Chapter 17 The first ten years of the third century BC (300-291 BC)

This century is a century of tragic melee. As a result of the annexation of various kingdoms, there are only seven kingdoms left—Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin.Soon, it was completely wiped out by the Qin Kingdom.The Warring States Period is over.Qin became the first and most powerful dynasty in Chinese history.But the civil war broke out again, and the two reckless heroes Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought each other.At the end of this century, Liu Bang's Western Han Dynasty unified China. 1. King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Yingji sent his younger brother Jingyang Lord Yingkui to the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi) as a hostage.

2. The uncle Mi Rong of the Qin Kingdom (the capital Xianyang) aggressively attacked the Chu Kingdom (the capital Yingdu), defeated the Chu army, killed 30,000 people, beheaded the commander of the Chu army Jing Que, and occupied Xiangcheng (Xiangcheng County, Henan Province).Mi Huai, king of Chu (the 21st king of Huai), was terrified and hurriedly sent the prince Mi Heng to the kingdom of Qi as a hostage, begging for reconciliation. (Chu and Qi are against each other, refer to the first 313 years.) 3. The prime minister of the Qin Kingdom, Ying Ji (樗里子), passed away, and Lou Huan, a native of the State of Zhao (capital of Handan), was appointed as the prime minister.

4. Zhao Yong, the king of the state of Zhao (sixth term), loved his youngest son Zhao He very much, and planned to make him the king while he was still in power. 1. On Wushen Day in May (Jiayinshuo in May, there is no Wushen), Zhao Yong, the monarch (sixth term) of Zhao State (the capital of Handan), held a grand ceremony to pass the throne of the monarch to his youngest son Zhao He.After offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, Zhao He personally presided over the first meeting of the government, and appointed Fei Yi as the prime minister (xiangguo) and the king's master.Zhao Yong claimed to be the "master father" (that is, the later emperor. When the king of Zhao State became king, the record is unknown. Let us assume that it began shortly after Zhao Yong's succession). Zhao Yong meant that his son presided over the government and sat in the rear. He led the army to expel the barbarians (Hu people) to the northwest and open up the territory. He planned to attack Xianyang (Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province), the capital of the Qin Kingdom, from Yunzhong (Toketuo County, Inner Mongolia) and Jiuyuan (Baotou City, Inner Mongolia) to the south.So he pretended to be an envoy of the Kingdom of Zhao and went to the Kingdom of Qin to investigate the situation of mountains and rivers on the spot, and personally observed the behavior of King Qin (the third Zhaoxiang King) Yingji.Ying Ji didn't know that the envoy of Zhao Kingdom in front of him was Zhao Yong, but he was only surprised that this envoy was imposing, not like an ordinary official who lived under others, he sent people to arrest him urgently, Zhao Yong had escaped from the border.Pursuing the results of the investigation and discovering the truth, I was shocked.

2. King Qi (the third king of Min) Tiandi, and King Wei (the second king of Xiang) Wei Si held a high-level meeting in Xinzheng, the capital of the Kingdom of Korea (Xinzheng County, Henan Province). 3. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) attacked the Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) and occupied eight cities.King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Yingji wrote a letter to King Chu (the twenty-first king of Huai) Mihuai, saying: "At the beginning, I swore to you to be brothers with different surnames. Shinan) formed an alliance (refer to 304 years ago), your prince Mi Heng came to the Qin Kingdom as a hostage, and the two countries were unanimously rejoicing. However, Mi Heng killed an important senior official of our country and slipped away without apology. I couldn't help but feel angry, so I sent troops to harass your border. Unexpectedly, you sent Mi Heng to the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi) as a hostage to reconcile with the Kingdom of Qi. The lands of your two countries border each other, and the royal families marry each other. There is no one who is closer than us. If our two countries cannot get along well, it will be impossible to order other countries. I suggest that the two of us meet in Wuguan (southeast of Shangnan County, Shaanxi Province) to discuss issues face to face, and then conclude an alliance , what do you think?"

Mi Huai was very willing to attend the meeting in order to resolve the hot war between the two countries, but she was afraid that if she went, she would suffer a loss and be fooled.If he refuses this kind of friendship, he is afraid of provoking the Qin Kingdom to become angry from embarrassment.Prime Minister Zhao Sui objected to the appointment, saying: "There is no need for a meeting. We only need to strengthen the border defense. The Qin Kingdom is a famous country of tigers and wolves. It is ambitious and wants to annex all the countries in the world. Their words cannot be trusted." Mi Huai Milan, the son of the emperor, firmly agreed (Milan married the daughter of the royal family of the Qin Kingdom, and he believed that marriage could be relied on), and Mihuai finally decided to go to the meeting.Yingji had already arranged a trap and ordered a general to pretend to be Yingji and ambush heavy troops in Wuguan (southeast of Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province).As soon as Mi Huai entered Wuguan, the gates of the city were closed immediately, and the ambushes were exhausted. Mi Huai was captured as a prisoner and escorted to Xianyang.Ying Ji sat alone on a high seat in the Zhangtai hall of the imperial palace, held a state banquet, and treated Mi Huai as the king who came to pay tribute. County), Qianzhong County (Yuanling County, Hunan Province).Mi Huai was so angry that he almost fainted. He knew that the Qin Kingdom was a shameless and untrustworthy country, but he didn't know that the Qin Kingdom would be so untrustworthy and shameless that it would openly violate international principles and imprison the king of another powerful kingdom.But he still endured and asked to sign a covenant first, allowing him to return to the country before ceding the land.However, Yingji insisted on ceding the land before signing a covenant to let him return home.Mi Huai, a fatuous old man, lost his temper at this time and refused to give in. He yelled, "Yingji, you actually used such a dirty trick to trick me here, and you are so barbaric!" So the Kingdom of Qin put him under house arrest. In Xianyang.

The Kingdom of Chu was greatly shaken. Senior officials and nobles held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. They agreed: "The king is detained in the Kingdom of Qin, and the crown prince (Mi Heng) is a hostage in the Kingdom of Qi. If the two countries unite , we may no longer be a country." Someone advocated selecting a prince to inherit the throne, and the prime minister Zhao Sui said: "Both the king and the prince (Mi Heng) are in trouble now, and now go against the king's will and support his concubine son , I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.” So he sent envoys to the Kingdom of Qi, claiming that the old king Mi Huai was dead, and asked to send Mi Heng back to the country to inherit the throne.King Qi (the third King Min) Tiandi convened an imperial meeting to discuss the countermeasures. Some people advocated detaining Miheng and exchanging him for the land north of the Huaihe River in the Kingdom of Chu.The Prime Minister (unknown name) said: "This method will not work. Once Yingdu (the capital of Chu and Jiangling County, Hubei Province) establishes a new king, we will only get a naked hostage. "The man said: "Not necessarily, if Yingdu establishes a new king, we can do business with the new king: let us go to the Eastern Kingdom (the area around the Huaihe River), and we will kill Mi Heng, so that he will not fight for it in the future. The throne. If not, we, together with Qin Kingdom and Han Kingdom (capital Xinzheng), support Mi Heng as the successor." Tian Di felt that the benefits of holding hostages were not reliable, so he adopted the prime minister's suggestion and sent Mi Heng back to the country.Mi Heng came to the throne (twenty-second term) as King Qingxiang.

4. King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang), Ying Ji, admired the talents of the prince Tian Wen (Meng Changjun) of the Qi Kingdom, and sent his younger brother Ying Kui to the Qi Kingdom as a hostage in exchange for Tian Wen.After Tian Wen arrived in Xianyang, he was immediately appointed as the prime minister (prime minister). 1. Someone told King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Yingji: "Although Tian Wen is our prime minister, he is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi) after all. Of course he puts the interests of the Kingdom of Qi first, and puts the interests of the Kingdom of Qi first. Putting the interests of the Qin Kingdom on the back burner, the Qin Kingdom will soon be in danger." Yingji thought it was reasonable, so he immediately turned his back on him, changed Lou Huan to be the prime minister, arrested Tian Wen, imprisoned him, and prepared to execute him.Tian Wen sent someone to ask for help from Yingji's most beloved concubine, and the concubine said: "I would like to help, but I hope to get Mr. Tian Wen's white fur fox fur robe." Tian Wen only has a white fur fox fur robe , has already been presented to Yingji, and cannot be ordered.A well-known thief among the guests sneaked into the palace storeroom and stole it to give to the concubine.The favorite concubine made a set of tricks to Ying Ji, and Ying Ji ordered Tian Wen to be released.However, after a while, Yingji thought more and more wrongly, and sent people to hunt him down urgently. Tian Wen had fled to the border checkpoint.According to the regulations of the checkpoint, the cock crows to switch.It was midnight at that time, and the pursuers were approaching, so everyone panicked. Among the guests was a ventriloquist expert who could learn how to crow from a chicken. He crowed loudly, and the chickens in the city responded. There are times when it is not available).

*Wang Anshi said: People believed that Tian Wen was able to gather wise men, and the wise men became attached to him. Moreover, after all, Tian Wen relied on their help to escape from the strong Qin (the capital of Xianyang), which was rumored to be a tiger and wolf.However, in my opinion, Tian Wen is nothing more than the leader of the gangsters, how can he be qualified to gather magi?Otherwise, with the strength of the Qi Kingdom, as long as you get a wise man, you can use the mighty power to subdue the Qin Kingdom.It is precisely because the cock crows and the dog steals "Ji Ji" that the real sages don't come to the door.

2. The Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) sent an envoy to inform the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang), saying: "Thank God, we have a new king." Yingji's most despicable hijacking plot failed, and he became angry and ordered the army to leave Wuguan ( Southeast of Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province), attacked the Kingdom of Chu, killed 50,000 people, and occupied 16 cities. 3. King Zhao (the second king of Huiwen), Zhao He, named his younger brother Zhao Sheng the Lord of Pingyuan.Zhao Sheng likes to make friends with wise men, and there are often thousands of diners.There is a Gongsun Long, who is extremely accomplished in logic. He is respected for his "On Jianbai", "White Horse", and "On Similarities and Differences", and he is also Zhao Sheng's guest. (Gongsun Long belongs to the School of Famous Scholars, which is logic. Western logic is divided into original theory and methodology. Chinese Famous Studies has always been trapped in the whirlpool of sophistry of original theory, and has never been able to establish a method of logic, so it cannot help philosophy. The development of science and the advancement of science. Gongsun Long wrote fourteen chapters of "Gongsun Longzi", and left a deep impression on later generations with "white horses are not horses". Qufu, the capital, went to Zhao Kingdom to debate with Gongsun Long that "slaves have three ears" (there is a saying of "chicken with three legs", which has the same connotation).Gongsun Long repeatedly discussed and analyzed the subtleties.Kong Chuan was speechless and had no choice but to leave.The next day, when I saw Zhao Sheng again, Zhao Sheng said: "Mr. Gongsun's words yesterday are really remarkable, what do you think?" Kong Chuan said: "I admire him too, he can almost make slaves grow three ears. The thing is, it's not actually possible. That's why I'm here to ask you specifically: It takes a hard debate to be sure that a slave has three ears, but it's actually not true. It's easy to be sure that a slave has two ears, But it is true. Which one do you choose? The difficult one, the fake one? Or the easy one, the real one?" Zhao Sheng couldn't answer.On the third day, Zhao Sheng said to Gongsun Long: "You'd better not argue with Kong Chuan. Kong Chuan's reasoning is better than words, and your words are better than reasoning. I'm afraid you will give in eventually."

Zou Yan passed through the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital of Handan), and Zhao Sheng asked him to argue with Gongsun Long that "a white horse is not a horse".Zou Yan declined, and said: "No, because the meaning of the debate is to make the categories clear and not to infringe each other, to make the principles clear and not to confuse each other. To put forward the principle, to show its purpose, so that everyone can understand it at a glance, so as not to get lost. The winning side , without losing his mind. The loser can get the truth he is after. In this case, it is possible to debate. If you only rely on the accumulation of vocabulary such as noun definitions and beautiful abstract theories, you can be aggressive and quote smart For example, changing the direction, leading people to fall into the five-flower formation he preset, and finally forgetting the theme. This has serious damage to the training of formal thinking ability. Once some people speak, their words are sharp, entangled, and entangled all the time He finally shut up when everyone stopped talking. This kind of debate has already caused trouble for gentlemen, and I don't want to participate." Everyone present agreed with Zou Yan's opinion, and Gongsun Long was alienated from then on.

1. Mi Huai, the former king of the Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) (the 21st King Huai), escaped from Xianyang (the capital of Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province). The Qin government found out and ordered the road to the Kingdom of Chu to be blocked.Mi Huai had no choice but to take a detour and defect to Zhao Kingdom (the capital Handan).It just so happened that Zhao Yong, the Supreme Emperor of the Kingdom of Zhao (master father), stayed in Daijun (Yu County, Hebei Province) in the northern border area. King Zhao (the second king of Huiwen) Zhao He was young. Don't dare to make a sudden decision.Mi Huai was unable to move forward, and was about to flee to the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang), but time was running out, and the pursuers arrived and were escorted back to Xianyang (Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province). 2. Ji Lu, the monarch of the state of Lu (the capital of Qufu) (the thirty-fifth Duke Ping), passed away, and his son Ji Jia succeeded to the throne (the thirty-sixth term), as the Duke of Min. 1. Mi Huai fell ill, and soon became seriously ill, and died in Xianyang (Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province).The Kingdom of Qin (the capital Xianyang) sent back his coffin, and the people of the Kingdom of Chu (the capital Yingdu) lined the road to pay homage. All countries reacted strongly to this bullying behavior of the Qin Kingdom. Bo Yang said: There is a Western proverb: "The first time you are cheated, it is the fault of the other party, and the second time you are cheated, it is your fault." Mi Huai is really the world's most pussy, her head is like a paste pot, and she was deceived by Zhang Yi and Ying Ji. Play around and around.Teach him to climb, and he will climb; teach him to jump, and he will jump.This kind of paste can-shaped political leader has historically been filled with countless slaps.Everything that happened to him was his own fault.However, what are the soldiers and civilians who were killed or injured?Their only crime is having a stupid leader.When Mi Huai's coffin returned to the country, the people were overwhelmed with grief. This is the kindness of the people, and they forgot that all the suffering came from him alone.In fact, Mi Gui was controlled by his beloved Zheng Xiu and Jin Shang, and the shark group headed by Zheng Xiu and Jin Shang devoured him day and night.The death of Mi Huai was just a signal to warn the Kingdom of Chu: if it is not remedied, the ship will sink.It's a pity that Mi Huai's death is meaningless, and it can't wake up the people of the country, nor can it eliminate the sharks, because the Chu Kingdom has been corrupted to the point where it has completely lost the ability to reform. 2. Countries reacted again and reorganized the North-South vertical alliance.This year (before 296), the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi), the Kingdom of Han (the capital Xinzheng), the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang), the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital Handan), and the Kingdom of Song (the capital Suiyang), the Allied Forces of the Five Nations attacked The Qin Kingdom, when the army arrived at Yanshi (Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province), it retreated immediately.The Kingdom of Qin returned Wusui (southeast of Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province) to the Kingdom of Han, and returned Fengling (Fenglingdu, Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province) to the Kingdom of Wei, seeking reconciliation. Bo Yang said: Everyone knows that unity is good. However, as long as one person is short-sighted, it can destroy unity.During the Warring States period, the alliance against the Qin Dynasty was the only life-saving elixir for all countries, and the effect was immediate.However, as soon as the Qin Kingdom threw a bone, the unity was shattered.This is the saddest aspect of human beings, and the most exciting aspect for careerists. 3. Zhao Yong, the overlord of the Kingdom of Zhao (master father), patrolled the newly acquired northern land, and inspected the western border of Daijun (Yuxian County, Hebei Province) along the way. Mountain) chiefs (kings) meet to recruit warriors. 4. King Wei (the second king of Xiang) Wei Si passed away, and his son Wei Wei (sound su) succeeded to the throne (the third term) as King Zhao. 5. King Han (second Xiangwang) Han Cang passed away, and his son Han Jiu succeeded (third) as King Li. 1. Sima Cuo, the security officer (Guowei) of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang), attacked Xiangcheng (Xiangcheng County, Henan Province) to which the Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) belonged. 2. Zhao Yong, the overlord (master father) of the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital of Handan), united with the Kingdom of Qi (the capital of Linzi) and the Kingdom of Yan (the capital of Jicheng) to destroy the Kingdom of Zhongshan (the capital of Gucheng) and exile its king to Fushi ( Yulin City, Shaanxi Province).Zhao Yong returned to the capital Handan (Handan City, Hebei Province), rewarded the soldiers and civilians of the whole country, amnesty the world, and the people gathered for five days.
3. Zhao Yong, the supreme emperor of the Zhao Kingdom (master father), granted his eldest son Zhao Zhang to Daijun (Yu County, Hebei Province), named Anyangjun.Zhao Zhang was supposed to inherit the throne, but now he only has one "lord", so he naturally has a grudge.Zhao Zhang has always been extravagant, and Zhao Yong appointed Tian Buli as his secretary-general (phase).Li Dui told Prime Minister Fei Yi: "Zhao Zhang is young and strong, with an arrogant attitude, many followers and great desires. Tian Buli is aggressive by nature, and he is proud and arrogant, and loves to kill. When two people get together, there is bound to be a conspiracy. Little man Once you have big desires, it is impossible to think deeply. All you see are benefits, but you can’t see disasters. Great changes are about to break out. You are the master of the king, and you have a heavy responsibility. Once a big event breaks out, you will bear the brunt and be the first to suffer. Why don't you pretend to be sick, apply for retirement, and transfer the power to Uncle Wang Zhao Cheng? Wouldn't it be nice not to invite trouble!" Fei Yi said: "At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor (Zhao Yong) entrusted the King (Zhao He) to me, Said: "Please don't change your mind, don't change your policy, and be faithful forever until you die of old age." I respectfully accept this order, record it on the bamboo slips, and obey it to the death. Now I can't just forget it just to avoid Tian Buli's troubles. My oath. This is a big event. As the saying goes: "Even if the person entrusted to me is resurrected, I will not be ashamed to face him." , entrusted by others, faithful.) I only ask to fulfill my promise, not to save my life. Thank you very much for your concern for me. But I have my words first, and I will never break my word." Li Dui said: "Okay Come on, please take care, I don't think you can survive this year." Farewell with tears.Li Dui kept calling on Zhao Cheng, asking him to be on guard against Tian's impoliteness. Fei Yi said to Zhao Wang (the second King Huiwen) and Zhao He's attendant Xinqi: "Zhao Zhang is rude to Tian and has a good reputation, but in fact he has been doing evil all the time. Relying on the favor of his father, the emperor (Zhao Yong), There is rampant tyranny outside. Maybe one day, he will claim to be ordered by the Supreme Emperor to launch a coup. I am very worried about this. It is difficult to sleep at night and forget to eat during the day. Violent actions must not be neglected. Starting today, remember my order , If someone claims that when the Supreme Emperor (Zhao Yong) summons the King, he must consult with me first, and not go rashly. I will take a step first, test the truth and confirm that there is no change, and then the King will go." Xinqi promised. When King Zhao (the second king of Huiwen) Zhao He held an imperial meeting, Zhao Yong watched from the sidelines and found that the eldest son Zhao Zhang had a lazy attitude and worshiped the older brother sitting above him.A ray of pity emerged spontaneously.It is planned to divide the Kingdom of Zhao into two, entrust Zhao Zhang to Dai County (Yu County, Hebei Province), and establish the Kingdom of Dai.But it's just a plan, not decided yet. Zhao Yong and Zhao He traveled to the sand dunes (Pingxiang County, Hebei Province and the capital Handan is 80 kilometers away from Northeast Airlines), and lived in two palaces respectively.Zhao Zhang and Tian Buli thought the opportunity was ripe and took action.Fake the order of the Supreme Emperor (Zhao Yong) to summon Zhao He into the palace.The letter period informs Fei Yi, Fei Yi goes first, and Zhong Fu is killed.Xinqi immediately mobilized alert, and the two sides fought bloody.It just so happened that Zhao Cheng and Li Dui led an army from Handan, the capital, and hurriedly recruited nearby troops to join the war, beheaded Zhao Zhang and Tian for being rude, and slaughtered their party members. Zhao Cheng became prime minister, named Anping Jun.Li Dui became Minister of State Security (Si Kou).At this time, Zhao He was still young, and Zhao Cheng and Li Dui completely controlled the government. When Zhao Zhang was defeated, he defected to his father Zhao Yong, who hid him in the palace.The army entered the palace, found Zhao Zhang and executed him.Zhao Cheng and Li Dui were aware of their own danger, and discussed: "In order to arrest Zhao Zhang, we actually surrounded the palace of the Supreme Emperor (Zhao Yong). I'm going to die." They simply didn't do anything, and they didn't stop, and ordered the palace staff: "The first ones will be rewarded, and the last ones will be killed." The palace people dispersed in a flash.Zhao Yong also wanted to leave the palace, but was blocked inside the palace gate.In the vast palace, he was left alone, without a partner, without food, and when he was unbearably hungry, he had to climb to the eaves tree to search for bird eggs or newly hatched chicks to eat.After more than three months of support like this, I ate up everything that could be eaten, and finally starved to death.The government of the Kingdom of Zhao waited until it was confirmed that Zhao Yong was dead before reporting the funeral to all countries. Zhao Yong initially made his eldest son Zhao Zhang the crown prince, and later got Wu Wa (refer to 310 BC), and loved her to the bone. For her, he shut himself up and rarely left the palace, and gave birth to his youngest son Zhao He before deposing Zhao Zhang , Li Zhao He as the prince.When Wu Wa passed away, her love diminished, and she felt sorry for her eldest son's innocence, and planned to make him king as well, but while she was hesitating, turmoil broke out.
Bo Yang said: Zhao Yong is a legendary figure. From his persistence in changing clothes and updating equipment, we can see his strong observation skills and strong willpower.The territory of Kingdom Zhao has doubled in his hands, and so has his fighting power. If he can live another twenty years, Kingdom Qin may be seriously threatened. It is hard to predict how history will develop.However, all heroes love their sons and daughters, and a beautiful Wu Wa made him fascinated, making mistakes again and again.Li Dui and Zhao Cheng were usually respected by Zhao Yong, and they were also loyal to Zhao Yong, but once something happened and their personal interests were involved, they did not hesitate to put the king to death.The political leaders in ancient China seemed to care too much about each other's loyalty, forgetting that loyalty cannot be isolated because it contains too many variables.The situation is approaching, and the loyalty of pigs cannot last long, so in an instant, it transforms into loyalty of wolves.If Zhao Yong didn't mess with the rules, and if Zhao Zhang had more patience, how could Li Dui and Zhao Cheng become regicides? 4. The Kingdom of Qin dismissed Lou Sui as Prime Minister and appointed Uncle Wei Ran as Prime Minister again. 1. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) defeated the border guards of the Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) in Jiecheng (southeast of Linyi County, Shanxi Province). 1. Gongsunxi, the general of the Kingdom of Han (capital Xinzheng), joins the army of the Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) and attacks the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang). Ninth level) Bai Qi replaced Xiang Shou as commander-in-chief, defeated the Han and Wei allied forces in Yique (5 kilometers south of Longmen, Luoyang City, Henan Province), killed 240,000 people, captured Gongsunxi alive, and captured five cities.Yingji made outstanding achievements in the first battle of Baiqi, and he was greatly rewarded, and he was promoted to be a security officer (Guowei). 2. King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Yingji wrote a letter to King Chu (the twenty-second king of Qingxiang) Mi Heng, threatening: "The Kingdom of Chu betrayed the Kingdom of Qin, and the Kingdom of Qin will unite with other countries to launch an attack. So, please Gather the army quickly, and let us fight it out happily." Mi Heng was afraid and worried, so he had to give in, reconcile with the Qin Kingdom, and the royal family resumed intermarriage. 1. Mi Heng, King of Chu (the 22nd Qingxiang King), welcomes the princess of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) as his wife. Sima Guang said: The arrogance of the Qin Kingdom cannot be increased, the murdering father and the kidnapping son.The Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) was also too disappointing, and had the heart to marry his enemy after his father was murdered.If the king of the Chu Kingdom is a suitable candidate, and if the ministers are also a suitable candidate, although the Qin Kingdom is powerful, how dare it bully others so much.Xun Kuang said: "If power is used properly, even a small area with a radius of one hundred miles can be independent, and no one dares to invade it. If it is not used properly, a behemoth like the Kingdom of Chu, which is six thousand miles away, will still be a threat to the enemy. Be a slave." That is the danger of a king who does not make good use of his power, but only seeks appearances. 2. Wei Ran, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Qin, resigned due to illness, and the foreign consultant (Keqing) Zhu Shou, succeeded the Prime Minister (Prime Minister). 1. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) attacked the Kingdom of Han (capital Xinzheng) and fell into Wancheng (Nanyang City, Henan Province). 2. Prime Minister Zhu Shou of the Kingdom of Qin was dismissed, and Wei Ran was re-appointed as prime minister (prime minister), granted the title of marquis, and made Rangcheng (Dengzhou City, Henan Province) and Taocheng (15 kilometers north of Yongji County, Shanxi Province) as fiefs, called Ranghou.The prince Ying Fu was granted to Wancheng (just occupied), and the king's younger brother Ying Kui was granted to Dengyi (Meng County, Henan Province).
