I am the Qingshan Lord and the pine, and I know that each other’s thoughts are the same;
Looking out of Qin Pass, my old dream came to Hedong after parting.
This poem is a true portrayal of the last success in "The Fission of the Great Qin Empire". Yingquliang and Shang Yang . They share their birthdays with each other, and they suffer the same hardships. After suffering and their final success.
In 356 BC, 39-year-old Shang Yang entered the Hangu Pass for a ruling of talent for Qin Quliang, and met the 27-year-old Qin Xiaogong .
Shang Yang visited Qin for three months and took out the "Nine Theory of Strong Qin" to make Ying Quliang, who was eager to seek talent, find a confidant from his soul, and thus hit it off.
"Ying Quliang's courage, wisdom, will, character and mind are rare in the ages. Otherwise, they would not have been loyal to Shang Yang, the powerful minister, let alone achieve success; Shang Yang has always looked down on the world, but he was truly impressed by Qin Quliang. For twenty years, he always had a clear feeling that Qin Gong is Mount Tai, he is just a clown pine and cypress on Mount Tai. Without this solid mountain of ten thousand feet, there would be no clown pine and green cypress on the top of the top." This passage in the book,
, is enough to demonstrate the profound connotation of this combination of life and death.
Life and Death combination took only twenty years to complete three major events in the Qin State at that time: reform, capital migration, and recovery of Hexi , turning a poor and ignorant western princes into a wealthy and powerful first-class Warring States .
The key to the combination of life and death lies in the word "death".
Shang Yang, who reached the ultimate in his merits, certainly knew the ancient rules cast by countless meritorious officials with blood donation. There were Wenzhong and Fan Li in the distance, and Tian Ji and Sun Bin in the near future. Wenzhong did not listen to Fan Li's advice and insisted on assisting in the country and was killed; Fan Li resigned decisively and retired to the world for a lifetime; Tian Ji was hurt and forced to flee from Qi State ; Sun Bin retreated to the mountains and forests to write military books, wisely avoiding the most dangerous end of heroes. However, he decided to use his life as a cost to ensure that the reform can take root in Qin.
Yingquliang of course knew that in order to ensure Shang Yang's life and worry, he made a series of operations that ordinary people could not understand. First, even though he knew that Shang Yang already had a wife and children, he still had to betroth his sister to Shang Yang to connect him with the Ying family's bloodline and increase the insurance coefficient. The second is to kill his elder brother, , Gongzi Qian, , according to the rules of his ancestors, and eliminate Shang Yang's biggest potential threat in the future. The third is to eliminate the leader of the largest conservative force, Ganlong , which is also the force that poses the strongest threat to Shang Yang in the future.
However, in order to maintain his reform achievements, Shang Yang gave a speech one by one.
This kind of spiritual connection has transcended life and death, moved the world, and shook the mountains and rivers.
