Chapter 23 3rd century 60s BC (240-231 BC)

1. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) attacked the Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) and occupied Jicheng (Weihui City, Henan Province). 2. The Queen Mother Xia of the Kingdom of Qin (the biological mother of the former king Ying Yiren and the grandmother of the current king Ying Zheng) passed away. General Meng Ao passed away. 1. Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) ceded Yecheng (Nanye Town, Linzhang County, Hebei Province) to Kingdom Zhao (capital Handan). 2. The king (fourth term) of the Han Kingdom (capital Xinzheng) passed away, and his son Han An succeeded to the throne (fifth term).

1. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) attacked the Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) and occupied Yuancheng (Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province) and Puyang (Xi County, Shanxi Province). 2. In summer, in April, the Qin Kingdom was hit by a cold current, the temperature dropped sharply, and some people froze to death. 3. King Qin (sixth term) Yingzheng went to the old capital Yong County (Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province) for vacation and temporary residence. 4. On April 17, when Ying Zheng was 20 years old, he performed the "Crowning Ceremony" (in ancient times, men began to wear hats at the age of 20, indicating that they had grown up), and began to carry swords.

5. Yang Duanhe, the general of the Qin Kingdom, attacked the Wei Kingdom and occupied the Yan family (15 kilometers north of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province). 6. When Yingzheng first came to the throne, she was still young, and the Queen Mother Zhao Ji often had an affair with Wenxinhou Lu Buwei.Yingzheng grew up a little, and Lu Buwei was afraid that the matter would be revealed and the prison would break out, so he had a plan. Among his followers was Lao Ai (sound laoai), who was famous for his huge penis. Cut off the things, served as eunuchs, and sent them to the palace to serve Zhao Ji.Zhao Jifang was very happy, and over time, she gave birth to two sons.Because of his mother, Yingzheng granted Taiyuan (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) to Lai Ai, and appointed him to preside over state affairs. His power was at home and abroad, and he was very popular (this male prostitute was supported by the empress dowager, the king and the prime minister), The snobs took refuge and asked to be his guests.Finally, the fire could not be covered with paper, someone exposed the truth to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng ordered an investigation.Lai Ai did not dare to face it, and decided to launch a mutiny.So he used the imperial seal to mobilize troops to attack Qinian Palace (southeast corner of Yongxian City) in Yongxian County (Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province), where Yingzheng temporarily lived on vacation, in an attempt to capture and kill Yingzheng.Ying Zheng ordered the prime ministers Changpingjun and Changguojun (both noblemen, whose names are unknown) to gather troops to fight in Xianyang (the capital of Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province), and killed hundreds of people.Lao Ai was defeated and fled, but was captured alive by the pursuers.

In autumn and September, the three clans of Lai Ai (father clan, mother clan, and wife clan) were massacred, and the chariot split (that is, the body was divided into five horses, the limbs and the head were tied to the five carriages with ropes, and each of them ran wildly at the command) Wu and his cronies.The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more furious he became. He believed that the severe punishment for massacring the three clans was still too light, and then ordered the arrest of all people surnamed Lao.Among the entourages, there were more than 4,000 families with relatively minor crimes, all of whom were exiled to Shu (Sichuan Province).He also hated his mother for being lewd, so he imprisoned her in Qiaoyang Palace, Yongxian County (southwest of Huxian County, Shaanxi Province. Qiao, sound fu), and killed her two sons.The order said: "When talking with me, anyone who dares to involve the empress dowager will be beheaded immediately, his limbs will be cut off, and heaped outside the palace gate." Thus, twenty-seven people who spoke to persuade were executed on the spot.Mao Jiao, a guest from the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi), asked for an audience, and declared that Yingzheng would change this attitude towards his mother.Yingzheng sent someone to tell him, "Have you seen the corpses outside the palace gate?" Mao Jiao said, "Of course I did, but I heard that there are twenty-eight mansions (twenty-eight constellations) in the sky, and only now have twenty-eight constellations been killed. One, plus me, just enough to make up that number, I am not a person who is afraid of death." The envoy reported.The young fellows who ate at the same table with Mao Jiao heard the news, packed up their bags and fled without a trace.Ying Zheng roared, "What is he that dares to offend me? Get the cauldron ready, I will cook him, and teach him not to lie outside the palace gate." Ying Zheng sat in the high hall, holding the sword in his hand, Foaming at the mouth.Mao Jiao walked up to him slowly, knelt down and kowtowed with the most respectful etiquette, and then stood up, saying: "He who has life does not deny death, and he who has a country does not deny death. A person who denies death cannot increase his age." At the age of ten, people who deny their death cannot continue the survival of the country. Life and death, the wise king will be eager to understand, is the king willing to listen?" Ying Zheng said: "Go on!" Mao Jiao said: "The behavior of the king is very rebellious. , Don’t you know it? Che tore apart the fake father, culled the second brother, exiled the mother, and slaughtered the loyal ministers who made admonitions. Even Si Lugui (Jie) and Zi Shouxin (Zhou) would not be so cruel. All over the world, the centripetal force immediately disintegrated, and no one yearned for the Qin Kingdom. I am worried about the king, and this is all I can say." Immediately, he untied his clothes, fell on the execution platform, and prepared to be tortured.Yingzheng suddenly came to his senses, hurried down to the palace, helped him up with his hands, and said, "Sir, please put on your clothes first, and I accept your advice." He was named a senior state official (Shangqing).Yingzheng drove by himself, leaving a vacant seat on the left (the left is the honored seat, reserved for his mother), and went to Qiaoyang Palace to welcome the Queen Mother Zhao back to Xianyang, and the relationship between mother and child was restored to the past.

Bo Yang said: Yingzheng punished and killed Lao Ai, which did not violate good customs or the law.Lai Ai is nothing more than mother's lover and adulterer, how can she be called a "false father"?Every word Mao Jiao said was driving Ying Zheng to go crazy, but it was incredible that Ying Zheng didn't go crazy.Perhaps Yingzheng was looking for a step down, and Mao Jiao happened to meet it.No matter what, Mao Jiao's remarks did not have the power of persuasion, but only the power of provoking, which actually had a persuasive effect, so that we doubted the authenticity of the story. Assuming it was true, we doubted whether it was due to Ying Zheng's arrangement.

7. Mi Wan, the king of the Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) (the twenty-third king of Kaolie), has no son.Huang Xie was very worried. He searched for beauties who seemed likely to have a son and sent them to the palace, but they still couldn't give birth to a son.Li Yuan, a native of the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital Handan), was about to give his younger sister to Mi Wan. He heard that Mi Wan was infertile, so he dared not act rashly.Therefore, the two brothers and sisters took refuge in Huang Xie and acted as Huang Xie's followers.Soon, Li Yuan asked for leave to go back to visit his relatives in the Kingdom of Zhao, and deliberately took a few days off before returning.Huang Xie asked him why, and Li Yuan said, "The king of Qi (the fifth Ren Tianjian) sent someone to marry my sister, and had a joyful reunion with the envoys, but the return trip was delayed." Huang Xie said, "Have you been hired?" Li Yuan Said: "Not yet." Huang Xie then welcomed Li Yuan's sister into the house as his concubine.Soon, she became pregnant.Li Yuan taught his younger sister to say to Huang Xie: "King Mi Wan of Chu has more trust in you than even his brother. Moreover, you have been prime minister for more than 20 years, but the king has no son. The throne will be his brothers, each with his own cronies, how can you keep rich? Not only that, you have been in the high position for too long, and there must be many disrespectful places for the king's brothers. Once they sit Threat, you are in trouble. Now, I am just pregnant, and no one knows it. If you can present me to the king, the king will take me to bed. October is over, and fortunately a boy is born, and your son will be born. If you become a king, the Kingdom of Chu is yours, which one do you think is better than facing the new king?" Huang Xie was greatly impressed, and sent her back to his brother Li Yuan's house, and then recommended her to Mi Wan.As expected, Mi Wan welcomed her into the palace, and finally gave birth to a boy (Mi Han), who was named the prince.Mothers are more expensive than children, Li Yuan's younger sister also became the queen, and uncle Li Yuan also entered the government.

Li Yuan climbed up to a high branch and no longer needed Huang Xie. At the same time, he was afraid that Huang Xie would leak the secret, so he secretly made friends with desperadoes and prepared to kill people to kill them. The news gradually spread.Soon, Mi Wan fell ill.Zhu Ying asked Huang Xie, "In the world, there are unexpected blessings and unexpected disasters. You are in a changing society and serving a moody king. How can you not have friends who can respond to emergencies?" Huang Xie said: "What? Is it an unexpected blessing?" Zhu Ying said: "You have been the prime minister of the Chu Kingdom for twenty years. You are the prime minister in name, but in fact you are the king. Now, the king is seriously ill and will die at any time. Then you will assist the young master and control the country. Great power. After the king becomes an adult, you will give back the power. If you don’t want to give back the power, you can simply be the king yourself. This is an unexpected blessing.” Huang Xie said: “What is an unexpected disaster?” Zhu Ying said : "Li Yuan is your uncle, but he can't hold power. He has become your enemy. He is not in charge of national defense, but he has been secretly raising warriors for a long time. When the king dies, Li Yuan must be the first to be called into the palace to take power. Then I will attack you, this is an unexpected disaster." Huang Xie said: "What is an emergency friend?" Zhu Ying said: "You sent me to be a palace guard (doctor), the king died, Li Yuandi If one enters the palace, I will kill him, and this is a friend in emergency response." Huang Xie said, "You take the matter too seriously, please don't ask me, Li Yuan is just a lonely man, and I treat you so kindly. How did he evolve to that level?" After Zhu Ying's suggestion was rejected, she knew that a huge change was about to happen, and fled away.

Seventeen days later, Mi Wan passed away, and Li Yuan was indeed the first to be called into the palace. Li Yuan set up an ambush at the palace gate, but Huang Xie went in rashly. In addition, officials were dispatched to hunt down Huang Xie's family members and kill them all.Prince Mi Han succeeded to the throne (twenty-fourth term) as King You. Yang Xiong's "Fayan" said: Someone asked whether Wei Wuji (Lord Xinling), Zhao Sheng (Lord Pingyuan), Tian Wen (Lord Mengchang), and Huang Xie (Lord Chunshen) were beneficial to the country. You cunning, stealing the lifeline of the country, what's the benefit?"

Bo Yang said: Mi Wan, Huang Xie, Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's younger sister, the relationship between the four parties constituted the high-level political stage of the Chu Kingdom.Seizing power with short soldiers, ruthless and unpredictable.Three inches away, there was darkness, and no one knew what was lurking in the darkness?Huang Xie, one of the so-called "Four Princes" in the Warring States Period, his high position was not something his cleverness could bear. This can be proved from the fact that he led the Allied Forces of the Five Nations outside Hangu Pass and was defeated without a confrontation.From the standpoint of social history, Li Yuan's position is very important. He is a standard "fat person". When he wants to flatter you, he even gives you a beautiful sister with both hands. Fascinating obsequiousness, so you can not refuse.But the lightning-fast turnaround and the cruel return made people tremble even more.Before Li Yuan, there was another person who was similar to him, and that was Han Yun, the seventh emperor of the Xia Dynasty.After Li Yuan, there were even more people, until today in the twentieth century, there are people who appear on stage at any time.But the time is different, the way is slightly different.Han Yun and Li Yuan are two of the most exciting sharks, so it's best not to meet them.If you encounter it, you will be entangled, the light one will be covered with bruises, and the severe one will be completely wiped out.

8. King Qin (sixth term) Yingzheng, thinking of Lu Buwei's outstanding contribution in helping his father (Ying Yiren), couldn't bear to kill him. (Lao Ai's incident happened, and after investigating the root cause, of course Lu Buwei was found.) 1. In winter, in October, the king (sixth term) of the Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang) won the government and ordered to remove Lu Buwei from his post as prime minister and repatriate him to his feudal country (Luoyang. Refer to 249 BC).The relatives and senior officials of the Qin Kingdom decided at a meeting: "Foreigners who come to the Qin Kingdom to serve as officials are lobbyists for their motherland and sow discord among us. They should all be deported." So foreigners were hunted down.Li Si, a foreign consultant (Keqing), was also expelled.When he was about to leave, he sent a report to Yingzheng, saying: "Once upon a time, Duke Mu (the ninth king Ying Renhao) summoned talents to find Youyu from the Rong tribe in the west (upstream of the Weishui River). In Wancheng (Nanyang City, Henan Province), he got Bailixi, went to Song State (capital Shangqiu) to welcome Uncle Jian, and went to Jin State (capital Xintian) to welcome Pibao and Gongsunzhi, and finally annexed more than 20 seals. country and dominate Xirong. Xiaogong (the twenty-fifth king Yingquliang) used the Gongsun martingale reform, and the countries belonged to him, and the country has been governed so far. Huiwang (the first king Yingsi) used Zhang Yi's strategy to disintegrate the alliance of the six countries and make them Closer to the Kingdom of Qin. King Zhaoxiang (the third king Yingji) was helped by Fan Ju, which expanded the government's power and reduced his private power. These four kings all used the power of foreigners to accomplish great achievements. Observation from this , what do foreigners fail the Kingdom of Qin? The Kingdom of Qin does not produce female sex, music, and jewelry, and the king collects them and enjoys them one by one. Only for foreigners, it is the opposite, regardless of whether it is good or bad, regardless of right and wrong , Anyone who is not the people of the Qin Kingdom will be expelled. This is to value women, music, and jewelry, but to despise talents. Mount Tai does not hide from dust, so it can grow tall. Rivers and seas do not choose trickles, so they can increase depth. Leaders do not Only by repelling intellectuals can he create his meritorious deeds (the following six sentences of "Taishan", the eternal truth). For this reason, the Three Emperors (Tianhuang, Dihuang, Renhuang), Five Emperors (Ji Xuanyuan, Ji Zhuanxu, Ji Kuang, Yi Qi Fangxun, Yao Chonghua) are invincible in the world (the ancient traditional intellectuals often have three emperors and five emperors, but the three emperors are elusive, and the five emperors are not the case). Now, the king is funding the enemy's country with intellectuals and sending talents to other countries In front of the king, this is tantamount to lending the army to the bandits and giving food to the bandits."

Ying Zheng ordered Li Si to be summoned, his title restored, and the deportation order revoked.Li Si had already walked to Liyi (northeast of Lintong County, Shaanxi Province) before he was sent back.In the end, Yingzheng adopted Li Si's strategy and secretly dispatched spies, carrying gold, silver and jewels, to various countries to lobby and sow discord.Reputable, authoritative, and influential people from all over the world can be bought with huge sums of money; those who refuse to be bought will be sent killers to deal with.Provoke the relationship between the king and officials and the people.After the enemy's internal defense capabilities were completely disintegrated, the army attacked. Within a few years, the Qin Kingdom finally annexed the six countries and unified the world. 1. The Kingdom of Zhao (the capital Handan) attacked the Kingdom of Yan (the capital Jicheng) and occupied Liyang (northeast of Renqiu City, Hebei Province). The battle was not over yet. Yang Duanhe led an army to attack the Kingdom of Zhao, surrounded Yecheng (Nanye Town, Linzhang County, Hebei Province), and occupied nine cities.Wang Jian continued to attack Yanyu (Heshun County, Shanxi Province) and Yuyang (Zuoquan County, Shanxi Province. 轑, sound liao).Huan Jun captured Yecheng and Anyang (Anyang City, Henan Province). Bo Yang said: Among the six countries, this is the last time they will attack each other.Even if Kingdom Zhao has a good reason to launch an attack, if the country's leaders have a little bit of wisdom, they should restrain themselves.National leaders are not underworld petty bums who draw their knives at every turn.
2. The king of the Zhao Kingdom (fourth mourning king) Zhao Yan passed away, and his son Zhao Qian succeeded to the throne (fifth) as King Youmiao (sound miu).Zhao Qian's mother was a prostitute. Zhao Yan loved her so much that he deposed the prince Zhao Jia and made her son Zhao Qian the prince.Zhao Qian's bad conduct is well-known throughout the country. 3. It has been more than a year since Lu Buwei, Wenxin Marquis of the Qin Kingdom, returned to his feudal country (East of Dongbaima Temple, Luoyang City, Henan Province). Envoys and guests from all over the world have visited him one after another, and the momentum is still great.King Qin (sixth term) Yingzheng, afraid of changes, wrote a letter to Lu Buwei, saying: "What contribution have you made to the Kingdom of Qin? Seal your 100,000 households. What relationship do you have with the Kingdom of Qin? Known as Zhongfu .Now, I will exile you to the Kingdom of Shu (Chengdu City, Sichuan Province)." Lu Buwei knew that he was in a desperate situation, and execution was imminent. 1. In the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang), Marquis Wenxin Lu Buwei committed suicide by taking poison. His family members buried him. The Qin government began to investigate, and all attendants and guests who participated in the mourning were expelled from the country.Ying Zheng ordered: "From now on, anyone who presides over the government is as absurd as Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, and his property will be confiscated. Take this as an example." Yang Xiong's "Fayan" said: Some people said: "Isn't Lu Buwei a man of great wisdom and wisdom? He treats people as goods and trades them." Yang Xiong said: "Who says Lu Buwei is wise and wise? He sacrificed his family for the sake of official status. I think Lu Buwei is just a little bit bigger." The thief. The meaning of the thief is: the eyes only see the earthen pots, but they cannot see Luoyang City." Bo Yang said: Traditional historians are used to judging heroes by success or failure. According to Yang Xiong, if Lu Buwei can die well, wouldn't he be a great wisdom.Jesus told his disciples to "should be as nimble as a serpent" in order to preach.Lu Buwei was just as nimble as a snake, he didn't do harm to nature.A commoner who holds state power can now resort to elections. In ancient times, there was no fixed channel.Lu Buwei has far-sightedness, great wisdom, and is undoubtedly a hero of the generation.The only thing he can't grasp is that his old lover Zhao Ji is so lewd, her demands are endless, and the baby Yingzheng, who is playing on his arms and shoulders, is so completely ruthless. 2. From June to August in the Qin Kingdom, there was no rain for three months and severe drought. 3. The Qin Kingdom mobilized the troops of the four counties to assist the Wei Kingdom (the capital Daliang) to attack the Chu Kingdom (the capital Yingdu). 1. The general of the Qin Kingdom (the capital Xianyang) attacked the Zhao Kingdom (the capital Handan), and beheaded the general of the Zhao Kingdom in Pingyang (southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei Province), killing 100,000 people.King Zhao (fifth) Zhao Qian appointed Li Mu as the commander-in-chief of the three armies; in the battles of Yi'an (southwest of Gaocheng City, Hebei Province) and Feixia (Gaocheng City), the Qin army was defeated.Huan Yu led the remnant army to flee.The Zhao Kingdom granted Li Mu the title of Lord Wu'an. 1. The Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang) General Huanyu, then attacked the Zhao Kingdom (capital Handan), and even fell into Yi'an (southwest of Gaocheng City, Hebei Province), Pingyang (southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei Province), Wucheng (Cixian County, Hebei Province) southwest). Han An, the king of South Korea (fifth term), panicked, ceded the land, presented the king's seal, please downgrade to the vassal of the Qin Kingdom, and sent Han Fei to the Qin Kingdom to meet. Han Fei, one of the princes of Han Kingdom (capital Xinzheng), is a giant of the Legalist school.Seeing that the motherland was getting weaker and weaker, he was so worried that he repeatedly made written suggestions to the king, but the king laughed it off.Han Fei was very saddened by the embarrassment of the officials in power.Officials in power usually do not look for virtuous and talented people, but instead look for the "five beetles" (intellectuals who play with words, politicians who turn clouds and rain, knight-errants who donate money, cronies who deceive superiors and inferiors, workers and businessmen who pursue material comforts), As a living treasure.When the country is in peace, give preferential treatment to the queen wagging scholars; when the country is in emergency, rely on the samurai who are usually looked down upon.Cultivated talents are not used, and it is not the cultivated talents that are used.Witnessing honest and upright people being rejected by evil authorities, and examining past gains and losses, Han Fei wrote "Lonely Anger", "Five Beetles", "Inner Reserve", "Outer Reserve", "Shuo Lin", "Shuo Difficult" ", a total of fifty-six articles, about one hundred thousand words. Ying Zheng admired Han Fei's knowledge and talent, and planned to meet him.Therefore, Han Fei seized the opportunity of being an envoy to the Kingdom of Qin and wrote a letter to Yingzheng, saying: "The Kingdom of Qin has a vast territory of thousands of miles, with an armed force of one million, strict discipline, fair rewards and punishments, and clear orders. And. I desperately ask the king to grant an audience, and I will contribute a specific plan to destroy the vertical alliance. If the king uses my plan, it will not succeed in one fell swoop-the Kingdom of Zhao will not surrender, the Kingdom of Han will not perish, and the Kingdom of Chu and Wei will not surrender. If the Kingdom of Qi and the Kingdom of Yan do not surrender, the title of Overlord cannot be established, and if all the neighboring states and lords do not come to pilgrimage, please ask the king to kill me as punishment for not being loyal to the king." Ying Zheng was so moved that he had not yet appointed him. Li Si was already on fire with jealousy, and made a small report: "Han Fei is the prince of the Kingdom of Han. The king's purpose is to annex the world, and it is impossible for Han Fei to forget his motherland and serve the Kingdom of Qin wholeheartedly. This is human nature. But Sending him back to the country is not an option, with his talent, if the Kingdom of Han reuses him, it will become our future trouble, so it is better to get rid of him by law." Ying Zheng thought it was reasonable, so he arrested and imprisoned Han Fei.Li Si sent someone to deliver poison and taught Han Fei to commit suicide.Han Fei tried to meet Ying Zheng to explain, but couldn't.Yingzheng regretted it soon, and hurriedly sent someone to pardon Han Fei, and Han Fei was dead. Yang Xiong's "Fayan" said: Someone asked: "Han Fei wrote the great essay "Said Difficulty", but died of 'Said Difficulty', why couldn't he practice his theory?" Yang Xiong said: "It is because of 'Said Difficult' that he sacrificed." Ask: "Why?" Yang Xiong said: "A gentleman governs his actions with etiquette, and restrains himself with faith. If the will agrees, cooperate, and if the will does not agree, separate, and don't worry about whether it will be compatible! If you try to persuade others, you worry about whether you will agree or not. You can do anything according to the other party's wishes." The man asked: "Han Fei is worried about meeting the other party's wishes, isn't that right?" Yang Xiong said: "If persuasion work does not use proper means, it is worth worrying about. Whether the plan is accepted or not is not worth worrying about." Sima Guang said: A gentleman loves his relatives as well as other people's relatives; he loves his own country as well as other people's countries.Therefore, the meritorious deeds are great, and the reputation shines all over the world.As for Han Fei's proposal to the Qin Kingdom, the first thing was to destroy his motherland first, and the purpose was only to prove his knowledge and talent.His sins are not settled with one death, so there is no need to pity what happened to him. Bo Yang said: Han Fei's traitorous petition is extremely strange.Sima Guang and his editorial group seem to be deliberately obliterating the truth.According to other historical records: Yingzheng read Han Fei's works, admired him so much, and said to himself, "I can be friends with this man, and I will die without hatred." When Li Si told him that Han Fei was the prince of the Han Kingdom, Yingzheng Then he launched an attack on the Kingdom of Korea. This time the aggression was legendary, not for the land, but for the talents.Under such circumstances, when Han Fei arrived in Xianyang, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to meet him immediately. I'm afraid he couldn't even wait for the time to pee.But the tone of the letter seemed to be that Han Fei complained because he never saw Ying Zheng.Moreover, Han Fei has a stuttering problem. He can at most present his works, and that is enough. It is impossible to ask for a meeting. With Han Fei's wisdom, he will not insist on blaming himself.Even if Han Fei asked for a meeting, it would be impossible for him to write such childish remarks and offer a series of guarantees for the destruction of the country.Han Fei's masterpiece "Han Feizi", every sentence is a nail hammer, completely appealing to reason, and the words are not in vain.But this letter of betrayal is like a charlatan selling a dog skin plaster that can cure all diseases. Didn't he underestimate his opponent? "Historical Records" does not contain this letter, and "Warring States Policy" not only does not contain this letter, but also points out another public case (framed by Yao Jia).The reason why Sima Guang is like this is just a political trick.Because in real politics, Sima Guang's opponent, Wang Anshi, was a Legalist in the cloak of Confucianism, while Han Fei was the ancestor of the Legalist school.Just use this traitor letter to vilify the Legalists and make people have the impression that "Legalists are traitors". 1. King Yingzheng (sixth term) of Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang) dispatched an army to attack Zhao Kingdom (capital Handan), all the way to Yecheng (Nanye Town, Linzhang County, Hebei Province) and all the way to Taiyuan (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) , respectively captured Langmeng (Yangqu County, Shanxi Province) and Fanwu (Cixian County, Hebei Province).Li Mu, the general of the Zhao Kingdom, faced the battle, and the Qin army retreated immediately (the Qin army was obviously defeated, otherwise, since it sent out a large army, how could it be possible to only take one side and not fight the other). 2. In the beginning, Prince Ji Dan of the Kingdom of Yan (the capital of Jicheng) was a hostage in the Kingdom of Zhao and had a close relationship with Yingzheng.Ying Zheng became the king, and Ji Dan was reassigned to the Qin Kingdom as a hostage. He thought that his old friend would take special care of him, but Ying Zheng raised his face and seemed to ignore him.Ji Dan was very angry and fled back to the motherland. 1. The Kingdom of Han (capital Xinzheng) presented the land of Nanyang (the area west of Xiuwu County, Henan Province, between the Yellow River and Taihang Mountains) to the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang).In September, the Qin Kingdom sent troops to take over. 2. The Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) also presented land to the Kingdom of Qin (not referring to where). 3. The Daijun (Yu County, Hebei Province) earthquake, from Lexu (southeast of Laiyuan County, Hebei Province) to Pingyin (southeast of Yanggao County, Shanxi Province. The air distance between the two places is 140 kilometers), more than half of the buildings The houses collapsed, and the earth split a hundred and thirty paces from east to west.
