develops, no matter how the times change, the only constant is human nature.
Therefore, reading Shi Yiren, we will find that history is always strikingly similar, because human nature is like this.
It may be everyone's dream to achieve dominance for thousands of years, and the inexhaustible prosperity and wealth for children and grandchildren, not to mention the emperor of the Ninety-five Supreme, everyone wants to get more and make themselves stronger!
Many people only know " Spring and Autumn and Warring States ", but do not know why it is divided into Spring and Autumn and Warring States .
Spring and Autumn Period, is named after Lu Guo 's annual history "Spring and Autumn Period", and the Warring States period refers to this period of endless scuffles.
In that era, countries fought endlessly, and each country wanted to annex some small countries to strengthen its own strength. For example, the above-mentioned Lu country was annexed by Chu country . At the end of the Warring States period, Qin State, Chu State, Yan State, Zhao State, Korea, Wei State, Qi State, that is, historically Said " Sengoku Qixiong".
At the beginning, Qin's strength was relatively weak, because its geographical environment was remote and relatively backward, it was counted as a small border country in Seven Kingdoms , even a wild area.
Qin State bordered Wei State and Chu State at that time.Chu State and Wei State, both of which are powerful states, so Qin State is at risk of being destroyed at any time.
In the exchanges between countries, there is no such thing as "a distant relative is not as good as a near neighbor", there is always only "the strong eat the weak". Therefore, if the Qin state does not want to be eaten, it can only become stronger.
Since ancient times, a hard fist is the only truth!
Then, how did the Qin State counterattack from a small border country? How did it stand out among the seven countries and become the number one power?
We all know the historical allusion of " Shang Yang Reform "?
Yes, the strengthening of the Qin state started with the "Shang Yang Reform"!
In the middle of the Warring States Period, that is, Qin Xiaogong , he was determined to change the poverty and backwardness of Qin, so he was ready to recruit talents in an all-round way.
Qin Xiaogong recruits talents, regardless of nationality. To put it bluntly, as long as you are talented, no matter where you come from.
So, Wei Guo 人 Wei Yang came to Qin State, and with his true talents and practical learning, he was quickly appreciated and reused by Duke Xiao of Qin, who gave him the title of Lord of Shang_ span8span.
Therefore, Wei Yang was later called " Shang Yang ", and there was a famous "Shang Yang Reform" in history!
So, is Shang Yang's reform smooth sailing?
Of course not!
Although Duke Xiao of Qin gave Shang Yang enough trust to let him do it, I will bear all the consequences King Qin , so that you Shang Yang will have no worries!
But what about the rest of Qin? Especially those princes and nobles,They don't support Shang Yang, they think he is a foreigner, and he comes to our territory to point fingers, and the key is to touch our cheese, so of course they can't tolerate you.
At this time, those people not only did not listen to Shang Yang, but also knowingly committed the crime, that is, they deliberately went against Shang Yang. Among these people, there was also the son of Duke Xiao of Qin, who was the prince of Qin at that time.
This is also the most serious one!
Shall I punish the prince? Shang Yang thought it was necessary, because if he didn't punish the prince, he wouldn't be able to deter others. The reason why the legal system cannot be implemented is because the people above have taken the lead in violating it.
So Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong suggested that the prince be severely punished, that is, the later King Huiwen of Qin .
So, how to punish the prince?
The prince, who is the heir to the future monarch, certainly cannot be directly punished by criminal law. Therefore, criminal law was imposed on the prince Fu Gongziqian and the prince's master Gongsun Jia .
Although the prince was spared the pain of flesh and blood, his heart must be very painful. Because of his own fault, his teacher was implicated, so it was considered that the prince was punished.
Of course, Shang Yang also offended the future monarch and laid the groundwork for his subsequent murder.
However, Shang Yang had been reforming the Qin for ten years, how could it be more than the prince who offended him?
There are also many old nobles of Qin!
Because, " Qin Fa " encourages people to farm and fight, that is, to become rich by hard work, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can also become a noble from the grassroots!
And these practices will inevitably affect the interests of some old nobles. They have long been used to getting something for nothing. They just want to ensure their vested interests and are not willing to take risks at all. I can't bear to have other nobles to replace me!
Many of the old aristocrats in the Qin state have become obstacles to Shang Yang's reform.However, as the maker and executor of the "Qin Law", Shang Yang, of course, had to defend the fruits of his labor, so all offenders were punished.
In this way, all the contradictions and differences that Shang Yang gave to the Qin country were concentrated on himself. All the old aristocratic families in the Qin country regarded Shang Yang as an enemy, and they wanted to destroy Shang Yang at any time.
However, because Duke Xiao Qin is there, they have no chance!
At this time, a man named Zhao Liang saw the crux of the problem, so he advised Shang Yang to retreat bravely while Duke Xiao Qin was alive.
At that time, Shang Yang was very proud of the spring breeze, and he was full of power. How could he listen to the advice of someone who was not as good as himself?
Later, Duke Xiao of Qin died, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne.
A new monarch has come to power, marking the arrival of a new era. One emperor, one courtier!
Immediately after King Huiwen of Qin succeeded to the throne, the disciples of the son of came to complain, saying that Shang Yang had rebelled. King Qin Huiwen, Shang Yang has long been disliked, so he doesn't care whether the rebellion is true or not! Immediately, he sent someone to arrest Shang Yang and imposed the most cruel criminal law - dismembering the body by five horses.
Shang Yang, a great reformer, through reforms, made the Qin state stronger and gradually became stronger from a small border country. However, in the end it was suicide.
After Shang Yang's death, many old nobles of the Qin state ran to tell each other, playing their crowns and celebrating, thinking that their era was coming again.
However, King Qin Huiwen is not a fool! Although he killed Shang Yang, he did not abolish the "Qin Law". Because, through the changes in the reform, King Huiwen of Qin can see it, and of course he will continue to implement the laws that are beneficial to the country.
A powerful Qin state was handed over to King Qin Huiwen, who killed Shang Yang, quelled the grievances of the old nobles for many years, and also eliminated an important minister who was a threat to him. The effect of killing two birds with one stone.
A mighty Qin state,On the stage of history!
