It can be said that if King Wu of Qin did not die because of lifting the cauldron, he would probably leave his children. And the Qin lineage will be a different scene. Let us assume that in another time and space, the Qin lineage was inherited by the descendants of King Wu of Qin. Then, in that time and space, Ying Zheng (Qin Shihuang) may be just an ordinary child of the Qin clan.
However, from the death of King Wu of Qin, we can see that King Wu of Qin is brave and fierce, and he may not be able to take on the position of King Qin.
1. The force is above
. In most people’s impression, Qin pursues the establishment of a country by force. However, in the era of King Huiwen of Qin, the King of Qin reused Zhangyi , and also took advantage of the contradictions between the six eastern countries to continuously differentiate and disintegrate the six countries, and strive for the greatest interests for the growth of Qin. Under this method of combining hardness and softness, the six Eastern countries suffered greatly. Especially Chu State , under the use of both soft and hard work of Qin people, they continue to suffer losses.
Qin Wu King was very brave in his years as the crown prince. Moreover, King Wu of Qin liked to make friends with strong men, but instead despised Zhang Yi, a stubborn man, who believed that stubborn man gained wealth and prosperity by talking and making trouble, which was not done by a man. So not long after King Wu of Qin came to power, Zhang Yi left Qin. On the contrary, strong men (but not strategists) such as Meng Shuo were valued.
From the perspective of King Wu of Qin's personnel appointments, it is not difficult to see that King Wu of Qin's understanding of talents is limited to strong strong men. This concept is not enough to govern the army (note: even if you manage the army, you need certain management talents), let alone govern the Qin State.
Sure enough, under the rule of King Wu of Qin, many tyrants saw that they could no longer find a chance to settle down in Qin, so they began to advocate , , and used this to suppress and block Qin's development path.
2. Under the dangerous wall
The ancients said: A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. In ancient Chinese, a gentleman refers to some people who hold power. As the king of Qin, what King Wu of Qin should do is to govern the country and select talents, and to value talents who manage the world and benefit the people. Moreover, for the viewpoint of Qin's stability, King Wu of Qin should be cautious in his own safety and prevent Qin's turmoil due to factors such as the assassination of the King of Qin. However, King Wu of Qin undoubtedly did not realize all this. Although he was the King of Qin, King Wu of Qin still liked to engage in " extreme sports ", and died in his fourth year of reign.
Rather than saying that King Wu of Qin died because he raised the cauldron, it is better to say that King Wu of Qin died because he was brave, fierce, and brave.
So just judging from the personality of King Wu of Qin, King Wu of Qin is indeed not suitable to serve as King Qin. It can even be said that fortunately, King Wu of Qin was reigned for only four years. Otherwise, according to King Wu of Qin, Qin might have fallen into civil strife or even declined because King Wu of Qin was reigned for too long:
First, strong men are constantly being reused, which means that the development space for management talents is squeezed, and these talents will inevitably go into exile in other countries;
Second, even when King Wang Zheng swept the Six Kingdoms, King Wang Zheng did not forget to stabilize Qi , and King Wu of Qin did not consider dividing the Six Kingdoms at all. Under this thinking, it is likely to attract "group beatings" to Qin. The comprehensive strength of Qin in the era of King Wu of Qin was far beyond the reach of later generations.
