In 265 BC, King Zhao Xiaocheng officially ascended the throne and became the new generation King Zhao . But at this moment, Qin State suddenly took a harsh attack on Zhao State : first sent a large army to attack Zhao State and attacked three cities; then, Qin King Zhao summoned Zhao Xiaocheng Uncle Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng into Qin and seized it!
This year, in fact, the Qin country was not very peaceful: the mother of King Zhao of Qin Queen Mother Xuan died this year, and then King Zhao of Qin drove his uncle Ranghou back to the bribery. Ranghou has controlled the Qinzheng for decades, with a deep root. King Zhao of Qin suddenly drove away his uncle, and the internal affairs of Qin were actually not very stable at this time. Why did King Zhao of Qin still make things difficult for Zhao at this time?
All of this is for Fan Ju . After Fan Ju entered Qin, he not only assisted King Zhao of Qin to regain the government, but also surrendered to Han and Wei with the strategy of "getting far and attacking near and near", which was a hard work and great contribution. For this reason, King Zhao of Qin wanted to help Fan Ju take revenge and chased Wei Prime Minister who once persecuted Fan Ju. Wei Qi had no choice but to flee to Zhao State and surrender to Pingyuan Jun. After learning that Wei Qi was behind, Qin then launched a large-scale attack on Zhao State and detained Pingyuan Jun.
Pingyuan Jun is the uncle of King Xiaocheng of Zhao. His reputation as a virtuous person spread all over the world. He has served as the Prime Minister of Zhao many times, and he is highly respected. When King Zhao Xiaocheng learned that he was detained by the Qin people, he quickly sent a large army to surround Pingyuanjun's residence and wanted to arrest Wei Qi. Unwilling to be captured, Wei Qi scrambled out while the night was in the dark and asked Zhao Xiang Yu Qing for help. But Yu Qing felt that he was not sure of convinced King Zhao Xiaocheng, so he gave up his position and fled to Wei State with Wei Qi, hoping to use the power of Xinlingjun to escape to Chu State .
In the past two years, the State of Wei has long surrendered to Qin. When he heard that Wei Qi came to ask for help, Xinling Jun hesitated for a moment and did not accept him immediately. Wei Qi, who was desperate, actually drew his sword in despair and committed suicide!
When Wei Qi died, King Zhao Xiaocheng hurriedly sent someone to cut off his head and sent it to Qin State to exchange it for his uncle Pingyuanjun. After returning to China, Pingyuan Jun was immediately appointed as the new prime minister.
The Qin State invaded a large-scale invasion and the uncle was detained again. King Zhao Xiaocheng, who had just ascended the throne, encountered so many sudden events, and was really at a loss. Fortunately, his mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, is still there. During this extraordinary period, Empress Dowager Zhao took the initiative to stand up and actively assisted her son in getting through the difficulties.
However, Empress Dowager Zhao's participation in politics has caused some turmoil.
At the most dangerous moment when the Qin army invaded , the Zhao people were forced to ask for help from Qi State. But the people of Qi put forward a small condition: let Queen Mother Zhao's youngest son Chang'an Jun go to Qi as a hostage!
Although the eldest son became King Zhao, the younger son is the heart of Queen Mother Zhao. When Empress Dowager Zhao heard that she wanted to keep her youngest son away from her, she felt heartbroken for a moment and refused to agree, which made Zhao State extremely anxious. Finally, the old minister Chulong convinced Empress Dowager Zhao, and Zhao State sent Chang'an Jun to exchange for Qi State's rescue!
After this incident, the relationship between Zhao and Qi has greatly improved.
Just at this time, Yan State sealed the Song Dynasty's Rong Fen (fén) as the king of Gaoyang and was about to attack Zhao. Thinking that Qi and Yan were enemies, King Xiaocheng of Zhao asked the famous general of Qi to lead the Zhao army to attack Yan at the cost of three cities. The military generals of Zhao were originally full of talents, but now they actually wanted to borrow a general from another country to lead the army to fight, which made many generals of Zhao highly dissatisfied. For this reason, Zhao She also complained to the Prime Minister Pingyuan Jun, believing that Tian Dan could not really help Zhao attack Yan.
Facing the indignant Zhao She, Pingyuan Jun's answer seemed a little evasive: "General, please stop talking about this matter. I have already told the monarch. Fortunately, the monarch listened to me. General, don't say it again!"
Pingyuan Jun did not directly respond to why he asked Tian Dan to come to Zhao, but instead advised Zhao She not to talk about this matter again. It seemed that he had many hidden secrets.Thinking of Empress Dowager Zhao’s actions at this time, did she decide to use Tian Dan instead of Pingyuan Jun? After
, Tian Dan came to Zhao State and led the Zhao army to capture the Zhongren of Yan State (now Tang County, Hebei) and the Zhongren of South Korea (now Ruzhou, Henan).
In 264 BC, because Tian Dan made contributions, he replaced Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and became prime minister. However, just this year, Empress Dowager Zhao unfortunately passed away! Around the following year, Zhao Xiangguo became Jianxinjun again. (Note: Later generations discovered the spear and sword engraved by "Three Years of Prime Minister Jianxinjun", which proved that King Xiaocheng of Zhao changed his order to become prime minister in the third year) From Tian Dan's experience of Zhao He as the prime minister, it indirectly shows that Empress Dowager Zhao was the real decision-maker who promoted him to Zhao. Otherwise, Tian Dan would not have lost his position as soon as Empress Dowager Zhao died. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad for Zhao State. After all, he lacks prestige in Zhao State and has been questioned by many Zhao people, so it is difficult to achieve any great achievements. But the key is, what is the origin of Tian Dan’s successor, Jianxinjun?
After Jianxinjun was outstanding, Mr. Mou of Wei visited Zhao.
Although the young master Mou is not as famous as Xinling Jun in modern people, at that time, Gongzi Mou was a household name in the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was once enfeoffed Zhongshan, and he often interacted with academic masters such as Gongsun Long, , Zhan He , etc. The powerful Qin State Wei Ran and Fan Ju were both proud of making friends with him.
Hearing that the young master Mou came to Zhao State, King Xiaocheng of Zhao hurried to greet him in person. After the two returned to the palace, the young master Mou found a piece of silk cloth in front of Zhao Xiaocheng's seat, and was about to let the craftsmen take it to make a hat. Seeing the distinguished guest visiting, the craftsman temporarily avoided it, but the cloth was too late to take it away.
King Zhao Xiaocheng said politely: "Young Master is fortunate to visit my country. I hope you can hear the truth about governing the world!"
Looking at King Zhao Xiaocheng, Prince Mou seemed to be joking, saying: "The king values his country like this piece of silk woven fabric, then the king's country can be greatly governed!"
Hearing this, King Zhao Xiaocheng, King Zhao Xiaocheng, heard this, King Zhao Xiaocheng, King Zhao Xiaocheng, heard this, heard this, King Zhao Xiaocheng The face suddenly darkened and he said, "The former king didn't know that I was not a good person, so he let me enjoy the country, but how dare I look down on the country as you said!"
Seeing that King Zhao Xiaocheng was unhappy, Young Master Mou quickly said, "Don't be angry, please let me explain it to you." Then, he asked, "The king has such a piece of silk cloth, why don't the doctor let you make a hat?" The doctor was the close servant of King Zhao, but not a craftsman. King Zhao Xiaocheng said casually I replied: "Doctor doesn't know how to make a hat."
"If you make a hat bad, what harm can it do to the country? But the king must wait until the craftsman comes to let him do it. If the 'craftsmen' who governs the world is not selected like this, the country may become a ruin of empty signs, and the previous king will never get sacrifices. Now the king does not hand over the country to the craftsmen's governance, but it has given it to a young and beautiful man! Let's talk about the king's ancestors, once Use the rhinoceros Gongsun Yan to drive the carriage, and use the horse to serve the king Zhao She as the right hand. In this way, the Qin army must avoid Zhao Feng's victory and defeat with Qin! Now the king uses Jianxinjun to fight for victory and defeat with Qin. The subordinates are worried that the Qin people may break the chair behind the king! "
Gongzi Mou called Jianxinjun "Young Ai", or "Shao Ai", which refers to a young and beautiful man. In this way, the reason why King Jianxin can be valued is purely because King Zhao Xiaocheng is greedy for his beauty! King Huiwen of Zhao Refers to generals like Zhao She, but King Xiaocheng of Zhao only values male favorites. How can Zhao State compete with Qin for victory or defeat? When the dynasty heard such accusations, even if the young master spoke in a tactful tone, King Zhao Xiaocheng could not let go of his face.
Judging from the spear and sword engraved by "Eight Years of Prince Jianxinjun" discovered by later generations, Jianxinjun was still deeply favored by King Xiaocheng of Zhao until the Battle of Changping! This also proves that Young Master Mou's advice did not work at all.
Zhao Xiaocheng King just succeeded to the throne for three years and changed four prime ministers, proving that Zhao's political arena is no longer normal. But at this time, King Zhao Xiaocheng was still facing other confusions.
Once, King Zhao Xiaocheng went to the garden to play. The servants from both sides carried a rabbit to tease the tiger. They just sent it to his mouth and sucked it back. Being teased like this, the "King of the Forest" was furious and stared at the person with wide eyes. King Zhao Xiaocheng felt a little scared and said, "The eyes of tigers are so annoying!"
But the servant's answer surprised him even more: "Pingyangjun's eyes are more hateful than this tiger! It is not dangerous to see tiger eyes like this, but people like Pingyangjun's eyes must die!"
Pingyangjun, the same mother-in-law Zhao Bao, is another uncle of King Zhao Xiaocheng. This close servant's comment on Uncle Wang was soon discovered by Pingyang Jun. In anger, King Pingyang killed this close servant! Perhaps King Xiaocheng of Zhao ignored this because of his elders' majesty.
In 262 BC, the Koreans Feng Ting presented Shangdang County to Zhao State. King Zhao Xiaocheng asked Pingyangjun to consult this matter, and Zhao Bao firmly opposed it and accepted: "The sages regard the benefits obtained for no reason as a disaster!"
King Zhao Xiaocheng was extremely unhappy and said: "People are inspired by my kindness, how can they say it is for no reason?"
Zhao Bao was extremely clear-headed: "The Qin State eroded South Korea's land and cut its territory into three sections. It turned out that he thought Shangdang was already in his pocket. Because the Han people did not want to surrender to Qin, they blamed Zhao. Qin has worked hard for several years but made Zhao profit for free. Can the Qin people agree? How can this be said to be a benefit for no reason! Besides, Qin has long promoted the ox plowing fields and transporting grain with water, and eroding and dividing South Korea for several years. At this time, it cannot be an enemy of Qin, and it must not be accepted by Shangdang! "The popularization of ox plowing technology has greatly increased the economic strength of Qin; using water to transport grain has made the Qin army's logistics support more quickly and reliable. There are too many comprehensive national strengths in Qin than Zhao, so Zhao Bao firmly opposes being an enemy of Qin.
Perhaps it was because Pingyang Jun once killed his close servant, and King Xiaocheng of Zhao had a grudge against him, so he did not listen to Zhao Bao and believed Pingyuan Jun, and eventually brought the disaster to Changping.
Zhao Bao killed King Zhao Xiaocheng's close servant, which really means bullying the weak leader. For this reason, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng once advised him not to be too arrogant and extravagant, and Pingyang Jun also accepted it sincerely. But why did the close servants dare to openly provoke the closest relatives of King Xiaocheng of Zhao? Was it because King Xiaocheng of Zhao himself was dissatisfied with the prince's clan, or was the close servant being instructed by outsiders? After all, in order to deal with Zhao State, Fan Ju once sent Tang Ju to bring a lot of money to Zhao to chaotic people's hearts and achieved great success!
Before the battle of Changping, the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty regarded Zhao as the last hope to resist Qin, so the Korean Feng Ting decisively led Shangdang to surrender to Zhao. However, after three years after King Xiaocheng of Zhao succeeded to the throne, he replaced four prime ministers. King Zhao's close relatives were still suspicious, proving that chaos had occurred in the upper class of Zhao. Why did such a chaotic upper class lead Zhao to a protracted strategic decisive battle with the most powerful Qin State in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
So, the winner of the battle in Changping was decided long before Feng Ting offered the Party to Zhao State.
