Chapter 4 the third part

Kong Bin is the sixth grandson of Kong Qiu.Wei Yu (sound yu [rain]), the king of Wei, admired Kong Bin's talents and asked Kong Bin to be his prime minister.However, for nine months, Wei Yu refused to listen to any suggestions related to the country's major plans and policies.Kong Bin then resigned, saying: "For a terminally ill patient, there is no good doctor in the world. In the past, Yi Yin was in the Xia Dynasty, and Jiang Ziya was in the Shang Dynasty. They? Of course not, but the situation does not allow it. Within 20 years, the whole world will be swallowed up by the Qin Kingdom."

The parable of a sparrow quoted by Kong Bin is thought-provoking.He pointed out: Some people have the same views as the sparrows, they don't know that disaster is coming!That kind of trance attitude is surprising.However, in the history of more than two thousand years, we have seen more such shots.A man fell from a 60-story building, and when he passed the window on the 50th floor, he said: "I am alive and well." When he passed the window on the 40th floor, he said: "I am alive and well." Said: "I live very well." The message of safety came out continuously.Too often, all living beings are happy in the sound of "living well", and even fight for power and profit, causing a teacup storm.

Too much sense of urgency makes people frightened, and too little sense of urgency makes people numb.The Chinese tend to be divided into two extremes, which makes the disaster even more serious and harder to get rid of. King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang), Yingji, is determined to avenge Fan Ju with the power of the country.According to intelligence, Wei Qi hid in the residence of Zhao Sheng, Lord Pingyuan of the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital Handan [Handan City, Hebei Province]), and Ying Ji invited Zhao Sheng to visit the Kingdom of Qin (the capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]).When Zhao Sheng arrived, he was imprisoned immediately.Send someone to tell King Zhao (the third King Xiaocheng) that Zhao Dan said: "If you don't cut off Wei Qi's head, your uncle (Zhao Sheng) will not be able to leave Hangu Pass (northeast of Lingbao County, Henan Province)." Wei Qi had no choice but to He escaped from Zhao Sheng's residence and defected to Prime Minister Yu Qing.Yu Qing immediately resigned and fled to the Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang [Kaifeng City, Henan Province]) with Wei Qi, planning to ask his brother Wei Wuji for help before fleeing to the Kingdom of Chu (capital Chenqiu [Huaiyang City, Henan Province]).Considering the national interest, Wei Wuji dared not meet immediately.Wei Qi committed suicide in a fit of anger.Zhao Dan cut off his head and gave it to the Qin Kingdom, who then sent Zhao Sheng back.

Although Wei Qi is a prime minister, he is essentially the same as Xu Jia. He is just a gangster in the officialdom. When he shed other people's blood and caused others pain to show his loyalty, he was impassioned and in high spirits.When it was time to shed his own blood to safeguard the country's security, he despicably abandoned his job and fled.All cruel people, there is no one who is not as timid as a mouse. Thinking of how he was sitting in the high hall and ordering Fan Ju to be tortured, he was so stunned, and he never imagined that there will be today.A person who is as timid as a mouse, because he firmly believes that his opponent cannot stand up, he suddenly becomes bold.Wei Qi didn't say a word of apology for his past behavior of framing Zhongliang until his death, instead he angrily reprimanded others for not being enough friends.Hey, he actually wants everyone in the world to die and suffer for his sins alone, he can be regarded as the oldest scumbag in Chinese history.His end made all the lonely souls who have been wronged and wronged feel proud.Mr. Reader, if you have wine, please drink it.

In 257 BC, King Yingji of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]) (the third Zhaoxiang King) exempted Baiqi from all titles and positions, demoted him as a soldier, and exiled him to Yinmi (Lingtai County, Gansu Province). In December, the Qin Kingdom once again mobilized troops to reinforce the front, and the vanguard arrived in Fencheng (Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province).Bai Qi was unable to set off due to illness.At that time, reinforcements from various countries attacked Wang Lu, and Wang Lu was repeatedly defeated. Envoys who asked the government for help came in an endless stream.This made Ying Ji even more angry, and ordered Bai Qi to be forced to set off, and he was not allowed to stay in the capital Xianyang for a while.Bai Qi had no choice but to leave, ten miles from the west gate of Xianyang, to Duyou (northeast of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province [a small town southwest of Xianyang City, capital of Qin Dynasty]).Ying Ji discussed with Fan Ju and senior officials: "Bai Qi expressed dissatisfaction with the punishment imposed on him, and even complained!" Ying Ji sent someone to give Bai Qi a sword. Intentionally, he raised his sword and committed suicide.

Bai Qi's biggest crime was killing and surrendering in Changping (northwest of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province).However, for the Qin Kingdom, his meritorious service is unmatched.His refusal to be commander in chief of the great army may have been out of vindictiveness, or he may have genuinely foreseen invincibility.The Qin Kingdom punished the defeated generals severely, and he dared not take the risk.But it is more likely that he is really sick.The problem is that under the autocratic system, no one is allowed to have individuality.Bai Qi dared to refuse the king's gift to a high-ranking official who had committed a big taboo (to despise the official rank is to despise the king, and the king relies on this magic weapon to maintain his authority), and after being demoted, he was still dissatisfied and complained. Behavior is called "resentment".Therefore, once the cunning people in the officialdom are persecuted or wronged, not only dare not express their dissatisfaction and speak the truth, but they are sincere and fearful, thinking that "the minister's crime should be punished" and "the king of heaven is wise".I hope the leader will affirm his loyalty.Felonies may avoid death, and misdemeanors may be re-emerged.

In 256 BC, the Qin Kingdom attacked the Han Kingdom and killed 40,000 people; it also attacked the Zhao Kingdom, beheading and capturing 90,000 people.Ji Yan, king of Zhou Kingdom (the forty-third king of Nan) located in Luoyang (east of Baima Temple, Luoyang City, Henan Province), panicked and secretly contacted other kingdoms in an attempt to reorganize the north-south alliance. Ji Yan personally led the coalition forces, Go out of Yique (5 kilometers south of Luoyang City, Henan Province), and cut off the Qin Army's grain road, so that it can no longer enter Yangcheng (southeast of Dengfeng County, Henan Province).The Qin army reacted quickly and violently. The general (surname unknown) led his army to Luoyang, captured Ji Yan alive, and sent him to the Kingdom of Qin as a captive.The Zhou Kingdom belonged to 36 cities with a total population of 30,000, all of which were merged into the Qin Kingdom.Later, Ji Yan was released again, demoted to a commoner, and died in Luoyang.

The Zhou Dynasty was established in 1134 BC by the first Wang Jifa, until the death of the 43rd Wang Jiyan in this year (256 BC). It was 879 years since the founding of the country, and disappeared quietly without causing any ripples or protests. "Co-lord" and "Son of Heaven", how sacred, when the time comes, they are worthless.The Kingdom of Zhou has only 36 cities and a population of 30,000 left. It is no longer qualified to intervene in international politics, and it is not even qualified to "raise panic".The only way is to wait and see.But Ji Yan suddenly showed his grand plans. Although we were not there, we can imagine: impassioned, "There is a city with soil, and there is a brigade with people", similar to what Si Shaokang Zhongxing said, he must have said a lot.When the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, those who speak loudly will of course disappear.

Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen of the Kingdom of Chu (capital Chenqiu [Huaiyang County, Henan Province]), appointed Xun Kuang as the county magistrate of Lanling (Cangshan County, Shandong Province).Xun Kuang, a native of the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital of Handan [Handan City, Hebei Province]), once discussed military affairs with Lord Linwu (unknown name) before King Zhao (the third king of Xiaocheng) Zhao Dan. After a debate, Chen Xiao Asked: "Mr. talks about military affairs, and always thinks that benevolence and justice are fundamental. The problem arises. The benevolent has love, and the righteous has reason and rules. How can we lead the army to fight? The purpose of leading the army is to win." Xun Xun Kuang said: "This is beyond what you can understand. The benevolent has love, and it is because of love that they hate those who harm others. The righteous have reason and laws, and it is because they have reason and laws that they hate people who destroy reason and destroy people." People who follow the law. The purpose of military operations is to eradicate violence, not to seize power and property.”

Sima Guang quoted Xun Kuang's argument in a huge space of six to seven thousand characters, and he obviously agreed with this argument.Xun Kuang is a revisionist of the Confucian school, and in his thinking, the information of the Legalist school has been revealed.Like Meng Ke, he is an orator, but he is not as cute as Meng Ke.Although Meng Ke sometimes fell into the error of proof and logic, he was full of enthusiasm and momentum, and his persuasion was very strong on the spot.Xun Kuang had a cold face, trying to be a teacher.This debate with Lord Linwu was full of eloquence, but it was just a farce, because Lord Linwu was talking about tactics, and Xun Kuang was talking about political strategies, which are completely different things.Not only do they not conflict, but they complement each other.When Xun Kuang later talked about tactics, he was still in the same way as Lord Linwu.In the article, Linwu Jun is repeatedly reminded of his admiration expression, which makes people suspicious.

Xun Kuang's views are sometimes so absurd that they go so far as to imagine that the people of the enemy country love us like their parents and regard their rulers as enemies.So once war breaks out, they will never stand on the side of the tyrant, and will never attack us who are regarded as parents!This is a midnight talk. No matter how great benevolent government is, it may make the people of the enemy country envious, but it is impossible to make the people of the enemy country regard the invaders as parents, and it is even less likely to prompt the enemy to betray the whole country.Once the confrontation begins, the fighters are completely controlled by the act of killing and the fear of being killed. Who cares who is the "righteous teacher" and who is the "robbing soldier"?Since the history of human beings, "benevolent people" and "benevolent government" that have never been realized have never been realized. The Confucian system has expanded its effect without limit, and it has become an invincible spell. In fact, Xun Kuang worshiped deceit and violence. His Excellency used the "Mo Xie" sword to describe himself, and shouted the bloody slogan "Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die".For those who follow later, it will all be "decline of offense, perdition of rebellion".This kind of "benevolent" army is vicious enough.The most embarrassing thing is: under the "benevolent government", there are still offenses and rebellions. The power of "benevolent government" is not as omnipotent as it is described, and it has to be maintained by titles, promotions and rewards. How can it be qualified to ridicule the armies of other countries? ?Xun Kuang said that killing Si Lugui and Zi Shouxin was like killing two local hooligans. It was too easy and too easy. He should know that it was two bloody battles and tens of thousands of people died. There are all the documents in "Book of Books", how can it be regarded as a lyric poem?This is an irresponsible attitude.The "six skills" and "five powers" are just things that some superficial intellectuals have little understanding of, and the paperwork they do is full of loopholes.Fortunately, the army was not handed over to him, otherwise, another Mr. Zhao Kuo would appear. However, Xun Kuang's opinion has its own value, at least "three to" is the iron rule of being a general.If a person in authority abuses the people explicitly or implicitly, if the general executes it, he should be made to pay the price.Ekman, the concentration camp demon, was hanged in Israel, and Hisao Tani was shot in Nanjing, which shows that "orders from superiors" can no longer make the murderer escape responsibility. Wei Huaijun (the forty-sixth term) Wei Huaijun (name unknown) of the state of Wei (the capital Puyang [Puyang City, Henan Province]) visited the capital of the Kingdom of Wei in Daliang (Kaifeng City, Henan Province) in 252 BC. After killing him, he appointed his younger brother (name unknown) to succeed him (forty-seventh), as Wei Yuanjun.Wei Yuanjun is the son-in-law of Wei Yu, king of Wei. The history books did not explain what crime Mr. Wei Huaijun had committed and had to be executed, but pointed out that the new monarch was a royal in-law of the Kingdom of Wei. This was obviously a political struggle with the help of external forces.The violence of the Kingdom of Wei was no less than that of the Kingdom of Qin. Whenever he was happy or unhappy, he would execute the head of another country that had nothing to do with him like a prisoner.The state of Wei was granted by the Zhou Dynasty (capital Haojing [west of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province]), not by the Kingdom of Wei, but the country is small and the people are weak.When the Kingdom of Wei met the Kingdom of Qin, he was frightened, but when he met his neighbors, he had another attitude. This incident reminds us of another incident that happened in the last century (the first 4th century). The first king of the Kingdom of Wei emphasized that the monarch of the state of Wei is the "ruler of the people" and claimed: "It is bad luck not to listen to the words of the ruler." Now the king of Wei not only He didn't listen to the words of the "human master", and even cut off the head of the "human master", but there was nothing ominous.It is not the real reason to fully prove the reason for returning the fugitive.I don't know what other reasons the autocratic devil will invent to prove that "the master is extraordinary"? The king (eighth term) Ji Xi of the Kingdom of Yan (capital Jicheng [Beijing]) sent his minister Li Fu as a goodwill ambassador to meet with King Zhao Dan (the third king of Xiaocheng) of the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital Handan) and presented 120,000 taels of gold. As a blessing, I vowed that the two countries will form an alliance forever.After Li Fu returned to the country, he reported to Ji Xi: "All the adults in the Kingdom of Zhao died in Changping (northwest of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province). The young people have not yet grown up. This country has no human resources to attack." Ji Xi asked Chang Guo According to Jun Lexian (Le Yi's son), Lexian said: "The Kingdom of Zhao is surrounded by powerful enemies and there is no danger to defend it. It relies entirely on the armed forces to defend the country. Everyone is a strong fighter and must not be underestimated. "Ji Xi said: "I use five times the overwhelming power, Zhao Kingdom can't resist." Le Xian resolutely objected, Ji Xi was furious, and immediately put on a straight face.All senior officials supported the king's correct judgment, so Ji Xi ordered 1,000 chariots to go south to attack.The minister Jiang Qu said: "Conclude a covenant with someone, make an eternal friendship, and use a grand gift of 120,000 taels of gold to bless the king. As soon as the envoy returns to the country, he will turn his face and be ruthless, and want to destroy the country. This is not a noble act." , it is impossible to obtain the results of the battle." Ji Xi refused to listen, and personally led a support army to set off after the main army.In a hurry, he grabbed the brocade belt of Ji Xipei's seal letter, Ji Xi was even more annoyed, kicked him away, and said with tears: "I am not planning for myself, but for the king." The army of Yan arrived at Songzi (Zhao County, Hebei Province), Lian Po, the general of Zhao Kingdom, defeated Li Fu in the neighboring city (north of Baixiang County, Hebei Province), and Le Cheng, another general of Zhao Kingdom, was in Daijun (Yuxian County, Hebei Province) Defeat Qing Qin, pursue more than 500 Huali to the north, and encircle Jicheng, the capital of the Kingdom of Yan.Ji Xi had no choice but to ask for reconciliation, Zhao Guo said: "We only negotiate with him." Ji Xi appointed him as prime minister for peace talks, and the Zhao army retreated. King Yan's unbelief, unrighteousness, cruelty and cruelty, how could it be inferior to that of Qin Kingdom?Ji Xi only saw the bone in front of him, but couldn't see the steel knife under the bone.It is precisely because there are too many short-sighted people who are mercenary for profit that human tragedies and scandals emerge in endlessly.The Warring States Period is coming to an end, everyone will die together, but they still have the courage to kill each other.The world only pays attention to the unbelief, unrighteousness, violence and cruelty of the strong, and ignores that the weak are often even more unbelievable, unrighteous, and cruel. Wei Yu, king of the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang [Kaifeng City, Henan Province]), asked Kong Bin: "Who is the master of the world?" Kong Bin said: "There is no such person in the world. If you must point it out, it is Lu Zhong Lian." Wei Yu said: "Lu Zhonglian is deliberately artificial, not a natural noble temperament." Kong Bin said: "A person who works hard to practice and never slackens will become a gentleman. He has been deliberately artificial to the end, and does not change midway. , that is the natural noble temperament." Virtue is cultivated gradually, greatness is self-disciplined.There has never been a person in the world who relies solely on talent, is different in the womb of his mother, and is born with more ambitions. Only a tail wag dares to think that his master is like this.Mr. Wei Yu didn't believe the facts he saw, and his purpose was only to belittle the other party's worth. If this kind of reaction was not envious, it must be political leadership. The son of Shugao from Anling (Yanling County, Henan Province) of the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang [Kaifeng City, Henan Province]), worked in the Kingdom of Qin (the capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]) as a Guancheng (Zhengzhou City, Henan Province) guard.Wei Wuji was unable to capture him, so he sent someone to see Mr. Anling (unknown name), and said: "Please send Shugao to me, I plan to appoint him as the fifth doctor (the twelfth level of civil officials) and a full-power law enforcement officer (executive officer) Jiewei)." Lord Anling said: "I am a small feudal state, and the people may not obey the orders I issue, so please tell the envoys directly." Ask someone to guide the envoys to Shugao and read Wei Wuji's letter .Shu Gao said: "The reason why the prince values ​​me is that he wants to use me to attack Guancheng—so that if a father attacks the city that his son defends, all the people in the world will laugh at him. If my son surrenders for me, he is betraying his master. Mr. Wei Wuji would not like a father who encourages his son to betray his master, so please forgive me for not daring to accept the appointment.” After the envoy reported back, Wei Wuji’s anger rose, and he sent someone to inform Lord Anling: “Although Anling is a feudal state, , but it is also the territory of the Kingdom of Wei. If I cannot capture Guancheng now, the Kingdom of Qin will use Guancheng as a base to counterattack us, and the Kingdom of Wei will face danger (the air distance between Guancheng and Daliang [Kaifeng City, Henan Province] is 60 kilometers) .I hope you can send the living ones. If you can’t or don’t want to, I will lead an army of 100,000 to your city.” Lord Anling said: “My father Chenghou (name unknown) served my grandfather (second term) According to the order of King Xiangwei Wei Si), he guarded the city and handed over the criminal regulations to him. The most important clause in the criminal regulations is: "If a minister murders the king, and a child murders his parents, there will be no pardon. Even if the amnesty is ordered, the whole city will surrender. The enemy, or the general who fled before the battle, will never forgive him.' Now I am refusing the high position you gave him to relieve the plight faced by their father and son, but you want me to capture him alive. This makes me disobey King Xiang (2 I would rather die than accept your instructions." Shu Gao heard the news and said: "Wei Wuji has a fierce temper and strong self-confidence. If the envoy returns, if If you pass on the words of Lord Anling intact, catastrophe will come. I have done my duty as a vassal, and I will not allow my monarch to be attacked by the army of my motherland." So he shrank to the envoy's residence and cut his throat. neck suicide.Wei Wuji didn't expect it to evolve to this point, so he immediately changed into mourning clothes, moved to a wing room (Xi Su Pi She, expressing the highest condolences), and sent someone to apologize to Mr. An Ling, saying: "I am such a small person, I don't think carefully, and I am sorry for you. I said something that shouldn't be said before, please forgive me." The focus of this historical site should be Guancheng, but the original text is devoted to describing the dialogue between Shugao and Lord Anling.Whether Guancheng was captured or escaped from the siege was not explained.Traditional Chinese historians are accustomed to this kind of rigid opportunity education.Therefore, facts do not matter, ideology does.Guancheng is not important, but the words of Shrinking High and Lord Anling are important. History does not become history, but becomes the preaching book of the Confucian school. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]) was shocked by the mighty strength of Wei Wuji, the strongman of the Kingdom of Wei.The king (the fifth King Zhuangxiang) Ying Yiren (Ying Chu) threw 200,000 taels of gold, and created a whispering movement in the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang [Kaifeng City, Henan Province]), through the guests of Jinbi, to King Wei of Wei Yu warned: "Wei Wuji has been in exile for ten years. After you promoted him to be the supreme commander, all countries are willing to follow his instructions. This is an obvious crisis. Everyone in the world only knows Wei Wuji, but not you. King." Ying Yiren repeatedly sent envoys to pay tribute to Wei Wuji and ask him when he will ascend to the throne?Wei Yu heard all the information that was not good for Wei Wuji day and night, so he had to believe it, so he sent someone to take over his post as commander in chief.Knowing his situation, Wei Wuji claimed that he was sick, so he no longer attended court meetings, drank alcohol day and night and indulged in the beauties, all he wanted was a quick death.Four years (before 243), he died as expected. What made Wei Yu determined to exclude Wei Wuji were two sentences: "People only know him, but not you!" This is the mode of "knowing him but not you".Fan Jugang used it to attack Empress Dowager Mi Bazi and Wei Ran (refer to 266 BC). It is a miracle that Wei Wuji was able to save his life.Because, with the evolution of history, these two sentences have become more and more lethal. Wei Wuji's loyalty and righteousness shocked the world, and everyone respected him.Why did Wei Yu hear all slander?This is of course the Qin Kingdom's money is powerful, and it is also a mistake of Wei Wuji.With his power and ability, he can cut off the communication between the king and the outside world, at least he can place his cronies around the king—just like Tian Dan placed Diao Bo around King Tian Fazhang (refer to 279 BC), but Wei Wuji did not. This was done because he believed that he and the king were blood brothers, so he couldn't be scheming, and he couldn't suspect that the other party would be ruthless.His lack of action to protect himself ultimately made all the difference.Merely being loyal is useless, you must convince your master that you are loyal.And how to convince the master of your loyalty depends on official means.However, a person's energy is limited, and after devoting himself to work, there is no time for him to please him.The story of Wei Wuji has been repeated again and again in Chinese history, probably because of this. The Kingdom of Han (capital Xinzheng [Xinzheng County, Henan Province]) launched an offensive that exhausted the people of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]).Zheng Guo, a water conservancy engineer, pretended to flee and defected to the Qin Kingdom. He persuaded the Qin government to dig a mountain in Zhongshan (East Zhongshan [Northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province]), guide Jingshui, and flow along the southern foot of Beishan (Northern Mountains) into Luo River (the Zhengguo Canal flows into the Luo River in the southeast of Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province, with a length of more than 150 kilometers from east to west. Today, after two thousand years, most of the old Zhengguo Canal has been lost, and only a section in the northwest of Jingyang County remains as part of the Jinghui Canal).During the progress of this huge water conservancy project, the conspiracy was discovered.The Kingdom of Qin wanted to kill Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo said: "I only came here to prolong the life of the Han Kingdom for a few years. However, when the aqueduct is completed, the Qin Kingdom will enjoy the benefits of all generations." The Qin Kingdom thought his words were reasonable and ordered him to continue host the project.Use the excavated soil to fill high and low-lying areas and cover them on the alkaline land, so that the barren land becomes fertile and good fields, as many as 40,000 hectares (1 hectare is 100 mu), and the harvest per mu is as high as six dendrobium four Ascension, the Qin Kingdom became more prosperous. The mind of the head of power in the Kingdom of Korea is a wonder in the world.Su Qin intends to make the Kingdom of Qi decline, using them to waste their national power on depraved consumption behaviors, such as building palaces and treasures, opening imperial gardens, zoos, etc.However, what the Han Kingdom did was to make the enemy country invest in constructive projects, which is really incredible.It's like a tiger pressing the door, trying not to sharpen its gun and sharpen its knife, but leading it to eat a lamb five miles away every day, hoping that it will be tired from running and have no energy to eat again, but it does not expect that it will become more and more hungry every day. For majestic.If a country has a ruling class with such an IQ, it is simply unreasonable if it does not perish. In 242 BC, the kingdoms were aware of the continuous invasion of the Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]) and the increasing danger, so they sought countermeasures. To this day, it is not too late to reorganize the North-South alliance.The problem is that the ruling classes of various countries are corrupt to the bone.The pockets of those in power are full of gold and silver bribes from the Qin Kingdom.Without good politics, there are no good combat troops.The generals use undignified means to obtain high positions, and the soldiers are all from poor families, half-fed and half-starved in the army. Therefore, whether it is an official or a soldier, they have no fighting spirit. Once they are thrown into the battlefield, they will naturally collapse.Countries don't know how to reform their politics and strengthen their combat power, but they want to rely on those armies that are alienated from Germany to protect their privileges and create miracles, which is really whimsical. When Yingzheng, the sixth king of the Qin Kingdom, came to the throne for the first time, he was still young. The queen mother Zhao Ji committed adultery with Lao Ai (sound laoai [洞短]) and 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, with power at home and abroad.Someone exposed the truth to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng ordered an investigation. Lai Ai launched a mutiny, used jade seals, recruited troops, and attacked Qinian Palace (southeast corner of Yongxian City) in Yongxian County (Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province), where Yingzheng was vacationing, in an attempt to capture and kill Yingzheng.Yingzheng ordered the prime ministers Changpingjun and Changguojun (both nobles, whose names are unknown) to gather troops to fight. Lao Ai was defeated and fled, but was captured alive by the pursuers. his henchmen.Yingzheng imprisoned his mother in Yanggong, Yong County [艹失, Yinbei] (southwest of Hu County, Shaanxi Province), 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, 27 people who spoke and persuaded were executed on the spot.Mao Jiao, a guest from the Kingdom of Qi, asked for an audience. Ying Zheng sat in the high hall, holding his sword in his hand, foaming at the mouth.Mao Jiao walked up to him slowly and said: "Your Majesty's behavior is very rebellious. Don't you know that? You cracked up your false father, killed your second younger brother, exiled your mother, and slaughtered loyal ministers who came to admonish you. Jie) and Zi Shouxin (Zhou) are not so cruel. Once it spreads all over the world, the centripetal force will collapse immediately, and no one will yearn for the Qin Kingdom. I am worried about the king, and this is all I have to say." Yingzheng suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly Go down to the palace, help him up with your hand, and say: "I accept your advice." Go to [艹减] Yang Palace to welcome Queen Mother Zhao back to Xianyang, and the relationship between mother and child is restored to the past. Yingzheng's punishment and killing of Lai Ai did not violate good customs or national laws.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 incident. If it was true, we doubted whether it was due to Ying Zheng's arrangement. The king of the Kingdom of Chu (capital Shouchun [Shouxian County, Anhui Province]) (the 23rd King Kaolie) has no sons.Li Yuan, a native of Zhao Kingdom (the capital of Handan [Handan City, Hebei Province]), was about to dedicate his sister to Mi Wan. He heard that Mi Wan had no fertility, so he dared not act rashly. Fall out of favor.Chun Shenjun Huang Xie then welcomed Li Yuan's sister into the mansion as his concubine.Soon, she became pregnant.Huang Xie sent her back to his brother Li Yuan's house, and then recommended her to Mi Wan.Mi Wan really welcomed her into the palace, and finally gave birth to a boy (Mi Han), who was named the prince.A mother is more precious than a child, and Li Yuan's younger sister also became the queen, and his uncle Li Yuan 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 and died 17 days later. Li Yuan was the first to be called into the palace. Li Yuan set up an ambush at the palace gate, but Huang Xie went in recklessly. 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. 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, 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, the number was even greater, and until the 20th century, there were people who appeared 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. In 235 BC, Lu Buwei, Marquis Wenxin of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang [Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province]) committed suicide by taking poison, and his family buried him. The Qin government started an investigation, and all attendants and guests who participated in the funeral 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." "Fa Yan" said: "Some people said: 'Isn't Lu Buwei a man of great wisdom and wisdom? He treats people as goods and trades them out.' Yang Xiong said: 'Who said Lu Buwei was wise and wise? He sacrificed his family for the sake of official rank. I think Lu Buwei is just a bigger thief. The meaning of a thief is: the eyes only see the earthen pots, but they can't see the city of Luoyang.'” 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.From being a commoner to mastering state power, you can now resort to elections. In ancient times, there was no fixed channel.Lu Buwei is far-sighted, fast-paced, and intelligent. He is undoubtedly a hero of the generation.The only thing he can't grasp is that his old lover Zhao Ji is so lustful, her demands are endless, and the baby Yingzheng, who is playing on his arms and shoulders, is so completely turned and ruthless. In 233 BC, the Kingdom of Qin attacked the Kingdom of Zhao again. Han An, the king of South Korea (fifth term), panicked, ceded the land, and presented the king's seal, please downgrade to a vassal of the Kingdom of Qin, and sent Han Fei to the Kingdom of Qin to meet. Han Fei is one of the princes of the Kingdom of Han (the capital Xinzheng [Xinzheng County, Henan Province]), a giant of Legalism.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 give preferential treatment to the queen wagging scholars; when the country is in an emergency, they rely on the samurai who are usually despised.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" "... 56 articles in total. 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, and its armed forces claim to be one million. It has strict discipline, fair rewards and punishments, and clear orders. No one in the world can match it." I risk my life to 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——Kingdom of Zhao will not surrender, Kingdom of Han will not perish, Kingdom of Chu and Kingdom of Wei will not surrender, and Kingdom of Qi will not surrender. If the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Yan do not surrender, the name of Overlord cannot be established, and if all the vassal kings in the neighboring countries 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 Already jealous, he made a small report saying: "Han Fei is the prince of the Han Kingdom. The king's purpose is to annex the world, and it is impossible for Han Fei to forget his motherland and serve the Qin Kingdom wholeheartedly. This is human nature. It is not a solution for him to return to the country, 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 told Han Fei to commit suicide. "Fa Yan" said: "Someone asked: Han Fei wrote the great essay "Shuo Dian", but died of "Shuo Dian", why he couldn't practice his theory? Yang Xiong said: It was because of "Shuo Dian" that he sacrificed. The man asked: 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 The other party's will, that is what can be done. The man asked: Han Fei is worried about meeting the other party's wishes, isn't it right? Yang Xiong said: Persuasion work does not use proper means, it is worth worrying about. Is the plan being rejected? Accept it, it's 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, his meritorious deeds are great and his reputation shines all over the world. When Han Fei offered advice to the Qin Kingdom, the first thing is to The purpose of destroying his motherland first is to prove his knowledge and talent. His crimes are not to be solved with one death, so there is no need to pity what happened to him.” Han Fei's traitorous petition was very strange.Sima Guang and his editorial group seem to be deliberately obliterating the truth.According to other historical records: Yingzheng read Han Fei's masterpiece, admired him so much that he felt sorry for himself and said: "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 aggression was legendary, not for land, but for 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 masterpiece, which is enough. It is impossible to ask for a meeting. With Han Fei's wisdom, he will not insist on abusing 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.In 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, is a Legalist in the cloak of Confucianism, while Han Fei is the ancestor of the Legalist school.正好利用这封卖国上书，把法家丑化，使人们产生“法家就是卖国贼”的印象。 纪元前229年，秦王国(首都咸阳【陕西省咸阳市】)向赵王国(首都邯郸【河北省邯郸市】)作灭国性攻击。赵王国大将李牧、司马尚，竭力抵抗，秦军不能前进。秦王国间谍给赵国王(五任)赵迁的宠臣郭开更多的金银珠宝，于是郭开向赵迁警告说：李牧、司马尚即将叛变。赵迁大起恐慌，派赵葱跟齐王国(首都临淄【山东省淄博市东临淄镇】)将领颜聚，接替李牧、司马尚职务。李牧悲愤，拒绝交出兵权，抵抗失败，在逃亡途中被杀，司马尚也被罢黜。 “诬以谋反”的铁帽，法力无边。天下多少忠臣义士和国家栋梁，丧生在这个铁帽之下，自古忠良多枉死，长使英雄泪满襟。赵王国亡在眉睫，还替敌人诛杀最后一员名将。郭开属于一脸忠贞分子，历史自有定论。而国王赵迁，这位摧毁赵王国的凶手，可真是名符其实婊子养的。
