zhuxia, yet no philosopher has mentioned it. He cites Qu Zi's praise of Wu Zi Xu, questioning how a loyal minister could commend a figure guilty of such a crime. Ultimately, he suggests the possibility of forgery in 'Zuo Zhuan', leaving Liu Ju and Liu Jin in a precarious position as they face overwhelming evidence against their claims.
